I love computers

I wish I was a nerd

I love computers. Always have. You know why I love computers?  Because it's even playing ground. No matter your age, race, sex, income, computers treat you the same. Definitely, absolutely not the Internet, but the rest of the computer does, for now at least. It doesn't slow down the mouse for your youngest daughter when she's using it, not without being asked specifically to do so, through a tab or screen control, which no person outside of who you specifically want to can control it. I wish they weren't trying so hard to make computers smart. What do we need that for?  Has any of it added to our quality of life?  No!!!!

  Look at society. We're falling apart. Look. Closely. Doesn't everywhere you go seem to be full of stresses?  What if we don't buy into that anymore?  What if we stop trying to live the story we've been given and instead just LIVE. Go with the flow. Hasn't life always been so much more enjoyable when you've been "in the zone" of life. In the zone of living? * 

I know. That sounds scary. We've been living in the hot zone for so long we can't even remember what it's like to not live this way. To not live always weary, always scared.  Don't we have to keep living this "for our own protection"?  That's been the biggest fallacy there is!  If it weren't for a couple books we wouldn't know what this is?  We would just be living it. We would just be going moment by moment. But we have books telling us how we should do it. How it should go. Almost every single thing I've heard Jesus say, or read from other religious books basically seem to say the exact same thing; they say to love, to treat others as we want to be treated, to live by example, to not judge.  It doesn't say separate yourselves, build walls, create diversions, go to war, kill each other, destroy the planet. Or did I misread something. We aren't meant to fight this battle. It is not our place to wage the war. It does not satisfy our soul. It does not make us truly happy. And yes. That can be scary to think of. To try and shift so far from the paradigm that's been set for you. That has been all you know. Scary!!!

 Even going back to my very own ideas of good/bad just being two parts to one equal energy. And that there could never be a majority hold in either; both being completely equal.  So this would in my opinion just mean that it would consolidate power (into fewer and fewer people).  In other words if we stop pursuing this idea of right and wrong and stop trying to police the world, then someone would still be the owners of this fight/power. Somewhere out there Good and evil would still be fighting "The Great Fight". But if we as humans were left to be but mere animals again, allowed to enjoy our lives as we see fit, then only God and the devil themselves would be left to handle it. And why should it not be so?  Why must we be pawns in the game of the "All Mighty"?  

So yea. That's why I love computers.

*by this I mean in your utmost truth. With your heart on your sleeve, vulnerable, exposed in the absolute moment of pure truth.

Digressing from above: There are more female in the world then men. You do not have to swing your dicks in the air trying to get the girls. You have nothing to prove to no one. I'm not really sure I believe in monogamy and I most definitely do not believe in heterosexuality/homosexuality. I believe humans love whom we love when we want to love them.   Not for a set amount of time, not for a set amount of feelings. Our lives are fluid, like water; not meant to be bottled up (pun intended) but to roar like wildfire down a million and one waterfalls (if we so chose).  But this does not mean that you don't have very special people with whom to share your life with, a lifetime even. If anything it means just the opposite. It means that the relationships you do have are very, very meaningful and honest and true. 

Take back the night!

Love and light - common. Not so common - love and night. 

When did doing things after dark get scary?  

I remember when I was growing up it was just beaches and parks (as far as public spaces) that were closed after sunset. Why? Maybe some could say resources. But why?  So cities could save money on patrolling them?  Maybe because dumb-asses did stupid things in them after dark? 

What we need to do is to take back the night. Do people of Barrows, Alaska not leave their house for over 65 days?  Or do they just arbitrarily decide when public spaces close? 

Why in some cities have they made it so that if you are merely walking down the street after dark, you are suspected of loitering unless you have a dog tethered to you and that you should be prepared to be stopped by the police in said case?  Merely for walking in non-daytime hours?  Do only bad people come outside after dark?  It shouldn't be that way, just like the LGBT shouldn't be able to confiscate the rainbow symbol. If it's true then we (not the police) need to take back the night and not by forming neighborhood watches but by actually using the streets at night. By actually enjoying our world in all its periods. Maybe that was the best statement William Pharrell could have made with his 24 hours of recording of the "happy" song. I'm not saying that was his intention. Though perhaps that could be extrapolated. That it is our world, our streets, we can be happy (not afraid) in them. The government shouldn't have the right to tell us when and where to use our public spaces, (and most especially not our private ones, accepting that we are following the "harm principal: the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others- not including consensual harm between adults, and purposeful harm to oneself, of course).  Their job is just to be there when and if we need them to be there, not before that time, ensuring we are all coloring between the lines.

 Plus. If I do some dumbass stuff; like drink a fifth of vodka and try and swim across a river then I shouldn't need the police to rescue me, or my family to sue said police for not rescuing me, I should accept that I was a dumbass. Maybe, if there is some kind stranger there, or a loving friend I get talked out of it or helped when I am in need? Maybe..... but it seems to me what we need more of in this world is holding hands and less shackling them. 

I don't know.  That's my take on the situation.  So many topsy turvy things in our world that to address each and every single one would take more lifetimes than I have. M
