In the past couple of years, I learnt that my political leanings are to the left. In fact, my ideals put me in a similar area as Ghandi and Martin Luther King. While I have a blog on politics and news and I've talked enough about politics in my old journal, I've never actually defined my ideal society. My political beliefs lend themselves towards what I see as an ideal society, and I have often had various opinions and comments that I've discussed, but never wrote down. So now I'm changing that and writing them down.
The latest shuttle liftoff experienced a piece of debris falling off the fuel tank and hitting the shuttle. At this stage they don't believe it caused any significant damage.
What I'd like to know is, why were they able to make safe and reliable fuel tanks during most of the space race in the 60's and 70's and even 80's, but today they keep falling apart? It began with the Challenger disaster in 1986, and has kept on happening ever since.
They're spending too much money killing people than they are on building decent space technology. Idiots.
I was saying to Deidre last weekend, as we were leaving Reading Starbucks, that a relaxing weekend for me just isn't relaxing if there's no visit to the Starbucks in the Reading Cinema complex. I'm here again now, and I feel like my day is almost complete. Aaahh… the lovely chai latte, people walking past, and so on.
So what is it I enjoy about it, I hear you asking. You know, I'm really glad you asked. If it wasn't for you and your questions, I don't know if I'd have all that much to write about.
Some weeks ago I came down with some kind of flu that gave me a headach, achey bones, and a general feeling of non-wellness. I seem to have it again.
It began on Wednesday, and I was the fortunate recipient of a massage that Deidre gave me to help me feel better. It worked, but another day at work on Thursday made me feel like crap, so I didn't go to work yesterday and stayed home in bed instead. I feel the same way today, but just a bit less than the past couple of days, so I guess it's getting better.
I've been very excited lately about these blogs. I can make blogs for all types of different subject, and have all of them easily available to post to from a single entry point. It really does make posting entries so much easier.
From that single point, I can do a New Post for any of the blogs, or go to their settings page. I can see how many posts I've done per blog, when I last updated it in any way, and even create a new blog if I want to. Very easy!
The last time I went to the dentist was in high school. The only toothache I've ever had since then was 10 years later, which was about 11 years ago. (Yes, I was in high school 21+ years ago.) It was the last tooth at the back of the left side, and the toothache was on and off for about a year, but was never bad enough to force me to go to a dentist at the time, so I never did, and then the toothaches went away. Since then, the tooth has slowly been rotting away. I guess the nerves were the first to go…
The Herald said on its website that Teele gave a security guard a message for one of the newspaper's columnists – asking him to tell Teele's wife, Stephanie, that Teele loved her – then took a gun out of a bag, held it to his head and pulled the trigger.
It's sad that a man who loved his wife, would still choose to kill himself. It's sad because I can't imagine what he was going through, that killing himself was better than continuing life with the woman he loved, even if it was going to be spent in prison. He hadn't even been convicted. I guess the embarrassment and the possibility of conviction was enough for him to decide to end his life.
Now that I'm not going to be focusing on researching and investigating news and information, as I was over the past few months, I'll have a lot more time up my sleeve. What am I going to do with that time?
Well, I think moving forward in creating a positive reality will be a good start. I'll be reading more positive material, helping me build up a better image of my life, and helping me create a better life. I want more money, so I'll be creating opportunities for myself to bring more money to me. Why do I want more money? So that I have more options available to me.
Most of the western world knows that the Chinese government are oppressive, and that the internet, for example, is severely censored. Large numbers of key words, like democracy and freedom, are banned on the Chinese internet network, so whenever a person within China tries to access a website with any of the banned keywords in them, they get the 'usual' page can not be displayed error. Most Chinese people think that the internet is full of websites that just don't work, and they remain blissfully ignorant.
The other day I downloaded an e-book I found that's called The Science Of Getting Rich. I just started reading it today, and I found this statement:
YOU CANNOT RETAIN A TRUE AND CLEAR VISION OF WEALTH if you are constantly turning your attention to opposing pictures, whether they be external or imaginary.
Do not tell of your past troubles of a financial nature, if you have had them. Do not think of them at all. Do not tell of the poverty of your parents or the hardships of your early life. To do any of these things is to mentally class yourself with the poor for the time being, and it will certainly check the movement of things in your direction. Put poverty and all things that pertain to poverty completely behind you.
