I had a dream!

Spiders like me.

Seriously, this is what I learned from my dream (not saying it's necessarily true... but my karma with spiders is pretty good, i don't squish them, they don't eat me).

..........

Want to hear a true story?

I used to know a place with literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of mosquito's living. I let them be and talked to them sometimes (like people talk to their dogs, pets, or fellow hominids). For months, we were mostly silent friends. Co workers, in a sense. Eventually... I was told I had to do away with them... I was sad. I apologized to them... They didn't accept my apology and if I remember correctly.. I had over 20 mosquito bites in less than a few minutes of killing them (when all the months before that I had not even one). I still feel bad.

I wonder if Buddhist monks squish mosquitos...

I did by the way tell the mosquito's they could bite me, just don't leave any bumps or (especially) diseases on anyone... So I suppose it's possible I was bitten, but no bumps were left (by metaphysical standards, likely due to the silent agreement of the mosquito's and I, by scientific standards, because my subconsciously overwhelmingly defeated what is typically considered the logical body reaction to produce itchy bumps that one cannot control themselves from itching.

also, i suppose it's possible that in terms of statistics, i was the one in a billion chance that over a million mosquito's would just happen to miss me for months in a row. the metaphysical explanation is much more likely than that, and because i've experienced this event from metaphysical point of reference (through multiple tests), I'd say the most likely cause of this is of metaphysical origin, probably more than 99% of the world will say it's more than likely by scientifically proven origin... well i've got news for those people, metaphysics in my book is the art of scientifically proving once thought metaphysical theories. how? mostly be trial and error.

I get mosquito bites sometimes now.

I feel bad when people scream at me to squish a water bug or roach... What do I do? Be a man and kill an inch long bug? Or... Stand up for those who are stood up for least... If a cockroach was vibrantly colored like a butterfly, would people still hate it? I really hope people's main argument against why a butterfly is better than a cockroach is because roaches eat garbage... Butterflies eat poop. I saw it and I have photo to prove it. That doesn't make me want to squish butterflies though. Because the duckling was ugly, was the ducking "put down." I don't think so.

The End.

New Blog Design

I'm spiffing things up around here. I've got a new background image, which is supposed to be in the public domain from Old Book Illustrations.

As far as I know the image I used is in the public domain. Please let me know if you know otherwise! I just inverted the colors on it and extracted the white while making the background color my banner the same as my page theme.

Let me know what you think!

Creative

Creative does not necessarily mean artistic or creating art, it means actively using the skill, creation. She is being creative, creating. This is not taking into consideration the seemingly fact that everything could be considered an art in one way or another. She is being creative, creating a book, creating a baby, creating a painted picture.

Creative has the connotation that it must have something to do with art.

What my notepads look like

I am afraid to love.

Love makes one so selfless, seemingly powerless, but truly the most powerful.

I want to love.

I want all to love.

I am sorry for the wrong things I've done.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know where to go from here.

I'm lost.

What do I do?

- There is humiliation to be appreciated that comes from sharing ones most inner thoughts. - I hope I am a benefit to humanity.

I am afraid of humility.

But I believe in truth more.

We laugh at our problems because the true solutions are subconsciously hidden within all of us.

Our perceptions change as our awareness increase.

Compassion is in love.
Truth is a part of love.
Sincerity is a by product of love.
Love is a part of selflessness.

Love is a part of all these things and most likely (out of all possibly likeliness more.

A business man can spread peace by spreading peace all over the world.

The equal right to great happiness, an insurmountable amount. The equal right of violence, zero right.

I find the value of my internal happiness below most things, people, and places.

One must like pretending to be in a completely different situation to truly be acting, making it seem as though they truly were in a completely different situation..

Sometimes I do not focus on a single thought and run with it to see where my thoughts will lead me without obstruction and encouragement honest. I suppose I am focusing on something though, learning as many things as possible.

I wonder if my learning and introspection seems to be vanity?

I have developed habits and mannerisms to become a standard method of thought retrieval. For some reason I seem to use physical motion of my body to bring out thoughts... Perhaps I'm just focusing on two things at the same time. I scratch my head because I wonder if it causes balding. I rub my hands because I wonder what will happen.

There are four methods of control, the violent way, the peaceful way, the mixed way, and the lack of control - chaos.

Because I am a low-manned person on the totem pole of knowledge, I can not say for sure if there truly is order to our entire world as we know it, whether it is chaos, or if it is at least mixed, or controlled through violence.

Why are we not going the way of peace though? It is the righteous thing to do. I believe it is likely the most humble and the most rewarding thing to do.

I want to know the truth, but sometimes in fear of losing happiness, I hide from it, the truth always prevails, and I learn what I was in fear of turned out to be something to love. Yet I am still afraid.

-- Over Two Hours Worth of Writing -- from approx. 12am to 2am. Perhaps earlier, I checked the post time which say 9:59, and the draft autosaved at 3:13 (so it's an hour ahead from my computer time) which makes me wonder if it's really been 5 or 6 hours. That doesn't seem correct.

What Apple fails to realize - iTunes sucks for some Podcasters

I tried to signup for iTunes to submit my podcast, but it appears I absolutely have to enter payment information even though I plan on buying nothing. They may say I don't need to purchase anything, but why do I need to enter in my payment information then? I would feel much more secure about not entering in my payment information for things I don't want to buy.

This may seem great to Apple at first, because then more people are enticed to buy things, because it will be that much easier in the future.

What Apple fails to realize is for those people submitting content such as podcasters or directors, it scares them away (and rightly so) by giving them an illogical approach to sharing their video ("enter in your payment information to share your podcast). This hurts Apple because that means they have less content and will have less content. Apple is killing their own service... lol.

My parody impression of an Apple Representative as means of protest:
Hey, sign up for my services to watch free content and buy some if you want to, BUT YOU MUST GIVE ME YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION EITHER WAY. It doesn't sound like we're up to anything unethical... Accidental purchase? Wow, we thought at would be the least possible thing to happen, considering we make you enter in payment information even if you're not buying anything.

There should be an option to ask for payment information on each purpose and NOT save payment information on their servers. I suppose some things are too complicated for those who keep it proprietary (in the box)... Maybe they need to reach out more, take some ethics courses.

Maybe I'm being to hard, maybe I'm just the same... If so, please let me know my mistakes. If you don't think I'm being too hard, then let people know how their services could be better (cough cough, Apple, cough). Most companies enjoy quality feedback, but rarely take it into consideration unless a lot of people express their opinion.

So go, express your opinion either at Apple or here. Express to Apple and here if you do so prefer, which would be just as welcomed. Tell Apple to stop hindering your accessible content.

Diversify Your Blogging

Have you ever had something you want to blog about but you don't really want it on your current blog, but then at the same time you don't want to let the idea go to waste?

Start another blog on another service! That's what I did. That's a sign-up link to where I blog a little, share some photos and more. A little but detailed flash intro is there to explain the services good.

I have SO many blogs! If anyone ever wants to trade links, just send me a message and I'll see what I can do!

You get paid by number of profile views and by referring new members (and it doesn't effect their pay percentage either). Have fun blogging! :)
