    I found the motivation here at SMF

    I wrote that sentence "elsewhere" (John has a long moostache, John has a long moostache) lol...

    I decided on taking another vacation day as I'm getting older and can't out run a speeding bullet, jump higher then a tall story or listen to as much bull poo as in my younger days.

    Now onto the title of the thread.

    I find that as I read around the SMF boards that it reminds me of things I have or might have and also provides interesting snacks and full meals of interesting information that motivates me with my plan from planet 3, (had to name it something).



    I wonder just what I have for older computer stuff as I read around the boards and see the pictures of the interesting stuff. I'm in no rush to mess with the computer stuff I have around here as I have other things that I would rather do. It's like the computer stuff don't even exist, yet it does in reality.

    I suppose it is my version of denial and fantasy and fictional realities. I ignore most of what is sitting around the yard as I don't want to invest the TIME into messing with it as of now.

    AND, when you add all the other scrap & vintage crapola I have. You might understand why I'm mostly in a custom form of denial and forget about what is here. Or maybe it's old timers disease?

    But seriously, I find many forms of motivation and learning here as I read what others have written or copy & pasted.

    I learn the most from what others DON"T say.

    Here I am spending part of my vacation day visiting with you.

    but then none of my invisible friends have showed up as of yet.

    but then again, they might be here and I don't know it.

    their farts give them away...

    ChildhoodDream- You always have...interesting...posts. Never know what is going to find checking them out!

    Just curious, do you have a will and/or a plan with what will become of your property if say you got killed in a car accident? I don't know if you have any family or not but I wonder what would happen to all of your stuff on your land??

    I find it interesting that many ask that question.

    I have family and friends that I get on well with.

    As for the so called last will and testament.

    I have that as covered as can be. Some might find it odd that there are not many that would be interested in taking on my estate.

    It's mostly stuff that I really don't need, I just happen to have.

    I Live in a TIME capsule as that was where I wanted to experience the adventures in TIME travel,lol...

    If you can't understand me clearly, it's perfectly normal as I communicate from another realm simply put.

    in a larger world that prefers the vague and superstitious concepts of words and their many meanings that place people and their concepts into nice made up packages that create the illusion of having control of the illusions.

    How much does the easter bunny weigh?

    The answer is found after the proper scientific theories have been formulated and published in the proper papers so that others can build the machines and devices.

    I view this world as mostly a tragic comedy.

    Many lifeforms seem to enjoy being trained and programmed for the treats and praise they might receive.

    I myself never took well to the programming and training as it just didn't feel right deep down inside.

    I myself find myself entertaining & interesting as even I'm not sure of just what I might come up with.

    When you are what you are and you know who you are and WHY you are within honest comfort,

    you can have a greater understanding of the bigger world and it's stage play.

    I have a view of this world and it's "advanced life forms" as if I was on another world watching interstellar programming.

    From the buyers of magic beans & special elixirs to the rather large lady putting up the lost dog posters with the poor little dog stuck in the crease of her moo moo looking at me.

    We don't know what ChildhoodDream sounds like and his writings to me are a bit more like poetry but he sort of reminds me of comic Steven Wright

    I did a clean out for a local farmer that was friends with a cousin of mine a few years back and my cousin told me that the farmer had asked him what sort of medication I was on as I was so relaxed and "happy".

    He told him that I wasn't on any sort of medication, that it was just the way that I am.

    Back in the 60's we had the duck and cover as the BIG BOMB was a threat.

    In the 70's we had road rage from the pressures of the road travel blowing stressed peoples fuses.

    Then in the 80's we had going postal.

    The 90's was the war on terror, and the adverts for so called anti-depressants to cure what ails you.
    I wondered about there being so many that required anti-represents that there was many commercials for them and all the possible side effects.

    I quit watching programmed TV around that time.
    Been over 20 something years since I received TV signals here. I watch recorded media from the past for entertainment & learning.

    and the 90's brought the end of the known world.

    Funny thing is that MOST people that bought generators were returning them in 2000. And what to do with all the toilet paper, bottled water and other stock piles of emergency supplies that were bought for when the world ended in 1999.

    Then on to the next phases in human resources programming for BE$T profits and control.

    And here we are today in the NOW.

    Is the world still ending? Is some magical man from the sky going to fix things up? The so called rapture doctrine is only about 165 years old. Before that no one believed the rapture doctrines as they had not been made up as of yet.

    People love their distractions from what bothers them the most.

    WHAT is it that most are bothered by the most?

    Themselves and their deceptions and lies called good.

    I realize how most others view me. I get in the way of the make believe and pretend realities that most try and follow as their reality.

    When you are yourself and not a sheeple, you find that "magic" that most dream of and never find.

    Life is what you make it,
    most just try and fake it.

    Stand up comedy? I don't like crowds of people seeking desperate escape from themselves as it's a tragic comedy that don't end well.

    But it's not over until the fat lady sings.

    An excellent muse.

    I'm not the happiest person...but then I'm still forced to participate with the sheeple and their own faux musings.

    The tragedy of this society that some of us pretend to live within is that everyone seems to have FORGOT THE PAST. Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it, I live by that. I dare say in this society I am finding legitimate reason for someone from the outside (read: terrorists, other countries, etc) to truly hate us. And every day that hate is legitimized by self indulgence, instant gratification and having the highest rate of suicide in the known world despite being the richest most pampered people in existance. That is a tragedy.

    I found this old thread and reread it and figured I would bump it as it is interesting reading in my opinion.
