What about before

Have you ever thought about what you may or may not have done before to deserve what you got now? Reading about karma....not only karma in this life, but karma carrying over from many lives before. It is said that if we treated people bad in a previous life, we will be treated bad in a life yet to come...possibly this life. So with that said, are we exactly where we are today because of multitudes of life decisions? Being a simple person, I always thought we were where we are at because of present life decisions.

What about it? If you are a miserable bastard today and believe you have never wronged anyone, maybe it is payback for something a 1000 years ago. Or, maybe you are just an idiot and failed to see something from somebody's perspective eye whom you put tears in.

dunno


Anyway, where is Robert? I was waiting for part II.

cheers

my Saturday

Nothing really to blog about. I figured I would try about the reptilians but nobody thought that was dinner conversation. I was going to write a series II about men and their nipples, but figured that would be equally not appealing at the dinner table. Maybe about my Saturday? I figured, why not.

Got drunk...for the first time since Thanksgiving....same result as that too.

It seems that I am a very happy drunk.

I bought two pitchers of Snake Nuts at the first bar, me about 3 other people finished those off. A friend of mine brought up the perfect idea at the perfect time....take a shot of Snake Nuts through our nose. So, I tried it.

It was fun. lol

So, my buddy Bert and his girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to go to another bar. There, I had an equally good time. I bought another pitcher of Snake Nuts and I was throwing shot plastic glasses down the bar at others who just had to try it with me...and...yes...I told them about my new found way of taking shots. For some reason, I was the only one snorting it through my nose. Geez...people don't know how to have fun

interesting read in Psychology Today

A gentleman wrote in saying he is trying to be everything for his wife and providing everything she wants, but he is not getting what he wants...sex.

The Psychologist responded to his concern...and she states that in today's world with the roles of women and men changing, there is confusion of sorts going on with both genders. One thing she states about women, the same qualities that they want in a loving relationship, are the same qualities that DO NOT foster a drive for sex.

confused

Hmmmm

Her recommendation to the gentleman was to talk with his wife....basically no real solution.

exploitation

Are you being exploited if somebody makes a profit from you....from your labor....from your possessions.

In the world of Capitalism, is not that what it is all about?

We all have to survive/tools.

Okay. We all have to survive in this world. It would be a little better if you can thrive so as we can create comfort for ourselves down the road. In this ever changing technological world, I cannot help to think about what tools would be essential for creating comfort.

The first tool that comes to mind is knowledge. I think an obsession with knowledge is just as bad as not having any knowledge. There has to be a balance. In my opinion, the balance is created with knowledge and real life experiences.

The next tool that comes to mind is a network of friends. I was once told, it is not what you know...but who you know. I think in order to become part of a network, you need to have something to contribute within that network. With that said, that saying I heard is partially true. It helps to know something as to not become a sponge to that network...but to also contribute and become one of its assets.

The third tool that comes to mind is reputation. It is difficult to thrive in society if you have a bad reputation. Especially with social media, it is easy for your reputation to get spotted. Treat people with respect is important.

The forth tool that comes to mind...actually has to do with the mind. A healthy and happy mindset allows you to perceive reality clearer and have the motivation to achieve comfort. Not to mention, the capacity to better understand (coupled with knowledge).

The fifth tool I can think of is the ability to manage your finances effectively. It don't matter what sort of money you make, if you spend it as it comes in your wallet....it will be difficult to create comfort down the road.

The sixth tool....the ability to discern friends and lover(s). This comes with some knowledge and some experience. I have always said, allowing the wrong person in your life can create a hell on earth for yourself. However, it is said that humans are social creatures and yearn for companionship. So be careful, but yet...allow people in your life.

Are there any other tools you believe have helped you in life that you would encourage somebody who is entering this world to use?

Happy Sunday to you all.

can quality children parenting exist in single households?

I would argue in so many ways it cannot.


....even if the single parent was home 24/7 to provide a parental figure in the child's life when it was needed.

....even with two parents in the home...quality parental guidance seems to be fairly rare

....if no quality guidance

....equals questionable future paths


I have recently talked with so many people who just have outright hate in them...I feel bad for them...but, it is all they know.

Like I heard recently with George H. W.'s funeral, "Hate corrodes the container it is carried in."

If only these people could have a better way of dealing with their negative emotions.

..anyway...just a thought.

doing some research online...one question struck me

This question was asked by many many men....in fact there is now a movement that is still rather in its infancy and is growing "MGTOW" ....Men Go Their Own Way....

With my research this is the first I heard of this movement.

Basically, this movement has a common question that men seem to ask...

With divorce favoring women as much as it does...what benefit is there for a man to become married?


Anyway....I am still doing my research and poking around on the internet....but found this interesting.


Any take on this?

Any answer to that question?

hello all

traveling abroad

I have never traveled abroad before and I am planning a trip to the Philippines in January. I will be arriving in Cebu and taking a ferry to Bohol. Upon my research on the internet, that seems like the typical tourist trip taken.

Of course, my research and my inquiries have turned up even more questions about traveling abroad that I can find answers for. For one, how safe is it to travel to the Philippines? I have discovered that kidnapping does indeed happen there and that theft and robberies are commonplace. Of course, being a smart traveler will help safeguard against dangers, but there is no guarantees in life either. In order to be a smart traveler, I felt I needed to write this blog to hopefully get some tips on traveling abroad from the more experienced than myself.

Here are some additional concerns that I do have, that I have heard from some other people...not sure how true they are or not. Any other things I should watch for would greatly be appreciated.

...My first hold over will be in South Korea. (I was told that I would have difficulty making it out of that airport because they are huge and very busy and that the signs will be written in a language other than English). That really does not make sense because it is an international airport. But, I have never been there so I don't know for sure.

...This leads to another concern. I will be traveling by myself...and of course being new to this experience, I myself am also responsible for any language barriers. Not everyone I am going to need to associate with will know English. How do you communicate or deal with situations like that?

...I was also told that security at airports look for people who are nervous and will take them for questioning. Sometimes that questioning can go bad really quick, especially if there are language barriers. There is a good chance I will be a little nervous at times being an unseasoned international traveler. Any advice about that?

...I was also told to be very careful in international airports, especially the Philippines about employees slipping things in your luggage and then asking for money from you to not report it. I was told to not have luggage with pockets on its outside and if you can, wrap your luggage. Also, don't help anyone carry their luggage because this is how drugs get transported and if you get caught carrying that luggage, of course you will be responsible for its contents.

...Also, are there any tips on getting great airfare rates?

...Anything else that a new international traveler should be careful with or it would be helpful if it is known about?

Thanks all for your advice.

In a relationship...

I just want to let everyone know that I am currently in a relationship. Things are becoming better and better by the day. I am very lucky to have found such a wonderful woman. I hope everything works out well in our future, right now things could not be better. She is perfect.

applause

But, I do enjoy the blogs here and I will be still writing blogs, participating, and hopefully continuing to learn things.


But....for sure....I will not be looking for any sort of relationship....other than just friends. I have many friends here and I thank you all for being there for me. You are all wonderful people, and I wish you the best in your search.

Am I seeing things wrongly?

Is it me, or are all the personal attacks on people here on the blogs reducing the blog activity by people? If so, what a great way of trying to make a meaningful connection with somebody....encourage them not to return. doh

what would you rather do?

Sit at home, let loneliness and depression creep in ever so slowly, or get out and be a part of the environment...even if that environment is deemed as not so good?

...like a bar
...like a casino
...like a dance establishment
...like a party


I feel if you don't let those places become you....they can fill in any available gaps one has in their life in the meanwhile.

Of course, given if you are a single person.

Otherwise do what? Go to a movie by yourself? Go to a restaurant by yourself? Go to a cooking class that does not exist in your area by yourself? Go hiking by yourself? Go traveling by yourself?

Don't get me wrong, I do spend time doing things with my family, but sometimes those things don't bring you in the most social situations.

Any ideas?
