Not Dead

Anyone out there care?   Not that I am much. Just wondering is all.  I suppose I could ask the same of you and I suppose I care do cause I am here. Didn't plan on it and in fact nowhere on my agenda tonight at all.  Just dropping by to say hello if that's OK with you. Hope you are all doing fine - wherever you may be or who you are. 

I don't believe in tolerance or 'whatever' but I do believe in acceptance in change.

What do you believe in?   No reply required for I never expect any reply - not now anyway. 
It is the world around me and so I know.

I Think...

I am looking up a dead horses behind here.  so...

See you if I please. Might just as well conform to the the rest of you sheep. Now shit on me for saying that but let us not forget whose shoes we are wearing.  So easy to judge and not see 'me' and so downhill we slid.  The history of man teaches nothing for we conform to the day and that day is but a vicious circle and so you dwell and I do tell but you do not hear. Here today and gone tomorrow and what story did you tell?  Told mine and I'll do fine but what about you?  So sad , too bad and away I go.

What To Say

Hi All,

No intentions of much here this night but a comment made and so lets see what comes of it. 

Yes Gord, I do question why I do it at times and I have to be truthful with myself  as to the question.  Question myself all the time and why I do a good many things and if is all me or that which is around me that passes on influence.  I do believe it is both.  Had a not so good evening at work and I allowed it to affect my mood.  It was not the work I had to do but the attitude and thoughtlessness of those involved.  I just can't do my job the way I want or as it was intended to be done because of it and that riles me.  I find I am allowing this frustration to interfere with what I do and my attitude is not as good as it should be.  I understand why people give up just say 'to hell with it' no one cares anyway. I hear that so often . Find myself going there but am still fighting it and maybe one day win the battle.  I won't fight to lose. Won't fight any battle to lose.  So on I plug and not being depressed about it but I do use some anger to see me through.  It is a fact you know, that people with a little anger under their belts get more done than those who don't.  It seems they put that anger to use in their work.  It is true.  Too bad it is that way.

I prefer to work alone now and the one I work with I talk with only when as a need to.  Bad influence on me this one is for if there ever was a person who see in others and not of herself , she is the one. Friday night and called in sick. We had to do a little extra work last night and just like the last event called in sick.  Makes her own rules and criticizes if they should do the same.  I just don't understand people like this, and it's not because I feel 'short-changed' ( never will, do what I do) but the hypocrisy of it all drives me nuts.  Then there is the bulls..t stories told as to why and the thought that maybe I am just stupid enough to believe it.  Told her where I come from many a time but that seems to have gone somewhere else other than her ears.  Know others just like her and that is a story that keep repeating itself over and over again.  Cock and bull stories that I am suppose to believe. Said it many times before - I may not be the sharpest stick in the bundle but I am not the dullest either.  It is they who are the dullest for it is always about them and no other and that is how they justify their actions. How do you justify your actions?  Just asking and not looking for an answer for that answer is for you and not me.  Done that question over and over again already with myself and I ain't afraid to keep asking it of myself. 

Now Gord - Facebook.  Understand one thing first- it but a fad and if a new format came along tomorrow and was heralded as the greatest thing since sliced cheese most, if not all, would get on board and Facebook would go it's way into history.  The way most people are and I know it. So knowing this I use it because I can reach many people I know but also know how I must watch my step.  Here on Blogger I do my thing and do it my way with no fear or regrets as to what I say.  The only thing missing here is inspiration for one does not want to do something for nothing and especially if it is not for 'me'.  I do get some inspiration from Facebook and I do realize that it is selective but inspiration all the same and so I go there first now instead of here. Well one does have to go where there is water and they are thirsty. Then I also don't know if anyone even reads this blog anymore and so who am I writing to?   Don't need to write to myself , I do that all the time. 

I guess this enough for this go, go where is it going anyway?

No I Didn't...

die or blow away.  been ding 'My Thing' on Facebook.   I do like Blogger better but it seems to be a dead end street.  Been at it for some six years and where am I today - nowhere really or so it seems. Time I realized what I do and did here is of no interest and so why flog that old dead horse?   Seen it coming; knew it was coming for who really wants to get involved?  Not just here on Blogger but all around me.  Bitch and moan, whine and curse but what is worse is why.  Why bother bitching, moaning and whining if one is not going to do something about it?  Looks so futile to me.

I wonder if it is because most think that one cannot change that which goes on around them. Yes, I hear that often.  BUT, but the point is being missed.  We have to understand that the only thing we can change is ME.  I cannot change the world nor one person I know but I can work on me ( I have) and in doing so I can live with what goes on around me but that is not to say I don't get angry about what I see.  Learned to live with what happens today and give but little thought for tomorrow for I am ready to deal with that when it comes. As with what I do here tonight - no plans to do so, just do it because it came to me. Living in the moment as they are apt to say. Yes, Blogger was not on my mind at all today or even in the past days. Yet here I am writing things as they come to me as if I were writing for someone else. Could it be?   Could it be of a mind to think that such things could happen? 

Another thought I have here tonight ( morning really) is why I say more here on Blogger than I do on Facebook?  Could it be that I feel freer here and that I have to wonder about those I do know on Facebook?   I know most of them well on Facebook and so in that knowing know for the most part where what I say will go.  Know how long lasting their interests are and what they want or do not want to hear.  Say state of affairs but I do see see and know it.

Not passing any sort of blame or shame here for it is the way of things. Just look at the news reports - big stuff today but nothing tomorrow. Like it just all went away. It didn't but one would feel it did as it goes. Wouldn't it be nice if all our problems could be handled this way unfortunately it is still big news to us. Wouldn't it be nice tho?

Of course you know that the politicians and their likes know this and so they get away with what they do.  It's why they can walk around with their noses to the sir as if nothing happened at all.  You think they don't see us as fools?  Think again. Unfortunately we have learned to do it to ourselves. So sad and too bad and away we go.  Move on as if nothing happened at all.  Must be something to be able to be like that.  Yes oh yes that all about 'me' I keep going on about.  I confront it everyday in the people around me. Guess I am the only one that has worked on myself  for I cannot go that way.  Not a great environment I live in but live in it I must and so no monkey be me and I go my own way.  It's not easy but something I will now never concede.  They have told me all my life that I must believe in something and so now I have and that something is me.  It's the only thing that I can have control of and have a trust in and so the way to go.  Used to spread out from that but was let down so many times that I now stand back from it all.  Do my own thing and sing my own song. Not the way I need it to be but what can one do when they are branded?  So much anger in the world today and I know why and so I fight it.  My own little world and one to share but I see no reason to.  BUT then again maybe I am but then there are no ears to hear or eyes to see.  Then again maybe I am just looking for something to add to my believing.  I don't know.  Can someone tell me?

Jon B'y

Well?

Hi Folks,

What's everyone up to?   Wherever you are and whoever you are I hope you are doing alright.  If not I wish I could help.  I do mean that.  Nothing gets me down any more than to see a sad face or one hanging low.  Not always a mood I am in and that doesn't sit well with me.  I know why but frustration can do that to you at times.

Went to a seminar this day and saw and learned many things.  Saw the hypocrisy of those I work with; saw the disrespect we all go on about but did they see it?  No, not at all.  Brought it up a few times but what ears heard?  If but one it would have been alright but I fear there were none.  Some of my c0-workers didn't even show up. Took a freebie day even though we were told we had to be there. I wonder who these people think they are that they could steal a day?  Well they did.  They got paid for being there but instead stayed home.  Some came and 'checked' in and then went home early.  Have to think this is some kind of theft.  Is it not?  Employers do not pay you to stay home.  Getting a little tired of pointing out such things to them. They don't listen but oh how they go on about how unfair things are to them.  I stopped shaking my head for fear that it would fall off.  You see, folks, we get a good pay and we get benefits others would die for and we get all the holidays off and these people whine and go on  and abuse what we have.  I know what I say here for many years I worked at another job that saw what those who do what I do now and what they worked for.  Many of them took on two jobs just to get the same pay but not the benefits.  How many times have I pointed this out to those I work with today and yet the whining continues.  Don't ask me why I keep telling them so because I don't know anymore.  Excuse me here, but I seem to be just pissing into the wind.

Not just work either because I take it beyond that into everyday life and all the same, always the same - no one listening.  I know  - too bad and so sad but that is just a 'cop-out' and so don't run that one by me.  How often I hear such a line and don't wonder why anymore why we are in the mess we are in.  Think it's time to take responsibility for our actions and own up to it or we will hear more and more about the 45 gun that we hear so much about today and that goodbye.  What we need is some good open-minded dialogue and less blame and excuse.  They say that truth will set one free but how many will take the chance on that?  Not many I do see. So I quote:

" The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear."  - Herbert Agar. 

Now ain't that the truth.  Not just men either for in that both man and woman are equal. Truth sets one free cause with it you are never lonely.  Something about real truth that finds no loneliness in the heart and soul. Don't take my word for it - try it. 

Another evening saying something that wasn't on my mind but say it I did anyway.  Someone or something on my wavelength. For me to say and so I go with it and damn the torpedoes. Truth puts me there and folks, I like it and how good it feels to know such freedom. 

I think now I will indulge myself in some music and do some YouTube. I said what I said, for whatever reasons, for my topic here was about what people won't or don't listen to. I will listen to the music and learn what I will learn for I will listen. 

Have some pictures here , taken on a dull evening but all the same I saw things.

Later,
JB

Back At It

 
 
I suppose this is not the right time but then when is the right time? Mother's day and the thoughts of what happened here this week. I refer to the incident this week when a young fifteen year old girl who took an axe to, (I believe it was) her mother and almost killed her. It was said (in the papers) that they feuded often. A sad tale. A tale often heard. Many people have their opinions as to this girl and what they should do to her. I would ask if this what we really should be

doing? Would it not be better to try to find out why she did it; try to understand the problem(s) and work them out? Below is something that came to me or was given to me back in 2007. I posted it on my blog for it was to pass on. I will do so again here today. I believe it is something we should all think about. I hope you do.

Make It So

There are some who talk
Some who listen
But don't you know
There's something missing

A two-way street
We must find
A way to relate
We must opine

We must state
What's on our minds
What we think
We are different kinds

In the end
We open up
We say our piece
Then raise the cup

In doing so
We do learn
We join our thoughts
With no concern

Yes it is
A way to grow
Find middle ground
Make it so

As I said , this came or was given to me for I ain't no poet or any such thing. I do , however, pay attention to what people say, how they act and of course from experience. One doesn't have to take a university or college course to learn such things. Just an open mind, a caring and a need to learn more about life and what it is. Lets put our axes away and try communicating in a more trustful and honest way with the understanding that, " we are different kinds." Something this world so sorely lacks.

So you mothers ( fathers too) maybe this is something to pass on to your children. Can't hurt.
