Pure Imagination

What we are now witnessing in the United States is lack of Imagination. When a child is born he or she is filled with so much imagination. The dreams that have been fulfilled by just believing in your imagination are endless. Many people are unaware how powerful the imagination is. Great inventions have been made possible simply by using the imagination. Great things are made possible when a person's imagination comes to life. When a kid imagines that he will one day become a superhero with great powers and strength. This child eventually becomes what he or she believes they are. 

In the year 2525

In the year 2525 will our world look anything like it does now? These guys are sounding pretty accurate in this song. Oh yeah... special thanks to Zager and Evans for the nice tunes. With the advancement in genome detection and cracking of the DNA code things have already started to take off. If you were able to know that your child would be born with defects that could hinder his/her quality of living what would you do? 

Would you clone yourself for the fun of it?

Would people act ethical with these advancements in science and technology or head down the old Dr. Frankenstein road? 

Will these advancements eventually cause our on demise?

I hope traveling gets a lot easier. I am willing to dedicate my own time and money to improving that. 
No more tires please! Stop it! enough already. Hey.... can you blame me. I just want instant gratification. 
And besides every guy wants to play the James Bond, Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne role every once in a while.
We have seen fast now lets see hover or flight like George Jetson.

Will you soon be able to watch your lost episodes of breaking bad on Hologram TV.... Holy exploding Meth Labs Batman!

Okay Okay!!! Back to the topic. Will we be able to travel like Dr. Who? I wonder.... That would be too cool. Will we end world hunger or start deleting the masses? Ethics! Will those in power seek to be God like or take on a more equivalent humanistic approach? These are serious questions that need to be answered.  

Will women decide to breed on their own? Yikes! don't wanna think about that one. Will people really end up becoming enemies of the state a la Will Smith? shhhhh.....lol I know the answer. Hey guys! Its just fun and games. That was for my NSA buddies. Gotta make'm feel at home. Okay they are at home. In your home. lol!!! Jokes Jokes I'm insane. Okay! shall we proceed. 

Governments do need to maintain control to keep things civil but to what extent.

Will people began to compromise more and more of their rights and privileges for miscellaneous insecurities or the boogie man. 

Will elections still be the way to get things done in the future?

Will life expectancy increase and people just start hanging around like they have discovered the fountain of youth? I'm talking 150-180 years old hell... 200+. I mean grandpa and grandma still hanging at the club getting tatted up. Smh! 

Will languages become obsolete? Okay it already is. I will just translate you. Okay there you have it. Universal language.

And for  all my ET fans out there. You really might wanna tone down the alien talk. See here is the thing... We might end up getting visited by something and we really might not like what we see. We might not even get a chance to see it. That quick. Yeah..... that quick.....Just relax and enjoy your time with all the crazy animals out there including us. Lol!

Will our world look more like this?

Elysium 

The Wizard Of OZ Or Not

THE MIGHTY WIZARD OF OZ!

The great and powerful wizard

We are off to see the wizard. The wonderful wizard. Really!

This is one of my favorite examples to use when motivating people to shoot for the stars. There is always a little guy pulling the strings hiding behind a big fake voice and a bunch of absent minded followers. My advice is simple. Stop following. You already have a heart. You already have the courage and the brains. That is what's going on in this country. Couple that with a bunch of wicked witches spoiling the hopes and dreams of many. But, remember there is no place like home. Take pride in your home. Don't get disappointed by what you find behind the curtain. It seems that we are all looking for some magical conjure or some kind of miracle. We feel that we need some sort of validation from someone or something. The truth is that the magic lye's within you. It is just waiting to come out.Ordinary people are extraordinary people with a great amount of determination. The wicked witches will try to take you off of the yellow brick road. But, you will not be deterred. You have everything that you need inside of you and it's been there ever since you were born. By understanding this and thinking in a positive manner you can achieve amazing things. When you are being tested to see if you have what it takes remember this little passage and say I think I can. Oops! That's the little engine that could. I meant, "there's no place like home". And don't forget to click your heels together three times. 

To have privacy or not to have privacy

To Have Privacy Or Not To

Update: Oct. 14 2013

The more we learn about the severity of the far reaching NSA probe the scarier it gets. What in the hell is going on here! We are literally having arguments on whether its good or bad to spy on Americans. How can this be determined and what happens to our constitutional rights in the process. Every American should be very concerned about this issue no matter who you are. I get very concerned when abuse can occur due to irresponsible employees of these agencies that could open up a Pandora Box full of problems.

Speaking of abuse... What happens when things start to look a a lot like Enemy Of The State starring: Will Smith

Take a look

Here is the full link

Well...to be honest people. We never had privacy. We have always been monitored. Look at our history books and you find that these programs have been going on for along time. Now you might say.... How is this all possible? Easy my friend! All they have to do is consider you a threat to national security or simple abuse the powers that they have to monitor you. It is definitely possible and it has been going on for quite a while. I mean,.... since Hoover. You know that guy right! Lately there has been such an uproar about the NSA and the access to U.S. citizens private records.

Do you feel like you should have the right to privacy?

Do you feel offended by Snowden being a whistle-blower?

Is Snowden a hero?

True privacy has always been a controversial issue and will continue to be in the future.

Hopefully we will still have some rights in tact. lol!

Why are we settling for mediocrity?

Why are we settling for mediocrity?

There was a time when a man/woman stood for something. Had a set principles, morals, and goals. We were innovators and not perpetrators, leaders and not followers. What happen to the greatness? Great, bold, and unique thinkers. Men/Women who knew the extra mile had to be traveled, and that it just came we the territory.

We need to push much harder than our forefathers and their forefathers. Stop the oppression of ideas and start with the creativity and innovation that made this country a model for others. Let's get away from the negativity and hate that has crippled and toppled regimes before us.

We need to focus on the greatness and not the doom and gloom. This is not just a pep talk, it is necessary for the survival of the human family. Notice that race was not included nor was it necessary. Stop riding on tires and let's start hovering over the ground, besides its 2013.

What are great men/women made of ? Answer:  Strength, determination, inspiration, and guts.

Stop letting these crappy jobs keep you in a rut people. Start making moves that count for something. Start redefining things for the better. Become job creators! people need places to work and this is a great place to began making an impact. Stop being sheep and become bold innovative leaders. Stop holding yourself and others down. If you can't be a leader at least be a good follower.

Why is our infrastructure in our U.S. cities starting to fall apart. Have we stopped focusing on quality? Why are cities becoming run down? This should not be happening in a great country like ours. We need to get off our butts and do something about it!

What defines a man?

 What Defines A Man?

Very basic question right? Wrong. Recently, this has become a growing and pressing issue in our society. With the independence of women and more men coming out as bisexuals . The role of a man has come into question. Some might say this is not a big deal. You be the judge. Remember a time when men were proud to be men. Now it just seems like men more than ever are questioning there roles in society. This is very scary, but it's a growing trend.

It's time that men reflect on what defines them. Men seem to be having a hard time fitting in nowadays. This might seem funny to some, but it's not to those that are struggling to have an identity in our society.
Men need to get back to the basics. What makes you feel good about being a man and respect the answer you give to yourself. Is it the football game you watch on Sundays? Or is it the baseball game you attend with your son. Is it the beer you have with your buddies. Whatever it is, you enjoy that feeling. Let's get back comfortable in our own skin's and roles that we assume.Let's get back to being macho. Let's get back to the things that made you feel great about being a provider and raising your son's to be men. Don't be afraid of being masculine. The sad truth is that our society is moving away from masculinity and leaving us looking like ancient dinosaurs. This might sound hilarious to some but it is so true. Let's look around. What do you see?

Red Tape

                 Red Tape

 Why is there so much red tape? It's suppose to be getting easier to do things with technology. Why is it so hard to start a business? Why is getting good customer service so hard? Why does Congress have a hard time doing anything? Why is something as simple as getting your car repaired wrapped with red tape. Calling customer support is a nightmare. LOL! Red Tape. Voting is supposed to be simple. Nope, just more Red Tape. I am sick and tired of the Red Tape. Filing your taxes is supposed to be simple. Ah ha! More Red Tape. This is just my opinion, and others might see it differently. What's your opinion?

I want to open up an account at local bank. Uh ohhh!!!  more red tape. You would think this would be one of the most simple things to do in the world. Think again. The bank has hidden fees. Fees for almost every little transaction. If you are like me you work hard for your money and don't appreciate people or banks pinching off your bottom line. Hey people you got start paying attention to these banks and their crappy little fees.  More red tape to make your life miserable.

OOoohhh!!! and don't get a traffic ticket in a small town. This can end up being a real disaster. This small town might not be tech savvy enough, so that you can make your payments over the phone or online. Yes! in 2013 you still can not get them the payment without mailing it to them. And the nerve of these people to put crazy unrealistic deadlines on these tickets. lol! There ought to be a law against this mess.   

Lesson: Always perform a check on your license to make sure you are up to date. If you do happen to get a ticket in a small town make arrangements to pay this ticket immediately. I mean asap!! 

Here is my customer service nightmare. I know y'all been waiting for this one. This would piss off the most devote christian. I purchased a printer from Best Buy at the end of 2011. It was a Kodak. Yeah I'm calling you out Kodak. lol! I did lot's of research on this product. I was very confident in my decision when I purchased this product. Please don't laugh. I hear the snickering. LOL! Okay Okay!!! This printer had to work for at least 12 months before tapping out. Meanwhile my older Canon continues to print with no problem. I know you are gonna ask was it under warranty. And you know that I am gonna tell you no. lol! Im pissed!

So of course I call customer support and get my friend from India, who claims that his name is Jimmy. lol! yeah right! I know this hustle from the very beginning. Jimmy informs me after reading his script that the product which is the printer head is not under warranty. If that was not insult to injury Jimmy informs me that I would have to pay for a new printer head and two new cartridges of ink that I just purchased from Office Depot. 

People! why in the hell would I buy another thing from these guys. Who makes a printer that can't survive past a year. You would think that this company would be so embarrassed that their product malfunctioned that they would ship me a new printer head and two cartridges immediately. You would think that this company would apologize for my inconvenience and ask me to stay brand loyal and explain that this is not what their company is about. But noooooo! These guys decided to kick me when I was down.
