Friends opinions are valueable, having outside perspectives and different point of view. A person outside the sandbox can sometimes see how messy things are. Its important to realize that their opinions will have their thoughts, feelings, and justifcations rolled up in it.

They can usually only offer advice with an attached tag line saying, this is how I think things should be or this is what is right for me so anyone who shares their point of view is also probably right. But, even when two people agree its hard to determine to what degree. All takes time and effort.

So, advice from friends gets me though tough times. It helps me figure things out. Some time a neutral ear lets you figure things out for yourself. But, their opinion is not yours, nor is it the person your having issues with. When taking advice or re-analizing your point, don't lose track of the essence of who you are.

My Thoughts My Opinions

Lately I've given a little more thought to religion and faith.
Meeting people with different opinions, reading articles, and analysing my own filters.

Conclusion:
Atheists, catholics, and all other religiously opinionated groups are
all religious factions fighting to be free from the prosecutions of the other groups and obtain power.

All are easily discredit, by examples of members of their groups doing wrong.
No one allows each group the privilege of not being perfect but still being right.

My conclusion, without a spirit, we are by definition simply flesh and bone. We are not good, bad, or evil. No purpose to our existence and no more moral or valuable then cottage cheese.

History demonstrates that man kind is weak minded and selfish. Science is mathematical. Belief in the common good, is selfish preservation. I believe we are weak, but instinctively good. There fore created my something good. Not simply a scientific combination of factors with unrealistic odds of happening.

Fear is the only real detractor from living life.
Being nervous about a wonderland ride may stop you from experiencing it.
Sometimes you need a guiding hand. Thinking about the what ifs, only stops you from
experiencing the thrill. Concentrating on every past ride accident does nothing but increase the fear and remove logic. So much so that you freak. Over analyze the negatives and cause irrational decisions and conversations.

Asking the conductor to make unnecessary changes to the ride, even though they have already made it perfect for you. You get to a point that you don't know what is reasonable and what isn't, in terms of a request.

Logic helps you make good decisions, fear destroys. I love the ride I'm on.
Fear gets in the way of the most logical of men. The conductor has given me everything I need or want. But from time to time, fear gets the better of me.
Some call it a self preservation tool, I think its taking its toll on the structure of the ride itself. Luckily my conductor is very brave. And I will always love her.

Independence in a relationship is only possible if you are allowed to be independent.

Independence is a gift your partner gives you. Not allowing yourself to be compromised or give up to much of yourself, that you are no longer you, is not possible without permission. Simply because in a real relationship with someone you love, their happiness is where your happiness lives.

This should be a gift to each other.

Shit Happens.
But if you allow yourself to think, shit will happen.
You will prepare for shit to happen.
Subconsciously, causing shit to happen.

If you choose not to accept that shit will happen, it
is likely less shit will happen.

So, in your mind does shit happen?
Adulthood is determined by how you answer question.

Sometimes all it takes is a little nudge to remind you of why you do things. Thanks Sj from across the pond.

Sretlif, They control us. They twist and warp our thoughts emotions and actions.
They control our lives. I'm a slave to mine and only now after thirty-two years on this planet do I realize how much.

Anyone, that is used to reading my blog, you'll have to excuse me for the platform has temporarily changed.

I am currently fighting back and doing so has taught me how deep rooted is the nemises.
Loved ones continously attact you, oblivious to there own actions.

You can't trust yourself. I'm set on auto self destruct mode and watching it as it happens wondering why can't I stop. Sretlif, probably branded before I could walk, now stop me from running. Which is all I want to do, but its pointless for where ever I go they will follow.

The new battle has begun. The battle for my life. The battle for the essience of who I am.
May god have mercy on my soul. May I take back this imposter that inhabits my mind.

I’m going to tell you all a little story. It may not have the literary flair of many posts I’ve come across on these blogs. Although it will be a true account of actions and events occurring within a 24hr period.

This Friday I’ll be leaving to Cuba for a week. One of these all inclusive type deals.
I’m looking forward to it, as I have never done this before. It will also the first time
I am traveling will friends. No family members and no significant other.
Not to mention, last 6 months have been pretty stressful.

A quick prelude to this 24hrs period is the matter of taking the time off at work.
It was a real pain. I had to find 2 people to cover my responsibilities. In one
case 3 levels of supervisor had to allow my counter part to help cover me even after he agreed. And finally it took 4 phone calls in one afternoon for my manager to give me the ok and at the same time there were only 3 rooms left at the resort, which could have been snagged at any time. This paragraph is just here is give you an impression of the difficulty I had to be able to go to begin with.

So, Monday night I’m going for coffee with a friend on the way there an accident happens 2 cars ahead of me. The car in front of me hits the breaks and I do the same. I catch a piece of black ice and slid 10 feet before stopping. When I get to coffee I recount the event to my friend with the after thought that, and this is a quote, “I’ve got the feeling something is going to happen to screw up my trip.”

The very next day, less then 13 hours after my comment I get into a car accident not 1km from the coffee shop. My rear bumper is toast, $700 damage. The one good thing is it wasn’t my fault and no one got hurt. This was on Tuesday afternoon around 2pm.

That evening, I played ultimate Frisbee. Didn’t really feel like playing which is unusual for me. Speaking to a friend as I’m driving there, her advice was just don’t play today.
While there our team had a few fill in players. During the game one of our regular players wasn’t looking too pleased. He is usually of good temperament so when asked what was up, he stated the fill in player he was partnered with wasn’t subbing off and there fore he wasn’t getting a lot of playing time.

Word for word I asked him to talk my spot. I said, “Listen don’t worry about it.
I’m going to Cuba in 3 days and the last thing I want to do is get hurt before my trip.”
Now I’ve been playing for years and never got seriously hurt before. This statement was in jest but it was said. He said, “No no you take your turn” and I went on the field.
It wasn’t 5 minutes before I was on the ground rolling over in pain with serious twisted ankle. It blow up to at least twice its normal size and the next day I had to get a x-rays to verify that it wasn’t broken.

In summary, ( WTF ). Mind over matter, bad luck, karma, self fulfilling prophecy, needless to say it wasn’t a great day, but the two predictions are uncanny. I don’t believe in anything mythical controlling events around me, except maybe biblically. I’m pretty much a stuff happens kinda guy. But the facts in this story forces me to wonder.
So does anyone else have stories that may question logic?

2 tier health system is not Canadian. We all know that anyone who is well off can can fly and pay for any procedure in other parts of the world with no wait time. But in this nation we do not treat ppl based on their income.

If no one in politics, business, or anyone who earns a half decent wage used the public health system. Who would lobby to maintain it and improve it as the years past.

Why would good doctors stay in the public system when they could make so much more in the private system?

We would end up with a system that is not well maintained and serviced by young, goodhearted, or bad doctors.

Regardless of what politician promises, once it is done. It can not be undone no matter how bad it gets.

This will probably be the only time I ever post twice in one day.
And its a sad day for I have heard throught the grape vine we have
lost two fellow bloggers. I will miss your comments and input, both
pro-found and intelligent.

With cross pollination of people happening all over the glob eventually there will come
a time when race is no longer distinguishable by sight. I predict the end of
racism. Looks like people will soon be forced to get to know the individual before
deciding they don't like them. Or perhaps humans will come up with a new way to
decide who they hate, size of pinky finger perhaps.

Considering cancer, world famine, nuclear war, and bills you would think I would be able to keep everything else in perspective. Yet for all my logic and patients there are times when people just push my buttons. Emotion is a double edged sword. I hope one day to have total control of
patiences and fustration. As idealistic as that sounds, if I get there, I don't think I would be me anymore.

I'm not an expert on religions. So I will assume that all Christian religions believe in the 10 commandments. There for, thaw shall not kill is one of them. There for anyone who
agrees with the death sentence given to Sadam Hussein is not in agreement with this
commandment. Since the American government relies on the Christian voters for support
to stay in office should this decision be shunned.

I am not in agreement with his actions, but this does not negate the previous statement.

As a side questions, how many innocent people have to be killed for the leaders of the troops to be liable for their deaths? Hiroshima

When having an causal discussion.
Why is it common place to quote someone with credentials that had or has the same option as yourself?

Removing science and math from the conversation, or any absolute proven truth, not that there are many, why can't a statement be analyzed by its own merit if it’s a personal opinion or social commentary. Without stating "and in the words of", for we all know if one expert says one thing you can easily find another that says the opposite.

Most people ( personal opinion ) demonstrates a strong outer shell to
the world. Regardless of their true thoughts. Is this a sign of weakness or
strength? I would say weakness. The stronger the shell the weaker the
person. Yet, no shell intimidates people. How strange.

Personally, I'm still trying to figure out how thick my shell is?
How thick is yours?

Can men and women truly be friends. I used to think so. Now not so sure.
Is it just to complicated. If anyone actually reads this what do you think?

Men and women are not equal!!!!
There are differences biologically, emotionally, and physically. Some men have what is more traditionally feminine characteristics and vis versa. But, over all were not the same.
We are just like any other animal. Its too bad were not mature enough
to embrace and respect our differences instead of all trying to be the Alpha male (even the women).

If the majority agrees on a view point then society accepts it
and makes it just. Racism before the 60's, Hitler's Germany, and
bell bottom jeans are examples of one time accepted behaviors.

Currently cloning, stem cells, etc are on the debate table.
So is anything inherently good or bad or is majority rules our
only guiding principle.

Without a belief system a.k.a religion, is anything truly
good or bad

Politics, policital buggets, tax laws, etc...
Are complicated, so the common man or women usually doesn't have the time to
investigate the truth. or Are they made complicated because common man or woman
usually don't have the time to investigate the true.
