			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love Philleas Fogg, Meridians, Space Sciences, Concepts of Time (like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time" target="_blank">Time&#8217;s Arrow</a> the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%27s_Arrow_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29" target="_blank">Time&#8217;s Arrow star trek episode</a> wasn&#8217;t that bad either) and albeit somewhat pseudo-science philosophical concepts of physics such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocausality" target="_blank">reverse-causality</a>, and all that time-based Dr. Who jazz.   Unfortunately, this article is very un-Dr.Whoesque and quite bland.  But nevertheless, the DST thign was something I wanted to scrutinize upon tinkering with some awesome desktop clock gadgets and wanted to make sure the nuances of time zones and how <a href="http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.co.uk/what-is-gmt.htm" target="_blank">GMT </a>is perpetually free from the daylight-savings insanity, was lucid.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s useful for me to frame things in temporal to London.  Chicago is always LondonTime -6 (because during this DST period, London is UTC+1)  In Spring to Fall, Chicago is London Time (BST) -6, only  because all clocks are moved forward.  And in Fall to Spring, London is GMT/UTC/Zulu And Chicago is that- 6 (because the London time goes &#8220;back&#8221; to normal), but of course so does every other timezone (Chicago goes back to GMT-6, Sydney to GMT+9, and so on.  During DST it&#8217;s a headache a +1 gets added to all those London GMT+1, Chicagy GMT-5, Sydney GMT+10).   Fall to Spring (non-daylight savings time) LondonTime (Chicago time being, now (BST) -6), and now London Time coincides with GMT.  I reckon it&#8217;s a good clarification and also headache that GMT timezone DST fluctuations never occur; zulu is always UTC.  In other words, right now, it&#8217;s BST 11:02am, CST 5:02am, and GMT 10:02am.  So it&#8217;s annoying that half the year all time zones deviate in their relationship to GMT.  London is GMT+1 or GMT, New York is GMT-4 or GMT-5, Chicago is GMT-5 or GMT-6 (in respective DaylightSavings and Non-DayLightSavings Months, respectively).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s interesting to note that time and time zones are mere derivatives of man-made sentience placed (or sort of dumped, rather) on longitudes.  And then again, longitudes are geographical trigonometric man-made units of measurement as well.<span id="more-2258"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Benjamin Franklin first suggested Daylight Saving Time in 1784, but it was not until World War I, in 1916, when it was adopted by several counties in Europe that initially rejected the idea.&#8221; &#8212; Timeanddate.com</p></blockquote>
<p>I agree with Europe; DST should have bloody been initially rejected (and remained rejected haha).  The additional fact that some countries don&#8217;t even practice DST and that the exact date that countries shift their clocks deviates from country to country is indicative of an incredibly outdated and messy time-telling system that adds to this gear-grinding headache. <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst2010b.html " target="_blank"> Take a look at this page </a>to see what I mean about this lunacy.  (Also, is that really the situation?  It takes all countries literally 3 months to make the clock changes?  Am I misinterpreting this?? Jeepers! Dang.  That&#8217;s realy messed up, if that&#8217;s the case!)  From August 5, 2010 at 2100 in Egypt to November 7, 2010 at 1100 in the United States clocks jump forward or jump back an hour depending on their location in the hemisphere and on the globe.  The fact that of the DST activation of deactivations occurs over the span of OVER three months (EVERY YEAR!) is preposterous!  It&#8217;s amazing anything gets done on time!  It&#8217;s a massively confusing headahce really.  I understand the hemisphere thing.  Northern clocks jump back and Sothern hemisphere clocks jump forward in the Fall/Autumn.  Great and understandable because of the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth, but why in all bloody hell would their be non-synchronized clock changes, so that every country just &#8220;in their own time&#8221; over the span of 3 months (!) all the changes finally get made?  Why not just on a set day, say October 15, and March 15, make the corresponding hemisphere-based DST changes?  That would be so much simpler!  And maybe the reason for not doing that could be some country-based geosdesic trigonemetric reason, but frankly, that should be corrected for and people shouldn&#8217;t have to be literally astronomical rocket scientists and physicists (unless they want to be and I certainly dont&#8217; have a problem with those fields at all!) to accurately no one DST commences and terminates.</p>
<p>In many ways, I would almost prefer to tell time by distance, like &#8220;it&#8217;s 10.2km before the sun&#8217;s horizon passes because that&#8217;s what ultimately time is, just a measurement based on the earth&#8217;s revolution. The fact there&#8217;s man-made &#8220;zones&#8221; based on longitudinal man-made geographical equally-spaced measurement, based on the sphere of the earth, isn&#8217;t helped by an additional hour adjustment annually each spring.  Anything that articulates the fact that we&#8217;re on a gigantic spinning sphere I am all for.  Anything that seems to detract from that fact, (and indeed I think the multi-layered usage of meridians and timezones does detract from the fact that we&#8217;re on an orbitting (and revolving) sphere) is detrimental to understanding proper scientific sentiency.  Good <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">TIMES</span></strong>!!  (hahaha pun unquestionably intended, and something I would&#8217;ve said anyways).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s  the Translations of the fields of study that I eliminated to their present and future and these may likely slightly fluctuate but meh.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve evolved my past 5 studies to more uplifting, validating, clarifying studies.  The transduction are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Psychology &#8212;&gt; Video Games!  Simply the opposite of psychology. Instead of imprisoning one self with self-dialogue &#8220;snares&#8221; , actually just doing things in a game or real world.  Escaping prison of mind.  This one&#8217;s complex and I fully don&#8217;t understand it honestly, but it&#8217;s something along the lines of gamers are a community, they&#8217;re a niche (or &#8220;we&#8221; are a niche really).  We help each other out.  Friends are the best shrinks, psychologists, coaches in teh world and better. So gamers are friends, thus gaming (via the community of gamers) eclipses psychology completely, replacing it with something progressive, fun, cooperative, exciting as, and full of tons of free expression within the uplifting confines of a great game.  There&#8217;s room for passion and interacting but always the forward-moving, measurable progression in game.  Both those (the progress and passion) create massive clarity and peace.  This sounds a bit &#8220;zen huey-looey&#8221; but hey, I reckon I take gaming seriously.  I&#8217;m serious enough about it and the gaming community to recognize that hte best &#8220;therapy&#8221; one could ever provide or receive occured with mates!  Heck, I even consoled a mate about his dad&#8217;s cancer on vent once!  Bloody hell! I don&#8217;t expect gaming community to be that intense, but video games are moving in the right direction: involved, not paralyzed behind a 4th wall, and not to mention fun and structured.  Most of all, I LIKE video games!  I get charged with a group of gamers cooperatively working together in a player verse player basis to meet a goal that can only be ascertained with such cooperation!  Rockin&#8217; good time!</li>
<li>Computers &#8212;&gt;  Neuroscience and Mnemonics and NLP and a few &#8220;conditionals&#8221; to conduct social interactions.  Utilizing the mind with it&#8217;s far-more-advanced technology than a computer as if it were a computer that&#8217;s always with you! Mnemonics has been a massively reoccurring interest in my life.  I studied it extensively after returning from my trip in the Mexico Yucatan in 2002.  I had the lobes of the brain on my desktop throughout college (this is also because my computer(s) basically are my brain(s) haha!), and NLP can create some aligning visualizations and NLP is great for anti-persuasion, so I only make choices that are keyed in with what I want and need not because someone else is effective at sales or persuading me off center.  NLP has some interesting hypnosis trance stuff which I may be trying to avoid but at least learning about it is effective.  The computer science moving towards social behavior deserves some explanation.  In fact all of these transmutations, uncertainly deserve more explanation, but hey, one step at a time.  Using computer science for social conditionals would mean setting up, for example, and if statement so that:
<ul>
<li>if (xyz_conditional) {</li>
<li>do_abc_expression;</li>
<li>}</li>
<li>which would conduct and organize my social interactions producing more flow, greater ease, heightened simplicity, and less anxiety because it&#8217;s all &#8220;programmed&#8221;!  This could be imprisoning in once sense, but when you&#8217;re constantly worried about what to say or do, this creates a very stabilizing ease.  Excellent!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Drama        &#8212;&gt; Music, namely classical, and Math.  ufoMathematical, auditory, some music has &#8220;performance&#8221; but is so much more precise, it makes drama look like sludge.  A comparison I think would be a commercial is to drama as a great feature film i to music.  That aside, some talented performers are very musical in their performance even if labeled &#8220;drama&#8221;.  Drama, especially with Eric Berne&#8217;s &#8220;drama triangles&#8221; with social &#8220;transactions&#8221; is the exact rubbish that I am moving away from.  Perpetually hold the adult title and discard the time-consuming and confusing states of stagnation and stuckness that produce quagmires of social confusion.  Math and classical music are the respective left and right brains of crispness and clarity. Quality times.</li>
<li>English       &#8212;-&gt; Voice work.  Not stuck trapped communicating through keyboard-pecking and expressing self though voice but WITH the structured composition learned from writing is marvelous and unquestionably an advancement.  I just spent about an hour photographing for digital archive, my book&#8230;that I wrote&#8230;that was basically notes on self-help book rubbish&#8230;and (it was called Validate Your Life) and get this utter blithering insanity&#8230;I actually took notes and highlights and bloody MARGIN comments on my own book!  So I photo-scanned all that in and put all the crumpled paper in a bag to burn, discard or just rummage through for remembering of how pathetically stuck my life was in the past withe self-help rubbish and religion infecting my thoughts! Math, anatomy, games, all of these new transmutations have revealed to me that illusion spell I was under in writing that self-help rubbish which was just regurgitated self-help rubbish I had previously read.</li>
<li>Politics        &#8212;&gt; Honesty and Journal-writing and Sharing!  Additionally possibly aquatic, swimming workouts, health.   The antithesis of politics.  My goal is not to be invulnerable, but vulnerability makes you incredibly solid and strong and connected.  To quote an unsophisticated source, Ferguson says &#8220;if you&#8217;re honest, you&#8217;re bullet-proof&#8221;.  I&#8217;m interested imperfection.  Conveying my faults, my problems, my confusions, my anxieties.  That&#8217;s being real for me and that leaves politics in a pathetic useless mangled dusty pile of rubbish.  Journaling and sharing that is clarity.  Also I know a lot of aquatic fun is tied in with these transmutations.  Maybe swimming and aquatic snorkeling and whatnot would be the antithesis of politics because there&#8217;s absolutely no red-tape (assuming you&#8217;re allowed to swim where you can) and there&#8217;s no political sticky rubbish.</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-2244"></span></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know which category this belongs to but I&#8217;m at the tail end of migrating all of my belongings to computerized format.  So that I review material possessions namely in thousands of photographs I have of places visited, pottery made, old board games, and the like.  Massively convenient and congruent with simplicity and mobility.  Jolly good to that!</p>
<p>Nature and Wilderness has always been an ongoing interest.  The intelligence of Nature is stuff that poets ramble on about yada-yada&#8230;I like Nature because there&#8217;s so much math in it.  Fibonacci in leaf formations and petals, the incredibly intricate electrical &#8220;wiring&#8221; and indeed &#8220;voltages&#8221; of an organisms nervous system.  Fantastic stuff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8212;  September 12, 2009 &#8212; 3:49 AM DISCOVERED PARKOUR. LOOKS Sooooooooooooo RAd. Agility, Gymnatisc, alacrity, intelligence, obstacle overcoming,  Running RAD RAD RAD!!!!!!   French terminology. bRiLLIANt.    It&#8217;s agility. ALL my favorite video games.  prince of persia all the games are like free running and parkour.  The French terminolgy is brilliant. this is an intelligent discipline.  It requires TREMENDOUS finesse.  It&#8217;s fun, it requires massive planning and problem solving.  This would be GREAT something to train for.  Training &#8220;for women&#8221; is REALLY gay, retarded, and falalcious (because you&#8217;ll end up a pissed angry stupid person).  Training for parkour would be excellent and great.  I REALLY like this because of the mental and physical discipline (present in things like jeet kun do) BUT also it&#8217;s non combative and all about physical and mental personal development.  It&#8217;s non-competitive which is briliatn and I love the french language directly infused iwth parkour.  I REALLY like that.  awesome.  Awesome on so many levels &#8212; physically, linguistically, intellectually.  brilliant aND it&#8217;s (of course) big in uk and europe. this is awesome.  This is an inspiration to train.  I&#8217;ve had a lot of training for it with all my swimming, my marathons, my biking, my martial arts, my surfing&#8230;yeah.    This aligned with and congruent with the following pre-existing interests: French language Rogue Agility class gymnastics lightness mental and physical discipline GENUINE (not bullshit tony robbings) personal development overcoming obstacles problem-solving Spatial Awareness dance. looking at urban terrain not as place to be cuibcle rat, but as a playground. health closest thing to video game as rl   Thus it is VERY moving forward.</p>

(this needs serious work organizing but the Electric Agenda: Reclaiming Ownership of your Temporality   is DEFINITELY PRINCIPLE that I MUST ABIDE BY!!!!! YES!!!)</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I recently saw the Fantastic, utterly incredible movie </span><em><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In Bruges</span></em><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">.  It was incredible because of the Irish component, great acting, fantastic direction from McDonough, Ferrel was A+ and his exchange with Gleeson (all three Irish dudes, mind you) was beautiful and humorous rapport)&#8230;.BUT but but! But the most prominently cool and awesome part of the the movie was it&#8217;s seriousnesss and incredible depth!  That movie was deep!  And it had a reoccurringly profound theme of the necessity of abiding to principles.  I won&#8217;t give away the shocking ending, because you don&#8217;t want to spoil anything, but the relationship with allegiance to principles was an extremely strong message.  If you&#8217;ve seen the movie you know the concept of &#8220;principles&#8221; definitely defines the shape of the path the characters have in the movie.  Actually in the movie, disastrous things occurred because people were obdurate with sticking with principles.  So the actual message of the movie was kind: &#8220;You have to look very closely at detail to apply a potentially good principle effectively.&#8221;  But the whole brew-haha about got me thinking about how everyone has these upper-level, high-level principles and beliefs.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">So that&#8217;s what this Validate Your Life &#8220;Linguistic Code&#8221; ebook is about :  Defining Principles that install the changes you want to occur and the freedom you want to experience.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-2116"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<p style="margin: 0px;">
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What happens when you don&#8217;t abide by these principles?  What happens when you don&#8217;t take these principles as life or death truths that you must follow?  What happens when you fail to take these principles as a biological necessity for life?  You fail in the game of life.  You experience failure upon failure.  You experience the complete absence of success.  You get hurt &#8212; emotionally and physically.  You become overwhelmed.  Bottom line (are we getting the point yet? These are important!) Bottom-line: You don&#8217;t survive without implementing these principles!<br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I went into Shell station the other day.  I had an agenda.  to send a package that I had sold.  I did not want to chat with a person.  I don&#8217;t like the people that work in shell station.  I have no interest in continuing to waste my time with them.  And this woman asks me ALL these questions!! It was REALLY annoying.  Why are people so rude and obnoxious and hideously atrotiously intrusive to me?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I asked her about the boxes and she blurted out &#8220;I Told you the options!!&#8221; and She had NOT given me the prices of the individual boxes, which was hte information I sought.  I also wanted to know and see the different types of boxes.  SHE&#8217;s the loser who get paid to work at the post office, she HAS to show me that information.  But she didn&#8217;t and she invades my privacy.  She had hte audacity to ask:<br />
Did you Sell this on ebay?<br />
And I said, &#8220;Yes, but people also sell things on craigslist.&#8221;<br />
How much did you pay for it?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Nosy<br />
good<br />
halt her attempt be intrusive</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">And I drew the line there.  I don&#8217;t want to tell her that information! How dare she be so intrusitv.e  I didn&#8217;t even want to have a conversation in the first place!!!!!  And she&#8217;s asking how how and where and for how much I sold something.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">(it was gummy bearS)</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Then she tells me: &#8220;Someone in my house gave me gummy bears.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">WTF?!! She&#8217;s purposefully trying to confuse me.  So vague.  Someone just walked into her house and gave her gummy bears??? IT&#8217;s like these people are trying to coach e and 1)THEY SUCK AT COACHING (atrotious) and 2)I DON&#8221;T WANT THEIR COACHING b/C IT&#8217;S DESRUCTIVE!!!</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">So I go: &#8220;Who gave you gummy bears in your hosue? Someone you live with?  Someone just walked up to your house and gave you gummy bears?&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">and she mumbled something and then said &#8220;He&#8217;s a Trucker&#8221;.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">And I thought WHO is a fucking trucker? Why the fuck should I care if a trucker somehow (in relation to her or not) walks into her house and gives her fucking gummy bears.  That person is not me.  I am not a trucker.  I felt like saying that because I felt like she was trying to frame me as some trucker.  And I most certainly AM NOT.  I am a scientist!  most definitely.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">So then she goes: &#8220;I am from nepal&#8221; And she all points to herself like she&#8217;s flustered like I was confused a bout somethign and she goes &#8220;I am from nepal.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I think Why the fuck should I care? but I say: &#8220;Have you done any climbing?&#8221; Just very nice.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">And she goes &#8220;I KNEW you were going to ask that&#8221; and she implied: &#8220;your boring your trite&#8221; WTF So far All I&#8217;ve tried to do is mail a package and this OBNOXIOUS TERRIBLE atrotious slimy unfahtomably obtrusive woman has kind of framed me insultingly as a trucker (an insult), intruded into my financial affairs, and implied that I&#8217;m hackneyed.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">And I didnt&#8217; even get to see the package costs and she declared &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to help you!&#8221; when I was getting package prices but she iddn&#8217;t provide ANY prices!!!</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Then she mentiones : &#8220;I got fat from eating gummy bears.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">and Then I quickly say : &#8220;I used to eat like 60 pounds of gummy bears and sour gummy snacks. and it didn&#8217;t make me fat. but it was an addiction I didnt&#8217; want so I stpped it.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">and then she implies: &#8220;Oh well IT DID make me fat.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I asked her if she&#8217;d climbed everest and she said no. And I mentioned climbing pikes peak and she said: &#8220;That&#8217;d be good!&#8221;  And she implied that I should climb everest????!! WTF?!! I wanted to spent $5 and send a package and NOT have a conversation and I have this obnocious woman telling me&#8230;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">See all this garbage that pops up.  This is why I&#8217;m afraid to go outside SERIOUSLY. This is what happened in an exchange where all I wanted was to pay without talking with a perosn.  I DID NOT want to say a word with that person!!  I&#8217;m not getting paid to coach her!! And this is what she did:<br />
she implied:<br />
&#8220;your boring your trite&#8221;<br />
was insultingly framed me insultingly as a trucker (an insult)<br />
was confused by her bringing up the ODD phrase (someone in my house gave me gummy bears)<br />
the privacy of my financial affairs was invaded<br />
I ws indirectly inulsted as being hackneyed (I knew you were going to ask that question)<br />
I was &#8220;forced into coaching&#8221; by her mentioning &#8220;I got fat from the gummy bears&#8221; she can bring that up in a coachign session but not when I&#8217;m ON MY TIME.<br />
implied that I hsould climb everest.  I have ZERO interst in climbing everest! I Do not want to climb everest.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Comedy clubs don&#8217;t let me have an open mic.  So I can&#8217;t turn this into a comedy bit.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">but It DOES impede me.  PEOPLE DO treat me obnoxiously!!!!!! I REALLY DISLIKE IT here in america in the ghetto of los angeles.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">and then she implied<br />
So I need to a way to mute people or get out of america.  I had those festering disgusting slime-ball women. and they are NOT all women, just usually very young, stupid, uneducated women</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">And this is like Tony Robbins.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">AnD ALL ALL I wanted to do was Go into mail a package. I DON&#8221;T wan&#8217;t fucking dramma.  I have ZERO interest 0% interest in the shell station person.  But All that happens (See above) if I go to mail a package. THAT&#8217;S WHY I&#8217;M AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE.  Because people</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I need to go apathetic.  I operate on a wavelenght of natural compassion (that has become destructive and draining wherby people exploit me and I won&#8217;t stand for it) so going apathetic for ME will put me the level of most people. Great!</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Why do people trample on me?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">A theory.  They recognize me as someone who has been exploited and continue to do that.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">They recognize me as someone who USED to give out free lifecoaching so they try to apply their</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I really dislike americans.  Most americans especially the one&#8217;s in the foul ghetto squalor HELLHOLE of los angeles are manipulative wankers.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px;">I&#8217;ll be frank, upfront, highly direct, and incredibly honest: I used to be royally <em>atrotious</em> with using my time effectively. I would visit friends, overstay my welcome, become disgruntled about staying too long, hit on a woman, have some freaky belligerant and pugnacious Iraqi neanderthal thug almost try to beat me up&#8230;.okay what a rant.  I have MYRIAD examples of the negative consequences (from feeling overwhelmed, confused, and abused to get physically beat up from arguments nad fighting) ALL because I stayed longer than I wanted to stay at a given time.</p>

<p>Sure there&#8217;s a few rare incidents of them attacking humans</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0px initial initial;" title="sharkbite" src="http://www.underwatertimes.com/news2/shark_bite_wound_andrea_lynch.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="387" /></p>
<p>but the same is true of lightning</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://205.243.100.155/frames/human_LF2.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="250" /></p>
<p>and lightning strikes are actually more frequent than shark bites.  If Spielberg had created <em>Zappers</em> instead of <em>Jaws</em>, about how frequently people get struck and killed by lightning would there be a greater fear irrational fear of the atmospheric discharge of electricity and indifference to our cartilaginous friends?  I think so.</p>
<p>Sharks are beautiful.<span id="more-841"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="hammerhead" src="http://www.cairochronicles.com/kaddee/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hammerhead-shark.jpg" alt="" width="282" height="194" /></p>
<p>And the belief that they&#8217;re man-eating, devouring, aquatic killing machines is a purely irrational fear.</p>
<p>Not too much to say here.  Rob Stewart says it all.  I&#8217;m a huge fan, benefactor, philanthropist, afficionado, and exited knowledge learner of sharks.  They&#8217;re endangered.  The shouldn&#8217;t be.  Spielberg&#8217;s <em>Jaws</em> started irrational fear.  I&#8217;ve said that message to many a people, but Rob Stewart says it with incredible clarity.  His message is important!</p>

<p>Carradine&#8217;s death and Heath&#8217;s death in early 2008 (both suicides) shows that actors are unhappy.  They need and are lost and confused.  I&#8217;m 100% convinced that the reaons for following film and studying acting for a bit was to eventually Coach actors in areas of fulfilment and health and performance and meaning.  It&#8217;s simple.  Actor&#8217;s have a lot of money and little happiness.  I have a lot of happiness and little money.  I can teach the happiness; they can give me the money.  Both parties happy.  <img src='http://blog.validateyourlife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> !!</p>
<p>This makes you realize that Hollywood is truly just a massive Cult of Marketing and ploys nad disillusionment tied in with the media to create the illusion of the &#8220;glory of fame and stardom&#8221; etc.  Well Hollywood went down the tubes.  Seriously.  I&#8217;ve been living 20 miles west of &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; the past year and the place is like a vacant ghost town when I visit it (seriously).  Additionally, the silver screen pictures and that whole era from a sales/business point of view is completely wasted and gone.  Youtube, private casts, internet &#8220;films&#8221; are now reality.  So the Cultu of Hollywood is slowly dying.</p>
<p>Boy has my thought evolved rapidly the past years!! Only three years ago I was fascinated with and enthralled by actors.  Now, after discovering some truly clear thinking rocking bodacious people (DB, Dawkins, etc).  I&#8217;ve realized, sure, some actors may be genuinely cool, great people, but their profession is the biggest kind of cult disillusionment mass hypnosis possible.  Tahts&#8217; why so many off themselves because their profession is so warped and disillusioned and they&#8217;re a servant for &#8220;product placement&#8221; in the films!  They likely have very little sense of self after playing characters and roles for many years of their life.</p>
<p>Coaching is the opposite of that.  I spend YEARS of my life writing books on discovering exactly what I want to know and who I want to be and I discover that!  I was interested in spirituality and when I was, it was exciting but various things (prosetylizatio in Costa Rica on multiple occasion, reading up on cults and witnessing identical similarities between cults and major religions etc) emerged and I evolved out of that.  Now science and atheism are rivetting.  TRULY rivetting.  But the truth of the matter is.  They&#8217;ve ALWAYS been rivetting! I&#8217;ve ALWAYS been this nerdy, scientific atheist.  I watch home videos of me as a kid and I see that and know that.  &#8220;Devout Atheism&#8221; (:D) is what&#8217;s true for me.  Kiekegaard says &#8220;I must find a truth that&#8217;s true for me&#8221;.  Well, soren, I did just that and it&#8217;s refreshing and incredibly MASSIVELY empowering!! Wow. So empowering to honor my genuine LOVE for science!   Three kinds of symbiotic relationships, Stomata on plants, cellular respiration I love that high-tech jargon and better yet the fact that it&#8217;s linked to real things in nature.  But physics is like some of the most absolute truths of all tied in with the precision of math.  I&#8217;m very interested in physics especially. Sweet!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Dear Governor Schwarzenneger,</p>
<p>(From John Thomas &#8220;Kooz&#8221; Kuczmarski)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a strong believer that the purpose of a city should serve Nature. Nature &#8212; wildlife, animals, we homo sapiens ARE Nature &#8212; should be the intention of anything municipal, or city-based. Therefore the idea of actually closing beaches, closing a way for humans to enjoy nature (the ocean and beaches) would be undermining the very purpose of a city.</p>
<p>Do you really think people will stand for not being able to access beaches? Have you any idea how ludicrous that sounds?</p>
<p>I think anyone who believes eliminating parks-nature-Beach funding for the purpose of redirecting those funds to something non-Nature-based needs to re-evaluate their mission, don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>If the significance of Nature (the oxygen we breath from the botanical plants of parks) and the body of water that keeps us alive (planet earth ecologically could not survive if it were not for it being covered with over 70% water) is eclipsed, all is lost for EARTH and humans. This sounds extreme and that&#8217;s because it is. If anything, funding needs to be redirected to opening MORE beaches and parks to remind us homo sapiens that we are just highly-evolved primates, elements of nature and truly do deserve to connect with Nature readily and frequently.</p>
<p>I think one problem with American government is that it HAS too much funding!! IT has so much funding that it redirects it&#8217;s energies, finances, and time away from the absolute necessities (nature, oxygen, planetary perpetuation and survival).</p>
<p><span id="more-810"></span></p>
<p>What would be the result of this situation? What would the HUMAN RACE look like couped up in offices and buildings withotu access to Nature (our origin). To euphemistically refer to the chaos, inhuman treatment, loss of identity, uncertainty of values, drop in wholistic health, and slow disintegration of the third planet from the sun &#8212; Bad things would occur to our planet and humans.</p>
<p>Closing parks is analogous to saying &#8220;we dont&#8217; need to focus on nature, on beaches, on the very oxygen we breath &#8211; the most fundamental survival necessity of us humans, mind you&#8221; And that is indirectly saying &#8220;it&#8217;s okay for people to suffocate and die&#8221;. I wont&#8217; go as far as saying that choosing to close beaches is identical to some kind of asphixiation concentration camp &#8212; because that would be extreme &#8212; but I think the analogy does exist there in some form.</p>
<p>For the Health of Homo Sapiens (and other flora and fauna on the planet), I urge you to make the decision to NOT close the beaches and to instead maybe apply funding to actually creating more (instead of less) of an awareness of the Significance of the health of our planet. The Pacific Trash Vortex, for example&#8230;.that&#8217;s something more people need to be aware of, in order to stop trash accumulation in the oceans. We&#8217;re failing as a species, dumping trash into the ocean?! No other species does that.</p>
<p>The very LEAST we can do is keep beaches and parks open to ensure that the deteriorating of our most vital resource &#8212; OUR PLANET &#8212; does not continue.</p>
<p>And we do not possess the earth. The earth does not possess us either (for we can take flight into space and leave earth), but homo sapiens MUST have a MUTUALISTIC relationsihp with the earth and we are failing because The relationship of homo sapiens and Earth has become PARASITIC. We are feeding off and hurting the ecology or our own home (earth) and not giving back. A commensualistic Symbiosis would be better than the Parististic symbiosis that humans currently have with our planet. We Should be having a mutalistic symbiosis but are in fact, having the complete opposite of that.</p>
<p>So again, I urge you, could you try to elevate our already-suffering relationship with the planet from parasitistic to (at the very leaast) commensualistic symbiosis, and direct funds towards cultivating attention TOWARD the necessity of beaches and parks, not away from them?!!!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>&#8211; Johnt Thomas &#8220;Kooz&#8221; Kuczmarski</p></blockquote>

</div>
<p></center><br />just woke up, just water, wore black (Great), no food, no coffee before, energizing awesome convo. good. I saw a darren brown and david tennant clip (for darren&#8217;s tv show) and I relized that they went out into public to have a woman draw a picture and david was supposed to have predicted what she&#8217;d draw, but the interesting thing was how it almost seemed like david and darren were competing for the woman&#8217;s attention to impress her! LOL these two HUGE awesome dudes and names (darren brown and david tennant) with huge massively successful careers, were almost primarily focused on this woman&#8217;s attention.  I mean i have a ton of respet for david, but my reverence for darren (he&#8217;s just so gnalry) is off the charts, so seeing both these two extraordinary guys doing very unextraordiariny stuff (trying to impress a woman and have<br />vulnerability in that &#8212; or maybe that is extraoridinary too!! ;D) was an eye-opener.</p>
<p>I mean Tennant is THE Dr. Who! How much more cool and successful and impressive is that from a sci-fi POV.  And Darren&#8230;.well that guy&#8217;s just unfathomably cool and he represents the apex of all the skills in which I have been and currently training.  So DB just operates on this unimaginably awesoem level of success.  But so here were these two amazingly successful people whom I have massive respect for, doing something very common and normal &#8212; kind of &#8220;flirting with a woman&#8221;!! <img src='http://blog.validateyourlife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />   These guys were just doing what any normal guy would do &#8212; flirting with this woman!  I mean I guess I figured at some level of success I erroneously thought you wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about those htings (flirting, courtship, etc) but while I&#8217;m sure those guys don&#8217;t worry about them, they still DO them.  Romance is alive for every person regardless of their level of success.  In many ways I htink romance is kind of the common denominator that makes someone&#8217;s career or their image etc, operate from a baseline: yeah we are all human, we all have human emotions.  Cool!  But it was something to which I could relate.  I could only look up to their careers &#8212; wow, db&#8217;s nlp skills insane! etc &#8212; but when I saw them flirting with this woman, I was like &#8220;Hey!! Hey!  Hey, I&#8217;m on the same level with them in that regard at least!!&#8221; <img src='http://blog.validateyourlife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span id="more-797"></span></p>
<p>Realized that whatever level of success, romance and intimacy is still something that&#8217;s very alive for people! And it just seemed these hugely massively successful careers, it&#8217;s like that success got whittled down to just courtship, trying to impress, having a lot going for the sake of romance.  VERY interesting.  I guess the main insight was if I look at david and darren&#8217;s careers, they seem pretty amazingly impenetrable successful, like intangible success like invulnerable success!  But then when I saw them almost in this teasing, trying to impress mode, it made their careers a lot more connected and real and something that I could relate to! very cool!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First off I noticed that the ICA Coaching Process Diagram resembles Joseph Campbell&#8217;s Hero of a Thousand Faces 12-phases of the heroic Journey.  Joseph campbell is an author of mythology and kind of mythological dissection.  He went back and scrutinized myriad myths and plugging in some Jungian archetypes extracting some archetypes, he extracted these 12 stages that occur in almost every myth be it 1970s star wars or a 500 bc folktale.  And the phases involve a departure, encountering obstacles, tests, helpers, return, seizing the elixir and others.  so the coaching process resembles the heroic journey that a client will go through and experience!</p>
<p>The most fascinating connection I saw was that in 1998 I made an abstract self-portrait that strongly resembles the ICA coaching process! Except that mine utilizes more color, which I like.  I have a confusion, dark cloud on the left side which is where the client starts &#8212; from confusion, muddled doubt, fear, and its a rough, grey-black textured part of the abstract canvas.  Then there&#8217;s an up and down energy line which reflect the heroic journey and the end result is this warm smooth, red and yellow chunk that represents the achievement, the kindness and love.  ST. Ambrose said, &#8220;Faith is in the beginning and love is in the end.&#8221; On my coaching journey process, Love is truly the the end result of the coaching and the energy-heroic line has greens, reds, blues, and many colors of change.  What&#8217;s interesting is that instead of pillars I have 3 slivers of red and yellow surrounding the main sphere (the client&#8217;s core and their compassionate reservoir which always stays the same and contains their infinite potential). Those slivers represent passion, love, and joy that are ALWAYS with hte client throughout the entire journey!! Unlike the pillar where they&#8217;d go through the truth-telling and listening phases and then a questioning phase, my model of coaching (that I painted 11 years ago) has these empowering qualities ALWAYS with the client throughout the entire journey that they can and should and do draw upon!!</p>
<p>So the Beginning of my client process starts at &#8220;muddled confusion and doubt and fear&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-796"></span></p>
<p>The Goal: is emergence into passion, warmth, and kindness.</p>
<p>Towards then experience of achieving the ultimate conclusion, the client typically has &#8220;the nascence of new ideas and new conclusions and journeys&#8221; but it doest get slightly steeper, but only because the achievement of this coaching process will be all the more fulfilling! </p>
<p>Additionally, my coaching model resembles the Dalai Lama&#8217;s ever-increasing path of happiness, indicating that &#8220;yes&#8221; there are &#8220;peaks and valleys&#8221; in the achievement of that goal-process, however, the subsequent valleys (challenges) decrease in difficulty while the peaks (high points) exponentially increase in pleasure and success and total happiness!</p>
<p>And in my &#8220;canvas of the client process&#8221;.  there is a define starting &#8220;texture&#8221; (rough, complex, fearful) and ending texture (smooth, like rolling pastures of warmth and sucess and freedom).</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s fascinating.  I&#8217;ve been coneptualizing coaching and my coaching proces for 11 years.  Since 1998 when I first designed my abstract portrait.  That portrai will become my coaching model and my logo.  Additionally 11 years ago was when I embarked on doing many free association techniques and stepping into and eliminating fear and ultimately expanding and empowering the truly infinite nature of my life.  Everything I&#8217;ve done since then, since I embarked on my coaching journey 11 years ago, be it living in teh jungle or writing over half a dozen books, or over 300 articles, journeying ot costa rica, peru, europe, my computer science work, or running marathons,  or experience and exploring soemtiems frightening or different parts of the world and the life experience&#8230;ALL of that has been part of my journey as a human becoming a coach.  So that warmth or reds and yellows of passion and clarity is coaching for me, and I&#8217;m there, I&#8217;ve arrived!!!!!</p>
<p>So this is what I&#8217;ve devoted my life to (the past 11 years) into making myself the best coach I could possible be.  Now for the next 12 years of my life, I will be getting paid to help clients maximize their own potential personally and professionally, just as I have coached myself to do (and have had literally tens of thousands of othe coaches, coach me in the process).  So this is exciting and galvanizing!</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m massively stoked to have you depart from fear, doubt, and bumpy uncertainty, go through your own heroic journey, and then ultimately experience your pastures of smooth success and richly colored happienss!!!!! <img src='http://blog.validateyourlife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So not only have I been training as a coach for the past 12 years (really I started the portrait in 1997), but I have developing my own model for the client&#8217;s heroic journey during coaching!!</p>
<p>And EVERYTHING &#8212; from Campbell&#8217;s mythological heroicisms, to nlp training, to personal experiences &#8212; has been moving towards more clarity for my coaching process!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve bene coaching for free for 12 years and it&#8217;s been TERRIFIC!! Now i&#8217;m infusing affordable payment packages into my coaching so in addition to doing what I love, I will get paid to coach now too! Great! That will is terrific as well!</p>

<p>I seriously thought the reporter was acting. how could she be so serious and controlling and almost hostilely reprimanding?? wtf?!!! lol. have people become so foully political that a good party is severely scolded? WHERE the hell do you have raging good parties where you can be LOUD (and everyone&#8217;s safe, all good stuff, etc.) did people forget how <span class="text_exposed_hide">&#8230;  <span class="text_exposed_link"><a onclick="'CSS.addClass($(">Read More</a></span></span><span class="text_exposed_show">important actually having fun is? Is everyone like this? Where are the people who embrace the occasionally extremely lively party?!! IF there&#8217;s so much time for hush hush, there has to be time for loud, uproarious good solid awesome parties too! <img src='http://blog.validateyourlife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  lol.</p>
<p>Sure, doing this every night would be too much simply because people couldn&#8217;t sleep.  So a little discretion there, but really, it&#8217;s something that should be heralded in many respects.</p>
<p></span>While calling this kid a savior, may be a teeny bit far-fetched, he&#8217;s damn close to it! Due to conformity, fear, lack of identity, and subversion into politics, people have completely forgotten and neglected the meaning and the act of a good party. I thought the parents and the reporters were seriously &#8220;actors&#8221; because their reactions (shock and outrage) appeared so unnecessarily inflated. haha<span class="text_exposed_hide">&#8230;  <span class="text_exposed_link"><a onclick="'CSS.addClass($(">Read More</a></span></span><span class="text_exposed_show">!! Thank god there still exists people like corey in the world who choose to listen to their inner voice and their own &#8220;iron string&#8221; instead slipping into delusions of what you&#8217;re supposed to do. This kid is a walking example of Emersonian self-reliance. Long live aussie corey!! haha! Self-reliance!</p>
<p><span id="more-758"></span></p>
<p></span>The kid&#8217;s so frickin funny! haha lol. he&#8217;s so good at pissing people off and simultaneously having like amounts fun worth being jealous over haha!! I love it, people seem to perpetually stumble and tiptoe around on eggshells these days, and this kid just like sledge hammers them!! so outrageous!</p>
<p>I mean seriously..no one died, no one was injured, the intentions were for a party, a spirited congregation for togetherness&#8230;like the media has become so revoltingly clogged with negative news, catastrophes (fires, murders, trials, blah) that when something actually in good spirits (a party) accumulates enough critical mass to catch the eye of the media, the media ALWAYS has this compulsion to frame things in a negative destructive light. Not only is denouncing this kid&#8217;s party as bad, wrong, or &#8220;out of line&#8221; destructive, but condemning and negatively framing spirited gatherings like this show negatively warped, myopic and clouded many of the status quo beliefs have become &#8212; people are so maladjusted to fires, murders, &#8220;negative news&#8221; that news of people actually converging for a purpose of merriment and recreation, appalls people!; and THAT is appalling! haha.</p>

Batman&#8217;s troubles over his dead parents, Ironman&#8217;s drinking problems, Maxwell Smart&#8217;s stupidity and bumbling, all those flaws make their great deeds identifiably humanly heroic.  Cool stuff.  Otherwise they&#8217;re just mythological!</p>
<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s awesome.  Superheroes who are perfect without flawed are just myth.  The stories of Neptune and Jupiter from Ancient Rome  helped  Romans  understand their mysterious world and answer some of the  questions  that could only be answered with scientific breakthroughs  millenias to come.  Same goes for the Zeus, Posieden, Athena stories from greece.  Those mythologies  embodied flawless, &#8220;inhuman heros&#8221;.  A star contrast from the very human and flawed, but exceptionally heroic  characters in many of todays films.</p>
<p>Maybe we have re-invented  mythology into a global flawed mythological superhuman superhero.  The kind that is a little bit closer to us than Zeus on Mount Olympia, or Neptune beneath the sea.  Modern culture has crafted &#8220;gods&#8221; (superheros) that blends the myth into our reality because we recognize elements of each of us in the our 21st century heroes.<span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class="on" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"><img src="img/gl.link.gif" alt="Link" border="0" /></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In his famous book, “Future Shock”, Alvin Toffler wrote, “Society is a wave.  The wave move onwards, but the water of which it is composed does not”.  In other words society is warped; something about it isn’t natural, it isn’t right.  Waves cross thousands of miles of open ocean fetch expanse, carrying water from storms on the other side of the globe.  That’s what waves do; they carry water.  The societal wave does not do that.  It is a mutant “wave” of stagnant immobility. It’s a distorted entity that has forgotten its core roots.  Society has forgotten it’s heritage.</p>
<p>Society is merely progeny of culture.  Culture is infinite, while societal is constructed, man-made, materialized. In short, society is finite.  When you think of society you think of restrictions and permissions of what you can do and what you can do based on the amount of prizes you’ve “earned”.  Of course you don’t earn the prizes in any way different than a preschooler earns a gold star by coloring in the lines.  Culture, carrying myths and stories and history from the end of time, is boundless.  Society is a hierarchy with no personal history.  Joe Schmoe and Abraham Lincoln carry as much importance in humanity in culture; for they are both humans that lived.  In society, however, Joe Schmoe’s life &#8212; his challenges, accomplishments, trials and tribulations &#8212; go unacknowledged.  Society, therefore, is the naive child of the grander scripture, culture.  Society is various parts and linearly components that myopically function together.  The stories, myths, traditions, and heritages compose parts integral to culture, but together, the cultural components create a gestalt.  Society blandly constructs parts to complete a whole, while the infinite culture is the grand picture, synergistically larger than the original painting.</p>
<p>By the way, if these words irk you, dear reader, then read on, for these truisms exist for you.  They exist not to rile your bile, but to stew you to eschew that vacant grasp on what many call “society”.</p>
<p>An essential component of of all societal citizens is to forget their culture ancestry.  People living in society have abandoned their roots for the sake of finite prizes, titles, bureaucratic shenanigans.  Society thrives under the veil of false necessity.  Citizens become deluded into thinking they need society, when all they need, all their intrinsically interact with is culture. Society is the maya, the illusion, concealing the infinite boundaryless culture.  Why has this sham perpetuated?  Simple, society awards prizes (titles, honors, prestige, which lead to new finite game titles) to those who perpetuate the veil of society.  We’re made to believe that the president of a corporation, or president of a country, or some grand Nobel award is something worthy of a life devotion.  In reality, such belief &#8212; devoting your life to a relationship with society &#8212; is about as pragmatic trying to shake hands with a shadow; you’re left with nothing but emptiness.</p>
<p><span id="more-666"></span></p>
<p>“Anyone can participate in culture &#8212; at anywhere and at any time.”  (Carse 43).  The fragile, teetering mesh of immigration paperwork, the visas, the greencards, the documentation, the redtape all prohibit and complicate society.  Society, therefore, is an in-egalitarian club &#8212; and a cheesy club at that.  Society can exclude and preclude at the drop of a hat, or more precisely, with the flicker of a pen.   Culture, on the other hand, has that indelible acceptance intrinsically woven into it’s artistic fabric.  The only thing culture prohibits is prohibitions! </p>
<p>“The rules of a finite game may change &#8212; the rules of an infinite game must change.” (Carse)  Therefore, we must learn to create certainties with our life, and then assure ourselves that we must not demur, for everything has that mutability.  The wise, therefore, only holds one single certainty: that nothing has certainty.</p>
<p>Now Einstein seems to have anti-parrellel contradictions to the deceptive nature of society because he says “Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to society.” However, despite his greatness, his expansive and inhumanly creative intellect, and his mathematical genius, I think our dear originator of relativity was in err.  He meant to say, ““Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to culture.”  After all, Einstein did not invent his paradigmatic creations and write his world changing papers for the German Society, for his “fuhrerland”. Nah, he wrote, quite literally, universal theories for the culture of mankind.  In fact, when many criticized him for the destruction over Hiroshima, he overtly exclaimed that the Manhattan project was an atrocity.  Still, fellow theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking, said that blaming Einstein for the atom bomb would be like blaming “Newton for the gravity that causes airplanes to crash. Einstein took no part in the Manhattan Project and was horrified by the explosion.”   Being versed in the universal language of mathematics, Einstein was a cultural genius of physics, mathematics, and space-time discovery. He didn’t apply his advanced mind for society; societies bomb and destroy each other in their finite games.  Culture is expansive and universal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>True love, that genuine rare art form, is ultimately psychotic.  Learn to love the wild.  Embrace the rifts, tides, and currents of that change.  Create your unknown and then live to understand your reality.  Truth is subjective; discover your own wisdom and comprehend the desires of your intrinsic beauty.  This should function as a wake-up call for all your music.  No more snooze or booze; time to use your capacity for that rhythmic sagacity.</p>
