I just never use this blog.... probably partially because no one is ever going to find it and enjoy it... but I think mainly because for some unknown reason my whole blogging spree is out of me..................... I used to just type what's on my mind and I usually have a lot on my mind... But I guess when there are people in your life to listen it's not so important anymore.
it's almost as if our Individualized societies have this diary/blogging/journal thing more than collectives due to the fact that we are social creatures and were never meant to be individualized..
Points of view, "politiks", revolutionary technologies... basically anything goes

All the new posts I added on the 7th of October
I have recently added all the old notes I had on the website known as "facebook" that were written as blog entries.
I hope that anyone who reads this blog also takes the time to view the "October 7" section as there is a lot of variety.
I apologize for the rather "emo" like blog entries that were my first two entries. As of right now my priority is NOT so much to add new posts as it is to get my blog out into the digi-world and to add photos.
I HOPE PEOPLE ENJOY THIS!!!!!!!! It will get better and I promise, I can promise because I am a perfectionist.

If we didn't have money... we'd be living in a world where everyone drives their own custom concept cars
Check this out.. this is how Money fails at being progressive:The FBI pays it's informants (anyone who gives information to the FBI deemed useful to them gets paid). Problem here? Much. This motivates people to just simply lie about things.. or not even lie. But if a person who disagrees with another person's views reports that other person than they can be considered a threat... either way, it means that monetary interests are behind "fighting terrorism" and so the problem is not getting dealt with.
Interesting point: Terrorism wouldn't exist if money didn't.
This is because ALL "terrorism" cases are actually normal citizens choosing to revolt, usually violently, although we are now seeing rising cases of apparent "nonviolent terrorism" with the FBI raiding the homes of peace activists. Anyways, people only revolt when their needs are not met.. thus capitalism is causing their sorrows and, naturally, capitalism breeds terrorism.
Now how does this tie into a moneyless world where everyone drives their own custom made vehicles that look like concept cars?
Simple
Without money's ability to blind people about where things come from and how the world is affected by consumption... people would be required to operate off of "Resource-based economy" using resources only when needed. When you have an "economy" that give to those who need it most.... you get a LOT of left over stuff. Therefore you have extra.. this is called "Abundance." And then the next stage sets in..
Without money you NEED a "Gift Economy".. that means you NEED to share and sharing is the single-most effective means of humans existing... Although this idea is hardly a new idea, it is very difficult for U.S. Americans to grasp.
Factories would not operate like factories.. they would operate like websites.. the "consumer" using them whenever they wish, the resources and operations being readily accessible. They can custom design anything they want, the computer system will fill in all the hard bits.. the computer system being designed by other factories of course and by the people who build these things. All these "factories" are environmental friendly and produce only devices and goods that are either biodegradable or 100% recyclable.
There would be no reason to buy things... You just have things.. ownership would not exist.. sharing is essential.
You're car can be fast, and it can be free, and it will consume no energy resources whatsoever because it creates its own energy with its own kinetic energy.
You would have whatever you like... even though you would see in this society that people often don't care about material things since they get enough of it... they care about people and each other.
If only....

What the future of the "United" States of America may look like
In the Future... the nation commonly referred to as "America" will be known as "The States of America" as it's nickname.
What will this SOA look like?
It will be missing a very large chunk of it's upper Northwest and Pacific Coast. This territory would be known as The Republic of Cascadia. See here: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_(independence_movement)#Boundaries)
There shall possibly be a large missing chunk of the midwest missing.. as the Lakotah people form their own independence inside the states of Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. Republic of Lakotah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Lakotah
Vermont may be it's own country. Its Middlebury Institute has hosted the First North American Secessionist Convention. The institute has dedicated its studies to secession, separatism, and self-determination. Vermont would be known as The Second Republic of Vermont http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vermont_Republic
Texas is a state who's membership in the Union has a contract agreement.. it goes a little like what this guy said
"Regarding secession of a state, there is a theory about how Texas could “secede” from the United States. In the agreement with the U.S. when it became a state Texas has the right, through a vote, to divide into five separate states. It’s theorized that if this was to happen it would be challenged in the courts by the U. S., making it to the Supreme Court. It’s then theorized that they would not allow Texas to become five states, because it would give them so many seats in the Senate (ten versus two). Therefore the Supreme Court would have to deny this, which would then nullify and void the agreement that brought Texas into the union. This would allow Texas a separate nation."

If the State succeeded at this it would be known as (obviously) The Republic of Texas.
Hawaiians would protest the illegal annexation of their Republic to the Union and perhaps win.

Although no movements or actions have been recorded, The North Star Republic is an organization centered in Minneapolis, MN and advocates the idea of a socialist republic secession of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Northern Peninsula of Michigan.

Along with the far left, there is the far right. The League of the South is another organization going along with the rejuvenation of the Confederacy. Considering the cultural canyon between the South and most other states.. this is a possibility. Although this group is considered a hate-group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

California could become the first state to successfully secede. As the 7th largest economy in the world (if California was considered an independent country) and plans already under the Pentagon's table for "how to deal with a Southern Californian military rebellion" there is a realistic possibility of secession. (I got that last fact from a Popular Mechanics magazine)
Combining the The California Republic with the The Republic of Cascadia.. you will notice that the entire Pacific Coast is no longer in the hands of the "New United States of America."
The Republic of Cascadia is a transnational movement which means it involves both secession from the United States AND Canada. The best way to implement this would be to secede from each country independently, then merge afterwards.
There will be a large hole in the center the United States. This is the The Republic of Lakotah.
Texas will either be partitioned into five new states, each with two seats in the Senate, giving the whole "State" a very large amount of voting power, or it will be its own independent Republic of Texas.
Not too far off would be the missing states of the Great Lakes. The economically powerful State of Minnesota combined with the welfare state of Wisconsin and the rich and exotic Northern Peninsula, are all gone from the Union in their own North Star Republic.
If the Southern states aren't missing from the map, then they are rogue states who are only "Officially" part of the United States, otherwise completely governing themselves, possibly even rejecting Federal funding.
Closer to homebase is Vermont and a possible joining of all of New England in the movement towards secession. Their liberal culture wasn't suitable for the empire.
Remembering that Hawaii is missing completes the picture.. an oddly compiled mess of the new United States. With The Cascadia Republic so close to the Lakotah republic, and bordering the California Republic, The North Star Republic only a few hundred miles from the Lakotah Republic and having waterway access to Canada, and with California's already high traffic with Hawaii, it is well foreseeable that these independent nations not only COULD exist, but that they could exist in prosperity. With the people of these regions already displaying their interests in medium scale ways.. such a futurist's predictions are well assumed.
The questions remain, will these places ever take root? Are there other republics looming in people's minds all throughout modern-day USA that are just waiting for the perfect day? How will the District of Colombia-government take all this?
No question of possibility can be answered without experience.

Magic
Magic is poetry that is written not with ink, but instead with the very elements of life and experience.
Life works in mysterious ways, like magic. Once one understands what magic is, through poetry and spirituality, underlying structure in chaos, and sociology, one can make life work in mysterious ways. It is that creative plan that one has the potential to develop that gives life the meaning that we all seek to discover and experience.
Luck is the chance of positive or negative influences on one's life. To declare luck as superstition is to declare that Sociology is false, which is untrue. Luck exists as the definition of being the accidental happenings of one's life due to the influence of the environment and other people. In this respect we, as human beings on this planet, are constantly experiencing luck, although most luck could be "classified" as neutral luck that yields no significant changes in our lives. Because luck is so closely associated with Sociology and the larger philosophy of Spirituality (what I am referring to is the co-dependency of all life and non-life systems) luck is also dependent on the path that nature follows. This means that positive (beneficial) energies (energy can be light, electricity, or patterns of these energies, or ergonomics, etc) are typically effective in inducing, if you will, "good luck."

Shamanism - Native American Taoism?
Shamanism is the only universal "religion"; it is a spiritual practice that has spontaneously started in various tribes around the world.. usually in different names such as Buddhism and Taoism. It's universal because it started out of nowhere with no prophets and no underline reason, and in places that were separated from each other by massive oceans or treacherous lands.
Some evidence has linked the famous Jesus Christ's 13-30 year missing segment of his life with an outsider who came into the Buddists of the mountains of western Asia. Such controversial information has been viciously suffocated to prevent general awareness of such a possibility.. luckily the internet was created.
"The Unkown Life of Jesus Christ" is a book I have yet to read and I think I will enjoy it.

"Monster Magnet" views on drugs
Dave Wyndorf (Wikipedia)
Wyndorf believes that drugs are not an inspiration for music nor a gateway into creativity. He has stated that he has never written songs on drugs and that he thinks that those artists who have done so, would have made better music if they hadn't composed while being on drugs. In a 1995 interview Wyndorf stated that legalizing mushrooms in America might be a bad idea stating "Americans have been so suppressed for so long that given that kind of freedom they would tend to abuse it".
Born on the 28 October of 1956 in the suburban community where he'd be raised, Red Bank, New Jersey, Dave Wyndorf is one of eight children from a lower-middle-class Catholic family. Early in life, he was influenced greatly by the record collection belonging to his older brother, by seeing a UFO with his mother and two sisters, and by going to a Hawkwind concert in New York. He also discovered comic books -a medium that continues to provide ideas for his songs- as well as sex and drugs. Wyndorf lost his virginity at 13. At 14, Wyndorf started selling pot; by 20, he was using LSD and cocaine regularly. Later, he became an alcoholic. Wyndorf would give up drugs and drinking in 1995.
On February 27, 2006, Dave overdosed on prescription drugs. An upcoming European tour for Monster Magnet was subsequently canceled. His management released the following statement:
The battle with one’s inner demons is the most personal fight any of us can undertake. The fight is at times a lonely, confusing journey. On the evening of February 27, Dave Wyndorf suffered a setback in his own fight and was hospitalized due to a drug overdose. His full recovery is expected. We ask that all those he has encountered over the years or simply affected by his music to take a moment to think good thoughts of and for him and his son Reece Flair. With the grace of God and those who love him we are all confident that Dave will rebound from this set back and continue to play and make great rock and roll.
