Golf

For some reason golf is one of the hardest games in the world to be good at. Did you notice I did not say play. Because golf is easy to play. That is a fact. Just think about it compared to other sports. Golf is pretty low impact. First of all there is no running or jumping. You don't have to be a giant like a basketball player. Or a big huge man like a football line man. Or a world class runner like a football running back or receiver.. Most sports require you to be a great athlete to start with then to work at your sport for years and then if you don't get hurt and catch some breaks you can have maybe a 5 to 10 years career. But most likely you will fall along the way side. With a inquirer. You see all most all sports stars have god given talent. If you are 6' 10 inches tall that is not something you did that is a gift from god. Its like someone with a great singing voice they did not work for that voice it was just given to them. Now what they do with it is up to them.But you can't do anything with out that first. But then there is Golf and this is the appeal of this sport. You don't have to be 7 feet tall or run a 10 flat 100 yard dash or have a beautiful god given singing voice. You just have to pick up a club and hit a little ball to a spot on a beautiful field with perfectly cut grass and some sand position around. It is so easy its hard. Well let me go back a bit Its easy until you start to TRY. That is right when you are out there having fun playing golf it is easy as soon as you start to try to play then the whole thing blows up in your face. As soon as the score become a factor golf becomes a extremely difficult game. So now you have all these people who are telling you if you just swing the club right you can play like a pro. These people are in the swing grind business. Did you ever notice most swing coaches never played pro golf and if they did they either got old or never did play very good at all. So they had to find another way to make money The Swing coach is born.....Now if you a thinking about how to do something instead of just doing it you are in trouble. Now golf is hard and not fun anymore because you are not playing golf anymore you are working on your swing every shot you are rehearsing your swing thoughts and not hitting the ball to a spot anymore. I mean that is all golf is hit the little ball there go find it and hit it to the next spot hopefully closer to the hole ha ha .And you are going to miss a lot more than you make so get over it This is not a game for perfectionists This is a game for people with great mental attitudes and who never give up battlers fighters tenacity perseverance And players who can forget all the shit about the swing and get out of their own way These are the people who play good golf well. Be a player not a swing grinder...  .                    

I need Tea

A girl on my twitter page said she was to lazy to make some tea but she sure did want some right then. So I thought since I have been seeing those I-robot ads about the vacuum cleaner. Now would be a great time to get on my coke box and talk about robots again. Come on U.S it time to get back in the manufacturing business and start building personal robots yes personal computers were a great thing but think how much better a personal robot would be. You don't have to get on the computer anymore just surf the net through your robot Robots have the potential to be your friend your helper and even your lover. Just think when Ford started rolling those model A 's off the assembly line he had no idea what the public was going to do with his little car. The everyday Joe took that car and  used it in a hundred different ways Ford never dreamed of its the nature of the beast called humanity. If someone could just get a simple working model out there the human experience will take over and transform it in to what ever the mind can conceive. So stop trying to make a perfect robot make a robot and watch the world make it perfect. The first cars did not go fast enough so people put bigger motors in them they were not big enough people cut the frame and made them bigger. That is just the way it is. Look at boats and airplanes when they were first made till now. General Motor build a personal robot this year it does not matter if the design is not ready or the actuators are not strong enough or any other aspects. May be GM is to much to ask  how about Honda or Toyota or Polaris's or some other company that has the simple technology to integrate computers with mechanics come on this stuff is all ready here its like when the Wright Brothers were building the first airplanes. They did not invent anything they just put things together in a way that worked. That is the same kind of innovation we need now. To develop Robots that will transform our lives in a positive manner. I sure would like a cup of tea. One mans Opinion            

Fall in Texas

You wake in the morning with a slight nip in the air. Its not cold it just cool refreshing a heavy dew .Late October in Texas is one of the best places in the world to be. We have seasons here and most are unbearable but fall in the one that is the best. Yes fall is a time of year when the crops come in and everyone is working and making money there is hope and optimism. Friday night football at your old school No matter how long its been since you went there. The fair comes to town Halloween Thanksgiving all the holidays This is one of the most social times of year in Texas. College ball at all the university Teams are trying their best every Saturday Afternoon. Then all the  things like. Making preparations for the winter getting everything repaired and sealed down. For by far the worst time of the year Winter is a bitch cold wet and hard to get anything done. If you live in a cold climate you are use to that type of weather but if you live where it is hot most of the time the cold is hard to take. Now the Spring you would think is a time of rebirth and joy to start over a new year but here it is a bitch that is right the wind never stops and the dirt will blow for days Then there are the storms massive thunder storms with lighting and rain and hail and worst of all the tornado's. After that the summer sets in oh happy days right wrong. Now it is a 100 degrees everyday and about 80 at night yes one hot mother. It don't rain it don't blow its just hottttttt. You have to be hard to take the summers in Texas. Especially if you work outside. So when fall get here it is just nice to have a few months of pleasant weather before the storm of Winter and the cycle starts all over again.. Most people who move here from the North don't last long the heat sends them back in a few years.       

I had a Vision

One day a man comes to my house and I was out side painting the windows and trim. He approached me and started his sells pitch about the new satellite dish he had. And how even people living in the rural areas can now have cable TV at a minimal cost. Now usually I would have told this guy to fuck out but I had just recently married a new wife who was much younger than I so. I thought I would listen to this guy and see if this new product could in rich the lives of me and my new squeeze. So that is how I first got satellite TV out in the country. Now I am here waiting for some one to bring me a robot that will do all sorts of menial tasks for me. You know take out the trash wash dishes mow the lawn fix and repair household problems . And if they could fashion it to look like a beautiful woman with working parts that would be just fantastic. These machines are right around the corner and some one needs to hurry up and get them on the market so people can start to enjoy domestic help again with out the stigma of slavery. Yes just a little over a hundred years ago people had domestic help and Industrial help to And if you went to the slave market  and picked out a young slave girl she was your property to do with what you wanted. Work her in the house or out most of the girls and young women that worked in the house were also concubines. And that explains why most black people in America trace there genetic backgrounds back to Europe. There great grandfather was the plantation owner. Like Thomas Jefferson. So we need to go back to a time of refinement and elegance and enlightenment that one gets with the proper amount of time for abstract thinking and innovation and just plain physical pleasures of the flesh. To live a happy full life the way we were suppose to with out all the limits put on us by society and religions and anything else that restricts or oppresses the human soul. Love is not a crime or a betrayal its just part of being human. One mans opinion         

I started a new blog

I started a new blog called Tommy Van Go Pearson and it is just a picture blog of uninteresting things I come across in my day to day movements how ever I have not been moving lately so I Have no new pictures to comment on. But bear with me it is coming I just have to get all the kinks out of the chain. And try and be more productive in my approach. With a lot less procrastinating. At first I thought I would have all sorts of things to photograph and talk about but now it all seems so redundant. Its funny how great some ideas sound one day and the next just lose there luster. That is the way it is with song writing. If its good the next day it will be good for ever. If its not it is just crap forever. Anyway see you latter......        

Death Ratios

 Yes with jets flying all over the world and diesel powered ships crisscrossing the oceans. This planet is getting smaller and smaller everyday. But one thing that is not getting smaller is the population. The ratio right now is thought to be about 2.39 to 1:  So every time someone dies almost two more are born. At this rate it will not that long and the planet will not be able to sustain all of its inhabitant At this time it is thought that the population is at or close to 7 billion so it does not take one long with a calculator to see we are on a one way street to over population.On one hand this could be construed as a bad thing on the other it could be seen as opportunity. Yes everyone needs a chair a car a house more shit so the people who are making shit are making money and living the big life. And all the rest are just consumers. Yes it is one of the lowest forms of life on this planet consumer. Not a producer Not a maker or creator not even a worker just a parasite or consumer. We will probably not live long enough to experience the shortages and hunger of a over populated planet. But trust me they will come and the wars that will be fought over food and water will be brutal.And all the greedy rich people out there who have took and took their whole lives and are just consumers will be the first to be taken from. And the redistribution of wealth in this world will begin. And the population will be under control by famine and wars just as it has been from the beginning of time.  One Mans Opinion         

Debates

Last night they had the presidential debates on TV. What a bunch of shit all the sudden Romney is for poor people and medical care and taxing the rich can you say lying bastard. I knew you could!!!
He don't pay taxes why would he let his buddies down at the Republican party pay. Debates why don't they just call them lying contests because that is all they do. I just love the poor working people of this country who think they are Republicans because they pay taxes and don't get government hand outs. They are just dumb asses because the rich don't pay taxes either.. Just look at Romney...
If the truth be know the rich and the poor are more alike than the middle class. The poor live off the government and so do the rich.. Farmers with all their government programs and big business with all of the incentive programs out there for them. They get more money from the government than anyone.And what about all the military contracts who is cleaning up on that deal. It is not my BROTHER- IN- LAW is it yours Ha ha ha...That is the Republican way over steal and manipulate the system.
  Now for the Democrats there plan is not much better. Tax everyone more a spend it a on the poor. They are dumb sons of bitches to because you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day or you can teach him how to fish and feed him for a life time..We need big changes big steps no more baby steps. We need to legalize drugs and get them off the streets and put that money into the main system not the black market. Stop glamorizing drug dealers as a way to get out of poverty in the inter cities.
To many young people are falling for this lie and losing their lives. We are turning Mexican thugs into millionaires in the drug trade.. We can grow it here better than they can this is stupid... Keep the money here.. WE have to get a handle on trade especially with China. The best way to start is any company who wants to shut down in this country and move it operation over seas can not sell there products here anymore simple. You move out of this market you lose this market. We need to be making fly swatters again. And all the other day to day bullshit that people buy. If we can't compete with their price then we charge a high tariffs on all the products to level the playing field..Stop Walmart from flooding the market with low quality crap from China or where ever. We need to be selling fly swatters in China too.  One mans Opinion            

Russia

Why were we a odds with the Russians for so many years. We are both mostly European and believe in the same God so why were we in the cold war. Was it solely political ideology. Communism vs Capitalism. Or was it just the reaction of two countries after a world war trying to hold on to their identity Not wanting to be swallowed up by the ways and influence of a new super power in the world. Whether it be the multiracial economic juggernaut of the U.S. or the new at that time promise of communism. Yes communism was going to get rid of the old class system in Europe and make the playing field fair for everyone. Yea right !!! Hundreds of years of people who owned the land and people who worked the land for them. And you had no choice you were born into it.. Bondage.. You could not work your way out from the have nots to the haves that was almost impossible. And to be fair this was not just Russia but all of Europe. That is why so many peasants came to the U.S. to start over and get out from under that cloud of oppression. Then Hitler showed what a country can do if it has one mind and one direction. Be it a crazy perverted mind but focus and purpose none the less The German nation accomplished a tremendous turn around in there economy in a short time with Hitlers  leadership. So if he could do that with Germany just think what Russia could do under a Dictator with absolute power the thought of that for the Western world was nothing less than catastrophic. So the fear of another power hungry man with total control over a vast Nation Like Russia was a real possibility. You see the Czar like all King believed they were entitled and in so being had a responsibility to the people they were like their fathers so even if they were ruthless in some cases as a whole they believed God put them in this position and it was their duty to do their best to take care of the people or God would have them replaced. But a commoner like Stalin he was just like Hitler. He would get drunk on his own power and lose control just like Hitler did. He did not have the royal conscience beat in to him from the time he was born..How can you elect a man without a family to a high political office a stray dog with nothing to lose. Over the lives of millions Germany did Hitler.
So its not hard to see how we got in the cold war or arms race with Russia. And as far a communism goes Anytime you have a King and Nobles you have a power vacuum in between  them and the people  This void is filled by the smart and ruthless and these are the people who really run a country at the ground level And communism was taken over by these people and done away with. Because greed consumes all systems eventually. Greed will tear down Capitalism just like it did Communism

Another Day

Yes another day has passed into oblivion not much gained and not much lost. Spent some time making some necklaces out in the shop. But other than that I didn't do much. Played with the cats and feed them. A old friend stopped by and shot the shit for a while. Talked to my daughter a bit after school. Then she was off to band practice. Just one of a thousand uneventful days that I have lived. And as time goes by It looks like a lot more of them. I had a guy pull a gun on me once and shot at me that was a memorable day. I like today better. I had a guy cut my arm with a knife one day over a pool game. I like today better. I was busted once with pot and the police beat the shit out of me I didn't wake up for two days. Today was better than that. There are all kinds of days good ones you will never forget and bad ones you can't forget Then there are days like today not much happened but you have to enjoy these just as well as the exciting ones. Because these are the days that make up the majority of ones life. Normal calm days and if you can find some affection and understanding and companionship These are the days when put all together turn into a beautiful life.. One Mans Opinion    

Relationships

You can't get around it in this life. Your success or failure depends your relationships. If you pick good ones you will do good if you pick bad ones then you are going to be fighting those people your whole life.When you are growing up you have childhood friends you don't think about these people as Allys they are just your friends Now as you get older you realize these are the people who are going to help you make you what you are in this life. Friends are very important. So pick them wisely. Spouses are another relationship you have to pick and this is as important as all the rest. So take you time and try and make sure you know this person before you commit yourself to them...It can be the difference in being happy and not. These are the pickers and they a the most important.
   Now we have all those relationships that you have no say over you know your crazy Uncle Joe everyone says is crazy cause he is.. Grandparents, Aunts Uncles Parents and your neighbors  these people are hardwired into your life through genes or just logistics so get along with them and build bonds and ties with these people. You are there to help them and they are here to help you in some way or another..Children are a whole other ball of wax.You love these people more than anyone else in the world because they are you. And lets face it everyone loves their self the most of all. Then your kids are next in line. Until they start to go there own way and will not do what you tell them any more  This is where the problems between parents and kids arise. They just don't listen to you anymore now they are listening to their peer group and so called friends. So just bit your tongue and go with it until they grow up and grow out of those people. Now go out a form the best bonds and relationships you can so you can live a life as full as you can.

Fight or Flight

This is programed in to our DNA  When confronted by a situation that evokes fear we react in one way or the other. Stand and fight or run for your life Now on the savannas of Africa this was a pretty easy choice. Most times we being slow relatively small mammals with no large teeth or claws. We better run up a tree and try to get away. But as we became more the masters of our environment the choice becomes more difficult to make. With the stone axe and bow and arrow and spear now the predator starts to look like prey that is so stupid it will come to you.But we still have this fight or flight mentality build into us. And there are times in modern life when this get in our way. Some times you should stand and discuss the problem But you are afraid to so you put it off and put it off. And young people get in to a car accident they are more likely to run from the scene because of fear. Even though it may just be a fender bender no big deal. When you get scared you are programed to run its just that simple. Or fight...And if there is nothing there to fight you run.. So next time you hear of some kid leaving the scene of a accident don't jump to conclusions about their character. They mite of been scared.. One Mans Opinion      

Rain

Rain is such a simple thing.
Water falling from the sky.
It doesn't seem to mean much.
But with out it we would die.

With out muddy mother earth
No plants would ever thrive
With out the world in bloom
No insects could servive.

The rain is just tiny rivers
That run throught everything
In animals it runs red
In plants it always green.

When the rain is falling
It cools the air so slick
The ions are a changing
And your mood will just as quick.

You want to cuddle together.
To brace against the light
The thunder can be deafning
As you love away the night.

Rainy days and love always make you feel better. Tomas Van Go Pearson

Cars

In this country everyone drives a car. They will drive one block to the store. People do not walk in this country. There is such a disconnection in this country because people don't interact with each other on a day to day basis They are never eye to eye to say hello or just a passing glance at someone of the opposite sex who is attractive. The auto has put us in our own little capsule our identity mobile our tank our shield against the world its great for protection from stray dogs and people. But we have to pay a price for this protection. And the price is we are desensitized to society. So when you get around people you either go wild or you are a wallflower afraid to interact with other people. Your skills at getting along with other people are not as in tune or acute As someone who has grown up in a country where people still walk and talk in public. And are not shielded from one another by a steel box on wheels.  This is not the way it use to be the car was a important tool of the 1900's especially the 20's through the 40's we used the cars and trucks for work. Then starting in the 50's the car became something else it was about style and look not just function anymore it was a rolling motel. It had to be fast. Guys mostly started customizing there cars to reflect their own personalities. Then in the 60's the Manufacturers picked up on this and started producing cars that appealed to young viral men and to older men who still wanted to feel young. With the muscle cars that lasted until roughly the 80's. Then the car was not about who you were. It was more about  what you had accomplished.   Or how greedy you were  Could you afford a Mercedes or a Beamer or a Maserati. Or were you driving a Ford..Now the best selling vehicle is a Truck yes the old work truck is now king of the road.,It does not matter what flavor either Ford Chevy Toyota Dodge. So now a working man has to pay out the you know what for a truck because every little girl and her boy friend are buying them and driving the price up. We need to go electric and walk more and ride bikes more and stop being so disconnected with each other     One Mans Opinion            

Animals

People are crazy about animals. That is right I don't care if its a dog or a cat or a horse, Humans really enjoy the company of animals Now I can see the first motivation to have them around food. Yes we eat more animals than any other species Cows, Chickens, Pigs, Sheep,and Fish are just a few of the animals we people love to eat. So that is our main attraction to animals. But then on the other hand we like animals for other reasons too. Mostly to work to help us do our jobs. Yes all those animal that are now called pets were at one time or are still our helpers. Dogs are the prize of the pets because they help us hunt and find food and have for millennia. Humans have a very close relationship with dogs. Most cultures will not eat the dog for this reason. Next is cats. Why cats? They are aluff and will not help you do anything. But they will control the mice and rats in there area. And these animal eat our grain and infest our dwellings if not kept in check. So we love cats even though they are free agents so to speak. So we don't eat them either..most places don't. Now we come to Mister Majestic the Horse. Yes this animal took us from being a slow pitiful hunter and turned us into the master of our surroundings With power  speed  height and stamina. .In farming in hunting in war in just everyday transportation  The horse revolutionized Man.........That is why under no circumstance should you ever eat a horse. Your way of life and everything you are is a result of the contributions made by the partnership between man and horse..I know everyone loves their dog but its the horse that really changed the world. Now people will keep almost any animal snakes. birds, alligators what ever but the top three are the ones that enabled us to create civilization. And should be treated with a little more respect on our part. One Mans Opinion             

Hunger

Their are a lot of people in the world who are hungry everyday.Just living hand to mouth and sometimes it don't reach their mouths. Years ago a group of Rock Stars from mainly Britain and some U.S. players put on a big concert for world hunger and now after raising millions and millions of dollars their is still hunger in the same countries. The people or organizations who are trying to help this problem should take more of a proactive approach instead of a reactive approach. Yes people are starving are you going to feed them for a week or are you going to teach them how to feed themselves for ever. These people live in some of the worst land in the world move them. Buy some tractors and seed and teach them to plant and harvest. Kill all the people who are stealing the food and resources from the people.Go in with troops and stabilize the country then Teach the people to farm and raise animals and fish if they have seaports. Then think about moving some to lands that will sustain them they should be educated and  learn of birth control. These countries are over populated and the land is not able to support them. If all the money that has been given to feed these people over the last 30 years had been spent in this way. We would not have to look at starving baby's on the TV every night. I know these organizations make money off this  with administration cost and fees so the TV ads and mail will continues to come. And people will keep starving and the cycle of abuse will continue. As usual this is just... One Mans Opinion..          

Drugs

 Drugs are a important part of the world we live in. Yes without the plants and chemicals that makeup our modern pharmacy. Mankind would be in a sad shape without them. One of the main things would be pain. Pain management with the use of drugs has made great strides in the last few hundred years. Antibiotics are a great life saver with infections. There are all kinds of drugs out there doing great thing for the quality of life. Then on the other hand there are a lot of drugs out there that are just for people to medicate themselves. And in my opinion most people who take these drugs are doing so because they have a chemical imbalance in there brains or their home life and situation is intolerable so they try and escape reality chemically. Human beings are just  chemical and electrical machine moving around this planet  Bouncing off of one another in relationships and work situations And some people find it hard to cope with modern society. The clock is a big problem for some. Be here this time or that time. It starts to wear on some after a while. Noise I don't think humans are good at handling it at the level  the modern world dishes it out. Cars, trains, planes, boats, saws, air compressor, anything with a motor gas or electric. TV radio concerts media noise.  We are constantly surrounded by noise. You can't get away from it. Motion we move so much now here there everywhere always on the go.cars, trains, planes, we move faster than we ever have its not natural. We see so much  TV, movies, computers, cell phones we are bombarded by images everyday sometimes all day long and all night. Thank you mister Edison for the light bulb now we can work all day and all night. The food we now enjoy is from all over the world. The tastes and smells are as different as the places they come from. So even our mouths are being overloaded. It is not hard to see this modern world is exposing people to moods and sensations they would normally not be accustomed to. And if you can't get out physically you do so chemically by using some drug to let you escape your reality. So if its Alcohol, Caffeine, Nicotine, Marijuana, Cocaine, Meth, Heroin,or some other chemical. Don't be to hard on people who can't cope with modern society. Everyone uses some type of  chemical to get along in the world..  One Mans Opinion                    

China

I have never been to China. But I have a felling it is a beautiful country. Its the most populated so there is something happening over there. It must have vast resources to be able to support that many people. And from all the pictures I have seen the landscapes are just marvelous. All the sea ports along its huge coastline. Then the interior with its mountains and valleys and large rivers. And the plains of the north remind me of the plains of the United States just wide open spaces you can see for a hundred miles. Yes this is truly a great country Not only in size and population but also in Majesty.
  The people of China are some of the most lovely in the world. Well mannered respectful hard working. It is no wonder they are becoming one of the planets most powerful economic nations. They have a ability to get along and get things done with out all the fussing and fighting.. I want to think that China is where the United States was in the 50's or 60's just people living a simple life trying to take care of there families and be happy and enjoy their lives..I don't know this I just hope its that way and not a bunch of sweat shops exploiting people. Well anyway here's to China I hope everything is going great for the workers.. One Mans Opinion       

American Dream

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that will let someone throw off the chains of poverty and be able to live a large life  With hard work, talent, education luck or even crime. A person is able to live a life style that is far superior to that of the rest of the world. Yes big houses nice car fine clothes sexual companionship all these things are there to be bought in this country. If one can obtain the money. Now back in the 50's when the Fraze American Dream was first coined It meant loosely to own your own home and car and have a nice job. A family with the wife staying home to watch the kids and the Man to go and work. And daddy had the money to handle any situation. It was a form of utopia in the minds of the American workers. The nuclear family. The TV show of the 50's and most of the 60's reflect this mind set. The government and big business wanted to keep the workers happy. So with the TV programing they had people believing that this was a good life and is really all they should expect from life. Look if you can get here then that is great. You made it. A 20 thousand dollar a year job a house, a car, kids what more could you want...right  Well then the more monster starts to take over. The keeping up with the Jones effect. Well John and Joan moved to a bigger house out in the country. He got moved up to management he is not a worker anymore. Now they have motorcycles and a house at the lake and John has a girl friend in town. That's why he moved his wife to the country. All of the sudden the American Dream had changed now its all about American GREED get the most you can with out going to jail and some will even do a few years in jail if they can hide the money and get it when they get out. So now the American Dream is to be a famous sports star or singer or actor or criminal. What ever it takes to get the money and power. And not surprisingly this is what the TV and Movies Industries are all about now telling people yes you are going to be star and rich and live big lives. Just watch this movie this is  what you want to be when you grow up. Your odds of becoming someone rich and famous are about the same as winning the lotto. So its all a lie and millions of people get caught up in it. We need to go back to the original American Dream with more focus on the family and being apart of your community.  Not the cutthroat get rich quick star and fame focus we have now. You know if you are pretty enough and will take your clothes off you could be a model and get rich.........Ha ha One Mans Opinion..                     

IPhone

Thinking of buying that new IPhone. Well lets just take a minute to get our heads around what we are doing first. We are replacing our main means of communication our connection to the world our window to other places yes the phone is no longer just a tool to stay in touch with family and friend and to do business with. No it has become far more important than that. Its a computer in your hand its hooked up to the web you can search anything you like.  No need for the Encyclopedia Britannica anymore Google profiles you and knows what you are looking for before you do. Social media Facebook, Twitter, My Space and more everyday. Its a GPS devise it will tell you where you are and how to get where you are going. Americans have the cell phone super glued to there kids hands at about 12 or 13 years old now. No really. So when you are thinking of changing phones this is a big deal. This is the devise that hold your status in the world in the palm of its hand. If its not cool your not cool. If it don't work your a jerk. You have to post pictures everyday. Who you are. What you are doing and where you are going. If you can't stay in your out. This is important stuff.    You need to wait for at least 6 months to let Apple get all the real world bugs out of the phone before you buy one and to also let the price come down a little.So your not the one paying for and the hype. After they get it to stop freezing so much and run properly Then go and buy one and enjoy all the  features of your new had held computer.     ONE MANS OPINION     

The Dinar

Is this a real investment or a big scam. I have know way to predict the future. But a lot of people are buying them and thinking when it revalues. It will be worth substantially more than what they payed for it. I am from the old school as far as there is never something for nothing. But when you have greedy unscrupulous people in the world looking to exploit any opportunity. This becomes a real possibility. Well if you think about it the US government is not going to go into a country and spend all that money if there is not a pay off somewhere. And our soldiers are coming back and buying dinars were they told something?? Is this the legal way to gut the Iraqi economy for years perhaps forever When we leave we still basically own the country. This sounds like the new model for how to control a country after you have invaded and conquered and left. But you take all the wealth with you now and for generations to come. This seems to be the thyme. So whether you are buying or selling or don't give a dam. This is out there and happening as we speak. So roll you dice.....  And try to play nice..kiddies         

Twitter Money

What is it? Is it a place to meet new people. Is it a place to sell stuff. Is it a place to gain knowledge. Or is it a place to waste time looking at girls and boys. I think it is pretty much all of these and more if you can unlock the secret to the code. Everyone is looking for followers but the key is customers Yes people of the right age and with expendable cash that you can get your hands on. Separating people from they money is a hard nut to crack. And really so if you are not right in front of them putting on the pressure. Are you going to buy this or what you know you want it and you need it so come on pop for it. Now how do you get that type of pressure to buy over the web.With words of course. But how do you find those people with money to spend on your thing. Well what are you pushing sex young men are always looking at porn but old men have the money to buy so target them. Older women like to look at young men so boys go to groups women would go to. Like recipes and books and religious things and don't use bad words in your tweets these women are not looking for a ghetto punk.They are looking for someone to look at and in a strange way help..So sell your picture or your time talking to them. Now girls go to sports groups and humor  and business sites looking for men Not your favorite Rappers. The guys there have no money and are just players not customers so don't waste your time.And please no tattoos or piercings these guys are looking for the girl next door not a hooker or a whore. If you are trying to sell a product Like a skin care thing or something Don't be a hound about it be more subtle about it. Talk about something else not just about the product. Have a little finesse. If you are promoting your cause. Then just splash it everywhere with out rhyme or reason. You never know when or where it will stick. So what ever your thing is Twitter is a great place to put it out there to the world....One Mans Opinion              

Music Thoughts

When I was young I heard rock and roll Music and fell in love with the strong beats and melodies And all the old movies that would come on Saturday afternoons with Elvis and the Beatles and all the other acts from the 50"s and 60's . They were raw unpolished sexy and Innocent  all at the same time. And not pretty boys like you see now. This guys were average looking men of there day. Then I started listening to the radio and here was all these Rock bands of the 70's These bands could play and sing And were by most accounts masters of the genre. Every band from the 70's was great you could not get any air time if you weren't. Names here is a few Grand Funk, Led Zepplin, The Eagles ,Boston Foreigner, Reo Speedwagon. Santana, Pink Floyd The list is to long to include everyone. The end of the 70's a sound called Disco took off like a rocket and just as quickly burned out leaving behind a electric drum beat that would be resurrected time and time again for the next 20 years  The Bee Gees were one band to take full advantage of the sound and pretty much make it there own Also lurking in the background was a thing called punk coming out of the inner city's of the north east like New York. With bands like the Ramones and Talking Heads and spreading across the pond to England to bands like The Clash and the Sex Pistols to name a few. All the time boiling in the clubs in Britain is a new pop sound that is using the just found caribbean reggae drum beat with classic British Melodies. Thanks to Bob Marley for bring that Jamaican sound to the table. And Third World for refining it. Now comes the 80's and a lot of one hit wonders like Tears for Fear, Crowded House, Culture Club. And the force that was Steve Ray Vaughan A blues master cut right from the same material as Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. And the southern band Lynyrd Skynyrd Heavy in the rhythm and blues from the old south. A cross of old English folk music and African music that is the origins of Jazz and the Blues. That high lonesome bluegrass sound is in it self just the blues.Now we have the 90's can you say Rap yes Rap took over with a vengeance all through next two decades.With Tupac, MC Hammer Beastie Boys Snoop Dogg and now Drake. So now that rap has had about a 20 year run what is next I can't wait to see. But believe me its right around the corner.  That new sound it brewing in the basement of some kids house or some club or bar in some big city or little town somewhere out there it is. And it will not be long until it is here..               

Population

Everyone know if they have had a dog or cat as a pet when they were kids or they have animals around now or they live in a rural location and have farm animals. What ever the case maybe you have seen the cycles of life. More directly animals coming into heat is one word. Season is another because most animals reproduce in the Spring of the year to give their young time to grow in order to survive the Winter. Ergo the birds and the bees so nature has a plan and it has worked quite well for sometime. Now we have the Humans they come into heat about 13 or 14 puberty they are ready to reproduce. And the female stay ready every night until about 45.And the male can reproduce almost until they die. I have heard of men in their 80's fathering children..And for some reason our brains are over loaded with the drive to have sex. It is almost uncontrollable at an early age and does not diminish much through out your life. As seen by all the TV show about Playboys and Men with money who just go from one flower to the next. Or the show about all these older women who have money and or on the look out for younger men or even boys Cougars.. Or the 13 years old girl and the 14 year old boy in the neighborhood just fooling around because they have an itch and they need to scratch it. Or just experimenting with their sexuality. Now this was all fine and dandy when people lived off the land or in small villages All the natural things took care of the population. But now we are in a situation where the planet will only bare so much. And we need to slow the population growth. And it is hard in countries with strong religious fervor. Every nation should have some type of birth control or the planet will be over run with to many people. Sex is a natural thing but children we can't properly educate and support is not..The world does not need more people born into poverty..And now with global media the poor can see how the rich live and they want that life to. Its not a secret anymore in Africa or South America or China or the Middle East..                 

Ice Cold Gold

Do any of you people watch those Gold digger show from Alaska Are those guys whacked or what Get in water that is 28 degrees and go to the bottom and suck up dirt and filter out the gold. Hey don't get me wrong I would love to be rich just like everyone else but come on there is a death factor in this shit. You fuck up your equipment messes up your a cold dead fish at the bottom of Nome Harbor  You can make money doing a lot of things that don't have the death factor.Well really everything has the death factor but some are just a lot less likely. The frialator could explode at Mcbugers and you could die not something that happens everyday but it could so you take that chance when you go there and work. But diving under 4 feet of ice and running a suction hose for lets say 5 hours shit could go wrong and it don't take long to die if you can't breath. And most of those young guy's up there are smoking cigarettes so you know they can't hold their breath for very long.. It does make interesting TV everybody goes to the car crash to see if someone has died. Same thing people like to watch other people die or get close to dieing. Its such a Taboo thing it draws people like a moth to a flame.A fly to a light a young country girl to neon. Its hypnotic they can't turn away. Just like the gold fever that these young men in Alaska have feel victim to.....What is your folly?????? One Mans Opinion         

Computing

At first it was IBM yes they were to big and had to large of a market share. In the office machine business They were the Kings When they went to California to get a software company to write them a operating system. The guy was out flying his plane so did they wait for him to land and talk business hell no. They left and went North to see this young man Bill Gates to see if he could write a operating system for their New line of personal computers. And his company wrote MSDOS and WINDOWS . And then become one of the Riches men in the world. And in doing so basically took over the software business. With his competitive nature and drive almost to the point of becoming a tyrant. Forcing a lot of the smaller software companies out of business. Now comes the Internet with companies like Amazon  selling you stuff. Ebay you selling stuff and buying stuff. These companies make lots of money. For awhile then it tapers off. Now here comes Google a search engine that profiles you to take you where you want to go faster than ever before. There were a lot of search engines out there but Google did it a little better than the rest. And in so doing got the market share of searches now this seems meaningless on the surface but in reality money goes where the people are especially advertising money so now Google is making tons of money..So to try and catch up Microsoft puts together Bing but is to late that ship has already sailed. Google is the search engine period... Now comes social media yes My Space, Facebook, Twitter. Now you can hook back up with all those people you lost touch with during your life. Like they were really important to you..NOT If they were you would not have lost touch with them. Or lets meet new people from all over the world. Like you are ever going to have the money to go and see these people.... Please..  Oh I almost forgot Dell and Gateway and Compaq and HP and a host of other manufacturing companies making the little box that makes you think the world is smaller. And of course Apple. This is a brief history of computing. Or just One Mans Opinion .....                 

9/11

I forgot it was 9/11 because it is something that should be forgotten. The memory of destruction of a public place because of unethical trade practices by our government and big businesses in this country is not something I would like to remember. And the fact that it could have been avoided with a less greedy approach to world trade. Is ashamed for the people who were working there and got caught up in the conflict and lost their lives.  But that is what happens when you cheat and steal from countries that are smaller than you they can't fight you militarily they resort to terrorism. It has been the same since the Roman Empire. Or as far back as Egypt. When you exploit your neighbors so you can make a profit on their resources or labor it is just a matter of time before someone revolts against you. Our government know this most of the people in the government are not stupid. And the military is payed to stay on top of all these situations. Because our business are out there trying to get the best deal they can by any means possible. Our system like all systems since the dawn of time works on greed. The cheaper you can buy it the more money you make. The more you can sell the more you make. Its all based on greed And greed is not honest And greed does not have a social conscience.And greed does not care how many oriental prostitutes it takes to pay the rent as long as it is payed. And you say we are not apart of that. That is not our problem. But really you are the problem every time you go to Walmart and buy a shirt sewn together by a 10 year old kid That as soon as she turns 13 they will make a working girl out of her cause she can make more money that way for awhile. This is life for a lot of people in this world. So when you think about 9/11 think about what you can do to fix this shit. Not waving you flag and praying for dead people...That is not the lesson here. Its when a farmer in China makes the same money as a DR. in New York City And if we can't fix this. Its just a matter of time before some crazy person get hold of the big bomb and blows up more than just a few buildings. STOP THE GREED BEFORE IT KILLS US ALL.One mans Opinion                       

A Voice A Rant

Here I am a voice in the wilderness in the back waters the sticks the part of the world no one cares about . Its to small to have a say in anything  Its a no where place few people live here and the ones who do are so wrapped up in making a living they have no time for such things as thought or beliefs or causes. Even religion is put on the back burner Oh people go to Church but only as long as it don't interfere with there business or money interest. They will quit a Church in a minute if it starts taking to much of there time and money. That is why we have so many and all are half full every Sunday. People get mad and move from one to the other they are not looking for God they are looking for acceptance from the people in the Church. Its all a crock of shit that they are peddling Not one ounce of true in a thousand gallons of it. These Guys or Preachers what ever you want to call them are just one or two great sermons away from becoming JIM JONES Religious tyrants control freaks with power hungry minds and Self righteous motives they all want to be God themselves. And if they can control enough dim witted people they can obtain a certain amount of influence and power if you will in this small area of the country where no one gives to much thought to them and there little games.     If you put people in a position of power who would normally never be able to reach that status on there own you are in control of that person now totally  They will do anything you tell them once they have become intoxicated by the power. You see people don't really want money they want respect and power. Before money the biggest and the smartest people in the tribe got the most respect but everyone got some degree of respect based on who you were. Now people try to look down there noses at people who they think are not as good as they are. We have a real problem with this in this country everyone has a poker face and thinks they are better than every one else. When in reality no one is any better than any one else. Every body's shit stinks White Black Brown Yellow Rich Poor Educated Uneducated.  Some people inherit vast sums of money from relatives that makes them better than everyone else. Or land or business that run themselves and they just wait on the money to roll in. They are better than everyone else. Or there grandfather was a bootlegger in the 20's and got rich cause he was a crook that didn't get caught. Now his family is better than everyone else. Or the person who was so poor he had to struggle through collage because his family had no money and he wanted a decent job. Now he is better than everyone else. Or was he just to lazy to work out side with the men He had to go to school to get a job inside with the women.. Some of the stupidest and laziest people I have ever met were educated. And its a good thing they were cause if they had not been they would have starved to death. Those that can't do teach... This is just another rant or One mans Opinion...         

Pork and Rice

Here is one of my best recipes for a home cooked supper If you like the pig yes the other white meat and the meat with the most flavor. The tenderest meat there is Anyway here is what you do.You get a larger skillet cast iron if you have it if not any large pan will do. Now slice up some garlic about three cloves fry it in olive oil.until golden brown add one chopped up onion brown edges of the onion and add salt and pepper to taste Now put in about 5 large pork chops diced cut up in little squares. Add a little more oil and brown the meat on all sides. Now add two carrots and three celery stocks This is high heat so be sure to keep an eye on it. just a few minutes after the carrots and celery are in put three cups of water or just cover everything with water it depends on how big your pan it. Now make up two packages of brown gravy and pour in the mix. Bring to a boil. At this point be sure to season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the oven on about 225 degrees low heat put it in the oven covered for about 2 or 3 hours. Make some rice right before you are about to serve and some frozen egg rolls or home made egg rolls if you like them better. A honey mustard sauce and a hot ketchup sauce. One part ketchup a little olive oil salt pepper vinegar Tabasco worcestershire soy sauce stir it up this is great for dipping your egg rolls in. I know if you try this you will enjoy it.........                      

Texas Bar B-Q

Well here it is with Labor day just passed someone asked me to give a brief how to if you will on Texas Bar B-Q The first thing you have to have is a good off set cooker one box for the fire and another for the meat no direct heat you have to smoke low and slow about 250 degrees. Now everybody who smokes meat knows this but hear in Texas there are a few things that are different. One is we pick the worst cut of meat you can get the brisket A big tuff piece of meat from the shoulder of a cow. You can marinade it in your favorite spices or you can just salt and pepper it Your call on that. Now the wood I am sorry but there is only one kind of wood in Texas to smoke with and that is mesquite. If you don't use it You don't have real Texas Bar B-Q. Period  end of discussion. The sauce it is  generally  a tomato base Nothing out of the ordinary you can buy it anywhere. Or make your own recipes are all over the net. The key is the wood. Now here is how you do it Get your pit fired up get your temperature right or close now put that brisket leave it there with the fat down 5 hours Now take it out and wrap it in foil and cover it with your sauce and put it in a pan then put it back in the pit for 6 more hours and you will have some of the best smoked brisket of your life tender falling apart juice meat. Slice it thin and put some sauce on the side with Potato salad pinto beans, pickles, jalapenos peppers, some fresh onions. Dinner rolls or a plane slice of bread. Ribs Chicken Pulled pork are all the same just change how much time in the smoker..           

Life goes On

Everyone is young but not everyone gets to be old. Yes disease ,car accidents. crime. war they take people everyday.So if you live long enough chances are you will have someone close to you pass away. By sickness accident or one of these other causes. The stages first is shock you cry and miss the person so much. Second Anger why why why did this happen to this person they were so nice and good. Third is lost  you realize you are never going to see or talk to that person again never. Four you finally come to peace with the fact they are gone. And depending of the circumstances may be better off especially if they were sick and suffering. Or in the case of addicts were just miserable being alive. Then you get to that point where you don't think of them as often as you were. And the trails and tribulations of your own life setback in. A day turns in to a week turns in to a year and Life goes On. And to all my family and friends who have gone. I still loved you. One mans Opinion              

Church of Christ

I was on the golf course one day at my favorite club. One I had been a member at for some time and pretty comfortable there. I knew a lot players there and was always looking to meet new ones as time went by.And it was summer in the lone star so naturally it was hot as hell. So when I seen this guy walking. A few holes ahead of me I knew I would catch up to him. After a couple of holes sure enough we were there on the same tee box.So I gave him the standard response I can play with you or I can play through it does not matter to me. Then I added its a lot easier to ride than it is to walk in this heat. He said that makes sense so we would just finish out the back nine together. So as we started to play the conversation is always  the same when you first meet someone well what do you do. You see in America you are who you are based on what you do.That being said he proudly told me he was a retired school principal. So I thought a collage guy a educated fellow someone who is obviously  rational and astute. I will be able to talk about things with this man and  have a truly interesting conversation. And so it was to start weather sports local affairs. This guy was on point with everything. Then out of the blue he said do you believe in God. And of course I said Yes I don't think you can get around some kind of Creator. Then he said well I am a deacon at the Church of Christ and if you are not a church of Christ you are going to hell and that is just the way it is. Then he looked at me and said have you been saved and I said yes. And now dude get the fuck out of my golf cart and take you stupid ass on down the road. And never I mean never speak to me again..I have no room in my life for blatant stupidity. Religious arrogance is one of the most dangerous mental disorders in the world.... And should be confronted every steep of the way. Don't let this idiocy take hold in your town...Wither they be Muslims Jews Morons or the Church of Christ's                   

I have a Hope

Back in the 1960's Martin Luther Kings gave a speech called I have a dream. And with this speech he stirred the whole country into taking a hard look at itself. And civil right and the crime of persecution  of one race of people over another just because we are different. We look different we act different we even think different. That is no reason to mistreat abuse or belittle another human being. Physically or economically  just because they are different. Now in the last fifty years this country has made great progress in the way we tolerate each other. But now we have another problem that is manifesting itself. Its an evil thing that is tearing the underbelly of this country apart. Its the same old disease as before but now it not your color or religion its your bank account. That is right money power wealth these are the dividing lines now. I was watching the actor Samuel Jackson in a interview one day and he said Its funny when I got rich and famous I was not a nigger anymore.I was Mister Jackson and everybody was like how can I help you sir. Not like before when he was  just another young black man get out of the way. So this man found an occupation in life and in doing his job well I might add magically transformed himself into a whole other person. That the world perceives in a whole new way. But the guy he went to school with that got a job as a worker and worked hard and is good at it.. (Is still a nigger.) Wait wait wait you can't say that. But its the truth. Is this fair is this right it this the way it should be. Or is there something wrong. Or is it like Jesus said when they were about to put the oil on his head and feet one came up and said should we not sell this oil and give the money to the poor. And Jesus said the poor will always be here..That is prophetic!!!! One of the best lines in the bible..I have a hope that someday a man planting rice in China will be payed the same as a Dr. in New York City Or a man fishing in Haiti or a woman waiting tables at your local cafe
Or the man who drives the trash truck. or plays the songs on the radio or scores the winning touchdown. Or the girl who sells herself on the street corner. Yes even her.....Everyone has there place in this world. There will always be the poor. But the man who will work should be rewarded for it and treated with respect and dignity. I have a hope that someday these things will come true. I have a hope ..One mans Opinion                             

Labor day

Labor day labor day yes it is time again to thank all the countless people who go to work everyday  out of shear necessity  to produce all the wants and wares for this country and  a lot of the rest of the world. People like your father and mother who somehow feed you and clothed you and put you through school. And were there with that little trickle of money from time to time just to get you by.
 And basically that is all life is. Trying to take care of you and yours. With the sweat of your brow and bend of your back yes work labor These are the activities that fund life. 90 % of this world is in gaged in some form of labor each day. Working on a fishing boat or a farm or a construction site driving a truck. stocking a store, teaching children working in a office pushing papers, keeping books cutting hair these are all things people do everyday not because they want to but because they have to. To survive and take care of their family's. These are not labors of love. And should not be exploited in any way. So when you are with your bunch this weekend cooking out and having fun drinking and stuff. Just remember the reason we have this is because worker years ago stood up and formed unions and fought greedy industrialist. To get a fair wage and working conditions. Now have a good day...                

Eastwood and Palin

Well with the elections right around the corner the dirt is starting to pick up. The Ripoffs are in Florida by the way where they all go to retire And they rolled poor old Clint Eastwood out in a hoveround tried to get him to speak but to no avail. He was just looking for the lunch room at the nursing home. Didn't know if he was horse back or a foot..You have to hand it to the Ripoffs when they find something that works they stick to it. Years ago they got another old washed up actor and paraded him around for 8 years. Dick Cheney and George Bush moved him around like a puppet on a string. But I am sorry guy's Clint is to old to go out and play with you. If they would run him for President they might have a chance. Hell America elected Reagan and he wasn't even a good actor. They should have run Clint when he still had a pulse.
    And Poor Sarah I wonder if she feels cheap and used right now. You know the morning after a one night stand. It was great at that moment but now when you can see her in the morning light.. Can I call you a cab. That used and unwanted feeling.Just like my mother always said. When you sleep with snakes you will get bit..  Sorry Sarah... On the bright side you can go back to Alaska...Be Bold and Cold....bye bye  One mans opinion

Something to think about

In the early 1900's when modernization was first starting a few men got extremely rich. And with this power they started building railroads steel mills coal mines. At first people were glad to work at these places steady money and a better life for their families. Then the men with the money realized they had all the power so they could pay what they wanted not what was fair.And to boot they would open a company store and all the worker would have to buy their food and clothes there. So they would get all their money back when they marked up the goods from the store to a unfair price So the worker would be working for nothing. That is basically what happened..Then you have riots and the forming of labor unions to battle the greed of the republican industrialist. These are well documented facts.Now what we have is a different kind of oppression you don't see your exploiter. He is not in the office you work at he is in New York or London or Berlin or Hong Kong. They used to bring Chinese over here to build railroads now they just send the job to China. If they can't get it done cheap over here. But we have minimum wage to keep people from being exploited ((right)) Most people in this country now work by the contract. That way no benefits no insurance no retirement And as long as you work your ass off you can make a living..Don't get sick and don't get old or you are shit out of luck. The other way go to work for a big company and right before you get ready to retire they fire you. You lose all your benefits. This is the new America. The rich republicans are doing what they have always done. Instead of goons with guns and bats. Its just loop holes they put in the laws that allow them to do business this way. Maximum profits for them. No social conscience.
 And the company store Walmart yes they are putting all the small retailers out. and before long you will have no chose Then they can charge what ever they won't. Just like the company stores of old.
People are sheep they do what they are told.. They are taught that from the time they are little kids to do what you are told. This is a world wide problem and will have to be addressed before mankind can make any progress. Communism was Europe's answer in the 1900's even tho theoretically it makes sense in does not work in the real world. Because the thing it is suppose to get rid of greed is what destroys it. Greed and power destroyed Communism..We have to get away from money I know that is so hard because everyone thinks they are going to make it. Be rich and powerful and they do not want to do away with that vehicle. They could win the lottery..Or be a famous sports star  Or a rock star They use these dreams to keep you working. And playing their game...Make no mistake the pie is just so big and they will take every one's piece..If we let them.....      ((One mans Opinion))
                 

Long or short

The problem with the on going debate over the length of the putter shaft is a mute one. People kill people not guns. People make putts not putters. This is not rocket science. Its common sense. Not years of fooling people in to thinking you have to have a perfect swing to play  this game. It takes about two months to learn to hit a golf ball then the rest of your life to forget it and just do it..Golf is the most over coached game on this planet. To many gimmicks and gadgets and people who will tell you any thing for money or a lesson. There are about four guy's on tour that can use a long putter with success the rest use a standard length. You take there long putter away and in a year they will  be right where they are now. Its not the putter its the PLAYER that makes putts. His nerve. His will to win, pay his bills, feed his family these are the factor involved in making putts for a tour pro. And the club players their motivation is what ever they play for. Its not their livelihood.in most cases. So to take the long putter away would be just nothing. It will not change one thing. Just like the grooves did it change anything no.. Just another example of old people afraid of change. Everything evolves or it gets stagnant and dies.. That is what you should be afraid of. And lets face it golf is putting everyone learns to hit the ball. You can't score if you can't putt. So I think anything that will help people putt better is great for the game. Even though the long putter does not steady your hand or your nerves or keep you from coming up and pushing everything to the right. It would be great if it did but it don;t the same problems you have with the short putter will come out with the long after the two week honeymoon period. Its just like when you by a new driver for two weeks you are a God with it. Then you miss one and start looking and the honeymoon is over back to your old swing. Buy a long putter in a year you will be back to your old one. ha ha There is no magic bullet.. Sorry  One mans Opinion.
