Starbucks is closing a lot of stores. A customer wondered what other costs savings that Starbucks was implementing. 

Probably paying less for coffee beans. Forget fair trade coffee. Starbucks visits coffee fincas and says, "We can't pay you what we had been."

The coffee bean farmers then says,  "We'll then forget you. We'll sell to luck in coffee from China."

Ghost Town and Maestro are available on meta quest horizon plus. 

Ghost Town. The player steps onto a fishing boat. The interior. It's the greatest I've ever seen. Ever. Similar to and better than the fishing boat experience in A Fisherman's Tale. Actually, the fishing boat experience in AFT was over the top amazing. 

I wish that The RCMP ST Roch Voyage was available as a high quality VR app. I'd pay money for something like that.

The other free apps were forgettable. Some kind of space shooter. No shooter games are as good as Gun Club VR. 

Crisis Brigade 2, Drop Dead, Dead Second and Pistol Whip are the best. Every other one is Crap. Guns and Stories isn't too bad. All the rest are on the forget it level.

Starship Home. I'll give it a shot but what the heck. 

I'm taking the day off today. I did two unfamiliar areas which are more stressful for the brain than doing well known and usual areas. I removed weeds from near a supermarket yesterday. The weeds were bad and it would get worse in a month, two months etc. A lot worse. I removed them all. The weed takes at least a year to reach that size so it hadn't been removed for awhile. 

Exhaustion and old age is catching up with me. I don't have the energy like I used to. I have 80% the energy I used to. Just feeling kind of burned out. Slightly. It's at a manageable, even healthy level. A little bit of burnout is healthy.

This morning, google was down on my tablet. I couldn't access google at all. But now I can after I restarted my tablet. I thought google was down because of the US government shutdown. Talk about the brain painting a picture. 

US Gov is down. BCGEU is down and Canada Post is also on strike.

"Well, at least we still have half a ship." Ewan MacGregor, Revenge of the Sith

At least we still got half a country while the other half shuts down at 5 pm and also for half a year due to weekend and extended holidays.

Electronic Arts got bought out. Jared Kushner, Donald Trumps son in law who was pretty good in Deadpool part 2 is one of the principal shareholders. The biggest non hostile corporate takeover in history at $57 billion, but don't quote me on that. 

Worried, I checked to see if Need for Spped Most Wanted and Need for Speed No Limits is still available in the android tablet. It is. 

That's not how takeovers work. Pepsi owns Burger King. Burger King is still operating as its own autonomous entity. 

Ford owns Porsche and Jaguar. They are still operating as their own auto-nomous, no pun intended, entities. 

Doctor Jane Goodall dies at age 91. I'm glad she wasn't done in like Dianne Fossey or that she didn't die of a Gordy's Home from the movie Nope related incident. For awhile there I'm sure some of us were wondering. 

She was one of the best. She was really good at observing and interpreting complex chimp behaviour while most people would look and see nothing out of the ordinary. 

There are two chimp species, the chimpanzee and the bonobo. The bonobo is the more gentle species and is the onky chimp species which practices a type of socialization where bonobos rub each others genitals as a calming move. Chimpanzees routinely hunt and eat bonobos. I wonder which species Dr Jane Goodall worked with. 

Floyd is the only chimpanzee of her troop whose name I can remember. If Jane Goodall were Bruce Lee, Floyd would be like Unicorn Chan as he's the only one from Bruce Lee's Cantonese opera troupe whose name I can remember. 

Observing a chimpanzee's life cycle isn't rocket science. It grows up and learns to forage, even learns to haul termites out of their mounds using twigs which unfortunately is the extent of their technological prowess. Then it fights with other males to get the attention of a female. Hooks up with a female and then it has chimps of presumably its own as female chimps can be quite promiscuous. It forms bonds with some chimps while avoiding certain others. Etc etc 

Doctor Jane Goodall got a PhD for that. 

A person observing gorillas for a PhD thesis can scoop some of Dr Jane Goodalls notes 

and basically substitute the word chimp for gorilla, paraphrase it here and there a little, and then hand it in and get a PhD doctoral dissertation. They behave pretty much the same. 

I hate escape rooms. When you solve one puzzle you get another puzzle more difficult than the last. I hope that if an RCMP St Roch VR app is released that it isn't an escape room. Ghost Town is horrible. Everyone involved with the St Roch died peacefully. There are no reports of that ship being haunted. 

Halloween is ghost stories season. Watching ghost hunting videos will for some reason, give a person an anxiety disorder. Too much weird forces. 

A couple, a man and a woman shot dead a grizzly bear on Texada Island. It was known as Tex. I could understand their line of thinking. Kill the bear before the bear kills others. However, just as England has its anti poaching laws, only a Conservation Officer can legally shoot a bear. Conservation Officers are like the 007 of the forest. 

That bear could have been gentle, like Gentle Ben. It would have been a roast if a gentle bear like Gentle Ben was shot. The bear was going to be relocated within a week. That is absolutely Satanic for the bear since it was going to be relocated. 

What gun did they use? Did they use a .303 aka a three aught three? 

A person who turns up in an island asking questions about someone who was killed usually get killed themselves. What if that someone was an animal, a bear? What if the question is, "Was the bear gentle like Gentle Ben or was it feral?"  Residents would probably tolerate such a question and answer,  "If there was a ferocity scale, the bear was at about a five out of ten. To use movies, not Cocaine Bear, but certainly not Gentle Ben." 

In the afterlife, the bear would get a download of understanding knowing it was going to be relocated. Would such knowledge cause the bear to remain in the forest as a ghost? That would be a ghost story for the area. Cocaine bear. Ghost bear. Halloween. 

Vampire The Masquerade Justice VR is available for free on meta Horizons plus. Beautiful spectacular scenery. A paper chase. Obfuscating. Confusing. Hassle hassle hassle. Motion sickness. Convoluted. Cerebral. VR Golf is way better. Golf Plus has better golf courses and better physics. Golf Plus has the 2025 BMW championship! BMW and Rolex are represented! Caves Valley golf course in Maryland. Which would count as a Hail Mary pass. 

I'm thinking of suggesting to my Polish neighbour that he could bring along his meth head hooker girlfriend with him on a trip to Poland. He would probably say something cryptic like, "Bringing a meth head to Poland is like bringing coals to Newcastle." 

Nosferatu. Robert Eggers. Previously sold for $25. Too pricey. Was on sale once for $12. Hesitated. Missed out. Then today, is on sale for an unheard of $9 for a Robert Eggers movie. What the hell, another nail in the financial coffin. I wonder if I'll be solvent ever again. 

I hesitated again because of the dark subject matter. Seeing the trailer again, I was reminded of what an over the top spectacular movie this is. Robert Eggers is a genius. His next movie is his reimagining of The WolfMan. 

I can and will pay this off. I'm wondering how. At this rate. My objective is to save money.

Nosferatu wasnt a Spur of the moment purchase. I thought of the movie for months. 

I am experiencing mild anxiety because of my inability to curb my movie addiction. If there's any consolation, it's better than having a crack cocaine addiction. I am not that far gone. I turned down The Twilight Zone for $8 even though its a Spielberg movie. It's one of my least favorite Spielberg movies. Cheesy. Low grade. Desultory. Not worth $8. I would get it if it was $1. Some DVDs at stores are sold for $1. I've gotten quite a few. One time I got Saturday Night Fever on DVD for $1. I hadn't seen the movie for years when I got that DVD. Twilight Zone is trash. To think, thatt for $1 more instead, I got Nosferatu from Robert Eggers. YouTube offers premium platinum grade spackling high definition. This movie needs to be experienced in high definition. As I wrote before, the vampire is a rather offsetting salacious lurid repugnant repellant entity. It wouldn't be much of a movie vampire of it wasn't. What the heck. You pays your money and takes your chances. 

I fear the future. 

The News showed Tilly Norwood, an AI actress. I've heard of Sherlock Hmes The Norwood Builder but this is ridiculous. 

I knew this would happen one day. A person could do a good AI movie. I saw The Game of Death recreated with AI. One scene was George Lazenby as a Zen master in Japan sweeping the cobblestone of a garden wearing a blue robe of a Zen master. He instructed Bruce Lee about something to do with martial arts. Amazing. 

There was an AI Game of Death fight scene that a different uploader did. Comments vilified the fight scenes and were unanimous in their opprobrium. I thought some moments of the fight scenes were better than real life. But it was ridiculous. Bruce Lee appeared to have multiple arms all elasticky and teleporting through his head. High error rate or what? AI has a long way to go. 

Tilly Norwood looks amazing. Some slight micro error rates but I hope AI doesn't replace human actors. That would be damned. 

Forget the Hollywood dynasty of nepotism. Sophie Coppola is the daughter, Nicholas Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. 

Forget the Stanislav method of method acting. The Juiliard School of acting vs the Joliette school of cooking. That's all out the window with AI.

Forget about material success. The panacea, the riding off into the sunset happily ever after. A person will never get that under the physics of this dimension. 

Forget any memes of success that are completely wrapped up in this set of dimensional physics. 

The number one goal is to pass my life review despite what circumstance life gives me be it living in a welfare rooming house or in a five star hotel. 

To develop the personality is to pass the life review 

- say a prayer of blessing and protection for everyone you ever met even or especially the bad people. Jesus taught this. 

- thank God for wherever you are. Cherry pick the little luxurious aspects around the edges in your life and thank God for them. 

- enjoy enjoy enjoy yourself today. 

- don't wish for the afterlife. Fully embrace and be all in with this dimension. 

- and most of all remember that even with the most stressful problems, even a life saturated with bonkers delinquents, full of Murphy's Law type defective situations such as anything that can go wrong will go wrong and there's always one more @sshole than you thought there would be situations, life has a way of going really quickly. 

- to try to be successful, to do anything, while struggling under the physics of this dimension is quite the existential juggling act. 

- one must make allowances for the limitations of the physics of this dimension. 

At old age homes and also the News showed children holding robotic emotional support pets. They are like Furbys. 

To build a robotic support animal that would satisfy me as something adequate would need 

1. A metallic skeleton to start with. Make a 3D printed ceramic, not metal Guinea pig skull, then a vertebrae and a ribcage. With all pets, you can feel the ribcage slightly. Hopefully slightly, if more than slightly it means it's starving. Then pelvis and legs. 

If the pet in question is a dog or a cat or a hamster, get on it. 

2. It needs to have an electric heated core at about 17 - 20 degrees Celsius which is average body temperature. If it's not get a doctor to set the temperature. 

A pet has warmth. Three dog night. 

3. A haptic setting for whenever it purrs, for cats and Guinea pigs. They purr. And realistic sound effects in sync with the haptic. 

I expect to see something like this in ten years. If not, someone should be a graduate from MIT or else BCIT, get a government grant and get on it. Or someone from China could knock something like this out. 

AI pets don't grow so specify age, a kitten or a cat. 

Electronic pet. You don't have to walk it, feed it, clean up or provide a litterbox and no trips to the vet and no final ending. An AI pet can last indefinitely. 

The sky's the limit. A person can get a Great Dane but that would be pricier due to the extra materials involved. A Dalmatian. Something mind-blowing. 

Get electronic robot fish. Something impossible in real life due to difficulty of care and it being poisonous like a lion fish. Plus an electronic lion fish can light up from the inside. How spectacular is that? 

There is a stuffed dog robotic companion on Amazon for $200. It's recommended for adults with dementia and it won the 2017 Dementia Caregivers Award. 

$200 is pricey. It has an electronic heartbeat. That's going above and beyond. 

If I had money, I'd get it. 

Cute. The $200 robotic companion. For adults with dementia. 

The cat is $217. From the Ageless Innovation Company, same as with the dog. 

It responds to touch. It won awards. I'd rather have a cat. 

Moflin is a small Guinea pig. It costs $430. That's because it has 4 million emotional responses powered with proprietary technology. It's from Casio. 

Tomorrow, the Toronto Blue Jays play in the first in a best of five of the World Series. 

Is baseball more like football or hockey? 

Answer: Football. In football, the teams go in alternating defense and then offense modes. Same with baseball. Whereas in hockey, the teams are simultaneously in defense and offense mode all the time. 

I'm watching the game. I have popcorn and coffee. Coffee with only sugar, no milk. I'm trying to save money so I won't get milk all the time. 

Hockey has 3 periods. Football has 4 quarters. Baseball has 9 innings. 

All not counting overtime. 

I'm watching a movie called Knowing starring Nicholas Cage. It's about a girl who writes a bunch of numbers on a piece of paper as her contribution to a time capsule buried for 50 years. Nicholas Cage gets hold of it 50 years later and it turns out to be location's in latitude and longitudinal degrees and then date, and then number of people dead. It goes into the future in which Nicholas Cage will try to prevent that event thus saving lives. This sounds like the prophecy of Fatima. There are elements of that. 40 minutes in. It feels like I watched nearly the entire thing. So there's much more to the story. Nicholas Cage attempts to contact that girl but she died a few years ago. 

Knowing is better than The Happening which is an M Night Shyamalan movie which is supposed to have a twist. So weird. Select people everywhere freeze, walk backwards and then off themselves. So strange. Mark Wahlberg tries to solve the mystery. It was so weird I couldn't watch any more after half an hour. I should persist onward for the twist ending. 

Milk. In coffee. The milk of a animal in coffee. What a strange culture. 

The milk of an ungulate which is what a cow is. It has horns growing out of its head. 

So do deer. Are horns made of calcium like bone? Wrong. Horns are made of keratin. But don't quote me on that.. Keratin is the same stuff that fingernails are made of. 

So they got not one but two fingernails growing out of their head. Oh, wonderful! 

And I thought I had problems. 

They sure drew the shirt end of nature's genetic lottery. That's downright depressing. 

Doe a deer, a female deer, 

Ray, a drop of golden sun...

At the Palestine Protest, I saw five people dressed all in red. What was that. It looked very fantastic like from a fantasy. 

I went to Shoppers today to get root beer, whipping cream for the luxurious tea with cream and sugar, a pad Thai on sale and ketchup because ketchup is needed for mapo tofu. Mapo tofu needs oyster sauce and ketchup. Sesame oil is optional but would be nice. Garlic is needed. Ginger and green onion are optional but would be nice. Green peas are optional but would be nice but the peas need to be fresh or else risk gastro intestinal disorders of a profound nature. Cooking for oneself, one has to have the skills of a legendary chef. Bay leaf, sugar, truffle salt, are all essential ingredients. Olive oil is a gourmet ingredient. Mapo tofu with a hint of truffle salt would be just exquisite. 

I've eaten quite a few egg custard. Eating one egg custard that I made for myself is like quickly eating a dozen Chinese egg tarts. There's that over abundance of egg and sugar and custard flavor. I add a dash of caramel which makes all the difference. Evaporated milk, whipping cream or regular milk can be used.

Today I got Rhaenys Targaryen on Game of Thrones Legends. 

"When the desire to burn and kill has taken hold, reason is forgotten.". Rhaenys Targaryen 

Star Wars pod racer is released tomorrow at 9am. No first person view. Strangely similar to Need for Speed No Limits. It has a full immersive VR mode where the player is a spectator during cutscenes between ppdrscer which is done on either a VR or Mr racing track which is more like a conveyor belt set to very fast. 

Expected Price, $27.99 Canadian which converts from $19.99 US. Its worth it for the cut scenes and for Star Wars. But it looks to be kind of like Alex and the Jets VR. A&JVR has a good structure. But the graphics are so repellent that it made me nearly want to vomit. 

If Alex and the Jets was a World War planes theme and realistic looking, I'd get that in a second. World War 2 planes, jet era is also really really spectacular and would be most anticipated. Whether or not that ever happens. 

The new Star Wars VR has an MR set ip where a player can collect ships and robots and turn their play space into a MR Star Wars museum. That's worth it for the price. 

Just about everyone in the comments section complained that there is no first person view. I mean really. I'm crestfallen. 

Today, I swept the grounds of the courthouse. Gerichtsgebäude Gelände unterstützen. 

That my job. 

The BCGEU marched to the Legislative Building grounds. There was over 5,000 people there. 

And the NDP, the Party in power is ostensibly the pro-Union Party and the strike has no end in sight. Which leaves me wondering what the BCGEU strike would look like with a Conservative government. 

There is a new Centrist Party in BC called the One BC Party. Is this a fly by night venture or does this actually have legs? Legs is the clear and visible viscous drops of whiskey running down along the inside of a whiskey glass which is a sign of really fine whisky. 

Since this is a Centrist Party, will Elenore Sturko join them? The One BC Party isn't the Official Opposition which means it isn't as powerful. 

All those union protestors at the Legislative grounds reminds me of the crowd with pitchforks and torches at the windmill where Frankenstein was. 

The strike will run its course. Eventually. Some deal will be hammered out. 

There is a strike. A major one. What if it triggers an election and then the right wing anti union Party gets elected. Then the BCGEU would really be f*cked. Would it be a tactical error to strike surfing the administrative term of a Left Wing Pro Union Party versus striking when the anti Union Party is in power? In which case if an election is called a pro Union Party is elected which is what we got here. Talk about a vicious cycle! 

The standard scientific models of time are either eternalism which gives way to fatalism in which all past and present and future already exists in a box. And presentism which gives way to determinism in which the present moment is the only thing that exists. 

Four models of time 

- L(n)r T(m)  - Linear time - the riparian structure of linear time. 

- T(m) Tr(v)l  - Time travel 

- T(m) Dl(tn)  - Time dilation

- R(v)r T(m), R(v)r En(tr) - Reverse time or reverse entropy 

Are eternalism and presentism mutually exclusive? Perhaps it's some kind of mixture of the two. A strange chronological temporal based bestial coupling. 

Debbie Hellion uploaded a video today of her and Daisy at The Dollar Store. One of the toys being sold, on a shelf was the game VENN, as in Venn diagrams. Like all countries are a Venn diagram of cross military allegiances. 

Eternalism and presentism are two separate circles that merge to some extent like a Venn diagram. Where they intersect, you get things like seeing ghosts which are entities that exist on the Eternalism dynamic of time visiting someone on Earth existing on the presentism dynamic of time. Plus things like the double slot experiment, shroeingets cat, time travel. All these exist on the inspecting region of presentism and Eternalism also known as, The Twilight Zone. 

Today I got the Airport Security Guard VR app. The player is a security guard. Waves a wand over passengers. Removes items. Opens suitcase through conveyor belt. Checks pictures of passengers on wanted list. Passports are then stamped with approved or rejected. Gets quite repetitive but there is the quasi experience of being an airport security guard. I like the game so much I got the National Secutiry pack which features upgraded more modern airport and more dangerous passengers and bomb diffusion. Four different colored wires. A Simon Says type game shows up. Remember the flashing color sequence once to diffuse the bomb. I also go the Zombie level which is a post apocalyptic airport with half living and half zombie passengers. 

This is extremely similar to I Am Security. 

- National Security Level, on sale, $5

- Extra tactical weapons - $2

- Zombie level $7 

Got them all. The National Security and Zombie are completely different worlds. More variety. In the National Security level, as the levels advance, things like narcotics and drugs show up on the scanner and its up to the secutiry guard to make the right choice which is to stamp rejected in their passport. 

I Am Security. Nightclub patrons show up. The security guard uses a scanner, x ray device to check the patrons. In AirPort Security, the secondary check is the luggage check. In I Am Security, the secondary check is done with th. Xray machine. Unrealistic. 

Do nightclub bouncers use xray machines? Airport Security is enough. It gets quite repetitive. It's not a game you could play indefinitely like Gun Club VR or Golf or World War Airplanes. 

This kind of screws up my budget as I was having to get Srar Wars beyond Victory. 

Talk about your stationary shooter. Airport Security VR, no moving around or teleporting. The player just stands in one place. Turning around 360 is possible. Just no walking any steps. 

I really like it and liked it the first moment I played. A security guard is a good job. It's a way to make a good salary but a person needs courage and needs to be somewhat intimidating. 

If given a choice, I'd much rather be an airport security guard than a nightclub security guard. Airports are respectable places, well lit, are more intellectual in nature since it involves travel and many languages. Nightclubs are rather somewhat sleazy, subdued grottos, can be rather prurient and salacious compared to airports. People of all ages show up at airports. It's a very family oriented place. Nightclubs just have a narrow age group. 

Airports represent an avenue of escape from a boring backwater town. 

Nightclubs represent an avenue of digging one's heels in and being stuck even further in a boring backwater town. 

Drinks at nightclubs are way overpriced whereas food at airports are only just somewhat overpriced. 

I can't wait for Star Wars. Less than 12 hours to go. Even at $28 plus tax, I'll get it. It looks really nice. 

I might take the day off tomorrow. It's a self volunteer job anyways. I take days off whenever a really hot new VR app is released. 

I'm shaking with unbelief. I got Tron Legacy, regular price $23, for $5 on sale. I scooped this one up in a second! Tron Legacy?! One of the greatest movie ever made. Ever. 

Tron Legacy looks visually delicious on YouTube high definition. 

Tron Legacy on YouTube is available in regular and alternates to IMAX screen aspect ratios in certain scenes! I didn't know that YouTube did that. 

I wrote a comment and then deleted it because I knew I'd get it anyways. I wortoe. 

"Don't get. YouTube doesn't do alternate regular and IMAX ratios." 

I'm glad to say that I'm wrong. Completely wrong. This is much better than expected. 

As ever, I am beating myself up for having spent money on VR apps. 

Well, some people are aficionados. They are fans of stuff. 

VR is art. It is experience. Money on VR apps is better than money on crack cocaine. 

I would go to a restaurant in the old days and have a meals with the tips sometimes being $7 or more and I didn't give a second thought to it. Nowadays with every $5 increment out of my already dwindling savings, I am mulling it over like Robin Williams as Sy Parrish in One Hour Photo when he sat on that sofa in the Walmart showroom for an hour with his head in his hands just mulling over the crestfallen nature of his abrupt dismissal from the Walmart Firm. Should I mull over $5 and beat myself up over that? 

A lady once told me,  "Even if you can't quit smoking, don't beat yourself up over that." 

It's actually the $14 plus tax that I absconded and garnished on AirPort Security that I am feeling somewhat despondent over. $14 plus tax certainly isn't the end of the world. I shall just have to crack on. Just not in the cocaine way. 

AirPort Security. I loved it the moment I first played it. I love airports. I always wanted to work there. As a janitor. But airport security pays more and isn't as physically tedious. 

There are two types of extremes of airport security guards and those who mostly fall somewhere in between. There is the rockstar who gets all the women. And then there is the fat overweight pot bellied security guard who lives alone with his mother. But often these security guards are the intellectuals, the geeks. They are all very efficient at their jobs. 

Regular level. Nice modern airport. 

International Security. More upgraded and more modern airport. 

Zombie level. The Walking Dead but not onky that, TWD just after a nuclear war. The entire airport has a very grunge look, to put it mildly. 50% of the boarding pass gets are regular people. The other 50% are zombies. How could I not get that? 

When the security checks are successful, the airplane takes off and the chief security guard gives a thumbs up and sometimes dances. 

When the check is unsuccessful and a passenger was mistakenly let on who was either wanted or was carrying some illicit item that you as the secutiry guard overlooked, tsk tsk, the plane takes off, and explodes. And the entire airport is upset. 

If the security guard doesn't diffuse the bomb properly, the bomb goes off, there is a News report on television about it. The only casualty is the secutiry guard who despite this, survives to work yet alone shift, to play another level. And that security guard is you, the player. 

In Airport Security VR, the player gets points on speed and time. Check them all in before the plane takes off. Unrealisitc. In real life, airport security guards are indifferent to the time it takes so a person must show up on time well before the plane takes off otherwise its not the secutiry guards problem at all if the plane takes off during your pre flight security check. 

In the West, it is best if you are tall to be a security guard. 

With the VR app, there are no height or age requirements. Also no mental or psychological requirements. Unlike with real life. 

In other parts of the World, one doesn't have to be as tall to be security or Police. And in other parts of the World, the large Harley Davidson motorcycles aren't always ridden. It's often the rice rockets, Japanese motorcycles. BMW motorcycles are also ridden and would be my first premium choice if I ever got a motorcycle. My motorcycle needs to be no larger than 4 cylinders, 300 cc's. Any larger than that and a person must be tall and muscular for best and optimal results in handling. I refuse to get a one or a two cylinder motorcycle. Three cylinders, undecided. If one cylinder fails, then you have the others to fall back on. But not with a one cylinder motorcycle. 

There is no way I could start as a security guard at 55 years old. Usually secutiry guards who are old started when they were young. 

As Vincent said in the movie The Black Hole quoting Einstein, 

"There are bold pilots and there are old pilots. But there are very few old and bold pilots." 

Wednesday night 7:00. Silvercity IMAX. Tron Ares will premiere. It's a $20 with tax ticket. Pricey. 

More pricey. It's only in 3D on opening night. 3D is $22 plus tax. Regular IMAX is $16 plus tax. 

I want to talk about the expected premise of Tron Ares. The digital world is coming to Earth. The Bible said, "May His will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." 

May the perfection of kingdom of God be brought to Earth. May the physics of the afterlife be brought to Earth. This started a long time ago with telephones and in an even more extreme way with live television. Teleportation. Elon Musk Neural ink will enable people to have limited telepathy with one another. Debit card and credit card cashless societies which was predicted years ago with the advent of credit cards. Flying to another country on board the Concorde which went at nearly twice the speed of conventional commercial airliners. My dentures with my teeth looking so perfect and young. These are all examples of the physics of the other dimension coming to Earth. Also more so with VR which has teleportation, time travel, getting shot or falling off cliffs and still being alive and perfectly healthy. This is all God's kingdom visiting Earth. Tron Ares talks about this. One day humans will be living in boxes that are empty rooms with some furniture with VR goggles strapped to their face 24 hours a day. Ai will decide the specific little details of what they see every day. Movies with a cast of thousands - of all AI actors and actresses and extras. AI will drive their cars without steering wheels. Which will be the biggest fundamental change to vehicles since the horse less carriage. The steering wheeless electronic AI driven car. The driverless car. Tron Ares, baby. 

Driving is a hassle anyways. Once the novelty wears off, it becomes a chore. Traffic jams are always lovely. Just lovely. 

An AI driven car would never get a traffic infraction ticket for anything. Ever. 

Some might prefer this life. That's the premise of Tron Ares with the grid coming ming to Earth just like Aliens and Pedator made a visit to Earth. Just like the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park escaped from the island and visited cities on the mainland. 

Evening Catholic Sacraments Ceremony at the local Church is on live at YouTube. The ceremony takes place in a part of the building I've never been to. I love watching this because it exemplifies pure goodness. It is a very calming show which I love. 

The movie Here is a bildungsroman which is an epic movie or story that takes place over decades. I watched it once in IMAX VR. I even sat at a seat off center so as to recreate a more realistic movie theatre experience. 

I don't know if I could watch it more than once. The movie stayed with me. It's a epic story of a house over the years. Life goes fast. What once seemed so permanent become distant memories of the past. It's a great movie. 

I got Downton Abbey The Royal Visit the other day for $8 on sale which I only beat myself up a little for. I think I paid that off on my crddit card last month anyways so problem over. 

There is a final, I doubt it, Downton Abbey movie which was recently released. 

Highclaire Castle which is Downton Abby's real name was formerly the home of Lord Carnarvon who financed Howard Carter's trip to Egypt. Nice digs, I mean the house, as well as the archeological trip to Egypt. For the movie only the exterior scenes were shot at the Castle. The interior scenes were done in a studio. In real life at one time, in the cellar of Highclaire Castle were lots of Egyptian artifacts. King Tut's tomb had so many artifacts it took ten years to clear the tomb! 

Howard Carter told the Carnarvon of the find. The Carnarvons said they'd be there right away which back then was three weeks. Imagine in today's instantaneous wireless download internet age, and raving on a jet plane, waiting three weeks for anything. 

One of the Carnarvon descendants still lives there. 

Interesting so does one of the descendants of Jacob Fuggerei who lives at the Fuggerei village. The rent is $1 a year. My rent is cheaper at $0 a year since it's entirely government subsidized. But they live in a middle class set up whereas I live in a lower class set up. I work sweeping the streets but not for no money as welfare pays me. Others are fine with collecting welfare and not doing anything at all for society in return. I choose to work. So I am paid. The work additionally saves me money from smoking or else going shopping. 

Highclaire Castle had been in a state of ruin for several years with many of the rooms uninhabitable due to wear and tear and damage over time. The television series and the movie helped refinance the ongoing renovations to the castle.

I got Star Wars Beyond Victory. $26.99 - - - - > $30.23 with tax. What the hell. I'm looking forward to this. 

"It is nothing without the loop."  The Simpsons

It is nothing without first person view. 

The pod racing segment gives me massive motion sickness. Unbearable. Awful. I felt really sick. I think shrinking the table can reduce motion sickness. I'll give that a shot. Steering the actual podracer with any kind of accuracy is impossible. Near impossible. 

Very strange. Indeed. I got Alex and the Jets for free. It just said Get and Install which I did. Amazing. 

In the Airport Secutiry VR app, if a passenger refuses to leave, the security guard can use an array of items, truncheon, pepper spray, punching bag, even the electro metal detector wand used to inspect passengers and then wave them through. I am always quickly using these things almost sadistic ally hitting the uncooperative passengers like an orc dealing a Gondorian soldier a single chop in Lord of the Rings The Third Age Gba in a move to further expedite the passenger's removal. 

In real life, though, the security manager at the airport would bring me aside and say, "I wouldn't be so hasty in hitting passengers. You don't know who they are. One one end, they could be a gang leader and you have to ask yourself, "How far are you prepared and able to take it and how far and able is the other person?"  A gangster is prepared to kill someones family and burn their house too. To quote Rhaenarys Valeryon, "When the desire to kill and burn takes hold, reason is forgotten."  Are you prepared and willing to take it that far? And on the other end, that person could be a Police Officer of some rank from... Where ever. That person can and will make direct threats on your career. They Wil usually say, "Do you know who you're dealing with?"  We get that all the time here at the airport." 

And also, 

Tom Hanks as Victor Naworski: "Fear?"

AirPort Security Manager: "Fear." 

Tom Hanks as Victor Naworski:  "Fear?" 

AirPort Security Manager: "Fear."

The Terminal

This quote, Fear? fear, fear? fear, which I quote out loud just about every day is another reason I got the airport security guard app. It just resonates with me. 

So there's no hitting the departing passengers. What about zombies, aren't they the departed departing passengers? 

Fear comes from the R-complex, limbic system. In the afterlife, one is no longer connected to any of that but if a person is going to hell, they would experience a spiritual fear and that cuts deeper than R-complex produced based fear. 

One day, in the future, I will get the I Am Security app. Working as a nightclub security. 

In real life, a person must be a weight-lifter and an MMA fighter to be a good nightclub bouncer. Then during a nightclub fight, the bouncer gets into it majorly, doing gymnastics and Jedi moves. Then the Police show up to the nightclub. That would be major. 

I'm committing to no more than three or four days a week of working. Today is a day off. I often take Tuesdays off. 

Holy Crap! In Surrey-Whalley, a person ran into the Police station and started shooting a gun! Did you ever see the movie Cop Shop? The movie stars Toby Huss who I think is a genius. Toby Huss was good in Fatal Attraction, the television series with Joshua Jackson of Dawson's Creek. 

Unquestionably, the suspect got busted. 

Also the VR app Crisis Brigade 2. On one of the levels, a group of criminals break into the Police station where you are standing. There are other Police Officers there as well. Shoot the criminals to protect the other Police Officers who sometimes get shot but sometimes you actually are really successful and none of them get shot. If really unsuccessful, they all become Officer Downs. Wretched. It's a video game. Who greenlights these video games? How did that get past the censors? 

Star Wars Beyond Victory is simply incredible. The adventure mode makes it great. Star Wars virtual reality dioramas. I miss my sweetness, Heather. She and I were into Star Wars. I will always love her. I will love her every day for the rest of my life. 

Canadian PM visited Trump in Washington DC. During the meeting, They were discussing trade tariffs. Trump was going on about a lady, Crockett, who is a popular political commentator who Trump thought has a low IQ. Way to stay on topic. As Trump was saying this, Carney made a stern face to one of the Canadian delegates as if saying, "It's OK. This was more or less expected."

As it seems, the Natives aren't a culture that just mostly talks about their being hard done by and then asking for a renumeration, a stipend. 

The News is. 

Mostly when the News mentions Natives, they are always endlessly talking about their indignities suffered and just about never mentioning their achievements or greet people in their culture who made important scientific discoveries. There are some. 

If it bleeds it leads. 

What do you expect from the same media outlet that whenever they mention children they always talk about them being victims of some unspeakable degradation. Or else it's children dying of some rare disease in hospitals. Again, what about children who win prizes in science fairs or children who saved the life of other children or adults. 

No one escaped untsrred from the brush of the News. Even White people. When the News talks about them, it's usually about them f*king up somehow in politics or else they're homeless sleeping in a tent smoking meth all the time, or else having done some crime and now crimestoppers is looking for them. With White people, they get more of a fair shake. There are plenty of stories of accomplishments of White people on the News such as US President Donald Trumps latest fiery screed, Israel Prime Minister orders another city block in Gaza bombed in his attempts towards the advancement civilization, of course. Russian President Vladimir Putin has the Russian military attack Ukraine again. Those are White people achievements. Jimmy Kimmel got booted off but then he got reinstated so its not all shaming and bad news. 

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants the Keystone XL pipeline through BC to the Coast so Alberta and the premise is also the rest of Canada on a vicarious level selling that oil overseas as its loaded onto oil tankers like the Exxon Valdez. No, not like the Exxon Valdez! 

This is the same thinking that Charles Hayes who was the owner of the Grand Trunk Railway, and who died on the Titanic, used when he was thinking why carry output from a coal mine to a railway when you can build a railway right next to the coal mine? So why transport oil from Alberta to the coast in truck then to an oil tanker when you can offload the oil directly from the pipeline to the tanker? 

Of course our BC Premier David Eby is absolutely apoplectkc and livid and on television he had a level three meltdown when talking about the Alberta Premier's audacity. 

It doesn't take a legal eagle like Edward Greenspan to realize that such a venture would be yet another White Elephant. Legally, its a fine line between who actually has jurisdiction of that pipeline because no one would have 100%. The Popeline would be subject to BC Laws in areas where it runs through BC, a river runs through it, a pipeline runs through it. The pipeline wince it is an Albertan entity would also be subject to Albertan laws. And if it was a Universe, referring to Premier Smiths tweet, "In what Universe do you think..." where BC and Alberta had somehow come to some agreement about a pipeline, it would be a interProvincial anomaly. But since the good Premier of Alberta actually went to Ottawa and poked the Feds about it and the Feds are now involved that pipeline then becomes concurrently a Federal entity as well. 

So the pipeline will be a product of a BC-Alberta-Canada consortium. 

That pipeline would be subject to any Municipal Laws if it runs through the land of any cities but as the lion doesn't care about the opinions of sheep, the Provinces and the Feds don't really care that much. 

Such pipeline are notorious, that is, notorious vectors for organized crime to siphon from various points along the pipeline. 

This would be Canada's answer to the Nord Stream pipeline which connects Russia to Germany in the North Sea skipping past Ukraine. There are two pipelines, the NS1 and the NS2, the Nord Streams 1 and 2. 

The fight goes on. I've never seen the Premiers so animated. Let's just say that a few Premiers and the ex Premier of Alberta voiced their support for Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta. The Feds it seems are taking a calmer and more balanced approach holding their cards very close to the vest. 

I myself don't care. One way or the other. The pipeline gets built or not. Who cares? 

Donald Trump says climate change is bull and fossil fuels are the way to go. 

A few people have problems with EV mandates. Barry Penner who is a former politician on the Carole Taylor show said that the electricity would have be imported from the States. Canada would have to wind up importing $5.5 billion a year to start with, from the States. 

Ex-MLA Barry Penner said that the electricity required to power all the cars that the EV mandate requires which is 90% by 2030 and 100% by 2035 would be the equivalent of three Site-C dams and as it is the current one Site-C dam is producing less electricity than expected because of a drought. The three Site-Cs of electricity would come from the States. Wouldn't News like this freak out Alberta more than the pipeline? No. Because there is a connection. The pipeline anticipates the EV mandates so instead of selling all that fine Albertan light sweet crude to local markets increasing the GDP, it has no choice but to opt to sell to overseas markets thus increasing the GNP at the expense of the GDP. So all that money goes to Ottawa and Alberta instead of to the Provinces or else to that mysterious cabal known as the International Global Oligarchy. 

If the money goes to Ottawa, that generates national projects all across Canada so it does benefit all Provinces in some protracted for of usufruct. A rising tide lifts all boats. 

Again like in signing all these damned free trade deals, Canada signs another deal that benefits the US more than Canada because Canada has American moles in their government. Yet another convoluted product of the picareqsque physics of this dimension of which the benighted human species is also a product of. What can you expect? 

Why doesn't BC instead try to do one better and run a pipeline clear across Canada all the way to the shores of Atlantic Ocean which objective is to export wine to Europe, a pipeline 1 for White wine, a pipeline 2 for red wine and a pipeline 3 for Rosé. Resulting in a Sherlock Holmesian three pipe problem. Europeans would be indignant at that idea, saying in a European accent,  "Bringing wine to Europe is like bringing coals to Newcastle." And if you thought David Eby was angry about the idea of a oil pipeline across BC, how angry would all the other Premiers be at not one but three pipelines from BC as bacchanalian conduits running wine from BC to ships waiting to store the wine in oaken wine barrels and then shipping it off to Europe? I would think that they would be right angry! 

This points at a fundamental difference in approach. Dzvid Eby is a Left Wing politician. John Rustad is a Right Wing politician. Left Wing wants to lower to speed limit from 65 to 55. Right Wing wants heavier enforcement and heavier penalties. 

The Left Wing environmentalist politician would view an oil pipeline as an anathema. The Right Wing politician would agree to the pipeline but would also want guarantees regarding shared revenue and a minimal bottom line. 

And it seems that John Rustad agrees with the Alberta Premier. 

I can't wait to see how this sports game ends. Will the final score be

Smith - 1

Eby - 0

Or 

Eby - 1

Smith - 0? 

Pipeline - 1

Eby - 0,

Eby - 1

Pipeline - 0

I wonder what Vegas odds makers would make of this. 10 - 3 odds on the Alberta - BC oil pipeline not being built. The less likely something is, the higher the odds the bet and thus because of the insanity and risk of the gamble, the bigger the payout if you win. This means the public consensus and also the private sector consensus is that knowing government posturing and optics, the pipeline will most likely be built after lots of political deliberation and discourse. 

I want to take this opportunity to elucidate on microeconomics pertaining to see Tron Ares at the Silvercity IMAX. 

Ticket - $22

Bus fare round trip - $6 or 200 baht

Meal at Vietnamese restaurant, no soft drink just water plus tips - $23

THC diamond infused joint at on site legal cannabis retailer - $17

That's like $70 which would be astronomical. Even just the movie without the Vietnamese meal would be about $30 and I already blasted through $30 when I got Star Wars Beyond Victory. 

When I was young, I remember visiting people who had the best Star Wars toys. Now with VR adventure mode, I have the best Star Wars toys too. 

I wanted to say that the adventure level was the level which blew my mind and I would give it 100 stars out of ten. It's literally and not just figuratively that good. Strange that a lot of reviewers on YouTube didn't like the adventure level. What are they? On drugs or what? 

To quote Mark Hamill,  "It's got robots, it's got space battles, it's got a love story. What's not to like?" 

I wanted to say that but yesterday, I couldn't think of Star Wars without thinking of Heather. She gave me a lot of Star Wars toys for Christmas or birthdays. I feel really bad that I either threw away some of the toys or donated them to a local thrift store to clean my room and make space. Thinking of that breaks my heart. She wouldn't care a pin about those things. 

Don't worry about you can't take it with you. If a person makes it to heaven, they take it all with them. Remember that mixed tape in the eighties that you somehow lost? In the afterlife, think of it and it's already right there in your hand! 

Anyways I love Heather as much as life itself. I often wish that when she died, I died. Then me and her would be like the song,  "Just like Romeo and Juliet... just like, Romeo and Juliet." 

Anyways, I'm opting not to go to the 3D IMAX premiere of Tron Ares. Because of my financial situation or rather lack thereof. 

Elon Musk is a trillionaire. Anyways, sure, anyone who is rich can afford to go to the 3D IMAX Tron movie. Elon Musk is like Elon Dillinger just like Cillian Murphy is Edward Dillinger and Evan Peters is Julian Dillinger, Edward's brother. The Dillngers own the Tron corporation. CEO. 

Reviewers say that the story is all flash and no substance and that there is no connection between the stories of this Tron Ares movie and the previous Tron Legacy movie. Now Tron fans know what it feels like to be a Star Wars fan. 

There is controversy about the use of AI in movies. Tilly Norwood. 

The producers of Tron said the movie does not use AI, just human genersted CGI which is strange, for a movie on which the premise is entirely about AI. 

"Do I pay you for your opinions or do I pay you for hauling?"  Citizen Kane

Don't listen to my advice and don't listen to my writings. I'm just a self volunteered street custodian for the Courthouse. I dont have a University degree of any kind. 

I'm really not that smart. If I were smart, I'd have at least better housing let alone be a Millionaire. If money is the criteria, Elon Musk is the smartest man in the World. He is a trillionaire and is probably a humanoid alien of the Nordic race. Google that. 

Dunning-Kruger effect. 

I've spoken to people who boasted of University degrees and all conversations with them were boring and didn't go beyond a grade five vocabulary. Some people BS about their University degrees, for sure. 

Men on welfare will BS about having been in the military but also more and more they will BS about University. 

Women on welfare will BS about University but also more and more they will BS about having been in the military. 

Sign of the times. 

I refuse to BS about UBC. UVIC is acceptable as a worthy sibling to UBC which in my opinion is the finest University in the World in terms of heavenly vibes. 

UVIC is quite heavenly. I've gone there with Heather on a few occasions. 

UVIC has a movie theatre. 

On Big Screen VR, the Gallery cinema level has a theatre that looks like a UBC style and level of movie theatre. More UBC than UBC. 

And also the Residence level has an apartment that could be an apartment at the museum of anthropology. It is actually an apartment that resides in the deepest heaven. For anyone who doesn't have VR and know of the VR app called Big Screen VR, I might as well be speaking an alien language. Google Bigscreen VR and Gallery and Residence on Google Images. You'll see. 

Forget Elon Musk and Space X going to Mars. Due to innumerable problems, physics, radiation levels, human physiology, osteoporosis, and lack of gravity on Mars which is 38% of Earth gravity, everyone who goes there will be dead. For sure. 

Missing Pictures VR. There are five in a series. All free. These are like Star Wars Beyond Victory Adventure mode but a more down to earth prosaic version of that. The dioramas are stunning. One was a story of a young girl growing up in Malaysia. Very well done. Another was of someone growing up in Europe. 

One VR app I experienced called Guardian of Realms opens a large window in mixed reality in my room. Outside the window is the view of a cobblestone medieval courtyard and a large Church with the most beautiful stained glass windows. I was shocked at how beautiful it was. 

Someone commented on a YouTube video of a trailer of a Gene Hackman movie. 

The comment said, 

"RIP Gene Hackman I will always respect your body of work."

I thought of, but would not dare and besides, why bother someone with a comment that reads,  "RIP I will always respect your body of cock, I mean cork, I mean work."

Lol

Today, the News said that the striking BCGEU workers get about $390 a week in strike pay, so basically a fraction of minimum wage. The union leader said that the pockets of the strike fund is deep and they can extend the strike indefinitely. Really? At the rate of $390 a week which is what a disabled person gets on welfare. So, complain that the government isn't paying you enough so the solution is to go on strike indefinitely, it's been weeks now with today, now 100% of liquor store workers and cannabis retail staff will be subsisting on the largesse of $390 a week.

"Running on empty."  Jackson Browne 

Antlers. 2021. Producer Guillermo del Toro. 

A Native legend. Horror movie. Spectacular cinematography. On sale on YouTube for $5. 

Strange movie. A trio of people who are wild and feral love in the attic of a child's house. 

The child daily feeds the feral beastly people taking great care to avoid their snarling jaws. Talk about Stockholm Syndrome. 

His mother is also his schoolteacher. 

His father died. One of the wild feral people killed him. His father worked at a meth lab which would make career day at school very interesting. That is, before the father died. 

"What do your parents do?" 

"Oh. Uh, my father's a cook... at a meth lab."

"I wouldn't be telling that to the class."

Meanwhile one of the classmates has Police Officers and with rank as parents. 

"What did you learn at carrier day in school today?"

"So and so's father works at a meth lab."

"Oh really. That's so and so's child. We'll have to look into that. Ha ha. We've had several dealings with the father."

That would then unravel very quickly. 

Again, strange movie.

We all love the BCGEU. 

I just hope the government doesn't say, " Look, we'll give you your 4% raise that you're asking for. In a flat rate per year and it only works if you streamline 25% of your workforce otherwise it would average to a 3% raise. It works out mathematically."

I hope that a lot of people don't get laid off, collect EI, forced to seek other unionized employment even in other Provinces resulting in some kind of a brain drain. 

As Sherlock Holmes said, "I speak of my hopes, not my expectations." 

At the probation office, 40% of probation officers are on strike! Same with the Courthouse as several Court clerks, stenographers and other support workers. And they are essential services otherwise 100% would be on strike. 100% of Library workers are on strike. I guess it's not deemed an essential service even though people on the streets depend on the library public internet computers for seeking employment and for keeping in contact with family. 

The BCGEU aren't just workers, they're family. But so is the government. A dysfunctional family? All families are a work in progress so the story is never finished. 

BC is a rarefied Province as certain industries are public sector government monopolies such as ICBC auto insurance whereas in other Provinces, auto insurance is left to competitive private sector entities. So auto insurance actuarial claims and indemnities adjudicators are unionized Provincial government workers in BC whereas in other Provinces they would not be.

To play the game of Delusions of Reference right and successfully and get 500 points in watching the News, whenever the News brings up a name, what's in a name a rose by any other name, that name can't be an isolated name, no, no. It has to, that is, has to be a name of someone that you know now or knew in the past even if its someone you last saw when you were a child. And it can't be the name of a person who didn't do anything to you let alone a good person with that name. It has to be a reference to someone with the same name who did something sh*t to you. 

Whenever I travel to another town and watch the News there, I also think that they are daily making subtle references to me. Now that I'm not living in those towns, would those News stations still be making references to me? Probably. Especially if I watch archived News broadcasts of any given day in the past that I missed. I would most likely see a reference to me in some fit of random data cluster phenomenon. 

News corporations in other towns and countries that I never heard of, would they be making references to me? Who knows? It does happen to some people. Very famous people like Trump, Elon Musk, The King of England. 

I am a person who is living in a rooming house. Every time anyone thinks of the News, they're thinking of media broadcast entities that daily make references to certain people living in rooming houses. 

This would be as ridiculous as if I asked a neighbour and the neighbour said, "No, the News never makes secret references to you because it's me that they're daily making secret references to." 

And then a third neighbour shows up and says,  "No, you're both wrong, the News never makes secret hidden about either of you that only either of you and nobody else could see because it's me that they're making subtle references about and on a daily basis!" 

Strange that the News corporations never sent me a letter,  "We want to meet you. What News corporation wouldn't want to meet the denizens living in a rooming house that they've secretly been making references about daily for what, decades now." 

I could ask anyone on the street. "Do you think that the News ever makes secret references to you because I think they are making references about me?" You would get either one of two answers

- no. Never. You have to be schizophrenic to think that. 

- Oh yeah, all the time. They're referring to me every day. Oh no, they wouldn't ever be referring to you when it's me they're always referring to and on a daily basis using the names of people I met in the past.

In China, there are only about a hundred surnames. Events in China where people of the same name show up have been cancelled because of too many fights. 

When I go to the afterlife and have total complete knowledge and can visit the Earth plane as an invisible observer, then I will know like I know the fingernails on my hand that the News never was making references to me. They don't know me. But then it will be too late for me to fully enjoy my life on this Earth plane without worrying about whether the News is secretly referring to me or not. 

Comment on a YouTube video, Review of The Long Walk. 

"W movie."

I thought of but didn't bother to reply with the comment, 

"Game movie." 

Health anxiety occurs when the noises that the body usually makes is mistaken for a prodrome. A prodrome is at least one but not all the symptoms that occur before a major disease occurs. Wight loss and hair loss are prodrome of cancer. A long lasting acute headache can be mistaken as a prodrome of a brain tumor. 

I had a pain in my left hip three weeks ago which I thought was a hip prodrome. 

Movie I'm watching now. Finders Fee. Comments say there are two twist endings. 

Guy finds wallet resting on storm drain during a rainy night. He goes home to his apartment and finds a lottery ticket which he checks and its a winner. 3 double digit numbers, 70, 93, 21 or something like that. It's a $6 million, American, which is $8 million Canadian. 

There is the number of the owner Avery. Calls. No answer. Another number of someone named Victor. Calls and leaves a message on an answering machine. 

Friends show up including a young Ryan Reynolds. They all play cards. 

Awhile afterwards, Avery shows up at the door. He is glad to have the wallet back. He got the message from Victor. Avery is James Earl Jones. Avery is invited to play cards. 

James Earl Jones asks to use the phone in which he calls and gets no answer. 

The guy who found the wallet is hesitant about that but the others goad James Earl Jones to stay and play cards. 

Time goes on and the Police show up and order everyone to stay in their apartment as the entire apartment is under a Police investigation just as if the apartment was all of a sudden the entire country of Canada being placed under an RCMP investigation during the heady weeks of the Truckers Convoy. 

James Earl Jones asks to use the phone again. He requests privacy. 

This is where I paused the movie. 

Thoughts. Why didn't he just fish out the lottery ticket and then walk downstairs and throw the wallet into a mailbox? 

The whole thing is a set up. James Earl Jones is a high ranking Police Officer and this is a bait car, rather bait wallet operation. If someone fishes out the lottery ticket and doesn't return it with the wallet, and knowing that it's a winner, that's grand larceny. It's not as if he didn't know it was a win der which would have changed the dynamic. 

Just like when Officer Nicholas Cage promised Bridget Fonda the waitress in the movie It Can Happen To You that he'd split the lottery ticket if he won. He did win. It was a $2 million winner. 

The best thing the waitress could have said was,  "I didn't expect you to return let alone attempt to honor the agreement. You weren't legally required to come back and our agreement was a tacit agreement rather than a contractual one according to law. There wasn't even a handshake let one a contract drawn out on a paper napkin. You didn't know the ticket was a winner which would have been a different dynamic if you knew for 100% sure that it was a winner. Just forget about it. Have a ice day." 

That's the twist ending. The whole thing is a set up and JEJ is a cop. That's what aim guessing. But the commenter said two twists. What's the second twist? Let me guess. JEJ turns out too be an alien from the planet Astrogaard. 

Quasi spoiler. James Earl Jones is not a cop nor an alien but he is certainly not at all who he appears to be. 

Vancouver lives up to its nickname Stabcouver once again as a woman stabs three people in Yaletown, none of them fatal. 

Vancouver lives up to its nickname Troncouver as a second Tron movie was filmed in Vancouver. 

Don Johnson. A Boy And His Dog. I think about this movie every day like I think about Star Wars. 

It is a movie about a man and a telepathic dog who meet a woman somewhere down the line. And they wind up eating her. 

Telepathy. The telepathic Prairie dog. A Boy and his Dog. I have a lot of intrusive thoughts and unwanted thoughts that go back decades. 

I am looking into the science of bliss. I've read enough about the science of anxiety. I'm an expert. 

Anxiety can be summed up as in times of great stress and uncertainty, the executive function will turn off. What's left is the primeval reptile brain, the R complex, the limbic brain which will, lacking enough information, will just make sh*t up. 

Bliss can so far be summed up as, in times of great stress, the mind will automatically recall good nostalgic memories as a way to restore balance. 

It's all distorted. Due to the reticulsted activating system, all memories are selective memories with details glossed over. Someone upset you years ago. Chances are, you can't remember what clothes they were wearing at the time. A memory of an argument with someone on the street. An important celebrity could have been standing next to you at the time but you have no memory of that. 

Past memories are distorted. 

As for the present, it makes 13 milliseconds for the eye to register something. What a person perceives as the present is a product of something that is already thirteen milliseconds in the past. Again, more distortion. What were the chances of that? 

As for the future. Talk about making stuff up. The future never turns out as imagined. 

All distorted. 

The Ryan Reynolds loaded breakfast at Tim Hortons is a recipe that can be figured out. 

First dice and parboil some potatoes and then fry them until golden brown. The potatoes have to have the exquisite soft texture of frozen French fries. That's because frozen French fries are potatoes that are tritursted and then compressed and then deep fried until golden brown using an air fryer. It has that exquisite soft and crumbly texture. 

Parboiling and then frying until golden brown would be a domestic approach to replicating that factory made exquisiteness of frozen curly fries. 

Just use that instead of booking and then frying the potatoes. 

Then fry some bacon cut up into small pieces. Then add scrambled eggs. 

Sunny side up is my most favorite because I can lean forward and then drink the yoke with my mouth. That's a great experience. Does that move look while good eating at a restaurant, though? Oh well, who cares?

Then top with chipotle sauce which is mayonnaise and Sri rscha or else ranch dressing and Sri rscha. 

White spot Triple-O is mayonnaise and red relish with a shot of mustard. 

Thousand Island dressing is mayonnaise and ketchup. 

Seafood dip is white relish and ketchup. Wasabi and ketchup is also acceptable. 

Tzatziki is plain white yogurt, and sour cream with dill and cilantro and a dash of lemon juice. 

Global News said that John Rustad, Leader of the BC Conservatives asked all his MLAs to turn in their phones so as to see who leaked information about him. What information?! 

Nothing incriminating was found. In other words it was a gamble and he lost. 

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence so the MLAs could have had their messages selectively deleted before turning in their phones. A cybersecurity specialist can use apps like Recuva to look for deleted messages. 

If still nothing found, then the MLAs would be right livid. Angry. 

It will be interesting. The News said that the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend will be a reprieve. Will it? The MLAs will be calling him demanding an explanation. 

It will be like, don't say Caesar. Say Hamilton. 

I hope not. I don't have anything against BC Conservstive Leader John Rustad. 

Another interesting chapter in politics that I wonder how it will turn out. A interesting development in the never real ending plotline of political intrigue and history. 

I hope that things turn out well for Mr Rustad and that any problems he has will be over quickly. 

No one except him knows the motivation behind that spectacularly bizarre move of having his own MLAs phones checked as if they were airport passengers going through customs check. 

It turned out to be a stroke of luck for MLA Eleanore Sturko that she got ejected from the BC Conservatives Party otherwise she might have had her phone checked too. And John Rustad looking through the phones of his MLAs does absolutely nothing, is completely useless if it was Eleanore Sturko who leaked the information to a radio pod cast that there was going to be a secret ballot. I'm not saying it was but it wouldn't surprise me. It probably wasn't. Hearing that on the radio broadcast or being told about it, was what spurred John Rustad's decision to have phones searched. 

Alas this happened in Canada and not States side where they have the excellent 4th Amendment protecting against unreasonable search and seizures. 

Some meth heads are some of the most spiritual people I have ever met. 

I have said prayers and because I have faith, I thank God in advance that He is helping them to have a good future. 

Not everyone has the same vision of what a good future looks like. For most people, it's bread not circuses. But for a select fringe population, it's circuses not bread. 

Given a choice between living in housing and being threatened with eviction evey other month because of their meth use, they'd rather cut out the middleman of the rentalsman and live in a rent where they can smoke meth 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 366 on leap years. 

Tonight I have been feeling really good. Before, I had waves and waves of anxiety that lasted for hours on end. Tonight, it was waves of nostalgia bursts that just went on and on. It's a lot better than anxiety. 

I've just been eating regularly and drinking tea with milk and sugar. 

The Tutor. Garrett Hedlund aka Sam Flynn of Tron Stars in this. In a good marriage to his wife. A tutor with a reputation for being a very good teacher. A billionaire hires him to tutor his son at $2,500 a day. For his initiation into the job, he has to spend a week at the estate. 

Wouldn't this be the movie Foxcatcher? I'm confused here. 

Now the places he is already tutoring look nice to me especially since I live in a rooming house. I'd say mid middle class to upper middle class. 

Billionaire is upper class. On an entirely different level. 

How will the movie end? Who knows. 

VR allows me to visit some rich houses and to stay awhile. I have good memories visiting rich houses in VR even if it's a very good CGI illustration of the interior of a rich house and not a photograph.

Diane Keaton, legendary actress in the movies The Godfather trilogy died. She was the original Edie Falco character on The Sopranos. She was in other movies auch as Annie Hall. 

The Godfather 2 is the best movie of all of them. Part one had crude production values. Part 2 had epic scenes. Part three, a character gets involved with his cousin. Life and its twists and turns. 

This morning as I just happened to be sweeping the grounds of the Catholic Church, a black SUV parked near where I was and stayed for awhile and then took off. Even if it was Police, I wasn't doing anything illegal. In this day and age, people often pull over to the side to avoid dinking which is texting while operating a moving vehicle. A call on the old cell phone, it registers as an important number. Family. Who knows. 

Anyways that SUV turned out to be a death omen. 

I thought I recognized the driver as someone who works at the Catholic soup line. The person didn't look like her as much as she did look like her and it was a slightly tinted window. 

I got a Catholic blessing because I found a croissant in a paper bag on top of a garbage can. It was rainy and wet but the bag was completely dry so it was just recently placed there. 

I tried to do the best of a job that I could, however, Autumn being what it is, leaves kept on falling even after I swept the area. I'm not going to sweeep the area all day. I had otherwise swept of accumulated leaves which have a different look, brown and soggy from the rain. The newly fallen leaves were yellow. 

I found a set of measuring spoons on the grounds of the Catholic Church which are essential if a person is going to be a cook on the level of being a Michelin star chef. Vancouver has a few Michelin starred restaurants now. Victoria BC has none. What a backwater. However chefs that got Michelin stars from working at other restaurants, at least a couple of them work in Victoria. 

How it works is that a chef gets a Michelin star for a specific dish that is on the menu at a certain restaurant. At the restaurant I Quan Ju De in Vancouver, the restaurant is most famous for Peking duck. However, the restaurant got a Michelin three star rating for the dish seared duck hearts. And it was the restaurant in Beijing that got the Michelin 3 star rating of which the Vancouver restaurant is a branch in a franchise chain. 

Thus the Michelin starred chefs working in Victoria got Michelin stars for other entree items at other restaurants. Entree item, or it could be an appetizer item or a desert item, whatever. 

So when a Michelin star chef leaves a restaurant, the restaurant holds on to the Michelin rating even though the chef is no longer working there and the chef retains his Michelin star status even though he no longer works at that restaurant in which he got and in which got him the Michelin star rating. So that's two sets of Michelin stars for the price of one rating. 

Fried noodles, done right. 

Get some chow Mein noodles and cook to about 80%. It must retain some hardness. 

On a frying pan, its best to add garlic, ginger and green onion, but since I only have garlic right now, adding at least one of them will work. Use regular cooking oil and then use some sesame oil. Sprinkle the pan with a good amount of sugar but not too much. Add meats, vegetables etc if you have any. If not, plain is also an option. 

Also oyster sauce, a dash is good. I have that but am running low. 

Add the noodles and set to the highest temperature. BTUs, baby. 

British Thermal Units. 

The high temperature is conducive to the sugar caramelizing and adds what the Chinese call 'wok hay' which means, wok's breath which issential to the alchemy approach inherent in all Chinese wok based cooking. 

Fry, fry, fry. And fry until the edges of the noodles start to discolour, turning a rich tan color. Add a dash of soy sauce while cooking and then afterwards add another dash of soy sauce and that's it. That's the real recipe. Frying the noodles along with soy bean sprouts would be nice too, if you got it. 

A animator named Barefoot in VR is a genius. 'You're Gonna Carry That Weight'. 

Don't worry, that video under that user name is available to see on YouTube. As soon as I saw this, another level. 

Matt Schaeffer, another VR animator is also a genius. 

RuxandraGP, her VR production 'Archway Lady'. This lady is a genius. Great command of line. 

The animator el3mendazo made a VR cartoon called Road Warriors inspired from Mad Max the Road Warrior and he draws fsces well. He drew a face of a young Mel Gibson and set it to VR animation. Genius. 

For those who don't have meta quest VR and Theatre Elsewhere, what can I say? 

Meta quest VR is the minimum standard. I'm sure that if you have the more pricier VR goggles, you could probably get Theatre Elsewhere. Check out Quantum Race from Soda Island productions. On the better VR goggles it must be mind blowing because it looks incredible enough on meta quest 3. I have the cheap one with the low 128 GB storage. The pricier one has 528 GB storage.

Andrea Perron of The Conjuring has late stage cancer. I will always be glad that I got to know of her work on the internet. She is a great lady. I hope she recovers. She'll go to heaven for sure. She is known to be someone who is very knowledgeable aboit spirituality. 

I thought of writing her a letter but that would be like writing to a doctor to tell of my medical knowledge. She's quite knowledgeable. I do wish her the best. There could be a last minute cure. The cancer has progressed to her thyroid and her brain. 

Life is short. Those days that you once thought would last forever become a distant memory. 

"The day you thought would never come, has.". Mason Verger, Hannibal

Some probably thought it would never happen but there appears to be a permanent Gaza ceasefire with all remaining Israeli hostages to be released. 

No one wants to hear my harebrained speculations, but here goes. 

Trump was on the phone with Netanyahu, 

"Ben, you're scared aren't you? All those UN delegstes from 50 countries walking out on your speech. Ha, they didn't even walk out on my speech and I said that their countries were destroyed and that they were in hell. Things don't look good. Did you see what happened with Assad? 

Listen, if you can't get it done, we will. Those countries that walked out wouldn't mind if we sent in US troops because we're doing it on their behalf, and we may have to hit an occasional Israeli soldier if that what it takes to get the job done. You don't want us in there. It would be like the Berlin Wall. American occupation. The Marshall Plan. The Monroe Doctrine. Manifest Destiny. Think about it."

After that phone call, within like a few days after the UN meeting, so sudden, the war is over and the remaining living Israeli hostages will be released. 

Would there be UN NGOs in Gaza now at this point? 

I plopped down another $5 and got Transformers, Rise of the Beasts movie that was released in 2023. 

"Every galaxy I've traveled to, all of you species are the same. You all think you're the center of the Universe. If you only knew." Lockdown, Transformers Age of Extinction

Now that quote was on Bertrand Russell levels of profundity. 

$5 on sale. Relative recent release which means cutting edge production values. Why not? 

Will there be a quote in the movie Rise of the Beasts that's even nearly as good let alone one as good or better? I doubt it. That quote is literally untoppable. It's literally the best quote in all of cinema movie history. 

That quote is self explanatory. 

That quote makes me think. 

I went to the Barbie movie expecting Bertrand Russell levels of philosophical discovery. 

The PM Justin Trudeau went to the movie with a picture of him on Twitter having attended a screening. 

Sima Liu said it was the best script he ever worked with. Yeah, that's also the movie that he got paid the most money for ever. Even more than five rings and with a smaller part too. He was acting with bigger actors in this movie. Ryan Reynolds, Margot Robbie, Kate MacKinnon, 

And Grace Randolph said it was her second favorite movie script after Alfred Hitchcock Rear Window. 

After seeing and hearing all that, I went to the movie. 

I walked out of movie baffled. Clearly the movie's target demographic is girls aged 7 - 13. And their doting parents. I didn't see or hear anything that even approximates Bertrand Russell levels of intellectual alacrity and perspicacity. 

I didn't think it was $10 down the drain though. It was definitely worth the money. The movie took a lot of time and energy to make. It was a spectacular movie. Still, not really my cup of tea. I like tea with sugar and milk. 

In my town, afternoon movies, matinee price is $10. Evening movies, the price is $15. 

That was when I had money and could afford to attend a movie that even the PM saw, on a whim. Now I'm chapter 11. Insolvent. 

I have to save money and get milk for tea and coffee too less often. 

The News, Global News had a chef from Joe Fortes restaurant made bake less cookies. 

Basically it's oil, sugar, peanut butter, and cocoa butter. And whatever else which would be optional. Chopped walnuts, minced coca nut, raisins, marachino cherries, whatever. Fry it on a frying pan and then dole out in portion on a baking pan covered with wax paper. When the mixture cools, it hardens a little to the exact viscosity of a cookie. 

Then later on today, I saw a YouTube video that says cocoa bean, not to be confused with cocao bean which is coffee, cocoa bean contains flavinols. This causes stem cells to seep from the bone marrow to other areas of the body, thus healing other areas of the body. 

I'm in. 

There is an extra flavinols, synthetic flavinols cocoa bean powder at a pharmacy for $37 a bottle. Or you can get old fashioned plain ol' cocoa powder st the store for less. Way less. 

Cocoa powder is good with milk, ice cream, egg custard, 

There is a movie called Cocaine Bear. 

There is another movie called Meth Gator. 

Meth Gator reminds me of the old Thai movie Krai Tong which I saw in Bangkok in 2003. Krai Tong is about a wild crocodile. 

I got The Kingsman Golden Circle for $5. My movie addiction is still ongoing. 

I turned down a lot of other $5 so my addiction isn't out of control. This chapter of The Kingsman has The Statesman. I had quite a few dreams of American Presidents so I had to get this. 

Also on a trivia app, I correctly guessed that the US Embassy in London is located on Grosvenor Avenue. That's a sign that I'm a Statesman and a Kingsman. 

Now one would fault me getting this movie on an addiction. $5. You couldn't even get a large coffee at a coffee shop for the price. That's less than a third of hourly minimum wage. 

Monday, October 13, 2025 

The News reported very recently about a story about a man who in all likelihood, killed his wife. They live on a dilapidated farm. 

The wife's name was Jennifer Provencal. Jennifer Provincial. 

The man had a job driving school buses until the day he drove a school bus into a ditch. He has some kind of long term injuries from that which affected his livelihood. 

When the News reporter interviewed him, it seemed like whatever it was, he seemed to be holding back anger that was still there. He looked pissed. And not drunk. Angry pissed. He conducted that interview with a controlled fit of righteous indignation. Who knows? She was probably cheating on him and threatened to leave him. There was most likely a lot of money involved. He even said that she went to motels with different guys sometimes. 

He wasn't weeping and he didn't seem to be going through grief. 

He did say that he thought that she is still alive. 

Meanwhile her sister says that there is no evidence that she is still alive. 

The way the reporter interviewed him is similar to the way a reporter interviewed a Chinese guy who did in his girlfriend and dumped body in Stave Lake. The reporter grabbed his arm during the exchange. It was like a claw grabbing his arm. He fled to China and NDP MP Jenny Kwan wanted him extradited to Canada. Probably still does but China doesn't have an extradition treaty. 

As Lau said in the movie Batman The Dark Knight, "The Chinese won't extradite one of their own." 

The question is, if this guy goes to China will Jenny Kwan want him extradited as well? 

If there was a Sherlock Holmes or a Hercule Poirot or a facial recognition expert, they could know if he was lying. Certain tells. 

I wonder how it will turn out. Habeus corpus. Not finding the body makes it more difficult but not impossible to determine the facts. 

Or Elsbeth. 

On tonight's season opener, talk show host Stephen Colbert portrayed someone who got done in. This was done with a style reminiscent of the old Agatha Christie whodunnits. 

That the episode festured Stephen Colbert is showing solidarity with Jimmy Kimmel and that it was on Elsbeth means that the Law views what happened with Jimmy Kimmel very attentively. It was a very well written episode. Like a jigsaw puzzle that all fits together. 

On the man's vehicle, a white truck with a canopy, there is a sticker on the driver's side door that reads ' I Am' almost as if denoting the vehicles raisin d'etre the same way that the word 'POLICE' appears on the side of Police cars as a indicator of their role in society. 

I am is a subordinate clause. An incomplete sentence. I am. I am what? I am innocent? I am the one that did it? I am the suspect? Or uh, I am f*cked? 

That's a cosmic sign from the Universe as life works in mysterious ways. 

Today is the start of the one month Real VR Fishing Halloween event. It has strange themed events and new fish to catch although from experience, the odds of catching any of these new and rare special fish is almost non existent. I played and played and fished and fished and didn't catch even one of the special Halloween themed fish which might be a good thing as Halloween being what it is, the new and special fish look hella scary. 

Wrong. I thought that today was the 15th. Today is the 13th so the Halloween spectacular on Real VR Fishing doesn't appear until Wednesday. 

Do you think that if I had Israel VR Fishing instead of just Real VR Fishing that I'd be able to catch a gefiltke fish? 

Peace achieved in Israel as all hostages have been released. Trump didn't get the Nobel Prize. Maria Cardias Machado from Venezuela got the Nobel Prize for Peace. Trump should have gotten it. Just like Star Wars didn't get the Academy Award for Best Picture. 

Arthouse elitism. 

Now I'm intensely worried that the same approach that Trump took in Israel won't quite work with Russia and Ufraine. If Trump threatens US involvement, Russia would say, "Bring it on." Trump has instead opted to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for them to use against Russia. In law there's known as being an accessory. In hockey, that's known as an assist. 

"With a Tomahawk chop, 

We'll go straight to the top

Turdonia long may you reign."

Michael Moore, The Awful Truth 

If worse comes to worse, we might have to enlist. At that point, I'd have to get a CZ-75 because I'd probably be assigned to infantry. The average life of a soldier is about three weeks. I'd last a few days, if that. Take a few down. Then I'd most likely get shot myself. I would do it for Canada. Then I'd be going to Valhalla. I have nothing to lose. I'm single. If I had a wife and a family, it would be different. 

Since I'd be holding a weapon in my hand and in battle, I'd be going to the primary Valhalla where I don't have to reincarnate. Otherwise I'd be going to Fangorn which is the secondary Valhalla and from there a soldier would have to reincarnate and fight another battle until they get it right. Die on battle holding a weapon in their hand while attacking. Then they'd finally be going to primary Valhalla. 

Getting shot is fast. Especially a headshot with a high impact slug from a Russian made Gyurza which would be the second best possible outcome. The first best being returning home uninjured. A person dies quickly, in minutes. Not long and drawn out and painful and anxiety ridden like dying from some ghastly wretched disease. 

It would help to learn the language. Fortunately, the two sides speak more or less the same language. 

Polish is an excellent primer for Russian and vice versa. 

From memory: 

"Hail Turdonia, land of Turner 

Of your might we sing 

From the prairies to the mountains 

Ted owns everything

Give us beefalo and a wrestling show

And aerobics led by Jane

With a tomahawk chop 

We'll go straight to the top

Turdonia long may you reign."

Michael Moore, Turdonia 

"And that's in American dollars, not Turdonian Teds." Michael Moore

As you know, over the last few months, years, I've talked about how the physics of this dimension really gets to me and not in a good way and how I fear the future. 

I even talked about this at Church. 

Last Silunday, I got some answers, good answers at the Presbyterian Church. 

As to the physics of this dimension, the preacher sadlid something like,  "Most people take for granted the modern miracle of the airplane. Lots of people go through their airplane flights complaining about this and that in their lives. At one time, it took 13 years to cross from one side of the United States to the other. The group that arrived wasn't the same group that left. And now an airplane carries people across the US in a few hours."

My dentist said, "Even relatively poor people today have luxuries that at one time, even Royalty didn't have. Big screen televisions, computers, iPhones etc." 

As to fears of the future, the pamphlet that Sunday had the words,  "We always think of our fears of the future yet don't see the love of the people around us in our present day life." 

Borat said something like that,  "If you spend your life chasing a dream, you will miss out on the beauty that is all around you." 

If you spend your life fearing the picture of the future that you conjured up j your mind, you will miss out on the hidden or else obvious advantages of the present. 

All paraphrased, words to that effect. They're not quotes. 

Canada Post has gone to rotating strikes so the strike is somewhat half resolved. 

Strange. Canada has less of a population than either Thailand or the United States yet Canada has a 6 character postal code. Character implies numbers and letters which has a greater possible number of permutations than a postal code that uses only numbers. 

The United States and Thailand have much greater populations yet use a 5 digit exclusively numerical zip code while Canada has a much smaller population but uses a 6 digit postal code that employs letters as well as numbers. 

The 5 digit postal code worked when the States had a certain population. Before century's end, the States will for sure bump that up to a 6 digit zip code. 

It would at first glance seem like the 5 digit zip code only has 99,999 permutations. But there is things like 019460 or 002486 or 000157 etc etc etc. Only someone who is good at probability and statistics knows the mathematical formula to find out how many possible permutations there are for the 5 digit zip code. There are 350 million people in the States but there aren't 350 million buildings or addresses. So a 5 digit postal code doesn't have to necessarily have to have 350 million permutations and counting for it to work. 

I was going to mention the UK but I'm not at all sure what their postal zip code system looks like. 

In Victoria BC today, on the News, a crazy woman tried to abduct a five year old girl even as her parents were right there. Citizens apprehended her and Police were called and she was hauled away. 

That's pretty much the plotline of the Robert Eggers movie The Witch. A crazy woman a ducts a young child.

This dimension has a different set of physics than the afterlife and dreamworld. 

Wrong. They are the same set of physics but a more enhanced and refined form of it. 

On a YouTube video, Alexandra Kallos with Heather Tesch, Alexandra Kallos said, think of this dimension as 3G and the next dimension as 5G. Information moves faster and the way information is processed and interpreted is more expedited. And there are levels beyond, 10G, 50G, 100G, 1,000G  etc etc 

Alexandra Kallos has a major near death experience, NDE. 

5G is 5 gigabytes per second. 

10G is on the way. 

As well 50G PON passive optical network is in development. 50G per second will have unimaginable implications on VR. I want to see a Christmas VR app in 50G. It would be nostalgia overload. The animated graphic designs on slot machines, the fireworks, the explosions, is scientifically verified to slightly raise dopamine levels. So imagine that and 50G VR. That won't be for ten years. Will I even be around then? What will things look like? Fear? Fear. Fear? Fear. 

Ghost of Chirstmas future, I fear you more than any other spirit I have seen. 

On the News, was the UBC music group. They sang a song with these profound words, 

"When past bearing is the weight of grief 

God will surely bring relief."

"They have worked themselves up to anger 

But that anger changes into love."

Friday, October 17, 2025 

Last night I had a dream. Some weird things I won't get into. Then at a pond at Stanley Park near the Northeast corner of Denman and Pender, I saw Heather sitting on a rock facing the pond. She was wearing her classic leather jacket, a dark red sweatshirt and white leggings with a black pattern. Reminds me of Princess Kate as I once had a dream where she was wearing white with a black floral pattern, a different floral pattern. 

Her face was tan, her hair was brown and she looked healthy. If love is a temperature, she felt warm, like standing next to a fireplace and it was love. I knelt down in front her, weeping. "Oh Beebs." She told me to draw her a picture. As I was walking away, I thought to ask her, "Oh what?" So I asked her that as I walked back the four steps to where she was sitting but at that point, she had disappeared. I heard her voice, "Draw a picture of your house where you live." 

Very similar to a dream I had of my grandfather. He too was sitting. In a chair. And I was weeping in that dream as well. My grandfather seemed so peaceful. 

I love Heather. More than life itself. 

Coincidence. As I was tuning in to the News, I saw the ending of an episode of Cold Case. The female Police detective looks at a blonde haired guy. She smiled a gentle consoling smile. Feathered hair like he just stepped out of a Hollywood salon. Shirt perfectly ironed. I knew what I was seeing. He is a ghost. I've seen endings of this show before, I recall. 

Then another look at the blonde haired guy as he walks off frame and just disappears like incense smoke. When I saw thst, I thought of the dream I had of Beebs last night! 

That Police detective can see ghosts. And she works in the homicide department. I believe there are first responders, Police Fire Ambulance, who have "the gift". They can see ghosts. 

Ace Frehley of KISS died. Legend. A few months ago, Ozzy died. The stars of the eighties, they're dropping like flies. 

KISS Army! 

Feeling burned out yesterday, I took the day off yesterday. Instead of working, I played Arizona Sunshine. I was able to get out of the mine. I found the first item, the winch, but there is also a second item, a lever. That is hidden in a second room which I would have never found if I didn't see a zombie walking out of the otherwise darkened area. I kilt the zombie and walked past it and ahead to a secret hidden  out of the way room which had the lever. One must use the machine gun or they will never kill the necessary amount of zombies before the elevator reaches the landing. Once it does, don't wait to kill all the zombies before getting on, get on right away and stand very near the elevator while taking down the zombies while waiting for the mine shaft elevator to arrive. 

Then onto the horde mode. Canyon, Trailer Park, Industrial Area and Mine Shaft. It's a one player battle Royale. One player against endless waves of zombies. It takes time. I made it to level 9 before I got struck down and decided to turn off the app. 

After the Fall has a lot of good worlds I never seen before. Playing videos games is like reading a novel or watching a movie again. You see things you didn't notice before. I uncovered the Subway level. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of going up into an upturned Subway. There is no way to exit from that. Just don't do it. I'll give it another shot. I'd given up and didn't try it again since then. After the Fall has a Flynn's Arcade from Tron level. But in the game, that arcade looks totally and completely wrecked. Just awful. 

The Halloween levels on Real VR Fishing. Some interesting fish. There is a flying jack o lantern fish with fire emanating from it that looks kinda hokey. But not bad. 

Otherwise there is a level where the player is supposed to shoot down what, 900, are you kidding, flying things in order to get one of a total of four special fishing rods which again, look all look hokey. The last fishing rod I got, the Nstive totem pole is onky available as a display in the trophy room and not useable for actual fishing. Actual Natives would be disappointed if they found out about that, probably. Vielleicht.  

There's no way I'm even attempting to try to shoot down 900 whatever's to get a special fishing rod because:

Wrong thinking - anything worth doing is worth doing right. 

Right thinking - anything that is too difficult isn't worth doing at all. 

Wrong thinking - never put off to tomorrow what can be done today. 

Right thinking - never do today what you can put off to tomorrow, or never. 

Oh F. Did I mention, I got Red Matter 2 for free. Suspicious. I also got Alex and the Jets for free. That's a sign from childhood as when I was in elementary school, I had a friend named Alex Santos. Don't worry, that's a very common name in Spanish, like John Smith in English. Alex and The. That sounds enough like Alex Santos. 

I think it was Santos. Or Santorini. Of which five days ago, I had Santorini salad which I had never heard of, let alone tried. Not bad. Nutritious and you don't even need any upper teeth to eat that. Tasty. And not pricey. It was an additional option for $3. At that price, why not? 

Red Matter 2. I already got Red Matter 1 on meta quest plus for free. Good graphics but lots of moving around and escape room energy. RM1 was realeasd in 2019. RM2 was released in 2022. Because of the obfuscsting gameplay of RM1, I didn't even attempt to try to get RM2. 

Cosmically, it's connected to yesterday when I quoted Alexandra Kallos about her saying in not so many words that the physics of the next dimension compared to this one is like 5G to 1G. More bandwidth, broadband. 

In this dimension, one hears seven notes or to be more precise, about 11 octaves. 88 keys on a piano, eight keys per octave. 11 octaves. In the next dimension, one hears more octaves, way more. 

Sleeping as well is just simply reduced from seven hours a day to zero hours per no days at all or even hours. It's like a casino with no clocks. It just goes on and on. 

In this dimension, one sees three primary colors. Not secondary or tertiary colors or shades, tints, and hues. Primary colors. In the next dimension, one sees way more. 

In this dimension, the fastest a person ever travelled was on a rocketship which travels at 1,500 mph but don't quote me on that velocity. In the next dimension, oh you travel a lot faster! 

"Do you travel fast?" asked Scrooge. 

"Upon the wings of the wind." replied the spirit. A Christmas Carol 

I included the name of the person who taught me that and the source in this case a YouTube video instead of just leaving that out because it is the honorable thing to do. 

It was a word and not a concept so I didn't mention at the time that Dr Tracy Marks taught me the word prodrome. She does YouTube videos on health anxiety saying that healthy anxiety is when a harmless symptom is mistaken as a prodrome. 

People can give apps as gifts anonymously. An angel investor or benefactor sent me those gifts. That's temhe only way to explain how inexplicably, I got those apps. 

A&TJ is a $17 app. 

RM2 is a $27 app. 

Someone rich sent me that. Must be. Paid for apps don't grow on trees like free apps do. 

Whoever it was, thank you. I will do my utmost to enjoy your gift. 

There is a new fried chicken restaurant that opened where the old perogy restaurant was. I left a review. However I didn't go there much as I haven't gone to any other restaurant much these days as I am in debt. Not much. A couple of hundred. Crddit card. VR. What else is new? Once I pay that off, I can save money again. Sure. For what? 

I like to have disposable income to eat well and drink well. A Guinness stout can really change the dynamic and turns a night of watching television into some kind of a festive party. No more than one Guinness stout. Alcohol and the law of diminishing returns. First beer, interesting. A few beers drunk to the point of ad absurdio. Then the next morning, a hangover. Wretched. 

"He swore and not for the last time that he was through with that poison." Stephen King, Pet Sematary 

Dianne Keaton died of pneumonia. That is an awful way to go. It might not be as awful as one thinks. If one is in full health, they take on a full dose of pneumonia that lasts about three days, up to five days, feeling just wrecked and then they recover. 

When a person is old an dying, it might be just a slight case of pneumonia that does it. One, or two days and they're gone. They might say afterwards, "In life I went through much tougher bouts of pneumonia but since I am old, this slight case was all it took, a couple of days of feeling awful for sure, but again, I've felt more awful at other times in the past and then strangely, the transition was very smooth." 

God speaks in coincidences. 

The other day I wrote about the Keystone XL pipeline. I wrote that it is an oil pipeline. 

Then the next day, walking to the window, I saw a bus with the entire side covered over with an ad I 'heart' LNG. I ♥️ LNG. 

Liquid natural gas. 

Keystone is a natural gas pipeline. 

So it has nothing to do with electric or hybrid vehicles unless liquid natural gas powers some vehicles. It probably does. Hybrid electric vehicles. 

LNG is a fossil fuel. 

Fossil fuels are non renewable. 

Please say a prayer of blessing for me that I can feel nostalgia to the utmost. I want to feel bliss. I want to get to know the energy of Victoria as heavenly as the energy of Vancouver. 

I think Vancouver is the most heavenly city in the Universe. 

The level of heavenly vibes in Vancouver is profound. 

I want to feel Vancouver levels of heavenly bliss. 

Be careful what you wish for. 

I am going to, for sure, sweep the grounds of the Catholic Church again. The Catholic Church has over a thousand canonized Saints one for every imaginable situation and affliction. I wish to pray to the Catholic Saint or have someone say a prayer on my behalf that I can feel bliss and heavenly vibes and Sunday vibes again. 

Just do it. You have to do it. There is no substitute for, on Sunday, look at Google image photographs of stained glass light reflected on Church walls. Just Goodale stained glass window reflection. Look at the pictures while listening to early 70s music or some old time jazz and you will feel the Sunday vibes. For sure. 

I usually don't do that these days as I'm on VR all the time. 

Sidney BC is a town with heavenly vibes. 

Drawing pictures. About that. 

I haven't started up the flip a clip program on my other tablet for st least a year. Does it still work or what? 

Also for the level of talent I displayed in my cartoons, life hasn't really compensated me fairly. I am still stuck in some low grade rooming house in a backwater town in a backwater country. A mismanaged country. There is no future here. There is more of a future for artists in England or the States than in Canada. 

The situation I'm in. The personalities that the forces of life throw at me are all disincentives for me to even bother drawing any more pictures which under the circumstances is a colossal waste of time. 

Matt Fraser the psychic said that the spirit world has regrets about and tells people to use their talents but a lot give up because they think they're not good enough or its not making enough money. 

On Hope Street season four episode 5, a lady said,  "He used to be quite the artist. But he decided that he'd never be as good as his father so he just up and quit for good. And that was the end of it."

I don't know when I'll draw the pictures. I'll need some kind of incentive. 

I don't remember the date, but dreams exist outside of the earthly calendar so who cares, so I don't remember day of the dream of the King of Thailand visiting the kitchen of my childhood house and looking through the cupboards but that dream was quite vivid and I can draw that along with every dream I had of Heather. Very specific images with environment, scenery. But again. Drawing pictures in this country and perhaps the World is casting pearls before swine. I do the work on Google and someone who else gets rich. That's the deal. I'd rather be in the afterlife with Heather where the system there isn't certain instantly ripping people off based on greed based on dimensional limitations as it is in this dimension. 

I don't know when I'll draw pictures ever again. 

In the last twenty years, what were once grunge hip hop gangsta values have become suburbanized and become bourgeois values with a different set of priorities and valuations. 

While food and housing have become overpriced, things like sweeping the sidewalks and clearing weeds outside of a business place have become devalued, is below the radar of, and also simply incongruent to the Fred Flintstone new style grunge hip hop gangsta bourgeois mindset. 

The new hoody wearing grunge hip hop gangsta bourgeois generation particularly in the New World which is North America doesn't place that much of a premium on keeping the streets and sidewalks outside their business well swept and clear of weeds. 

I'll do it. I don't mind. 

I don't know how long I'll be doing this for. It's a long road that has no turning. 

It will be God who will place me at my next station in life. 

I don't see the future getting better. 

The News said a record number of young people are doing themselves in. I absolutely couldn't blame them at all. Not in the least. Could you? They crunched the numbers and decided that it's a crooked table slanted against them. It's a steep uphill climb rather than a fair and reasonable downhill walk. A housing crisis and unaffordable tuition are no incentives for living. I don't blame them at all. I sometimes question my own wisdom in staying alive. Stay alive for what? 

During this delicate era of the BC GEU and PEA Public Employees Association going on strike, some might complain about the shortfall of being charged BC Provincial sales tax going into a government that is only running on one out of four cylinders. 

The money goes towards public projects like the Keystone XL pipeline. No, not like the Keystone XL pipeline of which the Premier has expressly voiced his vehement opposition to the project. He said, there is not a chance in hell. Which doesn't give much room for misinterpretation. 

It would be one thing if the strike was happening because of ongoing government agenda. However the strike is happening in spite of ongoing government agenda. So it's completely fair and reasonable and justified to keep on paying the Pronivial VAT until the strike comes to a resolution. 

Bill Murray will always have a cool vibe. He is timeless. The other day on a talk show, he sang The Kinks, So Tired of Waiting For You. 

The movie Amsterdam. Based on a true story. 

A man who makes prosthetics reunite with his old War buddy from World War 1. 

The prosthetics guy is asked to do an autopsy on a Senator Meeks. The Senator while in Italy heard a story of how the Fascist Leader at the time ran over a child. The Leader said,  "What is the life of one compared to the greater cause?"  The Senator was about to disclose this knowing about the plot, which would have affected the plot. 

YouTube comments said that the book in which the movie is based said that the plan was then to divide the US into 5 regions, with Senators but no Congress. Senators would be appointed by 5 regional Governors along with corporate cronies. 

Turns out he was poisoned. The Taylor Swift character was about to divulge the details of a plot but was struck by a car and killed. 

It turns out the plot was an overthrow of FDR to replace him by installing a fascist general with no previous political experience as the President. This is the Robert DeNiro character in the movie. 

That was the plot the Taylor Swift character was to reveal. 

Why was this movie made? Why such an obscure bit of history all of a sudden brought to light again? 

I'm guessing that the makers of this movie wished to draw a political parallel between that story and the installation of President Donald Trump who is, depending on who you ask, a Fascist and with no prior political experience. 

This movie was released in 2022 during Trumps first term in Office. 

So anyways, it is rather interesting that Taylor Swift is in the movie. And Robert DeNiro too. 

Historically, the plot was unsuccessful. So unsuccessful that if the movie hadn't been released, no one would have heard about it. They sure didn't teach that in my high school history class! 

Smedley Butler, the excellent real name of the Christian Bale character, which wasn't used in the movie, was as well involved with the Bonus Army. The government promised veterans of World War 1 bonuses that totalled to $2.2 billion dollars. Army veterans protested against that for years with some of these protests resulting in mass arrests. The government finally, at one point, promised the checks would be delivered in what, 1945. Unacceptable. So after more protests, the cheques were issued 9 years early, in 1936. 

The Bonus Army situation has a current local parallel with the BCGEU strike and the PEA strike. The public servants association. 

Pea or phi means ghost in Thai. I see ghosts of my dead friends and relatives in my dreams all the time. 

Speaking of fascism, Dr Livingood on YouTube said,  "You are what you eat ate." Farmed salmon are fed with what? Bone meal? Hydrolated feather meal? 

A better expression would be,  "You are what you eat, ate ate." No reference of course to 88, HH, Hail World War 2 Guy. 

Bone meal. But what did the cows eat? Bovine spongiform encephalitis? Fsctory farms? 

You are what you eat ate ate. 

Again, with this new era of grunge hip hop gangsta mentality which is also what passes as the bourgeois mentality running the show, running the circus, the food will always be something that you'll just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best which is standard treatment in this backwater dimension with its backwater set of physics. 

This dimension is the 3G dimension with all the expected latency that goes with 3G compared to the afterlife that not only is it a one Planck second singularity download just as this dimension is, it is also one that happens to operate at a mind blowing 50T broadband! You read that right. Streaming at 50 terabytes, not gigabytes a second. To demonstrate that level of broadband on our current computers is like trying to demonstrate an 8K television using an old black and white glass tube television. Simply unimaginable. 

Lech Walesa is speaking in Vancouver next month for a tickets only event. 

Lech Walesa was the President of Poland during the Solidarity or Solidarnöse movement during the early eighties. That was probably a CIA plot. Westernization. 

Walesa was, in all likelihood, a CIA puppet. That's why he's able to speak in Vancouver next month 

Not all assets are puppets but all puppets are assets. 

Well, you don't have to be a CIA asset to secure a speaking engagement at one of Vancouver's most exclusive speaking venues, but it helps! 

Quite a few heads of State slash CIA assets have spoken in Vancouver in the past such as Zelensky. 

Urban blight. 

Listening to music of the early 70s, I think of Vancouver, last was when the last of the old style Vancouver houses that grew like weeds all over the city. These houses were comprised of countless innumerable wooden slats and looked like a cross between a professionally built house and something that was jerry-rigged. 

In the 40s, 50s, 60s, these houses were everywhere in Vancouver. 

To the tourist these houses looked like something like Dogpatch from Lil' Abner. 

A tourist driving past seeing a house being built would assume it was professional housebuilders. No, its the actual owner building the house. You saw that just as much if not more than seeing contracted professional housebuilders. That was the kind of era it was. To architecturally underscore the jerry-rigged nature, entire houses were built raised on stilts as if an irresistible urge among poor uneducated housebuilders is jerry-rigging raised houses on stilts. 

These house were often poorly maintained. Usually with paint peeling from the walls. Everyone who was around then remembers seeing all that paint peeling from walls, fences. And the front yard had weeds that grew waist high. 

This was called urban blight. 

Those old jerry-rigged urnmban blight houses were torn down not one at a time but hundreds at a time during the 70s and 80s. 

There are two kinds of urban blight. Domestic and street. 

Domestic urban blight happens when houses are too affordable. There was a time, believe it or not, in Vancouver when any heavy metal @sshole high school drop out could 

easily afford a house working at a local Blue collar unionized light industry job or working at a sawmill. The riff Raff, the lumpen Proletariat, any Johnny six pack and Mary Housecoat and Joe Lunchpail could easily afford a house with a yard all around the house, on the sides too. There was a time when mortgages were five year. Then that was bumped up to ten year. Now, thirty year mortgages are standard issue. 

Street urban blight happens when there is a bloddy housing crisis. Houses are way too unaffordable and over priced. Then you have the street disorder that all the mayors of every town in BC is now intensely and profoundly worried about. 

The damned News. It influences mayors. There are cases all the time when a town is half ways quiet and crime has tended downward but the News likes to recycle footage from two years ago and pass it off as if it was filmed just yesterday. 

This discredits the Police as if saying, all those years you supported the Police charity thanking them for keeping the streets safe while in the last few years, according to the  merchants guild, streets have gone progressively unsafe. 

The safety of the streets is directly proportional to the unaffordability of the housing crisis and would be inversely proportional to affordable housing and options, a job where they can afford to support a family. 

Student loans, the price of housing. No wonder a lot of young people have given up on life. 

A person shouldn't give up on life. There are always options. The best thing for a person to do if they feel like giving up is to turn to the Catholic Church. 

The Catholic Church has always been financially immune to Great Depressions, recessions and housing crises. 

The Catholic Church can give anyone a future. And a good future at that. 

Or try the Presbyterians. 

Whatever. Some kind of spiritual tradition can help. If you aren't Christian, there are a few other faiths you can turn to. 

Don't let urban blight, domestic or street, get you down. 

The News said that there is a surge in gold prices. It's not as if they could mine gold anywhere else in the solar system. Earth is the only planet with gold. You can't find gold anywhere else on the solar system. Probably not even the moon. 

And that's why the Earth has life. It isn't abiogenesis. It's gold, baby. 

That's the answer. 

The Godfather and The Godfather part 3 is on sale for $7 each. Mulling it over. Should I get it? 

These are epic monumental legendary movies. 

The Conversation is $10 and that's a second rate movie compared to The Godfather. Who talks about The Conversation? I can already watch The Conversation for free on big screen on The Internet Library Archive which is like an online Library of Congress for movies. I don't need to see The Conversation in spackling crisp high definition. The free edition on the internet library has a pretty good and not bad resolution. 

Anyways, should I get the two Godfather movies? 

$14 is still cheaper than most entrees at a restaurant. It's not even one hour minimum wage. I'm going to go to the window and have a look. See a sign. Should I get the movies or not. 

Today I had a massive headache. It went on for hours. I thought it was food poisoning. I ate some fresh food and felt better but the headache returned. I thought I might have a brain tumor as the headache went on for hours. 

Finally I taced the source. Playing Arizona Sunshine for literally hours on end non stop. So much spinning and panning. Every other second. 

IMAX movies say that if you feel motion sickness, close your eyes and the feeling should soon pass. For hours of spinning and panning, a few seconds of closing my eyes wouldn't be enough to do it. 

I meditated for half an hour with eyes closed. Gradually, and not suddenly, but gradually and surely, I felt better. 

I feel 100% better now. 

Would I be thought of as extravagant and a spendthrift if I got the two Godfather movies? 

Other movies, this movie, that movie, whatever, is being sold for $5. I'm not getting those movies. So my addiction isn't that bad. 

Number one rule of thumb. Don't, just don't go window shopping. If you are into nice neck ties, don't go to the tie rack at the thrift store or you for sure will be tempted to spend money. 

Clicking on YouTube Hot Deals of the Week is like window shopping at the tie rack at the thrift store during their once every few months sale. Don't do it. Or you will be tempted. I got tempted. 

I never saw the Godfather movies in the movie theatre. I did see the movies on small screen television a few times. It's a very scary and unsavory topic but it's a classic movie and if anything somewhat of a toned down depiction of actual gangsters these days as they are next level from the old school gangsters depicted in the movie. 

Gangsters are a Jungian archetype. 

I wish the movies were in sale for $5 but again, in this day and age, it's unheard of to quibble and deliberate about a $2 difference in price. 

The Godfather is mentioned quite a few times on Pawn Stars. 

I got the movies. The sign that I saw was a guy on a mountain bike and his girlfriend. They were East Indian. There were two of them so that numerically represents two movies. Two two wheels on the mountainbike numerically represents the two movies I was planning to get and the one girl numerically represents the one Godfather movie I already have. 

Confirmation bias is an insidious thing. It's a cognitive delusion and is a form of another cognitive delusion called random data cluster phenomenon. 

I am watching The Godfather on the retro cinema screen on the Big Screen VR app because it reminds me of the old Odeon theatre in Vancouver before it became the Granville Seven Cinemas. 

I imagine that it is the 70s and I am in my twenties watching movies of the era at the time. I imagine watching these movies at the Odeon on Granville Street. 

The Godfather, Planet of the Apes and Saturday Night Fever, 70s Spielberg movies. Star Wars. 

I wish I could be born in 1949. The fifties and the sixties had a certain style. Then in 1969, at the age of 20, I could watch Planet of the Apes on Granville. But wish for that whwn you can see it in VR on the retro cinema screen on the Big Screen VR app. The retro cinema screen looks intensely like the old Odeon cinema in Vancouver. I did see movies there in the late seventies as a child but that's not the same thing as seeing a movie in 1970 at 20 years old. The best pinball tables were of the old era and I wish that Pinball Fx VR could make some retro tables like Central Park. 

Prince Andrew. DIP. Disinformation protocol. 

This is real Game of Thrones Sword of Damocles level of court intrigue. 

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Machiavelli

Which means a person in power should monitor the activities of their opposition more than that of their allies. 

Prince Andrew, would he make a move to seize the throne being the next oldest to King Charles? 

It would be more Prince William than King Charles who would worry about this. 

I'm worried too. In the year 2,000, in Nepal an uncle, the brother of the Monarch, arranged for the murders of the entire Royal family including monarch and crown Prince. But this type of incident is the exception rather than the rule. 

So this move to link him with Eprey Jeffstein effectively kneecaps any attempt to seize the throne or else makes it that much more difficult. Primogeniture and succession being what it is. 

If it wasn't this, it might likely would have been something else. 

This is a ominous portends for Trump regarding the No Kings rallies. Apparently Trump was also linked to the infamous panderer and there could be some fallout from that in the future similar to what happened with Prince Andrew. 

The movie Eyes Wide Shut was basically about Eprey Jeffstein and his Island of Capri set up. Those places most likely still exist here and there. It's just that Jeffstein was the most famous uh, manager, of such places. 

Israel still launches missiles into Gaza in spite of the Trump brokered ceasefire. What can you say in Israel? Old halvas, I mean, old habits die hard. 

I got half a dozen Tim Hortons donuts today including a few Boston Cream chocolate covered donuts with the custard in the center. I tried to look for one with strawberry jam in the center but couldn't find it. I was hoping that the chocolate contained flavinols. 

After searching Google, it said, No, there are no flavinols in the Tim Hortons chocolate covered donuts as the chocolate is made of processed sugar and artificial flavouring and food coloring. Oh well, I tried. 

I need to get Ashwaganda. 

Ashwaganda relieves stress. The conspiracy is that pharmaceutical companies want to supress ashwaganda as it cuts into their share of the market when in reality pharmaceutical companies have for years been well aware of a lot of things that cut into their share of the market such as cannabis, booze, heck even video games. 

There was another food that tik took said has added health benefits. 

Someone said in the comments, 

"That will cause prices to spike."

A reply to that comment was, 

"No it won't, love. Don't stress." 

Let's face it, over the decades there have been quite a few foods that have been touted as panacea superfoods from matcha tea to edamame beans and celery, and strawberries. 

Prices haven't spiked. This isn't the last time something will be touted as newly discovered properties in this food make it a panacea superfood. 

"If we don't fight for our rights, our grandchildren won't know the rights we once had."

Those rights didn't come from nowhere. They replaced another set of rights before it. The thing is, like people are born and then they die and are replaced with new people being born, rights come and go and are replaced with new rights. 

Every generation has its particular set of advantages and disadvantages. 

For example, in the early twentieth century, the gold standard was eliminated. People lost the right to have their paper currency converted into gold on demand. But then after that, a few years later, Black people got the right to vote. 

Biblical examples of: 

1. Wrong thinking: Anything worth doing is worth doing right. 

Right thinking: Anything too difficult is not worth doing at all. 

Biblical example. Saul on the road to Tarsus he wanted to stop all Christians. But then he saw a vision of God or else Jesus who stopped him. He then decided that stopping the Christians was too difficult and not worth doing st all. 

2. Wrong thinking: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. 

Right thinking: If at first you don't succeed, try again, and then quit. No use wasting time. 

Biblical example: The Tower of Babel. They tried and tried again but functioning in a society where there are so many language barriers with people thinking each others language is silly in terms of some quirk of grammar or syntax was a no starter so they all wisely decided to quit. No use wasting time. 

3. Wrong thinking: Never put off to tomorrow what can be done today. 

Right thinking: Never do today what can be put off to tomorrow or never. 

Jonah was summoned to go to the city of Nineveh. He decided to go on a boat to Tarsus instead, again, wisely deciding that it is better to put off to tomorrow what would have otherwise been done today. Then a whale scooped up Jonah and carried him to Nineveh anyways which goes to show that don't worry, in life, often, if you decide to not do something until later, that thing somehow automatically gets done. 

4. Wrong thinking: It is better to do something and get something than it is to do nothing and get nothing. 

Right thinking: it is better to do nothing and get something than it is to do something and get nothing. 

Not that the guy wisely decided in this case. There is a story in the Bible about King David who was then a general in the army helped a local war lord chieftain defeat his enemies in battle. The chieftain offered David's army a reward. David was honorable enough not to accept the award. But one man in that army thought that it was better to do nothing and get something than it is to do something and get nothing so he ran after the chieftain's representatives saying that he wouldn't mind some of that money. That man was otherwise destined for great things but after that, you never read of him in the Bible again.*

This life is a school. It is also a trailer for the afterlife. 

The afterlife is shockingly similar to this world. There are rooms with floors, walls, furniture, windows. There are outdoors with roads, vegetation, mountains, rivers, etc  Except in the afterlife, there are so many more primary colors than there are in this life. 

This life runs in 3G broadband while the afterlife runs in 1T broadband. One terabyte broadband. Only a personality who resides in the afterlife can handle this amount of broadband. A person who lives in this dimension of they were to experience 1T of broadband, the extreme levels of I-dosing, the atomic explosion of dopamines, the cellular concatenation. Why they would be dead! 

This life is a 3G broadband trailer for the 1T broadband movie which starts when a person gets to the afterlife. In the old days, trailers for all movies even trailers that said, Filmed in 70mm were shown in 35mm. The standard for most movies was 35mm film. Don't think that trailers for 70mm films were shown in 70mm as if it were Tron Legacy where the screen jumps from letterbox super panavision ration to 1:85.1 IMAX ratio. 

This life is the 35mm trailer. The afterlife is when the 70mm, heck 3-D IMAX movie starts. I don't know if any trailers for 3-D IMAX movies were shown in 35mm print. Neither answer would surprise me. 

And the friends, relatives, etc that have gone on. They were the ones who made cameo appearances during the trailer. 

Where a person winds up in the afterlife. A person creates the movie in the afterlife using the trailer they are in largely because of their decisions and perception and reaction to things. 

Every individuals experience in the afterlife is vastly different from one another just as it is in this life. 

A person creates the framework of their afterlife experience with their personality which creates a resonance. A person doesn't find their realm in the afterlife. The realm in the afterlife finds them! 

Every person goes to heaven, however, one person's heaven is another person's hell. For some people, heaven is a perpetual gothic themed heavy metal concert. 

As William Blake said,  "I would rather rule in hell than to serve in heaven." 

Jesus said, The golden rule is to do unto others as you do unto yourself. 

See, this is a rule as well as a commandment. A rule is like the rule of gravity. It happens anyways whether you want it to or not. 

You're gunna treat others as you treat yourself and also to treat yourself as you treat others. 

Oddly, people say claptrap to themselves that they wouldn't say to to a stranger on the street. Things like,  "You're better off dead."  "You're f*cked in the head."  "You'll never meet a romantic partner."   

As for the commandment part, a person should never ever say to themself what they wouldn't ever say to another person. 

However, being points on a curve, some people have no problem with saying the same insulting things to others as they say to themselves. Some people are psychotic. Bonkers. Delinquents. 

Even a life saturated with the most delinquent of delinquents has a way of going fast. Really fast. I remember having some major worries, the weight of the world on my shoulders. That was two years ago. Not much came of it. 

I'm taking the day off to rest my body and mind. 

I'm resting my body and mind through playing Arizona Sunshine VR horde mode, Canyon level, my favorite level. 

I'm going commando, playing as single player rather than multiplayer. 

As Eddie Murphy said in the newest Beverly Hills Cop movie, when he was shooting guns and driving fast in a car, "This is how I relax. Are you not relaxed now?" 

As for video game induced motion sickness, it is an involuntary thing. Its a strange thing. A person never actually moved but gets motion sick. 

You then realize that the brain is an energy grid that you are connected to and is not actually who you really are. 

As well, the physics of this dimension is not who you are. It is an energy grid that you are connected to.
