THE FALSE NATURE OF REALITY

I am sure you are looking for a significant picture of some sort but frankly this entry does not call for it. I was also feeling in an odd mood so I went to the fishbowl. In the kind of world we are living in we love to emphasize the concept of reality but I wonder if any of us really know what it is.

Reality defined correctly is somehting that did, or will more than likely take place at some point in some specific way. We cannot dictate reality, change it once it has happened and on top of that we cannot mask it to reveal what we wish. So then  why does reality have a false nature? Reality is one of those things that we love to try to mask because sometimes it's too fucking complicated.

I am a person that has suffered from that very syndrome of just wondering how I can make a situation from what it is to what I wish. I have realized that wanting things acertain way and actually having them that way are two wholly different things. In truth the world is too complicated for everything to align correctly.There are times when we "make it happen" but the truth of the matter is that those are few and far in between.

When we make those choices that we think are the right ones it turns out that we really are just doing one more thing that we are not truly sure of. It does not matter what we think or how strongly we feel because the truth and reality of one situation do not  really ever match the actual truth and reality we are faced with.

THE TIME IT TAKES TO REALIZE

They say that when you travel you head to the more enjoyable times of your life. The truth is that traveling is a pain in the ass especially when you are unfortunate enough to sit in front of crazy drunks whose main concern is to see how drunk they can stay through the flight.

I am not particularly crazy about traveling because when the situation is not favorable to begin with and you are alone there really is no purpose to it. The time it takes to realize what a mistake you have made in choices and for you to understand that everything from the trip to the destination is irrelevant when you lack what you want the most in this world is sometimes incredibly short.

WE LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES

After the terrorist attacks of September 11th the level of high alert everyone is on has become justified because the truth is that airplanes are now a huge source of concern for everyone trying to avoid terrorism. So why if you are traveling out of a US airport would you say that you have dynamite in your luggage?

A Guatemalan man was taken into custody after making the dynamite remark in jest. Part of the Miami International Airport's concourse J was evacuated while an Avianca flight was delayed for over an hour. The funny part is that the man was a 63 year old. You would think that a man that old would be a little wiser and a lot more serious but stupidity is not limited to youth always.

The man is in custody or was, I am not truly certain, and Miami International is back to normal. Interesting that now older people are acting like fools and setting examples of what not to do. Interesting times that we are living in people, interesting indeed!

ANGUS PLEASE THINK TWICE

I think it's great that people find their religion and decide that from that point forward they are going to do what is right for them. What I have a major problem with is when a tool without appeal decides he is going to become America's moral conscience. My reason for this statement is Angus T. Jones' sudden decision to shove his foot up the ass that feeds him.

Angus T. Jones is a lot like a cancerous cell, you know it's there and to some extent you tolerate it but you want it gone as soon as possible. Yes the title of the show he is a part of is Two and a Half Men but truthfully he was never really what made people tune in to the show. The real reason why that show was a massive hit was Charlie Sheen.

Just about everyone thought of Angus as that kind ridiculous add on that did not have a major purpose in the series. Somehow that ugly little porker became a large awkward piece of flesh that as of now takes home $8,000,000 per year and sits in some church couch saying the show is filth. The boy must have had four loco because he sounds like a dam idiot.

I wonder if the congregation Angus is a part of has requested a donation for the newest building or "temple of worship"? Hey idiot when your other testicle drops see if you can go from being the half man to the smart man.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO JEB IN 2016

So now the big early star of the Republican party seems to be Jeb Bush. I happen to think that given the vocal and highly questionable figures currently in the party's national scene Bush seems to be a perfect choice. Jeb Bush is for the most part reserved and has an approachable manner that really draws people in. Over his eight year tenure as Florida Governor Bush was very effective and stood out as a powerful figure in what was a chaotic national scene. While it seemed like his brother would take the spotlight and eventually he would Jeb would slowly emerge as a figure of a different sort.

Bush was very strong as Governor and he made many improvements while in office. Bush may well find himself short in trying to answer for his role in leading his brother to office and the start of eight tumultuous years in the American national scene. The truth is that it takes one act to completely overshadow everything you did that was good and effective.

For all his approvals for higher education in the state of Florida, funding for libraries, and environmental projects Bush is still largely remembered as a key figure in the election of his brother. If Jeb Bush decides to run in 2016 the only factors that may work for him are a thoroughly ineffective second term for Obama and either Biden or a weaker democrat running against him. Outside of those two scenarios Bush would face a very hard climb up the ladder to the White House.

TOP TEN DALLAS MOMENTS

As a way to pay tribute to Larry Hagman I thought it would be cool to compile a top ten of memorable Dallas moments. I compiled my own simply because I am sure that most fans of the series would disagree on some of them and on their placement. So here they are my Dallas Top Ten:

1. Who Shot JR?
2. The Return of Bobby Ewing
3. The Death of Pam
4. The Death of Jock Ewing
5. The paternity of John Ross revealed 
6. Pam and Cliff meet their mother
7. Ms. Ellie re marries
8. JR organizes a counter revolution 
9. JR is taken out of the oil business by the US government
10. The Ewing family defeats Jeremy Wendell

Dallas was an icon and it's biggest villain is gone but the moments will always remain. What are some of your favorite moments?

REALLY UGANDA?

Ignorance on an individual basis is downright annoying but ignorance on a mass scale is a crime against nature. I am not gay nor am I a gay rights activist but I think that everyone with more than a half a brain cell should attack Uganda's anti gay measures. We need to really understand this is Uganda, the country that employed Idi Amin as it's leader for a good 8 years.

Let me break down this particular bill which passed a Parliamentary Committee allowing it to move to another round of votes. The bill calls for life imprisonment for gay people instead of the original request for execution. Why is it that Uganda has such a screwed up track record for human rights?

I understand that religious groups have exerted an enormous amount of pressure on the government in order to go on and pass this measure. This whole notion is asinine for so many reasons that I would need at least a year to explain them all in detail. I wonder if the concept of separation of church and state ever filtered down to Uganda.

If you do not agree with a lifestyle choice then don't pay attention. The world is so plagued by violence and ignorance that it doesn't really need anymore of this bullshit. Whatever is considered natural or unnatural is for science to decide and the ultimate price is left to those that engage in whatever those behaviors may be. We are not the Karma police, come on Uganda grow the fuck up, Amin Dada is dead and the world is moving forward, join the line.
