Wakes/ Funerals, Families and Me


      Families, some are close, some are apart and some estranged, but let someone die and everyone comes out of the wood work. It’s amazing if you have a family member die, how many people who you haven’t seen in decades suddenly show up. It doesn’t matter if your religious, or not or what religion you are lost relatives tend to pop out of the wood work.

      No one likes wakes and funerals and i am no exception at all. I hate the fact people want displayed after their death, for all the family and friends to see. I hate having to pretend to know someone you really don’t because it is family, but many in the religions of the world perform this rituals and ceremonies because it is what they were taught by their churches and parents. I understand the traditions and reasons, I don’t understand the real purpose of doing it all except the cost and hours the immediate family must sit there and greet strangers not really known to them.

       The American way of life promotes family and it promotes traditions , but this wake , funeral thing is one i will never understand or want for myself. I am a man who was outcast and a lone wolf for at least 24  my life, never wanted or cared for by my immediate family, just taken care of because I was theirs. I was beaten, harassed, thrown around and abused and mentally tortured in ways by my whole family as a kid. Then I was used to do work and rebuild a home with my step-father who, beat me with boards, shovels, lead pipes and more to keep me inline. In the meantime I never knew what a hug or a kiss from a mother was, she was too busy taking care of the only child she did care about her first. The rest of us, of which there were four more, were after thoughts is all. Yes she performed the protective angel part in front of friends and family, but let me tell you mom was not a loving woman. As her second husband said for all the years they were married, she had no motherly instinct at all.   Family is not necessarily, blood and flesh, nor are they always the ones you live with. But they are the ones who show up, assist you and care for you when you are down and out, or hurting in any way. That is the way family is supposed to be, not what was given to me as a child and son.

      Wakes and funerals even for a full-grown man are scary, and dark and sad. To stand there and greet people as my dead one lies there is not my thing, greeting people who may have known them but not us is rough too.  In the end I just couldn’t force anyone to go through that when I die. So for me I will have no part of wakes and funerals, but I will have The Service I honorably served in for my country, cremate my body and take my body to sea and bury me there. It is cleaner, less of a scene and I don’t have to worry who shall cry over me or not, or show up or not, I will be at eternal rest in the ocean from which all life came from in the beginning.

 

Two Kennedys, One King Jr. . and More!


Two Kennedys, One King Jr. . and More!.

Two Kennedys, One King Jr. . and More!


      Assassinations, they happened in big numbers in the 1960’s in America! We all know of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy too, but do we know how many of these great leaders were killed by conspiracies, to stop their climbs to the stop or their movements? We do now and shall forever more.

       John Kennedy was not killed by a lone assassin nor was Robert or Martin, they were killed by conspiracies that rocked America and the world. Taken down by bullets of more than one person’s involvement and two out of the three by more than one shooter. Why, simple, the people found these men leaders who they could follow to better the world and others found them radicals they couldn’t believe in or threats to their things happening. That is the purpose of these things, Assassins are meant to stop movements and people from becoming too big, and their followings too.

       Recently a woman has come forth in The Robert Kennedy assassination and said it more than once there were more than 8 shots fired in the kitchen in LA that day in 1968. She was there, she was an eye-witness who saw and heard the shots, the tape reveals she is telling the truth for 13 shots are heard on the only audio tape of the moment. Like his brother before him Robert Kennedy had a vision for America and a want to clean it up and take out corruption too. He was shot to prevent him from running rapid over crime and it’s organizations as well as to stop his rise to the Presidency.  Sad isn’t it how Americans kill the leaders that are doing good because they fear them. History has many examples of it too.

      James Garfield shot and died, from not the right medical treatment, Abraham Lincoln shot by Booth, Kennedy shot by Oswald they say, but really shot by at least three shooters, Martin Luther King Jr. a man preaching peace and justice and freedom, shot by a crazy man, who did not work alone, and then Robert Kennedy shot by Sirhan Sirhan and another in the kitchen in LA in 1968. Victims of believing they could make a difference in America and in the world shot down by extremists and people with different platforms to advance.

         In the 1970’s investigations were the thing to do in these cases, and  committees and commissions did them. Each time the murders of the two Kennedy Brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. are opened and reviewed the conclusion is the same conspiracies existed to stop these men from getting power in America and the world , sad isn’t it? I mean we grow the leaders, we help them become the leaders they are and then when they get so big they look like they can make a difference someone comes along and kills them all. You can blame Organized crime, lone nuts, crazy people, or you can look at the logic behind it and see, all of these men were feared for the places they could take America and the world for the positions they represented, by people involved in positions for the opposition, yes it is covered up and hidden, but no one assassinates anyone without a reason, it just doesn’t happen that way.

       The Kennedy Assassination and parts of its paper work and files and more are still sealed in Washington and  I am talking John’s death, till at least 2030 or further. When people ask for the information they get redacted documents hiding information, why?  The bottom line is the Government is withholding this information on the grounds it will expose the lack of effort to find the real killers and who really did it.

       Protect us yes, hide the truth and the facts no, we need a new set of lawmakers who can stand up in Washington, and get the information released and the truth told to all Americans and the World, the only way to save America’s future is not to hide its past mistakes and nuts, but to reveal it all and prevent it all from happening again!

Writing and Programs!


     Writing is a past time for me and I like to do it you see. It is like therapy for a mind stressed out or filled with nightmares and depression. A way to make statements to tell stories and events that happened in real life but change the names and places so no one gets hurt. Yet writing as much fun as it may be to relieve these things for people, it is also an art I am not great at. I try to, I try to I come up short sometimes, or make spelling or grammar errors or the story line is too boring or I repeat things. I have been working on the problems but I find there may not be too many writing places online that  have proper programs to post it all on the Internet with. They are faulty in different ways, no grammar checking, no spell checking, you have to align everything just right to make it work or it looks disjointed or messy or doesn’t line up right. It’s a slow painful process to put a decent story or book online these days.

       Microsoft‘s  Word allows me to set margins, indent, check grammar and spelling, and save as needed till I am ready to go on or end. Yet other programs do that too, but not as good as Word for me.  Each time you write a rant, a rave, a poem, a story or any other thing online including this blog you have to check it all out before you post it or it will never be read or understood if it is.

        Blogs are meant for different subjects and reasons and voices are heard worldwide in many languages and styles. Every nation, culture, race, color or nationality has bloggers today and that is vital to world communication and education. Bloggers today discuss the subjects that affect the world, their nations. politics and much more. That is the purpose of such an exercise and writing, to express what you feel or disagree with, or like, or hate in the written word and get it off your chest so to say, it does work folks.

       But serious writers, try to flesh out characters, locations, and more in stories, details are in the works so to say. I am learning as a writer not all my works are good or even worth reading, but I attempt anyway because I want to, number 1 and number two, because I believe somewhere out there is someone who will understand what I write and like it. All I can do is hope they come up with better writing programs to smooth it all out, help with grammar, dictionaries and formats and more. I try, Lord I try to tell my stories, poems, raves and rants, but sometimes unlike most writers I trip over words and make mistakes. But the ideas, the thoughts, the verses and more get out there and seem to hit some in the mind and heart. Thank God!

I Hate Spammers and Spam!


This morning I came to do a blog, who knows what it would be about, but the subject hit me, when I opened my blog page to write. SPAM!

       The internet was invented to exchange information, help each other and go worldwide, to educate and entertain. SO why do people SPAM blog pages and sites and attach their sites that have nothing to do with yours to yours? Jealousy, incompetence,attitudes, or they are just being total assholes. Why bother what someone else built and ruin it when you can build your own and enjoy it, simple laziness!

       The ignorance of people online in this world is amazing! As is the brilliance of others, but what gets me is why attack what you know nothing about, or a person you have no idea who they are? Stupidity, Hate, Discontent, Anger, what?

        It happens in all countries, all colors all nationalities, hate,anger, fear,pain,discontent, rules people who have no business bothering others but do so for the heck of it. Sadly this is world-wide, Spamming others and it shouldn’t happen the internet has so much room and flow and information, you can do whatever you want on your own. I don’t want to open my blog page to write my blog and find spam comments from sex sites, or spam for commercials, or anything else. I want to keep my blog clean and healthy and helpful if I can to the American People and the world. So why do people Spam I will be damn if I know, but I do know one thing it sucks, and it’s ignorant to do so!

       The internet allows you access to information, entertainment, games, libraries, pictures and history. To learn  lessons and jokes and conversations with others. It brings together people world-wide and happy in many ways as they smile thru it all, until SPAM shows up and ruins it all. Then we get Malware, viruses, and trojans and more floating around in the internet world, because people decided well we want to ruin it all for everyone including ourselves. Sad isn’t it, reminds me of Dictators  who have it all in their countries yet want more and attack the people or don’t listen, a  real pain in the ass!

       Sadly America and the world are going to face attackers and spammers and viruses and malware and more, because people get jealous, they get angry, they get upset over words and rants and raves and stories and poems and more and try to destroy what they can in anger. Sadly, maybe you should do one of two things, you spammers and haters, 1) change the web page your on if you don’t like it, or two get the hell off the internet and let it run and build information needed by billions. Stop messing with people’s builds, blogs, web pages and the information, or putting up X_Rated bullshit and ruining it for all. Stop!

 

What American’s Need!


      In American Society all is accepted mostly, but, some say a racial divide still separates up all. They say a line is drawn between the caucasian and african american and hispanic communities on different levels. If so please tell me why so many mixed couples walk the lands of America?

      Color, race, nationality, or any other difference should not divide Americans at all. You may disagree with me, but, no matter what country you go to in the world, these problems still persist. Yet, in America we live with it and each of us, no matter, white, black, or brown tend to segregate ourselves by neighborhood and who we are with. The color line was broken decades ago and it should have never existed in my mind. Color means nothing to me, not color, nationality, not race, or ethics but morals do to all. And they are what a society is built upon, not hatred and anger.

       Some have a problem with accepting each race into their lives and families or neighborhoods. Personally I don’t care what color you are, I do care how you and your family and children treat mine. Equal treatment for all and peaceful living is what is needed in America not racial wars and fights. Crime does cross over this line, due to ignorance, and hatred, but the ones who do so are ignorant and stupid. America does not need a racial war between blacks, whites and Hispanics and even Orientals, what we need is to keep the melting pot together learn from and accept each other and the cultures embedded in us all.

      I tire of the Reverend Sharpton and Jackson and so many others standing tall and asking for blacks to fight back.  Or white people like Rush Limbaugh standing up and pointing fingers at blacks or hispanics or any other race and calling them names or prejudice and discriminating. That is all crap and it just stirs the fears of each race up and causes the friction between them, when there really is none.

        Race is a problem in America because Caucasians created the problem by forcing african americans to come to america as slaves and that eneded decades ago.That ended decades ago now and we now under law are all created equal no matter race, color, creed or nationality. Lets stick with our constitution and make sure we do and all live in peace. We are all Americans we all bleed, we all hunger, we all want and we all love and hate. Lets do so in freedom, but together not in pieces or through divisions.

        When I was a little white caucasian boy in a project in the north end of the city I grew up in  I learned this. I was outside as a tyke catching bees in a jar in my backyard and missed one. When I did the yellow jacket got angry and stung me in the palm of my hand and I cried. Next door to us was a nice african american woman who loved children and she came rushing out and looked at my hand. She put a mud pack on me and pulled the stinger out and put a band-aid on it. Her name was Mrs.  Corey and she had two kids who were great too, one boy and one girl. We had all kinds of neighbors in that neighborhood and it didn’t matter, we all grew up and survived just fine.

      We don’t need hate speakers to anger anyone, we don’t need discrimination, predijuce, or any other problems to separate the american people. What we need is unity to better the nation, better all and the world.
