What’s going on everybody? I welcome you again to the show. This is going to be a brief journal entry. I just wanted to drop in and say hello and give my thoughts after this first week of 2023. In the short term you might see more of these short format blogs from me. As I carve out more time to produce, create and edit. I hope the new year is treating you well so far. For me I thought this first week was going to be more challenging than it actually was. I was expecting some really awful weather but it really wasn’t that bad. We had a few fierce storms blow through but nothing really extreme. As far as things happening in the world goes, as I watch my newsfeed and observe world events. I am continually reminded of that scene from Watchmen. It’s from 2009 but still one of the best superhero movies to date.  It’s the scene with Owlman and the Comedian. Now the Comedian is a character that seems to be based off the Joker. His outlook on life and the world was this all must be a joke. But not funny in the way of humor but funny in the sense of irony and absurdity. So he decided to become a parody of life itself. So in this there’s this huge chaotic riot taking place. Owlman emotionally looks over at the Comedian and says: “What happened to us? What happened to the American dream?” With a maniacal smile on his face Comedian brashly responds: “What happened? It came true your looking at it”. That scene has always stuck with me and that line pretty much sums it all up for me. I have a few thoughts on some the events of the week that stood out for me. To football player who had the cardiac event during the game. I do send him my thoughts and prayers and wish him a full recovery and a long life of good health. In regards to the controversy surrounding the incident I would like to say. There is no controversy. American football is violent and dangerous and there is risk involved, but it’s not bad violence because it’s competition not malicious violence.  We live in a society where we’ve worked to minimize the danger involved in these hazardous professions a lot of us have chosen. Like me I’m a truck driver at least for now. I realize that every time I get on the freeway I take my life in my hands. No should get hurt or God forbid killed just for doing their job but the risk still exist. All we can do try to be as safe as possible. 

Switching gears, I heard the Taliban has banned all women girls and from attending any college or even high school. Come on guys this is petty and ridiculous. This is me sincerely trying to be the voice of reason to you. This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The women of your nation are your greatest and most valuable resource.  As they are that of any culture.  Instead of acting like a jealous boyfriend a smart leader would realize to make the most of their people they should be educated so they can contribute to their society for the benefit of all. A forward moving society should rally around it’s best and brightest to elevate them as a whole. Notice I didn’t say its most successful. Due to the fact that some have gained success because they are just more opportunistic than others. Besides the ability to exploit and manipulate opportunistic are not necessarily bringing any talent or innovation to the table to help move society forward. Back to my original point. How are you going to find the best and brightest of your society, those diamonds in the rough those special people the geniuses who elevate everyone around them, if you are suppressing half your population. Your chances of finding those once in a generation individuals are greatly diminished.  As far as human behavior is concerned those who feel mistreated by authorities tend to respond by lashing out and abusing and oppressing those who they have authority over. For example a child who is abused by a parent may turn around and abuse his siblings or bully his classmates. I draw a comparison to how countries like Afghanistan and Iran have been kept under the thumb and society completely destroyed by some western powers. This is not a critic of mine but rather just an observation. To part of the reason why governments are reacting in this manner with these gross human rights violations. So that in the future when reasonable sane people control the world. We can look at the big picture get to the root of the problem. Create some real solutions instead of only trying to profit off of people’s dire situation for selfish gain. All the people of the world who are unjustly persecuted are worthy of our support. I will continue to speak out against regimes as long as they continue to oppress women. 

Switching gears recently saw a commercial for a show I’m not going to watch. I’m not discouraging you from watching it I don’t watch a lot of TV anyways due to my pretty full life schedule. Anyhow the show is about celebrating 50 years hip hop. Not to be the one to rain the parade I just wanted to point that unlike any other music genre in the world, hip hop has become a culture where 80% percent of those who become really successful at it are murdered usually by their peers. Over the years hip hop has allowed itself to become the vehicle that corporations along with the private prison industry have been able to use glorify murder, death, incarceration and criminality to children. I don’t say this to disparage the artform. I say this so we can remove the poison from our culture. End these horrible trends, move forward in a more positive direction towards brighter future that brings prosperity to all. That’s all for now cool people I have much more to say but I have other matters to attend to today.
