What is the ratio of energy between getting in this country versus giving? The whole structure of this country is becoming increasingly based on we getting from one another rather than giving to one another.

People for the most part, at the onset anyways, DON’T CARE WHAT I WANT OR FEEL, THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT I EXUDE, WHAT I RADIATE! The person who longs for attention -but radiates… The person who doesn’t long for attention, but radiates… It’s all about what we exude! SOME PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT WE “EXUDE”, SOME PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT WE “HAVE”. And where most people will avoid what you exude, they will overlook it in order to get what you have! Some people overlook what you exude because they are filled with “unconditional-love”

Some people struggle to be themselves, some people struggle to not be themselves.

COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN!

The 10% rule: 10% of people are alcohol it’s 10% of people are gay… What else?

How many people in this country pray nowadays that are under 40?

*****If you stick around and let GOD do his thing…

For stranded planes and the like, they could have equipped people even back in the forties and fifties with something of a piercing sound to help locate. And flares of course they already had. Why not site and sound assistance to locate back in those days?

People who struggle to let people in are often hardly missed!

*****I don’t come to AA for the humor or even for the message because all those are hit-and-miss from meeting to meeting. I come here for GOD’S GRACE! Which is always the same!

That’s all they do is plaster these pretty faces all over these ads and try to lure us in –IT’S OLD!

Man as the manipulator! As long as we seek out those things OUTSIDE OF GOD -not readily offered or available to him -MAN WILL CONTINUE TO JOSSLE AND MANIPULATE TO ACQUIRE THEM! That’s the wonderful thing about Jesus is that there wasn’t anything down here on Earth he wanted that bad Except for one thing! And as worthy a desire as that is, he still refuses to compromise his principles! How many of us have compromised God’s principles for unworthy desires?

A guy born in 1957 is 63. A guy born in 1963 is 57. Interesting.

It’s easier to ask sane when you are sane.. It’s impossible to be angry when anger has been removed from within you. I used to try to control my anger. But it wasn’t danger it was horror. It was a 1000′ wave crashing down on me. It’s easy for a person who is sane to act sane. And all but impossible for a person who is insane to act sane.

Sometimes we stumble across an opportunity; and there’s nothing or no one around to get between us and taking advantage of it. Nothing but our conscience that is! I don’t know I think our actions define who we are but in this particular instance I would have to say it does.

On the one end, man’s needs companionship [no problem there right?]. On the other end, particularly now that the notion of rights and freedoms have been… are thoroughly in the process of being exploited, if not distorted -it is now [or is not now lol] a matter of “if” or “whether”… lol -It’s not as easy for a person to get their needs met in this country anymore! As a result we have dating sites [up there with paying for water lol]. I think it’s more of a woman than the man pushing these trends【safety issue】.

Is it safe to conclude that half the people in Alcoholics Anonymous are fearlessly/fiercely needy while the other half are fearlessly/fiercely independent? Past tense; well we’re all needy of course ‐otherwise we wouldn’t have took to drink!

Once upon a time people in this country thought JESUS was the man -now not so much. The United States went from the leader in Christianity to what? Hedonism! Even though perfection doesn’t change -man ultimately does . He gets bored. Or bold. Christianity is about giving while hedonism is about getting.

People in America are essentially selfish and self centered. Partly a spin off of stunted maturity. Who else do you think we managed to keep a tired old economic wheel turning. An economic wheel that has run its course. Ana’s son came to visit us one weekend. He helped us move from one apartment to the next within the same complex. During this time a young girl spotted Mike and actually had the guts to walk up to him and introduce herself. I mean the guy wasn’t there more than a couple hours and already a woman* was hitting on? Whereas myself I hadn’t had a woman hit on me in 5 years WTF???? Now the question is this, do you think this girl was thinking about how Mike felt or about how she felt? Or about how Mike felt in so far as how it would impact her? You see in a society such as ours it feels much better to garner one’s attention rather than have them turn their back on us. But if both are motivated by selfishness -then what’s really the difference? The guy passing by who sees a fat, unattractive woman on the side of the road with a flat tire who keeps on going versus the guy passing by who sees a slim, beautiful blonde woman on the side of the road are the flat tire who stops to give assistance. In many instances do you think that blonde gives a d*** what his motives are? Her ego’s getting boosted. And she’s getting the help she needs 🤷🏼‍♀️ The sorry side of humanity we only talk about when the “green-monster” is afoot! * The bottom line is this however close you may be -As long as the person fits within that range of closeness, they will be accepted or sought after. Mike being a local fit into that closed range of openness with this young lady. We’re as I have been living here for 37 years and have seldomly had similar experience. Mike managed to experience in a matter of hours what I have only experienced several times over a 37 year span. However closed someone may be, if someone fits within those parameters 🤷‍♂️ however unlikely the odds. But you don’t think it hurts like h*** to be the odd man out over and over and over again. To have these women shun you. Is it any wonder that with so much power in such a crucial area of human need, that so many men take to anger. This notion that women decide a man’s fate… 😠 😡 Men used to decide -but not in this country anymore. Used to be the women were angry. Now it’s both lol How far we’ve come. 😆 What hurts even worse is thinking all along that women are simply closed or conservative when in fact you’re living in a place and an era where women are more assertive than they have ever been before -and that they are simply closed or unassertive where you’re concerned. But truer to the matter is the fact that I have become closed. Unfortunately, far too many women are highly perceptive. They sense this and they won’t come within 10′ of you. And yet many of them are closed as well. But that doesn’t detour a man from approaching them. It seems quite the unfair game doesn’t it. They can be closed and a man will approach them nonetheless; whereas when a man is closed a woman will not. It has been a bitter pill to swallow. It’s a sad day when you look back on the hurt you’ve caused others -and almost lack regretting it when you realize just how selfish many of these people were as well. I have also come to the realization that the town I live in is not only deeply selfish, but often mean-spirited. Like Dale said, “many of the people here aren’t very sophisticated”.

What happens when 2 people feel they have been victimized by one another? Somebody always feels the victim but what happens when 2 people feel the victim? Victimization seems to be a common practice as well as a common attitude among human beings. We screw each other over regularly lol or as wiki puts it “up da wazoo” 🤣

Alcoholics Anonymous is filled with rooms full of people who prefer to concentrate on anything but themselves – While at the same time being all about themselves GET IT?

People do not appear to be as suspicious of humor as they are of kindness.

What happens to people iand societies that have too much time on their hands and no longer have any sense of urgency or real purpose?

I know what I was before I came into Alcoholics Anonymous. I was a lowly, calculating, conniving, preying on other human beings individual. Not preying in the sexual sense but in planning my next theft so I could support my drug habit. So, I don’t see anything wrong with talking about the good deeds I do as long as we give the credit where it’s due [but I try not to make a habit of it either]. I do good deeds because I have God in me. And I would do even more good deeds if I had even more of God in me. But I struggle with this. It’s good to keep things on the hush, but it’s also good to let others know that the changes in you are entirely God’s doing It’s good to keep things on the hush, but it’s also good to let others know that the positive changes in you are entirely God’s doing I tend to use the 2%-rule. 98% God 2% Rick. 🤷‍♂️

Whites took this land from the Indians. Through shear force! Would it be any more unjust if someone did it to us? It was about whoever was stronger not about right or wrong or Justice. The whites would perhaps argue that because the Indian was unwilling to share, that they were forced to take. The Indians felt compelled to defend their land. We feel compelled to defend this land. Where does right and wrong… Justice fit in?

I’m not by any stretch what one might coin a “master of men”; but perhaps a “master of mankind”. Mastery to be more to the point. I am aware of some of the mechanisms regarding the former. But by choice or by ill feeling, I cannot seem to produce them.

For some it’s hard to tell the truth about what really happened without falling prey to the temptation to avoid the least bit of scrutiny, the slightest chance of accountability being forced upon them, or just plain looking bad [ego].

It’s a wonderful feeling living a life where you don’t have to lie.

The Secret to “tellin’ the truth” is not doing anything you have to conceal.

The Secret to mastering anger is to be rid of it.

Many a man’s downfall is they get caught up in “a game” they’re just not suited for.

Some men don’t seem to have a problem with killing, but most do!

However out of place you may be in the universe, there’s always one place where you are perfectly suited. Don’t let the fact that some people appear to be suited everywhere detour/disparage you from this truth-this reality! Perhaps better suited than anyone else in the universe.

Perhaps man’s most formidable challenge is to become aware.

Perhaps man’s most formidable challenge is “lack of awareness”. Perhaps man’s most formidable opponent is “awareness” itself [having become aware…]. WOWWWWW!!!!

Pretty soon we’re going to have NFL games every day of the week. Money money money boys!!!!!

You know how you handle an overdemanding coach in sports? Same way you handle the penal system! You exceed their demands or expectations!

Only GOD can make something that happened go away. Only GOD can make something that happened never have happened.

As difficult as it is 🤔 WE WHO ARE EXPECTED TO REPRESENT A HIGHER PURPOSE AND TO ACHIEVE THAT PURPOSE THROUGH THE HIGHEST PRINCIPLES: America used to represent something above the rest -the hardest thing in life, in a world filled with a myriad of realities pulling or pushing you down [to their level or below it via threats real or perceived -mind games needling on one’s heart, one’s soul, one’s mind, one’s ego, one’s very survival and/or safety of our loved one’s included] -to hold strong to what you represent from start to finishà

The upside to having to compete with the rest of the males of the world where technology brings it right to your front door is that the rest of the schmos in your community are also being measured by that stick. 😝

Sometimes it takes me years calm even decades to figure something out or for a conclusion to come to me.

“Know who you are!”

“GOD perhaps wishes to spare me another devastating loss”.

You can’t outdo GOD! Every good emotion man is capable of feeling, GOD feels infinitely. Every ability man has that is good, GOD has that ability infinitely.

UNWORTHINESS 🤔

Some people make relationships work others say that h*** with this -which is closer to our creator’s design?

We are breaking down/smashing all old ideas in this country -including the ones that happen to have truth and merit behind them 🤷‍♂️

Something that is large and weighs 50 pounds will feel lighter than something that is small and ways 50 pounds.

We build a system that creates so much Strife and Stress [through making a living of excess], And then we need to throw our money back into the system to relieve ourselves of the Strife and strress which haunts us, which plagues us. Well apparently this seems to be working out for somebody.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Relationships should be the most important thing. But are they? Time and effort wise -not hardly! Sooooo, they suffer! What else would we expect? You want the most important thing to be everything it can be when it is not treated as the most important thing?

Everything is about relationships in the universe, in The Bible, in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous… EVERYTHING!!!!

GOD doesn’t have to worry about anything! And if we were adequately/sufficiently attached to HIM, we would have nothing to worry about either! THINK ABOUT IT! 🤔

Some people just feel LIFE too intensely. And/or they notice too many things that others miss. They just have to keep pulling back in order to save their sanity and conserve their strength.

Some people think 🤔 “HE’S GOD, HE doesn’t struggle or have anything to worry about”. I think HE constantly worries about us. I think HE constantly struggles with our anger towards him and are misunderstanding of him. I think HE struggles with giving us the things we want knowing full well they are not what’s best for us. Weighing between that and being labeled an uncaring FATHER. Isn’t that what kids always say when their parents don’t give them what they want!

Some people have the knowledge but they don’t have the gift or the touch. Some people have the gift or the touch but they don’t have the knowledge. Not sure what I have. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t do things the way people who get things do things. I don’t know if people are just the way they are who get things or do things the way they need to be done in order to get things. All I know is I don’t do things the way other people do things that get things. As a result of not doing things the way other people do things to get things -I don’t get things -usually lol 🙃

Your personality is formed by the time your what age? And what if you end up with a 🍋 🤣

To do things right can take a very long time. To develop to the point where you can do things but I can take a very long time. Your average American is not gonna spend years doing something they can accomplishment a moment or weeks or months by taking shortcuts i.e. cheating or lying. Most young men in this country are not well suited to the female counter part. Many of them have no clue what they would look like anyways. So they lie or cheat or pretend. Men and women in this country have a…. Can’t remember the word but they have an uneasy relationship. Antagonistic relationship?

A lot of people know a lot of things but they just can’t seem to get on board with them. Pretty typical for each of us in a particular area or areas.

The greatest actors are able to mimic everything we wish we could be.

If you can get a chick to have sympathy for you -that often works Let me rephrase that, when a woman feels sympathy for you as a man…. It can often lead to bigger and better things -for both of you

Some awareness is bringing us closer while others pushes further away.

Every semester when we would get our grants the University would be just waiting there to take all of it. It feels that way now with auto insurances and rent and gas and this and that in the other…

People can fall in love with a voice.

People find certain qualities attractive and certain qualities andattractive. Just about every human being has both. People look at each quality and give it a value. Or something else. Then they tally it up and decide whether they’re attracted to you or not attracted to you. Pretty simple when you leave out higher principles. Higher principles often tend to counter things. It’s what makes the difference even when the numbers don’t add up. Even when the numbers put you or someone else in the red. Pirate principles can put someone in the green even though they appear to be in the red. Higher principles can cancel out a lot of things-like canceling or forgiving a debt. But they can’t cancel out anything if they’re not a part of our repertoire.

Women are funny hype and when you have muscles they look at you one way when you don’t they often don’t look at you at all. The ones that act this way I find shallow.

When I was 15 and a 1/2 I experienced a 6 month window where older women were checking me out. Even 40 somethings

A lot of women look for a man who has a life, some excitement, some stimulation. Many women sort of mope around the house because they either have no imagination or no money to go out.

Most people are not 100% sure they can trust their partner. Otherwise when the s*** hits the fan there would be no argumentIs -but we know that’s rarely the case. IT’S ALSO VERY VERY SAD!!!

It’s great to be able to give quotes from people who are dead lol Go spit on their grave j******

We cannot expect perfection from ourselves or fellow human beings, but in my ears on this planet I believe it’s reasonable to expect basic decency and respect.

We’re forced to trust the government but they don’t trust us for s***. And we don’t even know the people in the government. Since when do you trust people without knowing them? The government doesn’t know us and therefore they don’t trust us -sounds reasonable.

When you approach somebody’s needs something it’s understood that it’s gonna be on their terms not yours. But is that always a reasonable supposition?

It’s like I used to tell the people up at the hospital: BY SEPARATING THE MASSES WE WEAKEN THEM AS A THREAT TO GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE AMERICA; BY BRINGING SEPARATION WE CREATE A VOID [LIKE THE WIRED-MOTHER-MONKEY THE INFANT IS FORCED TO BOND WITH RATHER THAN IT’S NATURAL MOTHER -ALL KINDS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTORTIONS SET IN AS WELL]. THEN YOU SIMPLY PLACE GOODS AND SERVICES INTO THE CAGE AND “VOILA”, YOU HAVE A SYSTEM OF HUMAN BEINGS ADDICTED, OR BEGGING, OR DESPARATE FOR PRODUCT ->ENTER “THE ADDICTIVE MODEL”. Alot of people think that they are truly interacting for example with others on their phones! Then why are they so addicted to things if they are sated? THEY ARE NOT SATED -BUT THEY DON’T KNOW THAT BECAUSE THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED IT IN THEIR LIVES. THOSE OF US WHO HAVE, “HATE WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME”. AND WHEN WE ARE GONE??????? THERE WILL NO CONCEPT OF BEING UNSATED BY “THE NEW WORLD ORDER” OF THINGS!!!!!!! ONLY WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW AND BELIEVE -WHAT A F*****G WORLD. So, when you bring disconnection between the masses -what you have essentially do is weakened it; and turned it into a hungry machine. 😋 😜 😉 😀 😏 😆 😋 AGAIN, YOU SIMPLY INSERT WHATEVER YOU WISH -AND PEOPLE WILL GRAVITATE TOWARDS IT [AS A CERTAIN ASPECT OF OUR BEING, AFTER THE FALL AND DISTORTION SET IN, HAS A CERTAIN AFFINITY FOR THE MATERIAL -AND GOD, WITH SOME PROMPTING, CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE EQUATION AS WELL, CREATING AN EVEN GREATER “VOID OF NEED”]. How stupid are we -even in the marvel comics, and in dystopia literature it states -the new way to power is to have people give over their freedom willfully! Isn’t that what we did post-911?

Many women think they’re a different breed from us men -a better breed. I wouldn’t totally agree with that. Were definitely different in certain ways. Or should I say -people use each other in different ways; men and women alike. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

We use people all the time, with an understanding of course. Does that make it all right? And then of course there are those who use people without an understanding and that definitely is not understood as OK.

It said that people will only do things for money that they won’t do for love. Just as it is wonderful that people will only do things for love that they won’t do for money.

I’ve never heard of anyone getting better taking someone else’s inventory. And rarely have I seen someone get better hearing what they wanted to hear. It takes a special person to get better hearing what they want to hear.

You know what’s interesting about bodybuilders? They don’t choose the path of least resistance. They take the road less traveled in a sense.

Right now at this very moment just in our country alone there are people after people. They’ve decided to take it upon themselves to judge and punish another human being. And this very day someone will succeed.

And also this very day some people will realize the error of their ways.

Everybody sends a message. The Bible sends a message that sex outside of marriage is not cool. Hollywood send a message that sex outside of marriage is cool. So who do the majority of our youth listen to? It’s interesting how a certain % of young people with a good head on their shoulders tend to refrain from sex outside of marriage. Certainly not the ones who do not have a good head on their shoulders. The Bible doesn’t merely say don’t have sex before marriage because it’s wrong, what they’re also saying it’s not a smart move. Write down a list of all the things that can go wrong with having sex outside of marriage, having sex with someone you hardly know or just met… Having sex with someone you have no intention of spending the rest of your life with. Having sex with someone you have no idea whether or not you want to spend the rest of your life with. Having sex with someone you have no idea whether they are married or in a relationship already or not. Whether they’re lying or telling you the truth about themselves…. Whether they’re healthy or unhealthy. And if it’s your 1st time whether or not you feel OK about doing so with someone outside of marriage or not. Whether you feel safe or don’t feel safe outside of marriage having sex.

Just because your idea of GOD doesn’t include… doesn’t mean it proholibits GOD from…

All my life I thought I had to do something only to discover that I only need to be. How God-made me and what God-made me are enough!

Some people deserve better than just another human being -in GOD’S eyes.

For many a man it is simply not enough to receive with gratitude what GOD has graced them with. He has to take credit as well.

You are something else than what you show people.

When was the last time the whole world agreed on anything? That d***** self will.

Man refuses to unite. It takes a major crisis just to have a 1/2 a** unity.

You pull out of a horrible experience and for what? You never quite right. You’re never quite the same. You’re never all you were intended to be.

Some people manage to close out the hardest part of the process -but can’t seem to manage to close out the easier parts.GO FIGUR 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Ah yes, let’s talk about the movie fwith Denzel Washington. On the remote possibility that under the influence the pilot actually acted in a manner in which he normally would not and save lives rather than…. But they would never buy that. You cannot break a law and then be awarded for the outcome. People just.. It seems to be beyond us.

I don’t gel with addicts I don’t gel with non-addicts. I don’t gel with alcoholics I don’t gel with non-alcoholics.

Acoholic beverages are a mild form of poisoning.

t appears I have plenty of life left and no one to share it with

This environment doesn’t soup me! But what is it about this environment that doesn’t allow me to settle in?

There are people all around us. We never know whether we can help them or not. Many times we don’t even know they’re in distress. It’s important that these things not remain as they are. I encountered a young lady who committed suicide and never even knew she was hurting. I encountered her numerous times at the treatment center I volunteered for. There were many opportunities to get to know each other on a somewhat more personal level. But I chose to keep my distance because other women had chose to keep their distance. As a result I never knew. It was not one of those who treated me as if she wanted to keep her distance. She was very normal and open so it appeared. 😔

H*** I can f****** without drinking. Must be something in the jeans lol

I used to screw up on tests at school because on a multiple choice questionnaire, some of the answers were so obvious -they couldn’t possibly be right write choice. So I choose another answer and then check the test later and sure enough… On 50 questions ever at least 4 or 5 like this.

There’s nothing extravagant or exorbitant or extraordinary about my life’s story. Therefore; I have no earthly explanation explanation for where or how the scope or diversity of this knowledge comes from. Maybe everyone has this -and I’m just a quite an ordinary human being 🤷‍♂️ Maybe other people just don’t write about it 🤷‍♂️ And if they d, perhaps they just keep it to themselves 🤷‍♂️ WHO KNOWS 🤷‍♂️

So tonight November 30th 2022 I’m watching the movie fly and I just want to strangle this guy. But then I get to thinking to myself about how I could f*** that whole thing up sober. Maybe it’s in the jeans

Success has never been one of my strengths!

***** I have failed over and over again -and that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan poster at the meeting up on the wall at MESILLA Valley hospital.

*****It’s all about being open to GOD; whether it’s in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, or outside of the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. It was pointed out to me/dawned on me a long time ago that the steps and the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous are for people who can no longer sustain a relationship with GOD who by the way sustains ordinary non-Alcoholic people’s ability to control their drinking, WITHOUT OUTSIDE HELP! Once you see things differently, as they are, the principle[s] behind the principle[s] so-to-speak, a whole new world [of possibilities opens up.

If I did things the way other people do things I would be getting things that other people get. I would be enjoying things that other people enjoy. Suffering things other people suffer as well. 🤷‍♂️

*****HARD TIMES SCENE WITH JILL IRELAND You can think your way into or out of anything. F.E.A.R.

I always wanted more out of my relationship than what most people were willing to settle for. It’s always been my downfall oddly enough! Or maybe it was that I wasn’t willing to work hard enough myself 🤷‍♂️

The mind is perhaps the most powerful tool a human being can possess -next to GOD of course. Very few people understand its power -next to GOD of course. If you can imagine that 🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠

Getting “REAL” is perhaps man’s greatest achievement; NEXT TO “BECOMING LOVE”! I had forgotten this one a couple of days ago and GOD, true-to-form, answered my prayer 🙏🏻

Sometimes GOD makes sure the forgettable are unforgettable. The forgotten are unforgotten!

DREAM: Go to your checking account online and find about 6 or 7 more 0’s than what you should have ATTACHED TO THE END OF YOUR BALANCE 😆

Regarding recent events I’VE BEEN A FOOL!

There’s 2 categories of people with filth on their mind: The predator in the prey. Overkill. I used to an example a while back about how people who have been wronged become the wrongers. The victims become assailants. Anyways back to our story. There’s 2 kinds of people with filth on their mind: The people who pray on other people; The victims themselves. When somebody has something in mind to exploit another human being, they are guilty of an offense. But what about potential victims who are leary of a person for example, who is trying to do it honest or good deed. Let me set up the scenario. A man with perfectly innocent intentions offers a woman a ride whose car is in the shop? She refuses because she thinks he has bad intentions. The man has no bad intentions -but the woman is bringing bad karma into the situation all on her own. Who is the guilty party in this instance? And don’t give me that s*** about protecting yourself. Just answer the question. “Who is the one bringing filth into the situation?” EXACTLY!!!!!

You know not everybody in the world is so suspicious as we Americans. Explain that to me? It’s what we’re doing to each other in this country that’s the problem. Or what we’re not doing.

You call up a company and they tell you that the system automatically… Yeah, but the system has no feelings one way or the other! We cannot afford to eliminate feelings from any situation. Certainly not principles. Of course you could argue that feelings and principles are the basis for the programming behind tbehind the system. At least you would hope there would be.

I’m more relaxed and myself around a woman I’m not attracted to. Don’t think to much about them; Don’t give them too much power!

I never knew how bad SMOKING made me feel until I quit. SMOKING is like dropping a from in room-temperature water then turning up the heat slowly. Same is true of ALCOHOLISM and ADDICTION!

The woman who raised me was not once but twice removed from my piers generational speaking.

Some people look at people with suspicion [the negative]; some people look at people with hoping to recieve some kindness. Hoping they are kind rather than dreading they might be maliscious.

The more you go thru, the more you have to offer!

Angry at others for hurting us? Or angry at ourselves for… or because… we placed ourselves in… or we are too weak, or too sensitive for example.

You can have social skills for example but be f***** u* another areas. In other words you can get into a relationship on the front end with ease but on the back end it’s doomed to fail over and over again. My problem is on the front end. And if you can’t get in on the front end you can’t even determine how you will fare with regard to the back end.

Some people have good social skills but poor/bad relationship skills. Some people have good relationship skills but poor social skills.

Retrograde programming. Devolved programming.

Some people will spend as much as you give them.

Man’s… To a man who has known only aging, never aging would seem like one h*** of an experience. To a man who has never known aging, aging would seem like one h*** of an experienced. I’m sure they have a name for these sorts of things. You know, opposite sides of the coin…

*****What person ever started drinking or drugging to destroy everything that ever meant anything to them?

GOD keeps telling me over and over “DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING”.

You see our landscape changing as well as our attitudes as people in our society become more and more dishonest and untrustworthy. For 50 years a chain link fence was sufficient to protect belongings of my buddy’s pawn shop. Do the several attempts at breaking in they’ve had to resort to welding horse corral fencing over the chain link fence. And what about the attitudes… some people seem almost immune while others seem to be affected deeply.

What do people [Alcoholics/Addicts] often do when we lose someone? We fuck up –WE DO EXACTLY WHAT “THEY” WOULD NOT WANT US TO!

You have some very deep feelings on that particular subject or aspect of your history or aspect of ycur current life – Don’t make light of it; and try to be sympathetic to the symptoms indicating such.

A man comes up with an idea by whatever means or chance or fate… He or another man comes along and stumbles upon it… and tries to use it to his advantage -> THIS IS THE EVOLUTION OF MAN!

It’s amazing how truth hit different men in different parts of the globe in relatively the same span of time or a short span of time between. Flight? Cure for certain ills? Radio…?

When these riding’s come to me they are so clear calmer that I am under the illusion that I will never forget them. Often times with the slightest hesitation they vanish.

The truth repeats itself, and reverberates and echoes throughout history -from beginning to end!

NO SIREEE- YOU DO NOT want to “F-around” with those thing! When we’re young [and naive] we think we have all the time in the world.

COURAGE & CHARACTER

Some people want companionship but they also do not have the discipline or the reservation or the consideration of refraining from seeking company ship they are unable to allow and accept people who they are or they are unable to refrain from trying to mold that person to their “manner of living” or “manner of being”. I spoke to a gentleman yesterday who had stated that hes not in a relationship because he has certain interests and he figures most women would not care for that manner of living and so he chooses to remain. He also stated that if by chance someone should come along that would enjoy the manner of living that he enjoys that would be great too. I think there’s a great lesson here for all of us.

HUMILITY IS NOT in every man’s BLOOD!

Some people live [participate in] life and are able too….

A lot of people would like to have their fears removed. But apparently there’s a flip side to that. You go where angels fear to tread.

Some people are stingy as all h*** in spite of all they have been blessed with; while others are quite liberal in spite of all they have not been blessed with 🤔

As I’ve said before when you get rid of the lines and business you pay for the way for one person at the top. When one company or multiple companies under 1 rule, take your pic commare distributing food for example they can push 1 button and put a stop to it. It’s too much power! That’s why this country instituted limitations. But naturally man has worked and worked to do away with those limitations. Man can’t seem to see the point in living if he cannot further his [state] status! Once you reach a certain ceiling you have to bust the ceiling so that you can continue upward or downward depending on what it is you’re pursuing regardless of what you think your own personal definition of ascending happens to be. Anyways we see the same blurring of lines or breaking down of borders with regard to ethnicity and religious beliefs in this country. We just want it to be a bunch of muts and with regard to religious beliefs we all simply have our own truths-a flimsy proposition at best. Under these types of existences anyone can come in and take over the masses. We’re all just a bland conglomerate…. I say the h*** with those people who want to be on top -There’s only one on top and that’s GOD! And if you try to take HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE -you’re in for a world of hurt!

When people are quick to believe something that is not supported by facts they are either naive or they want to bieve it! The girst one isn’t necessarily a sin but the second one… When a person is quick to believe gossip for example… or hearsay… It’s often easy to trick a person into believing something they want to hear. Women for example fall for this all the time with a man trying to swoon them.

Oftentimes in life it appears to be a matter of how much one can take more than anything else.

Amazing how these accents in our country remain generation after generation after generation. You heard the old saying about lining up 10 people and starting out with one rumor and then at the end of it it’s completely different? Well look at the feeling that’s not the case with accents -or is it?

Some people have really good lives and really good partners and even really good children. But I wonder 🤔 Just how effective they would be at writing a song about the blues? Or just how successfully would be writing about certain aspects of life, THE HUMAN CONDITION… Perhaps an example is worth a 1000 of these writings –I don’t know!

The 10% who managed to stay sober and alcoholics and autumn but still have to deal with the same things 90% of people go out and get drunk over.

Some people find ads useful and others like myself rarely a favor buy anything from an ad.

There’s 2 kinds of self-esteem: the kind that comes from within; and the kind that comes from without.

The only crime about being poor is those who are unwilling to help them. Or wasting your own GOD-given abilities to support yourself adequately!

There is “knowing better” and there is “knowing better”.

If you get sober later in life rather than earlier, you still talk all the “life’s-experience” into it that others who got sober your may lack.

Life never hits us when and where we’re prepared!

Physical Miracles; Emotional Miracles; Psychological Miracles; Spiritual Miracles… in the rooms of AA/NA!

When you’re on top, there’s only one direction people can take us… JESUS being perfect, there was only one Firestone people could take HIM in! 🤷‍♂️

Which do you think is more important personality or heart? It depends if the society is shallow or deep.

Some people are bothered by what other people think of them and some people are not bothered by what other people think of them. Some people should be bothered by what other people think of them and some people should not be bothered by what other people think of them 🤔

It’s an interesting philosophy, “I don’t care what’s wrong with me as long as it doesn’t interfere with my meeting my needs”. Think about that concept. 🤔 💰 causes a lot of people to overlook things in others who have it. The more you have the more people are willing to overlook 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ MORE OF “THE GAME”

Some men are gifted with attracting the most beautiful women in the world and yet they have little to feel proud of. Some men are gifted with not attracting women at all and yet they have nothing to feel ashamed of.

I have a lot of admiration for men who can take abuse from a woman and not strike back.

I have a lot of admiration for people who can help someone in need with the promise of being paid back and don’t get paid back and continue to help because it’s more important to them to help. Because things like money aren’t everything.

My personality has been pieced together by my mind -no small feat!

Drugs and alcohol were not my worst problem when I arrived at the doorstep of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Youpperson B is not seen as good enough for you… and the cycle goes on-and-on. We hate being rejected but we turn around and do the same to somebody else we don’t feel fits into our little world. Or that we simply don’t want to be a part of it. Who would have thought that accepting person B is key to me being accepted by person A. But naturally I won’t do it. Either the cost is too great or I just don’t believe in the connection or dynamic or truism or karma behind it.

Some people are leary of the world and watching out for people who are looking to exploit or take advantage or abuse them. My counselor told me that looking at the world as a bad place is an overdramatization [based on prior trauma]. Apparently he believes the world is not largely made up of bad people. My issue with people is not that I’m worried about running into bad people [so much as] but worried about running into people who are not good. You see I’m looking for quality people. Whereas a lot of other people are looking out for bad people -you see the difference? I don’t think I have to worry too much about bad people because nobody seems to want anything to do with me or from me in this town. There may not be a lot of bad people in the world but there are a lot of good people. So if you raise the bar ever so slightly you begin to run into a whole new level of disappointment.

Lawyers can’t guarantee the results but they guarantee getting paid. Normally in business you pay somebody for results not to just give it their best. But because people have their backs against the wall with legal issues; lawyers feel inclined to be able to skirt around this basic understanding when money is exchanged. PEOPLE -WHAT DICKS! Life is filled with all kinds of challenges and in this case judges and juries are just another one. You’re paid for results. Otherwise the rest of the world would be running around making excuses it’s as well and corporate America would be on its ear. You don’t produce results you get fired. It always comes down to power -and lawyers take away your power by demanding payment up front. Tell them to all go take a jump in the lake and see how quickly they change their position. Of course a lot of the public would have to suffer the sacrifice of the transitional. And of course people do not want to be the sacrificial lamb so things never change

America has social norms for dating and meeting people. If you don’t follow them you’re apt to be looked at with skepticism or reservation or apprehension. But if you look at the results of American relationships-why take anything on faith with regard to that. I mean Americans don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to relationships in most cases. So who gives a d*** about their norms. America is largely about image and smoke and mirrors anyways.

In America these days it appears that good advice is for people who can afford it.

“THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE THAT…” MIKE 7AM BEGINNERS. AS I WAS THINKING “SOME PEOPLE CAN STOP GOING TO AA BUT CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A HIGHER-POWER AND STAY SOBER. IT’S MOT AA THAT KEEPS US SOBER -IT’S GOD IN AA that keeps us sober! There are people like that.” AA IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR NATURAL ABOLITY TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP W/GOD!

Get to the most inner… Get to the most outer…

I’m not here to make friends… but I am here to… but I am here to influence people!

When I could stop, I didn’t want to. When I finally wanted to, I couldn’t!

2 bullies of Alcoholism

*****The reason a lot of people don’t get sober at churches they’re not open. But you know what else is interesting, a lot of people don’t get sober in AA because they’re not open.

Sometimes I see people from behind, and they appear vulnerable, and I feel compassion for them or love or something of that nature. Vulnerability is something many human beings do not sit well with, but it is something that opens up a door inside of other people’s hearts around them sometimes.

People here don’t seem to do a very good job of validating one another in the town I’ve lived in for a number of years.

To me it’s a slap in the face when people don’t acknowledge me. So if I literally slap somebody in the face who is involved by not being acknowledged otherwise, would we be even?

When I was younger there were things that I had to deal with that I was aware of that I did not deal with and I paid a price for them. Now that I’m older there are things that I have to deal with that I cannot be aware of because they do not surface until later and now that I’m older and have the responsibility and the willingness to deal with them I cannot because I’m unaware of them. What a life sighs 😕

As long as when you screw up it’s not done with malicious intent… chances are God will help you through it even without asking for his help or forgiveness. But if its malicious in nature… Some extra effort on our part will likely be required.

When GOD HIMSELF sends someone to help you and you respond with suspicion-who is the one bringing filth into the situation?

Oh yeah, people like fun -it’s up there with…. It’s sad the alarming number of women who fall for a guy they have fun with. I think kindness is far more valuable and admirable a trait.. Even more so than humor. But these are the kinds of things many people go for in a society such as ours. For being pleased seems to be the name of the game. Pleased, pleasured… there’s a fine line going from one to the other.

I have so many things going for me but I guess the disparities are so great that even those advantages cannot overcome them. When you look at all the men out there who do not have what I have personal issues as well come and still manage a life, of family…. Jeez it looks pretty bleak.

Naturally many of us would like to believe that the traits inherent to us as individuals are the ones that should be valued the most among our fellows. Thus reaping those common rewards also inherent in us that we all seek or long for.

Allow GOD to take care of you –even if it means doing without [even losing] the things you love, cherish, yearn for most.

As the clock ticks away, as time passes, is it necessary for certain things also to pass which we would have remain?

As you become better and the people around you do not, they will inevitably enjoy the fruits of your evolution; while you inevitably suffer the fruits of theirs.

What you carrying you is what comes out of you. I’ve tried exuding from myself something other than what was in me-it doesn’t work out too well for me. Some people however have some wonderful things within them and when they come out they bring a special feeling to those around them who get to experience it.

Just because The Times have changed and we are afforded freedoms that are inherent in the Constitution to begin with, doesn’t mean that this country is gonna stand by and allow those freedoms to wreak havoc and harm on it.

When you don’t feel good, you just go with it and wait for the 🌞 to shine again

On death or perhaps how I will die. 🤔 …Probably…. People don’t like to hear about these sort of things. And Americans are no exception.

Maybe like the Levites, GOD wants me all to HIMSELF! 🤷‍♂️

Some people think very little about the fact that they have no partner. Some people think about it all the time. In my particular case -I think it’s the early losses that are what really haunt me. Or, maybe a relationship partner or something significantly important to me. It’s hard to tell. A wiser smarter person probably could figure it out if they really wanted to go to the trouble or if they were paying attention to past…. But not me. I suppose it could be some of both in my case. But maybe not.

Very few people love purely. Even a great many parents struggle with this. To be able to divorce ourselves or simply to be divorced from everything that would tear away at love i-IN IT’S PURE FORM…

People who don’t seem to care what other people think have a certain.. I couldn’t seem to command a certain amount of respect. I don’t mean to go around running off at the mountain act and silly what I mean as they just come across as very natural and very confident which a lot of people seem to admire -but there’s something else there is well

It’s Paramount that we learn how to master and control our gifts. For various reasons. An uncontrolled gift can have ranging from annoying to catastrophimpact on those around us.

Imagine people not doing anything and the feelings they would begin to experience. Some men can train themselves to not do anything and still remain at peace. But for the rest of us it’s a necessity you could argue. So if that’s the case then we must position human beings to do things that are productive and sensible. Not half passed or meaningless. If we do not do so then what do you think we’re gonna end up with? People certainly aren’t going to refrain from actions even if the situation presented can only result in half hazardness or meaninglisteness. Not that you can’t take anything and turn it around or turn it to good but…

A spray that can manifest into a microphone or camera that remains looking like spray [on the surface]. A microphone or a camera or some other technology.

There are so many different kinds of people in the world and it only takes a certain percentage to be a threat to put everybody on alert against the entire population. What might that magic number be? I think we’ve reached it in this country. Either literally or through propaganda or through word-of-mouth or through subliminal messaging or some other kind of manipulation going on to keep us afraid and separate and weak and reliant upon….

Nobody had tolerance for me when I was screwed up but they expect me to be tolerant. Man in his double standard.

Any time there’s a threat to mankind. Different nations whatever; Different citts, different communities… They immediately take measures to defend their physical well being. It’s always the same. They act as if it’s the end all be all.

Even though men know things are going all the h*** they will still tell their wives and their children everything’s going to be OK.

Why is it that throughout the day my blue ray remote control works with something in between it and other times during the day it doesn’t?. You may think this is a trivial or inconsequential observation or query -but is it? And furthermore common some of the dumbest questions turned out to be the most intelligent or vital.

The more you’re able to observe and reduce the fewer questions you have to ask.

*****Feeling comfortable in our own skin.

*****Believing in ourselves again

As you begin to grasp the higher[st] concepts -you begin to let loose of the lower ones. Like an absolute tool. Who would use a calculator when they have a super computer.EXCEPT OF COURSE…

Sometimes there are instances where the Psychiatrist or Psychologist learns more from the patient than the patient does from the psychologist or the psychiatrist.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

I doubt if they’re truly random-these writings.

Ever try to pursue an intimate relationship with your mind? To make a connection with others with your mind?

At the 1st signs of a perceived major threat we’re all scattered about -fearing for our lives. Which gives the opponent in advantage. Anything we hold of value which can be threatened is a disadvantage. JESUS taught us that nothing can harm us so long as we place value on that which cannot be harmed or taken away. Our children are often will put us at the greatest disadvantage.

Sure come there’s a lot of caring in the world. There’s also a lot of uncaring in the world. Both quite imperfect to make matters better and worse. Something imperfectly negative and something imperfectly positive.

If when it comes to fighting for example, you know what you’re doing and the majority of experts will concur. Then, if you win a match you obviously know what you’re doing. But if you lose a match are you still considered to know what you’re doing?

The only way to guarantee a win is to eliminate all risk – And so it is with GOD, with the hereafter. Place yourself in a position where no matter what happens you have nothing to worry about. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ BELIEVE! DO RIGHT!

Sure there’s a cost -nothing’s free. But with some things you get more for your money than others. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ And with GOD…

You look at the tidal wave brought against JESUS by the powers that be. Man gets hysterical all the time when he feels threatened. Did JESUS flinch though? Nor should we!

I guess some people just allow it or themselves to be captured? I refuse to. One possible take on relationships The engaged versus the lonely

You meet someone who looks attractive and you either become more attracted to them or less attracted to them.

BBB/EBB Blood-Brain-Barrier/Emotional-Brain-Barrier

The world’s collective experience [and it’s median] versus individual experience? Very different in many cases I suppose. The world’s median being the constant [little fluctuation, or variation from it’s baseline –the 🌎 is the 🌎] same could be said of the individual in many instances, but each baseline when compared -from individual-to-individual, is quite different, ranging from DULL, TO INTERESTING, FROM HEAVENLY TO CATASTROPHIC. OF COURSE THE BASELINE OF THE 🌎 WOULD ENTAIL/ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE ABOVE [INCLUDE EVERTHING WE AS INDIVIDUAL’S EXPERIENCE] -SOME INDIVIDUAL’S BASELINE IS COMPARABLE TO THE WORLD’S -AS REMARKABLE OR HARD AS THAT MAY BE TO BELIEVE. WHEW….

What people say may have merit but what they do may not. I care about Anna deeply, my actions bear that fact. But she doesn’t seem to believe it. The intro prior to this may make no sense [apply]; so maybe you can develop your own…

Places where the men are more conservative and respectful, the women are more open and friendly. The portion of my rehabilitation which involves my personality has not been able to be accomplished because I’ve lived in a place that his backwards. Some would say I’m attractive, intelligent, kind hearted -MOST MEN HERE ARE NOT! Hence, this has availed me nothing in this ass-backwards town.

Many men are in fact slaves to their women. This is something I’ve struggled with all my life in the long term. I’ll play that game for a while and then -screw it. Men have to… Many women in this country for example have an attitude of either entitlement or empowerment. What that translates too is if you don’t please me to a certain degree… eventually… YOU’LL BE REPLACED. On the other hand, I understand there’s a lot of women who later in life end up choosing to be alone because they just don’t wanna bother anymore. Too much expectation? I suppose that’s to be expected, to go along with the territory. Many men more-or-less “give in to get”. I mean it’s not that way in every situation but from what I understand, “if you want to get -you have to put up with”. I asked a friend of mine a couple of years ago who happened to be single -Or rather offered up an explanation [theory]. I conveyed to him that my sense was that a lot of men have to tolerate their partner in order to make the relationship work. His response, “Women are a pain i* t** a**”. 🤷‍♂️ BTW A lot of people in the circles of Alcoholics Anonymous have an enormous amount of respect for this individual [and rightly so given his demeanor, boundaries, reasonable nature]. I suppose I can be open about this since he is now recently deceased.😔

Some things I can do standing on my head. Things most people would find extremely difficult to do sitting down.

People who are humble are a lot easier to get along with -there’s a message in there for all of us Americans.

If you are at your best, if you are at your pinnacle, people can only tear you down.

I just don’t think I wanna play the game. What is the game? The game is it’s all about me and what I want. Game is all about how I feel 1st. The game is all about build-up my ego. Stimulate my senses and oppositive way. Calm my fears.

Just because you happen to make better decisionstudents or have different feelings rather regarding certain moral situations from someone else-doesn’t make you a better person necessarily. People act or choose differently for many different reasons within themselves. Not all of them necessarily moralistic in nature.

I guess some people would agree that in the end it comes down to the final consensus on how we feel about one another. Many people are a collage of positive and negative and yet they managed to come up in the green and people’s hearts and minds. It’s a matter of fact some people find it even more special place in their hearts for individuals who are both cantankerous & rambunctious ->ornery. Other people don’t inspire much of anything or the final consensus is that people are put off by them. One of the great challenges or needles in our side is how we affect 1 another. I guess the bottom line with me in spite of all I have going for me is that I really don’t have a very high opinion of humanity. They never seemed to have much of one regarding me 🤷‍♂️

People don’t realize how deep in the red they are with GOD –and they still want more from HIM!

Immature people tend to look down on people with regard tocertain natural inclinations. Ban who’s interested in a woman for example is a natural inclination correct? How many times have peopl have been judged on this alone? A man who’s interested in a woman [and approaches her] for example is a natural inclination correct? How many times have people been judged on this alone? Yes-sirrrreee when there’s heat in the air human beings tend to take notice. Why don’t you just mind your own business!

People who know who they are are of particular fondness to many people -if for another other reason, other people know who that person is and what to expect of/from them.

I have found it particularly difficult to discover who I am in the face of a community who perhaps doesn’t know who they are.

It’s almost impossible for most of us to not show preferential-treatment to certain people. But at least if we can avoid grossly exaggerating those differences it’s start.

Some people suspect to your dishonest while other people think you’re too honest. What is a man to do in modern day America.

I suspect certain people in my area either feel less than me or think I’m better than they are. 2 things Jesus pointed out man always has an issue with with his fellow man: What they have and; who they are. Whether or not they own more than they do and whether or not to carry themselves better than they do.

I suspect that a lot of men who hit women were hit as children by women. It’s pay back. Or it’s feeling empowered after feeling helpless. Even a counselor of the other day was telling me that it’s humiliating when a full grown man gets hit by a woman. Perhaps the most under reported crime in America next to molestation. A woman raping a man as well. Do you think it’s less humiliating for a male child to be overpowered by a woman? Well if the man grows up to be an abuser of women then chances are it was very humiliating for him as a child. And as far as man abusing women. I’ve heard even women say that emotional wounds can be more painful than physical ones. I’ve known a lot of women who have inflicted severe emotional wounds on me with their mouths. Do you think it’s so unreasonable that a person would retaliate physically. Bigger men retaliate against smaller men who wound emotionally with their mouths all the time. Is it right of course not. But is it so far fetched that a bigger man will retaliate physically against a woman who has wounded him emotionally with her mouth? Not in that context. Not from that perspective.

I never got high sitting on the couch thinking about it! 🤔

99% of folks in PRISON will tell you yhey’re pretty good people!

It’s amazing how many women think their shit don’t stink who look like…

It took a long time for some of us to get sick in our addiction and it can take a long time for some of us to get better than our recovery. Personally, I’ve been 5 cents of hours.

I’ve been dealing with life and people with my brain for a very long time. Maybe that’s why it allows me to do this writing so well?

You can always tell how the men in a particular community treat their women by the way the women in that community treatment in general.

They see you’ll become a master after 10000 hours of practice. That’s 8 hours a day for 4 years. Just imagine drinking alcoholically for 10000 hours. 8 hours a day for 40 years = 100,000 hours

“THE WRITINGS ARE NOT FOR ME”. “THE SPRING IS NOT FOR ME”.

“I aint looking to give no trouble looking for a relationship -but I aint looking to git none neither”.

Part of the reason I don’t dress fancies because there’s no place here to dress. The other reason is you don’t want people with low self esteem to feel worse than they already do.

Is this, is all this Christmas cheer about selling or about JESUS CHRIST our Lord and Savior? Thank you GOD for reminding me well how was at Walmart about 12 hours ago this thought came to my mind.

As if relationships/dating were not hard enough -I believe that people in this country have made it even more difficult! MORE INACCESSIBLE [for some]. Any changes you make will likely benefit some and not others. Any changes you make will likely give an advantage to some and be a disadvantage to others. Because, when man is not thinking about such things at all; 🤔 he is busy thinking of these things in great detail!

Can we create something that will at least prevent us from being contagious for several hours?
