Whats wrong with being single, alone? Friend Counts, Social Media, Mental health

  This post isn't about a rule per se but really about the reality of our existence and the honest truth of what "Friends" and number of friends, aka "Friend Counts" really should mean.  Whether you have 2 friends in your life or you have 1000 isn't the point nor should it be unless you are trying to validate something about yourself that is missing or you are trying to monetize or weaponize a group.  From a mathematical and facts model, there are currently around 8.6 Billion people on the earth, your friend count whether its 6 or 6000 is insignificant and ultimately meaningless. Even 100,000 friends is 0.001% of humanity. The math doesn't scale in a way that gives the number any cosmic weight. Whether you have 6 or 6,000 connections, you're a rounding error against 8.6 billion.  Additionally unless you are going to contribute something timeless (a Newton, or an Einstein or a Bach, or a Davinci, you'll be forgotten days, months, maybe a few decad...

Rule 2 - In a freedom loving country you should never be miss treated because of who you are or who you love!

  Ok next Rule or maybe Truth? In a freedom loving country you should never be miss treated because of who you are or who you love.  It shouldn't be that way and it doesn't have to be that way. Currently we in the United States have a rot happening. sort of like pre WW2 Nazi Germany. Men being hyper-radicalized with paramilitary gear being the fashion. Women being Cowed and rights removed. And all of this being pushed by organizations whose real purpose is to create a hierarchy of control. Religious Control.  In a freedom loving country you should never be miss treated because of who you are or who you love.  There are those that would miss treat you, take your identity, your rights, your liberty away. It is happening now. Kansas has revoked citizens driver licenses because of being transgender. The Military is forcing transgender soldiers (enlisted and officers) to resign because of who they are. Not because of job performance but who they are. Citizens harassed and...

Attrition And Being Transgender - The Survival and Thrive Rules

 I am living my life fully as my real identity. This conflict is resolving and I am choosing to be the hero of my story.  With Name Changes, Legal Changes, work changes, all of it.   In this time I have learned a few things. Which I will call survival and thrive rules. These rules are for transgender people specifically, but maybe they also apply to everyone? You be the judge, there is something for everyone here.  Rule #1: Life doesn't give a F... What this means is the universe has been here for billions of years. Asteroids have hit the planet multiple times leading to cataclysmic extinction events (All life DEAD!).  We have had Wars where NAZI FASCIST FUCXX decided they were better than everyone else, killing millions, 30-50 million people is a rough estimate.   Today....day to day we go about our lives, we live maybe 80 years (thats 80 times around the sun), and if we are luckly maybe 20 more. Still nothing in the scheme of things. The Sun ris...

It is not upon you alone the dark patches fall

  I read a poem once. Struggling with loss, is like sand slipping through fingers.  I would do anything to save what I had lost (or get it back)  even at the expense of loosing myself more. And...Sand and Quicksand is like that. the more you try to keep it in your hands or climb out of it the more you make it worse. But I'm not gonna talk about that, well maybe indirectly.  And....today I'm not going to rage today about war, or thugs in masks, or the fascist rise in our government or all the stupid of the world or how social media has ruined us, or how dating apps isolate us even more and make us less free to find love. less happy. Rather I'm going to share how I'm doing in hopes maybe someone struggling might realize they too are not alone dealing with the anxiety of the world, their past, their mistakes, their triumphs and failures. And the realities I see in everything. Some practical shares.  The last year I followed the 'Transition' playbook. The one that y...

The Fascist Problem In The United States And Our Freedom(s) Of Identity

 I listen and highly agree with a youtuber. Paul Lance.  In one video he says Says " Were the greatest country in the world.. and we are not "  I grew up thinking we were too.  Greatest country in the world.  Red White and Blue.  Singing "Land of the Free" at baseball games.  Fireworks...  Its all dead to me now....... I don't even celebrate the 4th. I will say this. I spent time in Costa Rica.. and my eyes were opened. US is amazing and prosperous in so many ways. so there is that. But we are rotten, in  Costa Rica every single person I met was kind to me.  In the US...our Ethical, our "Be Kind", our "love and help each other" is broken. We are a country of Money, greed and "I got mine..F U."  The National Prayer Breakfast called Trump 'The GOAT' WTF!!!!!! Right then and there I knew every single person at that breakfast was about one god. Money. So.... the only way we fix this is if THE PEOPLE decide wait a minute,...

The Problem with the Superbowl....

Image
    The Winter olympics are happening and VD Vance and his wife are getting BOOOO'd by the world. Thats a good thing. Whats funny is I don't think JD understands that they are on the wrong side of history or that their LACK of actions (Cowing and no backbone) and gaslighing (ICE did nothing wrong) actions are visible to everyone.   But thats not what this blog is about. Lets talk United States Football and why it is Toxic and why the Superbowl is toxic.  IMO one of the biggest problems we face as a country is that politics are now being treated by the base support groups as a Red team Vs Blue Team mentality and "our team" MUST WIN AT ALL COSTS....  Think about that. We have lost our way. Its like the parent at the softball game screaming at their kid or at the volunteer umpire. disgusting...  The Current Administration, and its core staff.. knows this. and they Are using the ideal the idea of MAGA... Make America Great Again... as a political platform....
