Well, I have thought about writing recently... several quality articles in mind BUT -
My imgur image cache account was sabotaged. Yes I was warned. It was the best I could do at the time and I felt pretty damn lucky to be able to use it, or anything at all at the time. Having suffered a very serious mental breakdown connected to the healing movement of an early childhood brain injury five years ago and a very high level of personal stress, troubleshooting this kind of stuff is just not my thing these days.
Healing, real healing, can be very messy. But the body needs it all to be real somehow (why real healing is messy - we judge our human experiences too negatively) ... maybe this is the problem with our current system and why everybody is so sick. We can't truly heal by just taking a magic pill, and doing what your doctor (somebody else) tells you is true, or possible, or not possible. And not doing real life. Or acting out a real life according to the status quo prescription of what constitutes a valid life. Mostly based on the validation of money or income.
(Interesting that the Sun and very big planet SATURN just found themselves in the sign of Capricorn and I am talking about this. Terminal illness and cancer are ruled by this planet AND sign. Not to mention what is going on with Pluto!) I think that we are (or have been all along) facing a cancer epidemic on this planet or maybe just in this country.
I struggle with technology. To be honest I hate it sometimes. How it seems that since I was a young adult, technology has been introduced and revised and shoved down everyone's throat each time, and you've barely mastered the previous THING before you can even think of the new one. And then there's another revision. (Er, for some of us dinosaurs. If you were a dinosaur, what species would you be?) I mean, it assumes some fundamental misjudgment that this is all we have time for. As if I haven't had a valid life while the rug kept getting pulled out from under us as we were learning to fly it, and then being gifted with new rugs all for the sake of profits. OR something. Hell. I gave up at trying to and never really ever mastering the art of programming a VCR back in the 1980's. How many versions of internet operating systems (Windows) have there been now?
So I have no way at present to post photos or images along with my articles and that ruins some possibilities, especially if you do things like ... ASTROLOGY... and you need a way to post an image so people know what the freak you are talking about. My technical support borders way too often on being a total jerk and I just get tired of trying to get what I need here - the abuse and humiliation I have to routinely put myself through. While floundering around in my own attempts at recovery from a very severe mental break that includes measurable handicap at least, in the eyes of some people. It has made me stronger, but in the eyes of the world, I am still quite handicapped in many ways being able to function in some NORMAL sense since five years ago. Yes I am grateful BUT. I simply do not understand the mentality of those who would put another human being down and fight so hard to keep them there.
So I've looked longingly at my post screen recently and well. Let it go.
Why am I here again today then?
I guess I wanted to report that, about my Imgur. People DO this stupid shit. To me and other people like me, for some reason. There are quite a few videos out there showing some phenomena called "Targeted People" ... there are hundreds of thousands of people coming forward about this. On a grand scale, conspiracy theories aside. People who have been targetted by some organized aspect of society and have the normal ins ans outs of their lives mysteriously and maliciously sabotaged. My guess is, its the square pegs of society that don't fit into the round holes that are the targets.
On the other hand, maybe it has been good for me to give up on the idea of writing in this format. I am (or was) interested in supporting Bitcoin but I seriously think there are conflicts of interest, or something going on, where certain people are controlling the situation for their own benefit and even the detriment to others. But I used to write just for the sake of it - I didn't actually come here looking to make money. I came here because I needed another place to write when my old forum was put into read only mode and I still had people I needed to connect with, or ideas that needed expressing. But it really sucks too. Because its back to the same paradigm I am talking about in terms of personal validation via some form of MONEY.
But it seemed like I had another reason to post... something I wanted to say.
Dang, I hate when that happens.
Thinking...
- Maybe I am being challenged to start posting using my words to invoke visual information without any images? Do you ever think that the entertainment media was so much better BEFORE we had CGI that creates such wonderful illusions? I mean, where we had the luxury of being able to actually TELL the difference between what was real and what isn't? Maybe there was reassurance to be found in its flaws and imperfections. Why were we all so... pushy, expecting the film industry to come up with deception and illusion that was finally, good enough to fool us? Did we make a mistake, not leaving anything for our imaginations to create for themselves? I'm thinking of the rest of the visual industry, ie NEWS and valid journalism. Or was that part of the plan. At least when the technology wasn't good enough to trick us we were less likely to be fooled by fake media.
I don't think that was it...
I was looking at today's astrological chart, thinking ONCE AGAIN, I could post that. With a reading.
OR NOT.
Oh yeah. Now I remember.
I wanted to protest. Have you ever noticed how on Google, the access point for Steemit with sample articles... the only articles you ever see, are the ones on BITCOIN? I was thinking the other day I wanted to do a short post on this. Something I could just say without any images. Like a short editorial or something. Because I still come here regularly to READ, if not post.
So here it is. I think the creators of the Blockchain idea had something more 'humanly' meaningful in mind here. Like a lasting contribution in cyberspace to the writing arts and arts in general ... many people here post original artwork and music. Something of real VALUE. That the whole Bitcoin payment idea was going to validate. Not the latest Dow Jones replacement (and these articles being the ones that get very high payment in relation to all the others, as if the others are not valuable). Its really getting to be a big turnoff for me, and I bet other nice people who would make worthy contributors for the good stuff not to mention the audience in general.
I said it recently. One of the series of books I have read and worked through on healing. God says that the world is run by DENIAL of creativity, not as it should be - by/through creativity itself. Something we need to change. This is the time for it.
That's my friday rant and I'm sticking to it.
Wish I could add a photograph or two.
P.S. I'm thinking for me it would be Stegosaurus.
