Hello once again, this is the Quiet Mouse.
I want to say briefly today that I was just on the way home from my last finals test at college when I heard on the radio a snippet about Obama wanting to pass even stricter gun control legislation.
I say this about gun control...
The Constitution gives American citizens the right to bear arms. Period. Any change to that will ONLY lead to the assistance of a government takeover of the people: MARTIAL LAW!!
I do not have blinders on and I DO see the destruction that firearms have had on human society. Many people are murdered every year by guns, but MOST of these deaths are NOT on the streets of this nation, but in the homes and lands of foreigners. You MUST remember that the U.S. invaded both Iraq and Afghanistan and soldiers continue to this day to kill people of THEIR nation under this guise of "terrorism" prevention.
If you take the guns out of the hands of the citizens, then the ONLY people having guns will be the military. What on Earth is to stop them from marching troops into your home city if we have no means to protect ourselves?
Think about this if you will... the founding fathers of this nation WANTED us to question the government. They WANTED people to participate. It is our civic duty to vote and participate in all facets of this process. The problem however is that not enough people have participated or do participate in the system, thus THEY, the people funded by the corporate elite, have taken control to monopolize the authority and power of this land. The founding fathers wanted us to have private citizen militias in order to protect the people from a government that has gotten FAT and GREEDY from its own power.
I realize that there is only ONE purpose for a gun and that is to kill. I myself am a passive man and do not wish to see any of my fellow brothers and sisters of the world harmed. It brings me great pain to look on the television and see what men are capable of doing to one another; much of the time this murdering is done in the name of God, Allah, Yahweh, etc. Even though this may indeed be the case, outlawing the public from having guns is NOT the answer. Like it or not as we may, without guns, there is NOTHING to prevent them from the hostile takeover that the mega-rich autocracy have planned for us.
Again, I do not condone violence. I do NOT think that is the answer to the worlds problems: evil only begets more evil, an eye for an eye if you will. When does it ever stop? People have been fighting the SAME wars over in the Middle East based on the eye for an eye philosophy for thousands of years, since Biblical times... Where has it gotten them?
My point, however, is that ever since Cain and Abel, men have been killing one another for various reasons. Some kill over greed, anger, hatred, lust, envy... the reason really doesn't matter because NO murder is justified. The government can "justify" a WAR in their own right because they have imminent domain to kill and take what they want, be it oil or other natural resources. A lot of people don't realize that with the continued increase in gun control laws, other forms of murder have been on the increase, in this case, it is mainly stabbings that have nearly doubled in the last several years. My point is that people are going to kill each other. Without guns to shoot with, they will ONLY resolve to find another means to get the job done. Humans are resourceful, if nothing else. We are constantly finding new ways to murder one another. THAT IS THE TRUTH!!
I am gonna end with this one fact. I don't have a gun right now, but there has been a time in my life where I have owned a weapon. Some strung out junkie that I thought was a friend was holding some of my friends hostage in MY living room holding MY gun at them a number of years ago, and I haven't owned a gun since. The situation ended with this junkie running into MY bathroom, jumping in the tub only for the gun to jam as he pulled the trigger in his mouth. After dragging this dude out into my front yard and beating the shit out of him in front of my neighbors, I got rid of the guns and tried to get the anger and hatred out of my mind.
I will NEVER own a gun again out of the sake of just having one, OR for the sake of being a gangster like I thought I was at that time in my life. WHEN I own a gun again, it will be for the SOLE PURPOSE of protecting my family from the violent idiots who would seek to destroy the lives of me, my children, their mother, and the life of my newest love Tamara. I may be passive, but if angered or threatened about my loved ones, DO NOT FUCK WITH ME!! I have the Constitutional right to bear arms. I chose to exercise my rights... NOT to harm others, but to protect those I love from those who wish to harm or take away my liberties.
This has been the Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Freedom!

Potheads are GOOD for the Economy!! Give PEACE a chance!!
Aloha and welcome back to another episode of the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back!! I am your host the one and only Quiet Mouse. Are you ready to laugh and open your mind? Come take a short trip with me as I discourse upon the title of this blog.
Potheads are GOOD for the economy!
First I want to state that one of the most fundamental differences between the HAVES and the HAVE-NOTS is that the people who have money and power generally ONLY know how to make money from war and violence, division and conquering. The corporate interests that are pulling the strings in Washington D.C. have failed to understand that it is the PEOPLE that make this nation what it is... NOT their plethora of worthless crap like Nike shoes that are made in sweatshops overseas. No, no, no, silly rich people.
Those of us who do NOT have a silver spoon in our mouth are generally accepting of what is going on in the world and most of us are still willing to KEEP BUYING your shit... WHY you may ask?
Well... considering that the United States has very little actual manufacturing of its own now. We depend heavily on foreign interests to stock the stores of Wal-Mart with cheaply made junk that is INTENTIONALLY made to fall apart after a short period of time. Our nation is locked into a perpetual cycle of having to keep re-buying all this crap that keeps breaking. Rather than STOP buying or at least RECYCLE the things we waste (AS WE SHOULD BE DOING!!), we just throw it all in the trash and pollute Mother Nature... hmm....
For the sake of this blog, I will try to stay on topic. The reason I brought up the above paragraph is to illustrate that Cannabis smokers are keeping the economy in this nation alive. It is the smokers who go out late at night and buy Taco Bell and other fast food. Potheads buy video games, dvd and blu-ray videos, books, food and many other consumables. It is potheads that go to work at shitty jobs waiting tables, mowing lawns and other yard work, working at these fast food jobs, service industry workers that are the lifeblood of this country. The "WAR ON DRUGS" is a war against the very citizens of this nation that fight every day to keep this "American dream" alive. I for one would like to see the people of this nation truly liberated from the hateful and anti-American laws that are being passed by the corporate lapdogs in congress, the Senate, and the White House.
I truly believe it is possible for EVERYONE in this nation to live together in a positive manner. I know it is difficult if not impossible to make all citizens happy at any one given time, but could we at least try. I mean even in this FAKE democracy that we live in, it would be NICE to at least give the people some sense of power and give US what we want ONCE IN A WHILE. I do NOT want them to make cocaine, heroin, or meth legal because those drugs really FUCK WITH your life and those around you. Cannabis smokers in general, do NOT commit violent crimes. They are NOT out killing one another for the next hit from the bowl. MOST potheads are MORE THAN WILLING to wait for a Friday night with buddies to smoke the sticky green herb. As I stated in my morality police blogs, who are we as individuals to say what should happen behind the closed doors of someones home when they are not committing crimes against other humans, especially children. Marijuana is an adult choice just like tobacco and alcohol are. Rather than treat users like criminals, if it is that big of a deal, why don't they open up MORE intervention steps to rehabilitate and help people get off of drugs? I personally can see a far greater danger posed by the continued legalization of alcohol and tobacco than there EVER has or will be from Cannabis.
Here's the thing for those in POWER that they need to understand:
I can say pretty positively that Americans would love to have a wider variety of products, including Cannabis, grown and made locally HERE in the United States. This is a two sided coin, so listen up people. On one side we have the production and manufacturing of this product, Cannabis, that is in such HIGH demand. Wouldn't the millions of smokers in America feel better if we were getting the plant grown locally and NOT have to pay super-inflated prices to absorb the costs of using petroleum to ship the commodity from another country? The price goes up even further when you think about the inflation caused by our criminal justice system as judges and lawmakers have been BRIBED into passing legislation against a plant that grows NATURALLY from the ground... ALL under the pretense of FALSE information.
Now on the other side of that coin, I am highly confident that Americans would take the Pepsi challenge and buy local, organic cannabis, if regulated properly by the Feds, and would be willing to pay taxes on said commodity, just like they would for any other consumable. I believe that people WOULD indeed feel safer about this product if one could go down and buy a pack of "marijuana cigarettes" at Walgreens rather than from some skanky drug dealer named Jose, who is trying to sell you cocaine and heroine also. Not only that, but the HEMP industry alone would thrive greatly in this nation once again if allowed to flourish as it had been back since the dawn of time before the petrochemical revolution that has destroyed the planet and our very essence of humanity.
policement of this commodity, the brownouts caused by power grid draining and failures...It is NOT just California either! Many other states in this Union are going bankrupt trying to enforce and incarcerate the very citizens that are KEEPING their economies afloat. Cannabis dealers and users are re-investing the money back into their product, but also investing money back into their economies as well. Look at the Emerald Triangle up in Cali if you need proof. Many cannabis smokers who DO own homes are turning their homes into cash cows of profit and feel FORCED into a life of a "criminal" like the t.v. show "WEEDS". It is tragic that when people are forced out of jobs due to the greed of the elite, that when they chose to be NATURAL and do organic gardening or hydroponic growing, this lifestyle is considered... ALTERNATIVE??
WHY is living off of the Earth and actually wanting a sustainable lifestyle an alternative?? An Alternative to WHAT??
I personally do NOT want to live in a giant LANDFILL of trash, waste, and garbage that this planet is so rapidly becoming. It is shameful and sinful how we treat this land, but what do we do about it? The government locks people away in FOR-PROFIT prisons. There are MORE prisoners in this nation than there are actual FARMERS that are tasked with feeding the hungry masses. THIS is a shameful statistic and the people up in Washington need to pull their heads out of their collective ASSES! There will be NO country left for you and I to fight for, to live for, to die for IF they keep going at their current rate of business as usual. ANYTIME there is a FOR-PROFIT system such as this one we live in now, there will ALWAYS be those who must be the SCAPEGOAT to THEIR crimes against HUMANITY.
Potheads are WILLING to keep this economy afloat. THEY are WILLING to buy the crappy manufactured bullshit... ALL they ask in return is for the chance to have some REAL CHANGE. We are TIRED of the LIES, the CORRUPTION, the BRIBERY, the TWO-FACED POLITICIANS that are serving their slave masters: the CORPORATE ELITE and NOT serving us, the people. The constitution of the United States says "For the people, by the people..."
WE WANT OUR RIGHTS! Free speech! Freedom to peacefully assemble! Right to bear arms! Right to trial by jury of peers! very importantly is the 4th amendment:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Potheads are NOT criminals in general. I will admit that there are some people who "happen to smoke pot" that are flat out bad people, but the MAJORITY of Cannabis smokers are peaceful, GOOD people that just want to be LEFT ALONE rather than constantly being persecuted, especially by the many alcoholics and tobacco smokers. Once AGAIN, Cannabis is NOT the gateway drug as it has been wrongfully labeled as. The REAL gateway drugs for youth are CAFFEINE, ALCOHOL, and TOBACCO!!
In recapping the ideas from this blog, I want to emphasize the importance of ALL, potheads or not, to LEARN your Constitutional rights, less they keep being taken away from you. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest of our founding fathers supported the use of Hemp and Cannabis as part of the American culture. They also wanted for the citizens to QUESTION the government and the establishment. They did NOT want corporations and BANKS to control this nation, but the PEOPLE to police themselves and regulate their own business. That is why they wanted to have the STATES control the issues, so as the central U.S. government not growing too fat and greedy on its own power. How far we have fallen since the times of our founding fathers. And what have we gained from this loss of rights? A policed state of constant surveillance that doesn't actually stop crime, but it rather encourages people to act like "criminals" as daily human behaviors are criminalized.
This has been the Quiet Mouse once again. Peace be with you my friends and loved ones. Keep LOVE alive in your hearts. Love is a much more powerful emotion than the FEAR and HATRED that THEY want us to live in. As I have stated before, I AM a patriot to this nation. I do NOT condone violence, but DO encourage peaceful assembly, awareness, and the natural way of farming, sustainability, and organic pesticide free living.
Peace. Love. Sustainability. Organic gardening. Recycling.

Why People HATE America!!
Hello once again my friends and fellow knowledge seekers. The Quiet Mouse strikes back has been a successful string of blog postings and I thank you all for your continued support.
Today I want to talk about the ethnocentrism of Americans and discuss some of the reasons that other countries dislike us (not as individuals, but our way of life).
First and foremost I am going to list for you all the TOP 5 reasons Americans are disliked by other parts of the world... and NO, these dislikes are NOT limited to Muslims or any other faith, these are WORLDWIDE views of this country we call home. I will go into further discussion of these individually in a moment.
1) Our democracy and freedoms (26%)
2) Our support of the nation of Israel
3) Our values and way of life
4) Our influence on the economy and lives of Middle Eastern countries
5) Our economic and military power
Okay, so number 1, our freedoms and democracy. I don't believe it as much of a hatred or dislike of the the ACTUAL freedoms we have, I think the resentment is Americans feeling of ENTITLEMENT for these things. Also, many other nations do NOT have the right to vote or be part of the democratic process that WE take so much for granted. Many many Americans do NOT participate in the election process all the way from the President down to congressmen and senators, even further down to state and local officials, and yet WE want to complain about how things have come about. Very sad.
Number 2. I don't know how many of you know, but the "holy lands" have been promised again and again to various Middle Eastern tribes. Israel is a "Westernized" state. Other countries and peoples like the Iranians and Palestinians, Syrians, etc. ALL feel that they have a right to this land. EVERYONE should have a right to this land if it is indeed a holy land. God did NOT say that it was okay to kill in HIS name, NOR wage countless wars over a piece of land.
Number 3. Our values and way of life are NOT in accordance with God or Mother Nature. Other countries HATE the way we are wasteful in EVERYTHING we do. We WASTE food, WE pollute, strip mine, deforest, murder, etc. all in the name of PROGRESS and EXPANSION of the American way of life. We are KILLING this PLANET to where in a generation or two, it will be completely un-inhabitable any longer. Globally speaking, WE are the new kids on the block being around only about 250 years. Compared to China or some middle eastern nations, we are but babies and yet WE are busy trying to FORCEFULLY instill capitalism and trade and a New World Order against sovereign nations that we have NO business doing. Period.
This ties directly into number 4 with our continued attacks on THEIR way of life that they have been living for thousands of years compared to our 250... the ONLY reasons we are over there right now is because of a) the oil, which we NEED to keep consuming and b) the set-up of military bases so the global elite can turn us all into slaves.
Number 5, last but not least. We are routinely HATED by other nations because of our continued presence where we DON'T BELONG. NO ONE is paying US to come and police their nation-states. WE are going further and further into MASSIVE financial and MORAL DEBT waging wars with any brown people that get in OUR way of WORLD DOMINATION. Other countries don't really like that. I read recently a quote from Ron Paul. Paraphrasing his message, it basically asked how Americans would feel if China came over here to OUR country and started policing our streets without OUR permission. If they attacked and killed OUR citizens WE would be outraged and WE would continually fight back against the OPPRESSORS.
The analogy that Ron Paul stated is NOT inaccurate as to how the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan see our presence there. THEY are fighting back because that is THEIR HOME. They are fighting to remain their OWN nation, rather than part of a territory owned and policed by the global elite. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY WANT TO BE SLAVES TO THE WHITE MAN??? The global elite ISN'T a group of black dudes or Middle Easterners after all.
I want to go back and digress a little and talk about bio-fuel such as bio-diesel. As much as 1/3 of the population on the ENTIRE planet right NOW as I type this blog posting is STARVING, quite literally. WE as Americans consume over 25% of the world's energy even though we only have about 4% of the global population. THESE numbers are WAYYYYY out of balance. But to the point, nearly HALF of the corn we produce in this nation every year is INEDIBLE, not fit for human consumption. The government has subsidized this product to create a surplus that is used to feed animals (besides humans) and we actually have the nerve to BURN up our food to make Ethanol (corn fuel), which by the way is NEGATIVE energy meaning it takes more petroleum fuel energy to create one gallon of Ethanol than the amount of energy is produced by that same gallon of Ethanol. So the corn crop is basically WORTHLESS... OR we take this inedible corn and add sulfuric acid and make High Fructose Corn syrup that increases the risks of heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, premature death, etc... only about 14% of the corn is used for Ethanol production, so that means about 36% of the inedible corn is used to feed cows and chickens that are fattened up for slaughter to the point of inhumanity and torture to these poor creatures, ONLY to feed the mouths of the millions of EATERS and CONSUMERS, people that do NOTHING to support the agriculture and betterment of society. ALL they do is EAT and CONSUME, day after day after day... WHILE people in Asia and Africa are STARVING. IT is MADDENING and SICKENING how we can as Americans, just turn a blind eye to the realities of the world WE helped to create.
What is worse is that MOST of our national debt is based on OTHER countries like CHINA lending OUR money back to us so we can CONTINUE TO BUY THEIR CHEAP SHIT!!! Wal-Mart IS the distribution ARM of the People's Republic of CHINA!!
WE are driving a slave wage and a slave workforce of illegal immigrants in THIS country. It is NO different how we are treating the Hispanic population than we treated the slaves from Africa. NO DIFFERENT.
Americans seem to have an unjustified "faith" in the government that "SOMEBODY" is looking out for THEIR best interests. AGAIN, because I have stated this over and over again, WE cannot allow someone else to do OUR THINKING FOR US!! THEY, being the corporate driven politicians, will only continue to serve THEIR MASTERS: the corporations. WHO do YOU think pays for THEIR campaign contributions? I will tell you. It is the pharmaceutical companies, the oil industry, the war industry, the banking clans, and other large corporate entities who have NO interest in change... not as long as they can live like KINGS and ARISTOCRACY at the SLAVE expense of the masses.
This illusion that EVERYONE in the world loves America is FALSE. There is a rising resentment to the way that this nation sub-standardly treats foreigners. ANYONE that is still in love with this country and is not from here has only been blinded by the illusions of this land brought on by the Corporate-owned media. We are NOT all going to be millionaires or billionaires, NOR should we all be. There IS a class system in this nation that cannot be breached by the masses. THEY will NOT allow it. Some people have managed to wake up from this Matrix of illusion and lies. The TRUTH is that if Americans do NOT continue to keep buying and consuming, then the DEPENDENT world economy will collapse. WHEN the petrochemical-industrial-technological revolution is gone the way of the dinosaur (which it will happen), the world based on consumerism and greed will die along with it. ANY culture that has been based on this system of elaborate lies and deceptions WILL FAIL and CRUMBLE without mercy.
It is time for us to RETURN to the soil and RENEW our faith in the planet and system that the CREATOR set up for us. Nature's way IS the WAY of humans. WE have gotten so far away from the path that was MEANT for us to be on.
This has been the Quiet Mouse. If we want change, we have to change OURSELVES first. If we want the world to be a better place, then WE must look at the man or woman in the mirror and take a good hard look. It is NOT okay to continue on this ethnocentric decline fueled by our own blindness and materialistic greed.
Peace. Love. Truth. Compassion. Dignity. Equality. EARTH.

Lack of Productivity
Hello once again my friends and fellow knowledge seekers, it is I, the Quiet Mouse.
I am posting here once again to talk about some stuff that you may or may not have thought of. Sometimes, you might just not think of these things until someone says it and then you're like "oh yeah, huh?"... or something like that.
I generally think about things for long periods of time since I actually WANT to learn and WANT to make myself a better person. It came to my attention the other day after writing the last blog asking if there are any good people left, what the actual dilemma is with human beings these days.
WE DON'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING...
Sitting in a cubicle ALL day does NOT count as being productive. It is meaningless!!!
Please don't misunderstand, I AM aware that humans are NOW working longer hours than EVER before. We are paying higher taxes than EVER before. This would all be well and good if there were some sort of benefit being gained, but benefits are DOWN across the board from lack of funds. War tends to do that, but then again so do all the illegal immigrants that are getting paid under the table since they are NOT paying American taxes that could pay for the county hospitals that THEY use so freely at OUR expense.... but that is NOT what this blog is about, so back to task.
The REAL problem as I see it is that the average person in this country doesn't really do much at all. In the olden days, people had to make their own clothes, butcher their own meat, plant their own crops, READ books instead of looking it up the brainless way on Google. Communities USED to be self-sustaining is my point. WE as modern Americans don't do SHIT for ourselves. We (including our ancestry) have elected the way of the coward to "allow" corporations to do EVERYTHING for us as humans. THEY are only interested in PROFITS, NOT our health and well-being. What ever happened to "Victory Gardens"? Why can't we, or don't we take care of ourselves and STOP depending on Uncle Sam Inc. for assistance when WE are fully capable of doing things WITHOUT federal aid?
When did people stop caring about their own well being? Is it because we are all so materialistically driven? We always have to keep up with the Jones's? People have basements and attics full of JUNK that they do not need and most likely will NEVER use... so what is the point of it all in this society? I think that many of us have to PRETEND to be like the elite. Perhaps imitation IS the most sincere form of flattery, but NOT when it comes at so HIGH a cost. YOU and I will NEVER be like them, as hard as we may pretend or try. YOU and I have a soul and intrinsic value as a human. THEY worship money, control, and power, NOTHING else!
It is idiotic in this age of science and technology that people can learn at the click of the button, yet literacy is as LOW as it has EVER been in this nation. With this technology we have "social networking" and yet the strains of interpersonal communication have NEVER been worse than now. How does this happen? It was brought to my attention in my college English 101 class about people actually DYING at the computer console or in front of the television because they did not get up to eat or drink anything while playing online gaming. Again... how does this happen?
I constantly hear friends and loved ones complaining about how there is not enough time for things like exercise or healthy eating... I KNOW because I HAVE made all the excuses too. NO MORE!! Countless hours are wasted in front of the idiot box as the human population becomes ZOMBIES, brainwashed by the propaganda of the mainstream media. Countless hours of productivity are WASTED on idiotic bullshit like FARMVILLE. How about while you are at work, WORK!!! You are NOT getting paid to sit on your ass and play games. Why do you think that all of our jobs are going overseas? THEY have work ethic (well, and they will work for pennies on the dollar)!! Americans NEED to get over this sense of entitlement CRAP. PERIOD!! Just because you were born here doesn't mean diddly-shit now. If you WANT a job, then damn it, YOU need to stop being lazy and start being PRODUCTIVE!! Do NOT wait for someone else to make all your decisions for you! Do NOT wait for the corporations to take care of you! Do NOT wait to start making something productive of your life!
The LEAST a person SHOULD be doing is gardening. The corporations don't give a shit if you get sick from their Genetically Modified GM foods. Monsanto owns their own pharmaceutical company now. They can poison you with the GM foods and then give you MORE poison in a pill. Brilliant, this capitalism we have now (this IS sarcasm of course)... but THIS is what happens when we ALLOW others, be it corporations or government to make OUR decisions FOR US!!
This IS a screwed up world we live in, but it is just as much OUR fault as it is THEIRS. THEY are ONLY making decisions de facto for us, because we did NOT participate in this democracy. WE bought into THEIR lies about how technology would bring an easier life to us all... but that's the thing: IT was NEVER meant to give you and I an easier life... no, no, no silly rabbit... it is for THEM to have an easier life at OUR expense. And WE have allowed them to make slaves of us as WE continue to give our rights away because of the wars that THEY create to divide and conquer us (which they have done very effectively all be-it not very efficiently).
Honestly, I don't know what else to say. I am tired and frustrated with my fellow humans. I have so much love in my heart, but my heart is broken. I am truly sad for the fate in which we ALLOW ourselves to be a part of. All we have to do for CHANGE is to THINK differently. Another problem is that Americans did NOT learn their lesson from the last time we had to deal with THEIR mess. All these bailouts and shit that caused a HUGE recession is just the TIP of the iceberg. There is over 684 TRILLION dollars worth of monopoly debt in the world right now in the form of "derivatives". If you don't know what this is, I assure you it IS worth your time to look it up.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM YOUR LIFE IN THEIR HANDS??? THEY have polluted, raped, pillaged, strip-mined, deforested, murdered YOU, I, our grand-children's children's future... ALL for the love of MONEY, CONTROL, and POWER.
Follow the money to the rich white guys... that's pretty much how it always goes down. And what do WE do?
Well, WE'VE been HELPING them attain their goals. The more warring and fighting we do amongst one another, the closer and closer THEY get to TOTAL control.
Make something. Grow something. Create SOMETHING!! But for God's sakes... STOP DESTROYING EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been the Quiet Mouse.
You reap what you sow. Recycle. Re-use. Give back.
I am posting here once again to talk about some stuff that you may or may not have thought of. Sometimes, you might just not think of these things until someone says it and then you're like "oh yeah, huh?"... or something like that.
I generally think about things for long periods of time since I actually WANT to learn and WANT to make myself a better person. It came to my attention the other day after writing the last blog asking if there are any good people left, what the actual dilemma is with human beings these days.
WE DON'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING...
Sitting in a cubicle ALL day does NOT count as being productive. It is meaningless!!!
Please don't misunderstand, I AM aware that humans are NOW working longer hours than EVER before. We are paying higher taxes than EVER before. This would all be well and good if there were some sort of benefit being gained, but benefits are DOWN across the board from lack of funds. War tends to do that, but then again so do all the illegal immigrants that are getting paid under the table since they are NOT paying American taxes that could pay for the county hospitals that THEY use so freely at OUR expense.... but that is NOT what this blog is about, so back to task.
The REAL problem as I see it is that the average person in this country doesn't really do much at all. In the olden days, people had to make their own clothes, butcher their own meat, plant their own crops, READ books instead of looking it up the brainless way on Google. Communities USED to be self-sustaining is my point. WE as modern Americans don't do SHIT for ourselves. We (including our ancestry) have elected the way of the coward to "allow" corporations to do EVERYTHING for us as humans. THEY are only interested in PROFITS, NOT our health and well-being. What ever happened to "Victory Gardens"? Why can't we, or don't we take care of ourselves and STOP depending on Uncle Sam Inc. for assistance when WE are fully capable of doing things WITHOUT federal aid?
When did people stop caring about their own well being? Is it because we are all so materialistically driven? We always have to keep up with the Jones's? People have basements and attics full of JUNK that they do not need and most likely will NEVER use... so what is the point of it all in this society? I think that many of us have to PRETEND to be like the elite. Perhaps imitation IS the most sincere form of flattery, but NOT when it comes at so HIGH a cost. YOU and I will NEVER be like them, as hard as we may pretend or try. YOU and I have a soul and intrinsic value as a human. THEY worship money, control, and power, NOTHING else!
It is idiotic in this age of science and technology that people can learn at the click of the button, yet literacy is as LOW as it has EVER been in this nation. With this technology we have "social networking" and yet the strains of interpersonal communication have NEVER been worse than now. How does this happen? It was brought to my attention in my college English 101 class about people actually DYING at the computer console or in front of the television because they did not get up to eat or drink anything while playing online gaming. Again... how does this happen?
I constantly hear friends and loved ones complaining about how there is not enough time for things like exercise or healthy eating... I KNOW because I HAVE made all the excuses too. NO MORE!! Countless hours are wasted in front of the idiot box as the human population becomes ZOMBIES, brainwashed by the propaganda of the mainstream media. Countless hours of productivity are WASTED on idiotic bullshit like FARMVILLE. How about while you are at work, WORK!!! You are NOT getting paid to sit on your ass and play games.

Are There ANY Good People Left In the World??
Hello friends, this is the Quiet Mouse, I just wanted to give people a small bit of hope with a short blog.
I don't think it should take anything special for people to treat one another better than we do as humans. It is sad that we degrade one another so much and what is worse is that many people are constantly putting his/her self down without any outside assistance. Christian people need to get over themselves. It is fine to have faith in God and Jesus, but I don't think THEY want you to pollute this planet.
Why is it that tolerance, honesty, and compassion are looked at as signs of weakness. Having a good character transcends ANY and ALL of our restrictive human constraints. Why can't people see that? Why are humans filled with evil, fear, and hatred? More people have been killed on this planet in the name of God than ALL natural disasters and other human intervention combined.
Why do people have to be so closed minded and linear in their thought, completely ignorant of what COULD indeed be a better, more positive, and happier way of living?
If we do NOT repent and change our wasteful and destructive ways, it WILL be the end of us all. The corporate driven elite from the Bilderberg group are perfectly happy with US killing one another. They despise us, our very existence. To them we are nothing better than sheep or cattle for them to buy, sell, and experiment on us on a global level.
I keep asking what it will take for people to wake up to the REALITY of the world we live in. The worse things get it seems like more and more people are just playing into what THEY want. Gang warfare, drug zombies (pharmaceutical, alchohol, and meth/cocaine), blatant racism, rampant prejudice, sexism, crooked politics, global pollution... When is it going to end? Do we really have to let THEM beat us down and destroy us? Do we have to HELP them with their cause?
Can't we be good honest people starting TODAY? Can't we wake up tomorrow and kiss our children and baby's mamas or baby's daddy's with LOVE in our hearts? Can't we decide with good moral judgement that we can RISE above the petty bickering and arguing over "STUFF" that is basically worthless?
I personally am seeking the path of enlightenment. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! It is one of the ONLY things that WE as humans CAN control. Ignorance is NOT bliss. Stupidity is only going to cause MORE problems. I am tired of seeing the suffering caused by my fellow humans from here in the streets of America to the jungles of the Congo in Africa, to the sweatshops of Asia, the Nike factories owned by Phil Knight. Why is it when people want to come together for the betterment of society, we call them Socialists and condemn their society? This is especially ironic considering we KEEP waging wars with other nations, are poised for yet ANOTHER conflict with Libya... ALL while we have MILLIONS of Americans homeless and out of work. We can't even take care of the people that live HERE first and foremost, but we want to attack other nations for a New World Order? Will people figure out the TRUTH when gas hits $10 a gallon? When the banks foreclose on ALL houses? When THEY instill MARTIAL LAW in the streets of this nation? When they destroy ALL unions, collective bargaining, barter?
Is there ANYONE with enough BALLS or BRAINS to stand up as a HUMAN and say enough is enough. Like the movie Network we MUST get MAD. We MUST run to the window and scream to the sky "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it!!"
I don't know what it will take to make you get mad or what it will take to get you to wake up and turn off the t.v., put down the cell phone and get out of the house. Maybe if I yell enough, SOMEONE will hear my voice??
I love this country and I love my fellow humans, despite the horrific and terrible things that we have done and are continuing to do. I seek the path of the Buddha to find a higher level of enlightenment. YOU find YOUR path as I am searching for mine. Do NOT ever become complacent because that allows THEM to win and control YOUR mind, body, and soul. THEY can only RENT your time, if you sell them your soul, you can only get it back through LOVE, PEACE, EMPATHY, and KNOWLEDGE.
This has been the Quiet Mouse. Keep the faith alive. There is STILL hope as long as the HUMAN spirit can endure. WAKE UP and LIVE, unselfishly and in HARMONY with NATURE and the UNIVERSE!!
PEACE. LOVE. TRUTH. HOPE.

America's Petrochemical DEPENDENCE
Welcome back once again my friends and loved ones!! This is the Quiet Mouse and today I want to bring up a subject that is irrefutable and undeniable: our dependence on OIL...
The other night I stayed up, yes, even though it was a school night. I stayed up and watched a documentary by Christopher Smith called "Collapse". I would recommend highly that ANYONE READING THIS BLOG should go online to Netflix or YouTube and watch this video IMMEDIATELY. I don't want to merely recycle back what was said on the video to you, but for the sake of this NEED TO KNOW info, I will do my best to go over the main points and then add my own commentary mixed in.
I am NOT an expert on global economics. I am working on my first degree right now in nursing, although I DO have some political aspirations that may or may not be looked into deeper in the future, once I finish with school. I do NOT wish to cause any kind of panic by what I am going to tell you here today. All I am asking is for you to actually USE the brain that the divine creator engineered for you.
I am going to start a little off subject with some psychology for you, so please read carefully and follow along. I AM trying to convince you of something here today and I sincerely hope that you walk away from this blog SCARRED FOR LIFE!!
In life changing situations EVERYONE goes through the 5 stages of grief as I will list for you momentarily. The reason I am going to start with this is because MANY of you who read this will think I am either crazy, lying, or just trying to scare you. This is NOT true. I ONLY desire for you to understand and ACCEPT this as being true. but first you have to get past the first stage:
1) Denial
For many people will not want to accept the truth. Many people cannot or will not wake up from the Matrix of lies and illusion.
2) Anger
Much of the world is in THIS stage right now. There is a lot of misplaced anger because people are fed up with dishonest and greedy government officials. But this is only the tip of the iceberg... it WILL get worse before it gets better.
3) Bargaining
No matter how much you want to talk your way out of this, you cannot change what is already happening and the events that surround it.
4) Depression
I personally believe that the profundity of the REAL reality once it hits and sinks in will be like a pair of concrete shoes... and it WILL hit some harder than others.
5) Acceptance
Huh? But Quiet Mouse, I thought you were gonna talk about oil?
Okay, okay... I was getting to it. Slow your roll.
Let's talk about "peak oil" for a moment. If you don't know what it is... look it up, please. I can wait...
As of approximately 2006, the world hit it's peak oil production. Like any bell curve, what goes UP, must come DOWN. WE as a world and as a nation NEED to understand that we have hit top and we are on the way back down. Global oil production is down, as admitted by the International Energy Agency, 9 to 10 percent in the last 5 years and will only continue to go down as there is a FINITE amount of resources on this planet. We will NEVER be able to have "cheap" fuel again as we have in days gone by before it hit it's peak. As it is, we are producing approximately 18 million barrels of oil a day and it is only a matter of time until it runs out.
Saudi Arabia has 25% of the worlds' total natural oil reserve and even THEY cannot stop what is happening. Hell, even Saddam Hussein KNEW that oil was going to be a big commodity. HE wanted to raise the price in Euros, NOT American dollars, which would have put US as a nation belly-up... So what did we do? We invaded so we could get a cheap source of oil to keep flowing under the guise of "terrorism" and WMD's (which were all destroyed by Bush Sr. in the first Iraqi war back in 1991). Besides, it is a moot issue anyway. There is NOT enough oil in Iraq or anywhere else to make a difference. It will NOT change ANYTHING! It is ONLY prolonging the inevitable!!
Satellite imagery has been used to find the last isolated pockets of oil left on the planet now, which are dwindling rapidly as we speak. There is NO oil reserve on the ENTIRE PLANET that THEY don't know about. The United States uses the MOST oil of any nation on the planet... what are we going to do when it runs out? Our ENTIRE nation is based on petroleum!!
Think about THIS for a moment... EVERYTHING in this society, our very way of life, the "American Dream" is all based on the idea of perpetual upward growth, which is based on UNLIMITED RESOURCES. This bill of goods that you and I have been sold on for all our lives is a LIE!! THERE IS NO INFINITE RESOURCES!! We have RAPED and PILLAGED every corner of the globe looking for oil. We are, as we speak, fighting for the GOD-DAMNED polar ice caps, hoping and praying that WHEN they melt, they might find some oil under there. It is a FOOLS ERRAND, I tell you!! THEY have KNOWN that this is happening since the 1970's. Hell, THEY didn't even think that the oil would last THIS LONG!!
THIS is the REAL reason for all the money and power grabbing, the scrapping and prancing around the world like we own the mother-fucker! We are the largest consumer, therefore, we feel the need to TAKE what we think is OURS and we call it "imminent domain". Oil is in EVERYTHING we use and consume. It is in the cars we drive. It takes 7 gallons of oil to make ONE tire for your car. 5 quarts of oil to lubricate the engine. The car doors are made from oil. The paint is made from oil. The machines that build the cars are fueled with oil. It is in pens, plastic bags... well, plastic ANYTHING. It is used to make petroleum jelly (Vaseline), cups, bowls, spoons, forks, computer parts, televisions, video games, cell phones, etc... see where I am going with this? They even use it to make medicines. Fossil fuels are used to power our cities, to run ships that bring us fresh fruits and vegetables from South America in the winter, where it is still summer there.
You MUST accept the fact that the oil is FINITE. You MUST understand that it WILL run out sooner rather than later, and you MUST accept that this IS going to happen whether you want it to or not. Denial will not help. Anger will not help. Bargaining will not help. Depression will not help. ACCEPTANCE is the only thing that will help. The world as we KNOW it WILL shut down without oil. Things don't break UP, they break DOWN!!
Here is the part that is scary and emotional... please do not be alarmed and please keep reading. Not if, but WHEN the oil runs out, which WILL be in our lifetime, civilization as we know it will come to a grinding halt. Without oil, our government WILL stop working... when that happens:
-Mail stops being delivered
-Air traffic controllers (and others) don't get paid, so they don't go to work, therefore NO planes will fly, same goes with shipping of any sort.
-Bridges and highways don't get inspected and will fall apart
-FDA inspections don't get made, food doesn't make it to the stores
-Maintenance of all sorts stop working... many of our cities like New York, Washington D.C., and New Orleans will be taken back by nature
-Law enforcement stops working... thus part of the reason they are preparing us all for MARTIAL LAW!!
It dawned on me now that THIS is what all the FEMA coffins are for. Without oil... MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL STARVE TO DEATH!! Food isn't going to be shipped and NOT ENOUGH people CAN or KNOW HOW to actually farm the land. NOR is there enough resources to continue to feed the nearly 7 billion mouths on this planet.
Don't believe me? Look at Africa and other third-world underdeveloped nations.
The people that have been autocratically ruling this planet and pulling the strings for so long KNOW that they are LOSING CONTROL. ALL of their efforts are in desperation to keep things as they are NOW, with THEM living like fat cats at OUR expense.
Further proof of what I am saying can be found at the turn of the 1900's as oil made it's start in our society. Humanity experienced a MASSIVE population boom going off the charts. We have used oil to create a standard of living that is and has NEVER been sustainable. It is axiomatic (look it up) that if you take the oil away, the population will also start to go away. There is NO rise without a FALL. You can look at ANY great civilization throughout history to see the truth in that. The same will happen to US just as it has happened to the Greeks, the Sumerians, Egyptians, Aztecs, Myans, etc...
EVERYTHING is breaking down and there is a direct correlation between the state and national debt AND the decline in ENERGY PRODUCTION worldwide. Infinite GROWTH has collided with FINITE energy and the deficit is a thus result. WE have passed "peak" EVERYTHING!! There is NO other resources to tap into! NONE!! There is NO amount of human ingenuity that can overcome what is happening. It is simple quantifiable physics at this point. As I said, the ONLY thing we can do is learn to accept it in order to move on from there... in order to LIVE through the transition phase as we move away from the industrial/technological age to the POST-industrial/technological age.
Please do NOT PANIC!! Once the antiquated government collapses, which it will, there will be a transition phase as a NEW stable civilization emerges. We must NOT prepare for "the end" because it is NOT the end, only a transition to a new age of humanity. The problem as I see it is the disconnect humans have with the planet. The ONLY way to survive in the future will be to actually FARM the land, anything less will end in disaster. Critical thinking is going to be essential for survival in the new world.
In this new world, EVERYTHING is going to HAVE to be grown locally since there will be NO Starbucks or Macy's, NO Wal-Mart or Fred Meyer. People will be forced to migrate away from large cities in order to survive. Large cities are NOT sustainable. Period!!
Survival as an INDIVIDUAL... you will FAIL. It is only as a village or tribe, loved ones taking care of one another, will we, as a species survive. We WILL face global extinction if we do not evolve and adapt. We will have to balance the horror and pain of the transitory phase with LOVE, SMILES, and PLAY. The human spirit will endure.
As the oil runs out, we WILL face human extinction on the impact level of the asteroid that hit the Earth and killed the dinosaurs. Governments are failing because they are based on archaic thoughts for OUR way of life. We MUST find a balance to the circle of life. We MUST find a way to balance OUR needs with the FINITE resources of nature and the animal kingdom. It is time for us to GROW UP! We MUST evolve or we shall perish. We MUST embrace life and STOP trying to hide from it and pretend things do not exist just because we choose not to think about them. The very ESSENCE of our humanity as "human beings" has been covered up and hidden under a bunch of BULLSHIT and LIES!! WE belong WITH nature, NOT apart from it. The LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil! and IT has the potential to drive all of humanity to the verge of extinction. There are NOT enough resources or money left for THEM to try to change the system now. THEY can ONLY prepare for the coming storm. I have spoken of this coming storm many times now in my blogs. THEY are preparing for the worst... What are you doing? If the answer is nothing or you are busy being distracted by the Matrix, or you are in denial... I feel sorry for you. I don't want you to die, but it is either evolve in thought or perish.
For those of my friends and family from Face Book, I want to say this:
Obama is NOT the cause of this problem. He is merely the figurehead who inherited this MESS! Think about America as the Titanic. Many believed that the ship was unsinkable, even after it was hit by a massive iceberg. Obama is just the captain of the ship. He is a PRISONER to his position, to the government, to politics, and to economics. We should NOT be resting the fate of this nation or the fate of the world on HIS shoulders, he is merely ONE man. THEY just made him captain so people will think it was HIS fault and will have a face to put with their ANGER as THEY too go through the stages of grief before they too can reach acceptance for what WILL happen. We are facing what potentially could be the greatest Holocaust in human history, our OWN mass SUICIDE. WE have killed ourselves and this planet for far too long. We must repent and CHANGE our antiquated thought processes NOW or there will be NO hope for the future survival of our species, homo-sapien.
All is NOT LOST. As long as their is HOPE and BELIEF that we can overcome ANY obstacle, then there IS a way out of this situation. If enough people are WILLING to change their MINDS, then the world can change around us. It will NOT be without sacrifice. You WILL have to learn to live without cell phones, television, and internet. You WILL be asked to participate in the cultivation of the land for survival.
As always, it is entirely up to YOU. I cannot make you see things the way I do. I cannot tell you when this will happen. BUT... I CAN tell you to prepare yourself. Strengthen your mind and body NOW!! THAT will be the key to your success in the new dawn of humanity in the post-petroleum, post-industrial future.
This has been the Quiet Mouse. If I have shocked or scared you... I apologize. I only seek to wake you up and show you the truth, nothing more. If this has caused you to put down the garbage and re-analyze the situation, good. If not... again, I am sorry. But if this doesn't cause you to change your OLD HABITS and reorganize your priorities, then NOTHING will... and by the time you figure it out, it may already be too late. The ONLY thing that you can do is spread love and form your tribe or village now. Learn how to grow your own food and work the land before it is too late.
Peace. Love. Acceptance. Truth. Knowledge.

They even use it to make medicines. Fossil fuels are used to power our cities, to run ships that bring us fresh fruits and vegetables from South America in the winter, where it is still summer there.
You MUST accept the fact that the oil is FINITE. You MUST understand that it WILL run out sooner rather than later, and you MUST accept that this IS going to happen whether you want it to or not. Denial will not help. Anger will not help. Bargaining will not help. Depression will not help. ACCEPTANCE is the only thing that will help. The world as we KNOW it WILL shut down without oil. Things don't break UP, they break DOWN!!
Here is the part that is scary and emotional... please do not be alarmed and please keep reading. Not if, but WHEN the oil runs out, which WILL be in our lifetime, civilization as we know it will come to a grinding halt. Without oil, our government WILL stop working... when that happens:
-Mail stops being delivered
-Air traffic controllers (and others) don't get paid, so they don't go to work, therefore NO planes will fly, same goes with shipping of any sort.
-Bridges and highways don't get inspected and will fall apart
-FDA inspections don't get made, food doesn't make it to the stores
-Maintenance of all sorts stop working... many of our cities like New York, Washington D.C., and New Orleans will be taken back by nature
-Law enforcement stops working... thus part of the reason they are preparing us all for MARTIAL LAW!!
It dawned on me now that THIS is what all the FEMA coffins are for. Without oil... MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL STARVE TO DEATH!! Food isn't going to be shipped and NOT ENOUGH people CAN or KNOW HOW to actually farm the land. NOR is there enough resources to continue to feed the nearly 7 billion mouths on this planet.
Don't believe me? Look at Africa and other third-world underdeveloped nations.
The people that have been autocratically ruling this planet and pulling the strings for so long KNOW that they are LOSING CONTROL. ALL of their efforts are in desperation to keep things as they are NOW, with THEM living like fat cats at OUR expense.
Further proof of what I am saying can be found at the turn of the 1900's as oil made it's start in our society. Humanity experienced a MASSIVE population boom going off the charts. We have used oil to create a standard of living that is and has NEVER been sustainable. It is axiomatic (look it up) that if you take the oil away, the population will also start to go away. There is NO rise without a FALL. You can look at ANY great civilization throughout history to see the truth in that. The same will happen to US just as it has happened to the Greeks, the Sumerians, Egyptians, Aztecs, Myans, etc...
EVERYTHING is breaking down and there is a direct correlation between the state and national debt AND the decline in ENERGY PRODUCTION worldwide. Infinite GROWTH has collided with FINITE energy and the deficit is a thus result. WE have passed "peak" EVERYTHING!! There is NO other resources to tap into! NONE!! There is NO amount of human ingenuity that can overcome what is happening. It is simple quantifiable physics at this point. As I said, the ONLY thing we can do is learn to accept it in order to move on from there... in order to LIVE through the transition phase as we move away from the industrial/technological age to the POST-industrial/technological age.
Please do NOT PANIC!! Once the antiquated government collapses, which it will, there will be a transition phase as a NEW stable civilization emerges. We must NOT prepare for "the end" because it is NOT the end, only a transition to a new age of humanity. The problem as I see it is the disconnect humans have with the planet. The ONLY way to survive in the future will be to actually FARM the land, anything less will end in disaster. Critical thinking is going to be essential for survival in the new world.
In this new world, EVERYTHING is going to HAVE to be grown locally since there will be NO Starbucks or Macy's, NO Wal-Mart or Fred Meyer. People will be forced to migrate away from large cities in order to survive. Large cities are NOT sustainable. Period!!
Survival as an INDIVIDUAL... you will FAIL. It is only as a village or tribe, loved ones taking care of one another, will we, as a species survive. We WILL face global extinction if we do not evolve and adapt. We will have to balance the horror and pain of the transitory phase with LOVE, SMILES, and PLAY. The human spirit will endure.
As the oil runs out, we WILL face human extinction on the impact level of the asteroid that hit the Earth and killed the dinosaurs. Governments are failing because they are based on archaic thoughts for OUR way of life. We MUST find a balance to the circle of life. We MUST find a way to balance OUR needs with the FINITE resources of nature and the animal kingdom. It is time for us to GROW UP! We MUST evolve or we shall perish. We MUST embrace life and STOP trying to hide from it and pretend things do not exist just because we choose not to think about them. The very ESSENCE of our humanity as "human beings" has been covered up and hidden under a bunch of BULLSHIT and LIES!! WE belong WITH nature, NOT apart from it. The LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil! and IT has the potential to drive all of humanity to the verge of extinction. There are NOT enough resources or money left for THEM to try to change the system now. THEY can ONLY prepare for the coming storm. I have spoken of this coming storm many times now in my blogs. THEY are preparing for the worst... What are you doing? If the answer is nothing or you are busy being distracted by the Matrix, or you are in denial... I feel sorry for you. I don't want you to die, but it is either evolve in thought or perish.
For those of my friends and family from Face Book, I want to say this:
Obama is NOT the cause of this problem. He is merely the figurehead who inherited this MESS! Think about America as the Titanic. Many believed that the ship was unsinkable, even after it was hit by a massive iceberg. Obama is just the captain of the ship. He is a PRISONER to his position, to the government, to politics, and to economics. We should NOT be resting the fate of this nation or the fate of the world on HIS shoulders, he is merely ONE man. THEY just made him captain so people will think it was HIS fault and will have a face to put with their ANGER as THEY too go through the stages of grief before they too can reach acceptance for what WILL happen. We are facing what potentially could be the greatest Holocaust in human history, our OWN mass SUICIDE. WE have killed ourselves and this planet for far too long. We must repent and CHANGE our antiquated thought processes NOW or there will be NO hope for the future survival of our species, homo-sapien.
All is NOT LOST. As long as their is HOPE and BELIEF that we can overcome ANY obstacle, then there IS a way out of this situation. If enough people are WILLING to change their MINDS, then the world can change around us. It will NOT be without sacrifice. You WILL have to learn to live without cell phones, television, and internet. You WILL be asked to participate in the cultivation of the land for survival.
As always, it is entirely up to YOU. I cannot make you see things the way I do. I cannot tell you when this will happen. BUT... I CAN tell you to prepare yourself. Strengthen your mind and body NOW!! THAT will be the key to your success in the new dawn of humanity in the post-petroleum, post-industrial future.
This has been the Quiet Mouse. If I have shocked or scared you... I apologize. I only seek to wake you up and show you the truth, nothing more. If this has caused you to put down the garbage and re-analyze the situation, good. If not... again, I am sorry. But if this doesn't cause you to change your OLD HABITS and reorganize your priorities, then NOTHING will... and by the time you figure it out, it may already be too late. The ONLY thing that you can do is spread love and form your tribe or village now. Learn how to grow your own food and work the land before it is too late.
Peace. Love. Acceptance. Truth. Knowledge.

The OSCARS 2011
I don't know about any of my readers, but I thought that the Academy Awards last night was frightfully boring. Perhaps it is just my imagination, but it seems like 2010 wasn't really that great of a year for movies. I personally thought that Inception with Leo DiCaprio was the best movie last year and so did the yahoo survey of us regular people. Let's be honest, though. The Academy who actually votes on the nominees is and has always seemed to be biased in the favor of artsy-fartsy period piece DRAMA. I think that science fiction is often overlooked, except in the cases of Avatar (for breaking all-time box office records and being a hell of a fine movie, even if the story is a little bit recycled from other sources) and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King which won best picture.
Here are a list of the MAJOR awards from last night:

I think the major highlight of the night was Melissa Leo dropping the F bomb during her speech. I enjoyed the co-hosting of James Franco and Anne Hathaway. James looked and acted like he was stoned, but I can easily forgive that, after all, it doesn't always have to be an old crooner being the host; I loved the Bob Hope segment by Billy Crystal though.
I was glad to see that Toy Story 3 won for best animated film. Again, I was disappointed that Inception only won Oscars for sound mixing and sound editing, then for visual effects and cinematography. The big winner was the King's Speech. I think Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter are all good actors in their own right, but to me the movie looks rather dull. I might check it out once it comes onto video, but it is NOT one I will be rushing out to the theater to see anytime soon. The next film I want to see in the theater I will take my children to is Rango.
In my opinion, Johnny Depp is one of the BEST actors. He is funny and easily capable of performing a wide variety of roles. Maybe next year he will win an Oscar?
This has been the Quiet Mouse. See you at the movies!!

Phone Book Uses
Hello once again my new age friends and knowledge seekers, this is the Quiet Mouse coming at you today with a short blog that I'm sure many of you will understand and share my sentiments about.
Does anyone ACTUALLY use their phone book any more? I don't...
Well, let me rephrase that. Does anyone actually use their phone book to look up phone numbers? I know that many people use their yellow pages to prop up that loose, wiggly leg on the table. Others use them as a seat booster for their toddler to be at eye level at the grown ups table... and that's OKAY!
It seems that with the digital age of technology, it is much easier to just look it up on the Internet, or on those neat little cell phone apps that pretty much do EVERYTHING except suck your dick... but I already blogged about THAT...
Do any of you actually remember how to read this obsolete text known as the yellow pages? I personally quit trying to understand it. Animals aren't under A, they are under P for pets... Cars aren't under C, they are under A for automobiles... and so on and so forth
OR... how about those of us who are so short we have to sit on a phone book to see over the steering wheel?
I blogged about THAT on my "driving for dummies" blog, I believe.
I kinda think flipping through a bunch of pages in a phone book is not only annoying, but VERY inconvenient. It appears that life has become too damn hectic to take the 5 minutes to leaf through this monstrosity. That is beyond the fact that the majority of Americans ONLY have cell phones these days, and the phone book doesn't list cell numbers. MY 2 phone books are stuffed under a dresser, since I don't have room for the cumbersome books on the floor or bookcase (I have too many books already stacked on top of one another with NO room on the shelf left over).
I think people might get more use out of those papers if they were shredded for the kitty cat litter box, or rolled up and smoked (although bible pages work better for rolling cannabis, hahaha!!)
I would love to hear from my readers about what YOU do with your phone books! Hit me up and let me know... I enjoy reading the responses that you all leave for me. And as always, I DESIRE some actual comments from my international readers as well.
Despite all the dark clouds in the world... KEEP LAUGHING AND SMILING. Unconditional LOVE will conquer all. If you want some good laughs, look up comedy by Bill Hicks... that'll get the old diaphragm moving up and down. Smiles confuse people anyway. Be a rebel and be happy! Be a rebel and READ!
This is the Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Truth. Smile.
