We are all normal and insane
I posted about this before but this is a revision.
I am neither a scientists nor a psychologist but I have always wondered about the human intellect? My thoughts are mostly about what people do in relation to what they are thinking.
Of course what we ourselves do is never crazy. What we do for ourselves is completely sane, isn't it? WELL........in my honest opinion it is completely sane for one to do what they need to do and at the same time when viewed from an other perspective it is TOTALY nuts. So the question is. How do you know who is really nuts and who is sane.
"Insane" by psychological definition is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Know any one like that? Guess we are all guilty of that at one point or another. But does that really make us insane? For me, it always comes back to the same question. I am insane to ask myself this question repeatedly?
A bird trapped in a building will continuously try to fly through a closed window until it dies trying to get out. Does that make it insane or desperate or is that the same thing? Does this mean that Desperation will make us do insane things?
What if the psychologists are the ones that are crazy, telling us what we are supposed to feel and what normal is. What really is normal? Is normal someone who is sedate and has no reaction to their surroundings or the extremist that overreacts for every little situation.
From what I can tell there is no normal. Normal is relative you who you are, what you have been through and how well you can cope with your current situations. For some that means destruction of ones self or others. For others it means complete retreat from everyday life. But again, which one is normal? My answer, we are all normal taking into consideration where and what we have been through. Unfortunately for the extremists this is not socially acceptable since they may hurt others with their version of normal.
Psychologists basically want you to conform to their version of normal but who says they are normal themselves? Is it that little piece of paper called a diploma? Who wrote that paper and are they normal too? The question never ends so I will end it here.
Thank you

Fuel Economy and your Driving!
It truly troubles me when I see a full size truck doing 150kmph(90mph). Only 2 things can come of this, one is you may have a nasty accident and the other is you will burn a LOT of fuel.
As far as fuel economy goes 4 cylinder Japanese car is usually the way to go. Don't go cheap on your 4 banger or you will regret it. The Rice burners are leaders in fuel economy and as such should be exploited.
Ask yourself if the car you are driving is what you need. Do you really need a large vehicle, could you make due with something smaller and more economic?
Here is a list of things to do in order to save fuel regardless of what you drive and in the process become a better driver.
1- Make sure you car is in order and clean. That means Air filter, fuel filter, oil changes, Tire pressure, Spark plugs and wires. There is more but these are the main ones.
2- Do not drive so fast. This means take off slower, and obey the speed limit. Most manual cars have a shift light to indicate when is the best time to shift, USE IT and keep the RPM’s as low as possible. I can easily shift below 3000 RPM and still have a decent take off speed. Remember, you’re not in a race.
3- Don't use your brakes so much. Often I notice people braking when they do not have to. Many times just letting go of the accelerator is enough, especially on the highway.
4- Coast whenever you can. If your driving and see a traffic light is red at a distance in front of you ease off the accelerator and coast to the traffic light. Often it will turn green before you get there and you won't even need to stop. This also has a bonus effect on the life of your brake pads.
5- If you can, take the back roads. I have noticed something in June of 2007 when I visited my brother. I took the highway there and drove at about 120kmph/75mph. On the way home I took the back roads or routes for which I could not really go more than 100kmph/62mph most of the time. Well I literally saw about 150km/90miles more on my trip meter on one tank full. The other option is not to go over the posted speed limit on the highway ( I know it’s hard).
6- Upgrading certain parts of you car to get better fuel burn can also improve efficiency and performance. A performance ignition system may do this for you. Any of those off the shelf toys that say they increase efficiency usually don't (watch myth busters).
7- Tires, those uber performance tires that are wider than you aunt Edna's ass will definitely cost you more in fuel. They do provide more traction but also more drag. The thinner the tire is the less drag it has. Go with the tire size that the manufacturer put on the car in the first place. It was designed to use them anyway.
8- Don’t do anything to change your cars aerodynamic shape. Almost anything you add to the car's exterior will increase the drag and weight therefore your fuel consumption will increase.
9- The estimated fuel economy on the window sticker of your new car gives you certain details as to how economical the car is supposed to be. What they don't tell you is that these ratings are based on a car doing 90kmph/55mph on the highway and 40kmph/25mph in the city (don't quote me on this one but I have read this on a few forums and sites). As for Hybrids, some savvy drivers can get just as good or even better economy than most hybrid cars, which is not to say Hybrids are bad.
10-DO NOT LEAVE YOU CAR IDLING! You car uses more gas when idling then you think so unless you have kids in the car during really cold weather then DON"T IDLE.
11-WALK! If you're just going to the store a few blocks away and you're in no hurry then why not walk there or even take a little bike ride? Besides, it’s good for you.
12-Take the bus or train (electric if possible). Commuter trains are a great way to get from the suburbs to the city and most of them will take you right downtown. This is great if your going shopping with family or friends and you don't have to worry about feeding the Parking meter every 2 hours.
That's it! Common sense mostly.

Global Consciousness vs. "The Force"
Well for starters I am an atheist. God and religion mean absolutely nothing to me. However, I am still struggling with spirituality. This is where my topic comes into play, sorta.
Let me explain a few things before I get into it. I will make the connection don't worry.
First off I am a big fan of Star Wars and the famous "May the Force be with you" phrase. Not a convention going fan but more about the mystery surrounding the "Force". I know what you're saying, not another star wars freak pushing the Force, but I have a connection with reality you will see.
I have recently seen a show on Discovery talking about "Global Consciousness" or what they think may be such. This is basically (a global network of random event generators) some little sensors around the world that sort of detect conscious activity if my understanding is correct. See here for more info http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ and if you want to understand the process.
Quote from http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ :"We have learned that when millions of us share intentions and emotions the GCP/EGG network shows correlations. We can interpret this as evidence for participation in a growing global consciousness. It suggests we have the capability and responsibility for conscious evolution."
Now here goes the correlation between the 2.
The Force is all around us hence so would be a global consciousness.
When something happened in the Star wars universe like many people dying, those who were tuned into the force felt it. In the global consciousness their tests show that when 911 happened the sensors spiked around the world thus telling us something occurs when everyone thinks of the same thing.
The force can help heal or change things and I believe global consciousness can as well.
A Jedi could influence his surroundings and global consciousness can as well. If someone is sick or dying and a truly large number of people are praying for them and therefore thinking about this sick person it may send them the energy to heal them either completely or partially. I don't think we as a race are evolved enough to Heal per say but what if we could help the process along just by thinking about it in great numbers.
A few years ago my daughter had a brain tumor and there were thousands of people (as far as I know) praying for her. She had a few surgeries and treatments and as of today is healthy but I can't help thinking that if no one had thought about her every time they were praying, would the outcome have been the same.
Dark Side vs. the good guys
Obviously the dark side is very bad and don't think I need to explain Darth Vader or the Emperor. Ok so if we as a race were to focus on lets say the negative impacts of global warming or War for that matter and that global consciousness is in fact a reality don't you think it could make things worst. This is also a big part of personal success as in if you focus on the negative you will get more negative. Here is an example. People like to see misery, right? Don't believe me? How many people watch the news every day? The news if filled with crap like traffic, death, war, murder, scams, riots, politics and so on. Why do they put this on the news, because people want it! So more people watching negative crap on TV means the news people will only put more Negative crap on the next day and so on. If you say it has to do with ratings you are partially right but don't forget the power of global consciousness. If everyone is only dishing out negative vibes then they are sort of ordering more negative vibe from the universe. So just like in the Star Wars universe the dark side is easy to succumb to and attractive to all. What do you think would happen if we focused on the Positive stuff? Watching the news only when they showed us the good in the world.
May the global consciousness be with you.

I did learn from the secret
Yesterday a friend of mine came over and we talked about many things. One of which was Ideas and money after he asked about my vision board. I told him the vision board is to allow me to see my goals everyday and when I do I am supposed to visualize what it is like to already have those things. He says he has visions all the time, he is only the idea person, the visionary and not the go-getter so to speak. In my head I say "that is not what the vision board is for, you missed the point" and left it at that.
Then out of the blue he says, “it rains money all the time but never on me!”. My reaction was "that is because you’re always under your umbrella". Metaphorically that means he is always hiding in his comfort zone, unwilling to step into the rain to take some chances.
If you don’t take chances (calculated chances) then you will not get anything.
Anthony Robbins says, “If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.” Now doesn’t that make a lot of sense? Think about it, if you stay in your comfort zone and keep on doing everything the same way all the time then how are you going to get more out of life?
So yes I think I really did learn from watching "The Secret". Thank you.

Affiliate/Refferals BULLSHIT
I am continuously looking for an Internet business and Affiliate/Referral systems seem to be the norm at this time. This is basically sending people to other sites with your referral ID and getting a cut on any sales that may occur. This used to be a Pay Par Click system in the past, which was easy to cheat because all you had to do was have people click on the link.
All of these programs can work if you put the time and effort in to it. That is, advertising and getting people to buy things via your referral ID. Most companies hire a third party to recruit members that will do the advertising for all their affiliate programs and they make a small cut on all sales as well the members who sign up with them. Most of these have no charges for becoming a member since it is to their advantage that they get more followers. Others can charge quite a bit of $$ to start you up and make the same promises of success as any of the free ones. This is where I have an issue.
Yesterday I requested some information about an online moneymaking Monster (so they say). Today I received a call from them and got the low down after all the hype and I was not holding back on the questions for a change. Here is how it went down.
Ring ring ring
Them: Hello, bla bla bla bla you requested information from us regarding bla bla bla bla.
Would you be willing to spend 1 hour or more working at home to make more money?
Me: DUH!!!
Them: ok I will let you listen to a prerecorded message and I will be back afterwards.
Recording goes on for about 9 min with all kinds of hype and high energy
Chit chat. Not to mention that it was WAY TO LOUD. I had the phone about 8 inches away from my ear and the poor speaker was distorting. Any way the recording says things like with a small setup fee we can setup your website and the yearly hosting cost of $19 was included and bla bla bla bla. Basically they say “We setup your site, get you going within 2 days and we help you bring in the customers.” After she comes back on.
Them: Well what did you think?
Me: Sounds like a lot of hype!!
A little pause from them
Them: well let me explain what you will get from us.
Me: How much?
Them: Bla bla bla bla bla
Me: HOW MUCH?
Them: we can start you up for 149$. Does that sound reasonable to you?
Me: All right, go on.
Them: So have you heard of Affiliate systems. They are bla bla bla bla (I explained this
before) and we deal with the likes of eBay, Amazon and so on. We set you up and start you on your way to making big money. You send us customers but we help you do it. This system really works bla bla bla bla bla.
Me: So why do I have to buy in if it so much money can be made? Can’t you set me up
for free like many other affiliate programs do?
Them: well we have a team of 50 people here to get you started and help you along. All
you have to do is advertise your affiliate website.
Me: But you are not answering my question!! Why should I pay if it will automatically
start giving me a return?
Them: Because we set you up with 3 websites and all these people will be working to
Help you succeed…(I interrupt)
Me: I am sure the websites are just clones. A simple copy and paste will make them and I
have affiliate programs that I do make $$ with but are completely free.
Them: this is not an affiliate Program; it is a referrals program that bla bla bla bla bla. (Didn’t she say before that is was an affiliate program) Let
Me finish my presentation and I will answer you questions after.
Me: No, please listen to my question. Why do you need me if your program is so great?
Why can’t you just go out and do all of this yourself and keep all the money if it is so easy? WHY DO YOU NEED ME?
Them: Well I guess we don’t! Thank you, Good-bye.
So what I gathered from this is there is a high probability it is crap but they make $$ on people who try and do not follow through or simply realize it is a scam and move on. I have done a lot of advertising on the Internet and it is not that easy to get people to view you site in particular. In fact it is down right a pain in the ass. Unless someone can prove me otherwise it can cost you a lot of Money to get good rankings in the search engines and even then. SOMEONE PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG AND SHOW ME THE WAY.

Insulting, hypocrite and just plain bad karma!
Quote "I always felt that my brother was the foundation in our family, and I deem him worthy as a role model for kids like myself growing up. Shit happens, and if you listen and learn, you walk out clean."
This is a message that a "family" member has posted on his Facebook page. Now I am not sure what this person were thinking when they wrote this but COME ON MAN. GET A FUCKING CLUE. You can't badmouth someone and in the next sentence tell everyone that person is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Foundation? You always said this person was never there for you yet you claim he was the foundation of your family? Then why do you not ask this person when you need help moving (on your sisters B-Day to boot) and other issues for that matter? Why does this person persist on hating someone (family member) and not let that person even know why so they can at least defend themselves. Yes shit happens and if you put enough deodorant on you will come out "Smelling" clean on the surface. Now I won’t even pretend to know what’s going on with him or his brother but As far as I can tell there is only one person even trying to change for the better and that is their sister.
Seeing this can only make me wonder what other lies and hypocrisy has been dealt to unsuspecting family or other mutual acquaintances. I have heard some of it already and can’t help wondering WHY? Is there a motive? Is this person seeking something? WHY? WHY? WHY Mr. Anderson?
Here is another thing while I am at it. Do you think it’s fair that an uncle is able to see his niece but the auntie never sees her nieces? I wonder what goes on in this uncle’s head when his ex brother in law comes over to his place his niece is there. I mean it is his ex brother in law’s daughter but more importantly his sister’s daughter and in his shoes I would feel a little uncomfortable with it. Now because of the way things are, uncle does not have to talk to his sister to see his niece but NEVER EVER calls his sister to see how she or the rest of the family is doing and is missing out on his currently only nephew who does not even know who his uncle is.
If anything I have a very forgiving nature and in a day or so will have already forgotten all about this.
I could probably write all night but will end it with this
If you do end up reading this just remember one thing. The people around you don’t only talk to you. They talk to others as well, sometimes about you and the things you may have said or done towards others. Eventually leading to the truth and therefore also leading to the lies and deceit so it’s up to you what path you take but in the end they all lead to who you are inside. So the question is, do you want to smell clean or come clean? WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE?
Disappointed

Why does this person persist on hating someone (family member) and not let that person even know why so they can at least defend themselves. Yes shit happens and if you put enough deodorant on you will come out "Smelling" clean on the surface. Now I won’t even pretend to know what’s going on with him or his brother but As far as I can tell there is only one person even trying to change for the better and that is their sister.
Seeing this can only make me wonder what other lies and hypocrisy has been dealt to unsuspecting family or other mutual acquaintances. I have heard some of it already and can’t help wondering WHY? Is there a motive? Is this person seeking something? WHY? WHY? WHY Mr. Anderson?
Here is another thing while I am at it. Do you think it’s fair that an uncle is able to see his niece but the auntie never sees her nieces? I wonder what goes on in this uncle’s head when his ex brother in law comes over to his place his niece is there. I mean it is his ex brother in law’s daughter but more importantly his sister’s daughter and in his shoes I would feel a little uncomfortable with it. Now because of the way things are, uncle does not have to talk to his sister to see his niece but NEVER EVER calls his sister to see how she or the rest of the family is doing and is missing out on his currently only nephew who does not even know who his uncle is.
If anything I have a very forgiving nature and in a day or so will have already forgotten all about this.
I could probably write all night but will end it with this
If you do end up reading this just remember one thing. The people around you don’t only talk to you. They talk to others as well, sometimes about you and the things you may have said or done towards others. Eventually leading to the truth and therefore also leading to the lies and deceit so it’s up to you what path you take but in the end they all lead to who you are inside. So the question is, do you want to smell clean or come clean? WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE?

New Life
I awaken with the sunrise as I always do and get out of my large super comfy bed. I walk to the kitchen at the other end of the house to make myself breakfast and check the weather on the little computer nicely hidden in the corner. Weather network says it will be VERY nice for the next few days. Perfect for the weekend’s event I have planned. Then check my email to see if there are any more confirmations for this weekend. Prefect, CHOM’s Terry and Ted will be attending as well as other prominent celebrities. Ok Time for a shower Kiss the wife and kids and off we go. Lots to do before the races.
Into the garage today, it is nice out and I have been waiting for a nice day in order to take it out for a drive again. After all it has been about 3 weeks since I was able too. No matter how many times I look at it I get Goosebumps. So I take off the cover and get in. THERE IS NOTHING like that new car smell. Put the key in, push in the clutch, Turn the key to the first position, everything lights up and the gauges jump and settle into place. Push the button to open the garage door, and then Start it up. The 500 Horses roar to life. You would think it had a soul as it always gets my heart going. Ease out of the garage and down the driveway to our private street that takes us to the main road. Our street is long, straight and shadowed by tall trees and is so by design. Perfect setting for this car to open up and do what it was designed to do. I accelerate hard and sink into the seat. What takes about 10 minutes at 50kph only takes about four minutes to get me to the main road. Of course I could have done it faster.
A true work of functional art!
Once on the main road I turn towards Montreal and head for the Shop to get things ready for the charity race.
To Be Continued.............
