The truth is quite clear an unequivocal, and that is there is a soul beyond body. I have been investigating paranormal phenomena for the greater part of the past decade, and I have seen things which defy then laws of physics as we know them. For instance, when I was in a "ghost hunt" in a cemetery in a Nevada ghost town, I was attacked by an unseen force. Some type of a strong grip pulled itself around my throat, causing me to get light headed and dizzy. This all happened near a grave which purportedly has a great deal of activity, I surely experienced something. I have also seen objects move by themselves, such as door knobs being rattled on their own by an unseen force. My friends and I have captured hours upon hours of video, audio, and images of things which are simply from another world. I am sitting here thinking about the larger ramifications of life, and realize that there is more than the eye can see. I do not know the full extent of what is beyond this life, only various mystics have seen the other side. In life, I have not been very spiritual lately, focusing only on the here and now, forgetting what I have experienced. It is time for me to focus on just more than the material objects which are in front of me, and it is time to see the soul beyond the body.

Culture, Legacy, and Death of Diversity
You know, I went on thinking, and I was wondering what kind of legacy has my generation, the millenials, been left with, and the answer is not very promising. I mean culturally, we have Big Macs, television, I-Pods, and Lil Wayne, not very great things to be proud of. There is no sense of diversity or uniqueness any longer. In this country, we used to have Irish pride, Italian pride, Polish pride etc. Now, all these groups have been lumped along with many other groups into a homogeneous mess, there is no difference between the Irishmen and Italian. At least the Hispanics, gays, and black nationalists have a sense of unique identity. I know that some people may see these groups as extreme and in your face, but I admire that they stand for something, they simply don't want to blend in with everyone else. I struggle myself with finding something to identify with, partially because I have no legacy and partially my rugged individualism, and want to belong to something bigger than myself, something to stand up and be proud to represent. I cannot and will not stand up to represent this hollow corporate shell which is called American culture. They can keep their tattoos, Apple products, and cheap genetically engineered food. I sometimes think I live in a lost generation, and sadly everyday I am proven more and more right. It is time for my peers to wake up and reclaim something of a soul before it is too late, however; we maybe past the point of no return. Perhaps this time we live in which is marked by perhaps the greatest amount of mass conformity, it is no coincidence that culture is dead. In a word, we have sold our soul and might no be able to get it back.

Oncoming Novel
I am currently working on a fiction novel, a vampire/gothic/horror piece, which will blow anything out of the water that is released already. It will be somewhat of a reclaimation of the horror genre which has gone to the absolute pits with works like Twilight and its copycats. The story follows the story of a young boy named Nick Crow, who goes through hell and back. It will be an exciting book. Stay tuned.

NCAA Tyranny
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/08/06/report-broker-says-johnny-manziel-paid-7500/2624831/
" While the NCAA investigates a report that Johnny Manziel accepted a "five-figure flat fee" with an autograph broker for signing memorabilia, ESPN reported another broker paid Manziel cash for signing approximately 300 mini and regular-sized helmets on Jan. 11."
I am sick and tired of the NCAA and its archaic rules which penalizes players for being business savvy. The latest fiasco with Johnny Manziel is totally ridiculous. They NCAA is "investigating" him for what, but selling autographs. This is beyond preposterous, and this nonsense needs to stop. If a player wants to sell autographs, memorabilia, or anything else affiliated with them, all power to them. I don't know why the NCAA would want to have such a heavy hand with these type of things, perhaps it is just the sick human ambition for power. If you recall, a couple of years ago there was a similar "scandal" from Ohio State where the star quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, sold some jerseys for money to get tattoos. He was later ostracized, suspended, and the head coach was fired because of it. This type of over authoritarian behavior demonstrated by the NCAA is anachronistic to the utmost extreme. Seriously, it is time we let these students make money off of their hard work. The NCAA needs to be disbanded or needs some type of reform, period. It is time the NCAA changes or goes!

Let's Talk Sex and Love
Top Myths(or Truths) of Cheating
As a man, I will try to tackle these myths, that is, I will try to dispell or validate them. Let's play some Mythbusters witht eh Top Ten Myths of Cheating according to ASKMEN. This can be fun, and hopefully be a little informative. Enjoy!
No.10 Once An Affair Is Out In The Open, A Couple Can Never Be Happy Again
The website says that this is false, but I say it is more true than false, I mean, the relationship might not break over an affair, but it definitely will not be the same. The relationship will go down a very negative path, and this creates a great deal of unhappiness. I'm sorry, once an affair is found out about, the relationship can never be the same and fully recover.No.9 Most People Who Have Affairs Are Unhappy In Their Marriage/Relationship
I think that this one is false, but definitely true. One does not need to be unhappy to face the temptations of being human. A person could be in a relationship, perfectly happy, and just be greedy for more. There is a saying that goes, "Women love too much, and men love too many": and this would ring true to dispel this myth.
No.8 Infidelity Is Never About Sex; It's About Other Marital Issues
As a man, I will try to tackle these myths, that is, I will try to dispell or validate them. Let's play some Mythbusters witht eh Top Ten Myths of Cheating according to ASKMEN. This can be fun, and hopefully be a little informative. Enjoy!
No.10 Once An Affair Is Out In The Open, A Couple Can Never Be Happy Again
The website says that this is false, but I say it is more true than false, I mean, the relationship might not break over an affair, but it definitely will not be the same. The relationship will go down a very negative path, and this creates a great deal of unhappiness. I'm sorry, once an affair is found out about, the relationship can never be the same and fully recover.No.9 Most People Who Have Affairs Are Unhappy In Their Marriage/Relationship
I think that this one is false, but definitely true. One does not need to be unhappy to face the temptations of being human. A person could be in a relationship, perfectly happy, and just be greedy for more. There is a saying that goes, "Women love too much, and men love too many": and this would ring true to dispel this myth.
Patently false! A person could cheat in a relationship simply for sexual issues, period. A man or woman could be perfectly happy in a relationship, but still cheat. It comes back to the simple notion that humans have a tendency to think more=better, and this includes sex. People cheat for money, emotional needs, and sex, which is probably the number one reason.
No.7 You Can't Call It Cheating If Sex Wasn't Involved
Again, this is definitely false. If a person goes to hug. and cuddle with someone else who is not their significant other, it is cheating. If a person stays on the phone all night with a person talking to them as if they were a significant other, it is cheating. To share yourself with a person who is not your partner in a way that you would usually reserve for your partner, then you are cheating on some level. I mean, if you can tell someone something secret,then you should be able to tell your significant other. Again if you share yourself emotionally or physically with someone other than your partner then you are cheating them and yourself!
No.6 Affairs Are All About Sexual Attraction
This statement is the converse of number 8. It is also false as was number 8. There are things in a relationship which are beyond sex, and sometimes those needs are not met. If a person has great sex with someone, but that person does not communicate with them or what not, then they may go to someone else for that need, thus creating a situation where more could develop.
No.5 Affairs Happen Because Of Problems In The Marriage
What marriage, or relationship, does not have an issue or two? So, the idea that relationships fall apart because of problems alone is absurd! For instance, some people may have financial problems, but still are able to make the relationship work without cheating, or another couple may have communication problems without cheating. I believe that it is a conglomeration of problems which become deeply seeded into the relationship which cause them to fall apart. It takes a lot to break a bond,unless that bond was weak in the first place.
No.4 Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater
Mostly true. Yes, there are examples of people who cheat once and do not do it again, but the vast majority do. I have seen time and time again where people cheat, say they won't do it again, and go back to cheating. I am not saying it is impossible to repent and be faithful, I am just saying that it takes an extraordinary person with great character, which happens not to be most people.
No.3 After An Affair, Kiss Your Marriage Goodbye
Again, like number 1, mostly true. If you cheat on your spouse, then your marriage will not be the same, and most likely it will disintegrate. I've seen relationship after relationship fall apart due to cheating, and that is the case on the grand scale as well. The empirical evidence backs my claim.
No.2 Affairs Happen With People Much Younger Or More Attractive
Half truth. As I said earlier, sex is probably the number one reason why people cheat on someone, so it makes sense to think that a person would try to cheat with someone they feel is more attractive then their partner, but this is not always the case. Everyone has seen people who go and cheat with someone who is far less attractive then their partner. You end up thinking to yourself that this person would be crazy to cheat on a beautiful person like the one they had.Bottom line, people are crazy, and cheat for crazy reasons beyond sex.
No.1 Affairs Happen Because Guys Are On The Prowl For A Little On The Side
Mostly true. Men are sexual creatures, and they by instinct are tempted to spread their genes to as many places as possible, just check a BIO 101 textbook. Guys will often get greedy and not be satisfied with having just one partner, the one's who are tend to be men with phenomenal character. I say a lot of cheating is just because men want to give into temptation.

Thunder,Lightning, and Rainbows
I am going to open up on a more positive note today, and that is quite unusual for me, being that I am one of the biggest cynics around. I want to sit and reflect on a positive thing to be thankful for, it does get quite exhausting to be harping on about the negativity in this world.
First off, love does exist, period. It is not a fairy tale. If love is not real, then what I have is better, it is something more than what can be conceptualized and articulated by human language, meaning the word love itself is not adequate for what I posses in life. I know all of this surely. I cannot fully understand what has happened nor why, but it has. For the longest time I did not believe that love existed, nor did I ever believe in the words "soul mate" or that someone could be "made for you". I was a pure skeptic about "true love", I always hoped it was true, but now I have converted to thinking it is true. The chances that two people from very different backgrounds who have so much alike can simply fall into each other's lap would be a coincidence that would have odds smaller than an internal combustion engine spontaneously freezing upon start up or someone winning the lottery ten times in a row, it is that unlikely. Why I am here in this moment of my life in a relationship with the person I am with is beyond me, only Hashem knows, however; I am embracing the moment and going with it 110%.
Secondly, what does the average person reading this blog have to learn from the emotional gushing I am doing now, what is in it for you? Well, I have some quick advice for everyone out there. If you have a good person in your life, a person who loves you for who you are and will be with you through hell and back, then DO NOT let that person go. To paraphrase a quote I heard somewhere, a good woman,or man, comes around only once perhaps every ten years, and a great one only comes around once in a lifetime. The person I have now IS that GREAT ONE, I will not let go , and if you have someone like that, then do not let go either. Treasure that person as gold, heck I call my girlfriend my goddess! Do not be torn apart by people who are simply jealous by your happiness, just keep fighting on. It is not worth losing a perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity because someone else, or "elses", might disapprove of your relationship, or want to tear it apart for some other nefarious reasons. Live life for you, that's it! If you are young, and have found someone who might be "the one", then dedicate yourself to that person and the building of your relationship, you will be happier for doing so. Do not let the nasty noisy negativist voices of your peers say things like that you need to enjoy your youth by drinking yourself drunk as a single person or that you are too young to settle down, they are just jealous of what you have found. If you are older, and have been through living hell with relationships in the past, then try to come with a fresh outlook on your significant other, because they might just be the person you have waited for your entire life for. The popular saying that there are other fish in the sea is only a HALF TRUTH! Surely, there are many fish in the seas, but no other fish is quite like the one you have, and if it is thrown in to the ocean of the world, then you will never get a fish like that one again. It will be gone forever. Bottom line, keep good people in your life and fight rabidly to keep them there.
When you meet someone and they shake you like thunder, light up the darkness of your soul like a bolt of lightning, and bring happiness to your life like the scene of a bright rainbow after a storm, that is the one, your soul mate. I have found mine. I pray to God you find yours and wish blessings and good fortune upon you.

The Plutocracy Will Fight
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/08/02/apple-price-fixing-remedy/2612041/
"The Justice Department and attorneys general from 33 states submitted a remedy to a federal court in New York that would require Apple to terminate with the five book publishers it worked with to raise prices on e-books. The proposal would also require Apple to provide links to competitors Amazon and Barnes & Noble from their e-book apps for two years."
This is another indicator we live in nothing but a PHONY VERSION of capitalism where the owners of the society act like high priests and dictate the actions that occur, like price fixes. This is a good blow the to the Apple oligarchy, but this is only scratching the surface as this type of price fixing occurs with all types of products ranging from food to clothes. That type of corruption seeps to the highest levels of society,and the common person knows little about it. Apple is acting as a sarificial lamb to appease some while other oligarchs will still get away with murder. The government is only going after Apple to make an example, but they will allow others to continue with these evil types of actions. The truth is, the government is controlled and owned by the oligarchs, so the government will not only allow this type of action to go on, it will facilitate this type of thing. I repeat, this is only meant to preserve the illusion that the bad guys are being defeated, it is only an illusion, because the bad guys rule over us. Look at President Obama, who says he will lower corporate taxes and raise taxes on foreign production for an example. He is saying a good thing but he or the parties will never do it. Obama's biggest supporter, General Electric, makes billions of untaxed dollars in revenue overseas. I don't he will bite the hand that feeds him. In all, just take away that big government, big money, and big business are all one in the same.
