Grim Thoughts

I'm sure everyone goes through moments where they realize how short and finite our time here is. Our entire existence is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. When you think of how large the universe is and how much we don't even know here on earth such as what exists deep in the oceans and the complex life forms all over the planet, etc. It becomes even scarier when we wonder what exactly happens when we die and if there is even anything for us afterwards. I feel confident that we experience life after death and not just by what religion teaches us. I'm fascinated with accounts of near-death experiences and how they all are unique but at the same time have eerily similar elements. I also strongly believe in a higher power and again not just from what religion teaches us. But I think we all wonder "what is the point of this life?", "How does it relate to our afterlife (if there is one)?". There has to be something to it all. Why is our existence so amazing and complex for us to just live a few years and die? It's funny to think sometimes how people spend their entire life just focused on getting rich and gaining material things, but then they die and that's it. What was the point of all that? Especially if there's nothingness after we die. Is it to leave behind things for your kids and future generations? Well they're all gonna die too! So what's the point??? Why do we care so much about not destroying the planet? The planet will eventually be destroyed at some point anyway? Are we going to delay it by a few years or a few million years? What was the point? Now some loser from the super future will get to live out their pointless life? What is it to us that he existed? I'm not some anti-environmentalist and I think we should care about taking care of the planet, but are we really making a difference in the grand scheme of things? I know this is kind of a depressing blog but I see it as a bit intriguing. I think we'll all get the answers we seek and in ways we can't even comprehend. Just some thoughts......

Panhandling for a Funeral

I was driving up the street from my job to pick up some food from a restaurant for a meeting I lead when I saw people on almost all corners of a busy intersection and in the median at the stop lights holding signs to raise money for a funeral. The signs said something about a funeral for a guy that got killed in a car accident and I'm thinking "It's a little ironic to be in the middle of a busy intersection for someone who died in a car accident and there's a lot of crazy drivers out here and you put yourself in danger with so much traffic. Someone holding a sign was actually walking in the crosswalk when it really wasn't okay to be crossing at the time since traffic on the other side of the street had a green light. It would be so embarrassing if one of them got hit. I'm sorry for your loss and all but stop with the begging for money in the middle of busy intersections. Do people actually give money there? There are so many people with signs begging for money ...

I Got Stopped for Speeding in a School Zone

A few weeks ago I was pulled over right after dropping the girls off at school. I was heading to work, but right before I got out the school zone I see flashing lights from a motorcycle cop. I wasnt even going that fast and I was behind another vehicle going at their pace. When I pulled over I was thinking I should take my phone out and start recording like a first amendment auditor. He told me I was going "21 in a 15" which is so stupid. Like, come on, thats not even that fast, idiot. I should have been like "am I being detained? What crime do you suspect me of committing? Do you have reasonable articulable suspicion?" He asked for ID and registration and I gave it to him like a good boy. I should have got into nigger mode and argued with him and pulled the race card. "Why didnt you pull the other car over? Is it cuz I'm black?" Maybe I should have pulled off and got into a high speed chase. That would be cool. Anyways, sure enough I got a written war...

Where Dem Blacks?

Image
I've been at my job for a year now and I'm like the only black person in the office. There's actually a black field guy that I've never seen but I know he's black because I saw his Facebook when I looked someone else up and saw he was a friend of that person (No, I don't stalk people.........😐). Over the year I did see a black girl getting a tour of the office and later in the year there was a black guy I saw walking around the office for a few days. Maybe they're working upstairs or in another building, but I have not seen them again. We have two two-story buildings but it's not real big. Overall it is a good sized company which has offices in a few other western states (2 in CA, 1 in AZ, and 2 in ID). There's enough people in the Las Vegas office that there should be more black people around. If they are here I should see them at least once in a while, but I highly doubt they are here. Not to be racist, but we have so many Asians working here (and...
