Respect other and you shalt be respected

Something that irritates me endlessly is when people want to tell others what to do and try to force their views down the throat of millions.

Religion is the most guilty. Who gives some pervert priest the right to complain against the viewing of any television program? Religious people succeeded to ban porn TV, while there are at least 10 TV channels preaching their poison.

Not that I care about porn TV (there is an internet;) but what the hell do they think gives them the right to even complain.

What sparked this post was an even worse act of stupidity from some people who complained about an advert on TV where a dog licks the ice cream of a little boy. Whoa. Now this is horrible. Dogs licking ice cream may lead to the murder of, erm..... Nobody?

The friendly acts of religion is well documented. The crusaders murdered nations and some civilizations today are lost in the name of some false god. We see people being accused of witchcraft and murdered even today. In Marikana there were people selling muti (magical herbs) to people leading them to believe that their ancestors will make them invincible, leading to the death of more than 30 people. Who remembers 911?

These are just a few examples of religious cruelty. Next time you you post a religious message on facebook, please keep in mind what you are propagating. Do not expect me to respect you.

Respect me by keeping your shit to yourself and I will respect you.

Shut up and stick to killing your neighbor.

Cape Town, here I come

I will be in Cape Town for the next 2 days. Nation Dealer Awards.

When looking for a pretty picture of Cape Town to add to this post I realized such a thing does not exist.

My ability to notice beauty must be clouded. My idea of beauty is surely different from the rest. What I noticed about photos of Cape Town, is that almost all the photos on google is about, wait for it, yes, the Cape Town stadium at Green point. I had to search for a photo that does not have that ugly blob in the middle, and this one is of the harbor. Not exactly beautiful.

I realized my idea of beauty is clouded by my experience. Beauty for me is natural. A desert scene is beautiful. Somehow a sea s not beautiful. Reminds my of the Ghost Town.

More important to me is a beautiful experience and not a beautiful scene. Sitting for 2 hours talking to Anne about writing songs is my idea of a beautiful experience. Listening to a group of people singing a song I wrote is my idea of beauty. A big office with pictures against the wall is not beautiful.

Find a topic for your blog (Wtf?)

Currently reading: Problogger by Darren Rowese and Chris Garrett

 

I am only starting out on this book. Great book so far, so please take my post here not as a criticism on the book as a whole, but rather a Wtf on society in general. Go buy the book. Go green and buy the e version, even though amazon rip us all off by charging more for the e version than the paper copy (another pet peeve of mine, but we'll save that for later).

 

Getting to chapter 2. This chapter is all about finding a topic for your blog. Our learned authors go through a fair bit of detail on how to decide to blog first and then how to decide what to blog about.

 

Am I the only one who sees the problem here? Why are you blogging if you do not know what you want to blog about in the first place? If you do not have a topic to blog about, you should not even be thinking about blogging. Geez.

 

The book starts off by telling you how to make money blogging. the good news is they say that blogging takes a lot of time to make money. No get rich quick like Justin Bieber schemes here. Then they go into a lot of detail about finding a topic that you are interested in. Really? Are there people out there actually blogging about topics they have no interest in?

 

Well, these guys are serious bloggers and are obvious authorities on the subject of blogging, and I'd guess life in general. When they say it is how things happen, I am inclined to believe them. So, yeah, there are actually a lot of people out there blogging about things they have absolutely zero interest in, just with the hope of becommng rich and famous. Blogging for the sake of blogging. Flying the flag for all of us. Soldiers in the ditches.

 

OK. Maybe it is just me, but this is exactly why there are so many pointless blogs about absolutely nothing important (yeah, like this one) on the internet blogging about things they, or anybody else, have zero interest in.

 

Truth to be said. I started this blog as an alternative to my real important blog about something useful on advice from these guys. This way I can post any useless stuff here and not cloud my really useful blog. So, I started blogging about something I was really interested in, then read a book, and then decided I need a blog about absolutely nothing.

You will always have noting to do if you do not have anybody to do something for

You will always have noting to do if you do not have anybody to do something for

 

Now watching - Streets of fire

Great music. Especially Jim Steinman's Fire inc. songs.

 

Stop bitching, start a revolution

Generally people hate being made a fool of and being stood up.

So, before you bitch for half an hour for nobody helping you, bother to tell them the right place and right time where you are.

Time is precious. Just because you have nothing better to do with your life, does not mean everybody else is just as hopeless. Respect other people and they will treat you with respect.
