Wake Up


Ladies and gentleman, this is probably going to be the most important post I have ever done.
It's not a vent and it's not a tin-hat banter.
It's simply a call.

A wake up call.

All I ask is that you have an open mind and the willingness to research for yourselves.

We are being lied to and manipulated by our own elected officials, by our corporations, by our law enforcement, and by every single person within our government about our personal well-being and safety.
We have been taught a way of living that is NOT conducive to the improvement of human life.
We have been pushed in every which way but up and it needs to stop NOW!
If you truly believe your government cares about your safety as a citizen or even as a human being, you are wrong.
Our government has one thing on their mind and they will do any and everything for it, and that's money.

Money, money, money.

Our monetary system has been the poison that drives our lives and it will surely be the demise of our society if we don't do something now!
We are told from a tender young age that we must be smart to get jobs and make money.
That is our way of living.
That's our education.
That is our goal.
That is our EVERYTHING.

The government doesn't care about curing diseases, it cares about the money hospitals make because of diseases.
The government doesn't care about peace, it cares about the profits war creates!
It sure as hell doesn't care about solving the core issue of crime or poverty because when you have poor,  it means you have the rich and when you have the rich it creates scarcity when in FACT, scarcity would not exist if it weren't for the Monetary System.

We have the ability to sustain our civilization and create abundance for all people.
We have the resources necessary to cure diseases, feed the hungry and clothe the poor, but we ALLOW those in power to slap a price tag on them, therefore blocking the ability to create abundance for all!

In a world where sustainment and abundance is provided, money CANNOT exist. It just can't. And the government knows that and will do anything to prevent it.
Why?
Because of the addiction to power. 
It's clear and right in front of our faces.

We spent billions of dollars to create weapons of mass destruction.
Why?
Because of homeland security??
No! Because we wanted to be the biggest, bad ass country in the world.

Imagine if we used that technology to provide food for the thousands of kids dying in many countries, every day!!

The ONLY thing that has ever improved human life is technology.
With technology we travel faster, we connect easier, we are able to find information quicker and obtain efficient medical services.

Has money improved life? No. You can't eat it or put it in your car to drive.
Has the government? No. All they do is make laws, budgets and create wars.
Has religion? No. It's a temporary relief to all of the shit going on in your life. Stories, fabricated to distract you from questioning life and crippling you from seeking more information.

Technology is the only thing that improves human life.
We have been taught to be afraid of it, but that is a flat lie.
When you put technology into the hands of the good, amazing things can happen.

Imagine a world where cars have built in sensors to prevent collisions or sense an intoxicated driver, preventing drunk driving. It's possible and has even been created. 
Industries won't promote them though because accidents, DUIs and death create profit.
A world where we use natural energy like solar, wind, wave or biothermal instead of killing our environment with the burning of fossil fuels.

This kind of world is MORE than possible and very accessible....but its not being pursued because of our corrupt leaders who are addicted to power and prefer a profit-based society rather than a resource-based society.

The question shouldn't be "how much does it cost?" The question should be "how much do you need?"
It's not about profit, it's about the need!
Basic human needs.
Shelter.
Food.
Clean water.
Clothing.
Social interaction.

In a world where technology is so advanced, used for the sustaining and abundance of mankind, there is no need for human labor, therefore giving new incentive to the human mind. 
We will begin to pursue new goals and find new ways to grow as a human civilization.

This is all within our reach.
It has been for years, but those in power ignore it because it is not profitable.

We are being lied to, and we need to end it.
There needs to be a healthy revolution to end this nightmare.
We need to pursue a world where when our grandchildren look back, they will marvel at how ridiculous and backwards our system was. 
Dollar bills will be a thing of history and they will see how many lives were lost because of a simple scrap of paper.

Please research Jacque Fresco, The Venus Project and The Zeitgeist Movement.

This is real guys.
It's not a conspiracy theory, it is truth.
It is time we take back our world, and strive for the improvement of human life.

Your personal beliefs mean nothing when it comes to the necessities of life.

We need to wake up and begin a change.

Share this with EVERYONE you know, and please, do the research for yourself and do NOT rely on any mainstream news stations (CNN, FOX, ABC) for information!

Best Wishes!

Late Night Banter

I sometimes lay in bed, unable to sleep, and I find myself thinking of the most horrible things.
I really can't explain...it is like, anxiety takes over and I am just filled with paranoia and fear.
I think of losing my relationship, waking up to a natural disaster, losing a family member or obtaining a disease.

I hate it.

I sometimes even find myself afraid to close my eyes and sleep because the anxiety infiltrates my dreams. Terrible nightmares and sometimes even extreme sleep paralysis.
Life was once filled with dreams and hope for me.
I would lay in bed for hours writing in my journal or blogging about love and goals.
I don't know what happened to all of it.

Yes, I do love my life.
I have so many things to be grateful for and wouldn't trade it for anything.
I just feel like I'm not all I can be right now.
I have accomplished so many things and people always tell me how wonderful and talented I am.
I know my talents and the knowledge I possess are wonderful, but it's like I'm unable to truly live in every moment.

I feel like these anxieties stem from this.
I have met so many people who are hard workers; who live each and every day and have so much gratitude for life.
They are open to very many things.
They constantly speak of how beautiful life is; constantly uploading pictures of nature, historical monuments or beautiful art.

I used to be that way.

These days, I feel as if I'm missing that core purity I once had.
I moved to Arizona in 2010 after a very depressing mental break down and since then it's as if Jacob has been lost...at least to me anyway.
Yes my friends and family still support and love me, and I have the love of such an incredible man, but I sometimes wonder if I love who I am.
It's almost as if I don't take the time anymore to truly embrace all that I have become.

These anxieties have truly caused me to wake up...to think that if my fears were to happen, where would I go? What would I do?
If my life ended, would I leave a loving and memorable legacy?
Would I be happy with what people say of me?

Would I be happy with how I lived my life?

You know, just typing that feels good.
I rarely get to express how I really feel these days.
I used to journal and write it all...maybe I should start again.

I just want to be 110% happy with everything I do.
Every decision.
Every performance.
Every effort and every word.

I welcome truth, hope, drive, faith, joy, loyalty and most importantly, love.
All of the love possible.

Approve Ref. 74

Here we go again with the unnecessary debate of what is apparently being called the "attempt to redefine marriage."

I can't even begin to describe how upsetting it is, not only as an American citizen, but as a homosexual, tax paying, hard working, love giving, American citizen, to hear of others wanting to deny my rights as so, because my "lifestyle" doesn't coincide with their belief system.

Let's get one thing clear, I have no desire to be apart of your religion. I have no desire to alter your beliefs as a person of faith, and I most certainly do not want to harm your children. I do not understand the logic those who oppose same-sex come up with. Where does it come from?

1. Approving Referendum 74 will redefine what God has instilled since the beginning of time.
-Excuse me? Have any of you even read the Bible? Let's break this down a little bit...
-Deuteronomy 22:28-30, God says for a rapist to marry the woman he has just raped. Awesome.
-Deuteronomy 25:5-10, If said husband dies, wife must marry his brother, and continue down the line. Sweet.
-Polygamy!! This is all over the Bible, no need to state passages. Just read it.
-Exodus 21:1-6, Slave marriage. A lot of slaves were forced to marry and produce slave children. Lovin' it.

Ok you get the point! The Bible never speaks of marriage as simply one man and one woman. Jesus uses it as an example, this I know, but then again He (I capitalized it, ya like that?) even had his disciples up and leave their "domestic" responsibilities in order to follow him. Paul? Yeah, he actually tells us in 1 Cor. not to seek a wife. Thanks Paul, I won't.

2. We Must Protect Our Children.
-Are you kidding me? Since when does allowing 2 people who are in love, who wish to share a mutual agreement to be faithful, loving and commited, harm children?! Maybe its the 41% divorce rate that's harming children, or perhaps the incredible celebrities we see on TV who can't even stay married for longer than 72hours. Will gays get divorces? Yeah, probably, I mean we are HUMAN after all. Sorry about it. Your children are fine. If they see two girls kissing, all you have to do is explain to them that "when two people love eachother very much, they kiss...and get married and stuff." It's called being a parent. Trust me, that'll help any child in the long run...more so than having them sit in church for 5 hours and listen to an old man banter about how terrible life will be if they don't pay their tithes....that was a little below the belt, but you get the point.

3. Pastors and Priests Will be FORCED to Perform Same-Sex Marriage Ceremonies
-Let me ask you something. Would you want someone, on one of the most important days of your life, bitch and moan about how they SO dont wan't to be making this marriage happen right now? Would you, seek a hairstylists who hates you, or a dentist who'd rather pull your teeth out than make you smile? Yeah, didn't think so. So then, why would I seek a Pastor or Priest, or any type of clergyman to perform my wedding ceremony, knowing he/she/it would rather tell me to burn in hell? No one is going to force you to do ANYTHING you don't want to do.

Here's the jist guys, before I get off my soap box. Approving Referendum 74 doesn't obtain any consequences. World War 3 isn't going to break out. Heterosexual couples will still be able to marry....and divorce. Children will be able to choose who they love (remember, we all came from 1 daddy and 1 mommy, so you can't blame the gays for the gays), and life in your own little world, whether gay, straight, transgendered, bi-sexual, queer, what have you, will move forward as you please, with no horrible repercussions.

Just be cool.
Approve Ref. 74.
