To solve a crisis. Human rights. Claims.

Apply a fact.
This is LEADing_google.com/ into the revelation of inheritance over the domain which ultimately redefines the manufacturing of data and information based on the production of human capital which is managed by the claims to rights of management of groups meeting the requirements of regulation by governing body. Hopefully.

This is a reference to understanding human social behavior, because the social structure and collective conscience of the people are an intricate variable to how risks are perceived, how actions are formed, and how we live how we live.

vox rocks, the beat, I see me in the sane...inside the limits of boundaries we can't comprehend.
Above is a note to remind self. It may not make sense, unless it is given the context of social networking, information and data. These are significant because they are representations of the people, in an extent.

This is the Bank of America. This is AT&T. This is AIG. This is HSBC, JPCHASE, American Express, Visa, Mastercard and the Issuing Banks and Wholesale Financial Institutions which manage the shareholder investment in the working capital of the world, a world populated with individual production units (people), with specified needs, rights, and responsibilities, authority, expectations of behavior and general human-ness, which make up the boundaries of terrestrial social systems.
Expectation of behavior are limited to those known to humans, only. Note: rather large category, with very grey edges and rather few direct oppositional intersects.

We are a monopoly, whether we choose to be or not, and we are listening to you, but we don't have the insight, as of yet, to listen without defeating your right to privacy, without your consent. Rights, individual, will be subjugated to the claims for rights of the collectives.
HUMAN rights.
Claims adjusters necessary.
Insurance and finance are one. We'll need to work with this, not against it. I apologize to His Honor Mr. Clinton for suggestions in previous documents I've authored which claim legislation blending the two was particularly questionable, as I know now that it is one structure and it must be dealt with accordingly.

Systematic reduction of personal financial responsibility.
Reduction clarification: to reduce the ailments of greed-based personally satisfying characteristics (in regard to behavior).

Personal financial responsibility.
Maintaining financial and economic value with proper management is not a given right, wealth of mass in such terms is not a right, it is a duty, and with it comes the responsibility to respond ethically and in a manner consistent with the untainted desires of the general population.
General population in an anthropology-oriented system of grouping, is to maintain and identify groups of individuals for the reconciliation of personal financial responsibility and the needs of the groups at stake; with a clear understanding that there is one group and the other groups flow into it seamlessly and efficiently. They come from a variety of superimposed situational, and overlapping roots, which is, in aggregate, the species.
Species recognition.
The legal community is a group.
The acedemic community is a group.
Significant group. The closest claimholders (as collectively agreed via legal process)1 to those having realized and proper rights to the geospatial boundaries (think of geographic-orientation as representative of a socio-cultural space, or boundary).

Group Classification; sub-topic: realized by the measure of legitimacy present through collectivity and desires of groups of individuals working in reflexive nature to produce the group identities necessary to function based on the existing model of human behavior and action.
Sub-topic: Boundaries, coordinates, and measures of terrestrial boundary and "those having realized" the inheritance of "proper rights" to those boundaries, as established via the system for mapping and territorial zoning that exists currently.

Managing financial responsibility is best when the directions of the sound and logical, well-reasoned leadership comes from a base group with the interests focused.
Focus itself is not static and must be managed outside, and in fact, beyond the political process which regulates the business group. Perhaps we think of checks and balance from the standpoint of process: designed to eliminate disfunction and optimize production, through management of resources and capital, human or otherwise. Be mindful that virtually all capital seems to have the capacity to be related to some form of human capital-based productivity (This comes in many forms, yes? No?).

Are not to assume current is best for future, or that past equals success over current, but reflexively we can share responsibility with a compassionate and less-"pirahnic" methodology.

1-Legal process is a formation of what? Apply the ethical determinism argument from the disciplines and populate analysis of the formation, desire, need, intent, past, current, future, and all attributes necessary to glean the proper conduct of political processes in the post-colonial terrestrial existence.

Finding assest to manage is the contemporary collective memory and conscience induced behavior pattern which expresses the value and worth of an individual as percieved by the misconceptions which exist due to the production of collective memories, which are prone to fail as reliable for the formation of ideals and goals because it is often a construction, rather than fact or truth.

Open letter to Google:

Is Google willing to lead the world on a quest for quality? Overall quality: the tendency to realize a future where the quality of everything is better than it would have been had it not been tampered with.
Social management. Financial responsibility. How are these regulated, controlled and connected?

I can maintain a communicative enlightenment session with the leaders of the free world because I have been charged with the duty and responsibility by the terms of life itself, through the involvement of forces which are both random and organized, planned, subjective, reflexive and, in sum, whole, without restriction; a result of the existence of all forces combined and arranged in this stream of data we call life on earth.

What is good for business, is good for business. Population control for the overtaxation of business is greed, and it is faulty.

A method of study which produces an average opinion of an average sample with average characteristics and applied relevance to the larger group is able to provide research which forms a direction for the application of intentions which are human produced and oriented in the direction those charged with production, and which lead to designed applications intended to produce goals which coincide with the intentions of the group facilitating management of management, where management the second time is the collectively aggregated sum total of group; aka the human race.

Look at my life. Look at how closely I am related to industries which are dominant producers of goods supplied to meet the requirements, demands, and whims, even, of the consuming group and all subgroups.
Who has the capability to look at my life in order to judge my relevance to the larger groupings I fall into, and then direct the boundaries for the larger group I am a part of, without mandating my terrestrial experience, and violating my privacy and individual liberty boundaries?

I am asking for a donation for improvements to the space occupied by Google, its leadership, employees, stakeholders, and dependent individuals affected by the direction and leadership of the organization.

This may seem arrogant, but it is not, because it is not with desire or greed for myself that I am able to assist in the leadership endeavors, but because my life has chosen me to react to the pressures, which can change radically from negative to positive, with spontaneously randomized inconsistency...irrrrr...well, let's say that life is random, and we are subjects of its direction, which is beyond the control of an individual, or even an entity, in some respects, simply due to the fact that human beings do not have the capacity to manage life to the degree that it does not in and of itself manage human beings.

Searching for quality. I believe in this mission, and it does not have to relate directly to equality, as if it is pure quality, it will ultimately be directly related to equality.

Could a hoax be a hoax design? Could intentions online be made personal? Could online activity find a way into the domain which is technically, under law, the property of the intellectual who produced those activities, but is considered the property of the domain in which they reside? Is this domain to be owned, controlled, commodified and maintained?

Management of executive assets is under close scrutiny at this time.

Executive planning.

This is a method used to execute the dominated, either with intent or none, in such a way as to render the dominated incapable of recognizing the execution in progress, and either emotionally or physically (metaphysically, too?), or both, leave the dominated ignorant of such planning...perhaps there are not so many conspiracies? Perhaps identifiying the ones that do exist aids in determining those that do not, and thereby grouping all in existence satisfactorily.

Give aways, of financial subsidy, could occur which stimulate in a randomized fashion, but a better process would engage production units interactively with the production of quality.

Perhaps this is too deep at present, for the comprehension necessary to institute behavior based on the quest for quality, but I assert that the quest for quality is never, in true form, an undertaking which should not exist.

This is an example of worldwide distribution of knowledge necessary for orderly and sane, scientific and spiritual and simple, straightforward quality control.
Philadelphia owns the world, based on geographic and social power, and the inclusion of major influences? Why, or why not?

How can data be directly transferred to power and control, and to what extend is it allowable to utilize this data in such a way as to exercise and execute quality control?

Concentration in life...it's 3-D, and moving...

2009-09-12T22:27:00.002-05:00

"I know you probably don't want to hear this, but you need to concentrate on your life. ..."
This is the result of collective memory, collective consciousness, and beliefs in things that are the product of manipulation by an industry which has supplied so many romanticized fantasies and superimposed realities that the general population (those subject to manipulations, spectrum of prone-ness, included) cannot effectively distinguish between inherent cultural value and the culture which is created by this manipulation.
It shouldn't be necessary to include too much information about how to fix society, in general, though, in order to impart some analysis which might have an effect on single family residential housing notes, but it does need to be discussed, in some context, because the general population does have a good deal of responsibility for the conditions which exist, although they do not always seem to act accordingly, nor do they appear to always be aware of the fact that they do, collectively, have responsibility.
Messages. Just the word alone gives importance to the claim above. It is a message that is sent when...how...what is the best way to reach out to gain the attention of the general population and give them the opportunity to understand the life we lead, as a collective, in the way that Government and Business understand the life we lead...
Are there policies in place, anywhere, anyhow, anyway, which place restrictions on the knowledge of the general public for any interests whatsoever? Of course there must be, when we look at Homeland Security. But, are there others? And in fact, what are they over at Homeland Security? Who knows this information? Who regulates this? How can this be done, perhaps, while still maintaining control, but also giving necessary disclosure to the general population, so that they may be as informed as is necessary to insure against the catastrophic event that economic collapse represents.
Collapse is a loaded term, as we have discussed recently. Collapse leads us to believe everything stops working, when in fact, the only thing that we know for certain about the future is that it will keep coming, and it will keep us functioning in one form or another. We will continue to survive. We know this.
What we need to be considering now, with the involvement of all the stakeholders, is how we expect to continue to survive. Under what conditions, and what can we do to prevent those we don't desire, and foster those that we do. In fact, can we even begin by finding some common ground in determining what we agree on.

Two versions of this exist on a recent post, there are minor additions in each, but for the most part the text is repetitive.

The human race and a collective group of individuals with claims to rights, inherent needs, basic equality and the individual right to pursue happiness and enjoy freedoms which do not negatively impact upon the reciprocal quality rights of other individuals, or their grouped and politically accepted identifying affiliations.
Politics maintain the boundaries of acceptable desired normalities, maintained by groups of individuals.
Economic resources are simply resources. Resources require management; some of which is inherently incorporated in the process of life which exists beyond the intentions and directions of humankind's influence over determinism as a whole.

There are useful items that have already been developed which could create a substantial difference in the amount of pollution we humans excrete into the atmosphere, ground and water by our need for transportation.

I've found a few pages on wikipedia which I'll link to which may eventually help us create cleaner transportation, and are explanatory of certain methods some automakers are already using in this endeavor.

wikipedia.org: Hydraulic_accumulator
wikipedia.org: Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain
wikipedia.org: Supercapacitor

There will be more on this issue in the future as I begin to implement some of my own designs...

Prolific Thought Regarding Human Civil Proceedings

2009-02-03T16:51:00.004-06:00

I'm not going down for this one.
It's clear what has transpired, and why it has transpired.
I will not be held beyond my responsibility to act according to the normally acceptable and rationally sane manner in which I react to my surroundings.
I am not liable to be discredited by my action when that action is which is within a certain acceptibility when considering the specifics of my ability to react based on the social normalcy ratio, from deviant to just, from good to bad.

History is a complete record. It is not "African American" history or "Asian American" history, Muslim History, or any less than a complete record. What has transpired: History.

Evidence will suggest proof, and plausibility of proof will determine amplitude of truthfulness believed commonly.
Commonly.
Common History is a complete record comprised of the events determined to be accurately depicted by record of truthfulness believed commonly.

Collectively humans gain records and attribute those records with levels of merit as it is widely accepted and generally acknowledged. This is how we create a Historical reference.

It is this Historical divide, that between the Human creation of History, and actual History, which underlies many of the differences, in particular circumstances, such as Court proceedings, tribunals, etc, etc, etc. This is important when realized intangibly in the Political system, and Judicial System, as well as within Global communication.
Humans: We are a two party, three party, and endless infinite party. We are world entity, and we are in a collection.

What this means is that judgement needs to be passed with extreme care and most likely a single point of reference is going to prove insufficient for determining all pertinent factors in order to pass judgement upon situations where credibility is concerned.
Lawfulness and credibility.

Many irresponsible actions do occur, of course. However, we are failing to provide relief for cause in many cases, which is why the punitive system breeds failure, and not success, which are of course, contentious views, and at opposition, much of the time.

We will examine a way to devise proper basis for administering relief for adequately documented action which leads us to provide for the judged in the context of lawfulness and, or, credibility.

The more credible a source is and the more informed the inquisition is, the better the result of the economic distribution the provisions for the adjucated (individual or entity).

Presidential tasks and our future.

But pawn? Be honest. Not telling you what to do but how things are. Using reason before action, please.
We must understand the leadership fully. We are the change movement.
Let's be advised to act by utilizing the proper leadership. That is what we decided, let's implement that plan.

Dear Jesse,

We wanted to tell you about a new feature on Change.gov which lets you bring your ideas directly to the President.

It's called the Citizen's Briefing Book , and it's an online forum where you can share your ideas, and rate or offer comments on the ideas of others.

The best-rated ones will rise to the top, and after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors. If you participate, your idea could be included in the Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama.

Visit the Citizen's Briefing Book now and share your ideas:

Throughout this Transition, a truly inspiring number of citizens have gotten involved. We hope that you remain involved through the Inauguration and beyond.

Thank you,

Valerie

The new Secretary of the Interior must bring strong, focused leadership to the position in order to ameliorate the devastating effects of the Bush administration’s eight years of failed environmental policy. We strongly believe that Congressman Grijalva’s background and record show him to be a leader ready for this challenge. As Arizona’s congressional representative, Congressman Grijalva has shown a broad range of passion and expertise for conservation and management of public lands. He has highlighted the Bush administration’s attempts to undercut science in favor of industry interests and sought ways to work with agencies and environmental groups to better protect public lands. For this, Grijalva has gained respect in the environmental community for his clear and decisive positions on sometimes complicated issues. As a member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, Grijalva was responsible for leading one of the largest counties in the United States. With large urban areas, vast expanses of federal land, rapid population growth, a high density of endangered species, a shared border with Mexico, and an ethnically and politically diverse populace, Pima County is microcosm of the issues a Secretary of the Interior must be capable of managing. In this position, Grijalva demonstrated not only knowledge of the issues, but a natural ability to bring differing interests together to reach mutually acceptable agreement. He was a leader in the development, approval and funding of the precedent-setting Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. Bringing federal, state and county governments together with conservationists, developers and scientists, Congressman Grijalva helped forge one of the most far sighted endangered species protection plans in the nation. One of the immediate tasks for the Secretary of the Interior will be to deal with growing national water problems. Management of drought and the ability of the Secretary to bring powerful, conflicting interests to the table will be essential, as evidenced by the recent crises in Georgia and Florida, the continuing controversy on the Klamath River, and the scientific consensus that the Colorado River is dangerously over-allocated. Grijalva has long been involved in drought management on the San Pedro, Santa Cruz and Colorado Rivers and is well-prepared to tackle these issues on a national level. Grijalva’s record of anticipating and working to address growing environmental problems will also be an important asset in the Secretary of the Interior position. Expanding forest fires, the melting of the Arctic, drought in the interior West and Southeast, loss of endangered species habitat, rangeland degradation, and permitting of coal mines, coal plants, and other traditional and alternative energy projects all point to global warming becoming the central issue for DOI lands and jurisdiction. Grijalva has been a leader in pressing Interior and other federal agencies to integrate global warming issues into their planning and permitting. Grijalva’s experience in key environmental Congressional caucuses has prepared him to lead the full range of agencies within the Department of the Interior. In addition to his chairmanship and work on public lands, he has worked closely with Native American communities his district includes seven sovereign nations and has served on the Subcommittee on Insular Affairs. Also, as a Representative from the arid southwest he is intimately familiar with the responsibilities of the Bureau of Reclamation. Further, Grijalva’s leadership in the labor and Hispanic communities has allowed him to move beyond the long-held false dichotomies of environment vs. jobs and species vs. rural communities to promote better management and use of public lands. This is especially important because Hispanics are the fastest growing users of public lands in the West. Their interests have been largely ignored to date, even when those interests are harmed by federal land development and extraction and access policies. The Interior will benefit from Grijalva’s ability to bring these interests to the table. Grijalva’s demonstrated keen knowledge of procedural issues regarding public lands will also be an asset to the Secretary of the Interior position. In 2008, he led efforts to stop damaging mining on BLM lands and other federal lands where the Secretary of the Interior, BLM and Minerals Management Services have permitting authorization. This was largely due to his innate ability to understand and compellingly explain how poorly planned mining threatens local communities and water supplies. In the last decade, central management issues on public lands including logging, ORVs, fire management, grazing, mining and water conservation have changed from deeply rural issues to an urban interface. Grijalva’s experience in the major urban center of Tucson has provided a hands-on understanding of the new urban-edge dynamic and an appreciation of the resulting political constituencies that are emerging. The next Secretary of the Interior must have a nuanced understanding of the complex issues involved in protecting and stewarding our natural resources and lands. With the recent economic downturn, there will be calls for increased energy production at the risk of significant environmental destruction. We believe that Congressman Grijalva’s demonstrated strength in navigating these sensitive issues and his commitment to science-based decision-making will serve the Interior well as it moves beyond the Bush administration’s policies. As organizations dedicated to protecting imperiled animals, plants and our wild lands through sound science and enforcement of environmental laws, we regularly interact with federal agencies within the Department of the Interior. It is with this perspective that we heartily endorse Raúl Grijalva to be appointed as its Secretary. Sincerely, Craig C.

A Guide for: dangerous emotions and controlling life.

2009-01-11T21:17:00.003-06:00

a guide for mothers: anger and abuse, a cycle founded in abuse, excuse, fear, guilt and shame.

We are presently engaged in the process of creating mothers who are going to define the results produced by the humans they modify. The human mind is consistently evolving and the best way to ensure that yours functions with the highest capacity is to learn to understand that you will learn to adaptively engage with your surroundings, but that, more importantly, you are able to influence the way that you learn-and that, that will adaptively adapt you to your surroundings in the most beneficial way.
This benefit will be to the benefit of the entire race of humans if the limiting pressures are disolved and the positive means are conceived, revealed and pursued actively, with merit, honesty, wholesome regard for others, and the ability to treat all humans as though they must expect to deserve the same as any other human.
Be careful, however, because there is a lot of uncertainty in the way the world puts pressures on your brain, and believing that you can learn is of great importance, but recognizing what you learn is similar to learning what you recognize...this isn't making sense; but it does make sense.
We learn and act according to what we learn and the things we learn. We regard and engage with, we are integral with, the influences which cause us to behave in certain ways, once we've experienced a certain exposure to specific influences. Influences are things that we must expect even though it is true that often we won't be expecting them.
Behavoirs of others can lead to our adapting with ourselves and existing within our own expectations.
If the way you are experiencing life is causing you to feel like it is expected that you will feel shamed, suffering, insult, abuse, be abusive, or find yourself in despair, hopeless, and like the emotions you should naturally process are causing you to feel isolated and alone, then the best thing to do is to contact me so I can contact your mental health provider.
Emotional health and human services.
Contact me to have this expanded and published widely.

thought I'd be serious and pass along events as they transpired to the best of recorded knowledge...
in other words, a recant of the brief past:

jesatiu: have you ever seen man change things? I have. I said, "join me, watch me..."
jesatiu: @theunited I would walk five blocks and I would walk six blocks and i won't stop editing man until 140 characters has run its course.
jesatiu: @Hunee just what the doctor of infatuation said before removal of the ability to desire...it'll be ok buddy...
jesatiu: @Hunee je pense silencio est muy beuno parce que que el guitare est trop avante...un peu, et toi, elle pensaint(conjugate!), eh? el diablo
non! est trés idealiste, et aussi, elle est beaucoup forte, et el dentisto est un whacky mo fo, ya get me?...the butcher the baker...
jesatiu : @Hunee AND the candlestick maker...weeeee...fun times indeed thou art partaking of...but alas, je dois travaille.

And an excellent quote from @AnnBernard
"@scottph It's shaken me up to my core - yes, more thank great...it's amazing. "

Taken totally out of context and misappropriated wildly.

Unless applied to the symptoms for the following lyrics and state of being a being.

jesatiu "too much work and i'm spent...there's too much pressure and armament...and all these little things in life, they all create this haze."

Hunee @jesatiu morning hugs for you buddy ...it'll be ok :) smile

PaulWalsh : I absolutely love what I do. I love my friends. Im delighted to have taken this path. Are you? If not only you can change your environment.
jesatiu @ldpodcast. that must be frustrating. could be a sign. 501c3 status not so difficult...in long run, in short term: that must be frustrating. about 3 hours ago from web in reply to LDpodcast

Enabling 501 c(3) classification for ldpodcast a good thing. Trust me.

jesatiu @paulwalsh. change. the word of the millenium so far. but what comes of it, in reality, when we look back to ten years from now...hmmm.
jesatiu @paulwalsh don't get me wrong, i'm pleased you are pleased with where you are, that is something to be excited about. many can't state same.
jesatiu @paulwalsh I'm also in that position in isolated sense, yet the larger global picture often seems to show painful reflections of...humanity.
(Or could there be instances of inhumanity among us?) (Beware the rhetorical; advice.)
jesatiu "too much work and i'm spent...there's too much pressure and armament...and all these little things in life, they all create this haze."

not so bad food...

Mccain/US elite allies push for Clinton, fear running against Obama

2008-03-31T09:14:00.003-05:00

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/03/29/the-wrong-nigga-to-fuck-wit-dilemma-for-barack/

larry johnson, in this case, proves that, in the case of "chris," it is possible that, "you can fool some of the people all of the time."

larry johnson is a bigot, racist (unintentionally), and is continuing to push for a Mccain led White House.

Several commenters have seen this as fact, because, simply, it is fact.
Review the comments, be very open minded, and between the lines you will read that Mr. Johnson is a spy in the ranks of the Democratic party.

I am not sure why, "Chris," you are so convicted, with your support for and admiration of this man, but I assure you, from reading what you have written, you are being led astray.
God I am not, but in your case, might as well be.

I have erected no strawman argument, I have reduced Johnson's comments to barebones brevity, and that is what you see.

You see Johnson claiming that Obama is not only aligned with rap music (do i need to explain how offbase this distraction is?) but that Clinton is the only hope for the democratic party, in that Obama will allow terrorism.

Why? Because Mccain has a better chance of beating Clinton, as Bush did beating Kerry, than he does of beating Obama.

A (republican) wolf in (democratic) sheep's clothing.

Take notice. See the fear message coming from the elite (forget party, party is used only to distract the general population from the real elite) and recognize it. It demonstrates that not only is Obama electable, the elite fear his electability enough to attempt to install Clinton as the opposition.

Even Mrs. Clinton, once made aware that she can only hope to beat Obama by being installed by the elite, my very well choose to bow out and join Obama as he attempts to defeat the elite.
I know Mrs. Clinton. She does not want to win in that manner. When she sees that is what is happening, you will see her withdraw and support the Obama/Kerry ticket fully.
End of Message.

Posted another message just prior to noquarterusa.net becoming a page not found website.
Curious to see what becomes of that...perhaps it was too close to the truth.

Sage advice to be taken...and given

2008-03-19T00:36:00.004-05:00

This is mostly a "who am I" and "how does that relate to social media" post...

But before I begin in earnest, I'd like you to consider what you know about humans...mentally make a short list of commonalities, especially those that are the dearest to you, for example, breathing air, having the right to your own opinion and the ability to make choices for yourself in such a way as to enjoy the pursuit of happiness, etcetera.

Human beings are not dissimilar entities. We share more commonality than we do opposition. Keep this in mind as the worldwide population continues to expand. We must recognize, understand and value the differences and likenesses of each human. Each human, not each set of humans, but each and every single living human being.

Furthermore, most of you reading will already have an understanding of scientific experimentation and statistical data dissemination. Think about how trials and experiments are conducted. Pay particular attention to the scale of experimentation. In each instance, for any trial or experiment, sets (and often subsets) are selected. Randomization is typically preferred, but regardless, assumptions and findings are based on a scaled-down population that is, hopefully, representative of a larger group.

The users of social media are the randomized population selected to participate in learning how to function in an evolutionary environment where the ultimate outcome is to determine a course of action that allows for optimized survival. More on that at a later date...back to the "who am I..." I had promised.

I am Jesse Loop.
I'm an author, and will continue to be as long as I am able to write. I have multiple examples of my writing work online, in the form of blog posts, and comments on others' blogs. I tend to write mostly regarding issues humans face, politics, race, religion and other items of interest stemming from the advancement and evolution of life on planet Earth. Further, I write children's literature, poetry, lyrics and science fiction, but mostly those categories are for my own enjoyment, and not public consumption.

Unlike my editing and writing examples, much of my graphic design work, which I am quite proficient at, including layout with Quark, Publisher and Pagemaker, and creation with Illustrator, photoshop, and going way back, good old MSpaint, is not available online, but I do have hard copies. I can use either a mac or pc just as easily, but I have no experience with linux or ubuntu.

I can be found using twitter, often issuing sometimes controversial statements designed to encourage people to think for themselves. My tactics likely come across differently to different people. I even claim my tweets diverge from normal from time to time. My sense of literary genius comes from literature itself, a love of science and the advancement of the human condition, our collective environment and ever-evolving societal structure.

My background in both journalism and anthropology are useful to me as I have a distinct quest for knowledge regarding human behaviour, as well as the ability to document my findings. I have remarked, lightheartedly, that I have a Master’s degree in the discipline of thought process sciences. While the title is self-accredited, the experiences that have provided this education are many, diverse, and unique. I have a wide range of experience to draw upon, and attempt to use this knowledge for the benefit of other humans. However, I try not to take myself too seriously. I prefer to remain professional and purposeful even in the course of daily life.

I use two accounts on twitter, but primarily @jesatiu, as I have found that for my purposes, which are to demonstrate the ability to communicate logic and reason in demonstrably healthy and reasonably consistent manner, being myself is paramount. The other is a more personal account used mostly for communication with some of the more influential new media members of twitter. That one is simply @jesseloop.

I have been asked recently to attend NECC and to become involved with Quest Atlantis, and have been referred to Sasha Barab by two different mutual contacts. Apparently my twitter stream gives the impression that I am a knowledgeable and intellectual individual with the capacity to educate. Of course, that’s mostly by design. I do what I can.

If i make a direct and rigid claim or issue a directive I am often correct. In order to achieve this as often as possible I try to refrain from making claims and issuing directives based on feeling or assumption, but instead, choosing to make rigid claims only when I feel certain that fact is on my side. However, more times than not, I simply offer suggestion, and allow the receiver to judge for themselves whether my position carries merit or not. This approach allows me to remain humble as a humble person is rarely humiliated. I also try to look for situations where I am wrong, and admit my mistakes. This approach allows me to better myself as an individual.

I use the power of communication in order to facilitate my ultimate objective, which is to leave the world knowing I have contributed to humanity in such a way as to provide myself with a clear conscience. I firmly believe that God, or any other similarly Omnipotent or Almighty presence, will not judge me any more than I will judge myself.

My slogan, on that issue, is: “you’re going to pay for your own ride…” It’s very similar to the creed of most religions, “Do unto others as you’d have done unto you…”

While the purpose of this post is to educate you, as a part of the social media experiment, I feel as though my use of social media should be primarily relevant to education, in both directions, from me to others, and from others to me. I hope to be an educator at nearly every available opportunity. I also attempt to learn as much from my own writing as I can hope to convey to others, a trick learned from Dr. Isaac Asimov.

By the end of your research regarding me, and my online presence (see @techjen and @geekmommy blogs for reference to difference between “me,” and, “my online presence…”) you will know much more about me than I will know about you, but, in the vein of the parenthetically mentioned blogs, assumptions can be misleading. I can tell you, for example, that just this week alone, using the case of @jetblue as reference (business and education aren’t that far apart when it comes to social media), that the role of social networking in education is to eliminate, or at least to shed a positive light on, assumptions, as I’ve just done for you, regarding me.

CMC (computer mediated communication), as you are most likely aware of, especially given that I’ll assume you have knowledge of the Journal of CMC, based here at IU, presents trials and tribulations, and new media opportunities, representative of the need to further understand social networking, and, ultimately, societal structure, given that my claim that “humans are intrinsically inclined to participate in social behaviour,” is correct.

@jpostman; @chrisbrogan: Joel and Chris, both in the list of influential new media personalities, discuss the vital need for individuals, organizations and businesses to remain ethical and transparent in the growing new media environment. This issue is one that we see unfolding even as I type. The GM blogs are often referenced, as is the Dell presence, when discussing the proper way to use the blogosphere and new media to promote a healthy and morally sound link between a corporation and its customer base (both existing and prospective). Again, I believe education and business share a common link in the new media environment, and ultimately, that new media will provide solutions for the problems facing the larger human network.

Educating in this environment is a challenging, rewarding and worthwhile undertaking in that the contributions of education assist in the development of knowledge. Knowledge which is useful in understanding the evolutionary human process, and even questions like, “how do you use twitter?”

I’m hoping to impart to you my affinity for social networking and for CMC as it pertains to the societal structure, but, also, more importantly, and on task to this communication, that I understand social networking and its potential to serve education. Further, my communication, sales and management experience combine with my professionalism to qualify me as an educator, elder and participant of ongoing learning as I assume the roles I take in social media and in life.

Typically, in life, and in business, I take the stance that I can assist you, if you choose to allow me to do so.

Regards,
~!jesatiu (jesse loop)

total annihilation of normalcy

2008-02-28T20:08:00.001-06:00

Regarding the comment left on my post, “It’s not right to put words into another’s campaign…”

I appreciate Dan's comments, and I can see, again, McCain's strengths, as listed, in theory, would carry much merit.

Again, what I take issue with in this sentiment (that of the author of the article from townhall.com), and what I think is missed in this discussion, is that the "change" Obama represents is, again, not change from some deviant "soul" of the American citizenry, etcetera, but change from politics as usual, especially in the case of deep ties to global corporate wants, as in the case of the Halliburton example. Which is to leave out "big oil" in general, which, is, probably a mistake on my part.

I'm not singling out Halliburton. Just one example in a long list.

I'm in fact, not saying that the corporation Halliburton is an evil entity, or does not have its place in business (others make this case but I think that the pros and cons of this corporation are irrelevant to the theme of my argument here), but that having government leadership that is so implicitly connected to, and therefore apt to influence by, such huge corporate pressures and desires, is not good for the American soul, or the American people (the "little" people, if you will).

Taken a step farther, I feel like we need change from the son of a CIA director and former president. The political leadership in America has become too closely netted with the military, the corporate agenda, the good-ole-boys…the status quo, the upper echelon…we need to have a democratically run anti-corporate funded political leadership or else we will rot from the head down.

Let’s say, for example, Obama doesn’t have enough…the word experience is used a lot, to imply connections, right? Ok, so Obama isn’t connected enough, let’s pretend. Let’s put aside all of his accomplishments and his background in Law and government, and pretend he’s not connected enough to have “experience.” So what happens.

Well, let’s assume something goes way wrong…let’s assume a hurricane takes out Washington D.C. Ok, bad times. Then, we get hit with a huge earthquake on the San Andreas and millions are dead and millions more are homeless, and then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, some guy the CIA trained, wronged, and left to go insane on us, takes a big stab at Chicago or Miami, or Atlanta, and knocks down a few buildings, killing tens of thousands more…ok, so…North, South, East and West, all within a few months of each other, hit with total annihilation of normalcy. So what happens? Obama gets help.

We all chip in and we help him, as our leader, by elect, and we deal and we make things as good as they can be. And guess what, it doesn’t have to be catastrophe, either. This same scenario works for a collapse in the stock market, a small-time terrorist attack, a huge spike in oil and economic mayhem. He gets help. We, the people, and all those congresspeople, mayors, governors, police, emt, 911 operators, factory workers, tow truck drivers, waitstaff, etcetera…

“We All” chip in, we bond together, doing our roles, just like in the case of 9/11, we make it right. We do it. Obama’s experience means little on these terms. I don’t have the experience to make a sandwich, when I’m four years old, but with the right guidance and help, I get it done. The same applies to Obama. I think it might be good for this country to have someone who doesn’t have enough experience. Make us all act a bit more responsibly for our roles, to make this country right, again. Bring on a reason for corporations to step up to the plate for the average American. Bring on a reason for hope and change. Bring it on, baby…let’s force ourselves to show what we are made of, and not that we need to rely on those who are tied-in, connected and “experienced,” to lead us around like the sheep we’ve become.

I think Obama supporters are saying it's time to give someone a chance who is more (I realize not entirely, but more so) disconnected. Time for change, not from a way of life or the greatness of the nation, or from a mythical deviant “soul,” but from good-ole-boy, insider mentality...McCain is simply too close to the same-old-same-old thing that is not working for the underserved in America.

Now, I'm not extremely political by nature. I only know just enough about republicans and democrats to be, typically, repulsed by them both. I also don't identify with libertarians, or independents, as I don't know, honestly, what it means to fit into those boxes.

Further, I don't fit into a religious box, either. I simply cannot be categorized in those terms.
So, therefore, all I know is that I can pick a candidate who, in my opinion, will serve the greatest good of the greatest number of people. In those terms, Obama is it, it seems like.

And again, in my opinion, four years of Obama is worth a try at that goal, and seems more likely to achieve that goal (the greatest good to the most needy), than four years of McCain.
I can't see, really, either way, total collapse in our system or our world, so, with that in mind, I personally feel Obama is, despite being perhaps a longshot, the best horse for the money.

Hope this clears things up, and I desperately appreciate the discourse-there is no way to reach a correct decision without discourse. You can quote me on that. Without discourse, without discussion, it's like searching a cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there (H.S. Thompson on theology).

Smart people making smart arguments will show, eventually, less smart people which one is the smartest argument. This is paramount to the system of democracy. Who was it that said, “without discourse there is no democracy,” well, I’m not sure, but I know he was of enough importance that a google search would probably tell you fairly quickly.

No matter what, just remember to vote your conscious. Not to vote with whoever is the most likely to have the best connections (experience) to the status quo.

It's not right to put words in someone else's campaign...

//unless they are mine//

Dear Staffers:

BE AWARE OF THIS!!!!!

http://danmosqueda.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-beat-obama.html

And feel free to use my response as your own in defense of this tragically misaligned sentiment regarding what the Senator stands for.
This article would imply the Senator thinks our nation is one of bad character, a nation whose "soul" needs changing.
I hardly doubt that is the case.
Isn't it more to the point that the current politics need changing, simply that the current roles of government need changing, simply that the current process of government, the current process of education, the current process of spending money, the current process of engineering, the current process of foreign relations, needs changing. NOT THAT THE PEOPLE of this GREAT LAND need changing.
Am i right?
thanks.
jesse

Dan's words:

Here's a posting from www.townhall.com that discusses how Barack Obama can be beat. The central message is Obama's message of change and hope is, in reality, a message of pessimism in that the "soul" of America needs changing. Let me know what you think:

My response:
i think i'm running this article straight to the obama staffers so the preparations for the attack can begin. thanks.
you know...if it wasn't for obama, i'd [probably] be supporting mccain, so that said, we're not so far apart are we?

there is something i think is desperately wrong with the article though, and that is that Obama is not saying there is anything wrong with the country or its citizenry. He's not saying we have a poorly defined will, a malignant national "soul," or anything along those lines.
What he clearly stands for, what he brings us in his message of "change," is that he's not the Bush administration.
He's not Halliburton.
He's not the son of George Bush.
He's not controlled by Dick Cheney.
He's not...this current administration. He's change from this current administration.
Mccain won't beat Obama. He'll waste valuable money that he could spend giving to underserved.
America "allows" a black man to run for president and a black woman to go to school because we wanted change in the past. We still want it, it's what we need to REMAIN the best place on earth.

A powerful movement toward serving the underserved

Hunee Is divorce and annulment somehow considered emotional violence to a child? http://huneesoinsane.blogsp... about 16 hours ago reply

Response from twitter question regarding detailed notions of the psychological ramifications of divorce and annulment.

There’s some level of "trauma" for kids in separated homes. but stability is complex and can't be determined unless the whole picture is considered.

The human process in general is very complex, psychological functioning and health come from stability and love, and the stability of love.

The nurturing of any individual, despite having differing effects at different age levels, is best achieved through a system of support and complementation.

Consider complementation as a form of the verb “complement,” meaning "mutually supplying each other's lack."

Other definitions exist, meaning to provide, 1, a: an expression of esteem, respect, affection, or admiration; especially : an admiring remark.

b: formal and respectful recognition : honor

2, plural : best wishes : regards

If these definitions are applied to the development of a child by its influencing peer and “support” group, and the natural process of nurture, we can see that not only the health of the child(ren) is affected, but that the nurturing process also offers a reciprocal role to the health and well-being of the adult(s) involved. To complement one another in health and wellness; in other words.

When we utilize this manner of approach, the mutual benefit to the child and the parent creates the ideal scenario of psychologically healthy individuals stemming from psychologically healthy individual interaction. This interaction is optimal, and actions, such as divorce, create influential emotional (and physical in some cases) reactions which can, and will, to varied extents, inflict harm.

Reaching from harm to violence is, again, a scaled situation (a spectrum) where the levels of the entire process are complicated, or has complications, due to the nature of its very complexity.

The judgment factor involved in determinations of levels of harm or, conversely, levels of…we’ll use “health,” (to represent the opposite of harm) is paramount, and should be made by a networked support group of professionally trained mentors and advocates.

This network of mentors and advocates would be, ideally, in a perfect world, provided as an intrinsic social service.

Unfortunately, this idyllic and perfect world cannot exist, as it would, as outlined above, require intrusions into the rights of privacy. Any world, having intrusion into the rights of privacy, will not meet the requisite requirements of a “perfect world.”

Finally, let us not, however, be dissuaded by the fact that divorce, for example, is going to have adverse effects on our overarching definition of “health.”

There is a silver lining.

This silver lining comes from the fact that while a bad thing won’t be made a good thing, simply by the good that comes of a bad thing, good will come of all things, even bad things.

It may be difficult to recognize, but in some respects, in some regards, and in some kind of way, whether apparent or not on the surface and in the moment, it will exist.

In sum, “that which does not kill us, only makes us stronger.”

We have recently been reviewing journalistic reflections published in the mainstream mass media that involved violence towards children, or perpetrated by children or young adults.

These reflections, if you will, underscore the need for social justice, equality and a powerful movement toward serving the underserved.

Folks...i appreciate your donations...I really do...I have donated five times this week. I have only donated 2.00 each time, but guess what? That's the beauty in mass marketing that is the internet...you do not have to feel bad for donating 1.00, 2.00 or 3.00 dollars...any small amount is sufficient and WILL ADD UP!!! Please, Keep It Up! and thanks...

ok and here is the link for the "too many twinkies" post...

so follow it and read it-it's a decent article, really...as are all my articles (shameless self plug in the hopes of sponsoring discourse)...
and this here post is a way for you to comment on the "twinkies defense" article...

Also, share your stories of the twinkies defense as you remember it...i'm foggy on how it really goes...but I know it does exist...I mean, I remember the story the press gave, but I'm hoping someone out there knows some "new" and juicy tidbits about it and will share them, and share how they relate to the Vagina Monologue thing in April in the Big Easy, and the mission to deconstruct race, religion and gender as mythological creations based in the nutured sociology of our times...

Decided NO to autostarting media on blog. 4-0 even with the one that isn't anythin' to do with the subject of the query, and falsifying data, but not to a point that it was still uninimity...(aka unanimously)...

Asimovian template secured...process near completion...

We have allowed science to be used for “bad,” Asimov traced this first “bad” use back to 1915, with the introduction of chemical poisoning warfare. However, it could be an even worse misuse of science to continue to allow it to be “not used” to debunk sour and segregating conspiracies derived from collective social knowledge, or at least the collective social knowledge that sours and segregates, and subjugates, unjustly, based on such factors as race, gender, religion and political process.
Purposeful introduction to inspiration. The knowledge of writers as a sub-group, facing categorization-al tendency. A group often attributed with attributes of similarity. Writer’s block; alcoholism; depression. Etc.
Many parallels into the world of media and the “dumbing down” of the American general public can be drawn that might relate Asimov to the main character of Good night, and Good Luck. Edward R. Murrow surely felt and voiced similar concerns in his own work. It was a time period both men shared. They shared the view that humanity closed its collective eye to the destructive force of McCarthy-ist patriotism. They were aware of the general state of propagandized education and entertainment which was a literal part of the era. The saw truth between the lines of misinformation, and misinformation for what it was.

"God," or something like It...

2008-02-05T00:00:00.000-06:00

an email recap: the Crème de la Crème of Ernie Pyle Hall...

It would be a pleasure...if my week straightens out any, God, or something like It (watch out! tangent coming!), I, again like Asimov, am more realist than atheist, and am not really atheist, at least I don't believe I am...

Yet, I've such reservation regarding direct association with the all-to-common blasphemy spewed by scores of contemporary "Christians," that I prefer to dissassociate with even the term "God," these days, much less the culture of right wing fascism "He" seems to have spawned lately...why zealots have to ruin something as spectacular and notable as Divinity I'll never understand...it's a damn good thing I'm a nondenominational evangelist or else, because if I had to choose one religion over the other these days it would be very hard to convince myself that Christianity is viable in light of what I've seen from too many "Christians" lately...and those that do not feel they belong in my category, but believe themselves to be Christian, ought step up and do something about the rest of "their" people out there who are likely to damn the entire world if left unchecked.

I recently said, in a discussion of foreign policy, that, at this point, I'm not so worried about the fascists overseas (Iran, notably) that might build Nuclear weapons, as I am with the fascists that already have Nuclear weapons (the USA under a right wing zealot, notably). Listen, I'm fine with a strong military and protection from invasion and the use of force if absolutely necessary-I'm just not fine with the measure of absolute currently in use, and I can hardly imagine the absolute sense that would justify the global damage to my home, and my children's home, that is a Nuclear blast, not to mention the ethical and moral ramifications of the...fallout...of the use of Nuclear weaponry.

Anyway, "God" willing I'd love a chance to partake of coffee or tea and chat-always a pleasure to converse and discourse with a peer. If time does permit I'll email again...I've always regarded you with great admiration as you have shown an honorable sense of commitment to education...and journalism...By the way, what ever became of the striking "other AI" from Evans' class...she was remarkable on many levels...haven't seen her around lately...just musing, it's of little consequence, really...but yes, her company was always a pleasure...and why am I so bad with names? Sheez.

And I don't mean to barrage you with banter (careful! soapbox warning!), but I do want to quickly recommend to you Donald T. Philips' book, Martin Luther King, Jr. On Leadership for relevance in association with the Katrina aftermath, today's "challenging times," and Dr. Mackie-an intersection exists to the political and social challenges facing the country in this time, a time of a most important election...vote, and vote Obama, being the final thought. You see, Katrina underscores the need for quality leadership like hardly anything else I can think of...unless of course, the economy, foreign policy and human rights come into the mix...geez...it's grotesque what this administration has done to our world...sigh.

Anyway, as always, bestest wishes in these trying times my friend,
~!jesatiu

Fantastic day/best of...

"Intriguing. I’ve watched several of Obama’s speeches on YouTube - the incredible part is how popular his videos are. Most political videos don’t get many views, but Obama’s videos - wow."
From twitter stream of a twitter user whose page I cannot access now...attribution incomplete but that's the gist of it...

The rest of this is reposted from various sources, in addition to my writing...it is recommended to visit the link, read the post, then click on the "back" button of your browser to read the response. This way you will get to read two authors for the price of one...and become more informed and smarter, and hopefully, inspired.

I read a blog on myspace-and then responded to it:

You know, I almost deleted you from my friend list the other day. I was nearly ready to completely stop using myspace because it had caused me to feel like i was involved in drama. Strangely enough, I have myspace to keep in touch with my family (CA and AZ) which, really, since i'm bad about writing to them, all it does is make me feel closer to them, so therefore, because I want to feel closer to them, I didn't take down my site. But those are the people I actually communicate with less than anyone else. Seems like I end up more with the random people I know from...well...however it is we connect with random people.
I did totally change the site and the way I use it, though. But, the internet is a part of my life and I, like you, blog about life, although, I sometimes use real life to write fiction, and the other way around, too. But mostly, most of the things I write, like this note, are just part of the life I have going right now.
I'm really glad now that I have read your blog and think I'm starting to see more of how you present yourself that I did not delete you (wasn't just I was going to delete, either, I'm not aiming this at you in that way, I was about to clear off a bunch of people that I felt I wouldn't have much in common with...just goes to show you don't know what you have in common with someone until you really take the time to try to understand them).
Suddenly you post this blog and I realize how much we have in common. I noticed that you are very passionate about life. Also that you are a really good writer, you use words well even when you're writing something, so to speak, right off the top of your head. These things are written way different than something like a business letter or something you write and review and write and review, etc...it's more train of thought, which is the writing I like the best-my own as well as that of others. Also, also, you are taking a look at yourself and thinking deeply about who you are and who you want to be. This is something very special in my book. Lately I've been looking deeply at myself and what it is I really want to be, how I want to act, and who I want to associate with. I've been trying to focus on the things that will help me, when I look back, you know...don't stop doing that. Personal growth adds to the health of the spirit; the healthier the spirit the better the condition of the mind, and the better the condition of the mind, the better the quality of the mortal life...it gets deep...but anyway.
Another "also" is that today I was just thinking of - how could she. You see, my daughter's mother has, it seems like to me, completely forgotten the bond a parent should have with their child. The whole story is rather long-but I'll share it with you sometime...perhaps.
The short part is, once we split up I had to track my kid down and go and get her from a relative of her mother's where she'd been basically abandoned. I had wanted custody, but she won.
I couldn't do it-couldn't go to the court and tell them she was not going to be a good parent because of her addictions...I could have, I could have "won" in court-but I would have had to publicly shown my child's mother as a monster, and I wasn't down with what that might make my child think of me in the long run...I knew from day one she was mine, and she changed my life, and I knew I was going to be there for her whether she was dragged back to LA or not...I didn't need to win, I tried to win in court just on the fact that I would be a better caregiver, but being male, that's not enough. To win in court, as a man, you have to show the woman is totally worthless-imagine how that would go over with your kid when/if they ever found out? It's was a really tough choice at the time.
So she won, then took our kid 2400 miles away and left her for three months with an aunt. I got a call, saying, hey, can you come get your kid...I was there the next day. A year went by, no word from "mom" so I held a quiet hearing, and without any fanfare, finally got full custody. So it worked out, she's lived with me ever since, and since then, I've never received one dime of child support. My kid's mom has hardly ever sent a letter, or card, or anything...there've been a few things...but nothing substantial and nothing regular. The last email was months ago, even. Really, in the last 12 years, she's only had very minimal contact with her mom. I think it's sad. But it is the way it is, and my daughter (anyone we both know will back me up on this) is a superb person.
You can do this, even if he cuts out totally, it happens, it is sad, it is a shame, it is totally irresponsible, but even if it happens, you'll be ok and your kids will be ok. You are all they need to become the independant, smart, bold, strong and productive people you want them to be. Trust me, your writing shows I'm right, as long as you remain an optimist.
Sorry to go on and on like this on your blog, but I am not really all that private of a person because I believe "our" (collectively) stories will help others-I like seeing you share your life so that I can share mine so that others who are out there who need to read it can, when they need to.
See, this is how I think life works. Things happen to us as we need them to happen to us.
Some people say I'm just an optimist, but I think it's deeper than that. First, if a person isn't an optimist then they might as well just give up, and second, life is a complex thing that has purpose that is beyond what humans can comprehend-all we can do is try to understand what we can understand...some call it God, you know, but there are so many people out there using God for so many wrong things that it makes it hard for me to publicly attach to their concepts of "God." In other words, I'll call it IT, you know, but not God, because if I call it God, someone will see me as though I'm going along with the same people who show huge signs of dead, bloody fetuses to kids in passing cars, or punish young adults with guilt and scripture (misused) to drive a message of fear and shame, and I won't be a part of that-at all, so those people have ruined the word "God," but they have not, nor can they ever, ruin the spirit of a great spirit. Do you know what the word "spirit" means, really? Think about it...there is no way to really describe what a "spirit" is-because it is, by definition, everything we can't understand, basically. It's "all that," so to speak, that we can't know while we are mortal spirits-we can try to learn it, and try to see it, and we can get an idea of what it is, but to really KNOW spirit, not going to happen (although reading up on really smart folks who can teach us about it is fascinating, I think...another story, there though).
We can understand the greatness of it, we can comprehend how amazing something we can't really understand is, but we can't really know what it is. I'm beginning to repeat myself but I think to really explain something this complicated takes a bit of repeating. To say it correctly, and in a way that is clear, when talking about something that can't be explained...well, it's hard to do as you'd imagine it would be.
So listen, if you start getting down and needing a little bit of extra support you can call me, or call one of your friends, or pray, or meditate, or see a therapist, or...whatever...
OR- you can just reread what someone I met randomly once wrote, "though it won't be easy and there will be times I want to give up, we will succeed!" That should do it.
Keep your chin up, kid.

jesse Your comment is awaiting moderation. January 31st, 2008 6:56 pm

Yes! I’m so glad to see you promoting my personal soapbox of the day. Thank you.You see, I can’t understand why we, as citizens, want and expect our elected officials to work together while they are in office, yet we aren’t willing to do the same, or so it seems…Whenever something important happens in D.C. and you hear, “both sides of the isle are on board here, etc” blah blah, but you know what I’m talking about….we are happy and we say, “see how great it is when we work together…”Then, here comes an election and WTH happens? Bickering, fighting, spewing…ok, I mean, I understand the two party system, this is going to be inherent, but still…as citizens, doesn’t it seem like we can, especially in the age of web 2.0, figure out a common ground and say, hey, here we are, let’s work together to get the best person in office, then work together to make the world the best world it can be…equality and justice are the themes, right?

Perhaps I’m just too optimistic and too naive, but I think that what I am, rather, is visionary and that what we need is to get the message out that it will be ok to work together and basically, take it four years at a time….Sure…it is a message of hope, sure it’s just me going off about what I see as best for the people of the world, but isn’t that also what the world wants? Who wants a world full of death and war and crime and drug abuse Inot use, abuse, two separate issues) and poverty and all of that…? Huh? who are they? Are they going to speak up? NO.

Who are the extremists? Who are those that would prefer “theirs” only, as opposed to ours? The most likely candidates are facist zealots…and where do they tend to lie, demographically? Please those of you in the middle, and on the middle right…give four years a chance. Do not let the chance that a zealot or facist will lead this “free world” for another four years…eight years has been long enough…contact me via my blog or twitter.com/jesatiu for questions, comments and discourse.

I was about 20 and living in LA...

2008-01-30T23:45:00.000-06:00

this story is just written off-hand so as to kinda honor an online friend of mine who has been being very patient with someone and just waiting it out, seeing how it goes...you know, O how she just digs this dude and gets all "school-girl" when she knows she's gonna get to hang with him and stuff, like, basically she's uh...proving me wrong on the myspace.com/jesatiu blog where I state nobody has any passion on myspace anymore...she does...she's living with passion and you all know how I feel about that (read Fire and Passion blog on myspace.com/jesatiu re: Calvin Mackie if you need to brush up on it)...we need to be getting serious about what our passions are and what will happen if we continue having the wrong kind of passion and being passionate about the wrong things...but that's my soapbox and this is just a story...so read on...

I'd been there working and doing good for a few years, about three...and i worked with McCaffrey construction, who had projects all around the east side of palmdale...so as it turns out, the basic place to eat lunch on the east side of palmdale (visualize raw desert everywhere except where we were building houses) turned out to be "carol's cafe." (The original one, the second shop in Littlerock opened right after I met Wanda.)
Well, this waitress Wanda worked there. And she was a flirt and good at her job and didn't talk a lot about herself but it was known that she was with this guy and all, for a long time they'd been together, his name was Bobby, he'd later come after me with a knife and a crow bar once in her driveway but that was way on down the road from the days of Carol's Cafe on the corner of Hwy 138 and, I think it's Avenue "P."
So long story short I mean, Wanda and I were about the same age and she was attractive so naturally we did kinda hit it off, and of course, being young and single, especially until I heard about Bobby, I was pretty much hitting on her daily, whenever we'd go for lunch at Carol's.
Well time went by and Carol opened up the shop in Littlerock, which is where I lived at the time...and Carol had three very attractive daughters, who all lived in Littlerock and worked at least now and then at the Cafe...basically I'm just saying, it had a culture, you know...lot of regulars (many Lockheed and Edwards AFB employees live in Littlerock, but it's very small and you know...just a little town)...so anyway, I started hangin' out there a lot, worked on the side on Carol's rental properties and there were several other regulars, kinda like a combo between a ragged-friends/Cheers type of deal...
So Littlerock is full of many regulars, or perhaps irregulars, and many of them had abuse problems from an over-abundance of meth and rock coke, but we managed everyone fairly well...
My one friend who had kids my age who worked with my mom at the liquor store lived right across the street from Carol's too...and it's been in a couple movies...I don't remember the titles, back then movie sets in our area didn't really surprise us much...I just remember a few times when we'd get our coffee or iced tea moved for a shoot...
So after several years of hitting on Wanda to the point of where I really honestly thought it was just a game that we played (a year or so of this time I was dating Lissette Pelley from England, a nanny living on a work permit, whew, those trips to immigration in LA are something, let me tell you, sorry, that's another story)...
Where was I...yeah...so this one night, I really remember it too, I am going on about taking Wanda to a movie, I mean, hell, I didn't even know if she was actually listening, I was pretty much talking to the guy on at the counter next to me, really...it was so much of a joke by then, that everyone knew it was just our "thing" that we did...like...I don't know...just teasing between old friends...
So yeah...I say, ok...something like, "ok, Wanda and I will be back in a couple hours, we're going to see...so and so movie...and uh...hey Gerry, you're in charge while we're out, we'll be back to close up," haha, you know...
And i walk outside, getting something from my truck or about to leave or something...and here comes Wanda out the door behind me..."ok, let's go."
Huh? yeah...I was like..."what?"
She was saying...you know...Bobby's an ass (which he really was, everyone knew he treated her like total crap) and so ok...like...I finally won something I didn't even know I was playing for...
So over the next few weeks we ran around together and stuff...and had a fairly good time, but she couldn't quite let him go (it go, really) and we were in her house that one time when he came by all strung out and it almost got pretty severe but we both lunged at each other a few times and he realized despite his knife and crowbar (which he took out of her Toyota, a black Celica, but was mine) and was like...you know how crazy people get-she's mine and I found your crowbar and I'm keeping it and blah blah...so I was like, she's not your dog and she'll do what she wants and your an asshole, etc...and left before I got killed, basically...
Well...I guess the point is, oh, and yeah, Wanda, last time I was in LA, was seeing a guy with a kid and they were totally cool and looking like a great couple, so good for her...wonder where she is now...huh, that's a first in a long time...wow.
And Lissette, too...once she went back to England it was like she fell off the earth...wild girl there...man...but good person.
So I guess that moral is...again...well...patience? perhaps...not giving up? kinda...but not really...um...just...you never can tell what life will send your way whenever it wants to...and was it, "worth waiting for?" Well, sure...I mean, look at the story it makes...Wasn't what I thought it would be, of course, but it was and is a story of a girl, who did cry a river of tears, but also figured out a move for herself that worked in the long run...(two song references there...).
So that's the story of Wanda-circa my days as a Dj and carpenter in LA county.

In response to the fabulously informative new media found at:

http://www.standardsforlife.com/even-christians-have-abortions/

I have a blog entry written for today: (Also posted as a comment on the aforementioned blog.)

Therein lies a tremendous amount of energy and misplaced hatred, irrational behaviours, and utter indecency...wherein? In the affairs of the fate of humans. No person, man or woman, can be in the interior of any other singular and sole human. To pretend to be able to "put one in another's shoes" is merely too present oneself as a foolish antagonist.
However, to find compassion and likeness and comparative spirit with other humans is to reveal the true nature of the intention of the human object, as well as the nature of the human objective.
How ridiculous our differences of cultural manifesto will seem one day when, in years from now, others realize just how intricately attached to our nurturing we were. How pale and narrow. The thoughts and rituals we spread and bestowed from one to one another, so childishly simple and lame. Like the donkey that only knows of its death, and only living for death, it gives nothing to its kind, and in return, nothing to it is reciprocated. It fears the loss of its existence so much so that it is its own demise.
Be forewarned, fellows, when we disallow the natural order of person, taking it from one person so as to place it within the boundaries of another person, we settle into a realm of misconstrued waste. When, in retrospect, we see ourselves as we are truly meant to be seen, we realize just how important it is for us to refrain from such behaviour, as to misconstrue and waste the spiritual well being and destiny of another. Meddle, meddle, and toil will ye, unto troubles of certain.
Spare free of spirit and tide thy neighboring brother and sister and being with comforts of hope, and cherish thee, and plentiful will ye find the health of thy own spirit.
Live life awake, aware and alive- and remember, simplicity of three-live life free.

Natalie, you are an angel among us, for gifted with the scribe of truth and the decency of the unknown, you've seen the truth behind the...not lies (at least not wholly), but, rather, untruths.
You have begun the journey that breaks down centuries old demise, and opens new horizons for the advancement of the species. With the wisdom of knowledge unknown, you've set forward a quest. There is no way to reach this end, for it isn't a place or a time, it is an occurrence. There is, though, an expressly viable way to be this end…or rather, this…occurrence.
Graciously, your avant-guard is that you are avant-guard...a guardian in faith of the species. An artist in the art of proper and purposeful survival, whose purpose and dedication is ”active in the invention and application of new techniques in a given field...”
The techniques are as you’ve set them out above, and the field is the nature of human progression. All too often we think of ourselves as near an end. These thoughts are formed from a stem, derived from our mortality, in as much as we perceive our own life. This thought pattern is one which is not altogether cohesive with our relation to actuality.
You see, in reality, we exist before and after our birth and life, in whatever forms we care to take, of which I can specify but will not, for brevity’s sake. And in such terms, we find, with the knowledge hereto discussed, that we find very many of our fellow spirits choosing to meddle into the affairs of the perception of life which is solely a perception of life that they have been predeterminately disposed to forming by their own cultural nurturing. Shortly, we can say, it is not a life that is lost, in reality, as that life is a life regardless of our perceiving that life as being similar to our own sense of what a life is.
Now, this is all very well discussed and such, as to where if taken statement by statement and claim by claim, it would suffice to uphold its own merit. What it does, in those terms, then, is to answer the question of how a person who is a certain “kind” of person can decide to act as though that person were a person of a different “kind.” When really, that person is the same as the others, once they realize how similar they are to the aforementioned person (you, in this example). What we can also accomplish, by seeing your example followed, and by utilizing the virtues of compassion and hope, as opposed to those non-virtuous actions, such as depicting embryonic destruction, using guilt, shame and fear as icons of a fight that includes nastiness and ridicule as a tortuous form of motivation to conform to the meddling of another two spirits, is love. Thank you for the forum. Readers: please, donate or contact me for ways to help.

I can repost someone’s blog that will completely relate two of my most recent posts together. How cool…and connected…
I will redirect you to both comments I’ve authored lately which combine with my twitter stream (which are, admittedly, loaded with support as I’ve just openly adopted Obama as my choice for president) to be my entry for Jan. 24 and Jan 25, 2008.
I’d already written in response to the payment for services and new media on a businessweek site, and also in regard to the direction a social network site needs to consider.
Both of these topics are introduced in the following excerpt: Please read this excerpt and then visit both links to review my comments, and please, donate before you go, thank you. ---------------------------

From: http://eloquation.com/

Twitter doesn’t charge individuals for sending or receiving messages. In order to provide global messaging, Twitter negotiates with mobile operators and their representatives around the world for reasonable SMS fees. We do this so that folks can use Twitter in as many countries as possible. Until agreements are in place, however, we need to put in limits on the number of messages received per person. -twitter staff
The problem with that message is the first sentence: if Twitter doesn’t charge individuals for sending or receiving messages, maybe it should. I’d recommend keeping the 250 message limit for free users, and letting heavy SMS users pay a monthly fee for all the extra messages they will be sending and receiving over the month. Sounds simple to me.

I’d probably pay a bit extra for some uptime assurances as well — we all know Twitter has the reputation for being a bit finicky at times.

I will pay for what I use

The conclusion is simple: if I’m getting value out of a product or service, I’m more likely to support that same product or service financially. And I’m not the only one.

Again, I think what we see here is the trend to need to realize demonstrable desire and want, and attach a valid currency-so easy to discuss…please, comment…and please, if able, terraverse-writ for world needs your donations…we have our own desires and directions - and those of you who’ve donated, thank you immensely…----------------------

Perspective on web2.0 excitement...where does it belong?

I've been asking around and trying to keep perspective on the excitement around web2.0, yet replies are not coming in terribly quickly as of yet. Perhaps expanding my following and followers is of utmost importance. UPDATE: I did expand my following to include nearly 2k twitterers. I have had several follow back, to them: a collective "thanks, you."
There was a drawback to expanding my following in this manner, which was, basically, done with reckless abandon. The downside, as it turns out, is that I needed to make a separate twitter ID to use to update my family and close friends...the amount of uupdates alone on the @jesatiu account, as well as what some people say, just makes it necessary to have a "personal" as well as a "business" twitter account (rather, a research account-better term than business).

I realize to have the jesseloop.blogspot.com site down for this interim period isn't the most exciting part of my day, but i do think that in terms of a long-term project, where the mix of photojournalism and social connectivity arrive, there will be sunnier days ahead. UPDATE: blog is back up and publicly viewable-still no way to accept donations but I promise to get to that very soon...UPDATE update: PAYPAL functional! what this means is that you can now send me a couple dollars, even just one or two bucks each, or even thousands, if you are the kind of person able and willing to do so, and become a sponsor of my writing (again, it's not so much my writing I'm trying to push, but what I'd do with your donations).
I really look forward to comments and if possible, enough revenue to allow me to actually make this a decent blog-as for now there will be no charge for any of the content-it will all be publically viewable, it's just that now you can donate to this cause-because...
If you do donate-you can do so annonymously, of course, but, I would prefer if you did so publically and added comments regarding why you chose to fund terraverse-writ for the world. I'm very interested in your share of this adventure. If you donate non-annonymously I will provide you with a certificate that will act as a share in the revenue stream-if we can get it to the point where I have time and resources to go public. I know how to do it-mechanically, the SEC, Secretary of State, etc...I know the rules-and guidelines, I just need the financial ability to spend the time to do it...

My patience with bringing content, Controlled content, to individuals of the earth is warranted by the sheer need for connectivity and purpose.

When I begin to think it's not going to work, I must remember the motto:

I feel the from "between the ears and behind the eyes" (Thank you to Christine Taylor, fellow/friend/twitter-er at: http://twitter.com/mousewords.)

I would also like to thank Christine Taylor for putting up the headline quote from Plato. It is this sort of transitional knowledge that is the fodder jesseloop.blogspot.com's Controlled content lives on; life depends on it. The impression of impressionistic peoples, who make an impression. You know, of all the Controlled content writers, I think my writing is the worst. It is at best, the most unusual and, if you take the time to consider it, either fabulously inferior or superbly lame. I suppose it could be just the opposite, as well, but then, that woud be all backwards. Unless you turned it around...hehe...now, which way was up, again?

http://mousewords.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/night-of-stars/

In addition to having posted a wonderful snippet of inspirational, albeit trinitar-ilianly centric, sentiment on the fabulousness of the empire we humans have described as the universe. Her exquisite writing and choice words help to begin to capture the sensationalism of the night sky. http://mousewords.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/night-of-stars/ is a truly wonderful piece. Christine Taylor should be writing for terraverse@gmail.com. This is exactly the sort of Controlled content we want to offer.

The reason for Controlled content is not to keep it solitary and off the path of the common user, but instead to open the doors of mouth-to-mouth, or in today's age, web2.0-to-web2.0 user-to-user communication. I think of having a way for a donor to share their access with anyone that isn't able to donate but wants to read anyway. It will be a sponsorship solution...details still in my head but...it'll come.

Despite the differences we all have in our personal way of looking at things, in our understanding of our place in time and space, and in the way that we view the internal and the external, we must see the benefit to Controlled content.

It will allow us to not only find the worth and the value in what has many, many drawbacks, but it will allow us to share the worth and value with those who need it the most.

"We can shape this world, if you would only show us how...your life is now..." -Mellencamp.

I view and you view. The way we view is editorialized by the way we think. Great philosophy, education and human development are intrinsic to the editorialization of each human. The disparity among each human is like swimming across the pond for coffee. You just wouldn't do it, if you could do it another way, would you?

Demonstrative of how one person can involve the right person? We'll challenge the associations of association in further posts. I do expect resistance, however, I will not let it push against me, I am undaunted in my approach to doing things my way. However, whenever I deem it necessary, I'd really like to find few good guymens (add post on version of Gaimen's last name, attrib to night with Chaundra (sp?) and Antoiné).

I can see confusion regarding the outcome of this occurance. Ok, that's not a lot unlike the rest of life, sure, however, in this case, a lot of life for the upper crust (including myself) could possibly be affected by the confusion.
It is the effect on ourselves we should concern ourselves with.

Both Vince and Tamar say so much in their posts. It would be silly to argue with them. That said, I'm a fan of silliness, but still just can't muster an argument. Alas, perhaps Bank of America will soon control both-what could go wrong? I actually figured out a way to get Bofa's VP to contact me, too...all I had to do was quit paying my e-bill. Reminds me, I need to write her back.

A year since this occurance will pass soon, and where do we stand today? I think I'll go reseach it, on google, of course.
After that, I think I'll write a book on my research and sell it, on ebay, of course. You can buy it, too...through... :) (Insert google chechout or ebay/paypal here, of course.) Controlled content.

Well, this concludes today's posts...we'll find out what tomorrow has in store for us as we take the present to the future with a vengeance for humanitarian justice.

~!jesatiu

PS-actually asking for donations to view a separate blog of "Controlled content" is probably not a reality in the very near future, because, as I've said, there are so many better writers out there than I, but, I want to stress that the idea does not center so much around my ability to write, but in my ability to do something good with the proceeds from donations. That, my friends, is where I want to take this adventure...humanitarian justice, just for us, all. And, if that is too lofty, then at least some reasonble sort of educational value, social value...would suffice.

2008-01-17T00:01:00.001-06:00

Variety of current topics discussed in thread of daily activity, includes notable quotes and links for the day...

Arrived home today to find that my daughter had done what she should have done and bussed the dishes and counter in our spacious kitchen/living area. She has done her homework and gone off to bed after getting a little laundry ready. Once I’ve actually installed the washer dryer in the hall where it goes this is going to be fairly easy…depending on my perspective, you know…

So, I turned my thoughts to her and then thought of her sister, with whom I’ve eaten lunch this afternoon.

She’s so bright-when she put on my hat I had to photograph it, good thing this four-year-old Nokia “candybar” style 3220 I’ve got still pulls out a pic now and then…night mode doesn’t work, but a few of the really awful things it was doing after being left in the rain that one time, oh wait, that was after it had also fallen from the car-breaking the screen (I was able to ebay replace that myself, dry the water damage with heat lamps and get that sucker back up and running, though). Getting it back up and usable turned out to work perfectly as well. The replacement one (identical, of course, how do you think I got the “new” screen?) was damaged shortly after going into service.

Well yeah, I love putting technology together, I really do. But when it works against me though…well those are the off days.

I have them. I mean I have days when electrons and particles just won’t deal with me. I suppose it’s those days that I…”diverge from normal” as I’ve stated…but I mean, when you can’t get this that or anything to work! You know…when it all fails? Ok like…when “stuff” isn’t stuff it’s…well…just there ‘cause it don’t work no more?...

Ok I have to explain what a phone is when it has no way of working and it becomes no longer a phone anymore-but rather a nonphone, but I really want to talk about my younger kid again…so I’ll explain later.

She likes things her way.

Some might call her…oh, I don’t know…pushy, or something (evil, that, was said once-she was compared to Evil Betty as we refer to my grandmother now…man it hurt when evil Betty finally died except she was one of those nursing home bound ones by then and what really hurt was when she stopped being evil Betty, you know? Years before she actually passed. We had some damn good times.).

So pushy kid is demanding water and salsa and all, except she really wasn’t being pushy; just assertive.

I loved it. And we so enjoyed lunch. Her digging for the one penny I had in my coat pocket and helping open my new books. Man did she tear into that quesadilla to get to the bread…and she a skinny girl, too. I think really she just didn’t care fore the cilantro, it was sooo good, I can eat cilantro plain by the handful-stuff is good.

Ohhh yeah…187.00 for something that’s already online and you get both? C’mon people…Chez Nous can go to pieces for all I care. I’m sorry guys, I know you gotta make a living too and all but I don’t see the breakdown-oh wait-shareholders...oh…yeah? really? Oh they do? Demanding? Oh ok…well…yeah I’ll quit bitching. I love the way you totally discombobulated the entire learning French experience here, but C’est la vie-is just my review.

SOOO I have hot tea, am going to eat some potatoes and hook you up with a few cool quotes and links of the day and call it a day…

I swear I won’t talk of textbooks for long, BUT I do know some of the answers one of you seeks. Or, at least I can see in the 17th direction that you are tying into the largest, most hungriest, most dominant group to ever read a magazine or buy a textbook. At least on record that we can actually prove.

I access my 180.00 content on a site linked through my collaborative learning site.

It’s url is: https://oncourse.iu.edu/portal. You won't be able to access without proper credentials.

You know, before we get to the links for the textbook topics that are of interest to those of you who have interest in magazine readership, I think I’ll talk about…skeery, huh? You don’t know what’ll come out next…

Ok ok…

I think I’ve met a million people. I’ve heard a record called 60,000,000 Buffalo once, that I’m certain and positive about, but I really think I’ve met or came into contact with over a million of you others. Just a personal thought I had when someone asked me if I’d heard of various ways of meeting people…I wasn’t in their head so I’m not sure what they thought that made them to think that they’d ask me that, the person who has traveled across this country and through this country every single way that people move themselves about (planes-roughly 40 trips-not much to bus travs but just as a kid, back then, that was something) (trains-yeah four/five times, if you count going up the west coast…and subways and such) (and-autos and hitchhiking and driving and walking and generally going throught the world, as Yung would say…) anyway, All I’m saying is that I know what I’m talking about whenever I do.

Buzzy says, “you might just say what you mean if you ever learn to mean what you say,” or something like that…I’ll just post the song for you to listen too (parts of)…

Ok done. On to textbooks and the online presence and transition…I know many of you know what the TRANSITION word is all about…as do I…as do I…

Oh, and I also realized I missed a question posed on a blog the other day (see response to when did you start blogging). I said I was a newbie and I am not up there with some of the greats that really are out there today, but I have been working on this for a while. I do a lot less news (*well survival, physical and emotional/spiritual are kinda like news…but yeah). Which is to say I don’t do any hard news, unless it’s reposted. I do do human though, and I do write/blog and have been doing it for several years now…I’ve kept up enough to play a little catch-up here and be right up to now where everyone else is…that’s one of the most interesting things about technology’s aspects and attributes-we are living in it now in the present and those at the top can be caught by any of the rest of us that are in the chase too. Not that we will, but we could, theoretically, because we “newbies” and “amateurs” as I like to call us, live in the same era as do the real pros.

In contrast, for example, a while back if someone was involved in something cutting edge, some publication or political directive they were authoring or advancement to physics or philosophy or math or astronomy, or music (we can add in names, Mozart, Franklin, Nietzsche, etc…) they were kinda special, kinda one of a kind, like…but now…at least in the sphere of technology, we’re all “growing up on it,” so to speak, at the same time, er, in the same times. You get it.

So finally here’s that stuff on the textbooks. Guy Kawasaki (@guykawasaki on twitter) should find these of interest, at least, worth a quick click, cause that’s all there is…come back and finish the article though…please.

TEXTBOOK LINKS:
http://books.quia.com/books
This follows in the vein of an article on truemors.com in which guykawasaki askes for opinion regarding a "new" technological approach to textbook learning...at least that was my take on the process...I could have it all wrong...

Elsewhere, I saw a good article via http://truemors.com/ on the new legalization efforts coming out of Oakland-and with an educational ring to them. I had wondered the other day if the DARE program would, seeing how we have so much globalization and buyouts and consolidations and all (according to the experts…oh they are? Media? Really? Well, I mean…I guess…but then…some of us are trained…) ok sorry…back at the ranch…

Where were we….ew, yeah…talking about drugs and making them legal. I don’t want to go off on that, it might violate some terms I’m obligated too.

Anyway…was talking about the book at this link: Amazon.com Primal Leadership Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence Books DanielGoleman,Richard E. Boyatzis,Annie McKee, which is about leading and leadership in the current day and age...I would like to read the book if someone could donante the 11.00 that would be great. I really appreciate if you are able to do things like that now and then.

Felt an interest in the article from truemors.com:

This last one sort of doesn't belong with the two previous, unless we discuss how a breakdown in freedoms could result in a breakdown in pur ability to create the power we need to make the technology we depend on work. This isn't, at least not yet, a complete threat, as we still retain some lore and ability to survive without technology, but in a couple decades or so, it could become an issue.

Entry for November 17, 2005

tag my mom painted the moon.

My mother painted the moon onto the night sky when I was a young child. She showed me the tides as they moved in and out on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, and I realized the world is a small part of a universe that is larger than I have enough imagination to understand.

This connection to the smallness of human life was later reinforced through an introductory astronomy class in college, the difference being more of the astronomy class knowledge has been forgotten, while my personal connection to the moon remains. At times it even grows.

When I say my mother painted the moon, I mean it literally. She had an artistic talent-one not passed on to me-and used it with oil on canvas to create treasures. At least I still have those. One of my favorite paintings is of the moon shining down on a part of the California coastline known as the Rincon.
The moon is not a simple thing floating above the earth, or something my mom left behind on her canvas, or a celestial body influencing oceanic movements and behavior in animals…no, it is something I will always have to connect me with my mom. That is what is important to me.

Often, as an airport terminal kid, which is similar to a latchkey kid, except my alone time was spent between the giant silver wings of commercial jets, I traveled back and forth across the country. One parent lived in Indiana, the other in California.

When I lived in one place, I was happy to be there, but was often sad, missing the other. When I left one place, I was sad to be leaving, but happy to be going back. Between times in California, when I’d miss my mother, I’d look into the sky, see the moon, and feel comforted. As a child, she said to me, “When you look up at it, you will know it is the same moon I am looking at.”

We all live under the same sky, influenced by the same moon. The same stars shine on all of us, the same sun lights our days. Mother realized this, and having this knowledge has helped me connect to life on earth in ways I don’t think I would have otherwise done.

I have come to believe the moon facilitates a spiritual connection between humans. Friends have told me how they feel comforted by the moon. It is said the power of a full moon influences behavior among primates, people included. In my experience, during times of the full moon, people have an increased rate of insomnia, they tend to act less cautiously, and do things they might not otherwise do. I cannot explain the phenomenon, but I’ve heard a lot of people make the same claims. The moon is a symbol of comfort, yet it is also seen as influencing rash behavior.

There is a lot of talk about what science has labeled the “full moon effect.” Most of the research itself is inconclusive, varying widely by scope, author and study. Some studies have shown that murder rates increase and decrease with the phases of the moon, and that animal bites are more common during the full moon. Other studies show no correlations. Inconsistency may be the only constant in these studies. Regardless, myth or fact, notions of changes in mammals based on moon phase exist.

Based simply on children’s literature, there’s actually a lot of comfort in the moon. Margaret Wise Brown’s story, Goodnight Moon, a bedtime favorite, is read by parents around the country, still, as when I was a child. In it there’s this big moon; silver, shining--powerfully comforting the young as the old lady sits, whispering hush.

Many children’s books exist that focus on the comfort of the moon. Frank Asch wrote Moonbear, where a young bear decides to do something about a moon he believes is shrinking each night. And if the moon could talk, by Kate Banks, includes the moon looking down on a child getting ready for bed.
I have always liked Eric Carle, and his moon book, Papa, please get the moon for me. His book helps settle youngsters on their way to bed. It features a parent-child-moon relationship-of-comfort.

In the end, the moon isn’t just special to me, it seems to be special to a lot of people for a variety of reasons. Of course, for me, it really is special for one specific reason.

I thank my mom for giving me a way to connect with her, because even though she died many years before she should have, and is no longer here with me, we still have the moon. I will never forget her, and it helps to think of her while I'm looking at the moon.

I know I'm right about all of this, don’t I? Or, maybe not, perhaps it’s all just lunacy. The powers of the moon really are as unpredictable as the associations people have with it. It is widely used in bedtime stories to comfort children, able to connect individuals across geographic divides, and yet, Luna, the Latin term for moon, is the root word of lunatic, lunacy, loony and other words meant to describe mental illness or disorder. Perhaps some beliefs are better left unchallenged by science. I am comforted by the moon, and I hope you are, too.

Randomly senseless tweets of the day...

Top morning tweets, chatter and inspirations...

2008-01-14T07:39:00.000-06:00

I felt inspiration from the expression of others recently. That inspiration is fueled by the other professionals from twitter.com. These individuals increase my awareness of just how incredibly quick new technology shapes and molds the environment we live in. It shapes both our personal environment, as well as our professional environment.

I have saved these tweets for further posting, partially because despite going into a bit of a personally spiritual rant (or perhaps due to), the post from twitter @mousewords seems to find its way to the heart of the matter; perhaps not in every way, but in many ways.

I authored this tweet:
what benefit to society is a social networking utility? come all of you, answer me! gimme good stuff?!?!?!?!?!?? 09:33 PM January 11, 2008 from web

I was inspired by the included @mousewords tweets:

One of the best parts of Twitter is being able to track my thinking.

and I take notice of this tweet of mine:
I have got to be reasonably more less-twittery. Taking past to future with a vengeance for humanitarian justice! ~!jesatiu bids amigos, ty. 12:50 AM January 12, 2008 from web.

Another twitter cuts through to what is the most important aspect of the social network phenomena, which is that we can...

@pistachio:

Can you make right now special? Not later. Not someday. Now. What could you change? about 15 hours ago from txt

Yes we can...but we must answer some important questions. a good way to start to explore the true value, which is my main interest other than the occasional simplicity of good converstation, is to develop the professional advantages and understand the complexiities of social networking on the level of business and commerce. Let's consider the question tweeted from twitter @elemenous, another professional in the field of blogging and social connectivity. Her blog, for reference and to add your own insight, is located at: http://macworldedubloggers.blogspot.com/

This is the question:

I'd love it if people in my PLN added comments to a blog post for Macworld. How has blogging impacted your professional development? about 9 hours ago from web

which is a follow up to:

Responding to: "Edublogging @ Macworld: Question for My Personal Learning Network: How has blogging impacted your professional developme ... ... about 9 hours ago from web

This is one response:

Social network blogging has increased my awareness of other professional avenues, I may not have otherwise explored. SN-ing offers a way to deliver a messgae to like-minded indivuduals, while keeping tabs on professionals with similar interests and those interests.

Technology is the tool we use, as professionals, so it is important to us. When we share our experiences, through collaboration and involvment, technology professionals and social networkers advance our own professional existence. Otherwise, it is a total waste of time...unless you count the way it offers us an avenue for answering questions like the one offered by @pistachio, which says, "Can you make right now special? Not later. Not someday. Now. What could you change?" about 15 hours ago from txt

It is that we can change right now into something we all understand. Then we can begin to make the future something we all want, rather than simply something it becomes despite our desires. We can use social networking to bring together the best of the best in the fields that provide information. The information we provide can change the right now into something special and can change the past into the future, with our spin, with our zest, with our passion for what we want.

Powerful reflections in dichotomy

Tag I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have a reason to say pack up the past…in response to “Jumper” by Third Eye Blind.

It’s the dichotomy of power.

The capital interest each human has in survival.

“for what it is, for what each of us are.”

“I’ve seen the others…”

Says author, writer…

There sits another stoned mother, situated between ridicule and angst, her bath drawn cold and mother inferior on her case. Tendencies of neglect of value reflected in the space…between the ears, behind the eyes.

And though her longing is that of mother-this feat she longs for as yet eludes. For with eternity’s blessings come delightful screams of irritation and disgust. Her long and want inspired by herself, in what it is,

And while amazing is the feature and detail afforded by gazing, we only see never what it is she sees. I’ve seen it me…I saw it in you. Very well, vault me,ski to the sky, my friend…

In you I have seen me-and in you in me I’ve seen the others…

Special "for Kellianne" clown repost

2008-01-13T06:23:00.000-06:00

tag twitter user podcasting special 100 word essays, and they can be quite special, johnny knoxville kinda special, special.

The wise Bart Simpson once said, "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me." We laughed at the time; we all thought it was a funny gag because really, clowns won't eat you in your sleep...The clowns prefer you awake and screaming anyway.

here's the rest of this, compliments of:

http://podcasting.isfullofcrap.com/

KELLY BURT

Ok what f-ed-up person was the first to think, "Yes, clowns—you know, for the kids."
Clowns are terrifying--you know, for the adults. I have never been a fan of clowns...I know, what a surprise. Clowns are evil. They are the ones that walk the night in search of victims. People are afraid of things that go bump in the night, but they should be afraid of CLOWNS! They wear make-up and lurk. I hate things that lurk. I know that I must find a way to rid us of these foul creatures. I hope that there is a cure.

DUCKYFRESH

The wise Bart Simpson once said, "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me." We laughed at the time; we all thought it was a funny gag because really, clowns won't eat you in your sleep. That's not very clown-like behavior at all. I certainly don't find it amusing one bit to think clowns might creep into your bedroom with fork and knife at the ready, to gobble you up while you slumber peacefully. I am quite certain there is a rule in the Clown Book of Ethics that strictly forbids such nocturnal atrocities. The clowns prefer you awake and screaming anyway.

CALEB

Ever since his last trip to Arkham Asylum the Joker, that one time clown prince of crime decided to go straight. His penchant for wild inventions and gadgetry quickly made him the richest man in all of Gotham. Corporate takeovers proved even more exciting than heists and were so much more profitable. Still, he did wish he could exact vengeance on that meddlesome Batman.
When an accountant notified him of some irregularities in the recent Wayne Corps acquisition, he couldn’t help but smile even wider. Atomic cars? Helicopters? At shareholder expense? Batman was done for.

TOM

I have notice same memories are no longer connect to corporal space. I no longer remember having been at a kiddy clown show. Being the luck child called up to help with a balloon trick. The only latent image in my brain is a 8mm movie shot by my dad. Just as the balloon was growing to amazing lengths the film ran out. The last few seconds of the film turns to a orange red streak and poof I’m and he are gone. I remember being told the clown was Emmett Kelly but it probably was some other 2d clown

Most of the time I love clowns.
The orange hair, large red noses, pants 10 sizes to large, their over size shoes.
They make me laugh until my eyes squirt water like the flowers on their lapels and my voice becomes a croak.
They exhaust me.
This last few weeks I find little to laugh about.
I turn on the TV and there they are.
A full menagerie of clowns, without costumes.
They all say that we, the people, are in trouble and they are the only clowns in town that can fix US.
That's with a capitol U S

GUY

The clowns came over today. They where just on their way to Kentucky. The big boss knows who to send on an off mission, I mean, no one would suspect a clown. They always get their target and those poor bastards just don't know what hit them. Was it the little plastic hummer? Maybe it was the pennywhistle? Those are deadly. One note played the right way and all the gray staff comes running out of your ears screaming. Not this time though. This time it was that little electric hand buzzer. Gets them every time. Those clowns are good.

LAIEANNA

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's all just an act. Don't be alarmed to see this clown on his back. He'll be up again, clowning about, And when he does, let's cheer and shout.
Announced as Potato, the fainting clown,
Known one minute to be up and the next minute down.
Life, he spent quiet and shy wherever he'd dwell.
Career, he was magic except those pesky fainting spells.
You'd think and assume it tough on his heart,
But the clown kept strong from the very start.
What did him in one day in fall,
Was bad trajectory of a human cannonball.

TERRY

In the good old days, people who wanted to become clowns ran away to the circus. Or so Billy Bob thought the legend went. It was a far cry from reality, now that the city put a bounty on their heads.
The bands of clowns and their midget cars involved in drive-by pie in the face incidents were now a daily happening.
The final straw was the mayor's wife being targeted as she walked down Main Street.
Billy Bob was more than glad to put his army training to work. The money from the bounty would come in handy,
now with jobs were far and few between. All he needed was one of those incidents to happen.
He knew as soon as he heard the car; he was in luck, who else but clowns would be driving like that.
With a quick click, the safety on his rifle was off. Billy Bob would be dining well tonight.
Clowns, damn those clowns!

PLANET Z

There's an old joke where a guy who's suicidally depressed goes into a doctor's office, tells the doctor he's always miserable while everybody else is so happy.
He's tried everything – pills, booze, sex, intense shock therapy... nothing's worked.
Doctor thinks a bit, says a famous clown is in town, always brings laughter and joy wherever he performs.
Man says “I am Pagliaci.”
Doctor says “What? No, I'm thinking of Bertoli, not you. I mean, let's face it – people are laughing because you're just so awful.”
Then he gives Pagliacci his theater pass, some Zoloft, and kicks him out the door.

Tag: Twitter user unsorryass’s rants unnecessarily rude to other users

(The names have been altered to ensure this application is applicable to all those involved and otherwise not involved.)
Copr. ~!jesseloop 2008 applies to all blogs on http://jesseloop.blogspot.com

Unsorryass’s tirade causes users to become quite ticked off, it would seem. In a total lack of subtly and tact, unsorryass’s goes off on just about everyone for just about anything (well, of course that’s an exaggeration, but he has been kinda harsh on a few of us). I believe this person may need to rest a bit, perhaps sleep would induce a few much needed “sorries.”
Really, saying sorry isn’t so much admitting you are wrong, but just apologizing for the perception of rudeness, in this particular instance. Admitting you’re wrong takes an even better human.

More on the backstory:
Before realizing I had been blocked and received these Direct Message texts:

unsorryass’s You're just a dick ... is that too clever for you? Dick from the start, dick all day, and dick now. *blocked* 12:49 AM January 10, 2008 reply

unsorryass’s BTW.FWIW I'm from Northern Alberta. You and MegFowler are the only 2 nasty people I've met in months on twitter. (She adds smilies? pffft) 04:10 PM January 09, 2008 reply

unsorryass’s Oh, I see. Well ... you might want to start a blog! You graduated 2004? That's ... golly, that's almost 4 years ago. 01:57 PM January 09, 2008 reply

unsorryass’s Normally people link to a webpage. It is extremely unusual for someone to link directly to a PDF. 01:56 PM January 09, 2008 reply

I had posted a reply to Unsorryass’s’s post at:
http://mozdawg.blogspot.com/search?q=

which read:

I really like the fact that you really are a very intelligent person. I complimented you because I may be about to blast you.
I may not be, as well. I’ll leave that determination to you.
The other day you asked me why I hadn't been bloggin' since it's been, in what I took as an attempt to belittle my age and...gumption, or desire, I suppose, if not just the latter, 4 years since I graduated. I'm here to thank you for making this place for me to blog. I actually choose, till now, not to be able to afford the time to put together a professional place to write, and I’m no amateur.

Well, back at the ranch, it seems like a "narrow" (like this term) thought to assert "most folk" see much similarity in the root terms of the words accurate and precise.
I disagree that many people assume such similarity in meaning, just for the plain fact that it is very easy to be accurately imprecise. I use this statement of yours to argue that, as I've noticed, in my limited interaction with you over the past few days, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
I said, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
This fact, if indeed I am correct (and really, I almost always am), is not necessarily a bad thing. I just think you need to take your chip and place it on a winning number. The chances are that if you choose correctly, you have the chance to actually make a difference, instead of just claiming the house ruined your hand, and leaving disappointed.
You are quite intelligent. Use this intelligence to not only demonstrate the deficiencies, but to also seek a solution for them.
Other than that, I would suggest that the last line of your post is clunky, and that there is a typo involving the use of the word how, I’m sure you mean to say, "and that's how [and not hot] it is with the A-list..."
Further, I ask, where do you get your style at, as it pertains to the usage of a space preceding an ellipsis? I do not believe that is how most people do it. Or, as you said to me, "it's unusual" for people to do...so and so, etc....
And you know what I mean...you were discussing my link to a .pdf file rather than an url...etc...the day we talked with our friend, or at least my friend, @megfowler.
Oh, and concerning your statements about @megfowler, have you thought of an apology? I apologize for making your private comments to me about her public, but I think it is the kind of statement you ought not make, should you not be willing to state thus publicly.
I do believe it is worthwhile to give people a break now and then...wouldn't you agree?
I told you I sometimes make a harsh first impression, but I always end up looking good in the end. This is a valuable asset to achieving what I want.
Finally, I'll close with a sincere compliment to your writing, I was nearly able to keep from scrolling faster than I am actually able to read while browsing your page. It held my attention, for the most part. Thank you for your thoughts.
Yours,
@jesatiu

I realize my response is full of typographical errors as well, yes. I was not faulting you on this, just editorializing.
I also did not realize, as I had not logged into twitter prior to leaving my comment, that you had called me a dick in a direct message and indicated you "blocked" me.
I do think you are wrong, but entitled to your opinion. I apologize for whatever miscommunication it was that lead you to believe I was intentionally trying to be a "dick," as you say.
I live life attempting to better the world around me. You are mistaken and unnecessarily hostile.
Yours,
Jesse

Depicting a night at twitter-land, jesse finds a certain twitter user making all the wrong keystrokes with reckless abandon? I think, yes, perhaps very much so...

His rudeness to @megfowler caught my eye the other day, and I attempted to converse with him in order to...get to know his motives a bit better. And he's founded an attack on @newmediajim, a working man reporting on Bush's trip abroad, for no apparent reason other than to accentuate his apparent lack of...tact, I think is the correct term. Others have used the term A$$hole, but that's their statement, not mine...

Chanced to run across his blog today, and left comments giving props and kudos, only to see my comments promptly removed. I will re-post here now:

I use this statement of yours to argue that, as I've noticed, in my limited interaction with you over the past few days, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
I said, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
This fact, if indeed I am correct (and really, I almost always am), is not necessarily a bad thing. I just think you need to take your chip and place it on a winning number. The chances are that if you choose correctly, you have the chance to actually make a difference, instead of just claiming the house ruined your hand, and leaving disappointed.
You are quite intelligent. Use this intelligence to not only demonstrate the deficiencies, but to also seek a solution for them.
Other than that, I would suggest that the last line of your post is clunky, and that there is a typo involving the use of the word how, I’m sure you mean to say, "and that's how [and not hot] it is with the A-list..."
Further, I ask, where do you get your style at, as it pertains to the usage of a space preceding an ellipsis? I do not believe that is how most people do it. Or, as you said to me, "it's unusual" for people to do...so and so, etc....
And you know what I mean...you were discussing my link to a .pdf file rather than an url...etc...the day we talked with our friend, or at least my friend, @megfowler.
Oh, and concerning your statements about @megfowler, have you thought of an apology? I apologize for making your private comments to me about her public, but I think it is the kind of statement you ought not make, should you not be willing to state thus publicly.
I do believe it is worthwhile to give people a break now and then...wouldn't you agree?
I told you I sometimes make a harsh first impression, but I always end up looking good in the end. This is a valuable asset to achieving what I want.
Finally, I'll close with a sincere compliment to your writing, I was nearly able to keep from scrolling faster than I am actually able to read while browsing your page. It held my attention, for the most part. Thank you for your thoughts.
Yours,
@jesatiu

I realize my response is full of typographical errors as well, yes. I was not faulting you on this, just editorializing.
I also did not realize, as I had not logged into twitter prior to leaving my comment, that you had called me a dick in a direct message and indicated you "blocked" me.
I do think you are wrong, but entitled to your opinion. I apologize for whatever miscommunication it was that lead you to believe I was intentionally trying to be a "dick," as you say.
I live life attempting to better the world around me. You are mistaken and unnecessarily hostile.
Yours,
Jesse
