Blowing It Scenario #76-2 Young Women Caught Smuggling 200 Pounds Of Cocaine To Australia.

Getting Caught Smuggling 200 Pounds Of Cocaine Is a 200 Pound Failure.

Actually it will add up to a lifetime failure. Two beautiful young girls who had their whole lives in front of them. Will now spend nearly a decade behind bars, because of their actions. They had just found a love for travel too. As they were traversing the globe seeing all the beautiful places the world had to offer. They got involved with the wrong people in the wrong business.

They picked up a sugar daddy. A wealthy man to pay for their way of life. Often times putting out sexually for this exchange. Almost like a high end prostitute. I reserve judgement on that. Money should be spent however you want to spend it and women should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies that they see fit. With their new sugar daddy they got into the drug smuggling game. Which was probably their biggest failure, their decision to get involved in drug smuggling in the first place. That and excepting a sugar daddy. What a dumb way to go out, and who gives two young women 200 pounds of cocaine? It’s almost like they were planning to fail. I’m sure no suspicions would arise when two petite women who can barely carry their luggage are asked to open their suitcases to reveal barely any clothes and a few bricks of cocaine adorning their bags. At least practice some moderation.

However it is probably a good thing these girls got caught the way they did and only got the limited sentence they received because if they didn’t learn this lesson now. They could have fell prey to far worse individuals down the road.

Seriously though just enjoy your vacation, stay out of prison so you can continue to enjoy many more vacations. If you feel the need to smuggle something in order to make huge profits, than learn e-commerce. Than you can ship and sell legal goods all around the world. It may take a little longer to earn those huge profits but I assure you it won’t take half as long as your prison sentence.

Blowing It Scenario #75-Tax Day.

It’s the Final Day To Submit Your Taxes.

For some this may be a joyous occasion your hired the right accountant and they have sifted through all your expenses and found you a nice little return at the end of the year. For many others this time of year is a burden to big to bare. No write offs, no deductions, health care penalties. Some may find themselves owing money. When every last cent already went to paying bills and buying groceries for sustenance just to keep themselves alive. And maybe turning the lights and heat on from time to time. So they will be the hardest hit usually they will be put on a payment plan just enough to keep them in their perpetual poverty.

Where does all this money go anyway? There are so very few social programs any more. Roadways are deteriorating, we still don’t have universal healthcare. All we have is a penalty if we don’t buy it ourselves. A failed system for sure. Teachers aren’t being paid. Programs left and right are being slashed and yet the tax bill keep chugging along. Well a lot of the money goes to debt and when you have never ending balloon of debt. You constantly need to feed that beast on the backs of hardworking citizen.

We have government employees who consistently misappropriate funds. The man in charge of affordable housing spends thousands over budget on office furniture. Who pays for that? The tax payer does. The man in charge of protecting our environment spent $43,000 on a sound proof phone booth. Which raises questions why does he need a booth like that in his own office? Again who foots the bill? The tax payer does. He was also given an apartment at a highly reduced rate by a company he is supposed to regulate. More conflicts of interest. Treasury secretary honeymoons in Europe which he called a business trip, using government funding. There’s your tax dollars hard at work. So while so many live large and lavishly in government with the public’s tax dollars. Many citizen this year will languish in the fact that not only were taxes taken from their paycheck every week, they will have to pay even more money at tax season just to continue to fuel this reckless spending.

Regardless of these facts be sure to pay your taxes because if you don’t the government can confiscate everything you own, but you don’t have to be happy about it. And find yourself a good accountant it will probably be a small cost to save yourself thousands.

Blowing It Scenario #74-Police In Canada Arresting Parents Who Hog Tied Sexual Predator Who Was Targeting Their 13 Year Old Daughter.

Can Parents Not Protect Their Children Anymore.

It’s crazy to me that this is a crime that the parents committed and not a crime by the true criminal. If a 28 year old man tries to solicit sex on instagram from a 13 year old girl and that girls parents step in and capture this sexual predator when he come to their house for the inappropriate meet up. They should be given an award not arrested. Instead that’s exactly what happened in Canada recently.

Police told the parents to forget the man and block him on instagram but did nothing to the true criminal in this scenario. Instead they arrested the parents for their actions. The father said am I not alloyed to protect my family in my own house. I could not agree with him more he should have every right to do such a thing. Now this pedophile walks free while the true heroes face charges. What are we do when predators hide behind computer setting traps for innocent children to fall prey too. The parents had their answer on how to bring this man out of the shadows and I think they should have every right to pursue vigilante justice if police are unwilling to follow up a parents request to bring this man to justice themselves.

As for the websites these sick individuals operate within and fake profiles they hide behind, those websites should do more to protect children. If someone is being harassed online that person should have every right to know who their attacker is and be able to prosecute them to the full extent and backing of the law. The internet can be a very unsafe place, especially for young children. Keep them safe anyway you can, even if that means you have to get arrested for it, like this Canadian couple, than so be it.

Blowing It Scenario #73-The Sad Story Of The Hart Family And How C.P.S. Was Too Late.

How Were These Women Able To Adopt So Many Children In The First Place.

Jennifer and Sarah Hart had six adopted children to take care of and they did the unthinkable in the end. When they drove their SUV carrying most likely all six children off a cliff in California, three children are still missing. It’s looking more and more like a homicide where all eight passengers were killed. How can such an unstable person get the approval to adopt six children let alone one? And how with frequent check ups from social workers could they maintain such a household?

From the outside these women put on a very convincingly happy facade. In all the pictures of the whole family they’re all smiling ear to ear. So how does such a tragedy occur? There were reports of child abuse by both the children and neighbors. Apparently the women were withholding meals from the children. So much so that the neighbors were feeding some of the kids up to three times a day. Yet when child protective services were closing in, the family went on the run.

By then it was too late to protect these children from their care givers. I’m not quite sure how adoptions are monitored over the years but I would hope that they maintain psychological evaluations on the adoptive parents and when red flags arise they remove the children from their care. Yet you hear about abuse often with adoptive parents. I would imagine, as soon as a child claims abuse they would immediately be removed from that environment. So we never have to hear of a story where adoptive parent launch their vehicle off a cliff at seventy miles an hour with six kids inside. No attempt to break what so ever.  It’s a completely sad tragedy and one we hopefully learn from and can avoid in the future because no child’s life should be cut short, especially when their is preventable measures that can be taken.

Blowing It Scenario #72-Cranks.

A Short Story By Blowing It.

Two young brothers are playing in a village one day when a old man approaches them. In his hands he carries two weathered and worn, slightly aged hand cranks. He tells the boys sealed in these hand cranks is power wisdom, release it and great riches can be yours. So the first boy, eager to receive such riches takes the old man’s offer. He runs home with one of the cranks. Excited to live his rich life he immediately finds a hammer and smashes the crank to pieces, to his utter dismay no such wisdom is released. He returns to the village and finds the old man, crank shards in hand and cries foul, “their is no wisdom locked in this worthless piece of machine, you lied to me.” The old man agrees with the boy and excepts his broken crank back.

The other brother just as eager to receive such wisdom, is more steadfast in his resolve, he takes his crank home and begins to turn the wheel. Day in and day out he toils over this crank. He starts to gain strength from the exertion on his muscles. He then begins to read and gain new knowledge to pass the time while turning this machine. He soon finds meaning and purpose in his menial task. For he will one day own powerful wisdom through this process. Before long people from towns far and wide hear of this boy and they come to see him. As the onlookers stop and marvel, he begins to use his new audience as a platform to teach all those willing to listen. He teaches them everything he can, he freely expels his new found knowledge. Knowledge he has gained over the years while laboring away. Soon the patrons begin to pay to hear what this young man has to say. He continues to share with the world the wisdom he has obtained while turning this crank. After quite awhile of teaching, he becomes very wealthy.

The old man returns to the village to come to see him again. The boy who is now a bit older, jumps up to hug the old man and thank him for such gifts he has bestowed upon him. The old man gracious in his praise reveals to the boy he did absolutely nothing to deserve such praise. For the cranks he gave to the boys were nothing more than a pile of junk. That the boy himself through his very own hard work and effort developed the powerful wisdom that he sought, and the riches that followed. It was always within him and only him. No material thing can give you such power, it’s all what you do with it and your belief in yourself. He tells the boy as you can see from your brother, instant gratification, although thrilling to begin with, usually leaves you very disappointed with your results in the end. Only effort gets you what you truly want. We are the only people who can control our meaning, we give the things around us that meaning. The crank was junk but held incredible meaning within you, and it was only you who used that meaning to channel your purpose towards gaining the wisdom and subsequent riches. I have done nothing but pass along an opportunity. The young man blown away by the old mans confession greeted him a loving smile. He tells the old man thank you again, for he discovered this fact on his own long ago.

Blowing It Scenario #71-Blow Drying Your Hands In Public Bathrooms.

Blowing It By Blow Drying Hands.

Oh what joy, imagine you just relieved yourself of a full bladder that you had been holding in all day, what sweet relief. And now you kindly do the right thing by washing your hands thoroughly before departing the restroom and returning to regularly scheduled activities. Warm water caresses your hands, as your gingerly rub anti bacterial soap through all the nooks and crannies from finger tips to wrist, nothing escapes your purview. As you depart this joyous bath your hands and fingers are receiving, you’re left with a choice.

Do you dry your wet dripping hands in the hand dryer? Or do just shake the water droplets loose and wick of the remaining moisture on your pant leg? Well if you chose option one, your in for a treat. A treat where you’ll receive many potentially unwanted gifts in the process. As you place your hands under the powerful hot air, unbeknownst to you, and invisible to the naked eye. But as that hot air blast the water free from your hands, that very same hot air is now showering in a cornucopia of fecal matter and since it’s a public restroom you could probably be certain 99.9% of this lovely shower is foreign poo particles, all dancing there way over your entire body.

This is what a recent study has found conducted at the University of Connecticut, they placed bacteria collecting plates throughout 36 different restroom facilities on campus, fired up the blow dryers and let the good times roll. With hand dryers on, the plates collected 18 to 60 bacterial colonies, by contrast when blow dryers were off, the plates in regular bathroom air only collected one colony total. I don’t know about you but that is sufficient enough evidence to drop the use of air dryers all together and deal with the repercussion of having some damp pant legs for a few minutes. Who really know how clean pants are either though. Maybe just opt for paper towels and if their are none maybe just naturally let the regular old air dry those sopping wet hands of yours. Certainly this method will happen sometimes painfully slow but it beats the heck out of the body blasting poop shower alternative that you could be receiving.

Blowing It Scenario #70-Fear Mongering.

Main Stream News Not Only Sensationalizes The News It Reports, It Creates A Sense Of Fear.

Every single article I came across this morning in the news had an ostentatious sense of fear surrounding it. Let me walk you through a few world ending head lines. West planning on bombing Syria. Fox news reporting the world may end April 23 when planet X passes by. Another article ask the question what if earth climate controlling conveyor belt came to a halt. The list goes on and on. Really almost all news could fall under blowing it. It’s hard to even read the news without getting some form of depressing thoughts bubbling up to the surface, or outright fear.

So often we’ll fall prey to this trap, we’ll develop anger and resentment and we’ll want the powers that be to do something about our new found anger the news has in sighted. Or more often then not, we’ll sit with our misery, only to take it out one the first unsuspecting friend or family member that is willing to engage in the topics. Usually these are topics most of us have very little or absolutely no control over what so ever. What are you going to do about stopping bombs in Syria or halting that fictitious planet from reaching earth? I’ll tell you this much anger isn’t going to help.

Honestly if you don’t read the news to use it for current events, I would recommend steer clear of it all together. We must stand guard at the gateway of our minds and one the best possible way to do that is to is to avoid such negativity, especially early in the morning. Often it can set the tone for the entire day. Avoid it like the plague. I’ve gone through multiple stints where I completely cut out news and I was all the more happier for it. However if you must read the news, I recommend an RSS feed news app that filters out only the news you want to read. Then only put positive filters on that app. Encouraging articles, improvement articles, helpful articles. That way the news you receive will be that of benefit and not purely of misery.

Blowing It Scenario #69-Our Throw Away Culture.

A Failure Of Happiness, Love, Relationships, You Name It, We Throw It Out.

I seriously can’t believe how much we throw out and we do it at such a velocity with so much ease. I’m not talking about just the weekly garbage pick up either, although we do throw out a lot there too. I’m talking about life in general. We are consistently trained through media, entertainment, and through our friends, and family. The message is constantly bombarded on us through our phones and tablets, that your life might suck and it can be so much better if you just buy this or invest in that. We’re like Pavlov’s dogs trained to salivate at the promise of greener pastures just over the horizon. All the while we fail to truly appreciate what we have.

We tend to love what we have for a brief moment in time and once that moment has faded, we eagerly jump to the next thing that will arouse our fleeting desires. We love our home’s for a few years than we become discontent with it, the floor plan sucks, the bathroom isn’t big enough, we need to redo the kitchen, and after all that’s done, it’s still not enough. So we’ll throw it out and hope to get something better. We’ll find what we think to be the love of our lives and when things don’t go our way, instead of working on it, we’ll throw that relationship out. It’s no wonder we have over a 50% divorce rate. I believe that will continue to increase, like I said we are trained to want more every day. We go on dates and if it’s not absolutely perfect, we’ll throw that potential suitor out. On dating apps you literally practice throwing away real people, in real time. It may not feel that way, you’re just swiping at photo’s, but you are the judge, jury, and executioner and you do it all by judging that book by it’s cover, or in this case a persons face and body. And yet we can’t figure out why these relationships hardly ever work out. Well it’s because before the date has even taken place, you’ve already treated everyone else like garbage people. Casting them out before ever even knowing them. The phones we buy purposeful burn out there own batteries after two years of use. Just so you have to throw that one out and buy a new fancier higher priced one. A tool breaks or an appliance stops working we throw it out with no attempt to repair. We’ll order too much food at dinner and when we’re unable to finish, those extras will find their way to the trash heap. Our clothes get worn or dated, so it’s on to a new wardrobe. Everything has become so easily expendable. It’s obvious why some people are disengaged, dissatisfied and fed up.

There is a lesson on happiness in stoic philosophy that says if you want to be happier, than you simply have to lower your expectations. I believe that to be true in the material world and when relying on others, because others fall outside of our realm of control. I’m not advocating giving up either. In “Flow”the famous work by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi he states that happiness lies in progress, something we fully control within ourselves, too much too fast is not always good from a happiness prospective. It’s much higher stress. You can be a Steve Jobs or a Elon Musk but you’ll have to sacrifice an insane amount to achieve those results, including some happiness. Mihaly says the sweet spot of progress and happiness is getting 4% better and any given productive task. It’s the reason some can stay up all night playing games with others or when building something new and in doing so, you completely lose track of time. It’s because you’re in a state of flow, you are making incrementally improved progress. Challenging yourself to deliberately get a little better each time out. And the rewards are often amazing. It’s the similar to the Kaizen principles where you try to achieve 1% growth with each practice. So continually try to improve yourself and you’re life will automatically improve around you. Just be content with what you have in the process. Life is good, be thankful.

Blowing It Scenario #68-Comedian Double Standards Expressed In Simpson’s Response To Apu Controversy.

The Problem With “The Problem With Apu”

The Simpsons recently released a clip responding to the controversy surrounding one of their main characters Apu. An Indian store clerk who is voiced by an white american voice over specialist and actor Hank Azaria. Hari Kondabolu a comedian of Indian decent, wrote and starred in a documentary film called “The Problem With Apu.” Noting the problem with this characters representation of Indian culture to the public. I completely agree with Hari, it is an over the top generalization of an Indian character voice by a white man. Which by all accounts in our current cultural climate is racist.

I believe it has and always will be a fun non malicious character for the creators of Simpson. Never have they had ill intent pushing forward characters that may be seen in a poor light. What are the Simpson to do with Apu now after thirty years of representation without backlash? If anything the problem lies in the general society that use the Apu name as a derogatory term. Those are the true racist. And since Simpsons is such a huge cultural phenomenon it’s the lowest hanging fruit for the ignorant and misinformed.

On the other side of this problem with Apu. I’m quite surprised this documentary has been brought forth by a comedian. The one art form that habitually crosses lines and pushes the boundary of all political correctness to expose not only our own insecurities but often times how ridiculous those insecurities play a role throughout our lives. Thank goodness for those comedians that shine a light on some of our darkest demons and make us laugh while doing it. There is an Indian comedian that his whole act is literally making fun of nearly every single culture and people love it. They’ll laugh hysterically at his over generalized conceptions of their cultures. This is absolutely no different then what the Simpsons do. Something we should never censor. It’s the right to free speech. Just like it’s the Simpsons right to create characters that may every so often offend some and Hari’s right to make a documentary about those who have been offended.

We’ll all say and write stuff that will offend another, and this will happen through out life. There is no avoiding that. That just the nature of the beast, everyone is an individual who is entitled to their own feelings and emotions, try to stay respectful of others, don’t do things with malicious intent. And if your trying to be funny, make sure it’s funny. Once it’s stops being funny maybe it’s time to move on.

Blowing It Scenario #67-Bill Cosby, 40 Plus Years Of Blowing It.

40 Plus Years An Alleged Rapist Has Walked Free.

All the while hiding behind the veil of good wholesome family man and comedian. Ridiculing and deriding other comedians that used dirty language in their act. This is the worst kind of predator. The most unassuming, and easy to trust. We were all sold the lie, and maybe that was his own carefully crafted image that made us buy into that facade. Making himself untouchable in the process and it’s those untouchables that get away with murder. Or in this case decades of sexual abuse, using drugs to rape victims. We didn’t want to believe it, how could the jello pudding pop guy, the guy who never utters a bad word, Doctor Huckstable himself, how could he be a sexual predator?

Today begins day 1 of his retrial, the fact that it has made it to retrial is somewhat baffling. However I do respect the court process and they are only trying one of the alleged victims case, so they have to completely disregard the numerous other women he attacked in years prior. And statute of limitations apply. All because he hasn’t raped anyone since his sixties. But did we only reach this statute because when original victims came forward their pleas for this sexual predator to be reprimanded fell on deaf ears? Were those in charge of the criminal process also so blinded to the fact it was thee Bill Cosby? I assume it’s very hard to charge a rape case. In most instances it’s one persons word against another and there needs to be evidence a criminal act occurred. However when there are multiple women coming forward with the same allegations it becomes time to act. Time to believe the victims, time to punish the accused.

In this type of situation I believe some flexibility in a statute of limitations should be allowed. If an accuser came forward many years ago and it’s on record but was completely dismissed or thrown out at the time because of the accused status. Than that should not be considered part of the statute, that should be considered poor investigating or poor judgement. Those allegations should now still be relevant, and admissible in court, and it shouldn’t matter how far back they go. Either way Bill Is 80 years old and has already gotten away with all this. We need this to be an example to future generations that it doesn’t matter the stature of the predator let’s go after them and fight them tooth and nail till the end. Till justice is served.
