"AMERICA" FUCK YEAH!!!

Did you know that Congress debated and revised the wording of the Declaration of Independence, finally approving it on July 4. A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.^[6]

Well looks like John Adams supported the 2nd amendment as well.  Its sad to think back 238 years ago what declaring Independence from Britain must have been like.  Did you know that Britain considered it an act of treason and saw the authors and endorsers as terrorist.  Why would such educated men do such a thing and risk so much.  What where they really trying to be Independent from?

Pretty simple really, I mean we where taught many different lies in school about religious freedoms and taxes on tea.  However the real reason what to have a debt free currency.  You see you can never build wealth for yourself or you loved ones if there is DEBT tied to every dollar you earn.  Some of our greatest Presidents have been killed protecting the Declaration of Independence and a debt free currency.  Presidents like Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and JFK, all supported an independent debt free Currency.  Weird that all had attempts made on their lives with only Andrew Jackson living through his attempt.

Now Americans don't realize this but there Independence only lasted till December 23, 1913.  Which mean the United States as an Independent Nation with a Debt Free Currency only lasted as a Republic of 137 years. The Federal Reserve System (also known as the Federal Reserve, and informally as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act,  This is a private Foreign corporation owned by non-american interest.

So have fun today celebrating your RE-Enslavement because this is the 100th anniversary  of celebrating something that does not exist........ INDEPENDENCE! 

P.S.
Just on a little side note all the world wars fought protecting this "Independence" where fought after it was lost!!

P.S.S
 and just so we are clear......  the same foreign people who profit from central banking also profit from WAR!

WEIRD?!?!?!?!

But who am I to Judge?  America Fuck Yeah!!

Who Sold You on Your Lifestyle

It's become very apparent to me the in talking to so many different people that they all have very different belief systems. Now I'm not talking about spiritual beliefs or religion, I'm talking about the belief systems that create their reality.  People often ask me how I live a certain lifestyle, how do you travel so much, or all it looks like you do is have FUN, or I what I do for a living which allows you so much free time.  I'm sure what they mean is what do I do for monetary compensation, because in my humble opinion trading my limited time in this experience for numbers in an account or pieces of paper, is the opposite of "doing for a Living". I've always made a contribution by helping people confront there limiting beliefs, and for some reason in the system we live in those numbers appear in accounts with my corporate name on them (YOUR NAME ALL CAPS) which gives me access to trade those numbers and paper for goods and services.  Now I say it that way not to confuse you but to simply point out how bull shit the system you bought into works. I'm not trying to wake you up from the "MATRIX DREAM" you might be living, just maybe nug you a little so you stop snoring (bitching) so loud.

I think over the next few blog post I explore some of these nuances and offer up some of my perspectives on certain topics that get you voluntarily farther away from the life you want and closer to the drone slave your becoming.

What Do You Do? What Are You Doing?

Things I Do

Well let's see, I Travel to see new places and experience different cultures to broaden my perspectives, I Snowboard, Snow Ski, Wakeboard, Kite Board, Paddle Board, Kayak, Surf, Mt. Bike, Dirt Bike, Ride Harley's, Race Cars, Skydive, Base Jump, Rock Climb, Paraglide, Speed Wing, Proximity Fly, Squirrel Suit, and I love walks on the beach to watch sunsets or sunrises, sometime I just feel like dancing, and other times I just want to be still and meditate with Graditude in my Heart and thankfulness running through my mind.  

So Bad it was Blocked off Facebook

So in my last blog post I posted some screen shots of a text message stream where I cut out phone numbers to keep everything anonymous.  I didn't even have to tell anyone which texts where mine, but for some reason a person on Facebook wanted to lay claim to the other side of the conversation.  After 24 hours of their comments they where blocked and comments removed.  So here is what you might have missed and how you can get blocked from my Facebook.

Everything seems to be just fine.....  Yet no one has told me which pictures to take down or how to word an apology if warranted. 

Then the unthinkable happens. 

If you don't want to read it I don't blame you neither did I so my buddy JTB read it to us Karaoke style

on YouTube here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dG9eD6FskE

I think Coli was referring to how long it took to type up that response.  A responce that took this from an anonomys screen shot post with the question to public opinion as to what pictures need to be removed from my Facebook www.facebook.com/iankirknetwork - to a personal attack on me and others on the stream. 

I find it fascinating that the person causing the drama is the one apologizing for it as well. 

Oh good she's "done here"

Don't know who Cyn is below but she has some valid points

Well at least I'm not the only one being attacked in a public forum.  Cyn, I don't think your comments are "sad," whatever that means and as far as being "all the average," she obviously didn't look at any of your pictures or relationship status before saying that..

Wait Wait she's about to be "done" for the second time......  Thank God!

Damn I messed up I thought we were "done"

So if it was a long text that I left out I apologize but I don't know how a screen shot would do that.  But you would think that two 2hr phone conversations would be enough time to set up plans.

My intentions?  I thought those where clear in the post. 1) What pictures on my Facebook would cause someone to react this way. 2) Is an appology owed to anyone?

You know she's right I did say I would make sure to be in a WiFi spot during her travels and upon her scheduled arrival.  That day I said the max amount of time that could go by before I would text back was an hour.

However the day that she was text blasting me I was no where near a phone for the second half of the day. 

Ok so to be clear, pictures can destort the truth?  

Wait Wait. Who's putting negative energy where?

Let's remember the blog post was anonymous.  So I didn't take a private discussion public. I took words and ask the public what on my Facebook would cause someone to say these statements about my page.   

But what you couldn't see was the instant messenger messages coming in on the chat line. Now these are only being posted by me because the person who sent them said "You might as well post this too" in the 2nd message.  Well here you go.  

I See Crazy People

So I love living in beautiful places and having friends come visit.  I am also extremely luck to be able to reserve Condos or Villas to make sure they get to stay in 4-5 star accommodations.  Sometimes things  can go sideways with plans. Mostly because of unforeseen complications in other peoples lives. Most recently I experience this in a way I never have before so I thought I would post it to try to understand what the hell happend.

So you know the background I posted a video on YouTube of me getting my hair cut for the first time in a year and a certain Facebook friend asked me out to dinner with my new look publicly in the comments.

Well one of my best friends told me if I didn't take her up on it he would no longer be my friend. His friendship means the world to me and even though I knew he was bluffing I put things into motion to make this dinner happen.

So after a few private messages on Facebook I find out she would really like to come to Tahoe.  One of the Villas came available over a weekend so I reserved it right away and sent a message that it was available and that it would be a great time to come visit. After talking on the phone twice we confirm on meeting up in Tahoe.  

Here's what happend next.....

Remember I don't have a cell phone so I only can get messages from WiFi spots so I don't get messages every second of my life. For me I check them once a day. It's an experiment I am doing for a year to see if it keeps me more present with my friends who are around me.  I'm 3 months in so far and loving it......  And she knew this!!!!  Please judge me just like she did. 

Later that day I receive this:

I have not taken down any pictures so please go on my Facebook and let me know which ones I should take down if I am serious about wanting to date someone.  Or comment below. 

Now the conversation moves to Facebook........

I don't understand why an apology is needed, can someone please enlighten me?

Just Like You

Over the past year I have noticed that everyone wants you to be just like them just not quite as cool or good or talented as them.  I think its funny but I understand the internal battle we all experience to put ourselves out there when we know we are not quite the best in the group.  Its easy to be the best in your pier group, but not so easy to push yourself and get outside your comfort zone and surround yourself with people who push your limits.  I know I feel exposed, both emotionally and physically whenever I put myself in these type of situations.  The interesting thing about all of this is most people are always projecting their insecurities on you.  Maybe its always less about me and more about them.  Time will either promote your or expose you.

Categorizing People You Meet

Nothing will get me to flip in to arbitrary mode quicker then when someone (especially of the opposite sex) attempts to put me in some category in their mind without really getting to know me.  I know this my sound a bit weird but I think there is so much more to a person then what you may get out of them from your standard get to know you questions.  So I will run you through a scenario in this post and you can call me whatever you want but I don't think you will call me boring or think I am your average or normal conversationalist by the end.

So I remember this time I was at wine bar and this gal started asking me questions, like, "What do you do?"  Now I know this is a standard question that most people ask, and I would say that about 20% really care or are interested in what your actually do, and the rest are just trying to figure out what they can get from you or if you can help them with something they are interested in doing.  NOW I ask people this all the time everyday, but the difference is I am trying to understand how to relate to them, and explain things in a manner they might better understand.  OK so back to the 80% of people that ask this question.  So we will call this gal Becka, and she whats to know, What I Do.....

So my response was, "Well I Snowboard, Wakeboard, Kite Board, Surf, Mt. Bike, Dirt Bike, Race Cars, Skydive, Base Jump, and I love walks on the beach and sunsets or sunrises.  What about you?  Now Becka's response was, "NO I Meant What DO YOU DO?  Now here is where it gets fun, I just stare at her with a "Are You Stupid" look on my face and say nothing...........  Total awkward Silence!  For at least 30 seconds to a minute.

Then you have to look like you had an epiphany, roll your eyes, and loudly say, "OOOOHHH you mean what do I do for monetary compensation?"  Now understand that for the most part some people might not know what "monetary compensation" is and you might just have to roll your eyes again and say "money."  Now here is a little trick, if this person is really into you they won't care and they will be more interested in what you do for fun then what you do for monetary compensation, so if they persist just ask them what they do for fun since you already told them what you do for fun.  This is also another trick, because they could be the most boring person on the planet and not worth the next vibrations from your voice box if they can't answer the question. It's sad but over 80% of our current society globally has no purpose driving their daily actions, and I would say that ratio is greater in the US because most are consumed by pop culture and their jobs.

Having Fun Yet?  Well you have to understand that this type of conversation is going to go bad 80% of the time, but just understand that your sorting for someone that might have other interest then how stable you income is and if you have a retirement plan, or if they will be able to brag to their friends or parents about your title (MD or Dr or PHD or Esq.).  Sometimes you just need to sit back and think to yourself, "What is this person Really asking me?"

So what happened with Becka, well as soon as she could not put me in an income category she flipped out.  All I could do is think to myself is, I am sure glad I was able to find out what she values in her friendships, by taking a conversation in a direction not anticipated or expected by the other party and watching them deal with the unexpected, and the feeling of not being in control.  Better to find it out now then later.  Another way to do this is to push someone out of a plane for the first time, but I will cover that in another post.

In a quick closing note, try this with anyone, see how it goes, leave a comment or share it with a friend, and most of all just have fun with it and stop having the same boring conversations with people because they will keep giving you the same boring relationships.
