The end of commerce among humans on Earth.

A few days ago, an old friend I used to work with contacted me in an email.  He commented on not being able to find me on Facebook or Linked In.  I was kinda happy that I was not able to be found, although he must not have been looking very hard, as I can find myself in about 3 seconds, from anywhere on the internet.  In this short section, I just wanted to comment on the newest of the stupid sites.  "Linked-in"  This site claims to be there for professionals to "network" themselves for the betterment of everyone's professional business path of glory.  Now.... I can not tell you what the paid version is like, but I can tell you that the free version I'm looking at look a lot like myspace meets Match.com.  The ads are just like facebook, gender orientated.  Guys see ads with girls in them, Girls see ads with guys in them.  All the BS "suggestions" are skewed to a 80/20 split.  If you are a guy, "Linkedin" wants to help you make professional connections with 80% woman.  If you are female, it's the opposite.  The bogas recommendations mean nothing and are designed for one thing, to get you to fumble around on the site.  They also want to broadcast every single mouse click to the world.  Yes, if they had their way, they would even broadcast how long, and what your mouse passed over before you clicked to see how in the holy hell any of these people could have any degree of a connection with you.  It's human curiosity to wonder what on earth this site is implying.  It also like facebook has made opting out, impossible.  I mean, I might have the time someday to find the off switch, but in doing so it would still send me emails everyday. And that is why facebook works.....works now anyway.  It will soon die, to be sure.  and I can not wait!!!!

So, enough of that BS.  just another stupid BS site. designed to work using human nature to get in your head.  My advise to anyone is to not let yourself be linked to anything on the net.  I'm hoping that comet comes soon and takes out the grid, wipes out the internet.  yay.  people can make money and go back to work.  Computers are not the future of business, computers are now the means to the end of commerce among humans on Earth.  For every shopping cart you see this year, 100 people lost jobs somewhere last year.

Smart line:

• If you are asked to remove an AC unit from a window this week, ask how long it has been in the window before you say yes, or you will spent 400% more time than you think you will.
• If your house gets broken into, do not paste 8x11 white notebook paper on the doors warning the robbers that you are armed.  The only thing that does is invite people to walk up and read your stupid message, or think it's a "house vacant" sign, and rob you again.
• In light of the non stop reality TV crazy the US has endured for the last 15 years, Breaking Bad is the best show written, watch the final show tonight, it will make you smarter.

broken idea

As I sat there in the shower letting the hot water roll over my broken back...lol, I noticed my legs. Bone brusin, wrapped in scars and scabs.  But one thing I kept noticing over all, in the last few years was that I keep screwing up the exact same points on my body.  I don't notice it for day's, but then I will see where something hit me, or crashed into me, or I it...and bam.

It's been a challenging week.  Many things went wrong, some went right.  Over all, good growth week, but riddled with tests of will.  Energy wise, I'm running lean, making it few to the end, but it's taxing.  Man that truck is like riding in some kind of sick amusement park ride.  All day, bouncing all over, you get in a normal car and you remember that driving shouldn't be exhausting.  It's the local streets.  They are horrible.  When you spend all day driving the back streets of central PA, in a 1/2 ton with extra leaf springs,  it is like a work out in a gym.  I thought to myself mid week, "just because something is paved, does not make it a road.  In some of these side streets, it's like they paved something right out of the woods.  Take the intersection of Louther street and Hummel ave in lemoyne, pa.  You know the light, right after the railroad tracks.  In my truck, you would think you just bought a ride on the scrambler.

Thank god it's Friday I think....the national nightly news just came on, another bad day. Shootings.

Anyway I think I have an invention, along with my others.  I really have to get these patented.  So stupid not to.

Ok, Sally and Ava made cupcakes for nick, and our one dog, tor, will not stop trying to steal cupcakes.  Unreal, complete anarchy.

Sold two great nunchaku last week, that was great, I want to sell more.  I need to get my store seen by more people

The new iPhone , no way.  My iPhone 4s is fine.  It's too small, phones in general.   My fingers are too fat to use a phone to do much more than type a number.

Well, I've only now on the following Tuesday been able to get back to this small writing.  I did think of some other inventions i've had, but at the moment as I read back what I wrote earlier, I can't remember what they are.   On the chopping block I have a number of increasingly complex projects of the utmost importance.

• Fix the exsaust on the 4runner, it is going to be a quick fix, or a pain in my ass.
• Fix the CV axle joint on the MR2.
• Get my rental stuff put out.....again.
• Order oil, somehow.
• Get the titles for the cars in order.
• find out how many lawyers I need to get hired for the various infractions of common sense and decent behavior i've seen in the past week
• order those darn parts.

Holy crap week!..never stop trying

What a week.  non stop fun.  Stress levels off the charts.  I have had some crappy weeks in the past, but this one might take the cake.
It looked kinda clear that I was going to loose both houses this month, then it looked a bit better, and now 3pm Friday, another dead line come and gone, and I'm back to where I started.
I've been working day and night for a company clearing out houses all over central pa, but  unless there are checks in the mail box today, whenever the postman chooses to get here, normally around 5pm, unless we have been paid, I'm looking at the possibility that our contractor was a scam, and instead of making thousands, we lost hundreds and blew the whole work month.
Last night, my laptop dropped, broke the screen.  Now I have  a blue, yellow and red line running down my screen and a big old rip in the base.  I'm so over joyed.
Anyway, I'm entering the weekend back to the grim task of selling everything I can, not that any of it will help, but I have no where to put anything, and stuff has to go.
It is a beautiful day however.  I spent it cleaning up the yard in the rental.  The tenants have not paid the rent, and this is going to cause this house to go too.  I which it wasn't the case but man it is.
It's going to have to go down as the most energy expended since i was 18, working full time 2 days after graduation in high school.

We learned today that most houses that have been given up share many of the same interested similar things in common.  One of them, hundreds or thousands of old lottery tickets, everywhere.  seems people get to the point where the powerball is the plan to save them.  Of course, it doesn't.  The other thing, Christmas stuff.  no matter what, always left behind.  It seems that when you are facing the real street as a place to live, one of the most universal things people throw out is giving a rats ass about Christmas.  Past and future.  It seems to almost be blamed, and I'd bet many times, not spending money at Christmas might have made a difference, hard to tell,

Racks that hold shoes are also "not that important"  when living at the Y.

On top of all that wonderful stuff,  I beat my Dodge Ram to death doing all this.  It's feeling better, but it's not 100%, I need to do some preventative maintenance, but there is not much flash for that.  I think that there is a way, but I also have had my MR2 break an axle 4 minutes after replacing all the brake pads and rotors on Sunday, and on Monday, the 4runner was sent out on an errand, and returned, broken, dead in the water with a dieing fuel pump, and or a new electrical problem.
So one week., lost MR2, 4runner, laptop, 2 houses, what I thought was finally a job, and maybe the transmission in my only working truck. 

I did however find a bag of breaded chicken pieces at Karns for $5.  woot woot.

Me=Watching Silence of the Lambs....

line 1 "It rubs the lotion on it's skin, it does this when ever it's told"
line 2 "it rubs it on it's skin or it gets the hose again..."
line 3 "yes it does precious, or it gets the hose.....  "
line 4 "It places the lotion in the basket......."
line 5 "PUT THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASKET!" - Silence of the Lambs

I am without question at line level 5

I wonderful day like this should not be spent wondering where a person is going to live when that person's arms are too tired to lift the bag of tools he lugs with him everyday to fix all the things that break everyday. 

But wait, as I get ready to hit publish, an email arrives.......  I made my first international nunchaku sale this week to a man in Italy, He received them today, and took the time to write me.:

"Dear Henry,

Thank you very much!

I received the two nunchakus today. Excellent craftsmanship. Excellent products.

I will provide you with more feedback later but I wanted to congratulate with you for the quality of your products!

Regards,

David

Interesting day Ghost Orbs to boot

Lately we have been getting some good jobs closing up repo houses.  Today was by far the most challenging.  It was also full of interesting events.  The first one being that as we arrived at the scene, the bank guy had already opened up the house, and the water guy was on his way.  I entered the house while on the phone with one of the agents, and in walks this guy.

I knew he wasn't with anyone, but he was gambling.  So while in mid sentence he walks towards me looks me dead in the eye, and waits for a facial signal from me.  He goes up to the oven, opens the oven door, and takes out a package. And b lines for the front door right past the bank guy and the water guy, and the city guy who has also just showed up.  

motion

I gave him the conscience choice to have 20 seconds, but the way it all happened out of the blue start to finish in 20 seconds was crazy. 

things floating in the camera

I'm going to have to get my carry permit renewed.  These houses are over run with drug addicts who break in and live there in filth.

I was then a super star by completing the act of locking my keys in the truck when we came back from the dump the first time.  That was fun.  But the most interesting part was a set of photos I took in the cleared out basement.

There is no power, so we had to work in the dark in this room in the basement, but when I took the clear photos, I noticed all this stuff flying in in all directions on the camera screen.  You could not see it with the naked eye, at all.  I tried to take one photos, but the lite video shows it the best.  It was creepy.  I got it on film however.  It was like all these lines of motion and floaty things.

This next part was shot on my iPhone video, it shows what i was seeing.  They looks like orbs, and the camera was catching them, but there were so many, it's hard to see them all.
