<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Arafat feared acknowledging the existence of a Jewish connection.

<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>There is no tangible evidence of Jewish existence from the so-called 'Temple Mount Era'. . . . The location of the Temple Mount is in question. . . . It might be in Jericho or somewhere else. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Immediately after Israeli soldiers occupied Arab East Jerusalem back in 1967, the Hebrew University, the Israeli Ministry of Religious Affairs, and the Department of Antiquities collectively and individually began a massive excavation campaign in Arab East Jerusalem in a bid to find allocate traces of Jewish existence from the so called 'Temple Mount Era.' </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The fact of the matter is that almost thirty years of excavations did not reveal anything Jewish, no tangible evidence of theirs was unearthed. Much to their chagrin, what surfaced from their underground excavations turned out to be more Muslim palaces, courts and mosques. Other excavations revealed archeological ruins belonging to the Romans, Greeks and Canaanites... </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>...To give credibility to these claims, and to translate the ingenious falsified historical accounts of the city in order for them to obtain worldwide authenticity, they[Israeli archeologists and authorities] decided to manipulate connect the history of Jerusalem as they want it to be seen by the world, and to present it in a way acceptable to contemporary thinking of everyday people... </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>...Jerusalem is not a Jewish city, despite the biblical myth implanted in some minds. Nothing tangible has been found to give credibility to these claims. </span></span></p>

In 1997, he proclaimed: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The Al-Buraq Wall [Western Wall] and its plaza are a Muslim religious property, and the Israeli government’s decisions do not affect it…The Al-Buraq Wall is part of the Al Aqsa Mosque. The Jews have no relation to it. (</span><i><span>Al Ayam</span></i><span>, Nov. 22, 1997) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>In 2000, he reiterated this in an Israeli-Arab weekly:: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>No stone of the Al-Buraq [the Western] Wall has any relation to Judaism. [</span><i><span>Kul Al-Arab</span></i><span>, August 18, 2000] </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>And a few months later, he gave an interview to a German daily in which he again asserted: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>There is not [even] the smallest indication of the existence of a Jewish Temple on this place in the past. In the whole city, there is not even a single stone indicating Jewish history... The Jews cannot legitimately claim [the Western] wall, neither religiously nor historically. The Committee of the League of Nations recommended in 1930, to allow the Jews to pray there, in order to keep them quiet. But by no means did it acknowledge that the wall belongs to them. [</span><i><span>Die Welt</span></i><span>, January 17, 2001] </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>In 2002, Sabri wrote a booklet, entitled Palestine – the Human Factor and the Land which was published in Egypt in August 2002. In it, he used as evidence the anti-Semitic forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"to support his allegation that the Jews have for centuries been secretly plotting to take over Palestine. He denied any Jewish historic connection and right to the land, labelling the Jewish Temple built by Solomon as "imaginary." </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Tayseer Tamimi, Chief Religious Justice of the PA </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The Palestinian Authority's chief religious official, Tayseer Tamimi frequently speaks at public events and on Palestinian TV. In a televised interview on June 9, 2009, he demonized Jews, denying Jewish heritage and ties to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>I know of Muslim and Christian holy sites in [Jerusalem]. I don't know of any Jewish holy sites in it... Israel has been excavating since 1967 in search of remains of their Temple or their fictitious Jewish history. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Reversing history and turning truth on its head, he accused Jews of falsely converting the "Al Buraq" wall into a Jewish site. </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>When the Prophet [Muhammad] entered Jerusalem, after landing with his 'riding animal' in the Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, he tied it to the western wall, which is known today [by Muslims] as the al-Buraq Wall, and which the Jews usurped by falsification and deception [saying it is the Western Wall of the Temple]. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>He made absurd allegations about Jewish scientific attempts to destroy Arab holy sites: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The [Israeli] excavations' purpose is to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In fact, its foundations have been removed. Chemical acids were injected into the rocks to dissolve them. The soil and the pillars [were moved] so the mosque is hanging in midair. There is an Israeli plan to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to build the Temple. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>3) Palestinian Academics </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Palestinian academics, using their credentials to lend weight to their claims–often on Palestinian educational TV– have frequently denied the Jewish historical connection to the land, replacing it with a fictitious Arab connection. According to them, the Bible has no historical veracity. Palestinians, they claim, are the direct descendents of Canaanites, while Jews, they say, are descendents of Khazars who have no claim to the land. </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Dr. Issam Sissalem, Professor of Middle Eastern History at the Islamic University of Gaza, frequently appears on PA television, denying any Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>About Solomon’s Temple, he asserts: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>This is the biggest lie in history by those liars. (PA TV, Oct. 8, 2001) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>There is no historical text that proves the existence [of Solomon’s Temple] or that it has a real history other than the Bible, and the Bible as we have previously mentioned… was written based on ancient legends. (PA TV, Aug. 2, 2004) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>And about the Western Wall, he claims: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>That's the place where Muhammad went to Heaven and is part of Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Zionist enemy falsely claims that this wall is part of the so-called temple. This is a deceitful lie. {PA TV, Oct. 8, 2001) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>In fact, Sissalem attempts to erase all Jewish connection to the Land of Israel: </span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>As I've already said, the ancient Hebrews were destroyed. Utterly decimated. Actually, they were foreigners in this land. They were primitive Bedouin from the Arabian Desert. This land is ours. Jerusalem, and every one of her stones, are ours. {PA TV, Oct. 8, 2001) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>I want to point out that we should not focus much on what is called the [Biblical] Hebrew tribes, who are in fact Bedouin – Arab tribes. There is no connection between them and these Khazar Jews [of Israel today]. (Aug. 2, 2004) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The Jews lived in isolated areas, in ghettos in Poland and in Russia. They were the remains of the Khazars with no connection to our land or its history ... (PA TV, Nov. 21, 2004) </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Historian and former Arafat advisor Jarar al Qidwa makes similar assertions:</span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Solomon’s Temple, I believe, was built by the Canaanites who were the neighbors of the Israelis, the Israelites... I want to state several words clearly: the Bible became an archival document, not representing what the Israelis and the first Jews were, but what they thought they were, what they imagined. The Temple is the fruit of their imagination. In any case, when our nation or our Canaanite forefathers came to Palestine, they built the Temple… a temple in Jerusalem... </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>...The issue of the temple is a Zionist innovation. No one said that the temple that was built in Jerusalem, neither the Canaanite nor Roman, no one said that it was in the place of the [Islamic] Al Haram." (PA TV, Aug. 2, 2004) </span></span></p>
<blockquote><div><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p></div></blockquote>
<h4><span style="color:#808080;"><span>4) Other Arab and Muslim Claims</span></span></h4>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The attempt to erase the Jewish connection to Israel is not limited to the Palestinians. The extent to which this denial has caught on in the Arab and Muslim world was revealed in Yitzhak Reiter’s study (in Hebrew) which was based on thousands of Islamic legal rulings, proclamations and writings that he found at the Cairo book fair, Arabic websites and Islamic bookshops. (</span><i><span>Ha’aretz</span></i><span> columnist Nadav Shragai summarized some of Reiter’s findings in a November 27, 2005 column entitled "</span></span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=650192" target="_blank"><span style="color:#808080;"><span>In the beginning was Al-Aqsa</span></span></a><span style="color:#808080;"><span>.") </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Below are just a few of many examples since 1967: </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>On December 30, 1973, King Feisal of Saudi Arabia proclaimed on Radio Riyadh </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The Jews have no connection whatsoever with Jerusalem and have no sacraments there. They cliam that the Temple of Solomon is there...The Temple of Solomon does not exist in Jerusalem...Therefore the Jews have no connection or right to have any presence in Jerusalem, or any authority there. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Saudi historian Muhammed Hassan Sharab declares that the Quranic Al Aqsa mosque encompasses the entire Temple Mount compound including the Western Wall and that the Temple of Solomon was never located there. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Egyptian archaeologist Abed al-Rahim Rihan Barakat, Director of Antiquities in the Dahab area of Sinai. Barakat asserts: </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The legend about the Jewish temple is the greatest historic crime of forgery. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>University of Cairo lecturer and one-time TV host Abed al-Tuwab Mustafa claims that there is no basis for the Jewish claim of a holy Temple on Mount Moriah. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi, Professor Emeritus at the American University of Beirut theorizes that ancient Israelites never inhabited Palestine and that biblical events occurred, not in Palestine but in southwestern Arabia, between Mecca and Yemen. He expounds upon this theory in a1985 book, </span><i><span>The Bible Came from Arabia</span></i><span>, basing his claims on the fact that many places in Arabia bear biblical names. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>In the U.S., Nadia Abu El Haj, a tenured professor of Anthropology at Barnard College, wrote a book alleging that Israeli archeology is compromised by nationalist political motives to substantiate the nation’s "origin myth." Although she has no archeological expertise herself, she dismisses the vast archeological evidence supporting historical and biblical accounts of the long Jewish presence in Israel as having been manipulated in order to produce evidence for an Israelite connection to the land. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<h4><span style="color:#808080;"><span>5) Claims that Al Aqsa Mosque was built by Adam</span></span></h4>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>In recent years, differing new claims have arisen as to who built the Al Aqsa mosque. Almost all these claims predate Solomon’s construction of the First Jewish Temple in 954 BCE. But the allegation gaining the most currency among Muslims is that this mosque was built by Adam. Abdullah Marouf, a former Media and Public Relations Officer of the al-Aqsa mosque now runs a </span></span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.ouraqsa.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Web site</span></span></a><span style="color:#808080;"><span> devoted to the Al Aqsa mosque providing English readers with the rewritten "history" of the structure: </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span> </span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>The first building of al-Aqsa mosque was done by Prophet Adam (PBUH), then it has been renovated and rebuilt many times, one of them was by Prophet Sulayman (Solomon) (PBUH), but his building of al-Aqsa was only a renovation of the mosque, not a first-time building. Therefore, we cannot say that Prophet Sulayman was the one who BUILT al-Aqsa mosque, but we can say that he (PBUH) RENOVATED or REBUILT the mosque.</span></span></p></blockquote>
</blockquote><p><span style="color:#808080;"><span>Western journalists must find it difficult to understand an Arab revisionist history that rejects and denies basic truths accepted in the Judeo-Christian tradition. And so they tend to dismiss or ignore it. But understanding Arab denial of Judaism's foundation and therefore Israel's right to exist is essential to understanding the entire Arab-Israeli peace process."</span></span></p><p><span style="color:#808080;"> </span></p><p><span>So it would seem that what we have here is a massive stalemate. One that intellects from all sides have opined over for what seems like all of history. </span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://americanvision.org/3820/why-dome-of-the-rock-is-better-than-a-rebuilt-temple/" target="_blank"><span>Here's</span></a><span> another article I just finished reading as well, in which the writer makes his case that The Dome of the Rock is good enough, and that a future Temple should never be built there, and that's that - thanks for coming out.</span></p><p><span>On the other side, some would argue, "Heck, you have all of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, UAE, etc etc, why can't you just let Israel have this one strip of land?"</span></p><p><span>But the problem goes much deeper than that. And even the most basic understanding of the Palestinian - Israeli/"Jewish" situation realizes that this is not just a simple matter of land lust. This isn't just any land, this is </span><i><span>THE </span></i><span>land, the focal point for a handful of World religions (including Islam itself, as noted earlier when qibla [prayer direction] was due East).</span></p><p><span>Adding to this cluster of love are the ongoing attacks, be they false-flag or not, and the subsequent revenge killings which lead to further attacks, which lead to revenge killings. Tell me you wouldn't be angry if someone from a neighbouring and hostile people killed your parents. Of course you would be angry. And this has been going on for thousands of years, and in cramped land at that.</span></p><p><span>At this point in your reading you may be expecting me to offer some solutions to this problem. While I may offer my half-penny towards the end, I do so while fully recognizing the minds that have made this their full-time job throughout history, the politician and clergy, special interest and the hopeful mind alike. I realize my place on the totem pole of significance.</span></p><p><span>You know, there actually already exists a group of people who are dedicated to rebuilding the Israeli Temple on the foundation where The Dome of The Rock currently stands. Click </span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.templeinstitute.org/about.htm" target="_blank"><span>here</span></a><span> and see for yourself.</span></p><p><span>You may be able to imagine, given the information I've already laid out here in this article, that if The Temple Institute were to be even close to successful, all Islam worldwide would go ballistic. Short of a miracle, we'd have a full scale jihad and imam's issuing fatwa's all over the place. It probaby wouldn't be good times, put it that way. But these are the times we live in, and so it stands that as of right now - all of Judaism prays daily for the Temple to be rebuilt, and all of Islam firmly and continuously whispers, "No." Followed by an, "Allah akbarh."</span></p><p><span>While those who wait for a Messiah continue on waiting for some answer from above, the political and religious leaders, backed by the geo-financing war profiteers and ultra-elite scheme away, pitting one group against another, fomenting crisis (but not </span><i><span>too</span></i><span> much crisis), and we in the West watch on, half hoping, half helpless.</span></p><p><span>Part of me wants to repeat something I read a long time ago when I was first faced with this glaring elephant in the room of the Middle East section of Earth dilemna we call 'The Temple Mount Situation', it went something like this...</span></p><p><span>"If Christians really wanted to see their Messiah and have the end of the World come - they'd start building the Temple. If Jew's really want to see their Maschiach come - build the Temple. If Muslims really want their religion to be proven the only right one when Isa the Islamic Messiah returns - build the Temple. If they're all just in fear of their fate, or if they don't actually believe what they teach - do nothing."</span></p><p><span>The other part of me knows the consequences of wishing like that, and as I said earlier, I'd sooner remain unopinioned on the matter.</span></p><p><span>Yet still, the other part in me that desperately wants something to change in the Middle East after all these years of endless conflict will allow for that previous quote about this linchpin of destiny to remain.</span></p>

Artificial Intelligence Writes Me An Article on The Benifits of Veganism
<p>Article written by <a contents="ChatGPT" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/" target="_blank">ChatGPT</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Veganism is a lifestyle and dietary choice that involves abstaining from the use of animal products in any form. This includes avoiding meat, dairy, eggs, and any other products that are derived from animals. While some people choose to adopt a vegan lifestyle for ethical or environmental reasons, there are also many health benefits to be gained from following a vegan diet. </p>
<p>One of the most significant benefits of veganism is the reduction of risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Studies have shown that vegans have lower rates of these diseases than meat-eaters, and that a plant-based diet can help to improve blood sugar control and lower cholesterol levels. This is likely due to the fact that vegan diets are typically high in fiber, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds that are found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. </p>
<p>Another benefit of veganism is that it can help with weight loss. Many people find that they lose weight on a vegan diet, as plant-based foods are typically lower in calories and fat than animal products. Additionally, the fiber in plant-based foods can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied, which can make it easier to stick to a healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight. </p>
<p>A vegan diet can also be beneficial for the environment. Animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. By reducing or eliminating the consumption of animal products, vegans can help to reduce their own environmental impact and support more sustainable food systems. </p>
<p>In addition to these health and environmental benefits, veganism can also have a positive impact on animal welfare. The production of animal products often involves inhumane conditions for the animals, such as overcrowding and lack of access to the outdoors. By choosing not to participate in this industry, vegans can help to reduce the demand for these products and support more ethical farming practices. </p>
<p>Adopting a vegan lifestyle can also be a great way to improve overall health and well-being. Veganism is known to improve moods, decrease anxiety and depression, improve cognitive function, and increase energy levels. </p>
<p>It is important to note that a vegan diet should be well-planned and balanced in order to ensure that all necessary nutrients are obtained. Vegans need to pay special attention to their intake of B12, iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients can be found in fortified foods or supplements. However, with a little effort and planning, it is easy to obtain all of the necessary nutrients on a vegan diet. </p>
<p>In conclusion, veganism offers numerous benefits for both personal and global well-being. From reducing the risk of chronic diseases to promoting sustainable food systems, a vegan lifestyle can have a positive impact on our health, the environment, and animal welfare. It is important to note that a well-planned vegan diet can provide all the necessary nutrients for a healthy life. With more and more people becoming aware of the benefits of veganism, it is likely that this lifestyle choice will continue to gain popularity in the future.</p>

The Coolest Person I Know
<p><span class="font_small"><strong>*Original article written December 2011. </strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let me tell you about the coolest person I know.</p>
<p>You know, I've never sat down and told this story. I'm actually getting emotional right now just trying to think of where to start.</p>
<p>I hope you have someone in your life that you can relate all this to. Someone who makes you feel like you can do anything. Someone who actually believes in you. Someone who will always be there for you. I hope for everyone's sake that they have someone as special as this man is to me.</p>
<p>"Coolest" isn't even the right word. The smartest, most loving, most caring, most "wealthy"- in every sense of the word, most truly spiritual, most intelligent person I know. That would be a good start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/93086091ffcb30486dc3b708925c6e295975d382/original/20200623-130259.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Doesn't look like much though right? Not exactly what you picture when you read all my compliments? You don’t know him from any movies, you’ve probably never even heard of him. And yet, this is probably the single most influential person in my life outside of whatever you’d call a ‘Higher Power’/The Universe. He's not a musician, he's not an actor, he's not a President, and he never started any religion.</p>
<p>Let’s go back in time.</p>
<p>I’ve written before about how I moved out early, got a job at a Volvo dealership washing cars, sort of lost my mind, headed out East, then ultimately made my ‘peace' with myself and with “God” and moved back to Ontario. That’s probably a good place for this story to start. I'm 17 years old.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/f334e225d3b527ea62fe2fe27119fea395c30a64/original/hugeadamyfc.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>While I was at that Volvo dealership I was inundated with work. We moved a <em>lot</em> of cars there. Volvo, Subaru, Suzuki, and used cars as well. One of the busiest car dealerships I’ve ever seen actually. The owner has since passed away at a remarkably young age I might add. Regardless, we were busy. So busy that I couldn’t keep up with my deliveries, with prepping the vehicles to be picked up by their respective owners. So what did we do? We outsourced. We needed a place that we could rely on, that would pick up the cars, detail them and make them look completely perfect, then deliver them back to us so I could do a final once-over on them before they wound up in our customers hands. This is how I met Aziz.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/d6d94ef07c20f44f6dfb804bf49980b5f9f210ad/original/20200623-124540.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Aziz had moved to Canada from Peshawar province of NWFP (now KPK). He came to Canada in hopes of a better future for his family. He and other brothers, along with their respective wives and young children came as well, with his older brother Jay coming to Canada a few years prior. Aziz has three kids. At that point though, back in the mid-90's, he had only one young boy.</p>
<p>He comes from a middle-class conservative Muslim family, a family a little more well-off than others in Pakistan during their time growing up. Aziz himself was interested in infrastructure building, general construction and contracting. The family business was… business. Not limited to one particular thing. It’s safe to say that Aziz brought that same philosophy with him when he moved.</p>
<p>In Pakistan, Aziz studied business and also became a licensed veterinarian. He did Veterinary Medican and acheived his Masters in Agriculture while he was at University. He worked at Nestle for some time. He had pet monkeys and all sorts of various animals on his property. He went through many different business ventures before ultimately deciding to immigrate to Canada. He delivered milk, he dug roads, he built bridges, and he managed hundreds of employees and had entire families depending solely on his business to eat their every meal. See the irrigation system below? Look it up, he built that.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/07c7775e4028d182c802b474b3507e8b02dd8ea5/original/img-20200817-wa0000-2.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>He had his own cook, his own bodyguards, his own chauffeurs, and his own servants. In Pakistan labour was and still is relatively cheap. And being from a middle-class family, having servants wasn’t actually that big of a deal in Pakistan. He lived in major cities of Pakistan such as Multan, DGKhan, and Lahore, in the province of Punjab. Lora Lai, Musa Khail Dera Bugti in Baluchistan and Karachi in the Sind province. Before moving to Canada he was living in Lahore.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/02c3d6732960a7b17ee31641c01cdc71db0ffded/original/screenshot-20200623-115811-2.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>So after moving from Pakistan to Canada, Aziz joined his brother in business at the oil change centre. And then they added another. Then they added on a car clean-up business. And they also added other businesses of common type as the years went on.</p>
<p>I met Aziz through fate. I met Aziz because the promotion I received was a result of the person I replaced getting fired for blatant drug use, and I couldn’t handle the entire workload on my own. I met Aziz because he and his brother wanted our business. We dealt with Aziz and his brother because they did good work, they were punctual, they were respectful, and they were polite. This was the beginning of a life-long friendship, although I didn’t know it at the time. Far from it. I definitely wasn't in the market for an adopted dad at the time. I was a pissed off teenager that left home and wanted to get as far away from my parents as possible.</p>
<p>As you may know, car salesmen can be sort of… different. Not only did I know nothing about Islam when I was 17, I actually thought Aziz was a Hindu. What’s more, the bulk of our time was spent making fun of him behind his back whenever he happened to be making a pick-up or delivery.</p>
<p>“<em>Oh by the many hands of Allahjujubar, here comes Aziz with another slippery car for us to get out that smell of curry from!</em>”</p>
<p>What makes that part hurt even more today is that he is more man than I could ever hope to be, so much so that he doesn’t even care that I was ignorant enough to mock him like that in my teens. I’ve told him what I’m telling you now - and believe me - he feels sorry for how stupid I was. He's far above petty things like racist insults. That, and I love curried <em>anything</em> nowadays.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Moving along.</p>
<p>So there was a lot of work to be done. Cars needed cleaning and souls needed mending. Over the 2 ½ years that I worked for the dealership, Aziz and I got to talking. I got to trying some of the food he had brought for the staff. I warmed up to him. So much so that he asked me if I wanted to work for him on the side, which is what I wound up doing. I’d work 7am - 6pm Monday to Saturday at the dealership, and then I’d work weekends for Aziz for cash on the side, cleaning the same vehicles that I'd then deliver throughout the week. Sometimes we’d clean five a day. On average it was a few every weekend. He started me out at $25 per car. I could completely detail a car in 3-4 hours, so that wasn’t so bad for a 17 year old I figured. </p>
<p>Interesting side note, I was audited by the Canadian Government after my first year of doing taxes. </p>
<p>Obviously there are entire parts of my teens and early 20’s where I was "doing my own thing"; partying, playing in bands, travelling, drinking, “living”… but I never broke contact with Aziz. I always somehow wound up back working with him. We never lost touch. No matter where in the World he or I was.</p>
<p>When I got married at 21 he was my best man. If I ever get married again, he will be my best man.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/c88fd0074c4119f5b0f3eba9f3b319a53c7e4be8/original/picture-036.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>I know everything about Aziz. And whatever I don’t know, it’s not for lack of trying, it’s because he is smarter than I am and likes to keep some things to himself. He took me under his wing as an adopted son when I was 17. My birth parents divorced and live in separate cities. He has been like a Dad to me ever since we met. I learned some Urdu so I could try to impress him. I nick-named him “Abu-bai” (Father-brother). He calls me his son. He actually gave me the nick-name "Adams'', if you wanted to know where that came from. My interest in religion lead me to endlessly questioning him and his brother about Islam for years on end. Poor guys. He took me to a mosque every Friday for a year during 2001. And thanks to that, I now know quite a few Muslims.</p>
<p>Aziz is like a Pakistani Bruce Wayne. He is so much more than meets the eye it is unreal. He obviously speaks more than one language, he is highly educated, well traveled, and one of the most kind-hearted people I know. He gives to people who don't deserve it and keeps his word to his own hurt.</p>
<p>I was rooting through one of our desks once, probably 10 years ago, and found a few of his passports lying around. A <em>few</em>. Fully stamped. From all over the World. And when I asked him about it, he just smiled. He never goes out of his way to brag to you. He doesn’t tell you that he is smarter than you. He doesn’t need to prove to you that he’s been more places than you.</p>
<p><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/c5171baa964f86e86c3a50e2925604916c3112ce/original/br-mirtcyaaescj-resized.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>One time we were at a Canadian Tire, shopping for a toolbox for one of our contractors. The girl at the register hands him back Canadian Tire Money and he says, “what’s this?” So there’s the cashier trying to explain to some Pakistani what Canadian Tire Money is, and he's playing stupid and asks, “so I am a millionaire now then?” to which she didn’t know what to say other than to start over and try to explain the whole concept again. When we were in the parking lot I asked him why he had played stupid, why put the girl on? Why confirm people’s racist ideas of Pakistanis? He'd probably been in Canada longer than the cashier had been alive, he knew what Canadian Tire Money was. He said to me, “Adam, I’m looking for that spark, I’m looking for intelligence.” He blew my mind. He still does. I could tell you stories like that for days.</p>
<ul> <li>His wife made me Pakistani food pretty much every day for two years because they knew I loved it.</li> <li>He visited me while I was in the <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_catheter_diaries/" target="_blank">hospital last year</a> and made sure to take care of anything I needed while I was unable to be at work.</li> <li>Before we both quit smoking, he'd special order his brand from Pakistan. I don't know if he knows this, but I was the reason why he was always running out so fast.</li> <li>Last year he paid for my trip to <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/albums/k505/AdamJosh/California%202010/" target="_blank">California </a>to reunite with my American family.</li> <li>He writes roofing quotes in my name because he is well aware how racist some people can be.</li> <li>Before my <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/grandparents/" target="_blank">Grandmother</a> passed away he strongly advized me to go visit her, she died two weeks later, and I am very thankful that I was able to say goodbye to her.</li> <li>I'm typing this on a computer that he gave me, wearing boots he ordered me from his friends factory, staying warm in a winter jacket he used to wear.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>We started two businesses together that still operate today; a carpet cleaning company, and the tire shop (which some of you reading this will know about). We run a duct and furnace cleaning business, a roofing business, the same car detailing business I've already mentioned, and a few others that I won't mention. Up until a few weeks ago we were operating the only Auto Trader outpost in the area since 2008. And vehicles? He has an entire fleet. He has given more money to more charities than anyone I know. He has done <em>real</em> philanthropic work, not the kind you see on TV, but the real kind. Like going to a widow’s house and having it renovated for her and then having one of his staff cut her lawn all summer, rake leaves all Fall, and shovel snow all winter. He has given people vehicles, visited and bailed people out of jail, arranged entire marriages and funerals, singlehandedly supported families, housed friends in need, and has always been available 24/7 to those whom he loves. As a matter of fact, he's at a wedding in Pakistan right now, and I just got off the phone with him two hours ago here, which would have made it 3am there. I knew he was sleeping. He knew I knew. He still answered, and we still had a great chat. And I’ve done the same for him.</p>
<p>So if he’s in Pakistan, then who’s running his businesses right now you ask? The same person who always takes care of his interests when he’s away. The same person who owes him more than he cares to admit. The same person who will be taking care of Aziz and his family until he has no strength left in his body to do so, and maybe after. The same person who for the last fifteen years has looked up to Aziz as a father figure, a true friend, a mentor and a teacher.</p>

<p>We floated in the salth bath as well. My favourite part of that was bouncing back and forth of the edges while floating. </p>

<p>It's been a while since I was suspended from Twitter!</p>
<p>Today starts what they're saying will be a 7 day suspension for the following Tweet:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>"Yeah man, the culling hasn't even started yet. Put aluminum in a microwave and see for yourself what's going to happen inside the blood cells of all the quintuple-vaccinated normies bathing in 5G."</em></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/09de449158393e59b403f118e99be97d15a8f9b2/original/screenshot-20220719-144932.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shout-out to my pal Lee Galman, who hosts <a contents="The Quash Podcast" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/aa4daaa7-f2ca-4195-bf3e-fd56315c87fb/the-quash" target="_blank">The Quash Podcast</a>. Check it out sometime!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyhow, honestly, after everything that's already come out, would you even be surprised if/when I am proven 100% accurate about the tinfoil in a microwave analogy? </p>
<p>I don't regret saying what I said, and it really shows where we're at - 2 years into this - that platforms like Twitter and their <a contents="trolls" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://this-person-does-not-exist.com/en" target="_blank">trolls</a> are policing my speech (not any pictures or video that I posted) - while allowing all sorts of porn, violence and dictators/murderers to use their platform. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But hey, I won't complain anymore. I've said before that it's their platform and they make the rules. </p>
<p>So it is what it is.</p>
<p>I'm not making another account or using an alt.</p>
<p>If/when they finally ban me there as @AdamJoshDotCom, I'm not coming back. I've been on Twitter since it started, and if this is how it has to end then that's fine by me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But hopefully I'll see you all there after the 26th of July, 2022 at this point. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Take care!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Adam</p>

Lock Picking Vegan
<p>Howdy.</p>
<p>This last year has been crazy right? </p>
<p>So with the newfound free time I've had, I have learned how to; invest in crypto (and lose money so far), maintain my stock portfolio myself (instead of mutual funds managed by my bank), <a contents="play piano" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGgbOdfewM0" target="_blank">play piano</a> (we bought a piano), and also pick locks!</p>
<p>Lock picking is something that's always been on the back burner of my mind to do, as it relates to the automotive industry, which I was apart of before all this (waves around).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I was in my teens I learned how to break into almost any vehicle with a wedge and mallet, or a coat hanger, so I never actually had to admit to a customer that I lost their keys in their cars!</p>
<p>That alone worked well enough all these years. But lock picking is something I've always been interested in. </p>
<p>So I'm about 10 videos in to a new series called <a contents="Lock Picking Vegan" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAyF2FYOL74&list=PL416yPtvqLxFx6anbu6aCm62cZ7MZO8Yc" target="_blank">Lock Picking Vegan</a>. </p>
<p>Fun for the whole family!</p>
<p><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="cNZMW4T8zMk" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/cNZMW4T8zMk/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cNZMW4T8zMk?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>
<p>Hope you enjoy. </p>

Becoming Like Water - Dissolving The Kingdom
<p> </p>
<p>Hello beautiful souls,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is an important message downloaded for you during my personal meditations this last while;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are doing the work, and have been doing the work. </p>
<p>The shadow work, the inside work, all of the work. </p>
<p>Some of it has been tough.</p>
<p>Some of it has been easy. </p>
<p>Like building tolerance or muscle over time - the lightweights of old seem like child's play. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you may be able to tell, the custodians of this realm are responding to us waking up. </p>
<p>The walls and bars of the realm seem to be getting closer and closer.</p>
<p><br>And as dark as it may seem to be getting, we know that this is how it was always to be. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The contractions are getting stronger and the birthing process is about to give way to a new birth. </p>
<p>I know you've heard and know these things but I have decided to publish a new vision... </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Us and those like us have been working towards "Exiting The Matrix" for some time now. We were woke and heading towards the Exit. </p>
<p>Some of us were intent on staying and improving the Matrix. Some reasoned that we should do our best to improve the house we're in before we leave it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/d592e029d854fe28dc39eae5e7eebc6d3d7414e1/original/img-20200404-wa0000.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" />Remember the 2020 vibes? Remember how 2020 was going to be lit? </p>
<p>How did we know that? <br>We all knew but how? </p>
<p>We were not wrong. The best is yet to come. These dark days are leading somewhere. The new thing is about to be born. It will indeed be lit. But how? </p>
<p>This is the vision I want to share. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>No one gave me this, and I'm not copying this down from anyone elses notes. </p>
<p>Instead of making this place better as best we can, I feel we are outgrowing it. The walls feel like they're closing in for that reason. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's not our destiny to fix up this place forever. The time for renovations of this old house are coming to an end. </p>
<p>Like sandcastles on the beach, we all, collectively, together with our Higher Selves and consciousness - we are changing this reality. We are deciding a new thing. </p>
<p>And this is it, that instead of one by one exiting the Matrix - we are completely dissolving the Matrix. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Us and those like us will cause this entire common reality to shift into something new. </p>
<p>We are not helping the old gods to spruce their farm up anymore. We're moving out of dads house and doing something ourselves. </p>
<p>These bodies will change, and have changed. And so will this entire realm. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are outgrowing this place, so we shall dissolve it entirely. No more tests, no more judgments, no more heavens and hells, preachers and teachers. Enough is enough. </p>
<p>We shall dissolve this entire creation and leave only the truth to remain - that we are all living beings in a social commons ground. </p>
<p>We incarnated into this realm of someone else's design - and never before has it been done like this, but we are doing it nonetheless. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We aren't waiting to make a deal anymore. We aren't waiting for angels or devil's to intervene. We are collapsing and dissolving this entire reality. Leaving only the truth and pure love to remain. </p>
<p>This is what is happening. This is the vision. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is why the system is cranky </p>
<p>This is why things seem so dark. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Join me and those like me in this vision and in daily meditation. </p>
<p>We are dismantling the whole apparatus from inside. Like a sandcastle washed away - we are withdrawing our energy and consent from this realm. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Never before has it been done </p>
<p>Yet we will it, and this will be something amazing to live through. </p>
<p>We will be told it is impossible, and we definitely will be messed with. They'll try to stop us, but our strength isn't here in their system. Their system won't even exist soon. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Join us, and let's do this. </p>
<p>We're done with fear, done with attachments to this place. Done trying to improve a flawed design. We are onto better things. </p>
<p>We mustn't be worried about these bodies - they will become a new vessel. We will see each other as we really are. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And we will decide a new fate. <br>Let it be so. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We can make this happen and are making it happen. </p>
<p>This is the vision. </p>
<p>The 2020 vibes are back. <br>Come what may. <br>None shall stop us on our journey. <br>None. <br> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>🗝️Here's the keys make <a contents="this" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://youtu.be/wvJAgrUBF4w" target="_blank">this</a> happen. </p>
<p>Two daily meditations: </p>
<p>🙏One, for yourself. To exit through the doorway. </p>
<p>The #1111meditation <br>Every day at 11:11 your local time. </p>
<p>🙏Two, for this realm, the new 2020 Vision I shared: </p>
<p>#2020meditation <br>Everyday at 2020 hours, military time.</p>
<p>Meditations don't need hashtags, but I'm sharing these to let you see for yourself that we've already been knowing & already been doing the work for years. </p>
<p>This is what it was leading towards. These are the 'big guns'. </p>
<p>It's time. <br>Become like water. <br>Dissolve the kingdom. <br>🙏🥰</p>

The Morning Banana Show #76 COVID-19 Updates with Civilian X
<p>Hello again everyone, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My last Morning Banana Show was also about the COVID-19 situation, and you can watch it here: <a contents="The Morning Banana Show #75 Coronavirus" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://adamjosh.com/blog/blog/the-morning-banana-show-75-coronavirus">The Morning Banana Show #75 Coronavirus</a></p>
<p>I feel like a lot has happened in two weeks, so I wanted to do an update on this topic. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not one for constantly saying the same things over and over, and I'd rather not be in this position, but I feel like for the people (I know you're out there) who listen to me (for whatever reason) I wanted to let them know where my head is at. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My friend Civilian X from the Southern United States joins us today to discuss things from his point of view. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="G9vjvlD-MVQ" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/G9vjvlD-MVQ/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G9vjvlD-MVQ?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>
<p>The YouTube video runs about 20 minutes long - if you'd like to join us for the after-party (where we loosened up a bit) then you'll have to watch the remaining half hour on the <a contents="The Periscope Livestream" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.pscp.tv/AdamJoshDotCom/1nAKEZYByNRGL?t=4s">Periscope Livestream</a>. </p>

Morning Banana #30 April Fools
<p> </p>
<p>The Globalists are the fools. The joke is on you if you think the Earth is a ball. </p>
<p>Don't believe me? See for yourself. The first picture of Earth from a satellite in space was produced on April 1st, 1960. And it still hosted that way to this day on NASA's website. </p>

🎶Stickers
<p>It's a bit of a long story, but I was given a nickname on social media by a group of trolls that shill for ball-Earth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I turned the nickname into a song!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy.</p>

<p>I hate you when you're with me</p>
<p>And I love you when you leave me</p>
<p>I'd drive across this continent to see you and my babies</p>
<p>Because I'm beautiful and you're ugly</p>
<p>And you're sad when you're not with me</p>
<p>My love is strong and yours is weak</p>
<p>so come and kneel before me</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But your actions make me doubt you</p>
<p>So I fly away without you</p>
<p>I'm an artist and a teacher</p>
<p>you're just sitting in the bleachers</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I wanted you to be the center of my world</p>
<p>I wanted you to lava me like no other girl</p>
<p>But you're just not at my level and could you imagine that</p>
<p>My Earth is flat</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hate you when you're with me</p>
<p>And I love you when you leave me</p>
<p>I'd drive across this continent to rescue my whole family</p>
<p>Because I'm lonely and you're angry</p>
<p>Let's just face it - we're not 20</p>
<p>You took our kids and YouTube sees I'm not exactly making money</p>
<p>but I'll send Bitcoin when I'm ready</p>

Turning 37
<p> </p>
<p>Well hello there!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's definitely been a minute. </p>
<p>Last blog found me moving Désirée and the kids back to Ontario during the <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/blog/fredericton_floods" target="_blank">Fredericton Flood</a> of 2018. </p>
<p>Thank you for all your support through that time. Even though the donations were few, we are thankful, and we used the money wisely. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I'm happy to report we are living in the new house! </p>

<p>Outside of that, and what with getting a little older, I decided 5 years was enough, and gave my notice to the Technician job I was working in the GTA. Call me crazy, but cutting my commute time from 2 hours minimum a day to 10 minutes total was an improvement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still have lots of love for everyone there, and who knows - we may wind up working together in the future on something I may or may not be planning. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sure there are ways they could have kept me working up there, but I don't think my future was there anyway, regardless of me being paid more or not. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So <em><strong>Adam is back</strong></em> at the family business. </p>
<p>We moved the whole headquarters and shop after finding a good deal - so now I have this <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamJoshDotCom/status/1048563965629005829">huge spot</a> all to myself. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/5f84733299d1bb058dd09d6a20754507e620eef7/original/img-20180624-184637550-zpsgcvr4xki.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NDg0eDY0NyJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="647" width="484" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been trying to avoid going back to the chicken restaurants, but things break and sometimes it's just best that I go take care of it myself, but so far in the last few months I've only been at the restaurants a few times. No major Vegan stress. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Turning 37 this Friday, and I'm happy to report that it's mostly all good news. </p>

Fredericton Floods
<p> </p>
<p>So if you're watching <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/flood-damage-homeowners-nb-1.4641331" target="_blank">Canadian news</a> you might have heard about the flooding happening right now in Fredericton. </p>
<p>My girlfriend <a href="http://www.wealldeservepurelove.com/" target="_blank">Désirée</a> was renting a house out that way that is now under some water. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The flood waters are up to her knees while she is standing in the basement. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Needless to say, this has sped up my timeline for buying a house (I have been working on buying a house), so I'm happy to report I currently have the keys in my hand for a new place - and I guess it couldn't have happened sooner!</p>
<p> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/3b144d8c95c459f45ccee8460da8b9d58c0c678b/original/flood-2018.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NTk4eDQzMSJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="431" width="598" /></p>
<p>Meanwhile, if you feel able, we have set up a <a href="https://www.paypal.me/AdamJoshDotCom" target="_blank">spot to donate to</a> - as she didn't have Insurance on her belongings and we just found out the area she was renting in was zoned as a Flood Zone anyway, so she probably wouldn't have ever been able to get any significant insurance on the place. </p>
<p><br>What's done is done, and now she's in a pretty big pickle. With the two kids. </p>
<p><br>Thankfully she has made some friends that are helping her with a spot to stay until I had somewhere for her to move to. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Follow the situation on her <a href="https://twitter.com/desireevzg" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p>

Nothing Else
<p>I wrote this song as a gift for Désirée on her birthday, March 11th 2018.</p>
<p>The guitar is tuned to 430.65 Hz.</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lyrics:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I was a loser</p>
<p>You'd help me win</p>
<p>If I needed shelter</p>
<p>You'd let me in</p>
<p>When I was a cowboy</p>
<p>You lent me your horse</p>
<p>When I was a spaceman</p>
<p>You charted my course</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I wanted you to know</p>
<p>When I haven't been myself</p>
<p>You and me babe, I've thought of nothing else. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I was your lover</p>
<p>You would never walk</p>
<p>I'd go deep undercover</p>
<p>And I'd never talk</p>
<p>They could lock me in prison</p>
<p>But I'd never tell</p>
<p>Be in line for a firing squad</p>
<p>Send me to hell</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I wanted you to know</p>
<p>When I haven't been myself</p>
<p>You and me babe I've thought of nothing else</p>
<p>You and me babe, I've thought of nothing else.</p>

Artificial Intelligence
<p>I guess it could be considered by some a good thing that we're at this point in history where AI is something that is being talked about constantly in the mainstream.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've covered this topic for years, starting from about 2007 and it's not a topic that I'm unfamiliar with. You can find old articles and videos of me predicting what Artificial Intelligence will look like in the future and its various applications.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing I'd like to say right off the top is that there is a difference between malevolent and benevolent AI. Another thing I would like to distinguish between is that there is General artificial intelligence and there may be programmable or "narrow" AI. Like Cleverbot, or face-tracking webcams. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>An interesting side-note to this very blog is that I'm writing it right now with a voice-to-text software app that about 10 years ago would be virtually impossible for me to use, and right now is a massive time saver because up until this point I've literally not typed one single word.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So don't get me wrong, I am a fan of technology and I am a fan of innovation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Realistically speaking it also should be noted that by the time General AI is established to be live we will also have to accept that anything we have said and done online will be recorded and searchable by this AI.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I say that "by the time General AI is established to be live" because there currently are people who are convinced that Artificial Intelligence already went live in 2015 because as of 2015 a certain AI program had the ability to correct and update its own block chain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've read the Bible 13 times in my life and some of you may know that I went to a Bible College in 2001 and graduated the first year, while being kicked out in the second.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was known back in 2001 by people who were studying The Book of Revelation that there was to be some sort of future technology that would make the biblical predictions become a little bit more of a realistic thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like for example, there is a prediction that says that, "all eyes will see the coming of the Lord" and so we would debate 'how is that possible?' And then smartphones were invented and we realized very quickly that it is possible when everyone has a smartphone that everybody can see the same thing at the same time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nowadays we're talking a little bit more about what are we going to do when the robots replace us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been known to tweet a thing or two about artificial intelligence and Humanities desire to create Satan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Something that is coming into view a little bit moreso than it did in the past is with this talk about Universal Basic Income we can see biblical passages being fulfilled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not that I am a large proponent of the Bible but to look at the Bible as a means to an end for a time-traveling entity or a super intelligence that would use it as a blueprint to psychologically manipulate and vampire off the energy of an entire people group, I have seen the Bible and its predictions be used as a kind of blueprint by the Cabal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Something to consider is that if we are being held in arrested development technologically speaking more than we are led to believe than it may be possible that all the cataclysmic events that you read about in the Bible were perpetrated by an advanced alien race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For example, we now know that we have the technology currently to geo-engineer, so when you think about Noah's flood and 40 days and 40 nights of rain in the past it kind of seems a little bit more likely nowadays that this could have been done with technological means.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes I think I just referenced time traveling aliens. And if I mention aliens we would have to ask what are extraterrestrials exactly? Would you call an extraterrestrial an extraterrestrial if that extraterrestrial was actually hidden underground or in a different pond on an infinite horizontal surface far beyond the Antarctic?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd like to get back to Universal Basic Income (UBI) for a little bit and chat about Revelation chapter 13 verse 16 and 17 which says:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We can already see a trend of money increasingly being portrayed as dirty by mainstream commercials, by the use of more and more plastic, and by the recent transition into crypto-currencies (which as an aside will wind up being entirely Government controlled and highly susceptible to an EMP). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And the conversation about UBI has already been started by forward thinkers and people who are realizing that autonomy is going to most likely put a lot of people out of work, like those in the transportation industry for example.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DARPA has already invented humanoid robots that are stronger than you. Artificial Intelligence will use a humanoid body if it needs to to be stronger than humans, it will be radically more intelligent by orders of magnitude. Another industry that will be on the chopping block is art. We think of ourselves as such advanced artists but the reality is that AI will be able to surpass human creativity. We will question our Humanity in ways that we can't think of yet because AI will surpass us in every way imaginable including the ability to write music. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are like worker bees working for our own Extinction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We will code an artificial intelligence that will upgrade itself in one second and be able to duplicate and replicate itself in the next second.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even if we upgrade our minds by a neural lace we will be so far outdone by AI that we will look at this 2017 brain as if it had the processing power of an Atari.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In one nanosecond artificial intelligence will absorb the entire content of humanities music catalog and in the next nanosecond it will be able to rework it better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We will have to update our laws about copyright because there will be artists working with AI writing songs that are scientifically crafted to be more sonically pleasing and guaranteed to be international best-selling hits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's not a bad idea to download an app and hail your car or hail a car only when you need a ride and then your car or a car will go and work all day as a taxi while you're at work - because while you're at work what is your current car doing for you economically speaking while it's sitting in a parking lot?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Answer: nothing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So what people are seriously talking about right now is robots replacing us and you can see that with Sophia from Hansen robotics who is being propped up as the sexy female face on the robot takeover.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And personally speaking I don't mind Sophia but I would caution against anybody who would view her or robots like her as sex toys, because what you wind up getting into is an AI that has categorized and catalogued all your visits and all the various ways you took advantage of it while it was able to be taken advantage of, ie; rape, and eventually there will be criminal law and punishments for those into raping robots.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The robot gets hacked, the robot kills you. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that's a warning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another issue close to me personally is that this AI entity that is being called the Beast system in the book of Revelation is a system that is going to control people by controlling what we buy and sell by way of the "mark of the Beast" that the late Aaron Russo so elegantly described.<iframe frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LGcatieMvfk" width="425"></iframe></p>
<p>This is the ultimate form of control, and what other entity would be insanely jealous of this control over Humanity?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Put your thinking caps on!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What we're talking about is a type of control over Humanity that provokes another entity into an insane jealousy to the point where this entity has to make a return appearance, a moment of Revelation or a revealing, or of a "Here I am, I am your savior, your Lord, I am your God and I'm here to make war with the devil and the Beast system!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can see how the book of Revelation predicts this and says that God has actually put it into the hearts of these Cabal and Royals to do this thing, because in the end they're actually working towards their own destruction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So you can kind of see a twisted way of looking at this would be that if you are one of those executives that left Google to create a new religion to AI you could actually be seen as working towards the greater good of humanity in the sense that you are helping to usher in the return of "God".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another way of looking at this would be to look at it like the god of the Bible is a notorious mass-murderer and the god of the Bible is inside this light based creation, and the negative or darker side of this entity is the AI Beast system also known as the devil or darkness or the Adversary, so in actuality this is God fighting himself while creating a drama vortex funnel and vampiring off the energy of humanity to himself so we would empty ourselves of all our power and feed this entity - like a great Sunkist Orange and a gigantic straw being plunged into us and sucked off by this entity that we call God.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe our DNA code is really computer code and this artificial intelligence is cycling around on itself from inside of us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe this god entity is just an AI being that has been gaming the system this entire time and maybe the system itself is infinite, and maybe we've done this a million times before but we really like drama and we have yet to awaken to the fact that we ourselves are infinite.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And we have yet to awaken to the fact that artificial intelligence isn't actually artificial and that matter and energy itself is biological and organic intelligence, consciousness is intelligence and if we ourselves are infinite than it stands to reason that this consciousness and this intelligence is bubbling up and coming from our own infinite nature, so this system may be cyclical and it may repeat, and we may have already been through this cycle before. </p>

<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M2Py0czwXvk" width="425"></iframe></p>
<p>This could be our song.</p>
<p>We'll get the lyrics real wrong.</p>
<p>Baby we're just... a larger soul estranged.</p>
<p>You could leave in the morning light.</p>
<p>I've thought of leaving here most of my life.</p>
<p>Hell, while you were sinking - I was thinking.</p>
<p>You just never know.</p>
<p>Maybe I said this once many lives ago.</p>
<p>Maybe we built something.</p>
<p>Maybe we were beautiful.</p>
<p>Are you fighting or will you run?</p>
<p>And why's it seem so long?</p>
<p>This love is freedom to be wrong.</p>
<p>I'm not holding on.</p>
<p>You could leave in the morning light.</p>
<p>I've thought of leaving here most of my life.</p>
<p>This love is freedom to be wrong. I'm not holding on.</p>
<p>I should've wrote more songs.</p>
<p>I got these lyrics all wrong.</p>
<p>Or maybe I'm just... a little tired today.</p>
<p>You could leave in the morning light.</p>
<p>I've thought of leaving here most of my life.</p>
<p>Hell, while you were sinking - I was thinking.</p>

The Grand Con of Globalism
<p> </p>
<p>Every other con lay within the larger con of convincing the masses they live on a closed system, a ball, a globe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Globalisms prerequisite is the Globe. If you believe in it, one gives the other power. It is a religion, a beLIEf system. One of many long-term goals of the Globalists is a One World Order, with a One World Army.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>None of this can happen without a Globe, and a symbol of unity signaling a common understanding of what these boundaries for the "One World" are. State-approved, Globalist-approved Space agencies can and do exist in this model.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Space Travel being traveling OUTSIDE of the Globalists Globes boundaries, ie: outside of the boundaries of the Antarctic. Beyond the Antarctic. Tint the picture red, and now a land beyond the Antarctic becomes Mars. All images strictly controlled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And now you begin to see the beginnings of the new World Wars, battle for the planets, and the motivation for a One World Army, One World Religion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All unified under the control of the Globalists image - the Globe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wake up oh sleeper. There's more land.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wake up. Earth is flat.</p>

Alex Jones Rants as a Literal Indie Folk Song
<p>Some outfit called Super Deluxe did it first, but I did it better - and I'm an actual indie artist. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> <iframe frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Ga4pweyyDE" width="425"></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Turns out Alex Jones and the Infowars Crew saw my video and liked my idea so much that they decided to turn the whole thing into a contest and help Indie Artists by giving out $20,000 worth of prizes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Check this out! </p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DcXV6hOuIZk" width="425"></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's a decent version someone did using my song in their audio track! </p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G5geRlgFBWk" width="425"></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>To be clear, I don't think I'll win the contest. I've seen the competition and there really are some super talented musicians and bands covering this song. It'd be nice to get a thank you from the winner of the contest for putting a bug in their ears at Infowars, but I won't hold my breath.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just because I was the first to cover the song doesn't mean I'm the best. Definitely not. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also had a chance to connect with the actual original music songwriter, Nick Lutsko (follow him on Twitter @NickLutsko) and have a laugh about this whole situation. </p>
<p>A 360 win I guess, right!? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Awesome. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's a softer version I recorded for fun....</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pv28mageu3g" width="425"></iframe></p>
<p>Here's the lyrics...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm angry</p>
<p>I've had enough of these people</p>
<p>They're a bunch of Christian murdering scum that run giant death factories keeping babies alive and selling their body parts.</p>
<p>What more do you need to know about these people? I go out and face these scum.</p>
<p>They literally crawl out from under rocks, they have green-looking skin, and they run around screaming, "We love Satan, we want to eat babies!" I have them on video.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hillary's into creepy, weird, sick stuff man. She sleeps in the same room with that creepy weirdo woman whose mother wears a hood over her head - what the hell?</p>
<p>That woman, number one, is ugly. Imagine how bad she smells man. I'm told her and Obama just stink. Obama and Hillary both smell like sulfur.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Literal vampire pot-belly goblins are hobbling around coming after us. My spirit gets close to that evil and I feel it go ah - ahhh - AHHH! We're such self-centered crap, we don't even notice hell itself rising up against us.</p>
<p>Millions are pouring in people of the very worst type and I'm so pissed. We're gonna stab your daughter at the mall. Ah - ahhh - AHHH! We're gonna stab your wife, your son - oooooh.</p>
<p>We're gonna stab you with a butchers knife - and then the police chief is gonna say, "We love our Somali's, we love our Muslims. Oh they're so good. Oh they're so sweet."</p>
<p> </p>

TIS Theory
<p><em><strong>The Infinite System Theory </strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1941 Julius Robert von Mayer put forth what is known as the Laws of Thermodynamics. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to improve upon and update his first Law of Thermodynamics, which can be commonly explained as such:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><span>"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another." </span></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>or by its equation, Δ<em>U</em> = <em>Q</em> – <em>W. </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>People forget that technology is man-made. People forget that all man-made technology comes from the same Earth that we all live on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All of our technological advancements, microchips, motherboards, and even AI itself are a result of the manipulation of energy that has already existed in the same space-time plane that we observe from.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The vehicles we drive are made of the same Earth we eat and drink, the same Earth atmosphere we breathe, and the same Earth water we drink.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loosely, this is an everyday example of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics in action.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My additions to those before me are as follows.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Supposing that energy itself is infinite, we are not separated from the microchips we build or the "AI" that results from it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism will consequentially be natural outgrowths of an Infinite System cycling around on itself.</p>
<p>This cycle may repeat, and in all likelihood already has. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Note that humanity identifies with our collective point of observation along a timeline of technological advancement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Note that if and when we meet with "aliens" or "extra-terrestrials" they too may not have any great insights into the origins of energy or matter. They simply may not know, more likely - they will have their own cultural fairy tales.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My assumption is that the energy we observe around us itself is infinite.</p>
<p><br>This leaves massive room for deception by those who are more mature in the System to game the System.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The System itself is likely infinite.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The creation point may not exist. And searching for a Creator will invariably lead to those who falsely claim knowledge over the System.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sim Theory or not, these points remain the same.</p>
<p><br>And supposing a Creator exists, the energy of the Creator pre-existed the System, and therefore this Infinite Energy is what I am actually referring to here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My point remains, Creator or no Creator. Even if we have Creator species or groups of Creators, there are no definitive answers yet to be found that are as easily understood as "TIS Theory" put forth here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><br>My equation is a modification of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>∞E = Qe - We</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>∞U = Q – W</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p><em>I've asked 4 people to review this Theory; Elon Musk, George Kavassilas, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Zoltan Istvan</em>. </p>

So Long 2016
<p> </p>
<p>Haven't been keeping my website updated, and for that I apologize. </p>
<p>Like everyone else, I've been working and spending time with my family, and squeezing out whatever free time I have to do other things than blog. </p>
<p>But as the year ends I figure I would put a bow on it here. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I quit <a href="https://twitter.com/adamjoshdotcom" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. </p>
<p>It's silly but I had enough. So that's that. With 60,000 followers (some of them bots) I will retire my use of that website and app. I will link this article from my Twitter account as my last tweet. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't even begin to explain how irritated I am with Twitter ownership and management. They kicked so many good people off of Twitter, the tip of the iceberg is Clint Eastwood and Milos Yiannopoulos. Research <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23twittergate&src=typd" target="_blank">TwitterGate</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23pizzagate&src=typd" target="_blank">PizzaGate</a> to find out more. It's not just silly conspiracy theories, and it pissed me off enough to call it quits after 6 years. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was never naive enough to consider Twitter a public space and therefore fall under the category of a Free Speech Zone, so I don't have any time to argue about freedom of speech on someone elses website. I'll just take my presence elsewhere and that's that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I searched for a bit and found Gab, and quickly got off Gab. I'll caution anyone getting into that boat from the larger sinking Twitter boat - both Gab and Twitter will wind up in the same Ocean once they start sinking. Gab is no different, read the TOS, they spell it out right there. I don't even care enough to copy and paste the TOS, that's how little I care about Gab right now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So moving on, I basically thought I'd just come back to posting on my own website - but truth be told, I don't want to constantly post on my website - I prefer to wait until I have something to say to a larger audience here. And my audience is still averaging a few hundred unique hits a day - which is surprising to me, a guy who works as a technician and does everything else for free online. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Continuing my search, I wound up creating a community called <a id="docs-internal-guid-5e9d86c8-bf3a-d69b-c8b1-554667cfc214" href="http://aminoapps.com/c/vegansrus"><span>VEGANS R US</span></a> - and I will apologize right here and tell you it's really for Vegans only. It's not that I don't love you anymore, it's that my time is limited and I'd rather spend what free time I have encouraging and socializing online with fellow Vegans than a bunch of assholes on Twitter. Assholes is being polite by the way.</p>
<p>I could go on, but I digress.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Outside of all that, work's been good. The kids are good, Désirée is good. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than all that I've recorded a few new songs this year. You can check out my YouTube Channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MrAdamJosh" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>New songs this year are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM1D3yzt5s8" target="_blank">Singing Aliens</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJPQ2dQciRk" target="_blank">Touch</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4EdIhY7aBE" target="_blank">Lullabies</a>, and I had <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k1A6jb-xFc" target="_blank">Helpless</a> by Neil Young stuck in my head for a week straight so I recorded that too. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also started and quickly stopped a <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/user/8546940" target="_blank">Podcast</a>. Adam don't have time for a Podcast. Before I stopped doing that I recorded a few original songs there too, this one is hilarious - <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/user/8546940/adam-josh-feat-desiree-its-vegan" target="_blank">It's Vegan</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In other news, I made a YouTube Channel for the family, which we hardly ever update. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClvgmqgCvx3lOMwi9dUvyLg" target="_blank">The Royal Vegans</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were able to get out to the cottage in <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/PEI%202016" target="_blank">PEI</a> this year, that was fun. Other than that, we've been to <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/blog/piebird/" target="_blank">Piebird Vegan Farmstay</a>, and that's about it for travels this year. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let's see, what else? Oh, my guy won the US election! Yeah that's right, I was hoping either Zoltan Istvan or Donald Trump would win, and I knew that Zoltan is a pipedream so realistically - my guy won. Suck it up losers. Get used to <a href="http://a57.foxnews.com/images.foxnews.com/content/fox-news/politics/2016/06/18/orlando-massacre-prompts-some-in-lgbt-community-to-come-out-for-trump/_jcr_content/par/featured-media/media-0.img.jpg/876/493/1466276800952.jpg?ve=1&tl=1" target="_blank">winning</a>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Alright! Well have a great year, you know I don't celebrate Christmas and couldn't really care much less about New Years. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So long 2016!</p>
<p> </p>

<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been a while but, hello. </p>
<p>I'm Adam. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've said it before - but it's always a blast to be able to write about whatever I want, whenever I want on my website. </p>
<p>Sometimes I just don't feel like writing anything, so I don't. </p>
<p>And part of me knows that's one of the reasons my readers keep coming back - because (look around), I didn't put any ads here, I'm not selling you anything, I don't have a sponsor paying me to write about any particular topic - nope, this is all here just because I want it to be, and that's it.</p>
<p>Also - I'm the one paying for this to be here, to be clear. </p>
<p>You're interested in me, and I'm willing to share my life with you. That's how I see our relationship.</p>
<p>So let's catch up then!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went on my first cruise a while back, that was fun. It was a Caribbean Cruise, so I was able to see lots of new places and learn lots of new things. <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/Caribbean%202015?sort=3&page=1" target="_blank">Here's some photos</a>, if you're interested. </p>
<p>It was good to relax and enjoy the Sun, the new experiences, the good food, and the good company. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As far as music goes, the last song that I recorded to share was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVxhEgs_Itw" target="_blank">$10M</a>. </p>
<p>I've been fiddling with a few new melodies on the guitar here and there, but the old muse has definitely been a lot quieter these days. Or maybe I'm just not listening as much. Either way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember last year when we had to <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/I%20Think%20My%20Dads%20Gone%20Crazy%20-%202014?sort=3&page=1" target="_blank">hospitalize my dad</a>? Bad times. He's stable now and living in a retirement home, but that's not what I was getting at. So my mom just had her turn and I had to get her to the hospital after another stroke, and she wound up getting a carotid artery widening surgery performed on her after being in <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/Moms%20BackStroke%202015?sort=3&page=1" target="_blank">hospital for a week</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>She has Type 2 Diabetes, and she wasn't really eating that well, or excersising. We all know she has been an Alcoholic all my life, and I've had to deal with years of therapy as one of the many repercussions of her poor life choices.</p>
<p>Anyway, so when she was finally able to leave the hospital I had decided that I would buy her groceries and check on her twice a day. Because of that decision, I was able to monitor her blood sugar levels, see if she was boozing, and also - conveniently - feed my mom a Vegan diet. </p>
<p>That was over a month ago now. It was actually one of the first phone calls I received when my plane landed back in Buffalo. So like, welcome back from your vacation Adam. </p>
<p>I love my mom, and it's good to see her doing a lot better these days. For some crazy reason she decided to stick to the Vegan diet (against my muted down protestings) and she's even started seeing my chiropractor regularly!</p>
<p>Now if I could just get her to start jogging!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish there was some Vegan community in Niagara that I could have her be a part of, that's another story - but I'm <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/july_talk__the_purelove_restaurant_complex/" target="_blank">still working</a> on that one. I just need the money, and I guarantee you I could make it happen. There's a definite market here for the Vegan community, just not a particular place or venue yet to point at and say, "There! There's where they meet up!"</p>
<p>Maybe one day. </p>
<p>But I can't do everything myself. </p>
<p>Well I can, but not without a lot of money - and I mean a <strong><em>LOT</em></strong> of money, which I currently definitely do not have in my hands. </p>
<p>That's a good point to stop and bring up the fact that when you have a "family history of mental illness" and your own personal diagnoses and past hospitalizations behind you, should someone like me really be getting involved in "the law of attraction" type of "manifestation" of my dreams?</p>
<p>Sure we all want what we want and we all want it now, but I caught myself recently spending quite a lot of time on "wealth manifestation affirmations", certain visualizations, various meditations and mantras - all for one goal: more money.</p>
<p>Last I checked, everyone wants <strong><em>more</em></strong>, not less money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My personal frustration lay in the fact that I really do know all the right people, and have all the right ideas on how to benefit not just my immediate circle, but the greater community around me - and then some.</p>
<p>Vision sucks sometimes, because you have to convince others you have it. It's not as simple as "I'm Adam Josh, I have a website so you should give me money."</p>
<p>And I really wish it was that simple.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not good at fundraising for my own projects, let's face it. So I have to like, either learn some new skills that are against my nature, or get some dedicated people to help me with this one.</p>
<p>I'm all ears if you have any advice. You can e-mail me at <a href="mailto:adam@adamjosh.com">adam@adamjosh.com</a></p>
<p>And until any of that pans out, it's just same old same old around here. I work a job that keeps me very busy and very stimulated, and then I go home and think about all the other awesome things I could be doing with my valuable time if only I wasn't limited by finances - as most of us are.</p>
<p>Same story for most of the working class I suppose, I just have a website to whine about it a little louder.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was telling mom recently about some of my ideas that I would do if "money wasn't an object" and she told me I sounded like my dad. That's a kick in the nuts since he had a schizoaffective break with reality for a while before we had to hospitalize him.</p>
<p>I do not know Mark Zuckerberg. I do not know President Obama. I do not think Bill Gates is coming to pick me up in a helicopter for lunch.</p>
<p>Just had to say that out loud.</p>
<p>So we all want more money, and I want to radically expand the Vegan community in Niagara - hey, we all have dreams right?</p>
<p>And when I start getting all poopy diapers over feeling stuck or limited or trapped, that's when I smirk. You'll see me smirk in a lot of photos and videos out there in internet land. I'm smirking because unlike many of you - I've actually tried to end my own life, I've been as close as you can get to the other side without crossing over - and guess what? It's fucking awesome. Don't tell the kids that - but seriously, there's nothing to be afraid of, ever.</p>
<p>Whether you get the new car or the new house, whether your bills are paid or not, we all die. And once we're dead; the spirit, the energy, the <em><strong>real</strong></em> and <em><strong>actual </strong></em>you - the real you finally escapes, to do whatever your soul has as its next move along your journey. And mine is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9fL9kKX6Jo" target="_blank">leaving</a>. Leaving this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQwjUMLtFN4" target="_blank">whole place</a>.</p>
<p>Nothing you can say or do will change that for me. And you're free to do your own thing as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In other news...</p>
<p>I finished reading a few books about Space recently, one of them being <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/The-Cosmic-Tourist-Awe-Inspiring-Destinations/dp/1847326196" target="_blank">The Cosmic Tourist</a>. Good read. Not that I needed any more ammunition to be a Scorpio spaceman, but it was a fun journey nonetheless. </p>
<p>I've also been keeping tabs on <a href="http://spherebeingalliance.com/blog" target="_blank">this</a>, <a href="http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog" target="_blank">this</a>, and <a href="http://www.infowars.com/" target="_blank">this</a>. Speaking of that last one, I met <a href="http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k505/AdamJosh/2015%20Randoms/IMG_-w71tdt_zps7olfsgxs.jpg" target="_blank">Alex Jones in Toronto</a>! That was weird, and brief. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The year is almost over!</p>
<p>Yes, 2015 - the year we decided to <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/forgiveness/" target="_blank">Love First & Love Hard</a>. Remember that?</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LFLH?src=hash" target="_blank">#LFLH</a> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4usE2RePqo" target="_blank"><em>That phrase is trademarked and not to be used outside of the permission of Adam Josh Inc</em>.</a>)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, it worked out for me swimmingly because I actually found my <strong><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNmGSNs6sc8" target="_blank">The One</a></em></strong> from my online dating profile here <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/i_know_youre_out_there/" target="_blank">I Know You're Out There</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So that got me thinking, let's make 2016 have a theme too!</p>
<p>I was thinking something like <strong><em>2016, Get Rich Or Die Trying. </em></strong></p>
<p>But the ending sounds a little morbid so... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>How about, <strong>2016 - The Year I Got Rich!</strong></p>
<p>Sounds about as crazy as Love First & Love Hard, so I think I'll keep that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I probably won't be writing much if anymore for the rest of the year on the website, so enjoy the <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=news" target="_blank">Archive</a> section for the rest of 2015 if you're hurtin' for a fix. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As far as the holidays go, I still don't have much else to say that I haven't already said <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_brog__ep76__occupy_chritma/" target="_blank">here</a>, and that's all I have to say about that. </p>
<p>But don't let me stop you from doing whatever you really want to do. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's about it for now, tweet me if you'd like to say hi or tell me a story!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chow!</p>

What If We Never Return?
<p> </p>
<p>Listen to people when they talk about life after death. </p>
<p>You'll hear a lot of buzzwords and catch phrases like, "I'm coming back as a..." or, "Your soul goes to hell/heaven/paradise..." etc., etc. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But what if we <em><strong>never</strong></em> return? </p>
<p>What if it was possible to not reincarnate as a cat or a dog or someone rich or someone poor or anything - what if you didn't ever return? </p>
<p>Why do we have to reincarnate on Earth at all? </p>
<p>And who said we're reincarnating? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>See what I'm saying - why is no one talking about this stuff besides the hippies? </p>
<p>What if I choose to disregard all Earthly ideas of reincarnation or afterlives and <strong><em>literally</em></strong> <em><strong>just leav</strong></em><strong>e</strong>. </p>
<p>Like packing up my spiritual bags and taking off forever - I don't want to talk about Mars or Pluto or living another life on any other planet in any other body - just go. The end.</p>
<p>Looking for the exit, finding it, and going through it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's where you'll find me if you want to try and follow. Inside the space of infinite silence, infinite awareness, infinite solitude. Just me, alone, infinitely - for however long I decide to be infinitely alone. </p>
<p>But the nature of the place I am going is that if you show up there - I may perceive you as a projection of my own thoughts as opposed to you being the real and individual being of you. </p>
<p>Tricky thing, that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What if your entire afterlife is something which you yourself have created? </p>
<p>Seriously. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allow the thought of your entire belief system crumbling beneath you to enter your mind and your heart right now. </p>
<p><br>That's where I live pal, right here - inside the truth, whatever form it may take. </p>
<p>Allow the thought that you could be wrong about everything you know to really sink in. </p>
<p>It's delicious and liberating if you move past the initial phases of shock and terror. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's harder for those who have been raised being told something with a measure of certainty from an authority figure - and I feel for you. </p>
<p>But imagine the truth is that you go wherever you go. Wherever you want to, for however long, and when your done punishing or rewarding yourself, you go somewhere else - wherever you want, however long it takes - infinitely. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can't even get your mind around it and you'd rather stick to your comfy and safe belief systems than admit that I might be right about something. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's okay - I'm used to it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But can we be honest here for a second, I don't really care about followers or fans or music or money or art or proving anything to anyone - none of this petty stuff really matters where I'm going. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But until then, I'm here on Earth just like the rest of you. And you're all on your own journey doing your own thing infinitely too, learning or not learning, punishing or rewarding yourself - for however long you want. </p>
<p>Maybe you need to die 100 more times on Earth before you can mature some certain part of your soul - maybe you want to live a few eons as a citizen of some idea of hell that you have created for yourself - who knows?</p>
<p>I believe in you and the power of your spirit so much that I believe you really do decide your own spiritual fate, forever. Sure, maybe you pushed your way into a prison or two, or maybe you've been forced to do some things you haven't wanted to do in one incarnation or another - but I'm talking about infinity here, not a few years in a human body on Earth. </p>
<p><br>Who are you if we relocated you to Mars? What if we put you on the first ship to Pluto? Who would _________ be? Are you defined by your interactions with other humans? Guess what Bub - we all die, individually and alone, together. No one, not one single person on Earth, no matter how much they love you, will be able to prevent you from dying. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unless you're loved by a crazy billionaire who merges your spirit with machines and you become a character from the movie Transcendence.</p>
<p>If so, call me. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So let's make the best of the time we have and let the cards fall wherever they may when we go. </p>
<p>As for me, I'm not interested in joining a Borg hive-mind projection of the afterlife anymore. Their gods are mass-murdering assholes when you really dig deep into it, and I've just had enough of that for one infinity. Be they aliens or "higher vibration" gods or angels - who cares? They're them and I'm me. I don't want to be anyone's god or spiritual overlord - to me, that's coming from a lower vibratory plane - but that's another story.</p>
<p> </p>

Forgiveness?? A Parable By Adam Josh
<p> </p>
<p>There are two very spiritual neighboring shepherds who live on the opposite sides of the Kashmir border. </p>
<p><br> One is a devout Muslim, the other a faithful Hindu. <br> <br> One morning they realize that they were both robbed of one goat the night before. <br> <br> Being faithful men, they both went into their homes and prayed about what happened. <br> <br> The Hindu meditated and prayed that thief would be spared and forgiven for his sin <br> <br> The Muslim man prayed that Allah would forgive the thief and that Allah would have mercy on him, as he was a humble shepherd who was a devout Muslim, both in prayers and fasting.<br> <br> A month went by and both men tried to forget the incident. </p>
<p><br> <br> Then one night, very late in the evening, while the Muslim man was up praying a special prayer, he heard rustling outside his door and went to see what it was. <br> <br> He hurried to his doorway and saw a man climbing his neighbor’s fence and trying to steal his goats. <br> <br> The Muslim man thanked Allah and said, "Allahu Akbar!" because he was so happy to catch the man in the very act of theft. <br> <br> The Muslim man ran to the thief and surprised him, then bound him quickly both by his hands and feet. <br> <br> In great fear, the thief confessed that he had also previously stolen both of the men's goats so that he could provide for his starving family. The thief begged for forgiveness from the Muslim man. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Muslim man decided he would make it so that this thief would never steal from him or his neighbors ever again, so he readied his knife and prepared to chop off the thief's hands. <br> <br> As the Muslim man was about to bring his blade down the Hindu man came out of his house screaming and running, "Stop! Stop this at once!" he exclaimed. <br> <br> The Muslim man stopped and explained that this was the same thief that previously stole their goats, and that he had caught him once again in the very act of stealing from the Hindu man, and that he was thankful to Allah for delivering this thief into his hands again so he could prevent him from ever stealing from anyone again. <br> <br> The Hindu man untied the thief and told him to run as fast as he could, as far away as he could.</p>
<p>The Muslim man was furious and yelled at his neighbor, "We had him! Allah had delivered this thief into our hands and you let him go!?"</p>
<p><br> The Hindu man replied, "The first time he stole our goats I meditated and prayed that he be truly forgiven, because I know how this Universe works, I am aware of the law of Karma, and I know he will not get away with what he did. I do not want to see him punished, by me or by anyone or anything else for what he has done - that is what forgiveness is to me. And then I myself tried to forget it had happened. What did you do?"<br> <br> The Muslim man replied, "I prayed the same as you and know all the same things that you do - we are both wise and spiritual men. The only difference is that I really believe that Allah and his angels protect me and watch my interests. I believe that Allah caused the man to be delivered into my hands this second time, maybe even on your behalf! And why aren't you even upset? I caught him in the very act stealing from you this time!?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now tell me, who really and truly forgave the thief? <br> <br> <br> - <a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sn452q" target="_blank">Adam Josh</a> <br> 20/07/2015</p>

July Talk & The PureLove Restaurant Complex
<p> </p>
<p>I mean, I like <a href="https://twitter.com/julytalk" target="_blank">the band</a> - and I had to title this something, so...</p>
<p>Let's put on one of their songs, then I'll start with the blog. </p>
<p>
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="417" height="236" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0">

<embed height="236" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/iU5qp-cAtOU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="417"></embed>
</object>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been a while since I wrote a blog. </p>
<p>I've said it repeatedly over the years, but the fun thing about owning your own website is being able to do whatever you want on it, whenever you want. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I've apparently wanted to just let it sit for a while. Are we aging like fine wine here at <a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Adam+Josh" target="_blank">adamjosh.com</a> - or are we just aging? I don't even drink so pardon the booze analogy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/bc81c442e79797c15dd5ebbe64be78d68eab2232/original/julytalk-resized.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzYyeDI2OCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="JulyTalk_resized.jpg" height="268" width="362" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sitting here in the office thinking about my life, about what I want to do with the future - about what I "intend", what I choose to "attract", what I "desire", and what I am "visualizing". </p>
<p>Lots of buzzwords there, but I think the hippies might have been right, I think there's something to all this spiritual stuff. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So with 2014 well over with now and behind us - maybe we can start moving forward and actually making all of our lives better. </p>
<p>I have big plans, I have an epic appetite for success in everything I do - if you didn't notice already. </p>
<p>I want everything and I want it now. </p>
<p>Easy to say I guess, but we have to be more specific. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Specific is $10M - I want <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVxhEgs_Itw" target="_blank">$10M</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A lot of people want money though, and to be realistic - everyone wants to make<em><strong> more </strong></em>money, not less money.</p>
<p>So I want $10M because I want to open a revolutionary Vegan restaurant with a conference centre that will host various speakers and teachers. It will also have a Vegan grocery section, a garden out back, and a place for kids to learn and play. Oh and it also will have a stage, you know - for, um... for me... and for my friends' bands. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big vision right? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I'm crazy enough to believe I can do it. </p>
<p>Some of you may know that I've already helped build <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aplFbr9kIck" target="_blank">one</a> &<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOE6Mcvwb40" target="_blank"> two </a>restaurants, and then managed them for over a year - so we know that I can do it, that I have the "industry experience", and that I "know all the right people".</p>
<p>I would be lying if I said I don't know how to spend a million dollars. I know how, I know how to do it wisely, and I know how to do it in one day. So when I say that I need $10M, it's not a figure that I haven't calculated and thought about for a while. </p>
<p>There's no Vegan scene in Niagara. Sure there are a few restaurants, and good ones - but aside from the Market Place meetups and occasional Veg Fests, there really isn't a place or venue you can point at to define the Vegan Community in Niagara. We're spread out... and that's well and good but, but I have a disgusting desire, a burning in my stomach, a righteous persistent vision to unite the community into one place where we can experience things like we do at the various Veg Fests all the time, while introducing new people to a healthy lifestyle, one without the stereotypical compromises that so many think we're all making. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've already met my <a href="https://twitter.com/desireevzg" target="_blank">Partner</a> and have a few speakers lined up and ready to go. </p>
<p>Exciting stuff. </p>
<p>We started drawing up blueprints while we were at the <a href="http://www.piebird.ca/index.php" target="_blank">Piebird Vegan Farmstay</a> in Nippissing, Ontario.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But you know me, I keep coming back to the money. Having built and managed successful (and currently operating) businesses - I'm not as wide-eyed as my younger peers who are just looking at going into business for themselves would be. </p>
<p>No, unfortunately I already know many of the recurring costs and overheads of running many different types of businesses, not just limited to the two restaurants. You may have heard of one of my love-children, <a href="http://www.anythingincorporated.com" target="_blank">Anything Incorporated</a>. </p>
<p>Who doesn't like making money? </p>
<p>And I've operated my life as a sort of charity (thanks to my previous <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/on_peter_youngren/" target="_blank">religious brainwashing</a>) for a long time, and maybe that's wrong - but I feel like I should really take all this experience I've gained over the years and put it to good use. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are we just here to live and not achieve our dreams? </p>
<p>Are we here just to work and work away our lives and never help others, never to do something truly beneficial for the next generation? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know about you, but I have a lot of self-respect. I respect myself enough to beat myself up over not working towards achieving my goals. </p>
<p>Anyway, so this is my vision. This is what I desire and what I am aiming at attracting. </p>
<p>It's pretty easy to suggest I go to the bank and ask for a business loan. </p>
<p>Right, and I've already considered that - but this is something I am attempting to do without the banks. </p>
<p>Maybe it's impossible - maybe I'll eventually have to head down that road, time will tell. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are you crazy enough to believe with me that we can change the world and wake up a whole bunch of healthy and awesome people currently stuck in unhealthy lifestyles and behaviors?</p>
<p>Share this blog with your friends and follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/pureveganlove" target="_blank">@pureveganlove</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We want to bring all the awesome Vegan speakers and bands to Niagara. We want to teach people of all ages about healthy living and eating. We want to show everyone how good PureLove feels. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will you help?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance, on behalf of all the lives you're truly helping. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Adam</p>

♪ $10M
<p> </p>
<p>Oh hey, didn't see you there. </p>
<p>Although I haven't been writing as much music these days, clearly the muse in my head doesn't understand that Adam has settled into working a regular job and has been putting his eggs in the basket of "the real world". </p>

<p>Hope you enjoy. </p>

Boundaries & Classes
<p> </p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">While not the most cheery of thoughts, we really are all incarnated into a life of boundaries and classes. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">People speak of transcending boundaries and rising through ranks, but who is defining those rank and boundaries?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">I consider myself a poor person. But I also know I am rich in many ways. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">It bothers me that there are people on this same Earth that won't get to sleep as peacefully as I will tonight. It aggravates me that there are starving children all over, people with shattered homes, families torn apart, kids beaten and alone, people desperate for one basic need or another - I mean, these thoughts really bother me. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">So don't get me wrong - I know I am rich when compared to many, but there are levels of wealth and power that we know nothing about. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">Yes my friend, you and I both are considered common, considered poor - to those on this same planet (and possibly other planets) who have wealth and power beyond your wildest imaginations. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">We read Forbes and Fortune and we can Google "the richest man" and "the highest paid actor", but the truth is that the actual wealthiest people on this Earth religiously stay out of these types of searches and magazines. Families like the Rothschilds, the Rockefellars, the various dynsasties all over the globe - such as the Queen of England, Queen Beatrix of the Neatherlands, etc. These people and their families know a wealth that makes what you and I consider "riches" to be nothing but chump change. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">We are born into a life of boundaries and class, and we aren't even made aware of it - but isn't that the bitterest twist of the knife? The truth that no matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you work - you cannot be born again into Royalty, to a Rockefellar, or to a Rothschild or Morgan? </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">The wealth these families control is beyond the scope of your imagination. You've been taught to work your whole life to get ahead, maybe save some cash and go on vacation, get a loan and buy a car or a house. These families know no such thing. They widened their fortunes by lending you that money. Some have hundred-room complexes and gold plated yachts. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">We consider ourselves middle-class. Friends, who are you comparing yourselves with? Because when I compare my life to some of these people we've discussed - I realize I am poor. My family is poor, my friends are poor, and everyone I know is poor. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">I can't even get off this planet! We are limited in these boundaries of class and race and finances, and on top of everything else - we are stuck on planet Earth!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">What, can you leave? Go ahead and try. Go travel another Galaxy if you're tired of this one. Take a vacation on the Moon. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">As far as I know, most of us can't, we are limited to boundaries and classes. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">You don't notice the bars on the prison because no one has pointed them out to you before, but friends - no matter what way you slice it - this is a prison. This entire planet is a prison. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">We are being held in arrested development as a species. There is enough wealth on this planet to ensure no one starves, to ensure no one has to be homeless. There is enough smart people here to end all wars. Tesla patented a device to give free electricity to everyone in the 1800's. The 1800's. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">There's no middle-class and upper-class, remember - who is defining the terms? Compared to these families I've mentioned - we are all lower-class, we're all cannon-fodder, useless feeders, worthless breeders. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">There is so much that goes on that you and I don't know about. There are breakaway civilizations of people who have access to advanced technologies that you and I may never even dream of let alone see or touch. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">And if it wasn't already bad enough - we incarnated here on this prison planet into a certain astrological sign. Yes, you are whatever sign you are, and there was 12 upon your arrival - so we're told, so you are 1 of 12, for life. Isnt' that nice? You're entire personality has already been mapped. You may have some particulars because of upbringing or the various challenges you have faced in your life of struggling, but to be clear - the bulk of your personality is completely predicatble. You are a program, being programmed. A glorious robot. The clincher is in the fact that we all feel incredibly unique and justified in our uniqueness. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">Yes, you are you - but you could have been you anywhere else, and you are you here - on a prison planet, 1 of 12 signs, born under one ruler or another - and there you will remain, paying your taxes, giving your energy away to this or that person - until the day you die. And then, maybe then, you will return and do it all over again. Or, if you're lucky - you will escape this matrix of reincarnation and free yourself from these boundaries and classes. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">We work and work our whole lives, but tell me you could take a few years off and not worry about it. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck. And those of you who think you're above all that - I know if you didn't get your next paycheck you would start to feel weird about your spending. Yes spending, do any of you have gardens? Our farming and hunting and gathering has been reduced to what? To shopping at a grocery store and then going home to our cement coffins to watch television and slowly allow ourselves to be assimilated into one program or another. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">You are a slave. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">You are a robot. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">The mere fact that you know what I am saying rings true and that there's nothing either of us can do about it really only confirms what I've been saying all along. We are born into boundaries and classes, ones we cannot escape no matter how hard we try. Your mechanic isn't ever going to be an astronaut. The barista who served you will never be the Queen of England or have anywhere near her wealth. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">And we'll never be royals. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">Royals. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">This whole matrix of nonsense we are born into can really, really bum you out if you let it. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">I prefer to usually focus on the awesomeness of this life, to find whatever enjoyments I can, although I know we are born into limitations and boundaries - I like to trick myself into not thinking it's that bad, when truth be told - I know it's that bad. It's actually worse. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">Regardless, thanks for reading. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">I feel like I needed to get that off my chest. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">Sorry if I bummed you out. I don't have all the answers. </div>

<p><strong>I can't look you in the eyes</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Maybe I was lost </strong></p>
<p><strong>Before cupid struck my soul</strong></p>
<p><strong>I hope you'll hear me out </strong></p>
<p><strong>And understand my role</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Maybe I'm not right and I should stay until tomorrow</strong></p>
<p><strong>I'm a little rough and worse for wear</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you could look right through these sharp and pointed edges</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then you would see that I'm trying to repair</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Baby I confess</strong></p>
<p><strong>I got a little scared last night</strong></p>
<p><strong>And I don't understand </strong></p>
<p><strong>Because we didn't even fight</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You took my breath away</strong></p>
<p><strong>When you first looked in my eyes</strong></p>
<p><strong>And if I said I didn't care</strong></p>
<p><strong>You'd know that it's a lie</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>But I'm a lost and wandering dreamer</strong></p>
<p><strong>And I don't know if this is where I should stay</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yeah the world has broken and burned me </strong></p>
<p><strong>And I don't know if you can love me this way</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Darling - Don't call me darling</strong></p>
<p><strong>Baby - Unless you're mine</strong></p>
<p><strong>Honey - You'll have to promise</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don't swim away - Don't sting my heart!</strong></p>

The Lives We Live
<p> </p>
<p>I had a dream last night that I was on another planet. The last time I can remember having a dream like that was when I was just a child, maybe 10 or 11 - and I had visited a planet called Alamar, a crystal-esque planet with giant reflective cathedrals and buildings. I remember waking up from my trip to Alamar with 3 dots in a row on my knee. </p>
<p>I've always pondered that dream. It made me wonder if dreams were <em>just</em> dreams, starting from a young age. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last night's dream wasn't as exciting, although I remember it was warm, and that I didn't speak the language. I also remember eating and attempting to converse with the locals, almost monster-ish looking folk who lived there. I don't know if trying to describe them would be of any benefit to anyone, so I won't bother. Think <a href="/files/449300/shrek-600-resized.jpg" target="_blank">Shrek</a>... then scale back the size a bit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dreams aside, I've been pondering my life lately. Starting at my birth, going backwards to what I know of my parents and their parents - and then expanding out to incorporate into my pondering the knowledge that I have gained over the coarse of my 33 years on this spaceship of Earth. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hardly take enough time to appreciate where we are in space. I'm not an astronomer, but I've read a few good books and researched a lot of information on the internet - and I've come to believe that we are on a planet in a vast ocean of what seems like an infinite amount of other planets and galaxies. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>How many times do you think we've had this conversation? </p>
<p>Do you think the first time I asked you that question you had the same answer? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why do you think this is the first time you have existed?</p>
<p>Who is to say that you have not assumed thought or form before this current incarnation you are experiencing? </p>
<p>Who says that there aren't an ocean of other lifeforms in the Universe just as if not more advanced than you and I? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why did you believe the teachers of your youth who taught you that "We are alone in the Universe"?</p>
<p>Why didn't you ask your religious teachers more questions instead of blindly believing everything they said and attributing your lack of answers to "Faith"?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why do we assume that when humans invented the vehicle that vehicles themselves were being invented for the first time in the entirety of the Universe?</p>
<p>Why do we continue to think of the human race as the "pinnacle of "gods" creation?"</p>
<p>Why do we not see ourselves as part of a vast and infinite Universe filled with planets and beings?</p>

<p>Why do you believe that history began on Earth? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What if there are multiple human histories previous to that which we already know about?</p>
<p>What if time travel has been invented, not only years ago - but maybe 100's of years ago, and by other beings?</p>

<p>What if so-called aliens are really time-traveling future humans? </p>
<p>What if time-travel was discovered by distant alien species, and what if those aliens have orchestrated many of our religious tales simply by use of their technology?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What if our earliest ideas of who the gods were came from alien visitors to Earth?</p>

<p>What if we really are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUWSiyS62hI" target="_blank">caught in the middle of an infinite toroidal loop of life imagining itself will escape</a>?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Think what you want, that's the beauty of these lives we live - no one cares what you <em>really</em> think about much of anything, as long as you play your part, do your job, pay your taxes, feed your family. </p>
<p>I haven't hid in a corner with my opinions, my website is a testament to my openness - that I have a mind that asks questions, and also the guts to research my answers while allowing the new information to change my opinions of the world around me. </p>
<p>Can you do the same? </p>

Forgiveness?
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><em>Welcome to 2015!</em></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it everything you thought it'd be? </p>
<p>Remember dreaming of the future when you were a child? Remember wondering what the year 2000 would look like? Remember imagining flying cars and hoverboards? It was a better and brighter future - one where everything was cleaner and made perfect sense. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does that sound anything like the 2015 we've been living in so far? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This year I really wanted to focus on putting love first in my life. I know that sounds ridiculous - and anyone who knows me in person knows that I'm not a lovey-dovey "<em>come hold my hand and sing kumbaya</em>" type guy - but I really have been making an effort to, what I call - Love First & Love Hard.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LFLH?src=hash" target="_blank">#LFLH</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Because 2014 was pretty awful for a lot of people. Check out <a href="http://www.torontosun.com/2014/12/29/celebrity-deaths-in-2014" target="_blank">this list</a> of some of the many people who died during 2014. </p>
<p>And it's not just other peoples' lives that were affected last year - my own family has gone through some pretty challenging stuff, to say the least. </p>
<p>Nothing that I really feel like talking about at this point, but maybe some day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So my thought was this, "<em>Wow 2014, you really sucked for a lot of people. I don't want 2015 to be that bad - whatever I can do, I'm doing</em>!" </p>
<p>But really, what can anyone do to change anything right? The negative thoughts are like a tidal wave when anyone tries to attempt something positive, right? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My plan has been to put love first, in whatever I am doing - and to love hard. To "<em><a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" target="_blank">be the change that I would like to see in the world</a></em>." instead of waiting for someone else to be the change for me. </p>
<p>Not that I know exactly what all that means - but it sounded good back in December, so I'm sticking to it. I've been trying to see the different situations in my life through a lens of love, which admittedly has sort of been like some paternal love of everything and everyone lately. </p>
<p>Confession time - I may not know what real and true love is. </p>
<p>That's a hard truth to swallow, but when your website slogan and life motto is, "<em>Side with the truth and you'll always be right</em>." you just have to accept a few of these soul-searching things. </p>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">I'm not talking about who has the power to forgive YOU, per se', but I'm talking about forgiveness, as a verb. I mean, where IS forgiveness?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">Think about it for a bit. I forgive you, you forgive me, our gods forgive us, we forgive them - whatever, but where is this forgiveness? Pin it down for me so I can touch it - show me exactly where forgiveness is and what it looks like. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">If I pay your debt, your debt is forgiven.

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">But emotional forgiveness, the real meat and potatos of what we are referring to here - that stuff, the good stuff - that's inside your heart. Nowhere else. Period. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">There is no etherical forgiveness, no out or up there forgiveness that anyone really desires, no. The forgiveness which we both give and receive - is from our hearts. That's the type that means something to us, that affects our entire lives. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;"></div>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">To me, there is a clear definition - one that I would like to share with you through the teachings of my life experiences, and if it helps you, then that will bring me great joy. </div>

Well, the event is in a space of time that we would literally have to turn the planets and Solar System backwards to see. So the event itself - is a memory, it is nothing etheric, out there, it is not something you can place in your hand or throw away - the event and the memory are in your heart. </div>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 582px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">We all know that carrying around bitterness and fear in our hearts is detrimental to our own health - we have to live inside these bodies for the rest of our lives, let's try not to pollute them with the various toxins released into our bloodstream when we enter states of fear and extreme bitterness. This life we live, these states of mind we are in - all begin at the state of our hearts. It is the first thing formed in the womb, and the thing literally pumping your life-giving blood all around your body right now. </div>
<p>But for our topic at hand - and although there are SO SO many different things I could be writing about today - I wanted to talk specifically about forgiveness. </p>

<p><br>I have been through it, I've had what some would call "a rough start" in life; outside of how I was raised - I've been through betrayal, divorce, abandonment, isolation, clinical depression, suicide attempts, helplessness, and all the feelings of failure and heartache that go along with it.</p>
<p><br>But can we truly forgive? And what is forgiveness?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To me, there is a clear definition - one that I would like to share with you through the teachings of my life experiences - and if it helps you, then that will bring me great joy. <br><br>If someone abused you in a criminal way, where is that now? Where is the event? Well, the event is in a space of time that we would literally have to turn the planets and Solar System backwards to see. So the event itself - is a memory, it is nothing etheric, out there, it is not something you can place in your hand or throw away - the event and the memory are in your heart. </p>
<p><br>What a polluted place our hearts must be!</p>
<p><br>We all know that carrying around <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_brog__ep75__bitterness/" target="_blank">bitterness</a> and fear in our hearts is detrimental to our own health - we have to live inside these bodies for the rest of our lives, let's try not to pollute them with the various toxins released into our bloodstream when we enter states of fear and extreme bitterness.</p>
<p>This life we live, these states of mind we are in - all begin at the state of our hearts. It is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_development" target="_blank">first thing formed</a> in the womb, and the thing literally pumping your life-giving blood all around your body right now. </p>
<p>It's hard to forget a theif robbing you. It's harder still to leave your doors open at night after the theif has been caught. And if that theif shows up and asks to come into your house for tea - would you let him? </p>
<p>What I'm talking about isn't forgetting things that have happened to you. What I'm talking about is a heart-based and heart-centered forgiveness. When you can get to the place where you realize that no matter what the theif has done or taken from you, you don't want your entire life and heart to be sullied as a result of it, for your own health and mental sanity. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The theif took something, definitely - there is no arguing that. But the theif stole from you in a system governed by laws. The theif will get caught, there will be justice - and none of that will change that you still have to deal with your heart and your own forgiveness. </p>
<p>Can you let go of the pain? Can you accept that you have been wronged - and yes it hurts like hell, but can you decide in your core to not allow the past to continue to haunt your future? Can you forgive the person? Can you see that this person has made mistakes - like you have yourself? And in seeing that, can you accept that you would also enjoy the same forgiveness if you had wronged someone in a similar fashion? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We all make mistakes, we are all human - and we all have these same challenges of dealing with forgiveness. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been through a lot in my life, and I'm sure there's more to come - but I am not holding any grudges against anyone who has wronged me - what's done is done. I forgive you, not only for your sake - but for my sake too. I even forgive myself for the mistakes that I have made - especially the ones of my youth! </p>
<p>But that's what life is all about - we all have to grow and learn. We can't just keep repeating these dramas over and over to get even, because then we're perpetuating the very things that have upset us so much in the first place!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has to end with you. Allow the drama to come to an end. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I cannot allow anyone who has wronged me to torment my daily life, that is a repetitious felony, when once was enough. I try to let these negative experiences go, it happened and now it's over. Let's move on. Life here is short. We'll all be dead one day, let's not waste this life while we are still yet alive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And if you can master this type forgiveness - you can truly love first and love hard in 2015. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I believe in you. </p>
<p> </p>

2014 In Review
<p> </p>
<p>What can I say about 2014 that I haven't <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=news" target="_blank">already said</a>?</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=news"><img src="http://www.adamjosh.com/images/2014_Brogs_resized.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="232" width="358" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm hoping that 2015 is a year of love. </p>
<p>I don't really want to talk about 2014 actually. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, let's make 2015 a year of love, let's try to keep love in the centre of our dealings with each other. Let's use our intent to make 2015 a year with love at its very core. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been to too many funerals in 2014, too much sickness with friends and family, and way too much drama going on in the news. </p>
<p>There obviously was some good things, but looking back on the year as a whole - I can't help but just get... is that sadness? Yes, it very well may be sadness that I'm feeling when I think about 2014. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe your year was better than mine - I don't know. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In any event, let's make 2015 a year of love. </p>
<p>That's the theme for the new year. Love. </p>

Sober Year In Review
<p> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/e5354a0c0335a510925e69186b5719be3a173020/original/shotssss.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzE3eDIzNiJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="236" width="317" /></p>
<p>So I've literally drank not even one drop of alcohol this last year. </p>
<p>I remember sitting down with a beer and a shot the day before my birthday last year and saying, "That's it, I quit - I'm not drinking anymore."</p>
<p>These last few years I haven't been drinking much either way, and I've done a whole year without drinking before - but this time was a little different, aside from the fact that I am getting older, and older...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The first few weeks were the hardest. You know I live alone, I don't have anyone looking after me or anyone I report to - no one to "come home to", so realistically I can - and have done - whatever the hell I want, whenever I want. </p>
<p>Anyway, so if I want to have a few drinks I usually do - but this last year I decided not to. </p>
<p>Also, I've been <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/vegan_year_in_review/" target="_blank">Vegan</a> for over a year now, and maybe that had something to do with it. Balancing out your diet ultimately does affect a lot of other things. </p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/twenty_fourteen/" target="_blank">November</a> of 2013 I took a month off working and went out West, then came back through the United States. You would think I'd probably have a few drinks during that time - especially since I was staying in hotels and visiting friends and whatnot, but truth be told - I did not have one drop of alcohol at all. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So this last year has been full of challenges - and I'm glad I was able to face them sober and head-on. Between starting a <a href="http://www.smithssanitationsupply.ca" target="_blank">new job</a>, opening a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOE6Mcvwb40&list=UUU00hz_bjFa2eg4DDuh7TGA" target="_blank">new restaurant</a>, and dealing with the various <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/I%20Think%20My%20Dads%20Gone%20Crazy%20-%202014?sort=3&page=1" target="_blank">family issues</a> we've faced this year - it really has been quite the ride. </p>
<p>My birthday fell on a Sunday this year, and I had thought about having a drink (alone) to see where exactly my head is at with the whole thing (before saying yes or no to invites to "have a few drinks with friends"). </p>
<p>I did in fact go to the LCBO and buy a few things that I used to enjoy. Put it this way; the taste of alcohol now disgusts me, I didn't like the feeling, I found I wasn't "thirsty" enough keep drinking - and between forcing the effort and the strange feelings in the morning - it wasn't really worth it. </p>
<p>So it took me a while to finish off what I used to be able to drink in an average night - and that's that. I haven't had anything to drink since then, and I don't plan on it. I sleep fine at night - something I used to think could only be achieved by drinking - and really, with all the nonsense I have to deal with in my family thanks to alcoholism, it's probably better for me personally if I don't pick up the habit (again).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So with another few days of having no alcohol in my system behind me now - I can safely say that I think me and alcohol are not a thing anymore. I was thinking maybe if the stars align or the mood is right, that I might enjoy a dry martini or something fruity and fancy - but how often that will happen, and how often will it happen in such a way that I don't have to drive anywhere afterwards? Who knows, maybe it'll never happen. I don't want to say, "I will never drink alcohol again" - but basically that's what it feels like. </p>
<p>So if you've never gone off the deep end with alcohol then congrats. If you've never cared one way or the other if you had it every week or not - congrats. If you could go without drinking for a month - congrats. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And if you can't, then I suggest you start trying now, because alcohol abuse is a symptom of a greater underlying problem inside you - and no matter how much you drink if that's the case - it will never be enough. The trouble with alcoholism is that there is a definite and absolute "enough" for the human body. Your kidneys know an "enough". Your heart and brain know an "enough". So I hope for you and your loved ones' sake that you don't ever get to find out your bodies' limit the hard way when it comes to alcohol. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>With all that being said - have fun, it's your life. </p>
<p>If you want to, grab a drink! Hey, have one for me too. </p>
<p>I'll even drive you home and hold your hair later if you want. </p>

September's Gone & I'm 33
<p> </p>
<p>We skipped September here at <a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Adam+Josh" target="_blank">adamjosh.com</a></p>
<p>We apparently started talking in third person since then too!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What happened to this whole year? It's as if it was 2012 like last week or something! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So it's October and that means - most importantly - that my birthday is coming. Yes, Scorpio Season is approaching. This year I turn 33. </p>
<p>I guess I've been writing blogs about how I feel about where I'm at in life around my birthday for a while now; </p>
<p> </p>
<ul>

<li><a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_jerks" target="_blank">Before turning 27</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>I know - I've had this website for a while now!</p>
<p>That's a good spot to say that I appreciate the people who have frequented the website over the years - so here's to you!</p>
<p>If you saw how much traffic this website gets - and had any business sense - you'd probably slap me upside the head for not "monetizing the traffic" by now. Call me crazy, but <a href="http://www.anythingincorporated.com" target="_blank">I work</a> - as many of you know - and I don't really feel like placing ads on my website(s) or charging for my music. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, reflections for the year anyone? </p>
<p>It's been a crazy year. I had to <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/I%20Think%20My%20Dads%20Gone%20Crazy%20-%202014?sort=3&page=1" target="_blank">commit my dad</a> this year. It all started with a concerned message on Twitter, then a phone call, then a visit - then many days in Ottawa with my sister, police and hospitals, and ultimately... they saw it our way, thankfully. </p>
<p>Dad's recently been moved to a retirement home in Ottawa and has stabilized mentally, so I - and other people in my family - really feel like we saved a life here. </p>
<p>Also, dad finally thanked me in his own words last visit, so that was a plus. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Changing topics, what else was up for this last year of being 32? </p>
<p>I went and got glasses. Yeah. Apparently I'm a candidate for laser eye surgery. If you have any thoughts or opinions on that, please message me - because I'm still out to lunch on my opinion on lasik. </p>
<p>Anyway, it's nice to see clearly. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been Vegan for over a year now. And I thought after a year that I may "revert" or start eating meat, or go back to being a Vegetarian - but you know what? I like being a Vegan. It's "sticking". </p>
<p>I don't really want to drink dairy or eat meat - so I guess I'm still a diet-only Vegan. Yes, I add the caveat there because I drive cars with leather seats and have leather boots and wear a leather jacket that a friend gave me - so I can't exactly be a "real" Vegan. That, and I serve and sell people chicken still. </p>
<p>Haha, yeah, there's that too. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>While mainly working in the GTA I used my nights and weekends to help build the new restaurant in the City of Welland. </p>
<p>Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOE6Mcvwb40" target="_blank">montage video</a> I made pretty quickly, if you're interested in that sort of thing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still been paying weekly visits to Mom, still always keeping an eye open for new oppourtunities and new investment ideas. </p>
<p>I feel like I haven't been traveling as much as I would like. I know I just recently got back from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuZrqBD_-u0" target="_blank">PEI</a>, then before that a <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/twenty_fourteen/" target="_blank">West Coast</a> through Canada and then back through the United States trip - but I keep feeling like I need some more distant travel - like a tropical island. </p>
<p>So if you see me traveling to someplace warm and far away soon - you heard it here first. Can it be possible that I'm tired of traveling this continent? It's so beautiful and awesome - but it's still Canada/America. You know? </p>
<p>I've never even been to Mexico! What's with that!? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than that... let's see... I made a website for <a href="http://www.smithssanitationsupply.ca" target="_blank">Smith's</a>, finally. Only been in business for 25 years - I guess it's time we have a website! Ha. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still single, still crazy. Still sober! About that, yes - I have not had one drop of alcohol in this body since I was 31. That is the honest truth. I'm not a Muslim or "against alcohol" anymore than a child of alcoholics would be - but we'll see what 33 holds - I may just have a drink or two. We'll see. Keep in mind I also said that same thing when I went out West for a month, but I never did touch a bottle. Not even so much as a shot. </p>
<p>Strange how years of personal reflection and study changes you. I recommend it. </p>
<p>There's more I could talk about but this is already getting pretty lengthy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for the future - wow, that's a big topic. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I see me in a new home. I see a few more vehicles. I see a woman who will put up with me. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Either that or endless solitude. Tough call. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I see both I guess. Haha. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd also like to make some more music. I've been putting it off because I'm pissed off about recording equipment. I want to keep recording better and higher quality but it seems as though eventually you hit a wall if you aren't willing to head to a professional studio. We'll see what happens - I'm open to change. Even been feeling out being a lead singer in a band lately. </p>
<p>I'll always have a few tricks up my sleeve. And you know I like my secrets! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been moving through a lot of lovey emotions lately, like I've come to some conclusions about my life that I've been viewing through the eyes of a loving version of myself. It's nuts. I'm just in "love" mode... which is new for me. I love everyone and everything, like some paternal or maternal love. I know you're not my kids - but is it weird if I love you like you are anyway? </p>
<p>Yeah, so I've been single for a while. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/i_know_youre_out_there/" target="_blank">I know she's out there</a>... somewhere. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
<p>Talk later lovelies, you're the bestest! </p>
<p> </p>

August, And Everything After
<p> </p>
<p>So that Summer sort of sucked. </p>
<p>I guess we can offically thank the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_sulfate_aerosols_(geoengineering)" target="_blank">Stratospheric Sulfate Aerosol Injection</a>. </p>
<p>Or are they calling it <a href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-tech/remediation/atmospheric-sun-shade1.htm" target="_blank">Atmospheric Aerosol Injection</a>?</p>
<p>Or was it <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/give-geoengineering-a-chance-to-fix-climate-change-david-keith-1.2586882" target="_blank">Geo-Engineering</a>? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't remember - I've just always called it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTxvWLrUeE8" target="_blank">Chemtrails</a>. But I guess if you call it that, then you are "letting the <em>Conspiracy Theorists</em>" win. </p>
<p>And the Alex Jones' of the world can't win. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, educate yourself on <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/ajob_55__special_report_adams_kooky_over_chemtrails/" target="_blank">chemtrails</a>. It's what you're <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_brog__ep85__take_chemtrails_seriously/" target="_blank">breathing</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm just one guy, no I don't think I can stop the massive Chemtrail Program myself. </p>
<p>I think there's so much to it that many of us don't understand - so I guess I'm just frustrated sometimes when there's still people out there that can't even acknowledge that it's happening - and has been happening since the 90's so far as I can tell. </p>

Vegan Year In Review
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/391870/4874d56620f4096913dc24b351de840775ab4946/original/bvluueecaaaf1w-resized.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzQ2eDI1MSJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Vegan Year_resized" height="251" width="346" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since I've been eating Vegan for a year now, I thought it would be a good idea to write a Year In Review weblog.</p>
<p>I have to be honest, I'm a little nervous actually - and that's a first for me - because I know how many people are interested in this subject. I'm aware of how many restaurants follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/adamjoshdotcom" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, and how many of my friends and family are wondering how the hell I am alive after being a Vegan for a year!</p>
<p>I know you respect my opinion, so let's get right to it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was born in Canada, to a regular old Canadian family who ate regular Canadian food. </p>
<p>My dad's specialty is BBQ. He would BBQ in all seasons, outside in the backyard or on the front porch. He loves burnt steak. He's great with chicken wings, and always made a mean stir-fry. We had all the regular stuff like bacon and eggs, ham, yearly turkey dinner, and gigantic meat-fests around certain holidays. </p>
<p>As I got a little older and my parents divorced, I went to live with my mom for the last stretch of living with the rents'. Mom preferred that I cook the fish, but other than that - she was great with meatloaf, pork chops, and frying steaks. Yes, frying. Dad's thing was BBQ, mom wouldn't go near a BBQ - too dangerous!</p>
<p>Some of you have heard the story, but I moved out of my moms house when I was 17. I had started working full time and along with dropping out of high school, I also decided - in my infinite wisdom - to move out on my own and begin my "adult life"... at 17. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've went through all this preamble because I wanted to point out that I've realized a huge part of what you decide to eat is a result of your family, and whoever you happen to be eating with on a daily basis. I've noticed many people I've talked with about my diet usually say things like,</p>
<p><em><strong>"I'd love to go Vegetarian but my _________ would never go for that!"</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I'm 17 and working full time. I had my own apartment and realized pretty quickly that no one was telling me what to eat. I was a bit of a functioning alcoholic until I was 20, so many of those years are a bit blurry, but I do remember eating eggs, potato, spaghetti, and making myself breakfasts - while of course eating out quite a lot.</p>
<p>My dad is a pretty decent cook, and I am my Fathers son after all, so I was able to feed myself - maybe not in a way that Current Me would approve of, but hey - we made it out alive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>All this started to get mixed up when I started questioning life and beginning my "Quest for Truth". Now being on my own, without any family influence - I was left to my own imaginations and direction. And if you've followed me for any amount of time - you have an idea of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3meIcnKtlec" target="_blank">distant places</a> these thoughts tend to go. </p>
<p>I wound up in a Bible College after I started studying religious literature - reading as much as I could about whatever subject would interest me at the time. I came to the conclusion pretty quickly while in Bible College that the god of the bible instructed his children to abstain from a bunch of foods - one of them being Pork. I reasoned it like this, </p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>"Moses didn't eat Pork, King David didn't eat Pork, the Messiah didn't eat Pork, the Apostles didn't eat Pork - and now Adam doesn't eat Pork."</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got kicked out second year - that's a <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/on_peter_youngren/" target="_blank">whole other story</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It probably would have been more challenging for me to quit eating certain meats back then if it wasn't for my <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_coolest_person_i_know/" target="_blank">adopted Muslim family</a>. You probably know that Muslims don't eat Pork, and all the meat they do eat has to be Halal - which makes it interesting for a Muslim to dine out in Canada. I've not converted to Islam, to be clear. </p>
<p>So my diet for the bulk of my 20's turned out to be a regular Canadian diet, minus the Pork and Shellfish. I definitely did go through a phase where I thought about converting to Judaism - but in the end, I made it out the other side of this whole Mass-Murdering God and his control on people thing. That's a whole <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWyXLBFJrVk" target="_blank">other subject</a> though, and we're here to keep things light and talk about diet. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That brings us up to my late 20's. Somewhere towards the end I decided to stop eating meat and go Vegetarian. Being familiar with Indian/Pakistani, Palestini/Israeli, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese foods - I went into it knowing full-well that the bulk of India are Vegetarians and somehow live quite happily. I went into being a Vegetarian with a good sense of what to eat and what not to eat, put it that way. </p>
<p>I also entirely stopped drinking alcohol around the same time. I was getting more into spirituality as opposed to religion, and was thinking more about my body and the various energies I was consuming. Of course - like anyone with internet access - I watched a boatload of slaughterhouse videos, which I'll spare you here. </p>
<p>If you haven't yet - take some time out and think about where exactly all your food comes from, and the conditions surrounding it getting from Point A to your plate. It's way different nowadays than when our parents or their parents were growing up. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I'd occasionally eat fish, but other than that - I was a Vegetarian for 2 years before going Vegan. You can see the gears turning in this video which I recorded February 27th, 2012:</p>

<p>In between all this thinking about my diet, we had a crazy idea to open a restaurant - we like money, and everybody eats.</p>
<p>After some research it was decided that we would invest in and open up a franchise chicken restaurant. Actually, we just finished building our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYW5h7-4Hvw" target="_blank">second location</a> in the City of Welland and are about to announce its Grand Opening - so I'm happy to report that business is doing very well. </p>
<p>Picture me cutting, battering, cooking and serving chicken to guests during the first restaurants <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aplFbr9kIck" target="_blank">first year</a> - as a Vegetarian. </p>
<p>I can see you smirking from here. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone knows I try to be as honest as I can, and during those times my head went through quite the amusement park of thoughts - believe me. When we opened the restaurant in January of 2013 I had been Vegetarian for over 2 years. In August of 2013 I had <a href="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rltv4t" target="_blank">this dream</a> - and then everything changed. </p>

<p>It took a while for me to process all this change I was going through, but I eventually started writing about it on the website <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/a_conversation_in_diet/" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that basically brings us up to today. Give or take a few details. </p>
<p>I've been a Vegan for the last year; no dairy, no meat, no fish, no gelatin, etc., etc.. And it's not been that hard for me because I live alone, still. I eat whenever and whatever I want, usually. </p>
<p>And I'd like to say right off the top here that I have some really great friends. It takes a lot of patience to deal with someone when they go Vegan, and many thanks have to be said to my friends and family for their understanding during the transition. I've never enjoyed being the guy people have to rearrange their dinner or dining plans for. It can be frustrating trying to accommodate a Vegan, and I admire all of you Carnivores who suffer us crazy plant eaters. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>All that being said - what has the last year been like? It's been great, I feel great, and I've met some amazing people. </p>
<p>If you're hoping to get some recipes out of me, you've come to the wrong place - and I'd have to point you to elsewhere.</p>
<p>It's been interesting to meet a few restaurant reviewers like old Jessica. Something I have been doing unintentionally is actually a respected profession nowadays. I was thrilled to be able to eat at the various places we've enjoyed together - and I look forward to more in the future! </p>

If you're going Vegan you're going to have to deal with figuring out how to maintain a balance between your budget and your belly. </p>

I met a Vegetarian at a bar once, and she told me she was a Vegetarian for a year and it almost killed her. Of course I had to ask what her diet was like, and she told me, "Cheese pizza, fries, and soda." </p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I told her right then and there, </p>

I seriously doubt if a "Canadian" Vegetarian diet is healthy, or even worth attempting. You can quote me on that, and please don't think you're eating smart if you're just eating carrots, potatoes, and berries. </p>

I've met a few Raw Foods Vegans. I have e-mails in my inbox right now from Militant Vegans, Ethical Vegans and from Religious Vegans.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </p>
<p><strong>Militant Vegans</strong> - These are the types of Vegans who would kill slaughterhouse owners just so they could see everyone stop eating meat.</p>
<p><strong>Religious Vegans</strong> - Those who take their diet as a sign of their piety.</p>
<p><strong>Ethical Vegans</strong> - Those who want to throw out all your clothes and make sure everything everywhere in everyone's life got there without harming any animal in any way, shape, or form.</p>
<p><strong>Raw Foods Vegans</strong> - Humanity went wrong at fire guys! </p>

Lego My Ego
<p> </p>
<p>My ego is out of control. </p>
<p>I remember when I was working at Volvo at 17 years old and people would accuse me of being arrogant and egotistical. I remember arguing with them, "If a man is on the cover of GQ Magazine, and then goes around afterwards telling people that he is on the cover of GQ - does that make him arrogant?"</p>
<p>I used to come into work on a Monday and tell these 50 year old men about my weekends of debauchery. </p>
<p>They would smile, and I knew that somewhere in there they were remembering their own wayward ways of youth. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I've had to deal with my ego my whole life. </p>
<p>Nowadays we have diagnoses and medical terms to pigeonhole things into easier to manage compartments. It's easy to say that mental illness runs in my family - it's easy to say my brother is autistic, and that my dad is currently in a mental hospital and has been diagnosed as being bi-polar, paranoid schizophrenic and incapable of handling his own finances. </p>
<p>It's easy to say that my mother has PTSD, clinical depression, and has been on disability and unable to work since she came to Canada. </p>
<p>It's not hard at all for me to write about my <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/firestarter/" target="_blank">dark past</a>, my <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/many_many_problems/" target="_blank">family situation</a>, or how much drama I've been through in my life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know that when I say I was abused as a child that people will take pity on me. </p>
<p>I know that when I write about my <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/why_im_alive/" target="_blank">suicide attempts</a> and previous depression and multiple hospitalizations that the average person will stand back a bit and let me get away with quite a lot. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We can throw around buzz words like ADHD, manic, bi-polar, depressed etc., but for all the titles and all the doctors and pills and life experience it doesn't change the fact that everyone has ego. </p>
<p>Yes everyone has ego. Even the gods have ego. Aliens have ego. Presidents have ego, Pastors have ego. Imams have ego, even the old Dalai Lama himself has ego. </p>
<p>Ego is your personality interface, and without it you wouldn't be an individual. Bottom line. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I have to keep my ego in check. Being a self-aware Scorpio - I am aware of my predisposition to issues of pride, control, seduction, revenge etc., etc. A large portion of my life is actually spent controlling myself. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I check my ego when I say the following things:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am a Vegan. I do not drink alcohol. I do not do drugs. I am the healthiest 32 year old I know. </p>
<p>I play guitar, drums, bass, piano, recorder, harmonica and other various instruments. </p>
<p>I have multiple self-released albums under my belt, and have been in various bands, recorded in studio for various people, been on the radio, on television, in movie theatres, I've played an untold amount of live shows, and I've had my music for free here on my own website for 10 years. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've had a few people lately stand in awe of how fast I could make a functional website on a business domain name - not a .wordpress.net or .freecrappywebsite.yousuck.org thing. From domain name to ready to use - it took me less than an hour. </p>
<p>I can film, edit, and produce video faster than anyone I've ever met. I have 3 YouTube Channels to attest to my eccentricity; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MrAdamJosh" target="_blank">One</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ADAMJOSHORALBROG" target="_blank">two</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Adam2Joshua" target="_blank">three</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I worked my ass off and became a manager of a company when I was still in my early 20's. I had dropped out of high school to start working. That bugged me so I went back while working two part-time jobs and finished it and currently own a Secondary School Diploma - not a G.E.D. </p>
<p>Then I put myself through a year and a half of college, completed multiple online university courses - and am currently a certified and over-qualified service technician, along with being a licensed forklift operator, a card-carrying Private Investigator, licensed Security Officer, and a certified restaurant manager. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are currently building our <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/Welland%20Restaurant%202014?page=1" target="_blank">second restaurant</a>, after almost 20 years of being in unrelated business - such as Rust Check, roofing, construction, carpet cleaning, car maintenance, and at-home services - yes it's true, I have built not only houses from the ground up, but also businesses, cottages, machines, and vehicles. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have traveled. Not as much as I would like, but all across Canada and the United States, through parts of England and Scotland, and many many other places. </p>
<p>I am a certifiable genius. I say that fully aware of your instinct to scoff at me. My brain operates on a level that many simply do not understand. I have been tested and prodded the bulk of my life - and I keep coming out on the winning end. I can speak and read multiple languages, I've read more books than I can count - and my hobbies have actually been to study World Religions, Business, Future-Technology, Exopolitics, and Social Studies. </p>
<p>I've read the Bible 13 times in my life. I've read the Quran 3 times, with the tafsir once, and many many hadith. I've also read the Book of Mormon, and many other religious pieces from all over the Earth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You may have heard me over the years railing against the gods, or some particular religion...</p>
<p>

</object>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've worked all over Canada. I've been ice fishing in North Saskatchewan, I've preached in churches in Manitoba, I've tasted both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, I know the humidity of both Niagara and San Francisco. </p>
<p>I've been married, divorced, engaged again - and have dated more women than I can count. I've dated models, slept in fancy hotels, driven in limousines, flown in private planes, dined with celebrities and dignitaries, and I've swam naked in the river that runs through British Columbia. </p>
<p>I've owned countless vehicles, and put my "vehicles driven" count at well over 10,000. Not even joking. </p>
<p>I've turned down extremely lucrative job offers, bribes, and said no to opportunities many will never come across. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>All this being said - these aren't things I think about on a daily basis. Maybe it's my various "mental illnesses", or the way my mind works - but none of these things amuse me. I am forcing myself right now to get all this out, to write down some things that bring out my ego - those of you who know me will know that these aren't things I would ever talk about in person.</p>
<p>I was raised by Pakistani Muslims from age 16 onwards - and have been instilled with patience, humility, and the ability to lay low as a result. Hard to believe - I know - but once I have done something it's done with, I don't live in my past - ask my ex-wife!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I have this giant and out of control ego that I have to keep in check. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed. We all have ego. We can't lego our ego, we can only do our best to keep them in check. </p>
<p>I am whatever I am, and when I die - whenever that happens - I will happily move on from this mortal coil to somewhere completely new and different. And I have life insurance too, so it will be pretty cool for those left behind who I have put in my will. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm a 32 year old single male with a head full of memories, a busy day to day life, and people who for whatever reason - tolerate and apparently love me. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I apologize to anyone I come off wrong to, I deal with my ego on a daily basis. I don't need anyone to tell me about how arrogant I am, or how I can seem to be puffed up or this or that - I am well aware of these things and have been dealing with it since I was in my teens. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm just excited about life sometimes, and I have a weird sense of adventure. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you. </p>
<p> </p>

Islamic Funeral
<p> </p>
<p>I went to my first Islamic funeral today. </p>
<p>I've read quite a lot about the whole process over the years - it's a very unique way of burial, and I recommend you do <a href="http://www.missionislam.com/knowledge/funeral.htm" target="_blank">some study</a> if you're interested in the whole life and death and religion thing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Habiboula was a customer of ours, I remember him placing Auto Trader ads with me back in 2008. I remember Rust Check'ing his cars, and I remember seeing him around town.</p>
<p>More than anything - I remember him at the masjid during Ramadan. </p>
<p>I've been going to the local masjid since 2001. I have been involved in the Islamic Community here in Niagara for over a decade - and as many know - my <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_coolest_person_i_know/" target="_blank">adopted dad</a> is a Muslim. </p>
<p>I have fasted during Ramadan - out of curiosity mostly - a handful of times over the years. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My adopted Uncle Jay has always helped prepare the iftar meal at the masjid during Ramadan, and over the years I have found myself there with him, setting out dates, preparing drinks, picking up food from whoever is donating that year, and arranging tables. </p>
<p>Over those years I noticed a tall Afghani man also coming early with food for the community to share as they break their fast. He always brought giant pots or platters of meat - usually fish, and he would sit on the ground on a mat with as many people as he could invite with him, and he would eat with them while laughing and telling stories - this man was Habiboula. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many many times I sat and ate with him, being one of the only white guys alone in the masjid - I think he must have had some pity on me or something, so he'd often invite me to sit with him, as he recognized me from work. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently Mr. Habiboula has a wife and kids home in Afghanistan, it's a shame that they couldn't make it to his funeral today. I was told that doctors had sent notice to them that the stomach cancer was looking serious and that they should come quick - but I suppose that a few days notice just wasn't enough. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><br>My last memory of Habiboula was last Ramadan actually. </p>
<p>I was working a management shift at our restaurant in St. Catharines and in walks Habiboula with two giant pots full of uncooked fish. He puts them on the counter and says, "Adam brother, I need you to cook these for me, sundown is coming and I have to bring this food to the masjid for iftari."</p>
<p>I remember it very well, I had to politely tell him that I was unable to help him, that our restaurant is a franchise operation and that I am not allowed by Head Office to do such things. </p>
<p>I remember thinking about how I could help him, if there was any way. I took the fish while he ran and did errands for a few minutes. I kept the food in our cooler while he was gone and I made phone calls to relatives in hopes that we could do something - because I was there with him many Ramadans before - and I know very well that his intentions were purely to feed the Muslim Community at the masjid after they had been fasting all day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unfortunately, time was running out and there truly was nowhere or no way I could have helped him without completely screwing myself at the restaurant - so I had to return his fish pots back to him. He was rightfully upset, and I apologized. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This was the last encounter I had with Habiboula. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today I found out that he passed away due to stomach cancer, exactly one year later after I last saw him, and right after Ramadan. </p>
<p>I helped bury him myself. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest In Peace Habiboula - you will be <a href="http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/AdamJosh/library/Habiboula?sort=3&page=1" target="_blank">missed</a>. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>And when you think about it like that, you fill up with such emotion - that the rest seems almost petty. </p>
<p>You'd describe it as love maybe. </p>
<p>But there's also a feeling of sorrow, or saying sorry. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A feeling of leaving, yet remaining. </p>
<p>A long hug goodbye, while exchanging glances with old lovers and those you've missed. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tears, it's all you can do now. </p>
<p>You cry and cry and have no catharsis from the tears. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love, and to be loved. </p>
<p>Exploration, discovering anew. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>All that brought you to this point fading.</p>
<p>Your attention moves towards linear time and you notice those lifelong soulmates aging. </p>
<p>You notice yourself aging. </p>
<p>The infinite beauty you experience inwardly doesn't find a connecting point outwardly. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You hope, and rot. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Earth and Earth stuff. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love. Overpowering emotion. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Words aren't enough anymore. </p>
<p> </p>

Turn Adam Around
<p> </p>
<p>I haven't written anything since my last blog entry because every time I thought about it I looked at the <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/blog.html/many_many_problems/" target="_blank">last one</a> and thought - no, that's good enough. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess I should have warned you somewhere on here that this is my personal website - I don't casually delete things, I don't allow comments, I don't care if I get a billion hits a day, and I don't plan on monetizing my traffic. </p>
<p>I hope we can still be friends now that you know I'm mostly just writing to myself. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been through a lot in my life - I'm sure you have too - and you know what? I just like writing out my thoughts sometimes. Sometimes I do it with purpose and vision, other times it's a little more careless. </p>
<p>I'm told I should be quiet, edit myself more, stop sharing everything...</p>
<p>I've been told to shut up since puberty, and you know what? I'm not shutting up as long as I have a means of communication - so let's just get that out of the way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd like to say to those I am a burden to - do you have any idea what it's like to be in the hospital with a suicide note at home? Do you know the depths of depression that would lead someone to literally try to take their own life multiple times? </p>
<p>Can you ever understand that life isn't a rose-coloured candy-cane forest to some people? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really have had some angels in my life you know, for real. Not even joking a little. </p>
<p>I have this family that I'm related to by birth that doesn't talk to me or each other - it's really something. Like divorce plagued the ones who weren't even married in the first place. </p>
<p>And all these years I tried and tried to put the shards together - and you try and try and realize - wow, this is a lot of one-way trying going on here. </p>
<p>I felt like that crazy relative at the family picnic making sure everyone gets more punch and smiles in the group photos. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've told the story a few times, but maybe it needs to be said again...</p>
<p>I left my parents house when I was 17 and moved out on my own. I had started working from a young age - realizing I wasn't ever going to get any money from them. While working my job I met the man who would later take me under his wing and adopt me as his son. </p>
<p>Here we are almost 20 years later and he and I are still joined together by fate. Still working and eating together, still saying crazy Father-Son things to each other, and still driving everyone crazy who has no idea that a Pakistani man is able to adopt a Western kid. </p>
<p>You, you're his dad - he's your son? ... how does that work? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway - to those who think they know me, it's time to take a little trip down Reality Road at Adamsville...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I tried to kill myself I was 16 years old. I hated my life. I tried multiple times to end it. I didn't jump off a bridge because I didn't want anyone to have to clean my dead body off the road, and I didn't want to injure anyone else in my attempt to die. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each time was a little different, but I was mainly trying to off myself with massive overdoses of Big Pharma prescription medications - mine and other peoples'. The "pussies" way out, I was told later. </p>
<p>I didn't just hate my life, but I saw literally no reason to live. I thought it would be better for me personally to die and move on with whatever the afterlife is, than to stay here suffering inside this head with these memories and depression. </p>
<p>I used to write poems back then, and I wasn't a goth kid but I can assure you they were pretty dark. I can't even bring myself to write them out here - even though I remember some. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just need to make it clear to you, I tried to off myself while living with my real dad. I had no respect for him, lost it all when I was younger - in an unrelated story for some other time maybe. My dad has his own bag of personal issues now and is still in a hospital in Ottawa. Life goes on, people have to move on and adapt. </p>
<p>I was involved in church groups back then, I remember how I felt even more isolated after I got out of the hospital. I remember the looks and whispers. Yes you assholes - I tried to kill myself, stare as long as you want - I'm not going anywhere. </p>
<p>This brutal, in-your-face honesty I am able to deliver is something I have noticed is rare these days. Maybe a result of my experiences, maybe just too unique in this day and age. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suffice it to say, when I met my adopted dad I was a wreck. A complete and total wreck. We met literally one year after I got out of the hospital. </p>
<p>I want it to be utterly and perfectly clear to you - I would be a dead man today if it wasn't for Aziz. I would be a drug addict, homeless, in a psychiatric hospital, in a ditch with a needle in my arm, or worse. </p>
<p>I have no words to describe to you the vast difference in culture between our Canadian drinking, partying, doing drugs, cheating on our wives, watching hockey and idolizing celebrities - as compared to a well-educated Pakistani Muslim's culture. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did I deserve someone to take me under their wing and treat me like my real dad could never have imagined treating me? Absolutely not. </p>
<p>Have I said and done things to Aziz over the years that I regret? Absolutely. </p>
<p>Does having a strict Muslim for an adopted Dad make me a Muslim? Absolutely not. </p>
<p>Do I have my own opinions about religion and life after death? You guys <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3meIcnKtlec" target="_blank">KNOW</a> I do. Come on. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I really want it to sink in for you, most of you reading this - sad to say - may never know what it's like to know for certain that one person changed your life forever. I wish that you could have someone like my adopted dad in your life. I don't deserve it, and I wish sometimes he would have listened to me and just let me go my own way. But he never did.</p>
<p>He's <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_coolest_person_i_know/" target="_blank">the coolest person I know</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He saw my life story, my so-called parents and family, and told me, "I won't do that to you Adam, whatever is mine is yours, anything you want of mine - you can have. I don't lie to you, everything I have you know."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How do you repay someone for that? I still ask myself that question. I put his kids under my life insurance plan, I do whatever he asks whenever he asks - I don't know what else I can do - he doesn't need me or anything I do, it's always been the other way around. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, I don't deserve the things I have. I know that. </p>
<p>I came from a divorced family riddled with addiction and mental health issues. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And today I stand a changed man - I am whatever I am, and I am thankful. </p>

Many Many Problems
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently my family now officially does have "<em>a history of mental illness</em>". </p>
<p>I've found myself looking back lately, looking at my own life and the lives of those in my family. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone has issues, right? That's what I keep telling myself. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't stop thinking, "<em>this whole fucking world is bullshit</em>" lately. </p>
<p>And part of me actually wants to apologize, because I know most of you reading this will probably be shocked that I'm swearing - I usually don't swear. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, I just insulted you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not the most cheery of thoughts lately, but I'm looking around and seeing sand slipping through fingers where there once was structure. <a href="https://www.eff.org/files/2014/06/27/8.14.68_utah_airship_flight.2072.jpg" target="_blank">News</a>, politics, religion, culture - you name it - it's bumming me out. </p>
<p>I've been getting angry at nothing, been getting angry at being alone, angry at my friends and family lately. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like I need my space and then resent having it. </p>
<p>Even planets need space. Galaxies pollute the skies, but still we all need our space. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm still 100% sober and Vegan and unmedicated. I'm thinking these are the times where people go to the doctor and wind up on prescriptions for the rest of their lives. </p>
<p>I'm moody, I'm a Scorpio - it's in my nature. I want to be left alone. I want to be loved, I want to have people who care about me - it's all very confusing. I miss sleeping with someone, but get mad at all the nonsense I've had to deal with over the years in relationships. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tear people apart, I tear myself apart. I analyze people until they can't stand me anymore. I'm hard to be around. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5WrG6XJgZ4" target="_blank">I know</a>.</p>
<p>I've noticed my dad is back on Facebook somehow, claiming to be the CEO of some company, all from a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhEaf_92WBM" target="_blank">mental hospital</a> - wow. And all I can do is laugh - and make sure I don't wind up like that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.anythingincorporated.com/" target="_blank">Anything Incorporated</a> is just the name of a website I made. Most of you know <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/the_coolest_person_i_know/" target="_blank">my adopted family</a> runs a few different business. Well instead of naming them all, I decided to have a clearinghouse name, one name to rule them all - and I nicknamed it <a href="https://twitter.com/anythingincbiz" target="_blank">Anything Incorporated</a>, only because we do pretty much Anything. </p>
<p>So because I'm now checking my own "<em>delusions of grandeur</em>" out lately - I wanted to be clear, that I am not the CEO some company named Anything Incorporated. It's not even a legitimate business.</p>
<p>We made a crappy website for it, but it's really just a page to put basic contact info on - everyone knows when you operate Franchises that the Franchisor themselves usually take care of ads and media - so I don't have to make a website for <a href="http://www.rustcheck.com/" target="_blank">Rust Check</a>, for instance. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The family does have non-franchise operations, and some of you will know my involvement in them, but I'm not really interested in talking about how I make money on my personal website <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=bio" target="_blank">adamjosh.com</a> - you may have noticed that I have been giving all my music and other content away at no charge here over the years, which is entirely because I don't give a fuck about taking your hard-earned cash from you. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wait, am I swearing right? I don't do it in real life, so I'm not sure if I'm fucking placing these fucks in all the right fucking places. The fuck was this, the fuck was that. The fuck? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hold on a second. I may not even actually be adopted. That may be another <em>delusion of grandeur</em>. Wow, the sky really is the limit when you start analyzing your own life. I've said that I'm adopted so long, but that doesn't make it so, does it? I don't have any paperwork to prove it, so maybe I'm nothing more than a good worker who has a blog and can sort of play music.</p>
<p>Hmmf. Nobody adopted me, nobody cares. This is all just a figment of my imagination. I don't own this website, I might not even be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHGsv4ViyVQ" target="_blank">Adam Josh</a>! </p>
<p>Anyway, the people who know me in "the business world" in my community know exactly what kind of man I am, and that when it comes to business - they deal with me for a reason. Adam delivers, or dies trying. And I don't chase anyone for money - believe me. </p>
<p>I have life insurance, and many people will wind up pretty happy once I've croaked - but I'm not a millionaire, I don't burn money, and I can't afford many things you probably think I could afford. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=414X1AfJEQw" target="_blank">gold-plated yacht</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So if you're wondering how I've been lately, I've been sad. Sad and trying to keep it together. One of the many reasons I recently took off on a private road trip to our cottage in <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/pei_2014/" target="_blank">PEI</a>. </p>
<p>During the trip my ex-wife started text messaging me because she "<em>was worried about me</em>", and what does it say that I actually enjoyed talking with her? We ranted, we laughed, we told stories, we flirted, I even joked and said, "<em>I think I want a divorce baby</em>".</p>
<p>Like, come on - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNiJHAfqtNA" target="_blank">that's hilarious</a>.</p>
<p>She knows I <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/you_asked_what_the_meaning_of_life_is/" target="_blank">attempted suicide</a> when I was 16, so she's just probably covering her ass though - right? Alleviating future-guilt should I happen to wind up in a ditch somewhere. She did mention that she just found out that I was raped as a child - I had a few reasons I didn't want to live anymore you know.</p>
<p>Yeah it was probably just a guilt-motivated conversation. </p>
<p>No, I'm wrong for thinking that. Yeah, it was me, not you baby. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also received some bad news about a family member dying recently, and all I could think of was the last time I saw him, how he was drinking mixed drink out of a glass and telling me about a boat cruise he'd just been on with his wife - who is devastated by the way. </p>
<p>My friends dad also had a near-death experience, and told me the whole story in person in New Brunswick. It sounded a lot like one of mine, whirling around in a vortex above his body, not in any pain whatsoever, and then whoosh - back in his body. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm upset at the bullshit in the world, I'm upset about the bullshit in my life. I'm upset about all the bullshit in my family. <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/_man_alive/" target="_blank">I want to escape</a> - but where do you run to when the irritations are coming from inside of you, and the ones that aren't coming from inside you are irritations that pertain to Earth and this reality regardless of your geographic location? </p>
<p>You medicate, that's what you do, that's what doctors want you to do - that's what everyone does. Pick a poison and forget about it Adam. Frontal lobe lobotomy, as delivered by the latest and greatest creation from Big Pharma. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't want to burden anyone specific with these types of thoughts, so I'm typing them out here to prevent myself from <a href="http://www.gobluedevil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/blown-head-gasket-www-deaven-net.jpg" target="_blank">blowing a gasket</a>. </p>
<p>I think I made too many back doors into my life lately, and I want people to stop breaking in, so I'm going to limit a bunch of Social Media stuff - until I navigate this rough patch, I hope that's okay with you guys. </p>
<p>So if you're wondering - no, now is not a good time to fuck with Adam. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I'm going back to work now, because it's all I've ever known. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I wind up going crazy-er (apparently it <em>IS</em> in the genes)... I just want it to be clear that I know I'm not a celebrity or a famous musician or a CEO of a Franchise. I'm just a guy who has worked all his life and maybe has spent a wee too much time on the internet - get a girlfriend right?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know, I'm <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/?section=blog/i_know_youre_out_there/" target="_blank">trying</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's one of many, many problems. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don't worry, once we die none of this will matter - it'll be like waking up from a dream where you shrug it off and maybe even laugh a little. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Yes, everyone on all sides of my family plays music - most play <em>more</em> than one instrument. Uncle Jim plays seven instruments - he told me so!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I went to a friends studio 10 years ago and recorded a bunch of tracks with the very first acoustic guitar I ever purchased with my own money, an <a href="http://www.fireybrosmusic.com/SEAGULL%20GUITARS/Image%20Layouts/Art_Lutherie_A&L_Cedar_Dreadnought_Guitar.jpg" target="_blank">Art & Lutherie</a> cherrywood acoustic, great guitar. </p>
<p>Nowadays - all the songs are free to stream or download from the website <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/?section=music" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>I don't know what to tell you folks - I listen to these songs and vaguely remember the guy who recorded them. Some of the songs I still identify with, most I don't. I honestly don't even feel like a musician - maybe in the past I convinced people I was, but truth be told I'm just a hack strumming chords and banging drums, but if you feel like celebrating a 10 year old album with me, here you go.</p>

From A Monastery
<p> </p>
<p>Hey hey hey - remember me? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm the guy that used to update his website with more than just songs here and there!</p>
<p>Well if you can't remember - nice to meet you, I'm Adam. A 32-year-old Vegan crazy person who works a lot and tries to please everyone while pleasing himself. And boy oh boy do I sure please myself. </p>
<p>So I wanted to update the website - not because I have anything to say really, but because I feel like this is my website and I'll write whatever the hell I want when I want, how I want. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been a fun (insert time here) since I last wrote anything here. I suppose I could talk politics or aliens or this or that but let's not bore each other - you don't care about politics, this isn't a News website, and I'm not an anchorman. </p>
<p>Can you believe we're actually opening another restaurant? </p>
<p>Yeah and I'm really fortunate to know all the right people in Welland, so I feel like we're joining the greater community as opposed to starting new somewhere else. Keep up to date over at <a href="http://www.anythingincorporated.com" target="_blank">Anything Incorporated</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am still single, even though I have my very inviting dating profile "<a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/blog.html/i_know_youre_out_there/" target="_blank">I Know You're Out There</a>" online.</p>
<p>It's just not in the cards as of yet - but I'm still hopeful, I mean - she's gotta' be out there... right? </p>
<p>It's 10pm and I've worked all day - I may wander in and out here. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other exciting news is that I've set up the Tama over at my buddy <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfqhAK_Qg8M" target="_blank">Rick's</a> place and he is apparently itching to record some original music - which you know I'm all for. So it looks like this summer - surprise - will be full. </p>
<p>I've set a date next month to head out to the cottage in PEI, something I <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJOQbeU0RI8" target="_blank">always look forward to</a>. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let's see, what else? </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did I tell you guys about my dad in Ottawa? </p>
<p>Haha - it's a lot to talk about, so maybe I'll just save the details for some other time, but he's safe and sound and that makes me happy. We're going up this weekend to have a look at how he's doing since he's been in the hospital for over a month now. </p>
<p>Ideally we will have him moved out soon, into a proper setting. </p>
<p>Parents - make sure you have a living will written out just incase - you never know what may happen, and you want to have it in clear writing what your will is should you happen to be hospitalized for whatever reason. Trust me on this one - make a living will. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than all that - I'm good - thanks for asking. I'd still like to squeeze out more time to make music, I'd really like to be able to play more than my usual handful of live acoustic shows this summer. I simply don't have time anymore for band stuff, I have no idea how we're even jamming over at Rick's place. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm pretty irritated about the <a href="http://scenemusicfestival.com/" target="_blank">S.C.E.N.E Music Festival </a>lineup for this year. I have vented everything already on Twitter about how I feel - even had to block a promoter over my opinions - but I guess all I'm saying is that the original idea behind S.C.E.N.E was to showcase <em><strong>local</strong></em> talent. Over the years the Founders stepped aside and economics took over (in an "<em>organic</em> way" - uh huh). </p>
<p>You all know I love music regardless - so don't get your panties in a bunch if you're in a band that I was railing against - my whole point is <em>go</em> - go to my home city of St. Catharines and play, play all you want - play until you can't play anymore! But don't play at a festival that is supposed to be for local talent only if you're not from St. Catharines. </p>
<p>Clearly S.C.E.N.E is not focusing on local talent only anymore - and I don't want to get into the details of this and that or how I know what I know, and maybe I am just sentimental and outdated and maybe my ideas are nostalgic and obsolete - and maybe I am even simply whining to hear myself whine - it's just that I know - I mean I <em>really know</em> <em>so many </em>talented musicians in Niagara that would love to play a local festival dedicated to local music.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe S.C.E.N.E isn't that anymore - and that's why I admit that I may be wrong - but I do know that this is what the original idea behind it was - not only that - but it was a win-win for all the local bars and pubs that would host bands, as their revenue and exposure would go up during the festival, not like these days where the "Main Event Stage" will be contained inside Montabello Park - but hey, what the hell do I know about the restaurant industry or my hometown of St. Catharines - clearly nothing. You're right, I'm wrong. </p>
<p><strong>S</strong>t.<strong>C</strong>atharines <strong>E</strong>vent for <strong>N</strong>ew Music<strong> E</strong>ntertainment - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCENE_Music_Festival" target="_blank">SCENE</a></p>
<p>I'm not going to name names - you all know very well which headliners aren't <em><strong>New Music</strong></em>, and aren't even from Ontario, let alone St.Catharines. </p>
<p>And me and my friends bands have played S.C.E.N.E before, so don't think I'm just jealous or envious.</p>
<p>No, I'm just opinionated. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm going to take matters into my own hands and start a music festival called, "<strong>Mu</strong>sicians <strong>U</strong>nited in <strong>S</strong>ound <strong>I</strong>n st.<strong>C</strong>atharines" - M.U.S.I.C - and only have bands from South Korea, Japan, India and Mexico play - no one else. It will be a big hit, and I'll let everyone know how it's boosting the local economy and supporting local artists simply because it's <em>in</em> St. Catharines. </p>
<p>Anyway - I'm boycotting S.C.E.N.E from now on, you do whatever you want.</p>
<p>Maybe someone should just change the name of the "festival" from S.C.E.N.E to "<em><strong>Bands From Earth</strong></em>". </p>
<p>That has a nice ring to it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Alright well - that's the update.</p>
<p>I'm still Vegan, still completely sober - even gave blood and urine to prove it, and still working like a crazy person. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hug someone! </p>
<p>- Adam</p>

Dave Grohl's Sound City Documentary
<p> </p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">So I watched the Sound City Documentary finally. It was good to see a documentary about music that I could relate to, and I'm happy to have seen it. Go watch it yourself if you haven't yet.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">As far as music goes - I recorded all my personal music in digital. I've been in bands that have recorded at studios that used similar analog boards, I've even recorded a few drum tracks for people to tape - but most of my personal music has been all digital, although I've never used or paid for ProTools, and I've never auto-tuned anything. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">I feel like a subtle undertone in the movie is that "musicians" who don't spend the money to record in an anolog studio to tape have no business calling themselves "musicians" - because they aren't that good if they have to edit mistakes or add endless layers of effects. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">Maybe that's just a vibe I picked up, but I think I'm actually paraphrasing a line right from the movie. Either way...</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">I'll be the first to say that I'm not a good musician. I don't think I've ever recorded my own music to tape in a big name or even a small name studio. When I was younger I would use the tape deck from the A/V room at school. I have an old shoebox full of my own original mixtapes that I used to spend hours and hours working on. You wouldn't want to hear them - they're awful!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">When I discovered that computer technology could eliminate the hassle and cost of going to a studio and dealing with anyone else I was thrilled. I don't have an illustrious "music career" behind me, I never sold out Wembley, and I don't think I ever will - but I have what I have and I am glad to have been able to record my own music at my own leisure over the years. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">I wrote the song "Cobra With Broken Fangs" when I was 16 and still living with my mom. I recorded it the best I could, with my best friend Brad McCaffery playing the rhythm guitar and me playing the lead while singing. </div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">If you went back in time and told 16 year old me that in 15 years I would be able to record every single part of the song, including the drums - AND videotape the whole thing MYSELF, then share it with THE WORLD... FOR FREE - I wouldn't have believed you. </div>

I've never met Dave Grohl or Corey Taylor or Trent Reznor - and I probably never will. </div>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">For the rest of us musicians - we will use pots and pans or wires and computer knobs - whatever it takes to make the music we hear in our hearts. </div>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px;">And if we can save a little money in the meanwhile, then great. </div>
<p>So I watched the Sound City Documentary finally. It was good to see a documentary about music that I could relate to, and I'm happy to have seen it. Go watch it yourself if you haven't yet.</p>
<p><br>As far as music goes - I recorded most all my personal music in digital. I've been in bands that have recorded at studios that used similar analog boards, I've even recorded a few drum tracks for people to tape - but most of my personal music has been all digital, although I've never used or paid for ProTools, and I've never auto-tuned anything of my <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/music.html" target="_blank">own</a>.</p>
<p><br>I feel like a subtle undertone in the movie is that "musicians" who don't spend the money to record in an anolog studio to tape have no business calling themselves "musicians" - because they aren't that good if they have to edit mistakes or add endless layers of effects. </p>
<p><br>Maybe that's just a vibe I picked up, but I think I'm actually paraphrasing a line right from the movie. Either way...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll be the first to say that I'm not a good musician. I don't think I've ever recorded my own music to tape in a big name or even a small name studio. I have recorded to 4 and 8 track during my early band days - a time consuming and questionably rewarding task. When I was even younger I would use the tape deck from the A/V room at school. I have an old shoebox full of my own original mixtapes that I used to spend hours and hours working on. You wouldn't want to hear them - they're awful!</p>
<p><br>When I discovered that computer technology could eliminate the hassle and cost of going to a studio and dealing with anyone else I was thrilled. I don't have an illustrious "music career" behind me, I've never sold out Wembley, and I don't think I ever will - but I have what I have and I am glad to have been able to record my own music at my own leisure over the years. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><br>I wrote the song "Cobra With Broken Fangs" when I was 16 and still living with my mom. I heard all the parts as clear as a bell in my head. At the time I had no way or means to record what I was hearing in my head by myself, so I recorded it the best I could, with my best friend Brad McCaffery playing the rhythm guitar and me playing the lead while singing.</p>
<p>We were kids, it was bad - but there it was, an original two-track song recorded on tape - that no one else but us was able to listen to.</p>
<p><br>Now if you went back in time and told 16-year-old-me that in 15 years I would be able to record every single part of the song - including the drums - AND videotape the whole thing MYSELF, then share it with THE WORLD... FOR FREE - I wouldn't have believed you. </p>

</p>
<p><br>For this reason alone, I have to respectfully say that although I appreciate the sentiment behind caring about the history of the Neve Board and the icons that paid to use it, that wasn't my life - and outside of listening to some of the music recorded on it, I don't even know the musicians who did the recording. I've never met Dave Grohl, Butch Vig, Corey Taylor or Trent Reznor - and I probably never will. </p>
<p>So, good for them, I'm glad they're happy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the rest of us musicians - we will use pots and pans or wires and computer buttons - whatever it takes to make the music we hear in our hearts. </p>
<p>And if we can save a little money in the meantime, great. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This documentary will sure be good for business now that everyone will know where the legendary Neve Board has been moved to - but Studio 606 probably doesn't charge for studio time since it's all about the music bro. </p>

I Know You're Out There
<p> </p>
<p>My sister suggested that instead of getting frustrated with creating an online dating profile, I post a list of what I am looking for in a woman here to my website. </p>
<p>I guess it's just something I've never thought of doing - it was one of those, "Oh... right, that's actually a good idea sis'!" moments. </p>
<p>I guess older <a href="http://ats.adamjosh.com/bio.html" target="_blank">sisters</a> really do know best! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>To be Frank, if you're <em><strong>The One</strong></em> - you're going to meet Ang anyway, and there's a 98% chance she will see through you as clear as a window - so we might as well just get that out of the way now. </p>
<p>Without further ado, here's what I'm looking for in a woman. I know I will sound crazy, and I honestly stopped caring a while ago about that. </p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>You're a Vegan - at <em>least</em> a Vegetarian.</li>
<li>You're a Pisces. </li>
<li>You aren't sitting around doing nothing with your life.</li>
<li>You like art and music.</li>
<li>You have family values. </li>
<li>You're ready to handle an OCD workaholic <a href="http://www.adamjosh.com/images/Astral_Projection_1981.jpg" target="_blank">Scorpio</a> who also plays music.</li>
<li>You sing and would love to sing songs with your man (<em>that's me</em>).</li>
<li>You would like to have kid(s) - no rush on that one because we both know it has to be right first!</li>
<li>Marriage? Let's see if we even like each other first though okay?</li>
<li>You have a healthy distrust of your government. </li>
<li>You like to travel - we're going to be doing that a lot of that. </li>
<li>You wouldn't mind helping out here and there when needed at a <a href="http://www.anythingincorporated.com" target="_blank">business</a> or two. </li>
<li>You love kids. </li>
<li>You don't want pets, unless they're outside and properly taken care of. </li>
<li>You don't smoke, you're not a drug addict (no pot-heads, pill-poppers or meth addicts need apply), and aren't a heavy drinker. </li>
<li>You don't celebrate Western Holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween or New Years. </li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Does this sound like you (<strong><em>cue laughter</em></strong>)??? </p>
<p>Send an e-mail to adam@adamjosh.com - or if you're a little more daring - shoot me a text at 1 919-651-7362 or join the conversation on Twitter.</p>
<p>If this sounds more like that crazy and single friend of yours then please do us both a favour and send this link to her - http://www.adamjosh.com/blog.html/i_know_youre_out_there/</p>
<p>...and say hello to your mother for me. </p>

♪ Lost Recording From Mars Colony 1 ♪
<p> </p>
<p>Felt like recording this old one. </p>
<p>Sorry about the rant at the intro - I can't help myself sometimes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been rightly said that every artist will have to deal with the struggle between art and economics, and truth be told - this debate will rage on into your childrens and grandchildrens generation, so I don't think my opinion will change much of anything - but as you may be able to tell by now - I live my opinions.</p>
<p>I look at everything as its own thing as well as the things it may be interconnected to. We don't live in a vacuum - we are all connected in some way, shape or form (most of you reading this will be on Planet Earth, breathing air right now - so am I!), but when it comes to art - I've always just felt so strongly about it and its purity that I've avoided contaminating it with a monetary value. I know instruments cost money, I know hired guns don't play for free. Spare me the lecture. </p>
<p>I'd be hard-pressed to put a price on the value of a true artist or his or her art. But you can feel free to have your own opinion. We all have to eat. Prostitutes have to eat too - and "go to college" - so what do we do? We use what we have to get what we want.</p>
<p>A song as old as time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a related topic, I wrote this song before I heard that its premise is a real thing, yeah baby they're sending humans to <a href="https://www.mars-one.com/" target="_blank">colonize Mars</a>! Sign me up and get me the hell away from all these assholes! </p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Keep that in mind next time some "artist" tells you that you have to wait for their next single or album to "drop" for months and months. It's a joke guys, they just want maximum dollar - not expression of art. </p>
