The Rebirth of Outland /
I don't remember the exact time and day it happened but it was a day I do regret to some extent . This was about 3 weeks ago when I deleted 5 full months of entries made here in Outland by deleting Outland completely. Several month's records of my life just disappeared into the abyss with the click of a mouse.
Outland now returns and I hope the regular readers of this page will also return. It is time to forget the past almost completely, but not completely. This is not possible as my mind works.
It's really good to be back here ! I will never again place business and money ahead of life itself. My reason for deleting Outland was to make this website more formal and related more to business image.That was wrong ! Why do I, a guitarist, need business at all ???? Maybe one day soon this will finally sink in.
***********
The past 2 weeks have been strange . I drove fifty miles to town to get my virus crashed computer cleaned up, only to pick it up a week later, bring it home and find it still completely non functional . After hooking everything back up and plugging it into power; the same problem !!! When I tryed to log in as the user by clicking on user Zenfar ..... Nothing.
I called the shop and they said to unplug everything and reboot which I did . Nothing ! To make a long story short ; this afternoon when I woke up having been offline now for 12 days; I changed the mouse. Everything worked and still works just fine after that one simple action.
The funny thing about being offline is that it helped me to regroup. After the first couple days I began to enjoy being offline completely. And today the only thing I have enjoyed about being online was writing on this newly born Outland page. Otherwise, I would have had a much better day by staying offline rather than once again getting tangled up on the web. If this wasn't a daily record that I can read several months later for better understanding of myself... this typing here would also be futile.
The main thing I will use this computer for in the future will be to record music using my Lexicon Omega software. After a few hours sleep I will plug in and record . If you want to read about the recording studio experience, my equipment and musical background; visit the world of music page on this site.
My home is 5 miles back in the woods so the conditions for playing music are not less than perfect . Half of my solo electric guitar CD is now completed with 30 minutes of music.
This is a good place to stop .

The Estate Grounds
I don't want to mislead the readers into thinking this is the grand english estate like that in the movie "Tarzen -The Legend of Greystoke". The grounds on this 15 acres are level but at 4500 foot elevation. The area around the property is sparsely populated . Our closest neighbor is one half mile away. The very small town of Sprague River is 5 miles away. The town has one store, one gas station, one community center, one small library, one restarant, one fiire station and a post office. That's about it.
The front 5 acres of our property is landscaped with green lawn, a wrought iron entry gate. The property thickly wooded with huge tall pine trees. The front five acres are also fenced to keep the two dogs, Daisy and Zorro inside and out of trouble. Daisy is a very old long haired cream colored dog weighing close to 100 pounds. Zorro is 4 years old, half pit bull and something else. He is now laying on the carpet of my living room sound asleep about 6 feet from the woodstove. He is about 4 inches taller than Daisy and about 20 pounds heavier . His temperment is mellow but he is also a real leathal weapon when threatened.
The back 10 acres of the property are fenced with barbed wire, unlike the front 5 acres which has fencing a dog cannot get thru . There are three homes on the front five acres and one structure, a barn , on the back ten acres. The barn is our woodshop .
I maintain the grounds of the front 5 acres which means doing all the watering , raking, weeding and mowing. I also have a tree growing area directly outside my front door . In this area there are 200 six foot tall elm trees in 5 gallon pots and 200 Colorado Blue spruce trees in five gallon and one gallon pots. There are about 250 more elm trees in one gallon pots and 100 more elm in 4 inch pots. Let's not leave out the Siberian pea shrubs of which there are about 4 hundred in one gallon and 5 gallon pots. This growing area is quite a view from my front porch or when sitting in my easy chair in the living room and looking out the picture window.... lush and green ! I sell the trees and shrubs from June thru October.
As far as the residents here, there is me (divorced) the bachelor and the two dogs. My brother and his wife live in the home closest to the one lane dirt road in front of the property (about 150 feet off the road) . He is a preacher who started his church about 15 years ago. He and his wife seem to enjoy it but I am not much of a church goer . For peace of mind I sit each day in meditation (Zen) which works just fine for me.
My mother also lives here . Her home is about 350 yards from mine and borders our 10 acre back pasture area. The entry gate to our pasture and barn is about 50 feet from her back screened in porch.
Beyond our back pasture is quite a view. This is all ranch property that borders our back pasture on three sides. There is a mountain or tall tree covered hillside just beyond beyond the ranch pasture. From our back fence line to the mountan; the distance is about one-half mile. This is where the moon rises during certain seasons when in cycle. On a clear breezeless evening when the moon is full and rising over the mountain the view is stunning.
My home sits about 250 feet off the front dirt road on the front part of our property . In the winter there are almost no cars or trucks going by. It is paradise.
In the spring , summer and fall the road is more traveled but almost never do more than 4 or 5 vehicles pass in a day.
Last fall when Outland was first brought to life here; I documented the daily firewood cutting and splitting operation . My brother and his wife cut the wood and then brought it home for me to split . They cut over 20 chords and I split and stacked it. We sold about 8 chords and the rest went into our woodsheds.
From late September to early November I spent at least an hour each day splitting wood. I enjoyed it but was glad when it was all said and done !! It is much more pleasant working in my tree area... watering, planting and pruning. One reason I enjoy this so much is that I have a 250 watt stereo system upstairs in my house. I open the sliding glass door upstairs and have two fisher speakers facing my work area. The music is nice; sometimes mellow and sometimes rock, depending on my mood .
I was recording some very good songs off direct TV to listen to while working outdoors until they changed to SONIC which is REALLY inferior to what they had before. Going to change to Dish network for much better quality music !!

GOD , GOVERNMENT & GASOLINE
I do not completely condemn religion because every fool needs to be taught the basic differences of right and wrong . On the other hand ; in each country in the world there are different religions in which everyone's god is different from the gods in the other religions.
If there were really a true god that had the ultimate power, he would make everyone's life who lives on the earth pleasant. Why would the one true and powerful god not do this ???
It is the same with world governments ! They try to convince the people that everything is going to be just fine and that everything is going to get better . The great con !!! The wealthy are the ones in government . Their job is to pacify the poor and the middle class so that they can continue to get their extravagant salaries. Even more true is that they can pacify the people so that those who actually donated the money, to put them in office, can continue their SUPER extravagant lifestyles !!
I could be wrong but I doubt it . If you aren't a fool you already knew this without my mentioning it here.
Now all this is catching up to those who are in control of the money and the people of the world. The grip is loosening fast . The people who live in places in the world where there are dirt streets, no electricity, no adequate drinking water ... not knowing where the next meal is going to come from are revolting in mass.
People have reached the limit and chaos is taking over in those regions of the would. I don't blame them a bit.
No ! I don't complain about my lifestyle here in america. I have food, clothing and shelter . Life for me is not extravagant but much more comfortable than the way many outside the USA and Europe live.
Originally goverments were formed to protect citizens from evil forces that wanted to kill them. Now the governments have added laws to dictate how people must live their lives almost as robots. And there are fees of tribute we must all pay to the thieves in government. Property taxes, pet licenses, business licenses, vehicle licenses, vehicle registration fees, auto insurance, building permits,state taxes and federal taxes. The list goes on and on and on.
YET OUR GOVERNMENT IS BROKE !!! They have fallen on their face...even with all this tribute being paid to them. Why ? Because they are fools!!!!! What's almost as bad is the the fact that we elect these fools and just seem to sit back and tolerate all this bullshit.
People tell me I should continue to vote . Oh ! Okay ! I will vote for the lesser fool, than the main fool, who had most of the money to become the chief fool. You know, like the indian chief, only this tribe is much larger. We have already stolen the land from those chiefs years ago.
The problem with governments is that they really LOVE their money and useless PROGRAMS and refuse to cut back almost anything. They are like a bad gambler . He keeps losing and steals the money to continue his losing addiction. Who is he or they stealing from ?????
Give me a break ! I mean; we have In God We Trust on our currency and pay per view pornography on our TV access. Wow!
What a sham !! Not surprising at all . I'm not a religous fanatic but give me a break and do not insult my intelligence Mr. politician man !!!!!!
If the gods aren't going to save us and the government does not have any wisdom what so ever... then it is every man for himself in this BRAVE NEW WORLD . And the sooner this comes to life inside your head the better off you will be. I hope I am not insulting your intelligence. I know that everyone in the world is not so stupid that they are perfectly content with the garbage on cable, satellite or the plain old boob tube. Netwok TV - YUK !
If you protest ; they will gas you, they will shoot you, they will kill you or beat you. Our prisons are all full to the max !
Enjoy your week next week . I hope you will eat and don't have to pay toll road fees to get to work.
Will gas prices continue to rise ? Will it force us to take the bus or get off our lazy asses and ride a bike to work ?
Will we see cars packed so full with car poolers that there is barely room to breathe???
OH MY GOD ????
I don't get shook up about this stuff . This is only one more entry in Outland . The god and government part of this entry were going on long before I was on this planet.
Sit down for about 30 minutes once a month and write a letter to that grand WHITE HOUSE in Washington . It would do no harm. Speak what's on your mind and give them a real jolt !!
Good Day Friends !
Wherever you may be on planet earth ???

Dictatorships & Democracy
I'm not going to discuss socialism in this section because I don't want to write here all evening . Brief discussions on democracy and dictatorships will bring the point across.
DICTATORSHIP IN A NUTSHELL
In my opinion there are three types of dictatorships.
The first type would be in a country where one controlling group slaughtered another to take complete charge. In this type of dictatorship people are shot where they stand if they blink wrong.
The second type of dictatorship is one in which the people are not shot in public but taken to a quiet more private place to be shot. Ha!
The third type of dictatorship is one in which very few are shot and the leader really does make his best considerations for his people. Here most of the people may not be completely content but they do have some trust in their leader... the dictator.
DEMOCRACY
The gas station mechanic comes home from work, starts cussing and slams himself into his tv chair . His wife smiles at him and asks whats wrong.
He tells her that he went to the store today to buy a six ounce bag of rolling tobacco and the price had gone up from $9.00 to $32.00 . His wife then tells him that she saw president Obama signing some kind of document on the news one afternoon last week.
Now they stare at each other and the reality sets in. HE WAS SIGNING A TAX BILL.
OH MY GOD !!! THAT ________ !!!!!!
In democracy the people elect an official after watching them speak on a television commercial or short debate and then march down to the pole to cast their vote. On election day, people are also allowed to vote on certain propositions which is more of a pacification process than anything else.
After these election days are over, the elected politicians can do just about anything they please !! That's a hell of a lot of trust we put in these people. They can place higher taxes on everything if they want to. The example of tobacco was used above.They can start full blown wars or they can put police actions into affect in different countries in which our troops are sent overseas to be killed. They can even re-implement a draft so that people have no choice but to go away from their homes to be killed.
It is these elected politicians that can do anything they please providing that they vote on it themselves after elected and a law or bill is passed in the trenches of deception.
The citizens have very little real control except to place some irresponsible idiot in office to make all their decisions for them. This is what democracy all boils down to . The water in the pot boils away and the pot is left burning on the stove.
If the citizens were to rebel and really rise up in anger against any government ... these same elected officials would kill us or place us in detention camps and be no different from Aloph the Hitler. Think about that one.
Well ! I enjoyed writing for an hour here . Now it is time to do somethig else. I'm going to take some cheese down to mom and then walk back here to my house and have the evening slop.
Even though the political scene of democracy stinks; at least I don't have to have a bowl of rice for dinner or even worse, nothing at all !
One thing for certain is that if I am lucky, I can find one program on TV to watch with dinner. It won't be the evening news.

Alien Spacecraft / Starships / Part One
The main reason I regretted deleting this Outland page, as mentioned in the first entry is because I had documented the entire wood cutting season from late September until the first week in December of 2010 in which we cut 20 chords of wood . My brother and his wife brought it in from the state forest . I split it all and stacked it in each woodshed of the three homes here on the estate.
The weather here during the months of September, October and early November is perfect for walking around the grounds here after dark. Especially on evenings when there is no moon and the stars are clearly visible. On moonless clear nights there are stars beyond stars. The view is incredible.
The best viewing area is at the gate that leads to our back pasture which is about three hundred yards from my house. The gate is located in the back yard area of mom's house. There are only a few scattered tall pine trees in our ten acre pasture area there. Beyond our ten acre pasture is another pasture of about 600 acres with a tall tree covered hill which borders most of it as it's far boundary. I can stand at the gate and have a clear view of the eastern and southern sky. If I walk through the gate to our barn and stand behind the barn there is clear view in every direction except west.
One other area here on the grounds for viewing the night sky is directly out my back door. This is where our main lawn area on the property is located. This area has about two acres of lawn . There are a few very tall pine trees in the lawn area but if I move around on the lawn area and position myself just right ; I can view the lowest stars in the sky.
In past years : I would just walk outside for 5 minutes at night and then walk right back into my house. Don't ask me why, but last fall I began walking around the entire grounds at night, staying outdoors for thirty minutes to and hour, several different times each evening. My dog Zorro is always right there with me. He loves walking around day or night !
There are two types of alien spacecraft that I see . To the right of our pasture gate by mom's house , I see solid red balls dancing in the sky playing chase. These are not nightly occurances but seem to occur about every two or three weeks. These are always much lower than any of the stars. To that southern direction is the only area these have been sighted and at a distance of about one and one half miles away and two thousand foot altitude. Interesting and fun to watch.
The 2nd type of craft are much more interesting . These at first appeared to be stars and look like stars. The only thing is that they move in a jerky motion which makes it obvious that they are not stars at all. No! It is not atmospheric conditions and some are much larger than others. Some are space craft and some are the larger starships.
Last fall it took me about a month for it to sink in as to just how many of these craft were in the immediate area around this property.
Yes! I do keep my back door locked at night !!
In the next segments to follow; I have some very interesting accounts of seeing these craft that look like stars. I saw one or more of these almost every evening last fall . Mom has seen them and my sister in law has seen them. My brother who is the pastor of his church refuses to even look at them when I offer to show him one.
Last December when he and his wife Gale returned home one night from a two week tour of Isreal, there was a huge HUGE starship up in the sky above mom's house that I had been watching from my front porch for at least 15 minutes. It was really obvious that this was no star, no airplane and no satellite.
So! They pulled up and carried their bags into their house . Gale, his wife, stayed inside and he came back out to the car to get the last bag. When he reached his porch to go back inside; I shouted to him and pointed to the moving... bobbing and weaving starship. He said he was not interested and walked inside. I had to laugh at that one as to how someone could have absolutely no interest whatsoever... when all he had to do was just look up. It was right there moving like a puppet on a string !
My mom sees them all the time right out the windows of the living room of her house. She is in the clearing area.
My brother's wife Gale has seen one . We saw it together ! I'll talk about the experience in part two.
This was really an interesting evening !!

Alien Spacecraft / Starships / Part 2
Last October on a moonless night at about nine in the evening; I walked out my back door to look at the night sky and saw nothing to really note. I then walked down to the gate by mom's house for viewing the sky in this much clearer visibilty area.
The sky was full of stars on this dark, clear and windless evening. For october the weather was unusally warm ... about 50 degrees
When I reached the pasture gate which is about 200 yards from my front door; I saw one moving star bobbing and weaving . The star was not cruising just bobbing and weaving like the dancing puppet. AHA ! I watched it for about ten minutes and then walked back home . On that evening there were several satellites that passed by, along with commercial jets and even smaller single engine planes . Lots of activity in the sky on this and most evenings here. The sky comes to life here after dark.
As I said ; I walked back to my house and then decided to walk next door and grab a tea bag at my brothers house. I thought that no one was there because my brother and his wife were in Sprague River for a communtiy center function and mom had went with them.
When I walked inside my brother's daughters 15 year old son Warren was sitting in one of the living room chairs watching a movie on television. He was visiting for the weekend . I thought he had gone with the gang. Surprised ; I told him that there was an alien spaceship down by mom's house and his eyes really lit up !! He thought I wa nuts but I had a serious look in my eyes and was not smiling.
We walked down to the gate and he saw his first siting . This was a fairly good siting and I see these on almost every clear night here. The craft was clearly below all the stars and fairly large. It was the type that look exactly like a star except for the fact that they are not.We stood and silently watched for about 15 minutes and then Warren and I walked to our individual residences. He- back to his movie and I don't remember what I had been doing before going out to the gate.
I heated a cup of coffee in the microwave after leaving Warren and read a good book for about an hour. Soon it was time to open my back door again and view the stars . When standing in the center of my lawn area I saw a moving bright light beyond our barn in the back pasture area. The barn is about a thousand yards from my back yard. Zorro and I walked in that direction and entered into the pasture from the gate by mom's house which is the only entry without climbing the 5 foot tall fence.
Zorro and I walked to the back side of the barn and there it was criusing at about 100 feet off the ground . The object was about the size of a helicoper and cruising, not just bobbing and weaving like the puppet, at very slow speed against the treeline on the hillside. The speed was very slow !
When standing behind the barn there is a distance of about 2000 yards to the far border of the ranch pasture that is borded by a large and thickly wooded hillside with gradual slope . The height of the hill with gradual slope is about 800 feet tall . The object was cruising along the lower tree line of the hill at roughly 100 feet off the ground .
This was an incredible thing to see. The night was completel dark. There was no breeze at all . It was so quiet; I could hear Zorro moving about in the nearby sagebrush. The object made no noise whatsoever. It just coasted in the night sky . There were strands of white lights on top of it which formed a triangle shape. The white light from the object was very brilliant and similar to the light you might see if you were in a room that had a blacklight. I lit a smoke and watched in amazement. My slight considerations as to whether I was just seeing things on previous evenings now ceased. It was now completely clear to me that I had not been imagining anything seen in the sky before this evening.
I watched the object for at least 15 minutes and soon began to get cold due to the fact that I was only wearing a long sleeve shirt on my upper body... I walked toward my house again.
When I returned my brother Ron and his wife Gale had returned from their nightly outing. I put on my coat at my house and then walked into their house which is 70 feet nearer our front one lane dirt road than my house. Ron was sitting in his chair in the living room , gale was standing beside him and Warren had gone to bed . I looked down at Ron and said " You've got to see this thing out at the barn" He said nothing. Gale looked at me and said "Rons sick . . . "I'll go".
I should say here, that whenever I had talked about UFO's around Gale (a preacher's wife) before this particular evening; she had only made a joke of it like I was some kind of idiot. This particular evening would now put her joking and foolishness to rest forever !
She put on a coat and grabbed a little pen type flashlight after I told her that my rechargeable high beam light was out of juice. We slowly made our way to the barn on our private gravel road that goes from our front gate, throught the pasture gate and stops at the front side of the barn . We walked slowly because of the fact that the penlight was almost worthless. She asked me a couple of times what I was going to show her. I only said "you'll see."
As soon as we walked completely to the back side of the barn, the object was still cruising at the same 100 foot altitude as before when Zorro and I were there. This wierd thing was lit up like nothing from this world . THIS REALLY BLEW HER MIND. She quickly asked me "WHAT IS THAT THING"
I did not want a conversation at that time and simply said that I did not know.
For 30 minutes we both stood there in almost complete silence watching what most people have never ever seen. The object just cruised slowly and even stopped completely and silently, 100 feet off the ground. The only thing I know for sure is that they are not from this planet. What's inside the objects? That I do not know YET .
I couple days later I asked Gale what she thought about that thing we had seen.
Her statement was this: THEY ARE NOT LIKE US !
MY REPLY : I know they're not.
FOOTNOTES ****
Section 3 about the craft will be delivered in a couple of days . Almost all of February and March has been cloudy skys and windy here. One rough weather front after another has been arriving.
These things in the sky are more like neighbors now to me ! They don't seem to be aggressive.
However ! I don't intend to get too close. Just like I don't get too close to a chained dog .
Thursday / 11:30 PM / The Last Day of March
Alien Spacecraft / Part 3
When writing the previous section ; I thought this would be the last regarding the visitors... but after this evenings occurances, I doubt it. I'm not looking forward, at least at this moment, to what could follow in the next few months . I really don't want to meet an alien face to face !
Today was a great day ! The weather broke on Wednesday with temperatures probably reaching the mid 50's with sunshine. I have been raking the potted tree area in front of my house where my Norway spruce,White spruce , Elm trees and Siberian pea shrubs are located ; nestled in among the 75 foot tall pine trees.
I grabbed a rake and wheelbarrow about 11Am this morning and quit at about 3:45. Gale left for the big city (Klamath Falls) early at about 9AM. Mom drove out of here at about ten AM and then my brother left about noon. Everyone was gone except me, Zorro and Daisy. I opened the slider upstairs and put a tape in the cassette that I had not heard since last September...one of my favorites.
I have not been working hard for the last 2 days but have got a lot done. It's always pleasant with good music to listen to at the same time. I take a lot of coffee breaks but only short ones.
My brother came back from town almost the exact time I was quitting (3:45) . He had twenty bags of shit for the garden in his small truck and handed me a McDonalds bag with 2 double cheese burgers in it. I watched Gunsmoke and ate the burgers wishing there was a third. HA! Had not had any junk food since the fall. My diet is chicken ,fish and an occasional beef burrito .
After Gunsmoke I took a shower . At nine PM I took my Yamaha acoustic out of the case and played for a couple hours, then restocked the woodstove and had a smoke. My brother Ron and I are now playing acoustics in his studio at his house on Mondays. This started last Monday. The session lasted about 4 hours and went well with the brand new strings on my yamaha . He played his yamaha thru a 65watt Roland amp . I had headphones on and enjoy playing and singing dylan's song -Heavens Door and a Johnny Cash song -Folsom Prison Blues.
This was only about the 4th time that we have been in his studio with the intention of actually recording. I did all the vocals and really appreciated the reverb settings for the mic. Looking forward to next Monday . Also looking forward to recording with my electric guitar in my studio between sessions over at his house.
Tonight at eleven PM; I put on my coat and walked out my back door to the large lawn area with tall pines . At one time, as I faced the road to my left that is beyond our front fence; there were two alien craft I could view at the same time. One was a larger craft and the other a smaller craft. After that I walked down to mom's gate. It was open due to my brothers grading that road to the barn yesterday... so I walked a few steps further into the pasture area and stood in silence. Not much happening down there at that time. I walked back home to my house, rolled a smoke and headed out my back door again .
To my right I saw a dim light at about an eleven o'clock position . So ! Curiously I moved in that direction with Zorro. Always good to have him there when these things are seen . When I reached the fence that divides the front 5 acres from our back ten , I could see a craft as descibed in the previous section. It was well lit with those white Chrismas tree strands of light and glowing white. The craft hovered above the mountain that is about one half mile beyond our barn. This was definitely interesting to watch the craft doing a puppet dance about 200 feet above the mountain.
Well ! It was getting cold now and I returned to my back door. As I stood at my porch there, before going inside, I saw a really low light though the thick tree branches. I watched it ! Here I went again... back to the same area as before toward the pasture fence.
This was a craft on the ground I am certain, but I was getting cold now, or at least not real comfortable, so I walked back to the house. I had a bad feeling about this one and I always trust my instincts. I could have got within 500 yards of it IF I would have walked down beyond the barn .
Last fall in late November when walking to mom's gate.....
I'll talk about what happened last November in the next section . To tired now to describe the setting properly right now.
Air temperature 40 degrees and I'm too tired to do much more walking around. I'm going to just take one last look before doing some meditation and going to sleep.

Alien Spacecraft / Part 4 /
Black sky here this morning ! No rain yet except for a late afternoon very light drizzle. Current air temperature 41 degrees.
My intention when writing these sections in Outland is not to have one section after another about the strange visitors. I will include this section 4 now because I never thought my newest neighbors would be so different .
*****
Last November as I stood outside in back of my house one night ; I saw an unusually low light just past our barn which is about 400 yards from my back door.
Out of curiosity ; I headed toward the pasture gate at moms house with the intention of walking to the barn to view the light.
As I reached mom's house and took one step beyond it towards the gate... the light was not in the direction of the barn any longer. It was to my right at a 2 o'clock position .
The object was about 600 yards from me. This was no ordinary light and I was amazed . The craft was on the ground and lit up with white lights as if they were strung on a 20 foot tall christmas tree. I stood and stared at the object.
I should explain here that this night was extremely quiet . There was no breeze at all. I could hear my dog zorro rustling in the sagebrush 75 feet to my left as I viewed the object to my right.
The next thing that happed was about 20 coyotes to my left ,at about a 10 o'clock position and distance of about 200 yards all went off in unison with crazy howling and wimpering barks . It was almost like they were worshipping the landed craft. I was enjoying the pack going insane while trying to stay calm myself.
I was standing perfectly still just beyond the left front corner of mom's house.
After about 10 minutes of this wining and yapping barking from the coyotes they stopped . Now, in silence again I turned on my flashlight and moved about 20 feet closer to the obect , stopped and lit a smoke.
As soon as I shut off the light and lit the smoke from my new closer position; the object started moving towards me . I immediately backed up 30 feet to the gravel road that leads to our barn and was prepared to make a dash to my house when the object got within 300 yards of me.
Just before I was ready to retreat; it stopped coming closer and started moving away very slowly towards it original position in the rachers pasture. When it reached that position; all the lights on the object went out. I could no longer tell where it was and I'll be damed if I was going to climb the fence 70 feet to my right and look for it in the pasture.
These things ; whatever they are , know very well who lives on this property . At first I had a sense that things were nearby that did not belong. Now I do not sense but know they are here all the time.
I have to wonder how I would react if one evening one of them walked up to me??? This is not likely if Zorro is nearby. Yet Zorro is not like other dogs I have had in the past. The other dogs would stay at my side come hell or high water. Zorro's habit is that unless I am way down at the barn with him; he often returns to my front porch while I am still out and about wandering and watching and listening.
So! I guess it is possible that I could be greeted by an alien being ( not in their craft ) while least expecting it... if Zorro was not nearby to warn me. That's not such a pleasant thought ! If this does happen; I know there will be an adrenalin rush, but I think other than that, I will not panic .
This should be an interesting summer . I hope not too interesting !! Most of the time Zorro goes to my house before I do. Humm !

Noise / Nonsense / Questions / Opinions /
I see from my last entry date above... that 9 days have came and went . Clear night skys seem to be rare ! During most of last month maybe one or two nights per week were clear. This month has been almost constant cloud cover with much cooler weather than in previous years. There may be global warming but not here . HA!
We have a guest on the grounds who is the son of someone my brother knows from somewhere in his past. Wow! Thats kind of strange. Wonder how many days he will stay ??? It does make the whole scene here bizarre when an uninvited guest shows up !
Maybe this is why the drunk drinks ?????
I just got up and let Zorro back inside and looked at the current temperature on the dish which is nineteen degrees. So much for global warming here. Back in January it was like springtime all month though . We had 50 degree daytime temps but the nights were in the teens or colder. In December it was -20 every night for a week until the cold shock finally broke.
Wednesday I raked 12 wheelbarrows of pine needles and dumped them in a burn pile in the pasture area. Today I split half of a new chord of firewood my brother brought in. Mom is low. We cut wood for her. I split and stacked the wood on her porch. Her brother in Indiana died last week. My favorite uncle !!! Damn ! Why does everyone have to get old and die and why do the elephants live so much longer than human beings ???? Just one of those things that cannot yet be corrected.
For me the winter is the most enjoyable time of year because I don't have to do anything at all !!! Right now I seem to be holding off the spring as best I can by shear will . That might sound strange but so far so good. No hot weather yet !!
One hundred degree temps in August here but afer about 9PM perfect. During mid July and all of August the hours between 11AM and 5PM are dead time. Only a fool would hang around outdoors during those hours..... If there were some politicians here, they would be hanging around outdoors during those hours ! HA!
The plan that is in the air now by those politicians is to reduce the budget by close to 4 trillion within ten years. This is the exact reason I see the politicians as idiots trying to find their way out of the maze of gridlock. This is like the baseball player who fell on his butt between third base and home plate and was tagged out. To short of the mark buddy ! Well batter, you're out . Kicked off the team would be well advised. Ten years wait is insane and 4 trillion is well short of what is needed. I'm not surprised by these never do anything right occurances.
In my youth I only thought it was the scarecrow who had no brain. When he admitted this to Dorothy on the way to OZ at least he was honest. Brainless but honest . He had no secrets ! No pretense !
I'll tell you one thing ! If I had the power ; I would shut down every nuclear power plant in the USA NOW ! We can't control the quakes . So fasten your seatbelts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better though, not to worry about the future or the past . I'm not afraid to die so I don't worry about it. Writing thoughts here in Outland and worrying are worlds apart .
The big sleep will happen eventually . I enjoy my sleep ! A could good long endless sleep will be nice when the time arrives.
Does the soul die too ? We shall see won't we . Will that third eye leave us .....
Now you have it.. is everything all clear ?
***
There are 24 hours in each day and I have just killed one and one half of those hours today at my computer keyboard .
I hope your journey deeper into life is not so rugged . Don't take it too seriously . There are no good or bad thoughts.
Just thoughts. That's all . Let them pass freely without taking one thought more seriously than any other.
You cannot stop the thought cycle . It repeats itself .... one thought and then another. From the time we wake up each new day until the time we sleep at the end of the day those thoughts never really go away. So I just let them pass without getting to serious about anything that comes to my.
Relax ! Nothing is so serious . Beginning to end . That's it . It will all be over before you know what happened . HA! Enjoy every moment and take nothing too seriously.

Online Poker / Hung by USA Justice Department
Many of us do things we should not do !
Some drink too much booze . Some take their daily dope .
About a week ago I tried to enter a nightly 25 cent poker tournament at 7pm in which first prize is close to 100 dollars. A message told me on Poker Stars that USA players were no longer allowed to play in money games.
THIS WAS A SHOCK !!! I could no longer wager a quarter ,dime or dollar to play in a weekly poker tournament online. This was my hobby to match my skill with other people who choose to compete.
There are millions in america who are also shocked and angry. The FBI , Department of Justice and some clod who wanted a bill passed did this .
Why was this done and who had the power to get it done? Who really benefited from such an assinine new law????
It is my understanding that this was thrown in with another bill that was considered important . To get the votes needed for passing the other bill this stop online poker gambling proposal was thrown in by some joker. WOW !!!!
Most online poker players are not wagering big money . Card play for most online was simply a hobby ! It was entertainment !!!
Let's get down to the nitty gritty !!!! Offline indian and corporate casinos are still open . PORN is still available on and offline.
Politicians have now invaded my privacy and millions of others privacy as to what you or I can do in our private lives at home, for personal entertainment.
It was this way in the 1940's when Nazi Germany existed . I thought we fought WWII to keep our freedoms.
BOY WAS I WRONG !!!
I know for certain that most americans are wise to the current situation of out-of-control goverment and TOO MANY LAWS ...... educated or not the majority understands .
You don't have to have a college degree to smell the stink in the air.
America is the war machine . We have bases in over 72 countries. We are war poor due to supporting a military complex .
One of the main products is the export of weapons for killing.
The people in this world no longer know what exactly it is that their governments are doing behind closed doors.
It is these governments everywhere who are the GREAT SATANS .
Vote if you choose, but don't be surprised at the new and stupid laws the newly elected officials throw in your face... from behind closed doors in which you have no say in the decisions made in those private quiet chambers.
For me personally ; I cannot and will not trust anyone so much ever again as to be a part of giving them such great and dangerous power.
When I was young and foolish; I trusted a dog on a chain only to have part of my little finger torn off.
This goes way beyond a law being passed in private that takes away one of my hobbies .
Take note now and wake up . Governments go into other countries and kill to aquire new lands and possessions for greater wealth. The people do not vote on that killing or such acts of insanity .
Governments only need to pass specific laws that allow them to enter your home and property to take everything you have including your very breath.
People only elect the officials in the so called free nations.
The people should understand that they have very little power whatsoever to stop destructive laws from being passed or to stop nations from being invaded. From private chambers do brutal and devastating laws come forth.
What fool is it that believes that casting a vote for the candidate who is the lesser of two evils is really doing his or her part to make everything better.
None of us seem to grasp what his or her part is in all this nonsense, because we are still victums of the same nasty oppressive new laws being thrown at us daily year after year.
Nothing surprises me anymore. I ask myself what I am to do when the entire world is in chaos.
When the Japanese nuclear power plant went balistic becase of the quake, did the USA shut down any of our plants here? NO !
The same thing could happen here. What fool is it that does not correct this problem before it occurs ? There is a long list ! Too long as a matter of fact.
China cancelled all orders to have any nuclear power plants built as ordered before the Japan disaster. At least someone has some common sense.
Whatever happened to common sense anyway?
Do we have to have every single american citizen march to Washington to get things back in order ????
What would our politicians do when we all arrived by the millions and millions and told them we wanted them to turn in their resignations ?
That may be wishful thinking but at least I know that we need massive change; not just new faces after elections... or the same new fools as before if re-elected.
This is 2011 not 1776 . The time has come for a complete re-evaluation of our system in america. Man has evolved since the period of time 100 years ago.
All I wanted to do in this section was to point out the recent no poker actions of the Department of Injustice. Guess I got carried away. HA !
Time to let Zorro back inside . It has been raining and he looks like a huge drowned rat .
Thursday / May ?? / 2011 / 8:30 AM
A rabbit just ran by me, looking at his watch and shouting he was late for something or other . I see that I am late also, not having written anything here since Easter Sunday .
Well ! Here we go !
Sitting at this computer a few hours ago I was wondering what Rumple Stilskin's secret for spinning gold was. I was mailing some safelist adverts . In the subject heading of one mailing ; I used the heading.... Rumple Stilskins secrets for spinning gold .
What was his secret for spinning gold out of cloth??? And what did he do with the gold after he got it spun into a pile on the floor? Those are questions from either the mind of a lunatic or someone who has not slept for 20 hours.
The long spells of wakefullness are good because when I do hit the bed , I sleep like the newborn baby who has just got off the tit . HA!
Sending out to a few safelists today was enjoyable when using absurd subject titles . The adsurd titles may become a bad or good habit. May as well have some fun !!
Another title I used was - Free Ebook < How to beg with dignity >
Also there was this title " The Funky Junky Investment Club "
Another was " Lost for two days in the royal wedding cathedral "
That's a lot of fun thinking up bizarre email subject titles . When I can laugh I feel good .

It took about 3 months to get the first Empire Venture partner for the group that will build a financial empire from scratch... just like a chicken kicking thru the dirt.
The business plan for building a financial empire begins with simple step... bring in the first partners and give them an ID# . Now they have their official link to the venture.
That is simple, yet that is an important basic step before anything else can or should be done. To attempt to write a complete business plan for a start to finish building of a financial empire would be idiotic and could drive a person to madness.
So! My goal at this time is to get to know each partner after sending them their ID#.
The first partner other than myself has good computer skills as I see from viewing his website. In fact his skills for building websites are better than my own. This is good! That is excellent ! My position in this project is not as a computer tech person but to be an organizer and public relations person.
My job is to keep the partnership in a relaxed environment mode at all times, where all within the group trust the power we are now gathering . Slow growth is good . Very fast growth is more harmful . If growth can be maintained at a perfect comfortable pace... then all will go well.
I can do this and will maintain the correct pace for all growth and business activities, as we form our initial bond as partners in the beginning of the venture . This is the beginning.
New partners will come and we will all support each other as a success support group. There are good people who will find us. People who have to be pushed into joining the venture or have a hundred questions beforehand are probably to uneasy in life itself to be able to stay focused in a positive way... We will all be helping each other just as a good family helps one another.
Nobody has ever built a financil empire alone. That is one of many reasons for my starting this project that will be my life's work
until I die and rest in complete peace forever. That sounds good also .
However ! Balance must be maintained in my life so that balance will flow into the Empire Venture group as we move forward.
I get balance from several different things . (1) Meditation keeps my mind quiet and maintains peace in my soul. (2) Playing music is balance .(3) Wood spltting is balance . (4) Outdoor time on the grounds here is balance.
The scale of balance can easily tilt too much in one direction . So balance must and should be maintained.
The key to everything is not to worry about anything . Worry is as useless as dog shit .
I try not to force any activities. This means not doing something I am not motivated to do in the present moment .
Those are some of my thoughts for today here in this section.
Friday - August 12 / 2011 / 5AM
I see that the last entry here was made on May ?? . Two full months have passed (coputer breakdown). My computer would do nothing except restart over and over . I could not get to the desktop. Finally after waiting 4 weeks ; I took it to the shop and shelled out $95.00 for repair in which they had to strip everything off it as if it were brand new. Working fine now !
To continue ... It seems that in a previous section where I mentioned our US government being in gridlock and accomplishing almost nothing was recently proven correct by the results of what they did to resolve our US debt problem. Nothing ! Gridlock !! Reminds me of a woman I once knew who had a doctorate degree , yet barely enough common sense to boil water.
I do not see any point in making any furthur comments about the US _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ except Should Not, Would Not,
Could Not .
So anyway! I am waiting to get two disks to reinstall my Lexicon Omega multi track recording software that was stripped away during computer repair . I received one disk today but not the other that I must install first before installing the one I have. Will have to call them tomorrow and find out why both disks weren't sent in the same package. How Rediculous. I'm READY to get back to recording. My V-Amp processor is ready as is my chord hand and picking hand. New strings on the electric guitar . She waits also. So!
The equipment is ready and the quiet early mornings after midnight provide the perfect setting. I am also doing three sittings of zen meditaion each evening to get my mind right. Clear !
If you read the previous sections you know the setting of the homes here on this 15 acres back in the woods and know that the UFO action here is intense . There is an alien spacecraft that has now taken up permanent residence abot 1000 yards to the right of mom's house at ground level . IT JUST HOVERS IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY NIGHT ALL NIGHT LONG. At first this semed very strange but not anymore. It is now no different than a normal home with a bright porch light sitting there . When looking at this object through binoculars there is no mistake that this is not from this world.
All my family has seen it ! We hardly discuss it anymore. I walk down and view it every night after midnight ; usually at about 3am. Yesterday morning at 4AM after the moon went down there were so many craft in the sky beyond the pasture gate at mom's house; it actually scared me. That surprised me that I would get shook up a bit but there were just so many. So far they have not tried to harm us here at the homestead. I do feel their presense ! How could I not feel their presense when seeing them every night when the sky is clear. So many last night though ??
Not so many tonight . I know the spaces in the trees so well that I know exactly where they will be for sure . That's everywhere there is a clearing. To a person not familiar with the grounds here it would not be so obvious that the 3 star formation through a gap in the trees are not always stars though at first glance would appear to be. Many blink and bob like puppets on a string.
However , last night there were new star formations not usually here . This is what scared me. . . when I realized that most were not stars . That sudden realization would scare anyone .
Now that I think about my true feelings yesterday; it was more of a sudden strange feeling than a fear that one has when they are not in control. Basic fear is when a situation becomes unpredictable or we might feel threatened . There are many levels of fear . Even the strongest among us experience this temporary loss of control or well being from time to time.
Another thing last night that I really enjoyed was when about 30 Coyotes went off all at once less than 200 yards from me near my back door in the clearing of lawn area behind my house . At the time ( 4:30 AM ) the air was completely still and the temperature about 45 degrees . My dog Zorro does not even howl or bark at them. He feels no threat and seems to know they are my friends.
I think of all those reading this as my friends and would hope you would regard me in the same way.

I'm pleased to see the Occupy Movement is alive and well . You would be better served if all political parties were thrown in a dumpster and eliminated. The political parties divide america and place the entire democratic system in contant gridlock.
Who is it that sends our US jobs overseas so we lose our homes? The politicians !
Also, it is no longer a privilege to own a car. They cost to much to purchase , insure , liscense and fill with petrol . We are screwed from every direction.
Obama has in my opinion done very well... considering his administration inherited a world of shit from the Bush administration. No greater absurdity as that Bush government has existed since the Nixon days .
Vote american .... not party !!!! Those television debates should give all candidates a jokers cap to wear before they set foot on stage. This is what they are !!!!
That Super Committee appointed to move the US debt crisis in a positive direction ... I now rename as the Stupid committee .
The fools who appointed those on the committee may as well have appointed a group of opium addicts .... DREAMERS ALL > they were !!!
You are on your own my friend . Our government is off fighting wars for more money so that they will grow larger and more powerful until all america citizens are poor and hungtry.
Those who enter political office only enter into a maze of insanity where nothing gets done.
Everyone in politics walks in circles and talks in circles to other politicians who are only floating about in the chambers of oblivian .
Why is it that the ant colonies function with great precision and mankind keeps regressing thru his futile progress.
A simple life free of the evening news is best.... if you can > keep the government far from your doorstep.
The soup I have for dinner as a free man tastes just fine .
Freedom is worth more than all the money in the world.
Do whatever it is you need to do to get your portion of freedom and see how good each portion tastes !
Every gradual step you are wise enough to take will free you from bondage.
Do you know where to find that wisdom ?
To drink from that cup is not a hidden mystical secret only few can know.
The world is in front of your face and wisdom is inside every living being.
Now you know where to find wisdom but do you now how to do this ?
That's right ... wisdom is inside you .
Wisdom is looking at the outside world from the inside.
Dive right in !
