I’m not really a person that keeps up with fashion trends or styles, and I don’t usually notice what’s “IN” until it affects me in some way or I need something…
but listen to me. LOL Personalized coffee mugs are in right now. That’s right. You heard it here first. LOL Personalized coffee mugs.
Part 2 – I wanted to let my readers know that this short story is turning into a long one, and I think I’m just going to let it lead the way and see where it takes me. Below is just a summary of Chapter 12, and I’m going to conclude here. Thank you.
Chapter Twelve
Of course Gary was getting very upset when Maureen was explaining her situation with Guy. Fortunately, Gary was really understanding because he knew certain powers and influences were just beyond their control. The fact that Maureen claims she was paralyzed during the incident, well, it is possible.
Their conversation takes a slight turn as Maureen starts to shift a little blame on CCU for using their relationship, and more importantly, marriage, as a trap for catching evil time travelers. She claims if their relationship hadn’t been used in such a way than maybe her and Guy would’ve never crossed paths. Good point.
Either way, their vacation is coming to an end, and Gary will now take his position at Area 31, CCU headquarters.
Thank you for reading along.

What’s up you all? How are you this evening?
I read a tweet today that said something about robots replacing journalist, and it just got me thinking about what I wrote in my post a few days ago. I told you journalism is wide open. I also told you what I write in my news now and commentary categories was real and up-to-date.
The point is, the only way robots could replace humans in any field is if humans are that dependent on machines to do their job. If your local television news station decided to print the news and allow you the viewer to read it during the news hour, do you really need the reporter to tell you the news? Probably not.
Do you need to watch the television news at night if you read the newspaper every morning? Probably not.
Can a robot go to a job fair and interact with local businesses, and then write about it? Probably not.
Journalism and news reporting in general is one career area that has benefited from the use of machines and computers, but humans were reporting the news way before machines, and they’ll continue to do so when technology breaks down.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
For all my fellow Aquarians out there, when it comes to love and relationships our two most compatible signs are Leo and Sagittarius. That’s really interesting because they’re both fire signs, and as you know we’re an air sign. According to the elemental language of love, air and fire can be very compatible. A lot of air may put a fire out, but a little air could fan the flames of love for a very long time.
Now that I think about it, I don’t know if I ever dated a Leo.
Have A Good Night

Alright, what’s up you all?
Today obviously is the first day of April. I hope you didn’t get tricked too good, but hey, the day isn’t over yet.
I just wanted to let you, my dear readers know the News Now category on this site is real up to date news. It’s not traditional in the sense of reading scripts, copy editing, or following narratives, but it’s real and current. I mean usually I’ll cover some sports, and you’re probably aware it’s mostly Pennsylvania sports.
Journalism right now is wide open, and truthfully, you can turn on the television, or pick up a news paper and “read all about it,” but I’m coming to you live and direct, which is why we encourage more interaction from readers. It’s all good.
There’s so much happening right now. Who’s on the job hunt? Are you trying to find a career, or a part time job to make a few bucks? At this point in my life, I know what I’m bringing to the table when I apply somewhere so my emphasis has really been on the employer and the people I could potentially be working with.
If you’re bouncing from job to job, it could wear on you. It could get you down, and the inconsistency could drive you nuts, but don’t let it get to you. For those who really enjoy working and like making a paycheck, not working can be the worst feeling, and that time in between jobs might feel like an eternity, but shit does happen. Make sure you’re learning from your mistakes.
It actually took me a while to start figuring this out, but I’m starting to feel good about the way I shop for jobs. If you notice an employer losses your application several times and has you reapply, or they say the’ll call you at a specific time on a specific day and don’t, then you need to consider if it’s worth your time.
Think about it. You take the time to update your resume, either you make a trip to the place to fill out an application, or complete one on the internet, and you follow all their guidelines for applying. Don’t forget, you do this with an upbeat and positive attitude. At the very least, they can hold up their end. Perhaps, act like they really want to bring in a fresh new hire. They did say they needed help.
How about a job or career fair? Have you tried one lately? If you haven’t, but you plan on getting to one soon then there’s something you should know. A career fair is a set up with like thirty or so employers/companies, and from my personal experience there’s two things I want to share.
The employers/companies have representatives there who have tables with attractive displays. Some are way better than others, and after making a few rounds, it’s easy to spot who put in the effort, and who just slapped something together, but the idea behind the table displays are to sell their place of business to you, the person who’s looking for a place to work.
The reps should be positive, upbeat, and want to sell you a job. They should want to sell you a job. I approached one table to inquire about a particular place to work, and the rep behind the table told me to complete the application on line. That shouldn’t be your experience with any company at a job fair. You shouldn’t walk away from a table feeling like you could’ve gotten more accomplished if you stayed home and applied.
A career fair is a chance for job seekers and employers to come out from behind the screens, and talk to one another, which is very important considering the way the application process has evolved.
The second thing is to be conscious that the tables are close together. If two companies you really want to apply to are sitting next to each other, you might want to speak to them at different times. If you talk to Company A, and tell them you really want to work for them, and their company is really great, you’re going to look like you’re full of shit if you repeat the same thing to Company B who just heard what you said to Company A.
Have A Wonderful Night
I guess you can say it’s old fashioned, but I’m sure Spring Cleaning is still popular. You know the time of year when we open all the windows in our houses to let the fresh spring air blow through and cleanse the winter germs and dust away.
Depending on our wardrobe size, some of us might even give those winter coats, clothes, and accessories a good washing before packing them away until next winter. Some of us guys probably have that one pair of cargo shorts we keep on hand all year, but you get the point.
In our lives, April is an important time as well. When April is over the year will be 1/3 complete. Usually people split the year into four to keep pace with the seasons, but thirds work just as well.
Take a moment to think about where your life is, and ask yourself, “Am I better now than I was at this point last year?” “Have I been keeping up with my New Years Resolutions?”
If you’re not happy with your progress, and expected to be closer to achieving your goals than find out what’s holding you back. April is a good time to remove all the stuff from your life that isnt helping or working for you. It could be a certain relationship, a job choice, or something in your immediate surroundings.
Whatever it is, remove it or change it. Life is interesting, it really is. Shake things up. You’d be surprised how different your current situation could be by making a few decisions.
If things are going well for you, congratulations! Keep it going. Feel free to write in. We would like to hear how 2019 is treating you.
You might recognize the picture posted with this article. I used it once before for symbolic purposes. It shows life sprouting through a less than accommodating foundation. It’s something positive coming from a rocky start. It shows the difficulties that surround us. Most importantly, it represented the start that kicked our year off together.
By the time August ends and 2019 is 2/3 complete, that plant is going to be in full bloom and surrounded by a more suitable and supportive environment.
I always liked this picture. It makes me think there’s a portal out there somewhere, and if you fly through the center, you’ll end up in a new world.
If you remember, I posted the picture of the Level 3 Map from the Nintendo classic game Zelda. The shape of the map was a swastika, and it was shocking to see because I never noticed it when I was a playing the NES original game as a young child.
Here’s the second thing I found in the same game, which let me remind you, Zelda came out in the 80s.
The picture above is a room in the last Level, Level 9. If you look in the upper left corner, you’ll notice the L has been cropped out, but the word is Level. So you have Level – 9, and down the center of the room are two separate rows of blocks stretching from one end of the floor to the other. It clear as day to see both rows make the number 11.
9 11 The number 9 from Level 9 and the columns show us 9 11. Additionally, in this particular room you can use two bombs to blow two holes in the walls.
Foreshadowing the 9 11 explosion in a children’s game from the 80’s. Two bombs and two explosions = two planes making two explosions into the two towers represented by the number 11 or the two rows of blocks on the floor. On September 11, or 9/11.
Coincidence? Write in, and let me know what you think. What’s up? I’m shocked.
I’ll leave you this shocker. After using the bomb to blow a hole in the wall at the bottom of the screen, the next room you go into is the eye of the skull. Oh yea, the shape of the Level – 9 map is of a skeleton.
I do. I love astrology, and I know there’s a lot of people out there who find it intriguing. I usually don’t like to share all the fun stuff I do in my spare time, but for those astrology fans out there, you might enjoy this. In addition, I know there are people who like Astrology, but don’t know what to do with it. Some people are overwhelmed by the symbolism, and don’t know where to begin.
You can very easily become obsessed with astrology, and dive into researching everything and anything related to it. At the end of the day, it can become something very serious for those who “really believe in it” and “really put their faith in it.” You have your wheel divided in twelve, your signs, and their ruling planets, and it literally operates like clock work. Here’s a break though. Here’s something to bring some fun and enjoyment back into the practice.
I’m an Aquarius, and Aquarius is the sign in the Eleventh House. On a piece of plain white paper or a plain white poster board, draw the inside of a house. Some of us can draw better than others, but the idea is to draw an open house that you can see into.
I tried to draw a three dimensional version of an open house, and it’s okay. LOL My drawing skills are alright.
Anyway, so if you’re a Pisces, you’re going to write in the house all the things that are related to Pisces. You can start by putting a big number 12 on the front door because the Pisces home is the 12th house. So you can pretend 12 is also the house address.
From there, on the inside, start writing everything related to your sign. Some ideas are compatibility signs, colors, its element, the months the sun is there, and the name of its ruling planet. Then, you can write all the things related to its ruling planet, all the things the house itself represents, and whatever makes Pisces unique.
Not only is this activity fun, but you’re really going to learn about your sign. In addition, you’re totally raising your awareness with everything involving Astrological Pisces. When you go outside, run errands, go to work, or wherever, you’ll start noticing all those things you wrote about, all those things related to you and your sign.
One of the awesome things about astrology is that teaches us about us. We learn about things that make us unique and different, and that’s what we like.
I included a picture of my Aquarian 11th House, but it’s still a little empty. I just started it. Write in, let me know what you think. What’s your sign?

I used to be a student at the University of Metaphysical Sciences, and it has been a long time since I’ve taken any courses or joined in any blog topics. Recently, however, I was listening to a short video created by one of the school’s founders, and she was talking about a situation where someone was being asked to forget, forgive, and move on from something.
The point she was trying to make was that not all people are equally evolved. It’s not taking the high road, and it’s not thinking you’re better. Sometimes we expect something from someone that we might put more value in, and it’s just better to move on. Sometimes you might not get that apology, that favor returned, or your due credit.
I would like to begin this second part article by revisiting certain key points. We’re talking karma here. We’re talking about getting back what you put out. In Conquer Karma and Master Universal Law 1 I told you that if you wanted to be on the favorable side of karma then you must absolutely be sincere in your actions. You should also be humble.
Sometimes however, things just happen. Sometimes things happen to people that are completely random. I think it’s important to supply you, the reader, with additional information. This topic for most people, is in one ear and out of the other, but if you are truly interested and you understand and you can relate to what I’m writing, than you’re an individual who will gain from this conversation.
If you are on a spiritual path, really on a spiritual path, then you cannot in no way be a know-it-all, and I’m not saying that in a way like I’m trying to tell you what to do or how to act. You just understand there’s a randomness about the universe, and it’s a beautiful thing because all experiences are opportunities for us to learn.
I think the most important thing for me to share is we shouldn’t have a belief so strong about something like Karma that it limits our perceptions of it.
Anything related to the idea of, “what we put out eventually comes back to us,” is considered Karma. It’s not always something like, “you get robbed, and someone steals from the thief soon after.”
Here’s a good example of what I mean. Your having a garage sale, and most of your customers are going to be your neighbors and people from your neighborhood. You really enjoy hosting these sales because you enjoy watching other people get excited about things you haven’t looked at in years. Everything is priced very low because you want to get rid of your stuff, you don’t want to carry it back in the house.
Someone comes along and steals a few items you were selling for dollar. You were very upset because one, they were $1 items, and two, the thief had to live close. Just when you were about to let it ruin your day a new customer pulls up and buys the one item you thought you would never sell because it was really expensive. Selling that one item made your whole sale worth it.
So you see, this is how it works sometimes. Maybe nothing bad had to happen to the thief to complete the Karmic Circle, but rather, you were due for something good to happen to you.
After all, you really really enjoyed garaged sales.
