My last post was 10 months ago, and not much has changed since then aside from my latest 2,000 mile relocation which as of now is something that has become second nature to me. Ever since I returned from Japan, my life has been in almost a suspended animation, aside from my accumulation of knowledge from a variety of schools of thought and practice. My intellect may have developed over these last six years, but my emotional state has stagnated in its development while my body has shed a solid 20lbs from my highest peak of physical health. However, my biggest problem resides in my lack of inner strength and sense of self worth. 

Oil prices have fell from $150 to $50 as of yesterday, just as I said it would back in August.

The oil price will stay right around $50 for at least the next 6 months and gas prices will drop to an average of about $1.50/gal, which it will stay at for about the same amount of time.

Saudi Arabia (and other middle eastern countries) require oil prices to stay above $80 or else they will start going bankrupt.

They are holding about a thousand trillian dollars in American debts. If they can't afford to pay for those, the value of the dollar is going to go down drastically almost over night. When that happens, the money you're barely scraping by with now, isn't even going to cover the cost of food, which grocery stores won't be able to afford to stock anymore, because they won't be able to get the loans to buy the food.

Add to that the carbon tax, which will exponentially increase the cost of  raising livestock, and the operations of a number of other industries that are vital to our economy, and you'll begin to see how much trouble we're going to be in when the farms can't afford to produce the food we eat, and the electricity companies can't afford to provide us cheap electricity.

This only scratches the surface of the deep shit we're walking in to.

Just watch as the gas prices continue to go down another 40 cents and stay virtually the same for the next 6 months. Once you see that some kid in Austin can predict gas and oil prices that far in advance with great accuracy as well as the fate of a super rich foreign nation, maybe then you'll start taking some precautionary measures like stocking up on foods with a long shelf life, guns and ammo, and converting your assets into things like gold and silver which will be worth far more than the dollar bills you'll soon be wiping your ass with.

Pay attention to news regarding Iran, Russia, and oil rich nations like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, as they are about to get a lot more media attention.

How did I know months in advance that gas was going to $50 per barrel? Because the people controlling the price of oil told me.

Got up at 4:45am and reached the extra's parking lot at 6:30.
I filled out an identical form to the one I filled out yesterday when I went in for my fitting, and got my wardrobe. After changing, I stood in the hair and makeup line for about an hour and a half only to have them tell me I don't need either (I'm pretty).
I got on the bus and got shipped over to some kind of commons area in a different building at southwestern university where I'm currently waiting for something to happen. So far, my conclusion is that I could show up in an hour or so and still be in the same position I'm in now, plus about five hours of sleep. Another interesting thing is how detailed they are about the wardrobe, only to cover it all up with a graduation robe.

We lined up at 11 and went out to do the graduation speech scene. I sat at the back of the students, infront of the parents. They passed out retro glasses and then panchos and umbrellas when we got rained on. We did a couple practice takes with a stand-in speaker, then did a couple takes from the front with the real actress and a shot from behind.

We broke for lunch at 2, and they called out a smaller group at 2:50 for another scene.

1) Drink at least a liter of straight water every day: An entire plethora of otherwise incurable diseases, aches, and pains can be avoided by keeping your cells properly hydrated. While you're at it, cut down drinking coffee and alcohol, and just stop drinking sodas all together. Many of those further dehydrate you, rather than nurishing your body, which is one reason so many of you have hangovers. You're losing moisture every time you breathe, so remember to put some of that water back in your body.

2) Cut the sugar: Do you have bad breath in the morning? Do you get bad menstrual cramps? Smelly poo that takes 20 minutes to get off your ass? Chances are you are eating way too much sugar. Aside from being completely unnecessary for good health, lots of diseases and disorders (including many cancers) that we've come to accept as normal (morning breath) did not even exist prior to the widespread use of refined sugar in people's diets. Unfortunately these days sugar or some more harmful analogue of it (sucralose/high fructose corn syrup) is in nearly EVERY packaged product you are likely to find at the grocery store. The only way you're likely to ever get away from all that crap is to buy only fresh produce and learn how to cook, which brings me to my next point.

3) Stop eating shit: If the quality of the meat isn't reason enough to keep you from eating at places like McDonalds and Taco Bell, then maybe the fact that most of what you get from there is fried in vegetable oil or some other ridicously cheap and unhealthy concoction, doused in sodium chloride, and made from ingredients of which maybe half will actually be a real food. Look at the loaves of bread at the grocery store, chances are you will never ever find one that only has an ingredients list consisting of unbleached flour, brown sugar, water, salt, olive oil, yeast, egg, and cornmeal. Chances are, they will all look something like this: enriched bleached flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid,  high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, wheat gluten, yeast, monocalcium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, corn starch, dough conditioners, asorbic acid, and soy lecithin. The general rule is, if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't be eating it. All of the crap they put in things like bread are generally there as a perservative to artificially extend the shelf life of the product so they can make more money. Your health is not a point of interest for 99% of the companies that make all the dog shit you shovel in your mouth every day. Healthy food either tends to go bad pretty quickly, or costs a lot more than its unhealthy counterpart, neither of which are good for business.

3) Eat fresh, whole foods: Think natural for this. Raw fruits, nuts, vegetables, whole grains, wild fish, free range chicken, raw milk, etc. Proper nutrition goes into much more depth than I'm knowledgeable, but if you eat a variety of different fresh foods and drink water, you've got the first leg of the good health stool covered. Ontop of this, most real foods like carrots and apples have certain medicinal properties as well as benefit specific organs.

4) Stop putting crap in your body: What do you take every day? I take food and water. No pills, no supplements, no vitamins, no medications, no bullshit. If you're not aware of the huge medical-industrial complex money making racket, then you need to get out from under the rock you call home. Aside from overprescribing dangerous/harmful medications for bullshit disorders as well as all the new and not even fully tested pills coming on the market all the time that later get recalled because they killed a thousand people and gave thousands of others cancer, Western Medicine's understanding of how the body works is fundamentally inaccurate, and therefore especially dangerous because of how medications are processed by the body. An antihistamine medicine used to treat a poison ivy rash that is taken orally will be dispersed throughout the body and affect many areas other than the site of the swelling, such as in the brain, causing drowsiness. Depending on the drug, this can cause a variety of adverse side-effects, not the least of which can be death. Even adverse drug reactions from shit the doctor gives you in a hospital account for over 100,000 deaths per year in the United States. The whole nature of human biology is complex enough to merit its own blog, but for now, just know that any normal person will almost never need to take any medication, supplement, or vitamin in their life if they follow the general guidelines I'm setting up for you. Furthermore, most of those things are actually bad for you, despite what your medical professional drug pusher may tell you. If it's not penicillin or the cure for polio, chances are you don't need it. Medications and Addictazac are something you really don't want to fuck with unless you get your leg chopped off or something in a car crash. Even aside from all that, most drugs dispensed for legitimate ailments only treat the symptoms, not the cause, which means you gotta keep taking it and taking it and taking it and taking out another loan so you can pay for all your prescriptions to treat the ailments that your other medications caused.

4) Don't worry, be happy: Someone cut you off? Your hair not behaving today? Working a shitty job with a shitty boss? Got an abusive boyfriend that doesn't give a shit about you? If you're in a bad situation like a shit job and a worthless boyfriend, quit the job and dump the boyfriend. If you got cutoff, say YOU MOTHER FUCKER! and forget about it. Due to mind-body relationship, if you're stressing out all the time and being a whiny bitch, you're creating a lot more problems for yourself than you're solving, as well as potentially creating health problems from headaches and ulcers up to and including cancer. So just let it go, think about something funny, and call me up for some good sex or something. Being happy, creative, and playful is the miracle cure for life as well as just about anything else you'll ever run into.

5) Get off your ass: Leave the house. Go walk somewhere. Get some exercise. Do whatever you have to do, just get your heart rate up and wear yourself out a few days a week. You'll sleep easier and be in better health and mood. I really shouldn't have to explain this to you.

Beliefs/Ideology:
Religious: To be truly spiritual, I think is to be aware of yourself as you really exist. You are a human with a body, the body is made of billions of individual cells working in conjuction towards a common goal, these cells have their own internal organs which are made of chemical and protein molecules. Molecules are specific combinations of atoms and electons which not only emit light, but blink into and out of existence. Even the notion that we are made of physical matter is incorrect. Couple this with the understanding that reality is completely relative to your perspective. If you look close enough, you will see solid matter disappear entirely, if you are able to widen the scope of your perception to the same degree in the opposite direction, you can reach the point where the earth is the size of an atom and the world you're in now is likely quite immaterial as well. Always keep in mind that you are a spec on a much larger spec in a swirling brightly colored shower of light.spinning around a much larger center so vast that it is beyond the comprehension of the average person. And also that everything about you from your hearing to the colors you see to your thoughts, all operate within certain frequency ranges, so what you know as reality or the real world, is in fact, a very small piece of the pie that you are completely oblivious to without the aid of technology. The fact that you here right now, reading and possibly understanding what it is I'm talking about, is a mind blowing gift that should be utilized to its fullest potential while you still have the opportunity.

Political: We need universal healthcare, legalization and regulation of drugs, renewable/clean energy, a complete overhaul of the public education system, don't outsource jobs until every US citizen has a job that he can pay his bills with, and much much more.

Social: There are so many things that need to be changed, for now I will only say that we need to start taking care of ourselves, our environment, and start giving a shit about the well being of other people instead of what's on TV.

Life: The best thing you can possibly do for yourself is to make everyday the most enjoyable and happiest day of your life. You have complete control over how you live your life even when bad things happen to you. You are never the victim of circumstance. Your soul was created in the likeness of 'god', and like 'god', you have the same omnipotent power over your own life. You control your own fate, but you have to make it happen.

Love: The energy that flows from the One is love. It is the single most powerful force that we have within our grasp. It prolongs life, promotes health, improves quality of life, and a host of other invaluable benefits. However, love is not limited to loving other people. Love is not even limited to what you love to do or other things you love. Love is an eternal and infinite energy, love is something you experience, and cultivating true love and happiness in your own life will produce a life you never thought possible.
