Clothes. And I would think that everyone wears those pieces of cloths to cover ones self that can come in all different kinds of shapes, colors and styles and can usually make some kind of statement about that person who finds themselves wearing that cloth. And so this post happens to be about clothes, women’s clothes, men’s clothes, girls clothes and boys clothing. And what else is there that I can say about that word clothing that has not already been said in time except again, if you find yourself as one of those human beings dwelling here on planet earth, you may find yourself wearing that clothing. And buying and shopping for clothes can be fun sometimes, I think. And now with the invention of all things internet, one can view those clothing catalogs and shop for those clothes online all without ever having to leave home, or at least without ever having to leave a computer. As one can now find those dresses, pants, shirts, blouses, jackets, pajamas, gifts and more with just a website visit away.

The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem V
And being that all eyes are on Egypt and the middle east in the headline news these days and time, those religious thoughts come to mind. And so I thought to continue to post another excerpt from “The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem” on this blog in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever possible.
The birth pains increase and the blind multiply.
For the blind cannot see, no matter if Jesus stands right in front of them.
Surely Lord, is there even more to save?
When they only scoff and mock and are filled with evil thoughts?
Surely Lord, you know the hearts of men.
Is there left any man still that can be called to you Lord?
In Jesus Christ.
A Thousand Years
The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Men will be so numerous over the lands
That they will resemble an ant’s nest
Into which a stick has been poked
They will swarm everywhere and death will crush them underfoot
Like frightened insects.
Great movements will push them from one country to another
Brown skins will mix with white skins
The Christian faith with that of the Infidel
Some will preach sworn peace
But everywhere there will be fighting among enemy tribes.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Men will want to break down all barriers
The mother will have the hair of an old woman
The path of nature will be abandoned
And families will be like scattered grains
That nothing can unite.
It will therefore be another world
Each person will roam without ties like a bolted horse
Going in all directions with no guide
Unhappy the knight who mounts this steed
He will be without stirrups and will fall into the ditch.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Men will no longer rely on the law of God
But will want to lead their lives like a horse
They will want to choose their children in their wives’ wombs
And will kill those that they don’t like.
But what sort of man takes himself for God like that?
The Powerful will seize the best lands
And the most beautiful women
The poor and the weak will be cattle
Each home will become a donjon
Fear will be in every heart like a poison.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
A black and secret order will have risen
Its law will be of hate and its arm poison
It will want always more gold and will spread its reign
Over the earth
Those who serve it will be bound to each other by a kiss of blood.
Good men and the weak will be submitted to its rule
The Powerful will enter its service
The only law will be that which it dictates in the shadows
It will sell the poison even in the churches
And the world will walk with the scorpion under its heel.
The City Of Orlando
And I have heard of that city of Orlando to be found in that state of Florida that is to be found in that country or North America before. And isn’t that state called the Sunshine State? And even though the title of this blog finds itself called No Police State, it seems that it is not so often every so often that I find myself blaghing about everything No Police State and other random thoughts. And so this post happens to be about police harassment for some reason or another, as in I assume some sort of harassment that is by those policy polizei police in that city of Orlando. And everyone, or at least a lot of people must have heard of that term police harassment by now I would think as one of those human being dwellers here on planet earth. And so if you happen to be wondering what that police harassment is all about as I am, now with the invention of all things world wide web and internet forums land, you can find it and read all about it at OrlandoForums.com, as they are an internet forum about police harassment in Orlando and more all the time. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State?
The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem IV
And being that all eyes are on Egypt and the middle east in the headline news these days and time, those religious thoughts come to mind. And so I thought to continue to post another excerpt from “The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem” on this blog in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever possible.

A Thousand Years
The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Man will have changed the face of the earth
He will think himself the master and Ruler
Of the forests and the flocks
He will have burrowed into the ground and the sky
And left his mark in the rivers and the seas.
But the earth will be naked and sterile
The Air will become burning hot and the water will stink
Life will wilt because man will use up the richness of the world
And man will be alone like a wolf in hatred of himself
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
The child too will be sold
Some people will use him like a quintain
To get sexual pleasure from his new skin
Others will treat him like a servile animal.
They will forget the sacred weakness of the child
And his mystery
He will be a foal to be trained
Like a lamb to be bled, to be slaughtered
And man will be nothing more than savage cruelty.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
The opinions and the minds of men will be imprisoned
They will be intoxicated and will not know it
They will take images and reflections for the truth of the world
They will be treated like sheep.
Then the flesh-eaters will come
Rapacious people will herd them
The better to lead them to the cliff’s edge
And turn them against each other
They will be skinned for their wool and their leather
And man if he survives will be stripped of his soul
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Rulers with no religious beliefs will reign
They will issue orders to unsuspecting and passive crowds of people
They will hide their faces and keep their names secret
And their castles will be hidden in the forests.
But they will decide the fate of everything and of everyone
No-one will participate in the meetings of their order
Everyone will be a true serf and will believe himself to be a free man and a knight
The only ones to rise up will be those of the untamed cities
And of the heretic faiths
But first of all they will be defeated and burnt alive
The Roof
And so it seems as if I blog about everything but the kitchen sink on this blog sometimes. And so this post happens to be about Austin Roofing Repair and repairing that roof. And if you happen to find yourselves as one of those human being dwellers here on planet earth, you may sometimes find yourself in search of that basic necessity of shelter called a house or some other type of dwelling. And so along comes the phrases, roof repair, Roofing Contractor Austin and Austin Roofing. And I have heard of that city of Austin, located in that state of Texas to be found in that country of North America. And what would those houses and other dwellings be like without those roofs to cover them. And so what else is there that I can say about that word roof that has not already been said in time, except that if you happen to be looking for a roof to put over your head, or a repair for that roof over your head, finding it can be just a website visit away.

A Thousand Years
The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
The noise of killing will roll like a storm upon the earth
There will be barbarians among the soldiers of the last legions
People of different faiths will live in the heart of the Holy Cities
Each in turn will be barbarous, faithless and lawless.
There will be no more law and order
Hate will spread like a flame in the dry forest
Barbarians will massacre soldiers
Those of no faith will slit the throats of the faithful
Brutality will be everywhere and the cities will die.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Men will judge each other according to their Race and their Religion
Nobody will listen to the suffering hearts of the children
They will be taken from their nests like baby birds
And no-one will be able to protect them from the rapid hand
By the gauntlet.
Hate will flood the lands which thought themselves pacified
And nobody will be spared, neither the elderly nor the wounded
Houses will be destroyed or stolen
People will take the place of others
Each one will close his eyes so as not to see the women raped
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Everyone will know what is happening everywhere on Earth
They will see the child whose bones are piercing his skin
And the one whose eyes are covered in flies
And the one being hunted like a rat.
But the man who sees will turn away his head
For he will be thinking only of himself
That man will give a handful of seeds in charity
When he sleeps on full sacks
And what he gives with one hand he will take back with the other.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Man will make mechandise of everything
Everything will have its price
Trees, water and animals
Nothing more will be given and everything will be sold.
But then Man will be no more than his weight of flesh
His body will be bartered like a side of meat
They will take his eye and his heart
Nothing will be sacred, neither his life nor his soul
They will compete for his dead body and his blood
Like a dead animal to be cut up

A Thousand Years
The Prophecy of John of Jerusalem
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Hunger will squeeze the stomachs of so many men
And cold will turn blue so many hands
That these people will want to see another world
And dream-merchants will come who will offer them the poison.
But it will destroy bodies and rot souls
And those who will have mixed the poison with their blood
Will be like wild beasts caught in a trap
And will kill and rape and extort and steal
And life will become an everyday apocalypse.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
Each person will seek as much sexual pleasure as he can
The man will repudiate his wife as many times as he marries
And the woman will go from place to place taking whomever pleases her
Giving birth without giving the Father’s name
But no educator will guide the child
And each one among the others will be alone
Tradition will be lost
The Law will be forgotten
As if the Annunciation had never been made and man
Will become wild again
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
The father will take his pleasure with his daughter
Man with man, woman with woman
The old man with the impubescent child
And that will be known by all.
But blood will become impure
The disease will spread from bed to bed
The body will receive all the putrefactions of the earth
Faces will be gaunt, limbs will be emaciated
Love will be a great threat
For those who only know each other sexually.
When the Year Thousand that comes after Year Thousand begins
He who speaks of sworn Oaths and of Law
Will not be heard
He who preaches the Christian Faith
Will lose his voice in the desert.
But everywhere will spread the strong waters
Of other religions
False messiahs will assemble blinded men
And the armed Infidel will be like never before
He will speak of justice and of right
And his faith will be burning and decisive
He will take his revenge for the Crusade
Theater
Theater, performances, concerts, shows, events. And it seems as if everyone, or at least a lot of people can use a break from the every day routine to go watch some sort of entertainment. And then there are those sports events. And if you happen to be one of those sports fans who watches those sports events, and if you also happen to be looking for those sporting event tickets, you can find them at ACheapSeat.com. They are a website where you can find those Colorado Avalanche Tickets, Edmonton Oilers Tickets, Los Angeles Kings Tickets, Montreal Canadiens Tickets, New Jersey Devils Tickets and more. You can find all kinds of tickets for different shows at their website such as U2 concert tickets, Lady Gaga tickets, King of Leon tour dates, Usher tour schedule, Jersey Boys tour dates, Lion King tickets, Spiderman tickets and a whole lot more in many different venues such as Madison Square Garden and in just about any state in that country of North America that one can think of. And now with the invention of all things internet, finding that sport, theater or concert ticket has never been easier.
Technology
And I’m not exactly sure what it means when I start posting USATODAY.com articles titled “2010: The year technology replaced talking”, on this blog in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever possible. It’s just that hey, maybe it’s less writing sometimes, I think. And so this is one of those articles I came across from someones facebook page throughout my travels in internetland. And though the words may have changed in this following article, the story remains the same.
When someone gets home from work as a New York City book editor, they check their BlackBerry at the door.
“I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,” says someone, who’d rather focus at home on their husband and 12-year-old daughter. “It’s there and it beckons. That’s human nature (but) … we kind of get crazy sometimes and we don’t know where it should stop.”
Americans are connected at unprecedented levels — 93% now use cellphones or wireless devices; one-third of those are “smartphones” that allow users to browse the Web and check e-mail, among other things. The benefits are obvious: checking messages on the road, staying in touch with friends and family, efficiently using time once spent waiting around.
The downside: Often, we’re effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.
That’s why, despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever, 2010 was the Year We Stopped Talking to One Another. From texting at dinner to posting on facebook from work or checking e-mail while on a date, the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention, not to mention social angst. Many analysts say it’s time to step back and reassess.
“What we’re going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before,” says someone else who studies the social implications of using mobile devices. “It can be a good thing. But I also see new ways the traditional social fabric is getting somewhat torn apart.”
Our days are filled with beeps and pings — many of which pull us away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations. We may feel that the distractions are too much, but we can’t seem to stop posting, texting or surfing.
“We’re going through a period of adjustment and rebalancing,” says someone else, principal researcher in socio-digital systems at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, England, and author of the new book Texture: Human Expression in the Age of Communications Overload.
And another person, director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self in Cambridge, Mass., wants to remind people that technology can be turned off.
“Our human purposes are to really have connections with people,” that person says. “We have to reclaim it. It’s not going to happen naturally.”
Their new book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, suggests that the time is right for reassessment. “You have to have experiences with it before you can ask these questions. You can’t ask in the first five years. You have to see how it plays out,” they say.
Their worried about what they see today.
“We’ve come to confuse continual connectivity with making real connections,” they say. “We’re ‘always on’ to everyone. When you actually look more closely, in some ways we’ve lost the time for the conversations that count.”
Connected to your social circle
A sociologist is familiar with dire predictions associated with new technology: They outlined them in a 1992 book America Calling: A Social History of the Telephone to 1940.
“If you go back 100 years, people were writing things about the telephone not unlike people are writing about these technologies. There was a whole literature of alarm — how it’s turning everything upside down,” he says.
In a new book, Still Connected: Family and Friends in America Since 1970, this person says the total contact time with friends and family has not changed much in 40 years; there has been a slight decline in face-to-face contact but a substantial increase in other ways of communicating, such as phone and e-mail.
The “major” change is “the idea that you are available to everybody in your social circle at every minute and they are available to you,” this person says. “What its consequences and implications are, we don’t know.”
A Social psychologist is among those studying our relationship with technology. “At any moment, you’re dividing your attention between the person in front of you and the person you’re giving snippets of your attention to. We don’t know the net consequence of reducing the quality of the relationship a little bit with the person you’re with while improving or maintaining it with the person you’re electronically tied to.”
That psychologist says, “Some researchers do worry that connections to other people elsewhere are weakening the connections to people you’re with.”
A director of the Center for Mobile Communication Studies at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., and editor of Mobile Communication: Dimensions of Social Policy says “There’s no question that these mobile gadgets are affecting our behavior. There is not a uniform declaration that everyone agrees to as to what this change means. Everybody sees merits and demerits, but whether the effect is good or bad is hotly contested.”
That person says mobile phones provide opportunities to coordinate social activities more easily.
“The more people use mobile phones, the more likely they are to see friends and family because it strengthens those relationships,” he says. “It doesn’t take away from how much we see our friends, but it can take away from the quality of the time we spend with people when we’re physically together and using the technology with others.”
The statistics paint a clear picture of dramatic increases in mobile devices. According to a semi-annual wireless survey released in October by the industry trade group CTIA-The Wireless Association, 93% of Americans now use a wireless device or cellphone — and not just for voice calls.
From June 2009 to June 2010, subscribers sent 1.8 trillion text messages (up 33% from the previous year) and 56.3 billion multimedia messages (up 187% from the year before). In its latest monthly report, the Nielsen Co. found that almost 30% of mobile subscribers in the USA have a smartphone such as a BlackBerry or iPhone.
“Mobile telephony is becoming ubiquitous, with access to mobile networks now available to over 90% of the global population,” says the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency.
That person also says Americans feel these changes so profoundly because we’re just now “truly experiencing this kind of critical mass.”
“It’s not just about the adoption level being high, but this technology has really worked its way into our everyday lives,” he says.
Less than full attention
As with much in technology, some differences may be generational.
Teens are just fine with being together and texting others at the same time, they say.
“There’s no social disruption,” a person says. “But across generational lines, there is major disruption.” Adults “are offended and don’t understand why, when the family is trying to spend time together, teens have to be socially someplace else.”
It’s not just happening with parents and teens.
When someone starts texting at a party or a business meeting, it may be taken as in insult by those physically present. When a parent pulls out the BlackBerry to e-mail the office while at home with the kids, the unfortunate message they send to the children may be that “there is someone I’d rather be interacting with than you.”
There are upsides: The increased use of mobile devices does help keep relationships alive, says someone, who says cellphones allow people to convert otherwise wasted time (such as that spent walking somewhere) to contact with others.
“It’s multitasking in a way that’s good,” that person says. “They need to get someplace, but can have a pleasurable conversation when they’re doing it.”
At the same time, a person says, we can no longer assume we have someones full attention when we’re physically with them. “We’re saying to each other in one way or another that we can always put each other on pause.”
Sharing space
Another person, more tech lovers are setting limits.
No one had to tell someone how consumed by technology their family was. They unplugged for six months, and they recounted the experience in The Winter of Our Disconnect: How Three Totally Wired Teenagers (and a Mother Who Slept With Her iPhone) Pulled the Plug on Their Technology and Lived to Tell the Tale.
“We’re connected to everything but one another and it’s completely normal for this time and place,” that person says.
That person was spurred to act when they looked around the living room and “all I could see were the backs of people’s heads, because they were interacting with their screens.”
At the time, that persons kids were 14, 15 and 18.
“It was the prime of their teenage years — that last moment when we were going to all be together under that one roof,” that person says. “I felt sick at the pit of my stomach that this was going to all dwindle away.”
The person says it was liberating to be free of their devices, even though they loves technology.
Others have these mixed feelings, as well.
“There’s no question cellphones somehow make you reachable 24/7, and I don’t like it,” says a lawyer and mother of two daughters, ages 12 and 7.
“Now, they expect you to answer the phone all the time,” she says. “I think it’s disruptive and disconcerting. But my 12-year-old thinks it’s wonderful to be connected all the time.”
Someone else says times have changed.
“It used to be if someone was talking to themselves, they were usually not in their right state of mind. Nowadays, you realize they have an earpiece and are talking to someone and not really where they are. They’re not connected to the time or place they’re in,” she says.
Despite the persons cellphone, BlackBerry, Kindle and the iPad they share with colleagues at work, someone says adults are having a more difficult adjustment to the world consumed by technology. That person doesn’t thinks kids will.
“They’re so used to it and like everything, they’ll get blasé about it,” the person says.
But, that person has their concerns: “I worry for the kids that they won’t know what it’s like to share a story, to look people in the eyes — to know that sharing a space with someone is all about connecting and not with the technological device.”
No Police State
