Happy Friday, Y’all! Yeah! So you want to give money to a millionaire?!? Really?!? Do a “TGIF” with me and send that money to a worthy charitable foundation (research it first!) or something! Snap out of it!! BOOM!!
It seems like the so-called “leader of the free world” has inherited some issues with inequalities in a variety of areas! Are WE really free? Do we really care anymore? Now, THAT’S the damn problem – folks don’t care anymore and many of us have adopted the “rat race/dog eat dog” mentality and wonder why stuff is so messed up!! People don’t even have time to CARE anymore!! Now that’s some SERIOUS sh@t! We’ve got to break that spell generated by greed and selfishness and begin sharing and community building.
Okay. I didn’t want to mention this but … The publishing company still has the bulk of the money I had paid over two installments back in October 2020 (I put a stop payment on the third!) which is just over a thousand dollars. The bank I use is “waiting” for the bank of the “criminal” publishing company to reply with a document!! It’s going on 90 days now, which on February 15th will come full circle! I must admit that this has got me “messed up a bit” … I don’t appreciate it when folks intentionally delay a project especially this manuscript which is dedicated to my Mother. I may be reading too much into it but that’s the way I am, too. I have to still “learn” that even here, “the process” takes some time. “Patience, my Son!” But this is a characteristic of how corrupt greed and capitalism in the USA have gotten … some folks have NO MORALS when it comes to “someone else’s” money. (Some folks steal from their own family member!) Anyway, I will keep you updated … It’s something else that I have to work on.
So, right now I have been fortunate enough to have found a dentist here in Puerto who can help me with my teeth. It’s a long-overdue activity that I had been ignoring because dental insurance and treatment in the States requires one to be rather wealthy or connected … somehow. So, I’ll invest any extra funds I may come up with in my mouth! Soon next week, I think … I’ve got to “feel” it first … I will begin my research into publishing with “Amazon”. That should keep me busy! “Stay focused”!
Today, I didn’t wake up with “scrump” on my mind … like most of the world! Most of us know that we haven’t seen the tip of the iceberg that this character put afloat in the USA and the world. While I am not expecting Pres. Biden to do any miracles, I am expecting those of us with a “higher calling”, often called “leadership”, to get out there and promote our activism with love. Talk to your fellow human … try a conversation … I said a conversation without guns and flags and hostilities. Trust me, I know that’s not easy … I’ve been at it for a while now … ever since I learned that “Love is the Answer”! I truly believe that we the people have a chance to move our energies in a much more positive direction. I mean, there’s enough on ALL of our plates to get started so, let’s begin!!
Enjoy your weekends! Give love a chance!
Peace,
John I. Cook, Director
