Iβm venturing out and doing a short podcast. The latest episode is about a previous post. As a matter of fact, itβs the audio version of that particular post.
Of my favorite memories one of the best was my time in Charlotte, NC in the mid-nineties.
I was still in a partying phase and had split with my ex-wife and ended up rooming with a couple of guys. One of them had a band (didnβt nearly everyone then?) and was friends with several bands around town so, by association, I became friends with several bands around town.
And this is how I came to meet the fellas from Animal Bag. I went to every show I could get to with them. I drank too much with them. And I smoked too much with them. And it was one of the best times of my life.
There were good times and bad, just like any time of life.
There were nights I didnβt think I was going to live through.
And there were nights I never wanted to end.
And here I am tonight writing this after cooking supper, feeding the family, and washing dishes. The whole time listening to Animal Bag and it took me back. (I can still hit those notes Luke.)
Iβm in a place I never thought Iβd make it too. Iβm in a place I never thought Iβd deserve.
Their music is available on Apple and Amazon. And hereβs a little bit of it to tempt you in if youβre into that sort of thing.
Well I’ve been livin’ in the city where the days are hot and shitty And the nights can be so long Some how I gotta get away, from my same old everyday I’m headed back where I belong
It’s what I gotta do Gotta tell ’em all to Stick it where the sun don’t shine
Everybody gotta move out to the country Everybody gotta get out of the city
Well now I’m livin’ in the city where the scenery ain’t as pretty As the grass and trees can be Some how I gotta ease my mind, to where the sun is always shinin’ Go and see what I can see
It’s what I gotta do Gotta tell ’em all to Stick it where the sun don’t shine
Everybody gotta move out to the country Everybody gotta get out of the city It ain’t no surprise when you’re under blue skies You don’t got no worries, ain’t in no hurry Everybody gotta move out to the country
Fresh air Times Square You want to be my wife Goodbye city life We are there
I can see the sun, I can breathe the air I can wear no clothes, I can grow my hair I got elbowroom and there’s plenty to spare, ’cause Everybody got to move out to the country Everybody got to get out of the city One more time Everybody got to move out to the country Everybody got to get out of the city
It ain’t no surprise when you’re under blue skies You don’t got no worries, ain’t in no hurry Everybody gotta move out to the country Whoa yeah
Those things you walk by in a department store and donβt pay attention to because youβre looking for a phone or whatnot, Iβm one of the people who made that all nice and neat.
This week starts our phone resets and thatβs good for hours for us and our company. I enjoy doing this for some odd reason.
Iβm doing some research on Unit 731, a Japanese chemical weapons research division back on WWII. Itβs horrible, dark, and honestly fascinating.
Iβve recently dropped a lot of things. Facebook and Facebook messenger have been deleted from my phone. Iβm tired of their censorship. They came for a lot of Conservatives very quickly. (Although, I am now seeing that theyβre coming for the Left as well.)
Amazon Web Services shut Parler out. No a conservative website but one of free speech. Okay. They can do that I suppose. But I donβt have to give them my money anymore. Amazon Prime/Video isnβt welcome in our home.
I havenβt considered myself a part of the Right for some time. Iβve been pushed to the middle but I donβt consider myself a Libertarian.
I have considered myself a man “without a country” politically speaking for quite some time. Although I have voted conservative. Why? Because the Left keeps pushing more radical people into office.
Itβs the first month of 2021. And I literally feel like a man without a country.
We are being destroyed from within. D. C. is locked down with armed troops. Fences are installed around the Capitol building. Iβve visited there several times and what Iβm seeing now is unrecognizable.
We are not America anymore. Not the United States.
This is Newmerica.
I have also being degooglefying my phone (new word?).
Gmail and Google Photos are still there. I have to figure out how to download all my photos. Gmail isnβt a problem. I donβt use email that much, so not that big a deal to me.
I just donβt know where to go. I would rather have a phone that doesnβt connect and be monitored by everyone.
Iβm not a paranoid person but I know that things are being used against us in the guise of being helpful.
Yesterday I got in the car and looked at the gas gauge and said out loud, βYep. I need gas.β I hit the Apple Maps app on my phone and there were directions to the gas station I use all the time in town.
All I wanted to do was go get a haircut.
That is just strange, that is someone listening. Or some thing, rather.
Iβve been wanting to do a podcast for quite some time.
I did one episode of a podcast with one friend and seven or eight spiders with two other friends. It was a good time but didnβt work at time wise so Iβm going at it alone. If there are any of my friends reading or listening to this Iβd be glad to have ya. Iβd like to have a conversation with several of you.
Like I said, Iβm not paranoid. I just…Iβm living in a world where if Iβm not with you Iβm against you.
And thatβs not how it is.
Iβm with my family and friends. Iβm gonna watch out for them. As a Christian I feel for everyoneβs problems and plights. But, you canβt save everybody.
Thatβs just the way the world is.
Iβm just trying to make it out here.
Thatβs it. Thatβs the post.

So this is the podcast version of this over on Anchor. Itβs free and I can put a little something out there while I get my bearings. Donβt have high expectations going in and I promise you will not be disappointed.
I caught a short video about a strange building today.
The above pic is from weburbanist.com.
From the YouTube channel The Truth Movement
The AT&T Longlines Building was originally built to house the telecommunications infrastructure for Western Union and AT&T. Almost 100 years later, the towers are still used for their original intentions as data centers for an internet services company.
Unless you look around on the internet and search for things like NSA, Titanpointe, spy hub, etc.
