Learning to Deal

Success in life come from being able to evolve through problems using mistakes as learning experiences forcing internal evolution of the soul.

Quite a grand statement from someone who is no one. But I disagree, I am a unique individual whom in midlife is an product of two children of the 60's, married alcoholics in the 70's, divorced alcoholics in the 80's, and still ranting in 2008. Survival alone until the age of adultness was, I am told by many, an accomplishment by itself.

However instead I took the time to get away, explore & acclimate with "normal" society, all be it alone and with no job skills or drivers license. Through many years of bad decisions I managed to take out loans & work to get through a bachelors degree and, with the help of angels that are my friends, a 'real job' in ten years.

Now I face tasks, like many my age, of beginning to take on the responsibility of my life
and my parents welfare. Not their life but partially their well being as they have done and still do for me separately and passively bitching about each other.

Which brings me back to 'being able to evolve through problems making mistakes into learning experiences and forcing internal evolution' to solve life's problems/hurdles/speed bumps/bad decisions. Leading me to provide the conclusion that the sucess comes from how you deal with problems.

"GrownUp" Summer Vacation

One benefit of my good job is that I get a decent amount of vacation time. However this has nothing to do with anything I say from now on.

Unfortunately in some states like Massachusetts and Arizona being an horrible person is taken to a new level. In Arizona they are the white people and in Massachusetts they are massholes. I have found when stuck around people that take toxic to a new level the really only way to survive is to return the behavior. As I do not usually act in a manner understood by these people I have intentionally allowed myself this "vacation" to spend quality time instigating karma.

Best example is a common living situation post-college a few years entrenched in student loans, car payments, rent, plus an active lifestyle living under a slumlord. the entrance tot he building is saturated in urine and reeks all afternoon as the sunshine's on it. mold growing in the filter of the air filter. holes around the faucets in the shower. no parking and a lot where cars get damaged, especially new ones. just a general all around dirty bastard.

Interesting as these are not usually smart people yet from coping people that are smart these stupid people being to think they are smart. This is actually fun as a smart person and the trick to be able to spot these people and let them beat themselves...as that is what stupid people do

BEAT THEMSELVES

Information is your greatest asset, which smart people know, and gathering this information is the key to winning. A general IQ above room temperature is helpful also. But to even relate to the situation...and be honest about what side of the above situation you are on!

Irony is the best part of life just behind KARMA.


I wish every human their full and total karma, it is the first step towards peace.

Slumlord Update...Phil Ballo

So now the time has expired when i should have a safe stove that works properly however in typical PhilBallostyle I do not.

Sadly each tenant I meet, has a similar story to share and each is horrible in it's own way.

Absolutely amazing that this behavior is allowed to continue.
