Toppled Statues

Toppling statues of evil bastards is all the rage these days and recently the statue of a slave trader called Edward Colston was toppled in Bristol. I think they should have melted it down years ago to be honest. 

I topple statues myself, invisible ones that are relevant to my life. The trouble is they get re-erected. 

I use my creations and ventures as a wrecking Ball to smash the Grey Zone. I sometimes spell the colour Grey the American way "gray" but that is just for click bait (most people that read this blog are American). The grey zone is my lifestyle. It is working hard and getting by and little else. It is being a prisoner of stress and disappointment. 

I have created videos, computer games, blogs, software and burned through several franchises. But I am very patient and I keep going. One day I will smash the grey zone to pieces and it will never cast a shadow on me again. No one will know I did it because I am a modest man that has no interest in prestige. 

Dragon space Quest

With all the rioting and protests, it is easy to overlook that a private company recently delivered astronauts to the international space station. SpaceX used the dragon 2 space ship. It is a reusable rocket system. It docked with the space station and formed an air tight seal that was safe for the astronauts to move across. 

NASA wants to privatise low earth orbit missions so it can focus bigger missions like landing people on the planet Mars. If you were wondering why we haven't already had a manned mission to Mars, I would say it is more complicated with people. You see deep space is full of high energy radiation so it would cause the astronauts to die before they arrive at the planet. It is ok for robots because they are not effected by the radiation as much as people. If they were to build a interplanetary space ship, they would need to build it in space so they can make the walls thick and hard enough to deflect the radiation during the journey. 

Crouching effect

There were a lot of protests today against racism. I never would have guessed the scale of the chain reaction caused by the crouching cop Derek Chauvin. Riots and mass Covid19 infections, the unnecessary deaths of many people. 

If I were to say the police officer Derek Chauvin was racist, I would be a liar because I don't know him. I don't know if he was crouching on George's neck because he was black or if he just arrests everyone like that or perhaps a weapon was pulled on him in a previous arrest and that was messing with his head. Police officers have mental breakdowns sometimes because they deal with a lot of violence and abuse. 

It is true that there is a lot of racism about in every profession but sometimes it is not clear where it is coming from. When I was a boy I found a dried up river and poured water onto it to see the water flow, when I poured the water it didn't flow. It pooled and formed a puddle. The slope of the river was too shallow to push the water down stream, water only flowed if there was a lot of it. You see that is how society works, individual people may not be the problem. The problem may be everything as one entity. When river water flows it isn't falling to the sea it is being pushed by the water molecules behind it. 

Merging and Growing

This last bit of Spring I would say that my three main hobbies are merging together. They are all from the trunk of my hobby tree in my head. Drawing pictures, writing blogs and making videos. 

I'm walking and waiting for the ticket to the next part of the hobby tree. The happy zone, where the branches spread out. The happy zone man cave and work shop, and the time and money to play golf and go bowling. 

All those rich people say money doesn't buy happyness because they always try to indulge themselves. They buy mega yachts and super cars and helicopters. Maybe if they took their head out of their ass and helped other people they would be happy about their money. If you get a lot of money and you see it as a tool to help others then you would be happy every time you received it. 

Social distance

Once again I have missed a relative's birthday because of the 2020 lockdown spring. This time it is my nethew Ethan. 

I missed his birthday so I could avoid bringing viruses into their homes. The virus particles get into your hair and into your clothes and fall off in different places. Viruses behave like dust, they float in the air for a while and get onto everything. 

I draw more now because drawing makes he feel better about life. It is my second hobby and I am trying to merge my two hobbies together, blogging and drawing. Just like I have done on this post. 

George Floyd

It is my role as a chronicler of history to record the truth as I see it. Well. Last week I learned that a man called George Floyd was killed when a police officer crouched on his neck for over 8 minutes. It was murder by a cop in the eyes of the law and media. The incident triggered mass protests and riots. I was given the impression that the incident was linked to racism. 

What many people may not know is that George didn't commit the crime he was being arrested for. He was using a cheque that was authentic and was given to him as a gift by the bank. He didn't forge any cheques. He is just a working man like myself and he was wrongly accused of a crime. 

I think it is important to make that point because many people may think he was a criminal that was killed, he wasn't. This thing could of happened to any law abiding citizen, they could be wrongly accused of a crime and arrested in a violent way by a bad police officer. 

Human Trap

In my little world there is a place called lemon valley, a place to put thought machines that don't work or can't be made at the present time. In lemon valley there are all sorts of machines and most of them clearly won't work at all. Some of them may work. 

Some of the thought machines are people traps. They are devices that trap people without harming them. The traps would be used by police forces or in houses to stop intruders and even by the military to trap fighters that mingle amongst civilians. These machines were brought to the surface when I saw George Floyd died when a police officer crouched on his neck. I would love to supply police forces with people traps because I know that the deaths and injuries would drop worldwide. 

Sometimes police officers kill because they hate ethnic groups, other times it is by accident. A death is a death and I would love to save lives in my own benign way.
