So Margaret Thatcher Died Yesterday

Add a comment: Add a Comment

I always wondered about the level of hypocrisy in people. Especially when it’s about politics. So Margaret Thatcher died yesterday and now everyone who disagreed with her policies or values jumps up and down and looses their shit. Now I don’t care that you are happy because someone has died. I don’t care because I know that karma is a bitch and will come to bite you at some later point.

‘Woe to you hypocrites’ because you jump up and down when someone whom you can’t stand dies, but you preach and teach about anti-bullying, acceptance and how everyone has value. If you want to preach on peace, you must be peace. Otherwise you are a white washed tomb that looks good on the outside but on the inside you are full of rotten bones, worms, all STDs of the planet, TB, black plague, NYC subways rats, feces and vomit. So instead of loosing your shit, straighten your shit and the first step of straightening your shit is to STFU.

Here, this hits the nail on the head. Copying from a music biz forum I’m on. Written by James Scott.

(Warning: This is a pro free market and pro NON-croony capitalism post so if you are a faint hearted crowd person sick with ‘government has all answers’ sickness, log off because you will be in a danger of heart attack. In other words, this article is not meant for pussies and people without character.)

“The former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died today aged 87.

The rules of this forum prevent me in engaging in political debate here. So if you disagree with me, by all means say so, but I cannot respond.

I am busily removing “friends” from my Facebook feed who want to celebrate the death of a sick old lady before the body is even cold. People who are always to first to attack “inappropriate” or “offensive” language, but think there is some kind of exception to basic human decency for people whose political views they don’t agree with. If you want to see the hypocrisy of the Left in action just open up Facebook or Twitter and see it for yourself.

Margaret Thatcher is hated because she represents the victory of the self, of the primacy of the individual over the collective. In not only her politics, but also in the story of her own life, she embodied the process of manifestation, of the conversion of thought to reality, that is documented in Think and Grow Rich. She knew that the power of thought could transform lives, but only if we accept and embrace responsibility for our actions. For that she was hated by those who believe that the responsibility for people’s life outcomes lies outside them, hated more because she demonstrated that position to be false again and again.

- When someone told her that women should not enter politics, she succeeded.
- When someone told her that a woman couldn’t become Prime Minister, she went ahead and did it
- When someone told her that recapturing the Falklands was impossible, she made it happen through sheer force of will despite the seemingly impossible military odds
- When someone told her that she would have to capitulate, or at least appease, the USSR, she stood firm, and won the cold war without a single concession.
- When someone told her that the unions’ chokehold on the UK couldn’t be broken, she broke it.
- When someone told her that she stood no chance of winning 3 elections on a free-market ticket, she did it anyway.

Those who have read T&GR will recognise the process at work here.

If you want a simple philosophical distinction between left and right, it is in her imfamous statement: “There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families”.

The left, whatever their particular loyalties or brand of politics, believe that the self is a social construction. Even such things as your gender identity or your political views are not a result of your biology, your psychology or your powers of reason, but are a result of your social connections to others. They believe that only by the study of the mass, and the collective, can humanity be understood. The nodes are not important, it is the connections between them and the patterns those connections form.

The right, whatever particular opinions they hold, believe the opposite. They believe that societal structures are merely the outcomes and emergent properties of actions and decisions taken by individuals. They believe that only by studying the node can you understand the network. Political decisionmaking, for the right, should concentrate on the individual as the source and end point of morality and justice.

You don’t need to guess to hard to see where I (and Tom, despite our differences) stand on this issue. The social conception of the self disenfranchises and disempowers people. Concentrating the aims of politics on the mass is not philosophically justified. Masses don’t feel pain or pleasure. Masses don’t oppress or get oppressed. Masses can’t manifest. Most importantly, masses can’t be free by definition. People can. Collectivism believes in shaping masses of people into the “correct” shape. If the relationships between people look pretty or follow a certain model, then justice is served.

What this has led to is that pretty castles are built out of corpses. By thinking about masses, you are blind to suffering. The ends start to justify the means. The feelings and suffering of individuals aren’t important. Not only is this philosophically nonsensical, it ends up justifying mass slaughter and oppression. 21m dead through Hitler, 45m dead through Mao, 60m dead through Stalin, genocides in Cambodia and Zimbabwe and untold suffering elsewhere. All in the name of making “society” structured in the way one person dictated. Capitalism has its faults, but it doesn’t have a 9 figure death toll.

Margaret thatcher stood, and in spirit still stands, in defense of the individual against those who would subsume and oppress them in the name of a “greater good”. She did this because she knew that only by unleashing and supporting the power of the individual could people manifest, make their dreams and ambition real, and have the human spirit achieve the best that it is capable of. It is what I stand for and what everyone here who wants to achieve their dreams should stand for too.

RIP.”

when you write new year’s resolutions in March…

Add a comment: Add a Comment

anyways, it’s been a while… The year 2013 is already in its 3rd month and I’ve been procrastinating, as usual.

Last December and in January I was thinking if I should write New Year’s resolutions. Many published theirs in blogs and on social media. I believe goals and resolutions are great as long as you do them wholeheartedly and with a purpose. Most of new year’s resolutions are silly and are not followed through because they are shallow, meaningless to their writer and they’re written for the sake of writing. Having said that, I am still working on my to-do list of last year…

As I reflected to 2012, here are a few things that got on my list. I believe these are ‘resolutions’ anyone creative should have on their list.

1) Steer clear of negative people who talk down your talents

2) Steer clear of fake supporters who ‘support’ you in order to get either your time or money

3) Get rid of and steer clear of time wasters

I had an impression that the most difficult part was to identify all negativity, then to confront it and then to avoid it. Or to let it go…

If you’re lucky you don’t have any 1) and 2). If not, well, you’ll need to work through it and create a positive environment. Speaking of 3) – even though I don’t take part in ‘lent’, I thought that a break from all brouhaha of media and any type of news is a good idea. I’ve not felt so creative in a very long time. Didn’t even know my mind was so polluted that I literally was thinking and living others’ lives…

Have a productive 2013! Cheers!

 

Thursday Morning Blah Blah #6: Living Caffeine Free

Add a comment: Add a Comment

How I quit caffeine…

So more than three weeks ago I decided to quit all caffeine intake. As a person who drank 3-6 cups of coffee a day going cold turkey was an event. It was an event of non-stop migraine, chills, falling asleep while typing an e-mail and staring on the wall while trying to concentrate. I also imagined a coffee mug and the smell constantly. On the first day, Monday, I thought it’s gonna be a nightmare for at least a week as I read horror stories on the Internet how some people struggled with withdrawal symptoms for up to three weeks. My imagination went wild because I have drank coffee since I was six. (By the way, for me it was just coffee that I needed to quit as I don’t drink/ eat other caffeinated drinks/ foods. For you it could be black tea, green tea, soda, energy drinks and chocolate.)

To my surprise, the headache lasted only 2 days. I still had chills and I felt weak, and unable to concentrate, but these other symptoms could be related to me landing in emergency room on Thursday with fever and abdominal pain (thus that week was no “Thursday Morning Blah Blah, if anyone noticed). Basically, looking back, I think that if I needed to rate severity of caffeine withdrawal I’d say it’s 7 out of 10. The fact that I had a fever connected to something else actually helped because if you’re sick in most cases you crave caffeine less anyways.

So what has changed now?

The biggest change is that I don’t have the need for a mandatory coffee shot every few hours to be in good mood. This obligatory coffee input has started to to annoy me and was one of the main reasons I decided to quit it.

How it used to be when I drank 6 cups a day: coffee #1 – with breakfast; coffee #2 – after breakfast; coffee #3 – approx. 90-60 mins before lunch; coffee #4 – after lunch; coffee #5 – approx. 3 hours after coffee #4; coffee #6 – c.a.4-6 hours before bed or before going out. If I had it somewhat under control, this was the 3 cups a day schedule: coffee #1 – after breakfast; coffee #2: 90-60 mins before lunch and coffee #3: within an hour after lunch.        When I had this schedule, I had a subconscious plan for the day divided in coffee cups. The excuse for a coffee cup was to motivate myself to continue pressing forwards. At the same time it was sort of a reward for hard work. The routine of making a cup of coffee was a distraction, a break. With so many coffee breaks it only resulted with a lot of wasted time.

How it is now: now I finally get things done and the plan of the day is what it is on the paper. No subconscious time division anymore. I have noticed increased productivity and increased motivation since I quit coffee. I now accomplish about 70-80% of my daily to-do list. It was 30-40% before I quit. Why not 100%? – Because I always write down more than I can manage to do as I hate goals dragging on a timeline forever. The to-do list haven’t really changed. I have pretty much the same things on my list that I had a month ago.

This one is a ridiculous one – I am a lot more punctual now. The reason for this is that I normally drank that coffee pot before leaving the house. That normally resulted in being late as I still had to brush my teeth and put on the lipstick.

I am a self crowned queen of procrastination. And I have noticed that procrastination has decreased as well. This is not surprising because overuse of caffeine contributes to adrenal gland burnout. Symptoms of adrenal gland burnout include stress, lower concentration and apathy. The root is much deeper though and it can contribute to a whole spectrum of hormonal imbalances that lead to major medical conditions. Pretty serious stuff. And god knows what’s the condition of my adrenal glands.

One of the things I was afraid was that my social life will suffer. I, as many other people, used to meet up and talk over a cup of coffee. For my surprise my social life hasn’t suffered at all. It’s funny because when you’re not addicted to caffeine you suddenly stop craving it and choosing different locations for meetups, or drinking water or herbal tea in coffee shops just seem logical.

Last but not least: I don’t have to spend money for coffee. If you consume coffee in quantities I used to and you consume only organic coffee (FYI – there are conventional coffee producers out there, selling coffee en mass, owned by big corporations, of course, who have coffee plantations in fields that were sprayed with agent orange during Vietnam war) you will know what I mean. I don’t suggest you try though.

 

Thursday Morning Blah Blah #5: Natural Disasters 101

Add a comment: Add a Comment

Yep, publishing Thursday’s article on Saturday – at least I only had an Internet blackout.

This storm was, for me, yet another example and confirmation that your destiny is in your own hands for the most part. The government does not care about you and also people don’t care. If you are f@#$ed, you are f@#$ed and nobody cares. That’s the world we’re living in.

Knowing that we’re living in a world where everybody just cares about themselves, these are the action steps you should be ready to take. 

1) The most important one IMO is to prepare mentally. If you’re ready to face utter destruction, you’ll most likely make it with or without support. Prepare for the idea that you will not have TV for a month, you will have no electricity, no water, no hot food, no phone. Prepare that friends, acquaintances and relatives might turn their back on you if you lose everything. Doesn’t always happen, but it can.

2) Prepare physically. Make sure you have survival items for at least 14 days. But not like I saw in a supermarket before hurricane Sandy – people buying stuff that must be kept refrigerated in quantities that lead me to think they have an industrial size refrigerator at home… Common sense is not so common nowadays as far as I observed.

3) If authorities say you gotta evacuate, then do so. Even if they don’t – use your common sense. Why should anyone’s tax dollars pay for your rescue if you are in a flood zone and were under a mandatory evacuation?  Puzzles me.

If you ask me, anyone who has their one and only home on a beach has no common sense. “Yeah, but it’s beautiful”, “yeah, but people like living there” and “yeah, not everyone can or wants to live in a city or away from the beach” – I heard these arguments. Yes, true, but if you do live on beach and you don’t have much money and another house, don’t complain when you’re wiped out. The fact that you had never experienced a flood or a storm doesn’t mean that you will not. And it has nothing to do with “global warming” and “climate change”. Climate change my rear end, please. It has a lot more to do with possibilities to modify the weather such as chemitrails and HAARP. Wake up and smell the coffee. By the way, this is a site I found that shows possible HAARP weather modification for the USA.

4) Stay indoors during the storm. One thing that always puzzles me is when people leave the house during a storm. What is this thing?  Always the same. People leave their homes and then get killed or injured by falling trees, branches, flying debris or get electrocuted by live power lines. If there is a storm outside you have no business to be on the street unless it’s an emergency. Really, you must walk your dog because you love it? Speaking of the couple who walked their dog and got crushed under a falling tree in Brooklyn.

5) Build decent houses. Well, this might seem silly, but from my European perspective, most homes in America are 3rd world country wooden shacks. Even expensive ones. I would never pay 1 million dollars for a wooden shack, sorry. Rarely I see a decent home, normally built by either ultra rich or by decent Europeans. See, if you have a firm, no-wood house with a decent roof, there is a lesser chance that the house will be swept away. And I will never understand how a house can have no basement. If I will ever buy a house in America, it will be custom built European style.

6) Don’t be a dick. What really can tick me off are inconsiderate arrogant people. Fine, you got a generator. And? Now nobody should be able to sleep?

Bottom line – we live in perilous times where love has grown cold in the hearts of most people. Make sure you are at least mentally prepared for the worst. As they say: “be prepared for the worst and hope for the best…”

Thursday Morning Blah-Blah #3: Vomiting on stage

Add a comment: 2 Comments

Seeing Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga vomit on stage just days apart makes me reconsider my career path as these trendsetters obviously are setting a new trend for live performances. 

Puking backstage has been around for a while so maybe in 10 years we’ll be expected to vomit on stage as part of our shows? Who knows… My heart goes out, however, to Bieber’s dancers because he vomited during the first song. So they had to dance and balance around the barf. Gaga puked in rests and went along the phrasing of “Edge of Glory”. And hid behind one of her dancers in the process. Beware, dancers!

Anyways, the fact bothers me. Fine, they’re sick and need to puke and they do it on stage. What if they got diarrhea? Are they gonna shit their pants or will they soon have a dump on stage as well? Why am I asking that anyways? The thing is that things like that you feel before they happen. If I am sick and need to puke I know it before. It’s not like I go about my business and then suddenly have to vomit and I never know before. I understand the embarrassment for a musician to excuse themselves to the audience, especially such a large one, and to go vomit backstage, but hey, I feel that it is even more disrespectful to an audience and the band/dancers to puke on stage. On the other hand, the likes of Gaga and Bieber don’t care about audiences and the audience doesn’t care to be bothered about stuff like this. And forget about the band and dancers – they’re hired for good bucks by labels and are used to psycho divas as part of the job.

If you haven’t seen it yet, here, Bieberle in action:

And here – Gaga:

Anyways, gotta go practice my vocal barfing skills a bit…

Thursday Morning Blah-Blah #2: Facebook promote

Quote

 

This is a blah blah about Mark Zuckerberg’s empire and I am an opinionated musician/ singer/ entertainer. If you want to read an article by people who hold a Master’s degree in social media and work for tech websites, then you’re in the wrong place.

Anyways, yesterday morning I saw this on my Facebook private profile as I clicked on the promote option that showed up under my brand new status update:

I knew of this feature in connection to pages and that the more I’d pay, the more people would see the status update on my page. I also knew that the page default audience reach algorithm is set to 12-16%. Yesterday, while reading a couple of articles about this new feature, I found out that the algorithm is the same for private profiles – only 12-16% of your friends will see what you post. If you want everyone to see it, promote your post. Only for 7 bucks.

Many social media gurus are super excited about this feature and the reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Not really a surprise for a European like me. The more I tune into the mentality of an average American, the more I realise it’s cut after the ”look what I got” mantra that obligates everyone to put everything in everyone else’s face and everyone has to care, supposedly. Then there are the fiscally ultra-orthodox with their “do you think it’s fair that you use Facebook for free?” Other similar questions are “you can still log onto Facebook for free, can you?” or “You can see all updates anyways, true?” On the surface it seems that you use Facebook for free. If you dig deeper, not really – they sell everyone’s private information to advertisers and thus they’ve already made a profit out of everyone’s profile. By the way, you’re worth only $1.21 to Facebook anyways. That of course doesn’t worry an average user and anyone talking “privacy” is labelled as “irrelevant” and “outdated”. Yep, you can log onto Facebook for free and see updates. But as we now know – only 12-16% of all updates plus promoted updates. So you still have to waste your time that is also money and go to profiles to make sure you’ve seen the updates you really want to see because you can’t know if Facebook is showing you their updates.

Having said that, I am more than sure that promoted posts are gonna be used on private profiles as long as there are enough narcissists and companies operating under private profiles. I know I surely will not use this feature as I think it’s kind of childish to promote private stuff with paid updates that not everyone necessarily wants to see. Maybe, well, only maaaaaaaaaaaybe, for a garage sale. Quite honestly, I don’t really care if someone whom I haven’t seen for 10 years is getting married or had a baby, sorry. And I am tired of parents posting photos of their kids and pet owners of their cats and dogs. The hard reality is that only a few people really care and for the rest all this information is like someone is taking care of an annoying tamagotchi.

If you have a business or if you’re an artist, please make a Facebook page or group, or both and post funny stuff that gets interaction and is staying up longer even if you didn’t pay for it. I know it’s work, but otherwise you risk becoming like this. If you do stuff that requires promotion it’s better to use a Facebook page anyway for these reasons and more. Or even better, collect e-mail addresses and cell phone numbers.

Thursday Morning Blah-Blah #1: Gaga’s Alleged Body Double

Add a comment: 2 Comments

It’s “my Thursday morning”… and it’s time for some speculation. Although I am posting about “Lady” Gaga, I don’t have pics of her here as I am not interested in either getting sued by the holders of the photo rights or in paying licensing fees. So get ready to click on the links, thank you.

Since last week when “Lady” Gaga performed in Amsterdam and pictures from that gig showed up on the Internet showing her with some extra 20+ pounds that she has allegedly packed on recently, the buzz is on.

While the media roar about how fat Gaga looks and how she is a bad example to kids regarding obesity and drug use (not discussed that in this article), regular folk and all sorts of experts fire back that “curvy is cool” and healthy as they then continue with the “stick insects are ugly and unhealthy” rhetoric.

I am intrigued with other things though. The rumour has it that Gaga has been using a body double. Of course, there is no “official information” regarding that because it would make her liable for pulling off a scam. If I pay $200 to go to her gig, I expect her to perform. Here is one such article containing a photo comparison and starting this rumour.

http://www.vh1.com/celebrity/2012-09-19/lady-gaga-in-amsterdam-is-this-for-real-or-are-we-smoking-something/

I’ve also read comment boards very carefully and have seen people who went to her gigs in Ireland six days before the Amsterdam gig writing, that she was in her regular shape (no extra pounds) while performing in Ireland.

Some more pics from her in Amsterdam as she greeted her fans and looking pretty much like always and then her on stage in Amsterdam:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2205886/Lady-Gaga-covers-fuller-figure-long-sleeved-white-dress-piling-30lbs.html

Given the fact that she just launched “Body Revolution” on her social networking platform for her Little Monsters, having a body double for a few gigs OR to authorise photoshopped gig pics only to create buzz makes perfect sense from a PR standpoint. This might piss off some of her fans who might be reading this, but this is one of the ways how PR for a product launch can work. If this is a publicity stunt for “Body Revolution” it’s an excellent idea – it costs no extra money (as a PR campaign can be very costly) and no extra time going to interviews and setting up the whole product launch the traditional way.

In my personal opinion Gaga looks a lot skinnier in her Switzerland gigs as far as I saw on the internet. She also looks a lot skinnier in her “Body Revolution” pics:

http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/lady-gaga-launches-a-body-revolution-and-is-a-slut#slide=53370626

And these are supposedly recent pics as she has famously become a brunette.

Either way, this is how show business typically works. It is all about pulling off something to create free advertisements and give people something to talk about. In show business most things are fabricated and displayed to match the predetermined script. And it’s easy to get away with any setup because the PR agencies and media know that fans won’t care and would never believe anything bad being said about the artist. And anyone who disagrees with the official story can be labelled as a ”hater” etc.

Body double, Photoshop, weight gain or not – one thing is clear – Gaga’s PR team might have needed to launch a new product. It smells like that if you look at that from a business perspective…

How To Waste Time Like a Pro 101 #2 – Procrastination

Add a comment: 2 Comments

The fact that I am writing about Tip #2 on this topic a month after I wrote Tip #1 shows that there is something I know about wasting time that you might not know… I’ve been putting it off day after day and finally there is sufficient pressure to nail down the very reason why it took so long

 

A very important ingredient if you want to waste your time successfully is procrastination. Procrastination will give you the quantum leap you’re looking for, it will give you the wings to fly, if you will. It’s a great way to waste your time as it gives you the opportunity to waste your time both directly and indirectly. Often you’ll be able to waste your money as well. Bottom line – when you procrastinate you can kill two three (or more) birds with one stone!

I think I have achieved the highest, Master’s Level of Procrastination… I can literally wait months until I enter people’s business card information or send them a short message, or call. If you do this you’ll need more time to accomplish the task because you’ll have to remind them who you are. And, by the way, only I can procrastinate for 18 hours while pondering a workout session. I can wake up at 6 am and plan to work out right away, get dressed and then do something else. Right up until getting started at 12 am, which is 18 hours later. YEAH!

A good example of procrastination in my life is from my times when I moved from Berlin to New York. I had a couple of bank accounts in Berlin that I needed to close. I had money in them. I only needed one account till the end of 2012, but I had four. When I lived in Berlin these accounts served their purpose, but when I left I needed just one to finish some transactions. What did I do? I let all four of them running! I logged in very recently and saw they’re all in red. See, I’ve taken out all of the money, but the fees kept rolling. As a result this is a great time (and money) waster – I have to call, e-mail, and fax information to cancel these accounts AND I have to pay for it. What is also very important – I could have been doing something else with this time I am now using to call and e-mail so I automatically procrastinate other things that I have to do.

Another great way to procrastinate is to create e-mail accounts, other online accounts and Paypal accounts and not write down the password. This can result in a great waste of time. I had about three or four Paypal accounts and I have forgotten passwords to all of them. I have also forgotten where I have written them down IF I have indeed written them down at all. I don’t use Paypal often so every time I have to use it I have to create a new account. I’ve also successfully managed not to recover two of my e-mail addresses for the exact same reason and also because I never give the right answer to recovery questions out of security concerns.

An interesting way to procrastinate is to let go of inspiration when you have to do some creative work. Just chill out and enjoy the feeling that you feel creative! You can work on it another time when inspiration is not there. So you will be wasting time because creative work takes longer without inspiration.

In short – here are a few of my tips on how to procrastinate:

  • don’t answer e-mails and phone calls right away – let the workload build up and hope that you will have to clarify additional details when you finally call/ e-mail
  • don’t cancel any memberships and accounts on time
  • don’t write down passwords and enter false answers you can’t remember to recovery questions
  • don’t work on your creative stuff when you have inspiration
In next article I will discuss the importance of being paranoid in connection to wasting your time. I don’t know when I will write this. If I don’t feel any inspiration then it might be tomorrow. Ha, maybe in a month or two…

 

 

Thursday Morning Blah-Blah #0: Introduction

Add a comment: Add a Comment

 

Man I need a day where I can post some short nonsense about celebs, scandals, hypocrites, stupidity and vain stuff. All of it from my perspective.

Nonsense can be anything and it varies from person to person as we can see from online wars on different comment boards and social media platforms. Basically I will pick any topic that enters my mind on a Thursday morning and rant about it.

Why nonsense? The whole Internet is full of nonsense so I’m just jumping on the band wagon. And it’s fun, too.

When is Thursday morning? Thursday morning is my Thursday morning. If I wake up at 5pm and write at 11pm EST on Thursday – that’s my morning.

Why a ‘SERIES’ on nonsense? The reason behind it is simple: discipline, discipline, discipline and once again – DISCIPLINE or even better – LACK OF DISCIPLINE. That’s because “spontaneous” doesn’t really work for me. I’ve been staring at one point on the wall trying to figure out how often I should blog and what would be my concept behind it. Rather than posting content irregularly when inspiration is there, I decided to create some “series” to pull my blogging act together.

I need a posting schedule as the only thing that works for me is a totalitarian regime over me… AND a totalitarian regimen with guaranteed punishment for disobedience which in this case is – post on Thursday or be a loser, who doesn’t keep her word. I obviously need to be held accountable by others and have someone stand on top of me and make me do certain things. This is how inspiration works for me: inspiration comes, I enjoy the feeling of being inspired, then I get in a “let’s chill” mode, next I find an excuse not to get right at it and as a result I procrastinate the writing process forever. Since I have nobody to boss me around, I am often having conversations arguments with myself to keep myself on track. Meanwhile I’ve discovered that I can get inspired to work creatively at any time when under pressure anyway.

How To Waste Time Like a Pro 101 #1 – Bad Romance

Add a comment: Add a Comment

If you want to waste your time, I have developed a system that helps you to waste your time effectively. I also offer a “practical how-to” examples that work – GUARANTEED! Welcome to “How To Waste Your Time Effectively 101″ tip #1 – bad romance!

 

Write songs or poems for and about your exes or crushes you still care about but who don’t care about you.

I wrote this song, for instance:

Keep in mind though, that if you want to waste your time effectively, you should make sure these people are also narcissists, egoists and self-obsessed balls of awesomeness. Be aware of writing songs or poems for your inner healing. If you do that, you will risk not wasting your time thinking about them longer than you normally should.

Guys like the one who got this song are excellent for effective time wasting. I sent him a Facebook message saying he got a song written about him and giving him the link. Of course I got no reply. It all was a long time ago, so somewhat understandable. Still I wasted my time very effectively as I just had to check Facebook about 39 times an hour! I am very upset now and was thinking all day about defriending him on Facebook. Whatever you do, don’t defriend them! You will stop wasting your time by checking Facebook and spying on them there.

Don’t write songs for the above category of exes and crushes if you are already famous or almost famous and could win a Grammy or have it played on the radio resulting in millions collected in royalties. A great example of how to not waste your time is Adele. Those songs she wrote to rid herself of her pain ended up in millions and Grammys. Also Taylor Swift is a bad example. When she wrote “Dear John” she got the revenge she needed and whole lot of publicity. Don’t do that as it distracts you from wasting your time.

Make sure you spend lots of time staring at a wall and reminiscing what you could’ve should’ve would’ve done differently. For instance, if he has fine and soft hair and he’s already balding, make sure you take your time to regret that you didn’t pull his hair while having sex. In fact, regret that you did not pull out all his hair.

That’s it for today! I hope this gave you a deeper insight on how to waste your time effectively. Please share and comment! Say yes to wisdom!

By the way, my dinner snack tonight:
