SPARRING PARTNERS

SPARRING PARTNERS

Throughout my life time, I have never lacked opportunities to gather around me, a colorful assortment of  acquaintances. However there are a handful of them, who have instantly become even more than friends. These are my 'sparring partners' and we are perpetually 'sharpening' each other.
Sexual orientation, race, age, religion and social standing, play no role in the mutual delight we find in each other, as we are continuously outwitting each other and raising the bar.

VIRTUAL SHOPPING - DREADED DOOMSDAY



VIRTUAL SHOPPING

Nothing reminds one more of the futility of life, than the moment when you realize your precious time has been wasted on the internet, and you have been hoarding tempting 'visual riches' which are offered for free.
 
Notwithstanding the enormous capacity of external hard drives, eventually everything will reach saturation point.
 
Unless regularly deleted or distributed, it becomes stagnant or it malfunctions and becomes entirely redundant.
 
Every single thing has a 'sell-by date'. 

The larger the capacity of the 'container' or space, the longer you are lulled into endless saving, hoarding, preserving, up-loading of items, whilst on your 'virtual shopping' sprees, eagerly collecting all the free treasures available on the Internet..... 
However, when 'dreaded doomsday' unexpectedly arrives and full capacity is reached, you will spend the exact amount of time in 'un-managing' what you initially imagined was vitally important and precious, as the evidence of your precious time vanishes into the ether.
 
To remedy this hoarding disease, we should perhaps keep in mind, an image of a monkey or chipmunk, who keep on stuffing their mouths with food when they are confronted with abundance, long after their hunger has been satisfied.

OBSTREPEROUS - G*TVOL


OBSTREPEROUS -G*TVOL

'My intention is to DECREASE the capacity of my 'online gadgets' and thereby INCREASE my physical and productive capacity and peace of mind.
I am totally weary of being kept 'busy' with irrelevancies and having to receive and receive and then delete and delete only to receive and receive.... never-ending....
Whats-app is a monster that ties it's victims to a treadmill. My original intention was to reserve it for family and emergency apps only. It is not free and I refuse to work to enslave myself even further.
Time is the most precious commodity I have.
How strange that the 2 people who refuse to go onto FB (where I can manage and choose and archive in my own time) are the 2 who habitually photo-bomb me on whats-app and then demand interaction if I don't reply immediately.
But now I've reached saturation point and the stage of being obstreperous.
Watching the incessant torrential rain in Tampa yesterday and the way it was described as 'tenderizing' or softening of the ground, for the eventual and inevitable cataclysmic extraction that would follow, is exactly the way I feel now. Thank you IRMA!'

GLUT

GLUT
My father was a successful business man. Although he was not a learned man, he was something far better... he was a wise man.  
He always said that market forces should determine the price of commodities. When there is scarcity, the price must go up and when there is a glut, the price should plummet.
Evidently the increasing problems caused by overpopulation, have now also reduced the value of Man, as we clearly see the reckless and insensitive choices made and actions taken by politicians, which gives one the distinct feeling, that due to their sheer abundance, humans have become dispensable.
