Love.. But then again

Most men think about love as something that represents and defines a male. The truth is that love belongs to no one person,  and avoids most if we really look at the issue. It's fleeting for most people, even those in  relationships. If for a moment we drop the ball, get lazy, were tardy, or say something to embarrass or humiliate our partner, the clock starts ticking.  And be mindful of that ticking. If you take the course of rapid damage control, you're on a good path, but never repeat the error lest you become boring to boot.

Some things can work out with time, and some things can be forgiven, but never forgotten. Be wary of your words and actions if you wish for a relationship to pass the test of time. Never say the first thing that's on your mind, but the last thing that's on your mind. Hopefully it's so mundane you won't create a controversy.

You can be expressive and open, but never repeat something you heard from a friend , or from something on the television. Try to be individual in your thoughts and ovoid being the guy that spouts off the latest belief.

Never watch porn on the internet, cause the real thing is better not to have, than the unreal thing is to not have. Besides,  you'll look like a fool,which you are probably already. If your sex life isn't what you'd imagined, then move on or talk about a change. If you're doing the same thing all the time, you're as much at fault as your partner. The problem now is, how do you change it? Not easy. However, if you truly love your partner, you can clean the slate and start again. Romance is there for everyone to embrace. Say or do something funny or scary. Let your partner now it's not life altering, so they're not afraid, and enjoy the effects. Get into a little mischief and enjoy what follows.

Above all, praise your lover for the things they do for you and others. Remember that this person is not on this earth for you, but many. Enjoy them and celebrate who they are, because if they leave your life you can start reading this all over again.

To everyone who's got it and figured it out, "way to go", and keep it up..

Gas/Fines have got to go

Since I was a young man, I've been a bicycle commuter. I did it at first for economic reasons, but later because I found it invigorating and at the same time relaxing. Today, with many years on the road, I still think of the experiences I've enjoyed , and also the the friendship of people I wouldn't have met otherwise.

As the people around me complain about th price of gas ( and it's always news to me ) , I'm amused to briefly realize that I have none of there concerns regarding fuel costs. I am aware of many list items that can cause me anxiety but it's never gasoline.

I'd love to point out statistics here that prove the production of oil is completely futile in the end game, but readers can look that up themselves with the advent of the internet. What we need to do, as a species, is use the smarts we were given and look back 50 years, and then look forward 50 years.  When energy is less easily extractable,  corporations will put the cost on us. What interest should an oil company have in free and  endless energy,  like solar, tidal, or thermal? None! As long as big business has the elected peoples attention - which they will until the populace changes that - what do we think would change?

Motoring/driving has become a cash cow for most governments. Do you remember, some years ago, when the enforcement of traffic laws were in place to save lives and reduce injury?. In short, the system was about safety and deterrents, not about making money to fund the local or states/provincial governments. What we have now is a system that tolerates law breaking until the coffers are low, then, when needed, go out in force and rake in the dough with tickets and enforcement.

This Draconion shit favours the cyclist because we're hard to monitor and impossible to fine. We enjoy a level of acceptance or tolerance that motorists don't.  In short, we skirt most of the laws entailed in the motor vehicle act.

Cyclist get slack because the powers that we elect, and their underlings are of the mind we have no significance.  But beware. There is a force amassing out there that will call for a reckoning one day.  When all the autos do the right thing, and you have no revenue for misdeeds, where will your money come from?

Viva velorution!. But while that's happening, lets reduce government powers , and hold then more accountable. Not just now or then, but aways and forever.

The next time you vote locally, remember you're the government.  Not the people you elect. They are there to do what you wish...And if they don't remove them. If you have no system in place to remove them.  get one. Removing an elected official is more important than electing one. Remember that! If you have anything to contribute to the democratic process its that you can get rid of a person spouting shit and promises faster than you can vote that person in.
