The Mind of Spaz

Ok folks, here it is, 2012. Apparently, the world is supposed to end December 21st of this year. Maybe it’ll happen. Maybe it won’t. I know for sure that it’s going to happen SOMETIME. Maybe it’s at the end of this year, maybe it’s 40 years from now, maybe it’s 100 years from now, maybe it’s next year.

Point being, I firmly believe our modern first world society has hit its peak and has been in decline for 40 years at least. History speaks that societies end before new ones begin, and more often then not it’s a violent ending. Ours will be no different.

Ok, so the world might end. Am I dumb to be a little paranoid? Most people say yes, but pardon my french, those are the people who are going to die. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA naysayer! DIE! DIE DIE DIE!!!

Whatever. See, the thing is, being prepared for something that won’t happen is way better than not being prepared for something if it does.

So here’s the thing to think about. Think about it good. When you turn on the tap and water comes out, do you ever think about what it takes to make that happen? How about when your furnace comes on? Or when you drive somewhere in your car? Or what it takes to keep a fresh and stocked grocery store? Have you ever thought of what would happen if all those were taken away?

Most people don’t. Which is why if and when something bad happens, longer than three days, people will be totally and completely lost. When that happens, friends and neighbors will no longer be friends and neighbors, because it’ll be you and yours. That’s all that will matter.

This is why end of the world experts say one of the most important things you need to have are weapons. Because in the face of death, your neighbors will have no problem killing you over a can of spaghettios, because that can will keep them alive for another few days. This is what desperation breeds. Don’t believe me? I don’t care. It wasn’t me that said it but it makes complete logical sense. I plan to be prepared enough (I hope) that I don’t need to kill anyone over Chef Boy R Dee, but I’ll be damned if anyone’s taking my Ravioli!

The other thing is that the city is the LAST place you want to be when complete chaos erupts. It takes thousands of tonnes of food and things running into a city on a daily basis to keep it running. That’s cut off, and the city starves very quickly. Then you have a vast population stuck in a small surface area competing for meager resources. See the note above. SO. One of my favorite hobbies is interior camping. I have most of the equipment I need to set up a camp. I’ll have the weapons to get me some game and hopefully I can make a go of it.

Lastly, WATER.  Water is one of the most important considerations you can make. I wrote an article on my other website, The Truth of Water.  Click Here to read how to be prepared for water shortages.

I really don’t know everything and even if I did it’s still a crap shoot. This is why I’m reading up on the subject, and you should too.

Here’s how I sum it up. Paranoia won’t cost you too much except a bit of money and a corner of your basement for the equipment. Be prepared and know how to act and if it ever does happen, act on it. Your job, OUR job, is to survive long enough for the chaos to die down, the idiots who are going to die, die (and there will be a lot of them). Once that all happens, I firmly believe the more intelligent of us who did survive will band together in small groups, setting up small communities and letting the strengths of numbers take over to build a new life.

Anyone that wants to come with me, make sure you have a pack and your survival gear. If you’re a good looking woman between the ages of 27 and 38, you are more than welcome to share my tent.

/end paranoia!

I took my dad to Ikea to pick up a desk or whatever for his new home office. He’s 60. Apparently, 60 is when you go senile. At least for him.

Dad: Hey, see that girl standing 3 feet behind us? I bet she’s a lesbian!

Me: You realize she can hear you, right?

Dad: And you see that really really fat chick waiting in line for ice cream?

Me: The one that looks like she can bodyslam both you and me, and is also in earshot?

Dad: I bet you she’s her girlfriend!

Me: Ok old man, time to go.

Awesome.

Also, Shop at Amazon.com, ok?

I had a thought today.

I wish I was a bird.

Because then I could just fly away.

Complete freedom, soaring in the air.

Then it occurred to me.

If I was a bird, then I’d walk funny.

So I didn’t want to be a bird anymore.

Then I had another thought.

I already walk funny, so what’s the difference?

Now I want to be a bird again.

dumb things I do to myself, shameless promotion

Well, as you may or probably don’t know, I have internet OCD. I start projects and try things to see if they work. And sometimes they don’t. Usually they don’t. But I have a good feeling about this one.

One of the things that I come across quite often in my travels is the question “What kind of computer do I need? There’s so much choice what do I buy?”

And it’s true. There’s a lot of choice and often people buy computers that are so powerful they don’t use but a percentage of the power. Or worse, they buy cheap and are frustrated when their machines can’t do the things they want.

So, I went and created

Computer Choice

Basically, it’s a free service that gives you a few things:

1. A free quiz that asks you questions to help determine the best product for your needs
2. A free consulting service, fill out a form and I’ll find the best types of machines for your needs
3. A product directory showing good examples of computers in every category for every need.

And a few other things.

So, I hope anyone that reads this finds some use for the free computer consulting service. Even better, help me get the word out. Add a link to your blog, tweet it, facebook it, tell your friends about it. Please?

Thanks!
