Re linking information.  I was thinking of this movie Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese.  Again the theme of ambiguity between is he crazy or is he sane?

The my story section reads for this link is a pretty sick story.  Sadly, if you asked me whether any of that sort of crap were possible years before, I'd say, unbelievable, or sounds like something written entirely for fiction, or the person were not really sane.   By the way I'd say my personal story, while much more tame, includes some of the street theater, and other crap.

Honestly, not really in a professional position to tell, whomever were running this particular blog site, where to go, and exactly what to do in these cases.  Not easy to skip out of town on a moments notice, for instance, and likely while it may be that amnesty cases are granted in the case of neighboring country to the north.  Technically though there maybe some safe havens somewhere in the States...at least, your story is quite extreme relative to mine in many ways, but then it has been always an easy thing to contend with at times.

I've found limiting social contact a big plus (but then I've kept this generally limited always)...sad that you should have to be in a position to vouch safe people that you don't know so well, but its probably a very good idea.  Generally in my experience when you see the sorts of pointed synchronicity, a lot of it while generally harmless (to me at least), but its probably a good idea when you see the behaviors going on to keep distance yourself from those sorts of perpetrators.  I should mention also to those engaged in the behavior for as long as this has been going on...really up to now, I should mention where I've seen the behavior, and I've seen it much...it belongs likely to a real class of amateurs.  :)  One because often times the amount of resources I could imagine spent in the process of creating events, and the likely dividends received, which generally are small enough.  Most synchronicity that I've seen staged are the sort of hit and run causal ones by the way...meaning they are generally fleeting ones (street theater that is organized for that moment in the day but leave the scene and don't really much effort there...likely one would gather they've been maximizing for the digital age where it were a lot easier as opposed to putting feet on the ground doing idiotic work such as this from what I can tell).  The other form of it is where they actors put themselves in positions (e.g., jobs, or possibly in the home...doesn't work so well in my home any more for em).  So if you cut off the potential dividends...yeah, may be better after all to say You Can Take This Job And Shove It....that was the 70s for you.  Finally you may make less predictable some other things, like always going out to such and such at such and such time...I can't claim that I weren't predictable in my own ways, but I can also live like a bear in his hibernation cave if need be.

The problem I think this problem is not only extended to public spheres but also private ones as well.
I've said before technology could be the primary culprit for this, if it weren't easy enough now to find social spheres revealing through social networking information about your private lives (whether accidental or not), it is much easier for anyone, even private individuals/groups to spy on one's activities and whereabouts.  The larger the number of individuals in a social context also yields greater likelihood that someone may know something about any particular intention otherwise.  A birthday party, for instance, where someone says online he so and so is having a birthday, providing some estimable calculation that someone in a given social group related to so and so, is likely to be in attendance.  Social networking is really in many ways an anathema to personal privacy, especially today where some networking sites neither provide or at least have provided privacy to posting in general.  If decades ago, the practicality and legalities aspect of private surveillance and information gathering about information were a concern, today looking people up through social networking or blog (such as this ) makes it only that much more cheap and free...or in other words, it is apparently easier then ever in most cases, to engage in surveillance.

   While in the past I believe I've mentioned the novel "The Light of Other Days", another twist on an emergent Orwellian dystopia, it points to something of another possibility concerning social evolution of our culture...that is, if we weren't there to bludgeon one another into a social conformity and subservience, we might instead enter into a phase, where we are more numbed to the social experiences of others (could care less what others think and do)...of course, this could be an asset given that it makes it harder for anyone person/government/social institutions, so forth to drive social dogmas at any given time, but that also the normative nature of culture might change with it...for instance, where people see more arbitrarily the nature of personal law.

It seems in this day and age to me, and this were wholly personal view, that at times this emerging 'Big Brother' society vacillates paradoxically between apathy and a tool for social bludgeon, then it ever has.  Don't get me wrong I don't sympathize with high paid stars of reality television (as if we need more already to peer into the supposedly private lives of others) that speak openly and publicly to the extent of their particular religious views which digress from religious to personal ones, its the often the quieter lives that are more likely hurt by surveillance/spying.  While on the one hand, that any social campaign is popular waged for the sake anti-bullying, the bullying is being waged, and in its supposed defense everything from Freedom of Speech (there again, a mega star likely to be picked up elsewhere, not likely to lose his job, his livelihood, his freedom, or generally be blacklisted?!  jailed, falsely accused ), or that political correctness were such a problem otherwise, while people literally suffer for any given view and were wholly law abiding?  And how does the problem of Big Brother relate to political correctness and freedom of speech in so far as the defense of the destruction of lives (either in attempt or otherwise), false witness, character assassination, distortions, and utter contempt for personal privacy?

Great movie worth a watch lately called 'The Secret Lives of Others'.  Set in then East Germany prior to the falling of the Berlin wall late 80s early 90ish?!  Film focuses centrally on a Stasi agent, and then playwright and his partner.  Film reminds of the practicalities that apply even where societies have been supposedly more 'closed' in nature, rarely true even, for instance, in ancient Sparta that internal/external exchanges aren't a reality.  Even the most dogmatic/patriotic are human likewise.  Given the probable statistics of information, the volume of peoples working in intelligence gathering, and all the problems that may occur, its not a coincidence that a whistle blower comes forward ensuring revelations of truth are given in time.  One just hopes its sooner rather then later.

Sorry I missed out on this whole theory, as the likes of me at times could be suggested much of the time falsely attributed to the underpinnings of why the right lean more right or excuse others for that purpose alone.  These sorts of movements remind me of why contingent polarization gravitates in this manner, that the purpose of reform economically means that necessarily the social spheres must be abiding (why in Egypt apparently the hookahs are less commonplace on the beach), but of all times one gets to hear these sorts of attitudes, never mind the lot of em' blacklisting if not engaged in social baiting or anything else that apparently goes with it, and generally mindful  to the thought that the most egregious of crap out there has little to do with consensual sex between grown adults.  What I see more suspiciously in the nature of an op-ed such as this, backwater stagnant flow as usual that runs its course ever several years, you know, the same that supposedly co opted the second Bush re election and mustered a "I tried" to change our constitution and worldly perception at that, standing room legacy then found at one time majority Republican's in charge for economic collapse.  No an Icelandic resort to this address is more like a Greek one, sadly given enough corruption, point a gun elsewhere.

As a side note: I see the usual fantastic secret police running the rounds of mall cop security in Anaheim overtly not at Disneyland or there about in general, but at a small satellite mall?!  Is that really a joke?!  :)

     Recent Fox news television Geraldo Rivera interviews Jame Wendell 'Most Accomplished Gamer' (from Kansas City...as if you really needed to know this personal bit of code and all) and the NSA international securities proponent for Game spying, discuss recent WoW and other MMO spying allegations,  neither side addresses or at least implicitly seems to dismiss/diminish the extent of claims given by Snowden documents, but nevertheless called a 'joke' albeit being potentially one of many tactic employed by spying agencies.  I'd still raise the question of 'just how saturated is the "joke" in game'?  Or much the problem that for all one could tell, they are the problem baiting to raise problems that don't really exist, and/or paid to distort statistical truths merely for self serving reasons?  Everything sounds reasonable if it weren't the job and duty of cherry picking, and then it wouldn't surprise me if there were populations saturating a given game being yet another way to get paid?!  And then big brother is there to protect us from ourselves, or one grand baby sitting/bullying job?!

Present happenings...

    Recent ideas and where generally going, or if it seems aimless, likely in a way it is with some direction.

    I hadn't imagined myself in another office environment doing something clerical by nature, but I took the opportunity to apply since this were what I did before even if I hadn't formally worked in a job like this for several years.  While I've hobbied around music and sound synthesis in terms of creations, I've wanted to take a break from this...same for programming.  Although I considered briefly...amusing myself with this possible career field...getting some sort of portable scanning device (you know supermarket handheld price check scanners), and delving into a bit of database programming (SQL) for uploading Amazon used book marketplace prices for used book marketplace salvaging...although I hadn't originally seen an article on the matter (in Slate) on this subject matter, I later found that I weren't the only one whom had this idea.  Which should amount to hopping to garage sales, thrift stores, and the like for resell opportunities.   While it seems other possibilities such as free book donations, could exist, but generally would work better if I had set up shop in more old fashioned brick and mortar confines.  Anyways, sort of studied the idea, but compared to the Slate articles author's city, mine were smaller, and it would seem even in Kansas City there collector hounds all over the place (found this to be true for LP/vinyl at least)?!  Anyways, might provide small income supplementation...Then I've managed to consider digitizing a personal library (personal use only).  Actually not as bad as thought it might be, although it might be nice to have some sort of personal scanner bot setup cheaply enough to flip the pages of a book, Amazon's created apparently flight based delivery drones, why not something like this (if it hadn't already existed on the cheap).  Adobe Acrobat Pro provides nice scanned image to portable document file conversions in batch...which would nicely take a folder of images and process theses (interpreting text, auto page rotating, and so forth) in batch, reducing leg work of creating an e book.  You can do pdf to ebook reader conversions using another program called Calibre (mentioned this in the past).  Sort of wanted to do this for music books since, tablets are now getting cheaper and larger screened, and eventually would like to be able to replace physical paper with a decent sized tablet for electronic reading of sheet music.  Also had the ambition of setting up a database for given sheet music, categorizing by key, artist, song, genre and so forth.  Mostly interested in the idea of creating random set lists of songs, and then given that over the years, tunes are buried in now fairly large sheet music stacks.  My memory isn't so keen for titles at times here.  On the upside with little scanning work experience, managed to scan in a 135 page songbook in less then an hour, and get this compiled into a rough draft pdf e book version in less then one hour (Acrobat).  I spent another hour and half or more getting pages formatted (including crops, page image re size, and so forth).  The book is a still a bit crude looking (as in light discolorations, especially difficult since today working with glossy paper seemed to force me into grey scale imaging as opposed to black and white, even with high contrast settings, and grey scale manages to leave all sorts of light tonal variations on any given  page image).  Still all of this weren't as much work as I thought it might be.   Sort of excited since I have some old out of print stuff falling apart at that the seams literally, that I'd like to have stored digitally.  As to other job/hobby/pursuit interests...not really sure where I might be going from here...
