As Paul Sees It: The Smarter I get The Less I know

Oct 2010

Welcome to my site. I edit a lot of things here. I use this blog to sort out my thoughts on things.

WHO AM I: I am a Professor At the University  of hard knocks. If you can’t learn from your own mistakes, maybe you can learn from mine.

Born July 20 1958 on Vancouver Island BC Canada. I am not atheist, not theist, not dogmatic, not smart, not anything. So who am I? I often visit a blogs About me Page first, “just to see if they person who  I am about to read is worth my time.”

Views On Health:

I rarely have to see a medical doctor, usually when I need a few stitches, after an accident.  I keep healthy with diet and exercise. I do a lot of self help. I do not like the idea of getting all cut up for Cosmetic Reasons. Once nerve endings have been severed, they are destroyed, forever. You can never change a Pickle back into a Cucumber.

Addiction:

I had my first drink of “Moscht”, A alcohol beverage made from apples.

My Grandpa introduced me to this procedure back in the early 1960′s.

Today  I  continue with the tradition of sucking back the happy juice.

My Life Highlights

I love Home Made booze, and Good Food.

I got tired of the prison that working for money put me in, when I was very young (21?)

I loved to move around and work; The best time of my life was when I got an Impaired charge, and lost my drivers licence for 3 moths. Man, did I ever get in shape. I rode the 20 km to work each and every day on my bicycle. Today I spend 20% of my income to pay for my Wheel-Chair.

I toured around Europe and North American on my Bicycle. I have ridden at least 40,000 km on tours. A full time job really puts a wrench in this type of activity.

If  I ever had the money to ride bike the whole day long, I think I might do it.

My Job:

I work on a  farm today   I guess I am a  Farm-boy.

I do this not so much for money, but because it is fun. I guess everyone needs to feel like they are doing something useful, but, I feel that farmers are the backbone of society. You stop making cars for a year or two, who cares, you put all the cops on holiday for a year, not much will happen, Give the politicians a long holiday, same old same old, but: you stop farming?? In a few days you will notice the difference. The shelves at the grocery store would empty pretty quick.  Hunger will drive people mad and crazy. Total Armageddon.  but you know that farming is a lot of hard work, and who wants to work hard. I guess I do.  Who the heck would peddle 40,000 km on a bicycle if they could just take a bus or fly in a jet? I guess I would.

I Hate CARS:

A car is just a Wheeled Chair. A chair on wheels. No effort at all is required to operate this thing. It leads to becoming unfit. Lazy and just plain old disgusted with myself. I, however am forced to sit in my “Wheel Chair” for 40 minutes each day, just to get to work. There is no way around it. Farming does not pay enough money to buy a house close to the farm. So I am forced to commute.

I am still a slave to money. Sad, I do what I love, but am forced to to what I hate to be able to do what I love.

Anyone who has a better idea should voice it. Don’t matter how stupid it sounds.

We just can’t continue to solve all our problems with Growth.

There is only so much land, and So many people, and only so much they can eat. Even If we grew more??
My Music:

I like Stringed instruments. I found that the banjo is a Drum with Strings.

I find it hard to play

I was forced into music by my mother, who liked the accordion. I never did, back then, But , I wish I had that instrument right today.. But the Rock and Roll sounded good on the radio at the time.  Smoke on the water was an easy song to play with one string.

I got into lyrics and writing text and words.  I became interested in words, more than just rhythm and clever hooks. I found that words were my new addiction. I read every day, most of it on the internet, and I am learning to write.

The pages on this blog, are basically the “Best That I can Do at the time”
