As a bike messenger for Apple Courier in Washington, DC, I took a trip out to Great Falls on the mighty Potomac....

It's an incredibly beautiful formation of the rocks and river.

The white water rapids made me realize that there's even more danger in the world.




Riding the streets at breakneck
speeds is relatively risky, but there are yet other things to do that are as dangerous as all hell.
Do I need to go there? I probably do, since I got to thinking as I stared into those raging waters. I probably do, crazy as I am. As soon as I can't stand it no more, I'm taking the leap!

My new cutting edge favorite TV show announcement. A children's show, no less...

***ANIMAL JAM on Discovery Kids Channel***

You gotta check it out. I swear, it's great. Fantastic! I'm going to implore Mr.Ey to get involved producing it. It's thaat good.

Read my raving review on TV.com

Who are they? Real estate agents. But they aren't real!

These are probably computer generated, like virtual manikens. Paid models, at least. Smiling faces, yet mindless, vaporous, without souls.


Which brings us to Real Estate - the subject itself. Ah-ha! How REAL is it? Not real enough. It's fabricated from lies, dishonesty, fakery, condescension, inflation, etc.

I figured out, it's one of the biggest rip-off industries of all time! Let me explain what a RIP-OFF it is...

Mesmerized by the sights I see in this Forsaken Age



So, back to relationships!
I was looking at a selection of beautiful Russian women. I wondered if I could find a Russian wife. IS this possible? Would it be true happiness and true love most of all?

I found this on craigslist.org during my research:

"I use craigslist alot but never thought to look in the Russian Section much less the personals. I must admit I was not surprised by the amount of Men listing ads looking for Russian woman however what surprised me after reading some of the ads is what little knowledge the men here have concerning finding a Russian wife.
First I will explain who I am. I am the owner of one of the largest (if not the largest) sites online for men to meet Russian Woman. I have been in this business for many years and have visited the Former Soviet Union over 50 times.

I am not going into detail about my site. I am not here to promote me or my business. My business is known and does not need for me to solicit it. However I have come here to offer some much needed advice to the many men I have seen posting listings here on craigslist.

First many of you must come to forget the Myth's around Russian Woman.
You must forget the term "Mail Order Bride" and realize that this was a term made long before the internet when men who wanted to meet Russian woman simply ordered a catalog of woman seeking husbands abroad. There was not other way to see the woman's profiles or photo's without it.
However this term even today makes many men think you can just go and pick a girl from her profile and she will become your wife if you pay the fee. This is so far from the truth.
Secondly Russian woman are not looking for a free pass to the USA. Nor are looking to Marry just to come to the USA. So throwing in your ad that you can help bring them to the USA is more insulting then anything else.

But lets get to the hard cold facts and realities.
98% of Russian people do not have computers. Much less the few times they manage access to one would ever know about craigslist. The odds of you having an honest Russian woman write to you through craigslist is a million to one. 99.9% of the time if you receive a reply to your ad it will be from a scammer and they person talking to you is not even a woman or much less a Russian woman.
Things to watch out for.
Long letters
Letters that never answer your questions
Letters containing the words "LOVE", "MISSED YOU", CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU" etc etc...
If the lady apears to be falling in love you are being scammed.
If you are asked for money in any way (For travel, phone calls, english lessons, for internet costs, ANYTHING) you are talking to a scammer.

Real Russian woman do not ask for money. If your lady says she needs help with money to come and visit you here is the USA RUN!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know the odds of a Russian woman getting a VISA to the USA?????????
Lets just say it is almost impossible. Secondly any lady who needs to borrow money for her trip is definetly one who would be turned down for a visa. USA only gives visa's to those who have money. Own property, etc etc. The US wants to know she has too much to loose if she did not return home. This gives the US government the security she will return home from her trip. Guess what 99.9% of Russian woman do not meet the conditions to get any type of visa to USA.

These are the reasons marriage agencies are so popular. They have computers and the means for ladies to meet men.
I personally work with over 500 marriage agencies throughout the FSU. These agencies use my website to list their ladies to write to foreign men.
What I can also tell you is that the men searching for Russian Wives out numbers the ladies ten to one. These ladies have their choice of men. I know several ladies personally who have been proposed to over 500 times each....

These ladies are looking for love. No different then American Woman. They are not desperate. They are not trying to leave their country (only very small few in certain areas of russia such as siberia and so forth just want to leave however these woman never have access to computer so finding them is basically not going to happen)
You will have to visit them in person. Sometimes making several trips and staying for long time periods. Before she is comfortable with marriage. Also many have change of heart when it comes to them realizing they will have to leave their home and families. The bottom line is the only real relationships and marriages that come out of this is those who are truly in love.
99% of men that go on this quest do so and fail. Never finding a bride. They do so because they do not have the proper knowledge. They do so because they believed myth's and not the reality. These woman have countless men after them. Then they also still have the local men after them.

If you do not have the means to travel to the FSU and visit a lady in person. You are wasting your time. You cannot bring her here first. If you do not have twenty grand on hand you are waisting your time. This is the average cost of finding a Russian wife and bringing her to the USA. This covers communication, travel, visa expenses etc...
If you do not make a good income, own a home (own not rent) have health insurance, own a car, money in the bank, once again you are wasting your time. Without the following, even if you did go and visit the lady in person. the US will not aprove a K-1 visa (Fiance visa) unless you meet all their requirments that proves you can support her when she comes to the US.
This is not an easy road to take. Much less an easy one when you have no knowledge.
Also learn about Russian woman. Today they are a free society. Most woman int their twenty's there now grew up being free. This means that all those myths you have about Russian woman are not true. Most ladies in their twenty's are no different then American woman. They enjoy the attention of many men. They write to many men. They have men visiting them in person all the time. They are subject to change their minds about marriage. They are subject to have boyfriends locally. You may think you are the only one she writes but the truth is you are one of a hundred. If you are forty and she is twenty do not even think the marriage will work. They are more open to age difference however these marriages do not work. Russian woman become Americanized real fast. If she is twenty and living here. She will want to go out. She will meet guys her age, who trust me she will find to be more attractive then you and she will be gone.
I have seen far to many men go on this quest for a Russian wife just for these reasons. You want a trophy wife half your age. You have sex on your mind more then anything and not looking for a life partner. To those men you will fail and I personally feel you deserve what ever happens to you. I have seen far to many of you. If you are one looking for Russian wife because you want someone to control or take care of you. Those men will also fail. You too also deserve anything that happens to you. If you have intentions of treating a lady any different then you would an American Woman then there is no need for you to even look. Russian woman want to be an equal. Not a servant or a sex slave to you. If this is your intentions you will fail. But those who are really looking for love. I wish you the best. But learn the facts. Learn about Russian woman first. be prepared to go to Russia, or Ukraine. One guy here did give great advice. If you want to meet Russian woman then go visit their country.
If you cannot do this or do not have the means to do this. Then let the idea go and start dating American Woman again.
But I will tell you. You will have to visit her. US wants photo's of the two of you together before the will grant any K-1 vsia for her to come here.
Meetin Russian woman is no different then meeting American woman. There will be the whle dating process. This is not pick a face from a catalog and having her delivered to your front door."

That was the whole post. So now I realize how complicated this globla dating thing is.

Who is this? It's Mr.Electric Salesman...

Electricity is what makes the machines work. Especially, electronics. It's energy, power. But why is it wired in from everywhere, who knows where? Why have a gigantic, gnarly mess of powerlines sprawling all over the damn place? It's a little bit completely inefficient, doncha think?

Why have all that, when you can have a locally-based electric generating device and power everything you need! (we have those in the future and we love it)

The reasons for the mess of the 21st Century:

1. Planned obsolescence
2. Greed of the utility companies (they are an establishment institution)
3. Collusion between the power companies and the manufacturers of electric-hungry machines
4. Just plain stupidity on the part of all those fiddling with electricity in any way, from inventors to meter readers to municipal governments... all the way up to the federal agencies.
   

Stay tuned for more info on how to solve this problem.

What it's like... BEING LOST

I'm lost, which translates as, You're lost too.

I'm trying to wake you up by letting you know my situation, which is your situation too.

We're all stuck wandering in this World Wide Web wasteland. I mean, you're here reading this, aren't you?

Allow me to bring to your awareness - THIS is a primitive technology that destroys so much of your fleeting life... yet replaces it with a mesmerizing new experience. That's why it goes unnoticed. Something is taken away and replaced with a blinding light - an electronic glare that blinds us.

I'm not saying all this to try to dumb you down, nor to try to take you away from technology... I'm saying this because we're cut out for much, much more than what we're getting. The problem is that we think we're making progress, we think technology is constantly changing and therefore advancing. Yet the plain truth is that it AIN'T! It's stagnating, all that changes is on a superficial level and planned obsolescence rules the day. We have become addicted to bland, deadening experiences of culture. It's time to find our way out of this sick cycle. Let's commit to this.

Now all you have to do is jump back to another website to keep looking for whatever you're looking for and --- periodically come back to check in with my blog. [we're not going to find our way out immediately, it's gonna take a few years at least]

MySpace member looking for relationship

I want to know about relationships and find out about love here in the 21st century. You know, I feel so far away from the one I should be with... where is she? I can't stand this long-distance-problem.

This profile on MySpace caught my attention. What she said was very cool:

About me: READ THIS FIRST!!! If you don't live near me, and you ask me to be on your friends list, you will be deleted. Not only because you didn't bother to read my profile, but because it's not practical. I don't believe in long distance relationships. Most of you just want a hot chick on your friends list so you can look good. That ain't me. I only have friends I cherish, and see face to face. I am honest, kind, and love animals (both 4 legged and two). I can be loyal and true and if you work with me I will always work with you. I don't take on friends lightly, but when you do become my friend, it will be for life. I don't care what the problem that comes up, if you are willing to work on it, then so will I. I have an Irish temper, but always forgive later on. I don't hold grudges. And I don't like people who do, because they are friends one day, and not the next. True blue people don't do that to others.

Who I'd like to meet: I see a lot of hipster poser types on here who have the right look and right tats. Yuck. I want a real guy. Not some guy trying so hard to be different he looks like every other guy trying to be different which makes him look like any other. I just want a genuine man who can make me laugh and is always willing to be there. I want a man who means it when he says he loves me. Love is forever. Not just during good weather.

So, she got me to thinking and I wrote to her. What do you think will come of it? Will we type out interesting conversations? Will we have virtual intercourse? Will we feel each other through the keypads, clickety-clack, how I adore it when you chatter that way!

Or will we meet in real life? Does that really happen? I feel like it's something we only discuss in cyberspace and it never can actually occur. As if life is never as good as the imagination!

Totally lost

Where am I? Can you help me?
I am totally lost, here in cyberspace. What a concept!
No I'm not new to it anymore. It's been a long time, but I'm getting less and less used to it. Does that make any sense?



Lost is what I am. In your Forsaken Age! What is all this chaos? I can hardly keep a focus.
And the primitive tools are driving me crazy. What the fuck is this keyboard and little box screen... and the mouse. What's all this? There is no ergonometric design.

I'm not really complaining, am I? I'm just bringing some things to your attention. I'll never get used to this strange experience.

I want to go home to where I come from. My only purpose along the way is to take you with me. Come with me, join me. I need your help, ok.

Speaking of relationships...

My essay about relationships is coming, but for now here's my own personal experience with it.


I had a relationship that was very strange, it turned out really terrible...just awful.


You can see these pics of the woman I was involved with. Her name's Veronica Taylor. Run away if you see her. She is bad news. Thank God, I'm not with her anymore!



I really shouldn't be so mean, but it was rough with her! But she's really hot... she's beautiful, dont you think? It taught me something - Evil can be lurking in pretty packages.

MUSIC preferences...

at a really neat website...............................>

TELEVISION preferences...

I have a TV.com webpage, where I give my my opinion of what's worth watching.

Peter Appleseed on TV.com...................>

First topic is about relationships!

Humans are social animals, we have heard many times. But let's just focus on "social" - humans are social.
There are quantity levels. First level is: One, I am one and you are one, that's individuality. A relationship within the one is studied through Psychology.


Now when one gets together with one, thats the second level - we are talking about relationships. This relationship is studied by Psychology and Sociology.

Especially Sociology when we go beyond two and get into the group of ever larger numbers...

But we don't need to deal with the scientific categories, this blog is interdisciplinary in approach. Plain talk tells us that relationships are about what a person longs for in the soul. We are struggling with loneliness.

Never fear, help is on its way. But whenever we are really getting into this relationship phase of life, we need to do two things simultaneously. And we need to do them at the same time! (that's one of Peter Appleseed's half-jokes)

First thing is to know why you are looking for someone else in your life, what are you missing, who are you? Know yourself and know who you aren't.

The second thing is to know who you're looking for - have a clear picture of their characteristics and personality.

If you do only one of these things, relationship cannot be successful. Both processes have to be going on before a successful relationship can happen.

Controversial, interesting, useful!

That's what this blog is about. You don't want to waste your time - so I will make it worth your while.

It will be USEFUL. I will write, articulate and render the language efficiently. It will also be interesting because of the subjects addressed. Stuff you really want to know about.

And most of all controversy - it will grab your attention! You will find it easy to talk about with all your friends and whomever you meet. You just have to find out what they think of such radical tidings.

Since we are Lost in Virtual Reality, let's explore together and find our way.

Peter Appleseed is in the house.
