Introduction I have experimented with polyphaisc, and modified sleep patterns for years. Am interested in structuring that. The longest I’ve stayed up consistently was 85 hours in October 2009. I was doing something quasi-dangerous so that necessitated focus which kept me alert, which kept me up. But I usually just stay up and then crash without much structure. The uber or everyman sleep cycles sound very appealing. Thus, the blogging of the sleep cycles…. How I Got Started I first got my preliminary spark of interest in altering sleep patterns [...]
lifeScribe™ journal
LifeScribing™ is a massively essential technique for success. Posts in this category provide examples of entries of how to do the LifeScribe system. It’s easy to observe the cognitive changes that have occurred in the half dozen years since John started the LifeScribe system. LifeScribing lies at the crux of sea change from stuttered “occasional victory” to experiencing nonstop success, productivity, and victory upward-moving patterns.

Osama’s Body
Strange they dumped Osama Bin Laden’s body in the ocean. They could’ve burned it; I don’t think burial would have been proper since his death was so victorious and earth burial usually connotes preservation. I mean I was just reading about different forms of death-related grief and the (mangificent) book indireclty mentioned that sometimes death can be a relief. The very next day, Osama dies and the entire world rejoices. Interesting timing. I didn’t even know anyone who died in the Twin Towers and the event seriously effected me. I [...]
Saturday Photo Journal – 2011, March 26 – Field Work, Tractor Auction, Real Estate House-Gandering
Yeah this is technically a week later it was last last saturday, but here’s that photo journal. I hadn’t seen the dog , nor mom for awhile, so it was good to see them. Field Work and Tractor Auction Didn’t do as much fieldworkthis weekend. Twas a wee bit chilly. I did jump across Cleveland to see hundreds of cars,, tractors, and people all peppered and sprinkled around the Clark field for this wild Tractor Auction. Yep, it sounds goofy but it was serious stuff. The auctioneer was incredibly-top notch [...]
The Kitten Anthologies: Beautiful and Awesome things I’ve Learned (and am Slowly Learning) From my Awesome Kittens.
Cat Professors “On Cats” Stay. The word “Stay”, apparently now having been completely rewritten to be synonymous with phrases like: “Go”, “Disregard me!”, or “Pretend that I’m invisible and do what you’re doing!” (actually I looked up “Stay” in the Cat dictionary and,indeed sure enough, the word isn’t even listed), is met with ridicule, mockery, and laughter. Seeing me point and say “Stay” is likely one of their most jubilant forms of amusement. (Note: but their blatant 100% disregard of commands is secretly one of my most jubilant forms of [...]
Amusing Sunday Round-Up of Links: Gold, Moustache, Atheists!
The floods in Australia prove to be auspicious as the water-rush sparked a gold rush with panners raking in as much as $2,500/day! That’s one happy gold-panner. Also, Although there exists zero competition in this specific genre of musical limerick-ness, here’s a great “Moustache Song”! Shakespeare, Errol Flynn, Klein, Einstein, and Mario are quality! Finally, the first simultaneous public appearance of Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. This will be an epic (and unfortunately sold-out) atheist, clear-thinking event at Oxford on April 12, 2011! I had a ticket to see Dawkins [...]
The Joys of Life (according to myself a dozen years ago)!
I just found this rummaging through an old drawer of room in which I spend some of my fondest childhood summers in Michigan. It was a valentine’s card from my dad to me. I must’ve been about 11? (12? 13? Hopefully not 14 or older!) judging by my writing. What’s funny is This list was for me! I was the recipient of the card and then kind of in the margin I guess I simply just jotted down my little checklist “Joys of Life” List Joys of Life 1. Eating Butter [...]
Michigan Field Work Photo Journal Day & NLP Health Baseline
Okay, today rocked and was really awesome and exciting. There was some rubbish in Libya but that, being man-made rubbish brewhaha doesn’t interest me. The tsunami did and does interest me greatly; and still does, but that all aside, I loved doing some productive field work in my dad’s field. The evening before i got a great sunset And waited for dad. Here we are checking out a flock of encircling, then merging, and then finally migrating Sand Hill Crane (supposedly that was the species): [...]
Cigs to Be Banned from Sale in England!
This England regulation on cigarettes will be saving one lung at at time! “Cigarettes will disappear under the tobacconist’s counter from next year in England under new measures announced on Wednesday. Only temporary displays in “certain limited circumstances” will be allowed under the plans unveiled by the Department of Health. The regulations will come into force for large stores in April next year and three years later for all other shops.” From abc.net.au The banning of cigs in bars was huge. That’s pretty widespread everywhere now, but banning the [...]
The Kindle 2 is less Functional than a Doorstop
I can’t bloody stand the Kindle 2!! It’s a piece of Shit!!!! It’s bloody awful!! White (shows dirt), CLUNKY AS HECK, and the hardware interface?? Obscene, 2-year-old toys have more complex interfaces. The buttons on the kindle 2 are just heinously dumb. I absolutely can’t stand the 2 also because of it’s clunky size. That said, that’s Hardware. Software is a different story. I had kindle 2 loaded on iphone and frickin’ LOVED it. But note the huge hardware differences, same software but hardware (clunky, white, obtuse, 2-year-old clunky button, [...]
Great French, Aussie, & British Proverbs
As the aussies say: “Good on ya, mate!” or proverbially ”The more you know, the less you need.” – Aboriginal Aussie Proverb. As the French say: “Bonsoir, tres bon, monsieur.” or proverbially “On ne change pas un équipe qui gagne.” (One does not change a winning team) and”Vaut mieux prévenir que guérir” (It is better to prevent than to heal) Trés trés bon! Other fantastic French proverbs. And as the Brits say: “This page is like taking a butcher at my loaf, my good china!” (Well…some brits might say that, at least XD) or proverbially ”The [...]
The Insipid Patterns Found in Every News Report
Celebrity Gossip. News is ridiculously idiotic and pathetically trivial gossip about that new haircut or odd outfit of some idiotic dolt celebrity, and most of this “gossip” is largely fabricated by the media. Economics. Or that throng of people rioting because they don’t like the insurance benefits or pay rate of retirement age of their job, causing other people to be impacted by that strike. Politics. Or some irksome and too-powerful political people involved in some scandal. Natural Disaster. Or your occasional typhoon, monsoon, earthquake, tsunami, fire, or hurricane natural [...]
Pre-Boarding Frisk: New TSA Procedures Makes America Out to Be Frightened and Scared
Americans don’t like being felt up as a procedural requisite to board a frickin’ airplane. This disapproving preference is pretty understandable (and would frankly be of concern if it did not exist). It’s pretty obvious given how outrageously invasive (bordering — or crossing that border on occasions — sexual assualt) TSA has gotten that the Transportation and Security Authority is no longer protecting transportation security, but is compensating for American insecurity. TSA is no longer operating at such paranoid levels becaue of 9/11. 9/11 will not and should not ever [...]
Trigger Words: Dissecting the Subjective Meaning of Diction
I just had a coaching session as part of my certification. I didn’t mind the client; he was really upbeat and had a decent structure. Strangely, the few times where there were telecommunicatio ndiffucltes and he couldnt’ understand a word I was saying or I couldn’t understand a few words he was saying THAT telecommunicaiton difficulty turned out to be a fantastic anecdote! I was talking about Britain. I mentioned how I had had the tendency of looking at “places” (different geographical locations, cities, countries, or local places) as solutions. [...]
Maniacal Three Year-Old over the Decapitated Chicken
While getting my certification I joined some coaches in a discussion on the concept of “action”. The gist of the brainstorming was positive benefits of action or how action is taken at times of desperation or fear and ultimately leads to something more or less good. I had the exact opposite relationship with action. I described how I had done an enormous amount of things and taken tons of action at times impulsively, at times recklessly, at times where I was spot on, but more so when I thought I [...]
The Surprising Large Picture of What and Whom You Read!
Bloody hell I can’t wait until Derren Brown’s next book. Kindle version (I don’t buy paper-based books anymore…long story but a good one — saves trees, saves space, saves storage room ,saves shipping costs, easier to organize, etc) comes out oct. 14. Seems like ages away!! I listen and relisten to the audio version (and have thoroughly read nad hey! may reread! good idea) his Tricks of hte Mind. witty, funny as heck, but most importantlyt insightful. I developed my frickin’ “spiritual scientific level of life” (atheism) from reading that [...]
Lobster and Cow-dung
See, there exist thousands of books and platitudes and ideas out there fore how to “Get what you want”, but you can barely find any material detailing how to “Exclude what you don’t want”. I’ve read hundreds of books that talk about having your personal esteem aligned means things you want get drawn to you, naturally. The Law of Attraction. Fine and dandy, but what do you do when things and people you do not want get drawn to you?! If you didn’t exclude what you don’t want but had [...]
The Three Strata and Awesomeness of Science
Feynman QUOTES!! He said, “You see, I’m a stenotypist, and I type everything that is said here. Now, when the other fellas talk, I type what they say, but I don’t understand what they’re saying. But every time you get up to ask a question or to say something, I understand exactly what you mean–what the question is, and what you’re sayi ng–so I thought you can’t be a professor!” Notice how everyone else, every understandable person at the conference was incomprehensible to the stenotypist and that they are not [...]
Bleh….About 4 hours finally succeeding in getting cross-OS/application platform syncing cal/mail data Chanlder is mehand maybe winlive.
Triple-Boot OS, Syncing Archived Mail.App, Emails, and Calendars from Different Platforms I just wanted to share this bit of tech uploading/syncing bit of utter craziness partly for my own records, so I remember how I set this up, given that it’s so complex, and for anyone else attempted such a technological, mult-operating system juggling act. First off, I’m working with Linux Mint, Winows 7 64-bit, and Mac OS 10.6.3. I’m migrating away from the Mac OS (because it’s a waste of time, did very little constructive, and might be okay [...]
Moving Away From What Don’t Want, Towards What Want.
Here’s the Translations of the fields of study that I eliminated to their present and future and these may likely slightly fluctuate but meh. I’ve evolved my past 5 studies to more uplifting, validating, clarifying studies. The transduction are as follows: Psychology —> Video Games! Simply the opposite of psychology. Instead of imprisoning one self with self-dialogue “snares” , actually just doing things in a game or real world. Escaping prison of mind. This one’s complex and I fully don’t understand it honestly, but it’s something along the lines of [...]
2009 Road-Trip (Somewhat of a Sequel to 2006 but this was Graduating myself from Car)
CRAZY Journal September30 I sprinted around a ton and bought icecream pops and spent some of day moving out belongings and had walkthrough. October 1 I moved out much of my stuff from the apartment. 5 Car loads and moved them into the storage shelter. I moved out the last bits of stuff (some bags, vacuum, and a lamp). It felt great to move out of there! But I couldn’t find a place to stay so just kept driving north, possibly thinking about going to Vancouver, but honestly have little [...]
Euthanasia, Lost cats, Epic Sandstorn news in Good ol Aus, UK Treasure Find, and Anti-Diet
I think this WAS a step backward in the ruling. In the usa it’s the other unhealthy extreme, you touch someone the wrong way and you’re jailed for 50 years. in australia, police are running around naked and euthanasia, if you want to off yourself, that’s apparently legally “okay” (which it really isn’t). I think britain and europe strikes a fine healthy balance between these two unhealthy extremes, but if I had to choose one of the unpleasant ones, I’d choose the australian over-liberality instead of the usa dictatorship ubiquitous [...]
Parkour!
— September 12, 2009 — 3:49 AM DISCOVERED PARKOUR. LOOKS Sooooooooooooo RAd. Agility, Gymnatisc, alacrity, intelligence, obstacle overcoming, Running RAD RAD RAD!!!!!! French terminology. bRiLLIANt. It’s agility. ALL my favorite video games. prince of persia all the games are like free running and parkour. The French terminolgy is brilliant. this is an intelligent discipline. It requires TREMENDOUS finesse. It’s fun, it requires massive planning and problem solving. This would be GREAT something to train for. Training “for women” is REALLY gay, retarded, and falalcious (because you’ll end up a pissed [...]
Electric Agenda: The Equation for Taking Ownership of Your Time
(this needs serious work organizing but the Electric Agenda: Reclaiming Ownership of your Temporality is DEFINITELY PRINCIPLE that I MUST ABIDE BY!!!!! YES!!!) I recently saw the Fantastic, utterly incredible movie In Bruges. It was incredible because of the Irish component, great acting, fantastic direction from McDonough, Ferrel was A+ and his exchange with Gleeson (all three Irish dudes, mind you) was beautiful and humorous rapport)….BUT but but! But the most prominently cool and awesome part of the the movie was it’s seriousnesss and incredible depth! That movie was deep! [...]
I loathe self-help books
I think I’m interested in being mindful about reading, what I’d want to read, reading science reference books, and questioning the nature of reading before starting another book for a very long time. Reading books is massively painful for me. People say “you have to keep learning”. I agree, but also greatly disagree. You must keep learning and APPLY that learing. I just spent over a hundred hours of my life reading 3 different NLP books and they all basically communicated the same information. Most people in the world aren’t [...]
