Last Man on Earth

The time has come to make introductions. Considering that I am the author of this weblog, I recognize the obligation to take the first efforts in opening up and sharing some fragments from the "mirror" known as my past.

Being born in San Diego, California gave me a taste of sunshine at it's finest.  Despite the poverty and overwhelming lack; the misery was more of a side note than the center of focus. At that time modesty is all there was as ramen noodles and sugar sandwiches were an integral part of the diet.

Military relocation plan, destination Germany. After Deutschland the plan was a return to the home of the brave. This move was for the beautiful but rainy state of Washington. A mere ripple in time 18 years later, an individual awakes into a mindset Heaven-bent on transcendental improvement through the efforts and preparation that only a severe attitude adjustment could offer.

There was a point when I felt the vastness of my  superiority like the majority of these self importing entertainers and supposed artist.  You know them, when they declare absurd claims of being the "last real" gangster; businessman; hard-worker; type of a dying breed; etc.
Well, I refer to them as "the last man on Earth" because that is indicative of how they treat people, like there is no such other that could compare to them.  Beyond their intelligence is their ignorance, which shatters intimacy and acceptance on a personal platform.

In my life; in other chapters, the center was never to deviate from the self.  Perpetually relating all things perceived back to the only thing thought to be known; the thoughts/ego/self/persona/physical manifestation represented & defined in mental and spiritual constraints.  Where only the knowledge one commands determines the worth. But there is a saying, "You are worth as many people as the languages that you speak." which was instrumental in helping to refine my understanding of intellect and community.

Ultimately, there will be those of whatever echelon of awareness that will claim absolute grasp of information and wealth but the thing that is most important is the unknown unknowns. In other words, perception is life and if your perception is bathed in faith of self then you have the misfortune of being particularly lost within the darkness of pride. You will never know that your eyes have been closed until you finally open them. Just pray that you aren't the "last man on Earth" when you come to humility.
