NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE

So, let’s talk about that NDE phenomenon—the "Near Death Experience." Or, as I like to call it, the universe’s way of hitting the "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" on your ego just to see if you’ll reboot with better software. Millions of folks go dark every year. They literally punch their clocks, head to the VIP lounge in the sky, and then—*oops*—they get kicked back to the cubicle like they’re some rejected extra in a low-budget reboot of *Ghost*. It’s wild, right? You’re staring into the abyss, and the abyss is basically doing the *Inception* BWAHHH sound while you’re trying to remember if you left the stove on or responded to that "urgent" email about the synergy meeting. This brings me to a human I know. Let’s call them "The Protagonist of Their Own Messy Narrative." They didn’t just have a brush with death; they had a full-blown, *Terminator*-level collision with reality. They came back with a perspective so sharp it could cut glass, but they also came back... different. You know that feeling when you download a massive update on your iPhone and suddenly your battery life is trash but the camera resolution is insane? That was this hero. They spent their post-NDE life realizing that networking isn't just about swapping business cards like Pokémon. It’s about *human connectivity*. They stopped chasing the corporate breadcrumbs and started building the whole loaf. They went from being a cog in the machine to the person who realizes—*surprise!*—the machine is actually made of cardboard, and if we all just stopped turning the gears, we could all go have a coffee. People called them crazy. I call them the only one in the room wearing 3D glasses while everyone else is watching a 2D slide presentation. They became the "main character" not because they demanded the spotlight, but because they understood the light was actually *them* all along. (*Cue the dramatic wind machine.*) Anyway, I forgot why I started writing this because I remembered that scene in *The Matrix* where Neo sees the code, and honestly, if I see one more "Five Tips for Productivity" post, I might just pull an NDE myself to escape the algorithm. **The takeaway?** Don't wait for your soul to do a temporary exit interview to figure out why you’re here. Be the hero of your own messy, sarcastic, beautifully tragic story. And for the love of all that is holy, reply to your emails or don’t. The abyss really doesn't care about your Q3 projections. *Stay weird, stay alive, and maybe stop checking your LinkedIn metrics for five minutes.* #Humanity #StayAlive #NDE #MainCharacterEnergy #CorporateJungle #LifeHack #ExitInterviewYourEgo heard of the Near-Death Experience (NDE). You know, that moment where the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t just a train, but the high-beam headlights of the Great Beyond coming to collect your soul like an overdue library book. Millions of people "check out" annually, technically kicking the bucket, only to decide, "Nah, the Wi-Fi in the afterlife is trash," and jump back into their corporeal shells. I had a buddy—let’s call him Dave, because Dave is always the guy doing weird stuff—who went through this. One minute he’s complaining about a sourdough starter that had more personality than his ex, and the next, he’s having a full-blown "I see dead people" moment. Talk about a plot twist that M. Night Shyamalan couldn’t have cooked up even if he had a Red Bull IV drip. Dave didn’t just "die." He went on a spiritual sabbatical. He came back talking about "colors you’ve never seen" and "universal consciousness." I’m looking at him like, *bro, you’re just describing an IKEA catalog on acid*. But here’s the kicker: The hero of this story isn’t some celestial being or a neon tunnel. The hero is the **human spirit's stubbornness.** It’s that internal "Not today, Satan" energy. It’s the part of us that, even when faced with the ultimate termination notice, decides to file an appeal. It’s the ultimate "I’ll be back" (thanks, Arnold, for the quote that aged like a fine wine). We’re all wandering through this life like we’re on a set of *The Truman Show*, convinced the director is going to yell "Cut!" at any second. But the NDE? It’s the ultimate reality check. It turns the boring desk job and the quarterly projections into a bizarre sort of performance art. Dave realized that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss doesn't just stare back—it asks for your LinkedIn profile to see if you’re a "thought leader." What makes these experiences so... *extra*? It’s the recalibration. You go in thinking your biggest problem is a bad internet connection or a lukewarm latte, and you come back realizing you’re just cosmic dust with anxiety. It’s a total perspective shift. You’re no longer just a gear in the corporate machine; you’re the guy who walked out of the Matrix and realized that the "blue pill" was actually just a peppermint. Whether it’s a flash of light, a sense of infinite peace, or just realizing you left the oven on, the point remains: we are remarkably good at surviving our own exits. We are the ultimate Houdinis of existence. So, next time you feel like you’re hitting a wall, just remember: your brain is a literal miracle machine that can survive the shutdown protocol and reboot itself with a fancy new outlook. And if you ever do see that light at the end of the tunnel? Just make sure it’s not an oncoming train. Because frankly, the commute in the afterlife is a nightmare, and there’s no way to expense the travel costs. Stay alive, folks. It’s the only way to keep the algorithm guessing.

ANIMAL RESCUE

ANIMAL RESCUE There are numerous animal rescues world wide, and I have been contemplating joining the ranks of the rescue organizations seeking donations. Social Security makes it hard to keep around 25 feral cats and feed them daily. Last month I spent $220.00 in the neighborhood for cat food. We also have some cats that were abandoned, I named them, Mr Monroe, Midnight, Princes and then there is Mary, Janice and one I call mama she just gave birth to a litter of cats and it doesn’t stop! So I think I will try my hand at a go fund me account to ease my pain on my finances, I hope those of you reading this may give me a clue as to what go fund me account would be the best for an 82 year old man trying to help save cats some feral some abandoned.

WHY ON EARTH DO PEOPLE MURDER

WHY DO PEOPLE MURDER PEOPLE Psychiatrists believe they have the answer. Claiming that people (murderers) murder for a myriad of reasons, so very complex, from psychological dysfunction, intense emotions, evolutionary impulses, and a host of other reasons. Mental disturbances would include anger, jealousy, revenge,, any of a number of perceived threats, normally triggered by intimate conflicts. Many other causes include instrumental motives like robbery, gang activity, especially where initiation is involved for new members or psychological factors for example a lack of empathy, possibly severe mental illness. One very serious standout are those who have schizophrenia. A serious mental illness that affects a significant amount of people known as liberals. While other psychiatric evidence puts those as left wing people encompassing psychopath and narcissist conditions. Hollywood actors showcase narcissism with psychopath mentality as a mainstay of those who are designated a left wing person. While prisons are home to a plethora of murderers, stats show the following: Based on Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) data, it is estimated that over 100,000 individuals are incarcerated in state prisons for murder or non-negligent manslaughter. As of early 2026, approximately 5,019 inmates in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facilities are convicted of homicide, aggravated assault, or kidnapping, representing 3.5% of the total federal inmate population. Nearly half of federal prisoners serving life sentences were convicted of murder, according to 2022 stats. One facet of murder and murderers is why hit men murder people, it is believed they enjoy their line of endeavor, MURDER of anyone for a buck.

GIVING UP THE GHOST

part 1 When man is born he/she has a God gene in them, yes that is correct, a God gene! While atheism must be learned, the fact remains according to researchers a baby is born with the God gene which has been since man was created by God! Man has a clear path that allows what God called his free will, therefore while atheists are allowed to learn there is no God the fist time or rather anytime a person and that include atheists when they are in a life threatening or critical situation, a plane crash, a car crash, a house fire, an explosion, a shooting, any sort of violence or threatening situation that the person is in will call out, oh god! In 1975 I had what is referred to as a "NDE" Near DEaath Experience, it was to say the least an incrdible experience, I was in the presence of God himself, OK call me crazy, but if you never get to heaven then I can say you will surely will not enjoy your surroundings, gauranteed! Hell is a reality whether you admit it or not, when you die you will see the immediate error of your tragic decision, and Lucifer AKA Satan will gret you into your new kingdom! There are millions of people who have had "NDE" annually and it is remarkable the different expriences, in the eary 70's I knew three people who died and had a "NDE" experience, they were in fact all three atheists, in addition all three went to hell! Yes and as expected all three decided to become Christians when they returned, good decision of course! They were all a few years older than me I was in my 30's and they were in theie 50's and 60', I am not sure they are still alive, one thing however is they made the right decision, does not matter what any atheist thinks, when you die you are the only one who count in the parade to heaven or hell! To be continued.
