Tactics, tactiles, tact, and tiles.

Good morning. I bet you I am up earlier then you all. All you crazy kids probably did something last night due to it being friday. I have to work this morning. So my friday was spent conversing, reading, and listening to talk radio. I was learning about the Mayans They were way ahead of there years. Apperently they found some sort of machinery that is thousands and thousands of years old that removes the minerals from the soil that make up gold, and it creates it for them. Which bashes the theory that the Ananocky came from another planet to use humans as slaves for mining for gold. They didn't need us for that. I still think they just taught us things we didn't know. Which is why I believe the Mayans were so advanced. They had extra terrestrial knowlege. If you don't believe in other life forms being out there. I am going to tell you right now, I think you are a fucking idiot. Millions of sightings every year in the States alone. We convict people of murder based on one eye witness. Wouldn't you based on millions? They exist. I really hope in my lifetime that I see a UFO.

Or that I have one of those experiences where the "Greys" or the "Lizard People" show up through my windown in an orb that glows blue. Maybe take me into the future. One of the theories by a lot of ufologists is that these life forms are us from the future. We have just evolved a lot. That they are travelling back trying to prevent some catastrophe that is going to happen in the not to distant future. I had a conversation yesterday about manipulation with Lauren. It came up I think when I said "I am a manipulative fuck". She told me that makes her wary. Of course I am fine with that. You should be wary anyways. It isn't like people have proven to be the most trustworthy species on the planet. Haha. No one is going to fuck you worse then your own species. Anyways we got into a conversation about it. I was telling her how a lot of people use manipulation to hide what they are ashamed of. I told her I use it to get from Point A. to Point B. She told me she realized she was being open and honest with me. I was frank and said I had manipulated the conversation in that direction.

This is why. I don't know her very well. I hate the period of time when you barely know someone of when you have a bunch of meaningless bullshit small talk. I just want to get right into really knowing what makes the person, to find out off of the bat if they are interesting at all or just a waste of my time. The seemingly long transition to get to that point bores the fuck out of me. I use manipulation as a short cut to get past what people might not be comfortable with if they realized it. But if they don't realize it, then they usually open up without really knowing. In the end hopefully don't mind. So as you see, manipulation can be a useful tool to dodge all the pointless little shit that you are supposed to jump through when first getting to know someone. Generally I am open about my manipulation. It is something I consciously do. It is back in the day when I was sub-cosciously doing it to hide what I was ashamed of that it was bad. But I am aware of it. I also am pretty open about it. Obviously when I tell her "I am a manipulative fuck" I am being pretty honest about it.

Plus I like people to have a little insight of where I am coming from. Not just recoil in fear just because manipulation was said and I am a male. So that must make me dangerous etc. Today is my Friday. When I am done work today, I have tomorrow off. Then work the next seven days in a row. Hopefully get a really good sleep in somewhere between now and then. I need it. But not enough to sleep in. I have been loving these quiet early mornings. Feels like the world is still sleeping. So It is my playground at the moment. I can go sit nude out on the balcony. And I do. It is rediculous how many months of warm weather we get and how very little time is spent outside nude by most people. Trust me, you are missing out. Clothes entrap extra heat. Feeling the breeze on every hair folicle kicks ass. Is my blog getting boring? Not that anyone told me it has. I am just curious if it is so and am giving you the opportunity to say so if it is. So let me know. I am too balanced and settled for excitement maybe. Though I guess no matter what my life holds, my head I generally find to be a pretty exciting adventure. One that I try and share with all of you. I am not the best at translating my inner most struggles, conflicts, ideas, and other things. But that will come with practice. Anyways, I am going to wrap this up for the day. Love you all. Cheers!

manipulation just has negative connotations; of course, it isn't always used negatively.

Manipulation definately does not have all negative connotations. I have seen and done many positive things with it. It is an incredibly useful tool to skirt a bunch of bullshit and waste less time in life. You will learn when you are older.
