Goodbye to Instagram 8/21/2013 – 11/5/2020

Looky Looky, here we are again. In the wee months to follow my unexpected Facebook account shutdown without any reason, I recently noticed now my Instagram was disabled by the app itself once again. I posted this blog with the birthdate that I created IG and once again the death. This headline showing the time I first acquired the app down to the very last day before the app was shut down without any warning to me. So once again, I didn’t post anything political or aggressive or anything inappropriate in any way shape or form. I did not bully or threaten or post nudity or do anything to violate there terms of us OR community standards. All I did was post pictures of cool cars, motorcycles and live concerts that I use to attend before Modello19. I digress…The reason I first downloaded the IG was because in the late part of 2012 I use to make random cell phone videos to send to friends that were about under a minute long. This would include motorcycle stunt videos or various comedy skits and sketches I would use from videos I had on my phone. So my biker friend Reid aka Stix, once said to me, ” Hey man, you should get an IG.” Because at that time you could upload a 30 second video into IG and edit or splice each video frame by frame until a mini edited clip was completed. This was a cool concept for a person who enjoyed brief edited movie clips. So I download the Instagram app and only ever uploaded hobbies of my life since it’s inception into my cell phone. However I felt since my IG was a public page that did not follow anyone and just posted things for me, I did not post faces in the IG app. I only had a few hundred posts, whilst never ever caring about the likes or the comments. Basically Instagram was my location to store pics and videos of my life and browse/click on other cool like minded peoples posts from time to time who pop up in my feed. That being said you don’t need to really follow anyone because your news feed will always populate things you clicked on or watched. So, as these many years of IG went on and posts and things happened I had no issues with my IG. My account stayed active like it always had and I never once ran into trouble with community standards or guidelines. That is until most recently I posted in this blog about Facebook randomly shutting down my account without reason and then shortly after this happens. Obviously we all understand that these a free services so they can do what they want. As I went through the basic prompts of trying to get my IG account back which was what I did when I lost my FB…I started to feel that familiar feeling like I once did googling how to get my FB back… the feeling like I was a tweaker trying to get my drugs and get my social media back. Suddenly I felt so free like an addict that broke through the chains of addiction. Shortly after this happened I coincidently watched a video by Jaron Lanier talking about people deleting their social media. Basically Lanier is this tech guru guy that had been there for the birth of companies like google and he created the early virtual reality platforms, so the guy is a smart dude for sure. The best way to describe this moment I am feeling is like when you are sick with some really bad illness but then the doctor gives you the medicine that actually heals the wounds in your brain stems. You start to feel it working as the detachment period goes longer from apps. You then start to give yourself different juices flowing through in a refreshing sense. I can recall slowly deleting the actual app on my phone while watching Lanier’s YouTube video. Not because I planned to delete every technological thing in my life like some weirdo in a basement covered with tin-foil on the windows. I don’t plan to hide out and never join the splendors of the Internet and other apps. I was just realizing certain things are un-needed and something needed to be altered in terms of priorities in my life. I feel great. I think the biggest thing I noticed is that losing both my FB and IG meant that I couldn’t have this false awesome or bad or indifferent life plugged into an internet app to be studied for reasons I am not told. Meaning you couldn’t view parts of my life in phones and would have to get to know me in person or possibly read my blog or watch my YouTube videos haha! Basically social media plays this give/take reward game, giving you something to look forward to every time you log in then taking away something at other times. We don’t notice it but tiny emotional triggers are being spoon feed to us with each scroll or like. Like most things addictive, social media can be fun and positive most of the time but also time consuming. After losing my accounts I think most people might have just opened up new accounts but I refuse to bow down to them. My ego overrides the brainwashing and tells me that if there is some reason the internet apps want to flush me out I should probably just stay in my lane because the universe could be helping me. Anyway, as soon as I first noticed my account was gone I followed the prompts on the IG app to attempt to recover my account and they even emailed me saying it was a mistake and they will be restoring my account yet it is still disabled last I checked. My accounts may reappear at some point or after this election madness ends but doubt I will notice after deleting the apps on my phone so I can focus on other projects. In some ways you feel like you slipped off the radar but in other ways you just feel a bit more connected to the earth. Besides, I have cool blogs and shit to post.

you ever think about the government and humans as really only simplified to pimps and hoes? See, a pimp will beat a chick with a coat hanger and run her a bath right after to keep the balance on the jaded soul. She will become comforted and rely on this pimp and he will even let her earn an allowance from her work. Now the USA is also a beaten, abused, battered and emotional sensitive baggage carrying human. Also with previous old universe issues like a hoe who didn’t have a perfect childhood so now we are all a statistic. Well now good ol sugar daddy government knows how to swoop in just in the nic of time and tell us human hotties what’s what and who’s who’s and shut our mouths. Next thing you know we look at each other like we are in zoos like wild animals of different races and religions shapes and sizes. HAHAHA!!! -Anyway just an observation since we are all simply starving (said in dynasty princess stuck-up voice Darling) for the governments next instructions. Please Mr government tell us all where we can go, when we can go there, what we can do, who we can do it with, oh and What we can say and what does it all mean we only listen to you. Make sure we don’t say it out loud or on the internet. All these rules and not one of them pertain to racial advantages. The government has fooled us into thinking race, color and ethnic background is divided right now when it’s NOT. The government tricked you all into thinking a bullet has a name or race on it. We started judging by racial motivation not content of ones character. We all mention race or ethnicity like we are all just a bunch of tiny gerbils fighting over peanuts in a gerbil maze that the government created just for us. They tossed us inside a square gerbil box. Oh yea and there is a scary scary virus inside and it can kill you so wear a mask you Cute little gerbil scientists that or so smart as the government attaches tiny scientist hats on us as we flounder in the life maze for the cheeeeese .. eventually we are like taxidermy hollow gerbils who think stupid ass thoughts on the fucking internet gerbils!!! Even though I’m a baad MF’er from the best place in allllll of WA, west seattle. I’m still a gerbil too. We are just gerbil people humans when it comes to the government. Our real strength is only in our numbers . All human lives matter everything that has the ability to argue with another  human over some dumb ass plandemic shit is… well human. Human gerbils but still human none the less. Pay attention gerbils! Weakness invites aggression, aggression can promote chaos. Chaos can lead to total destruction. Buuut then there is also rebuilding shit and restructuring and polishing a turd, cleaning garabge and then we rejoice! Hahaha who really fuckin knows. Bring whatever you want at us Mr Government because every day above ground is a good day to me !

Currently as of the above date we are on official lock-down for a couple weeks in a supposed effort to stop the spread of a deadly Corona virus that has claimed many lives of which people we don’t deserve to know who they are. The president himself hasn’t even been tested for this virus but is dictating what the country does while he single handily cripples the entire US economy. I watch as everyone is in panic buying truck loads of toilet paper as well as every other survival resource you can think of from food to guns. Everyone is in panic and no one knows if the virus is going to kill us all or the desperate will come first in a fight for their own survival against their own people. I myself feel I was built for this, awaiting this. Welcoming this. I feel as if my purpose is to lead a resistance through an underground Militia comprised of Soldiers from my own town as well as solid individuals we could all trust. I would cruise the streets in a stolen battle tank graffiti’d with West Seattle all over it. I would ride on top of the tank, shirtless with a bullet proof vest that has my nickname custom stitched in. I would cruise the streets in this fantasy to protect my neo community and rid the WS Sector of trigger happy military. Just me and my trusty M85 tank-mounted gunner putting bullet holes through metal and concrete to get where I was needed. When I go into battle I hit the front lines just like I expect all my soldiers to do for me….. Anyway, back to my thoughts. None of this scares me even the fact that we could be headed toward Marshal law. I got to thinking about how much Social Media is such a tool but also right next to the word weapon. It can be the source to build you when your feeling down or be the direct cause of total destruction in your day. Social Media can persuade you to buy something online, or offer some type of convenience from the touch of your phone. Or Social Media can be the persuasive nature that gets you to vote for the dumbest fucking person to ever lead this country and his prison style lips. However we took a turn back to social media recently because now we rely on it when we can’t do anything. We can’t visit each other closer than 6 feet apart. We can’t go to parks or shopping centers or bars, clubs or any social area with more than 10 people in a room. The President and his people ordered this for our own safety. Even though history has proven humans need to be exposed to a virus to build an immunity towards it. Something is more about money during this time. Either way back to social media and Facebook. I notice some people are making friends or even relations in this internet age for futuristic connecting. Some even refer to it more casually now like “oh hey those to met on Facebook” in a manner that isn’t sleazy or dark. It nor longer gives people the impression of a cheap dating app to say they connected there. More of a room or place you go to where it’s safe to meet people because they are friends with your friends on the internet. So that connection gives you the ability to see tagged photos and comments or even work related mutual connections which then enables people to feel safe about meeting someone new. Now that the stigma is gone the marketing starts to make more sense. The people start to believe in social media so much that you see the icon for Instagram, Snap Chat, Facebook, Twitter on every electronic device you newly purchase. Platforms already pre-loaded on your device with the assumption that no idiot doesn’t have one of those social media apps. Does everyone? I think everyone knows at least 5-10 people that for sure aren’t on any social media.. Everyone thinks they are weirdos secretly but also have a double perspective of love for them being off the radar. Either way social media is looked at differently now and has far more influence than the Myspace days did. Now it’s pumping fear into our city streets about a corona virus that is killing off unknown names, places, ages and symptoms before actual death…we don’t know those details but just believe it. Not to mention Netflix does their part in displaying every movie with virus related or conspiracy cinema you can watch. The city is in panic and soon no one will have money or resources left. Because surely you can’t believe that if they open the gates on our city after 2 week lock-down we can recover. We are already broken and someone appears to be attempting to stop the bleeding but we all know it’s just a front. How the fuck are we as a country, broke, always owing China money or using their products but now we pop out with 2 Trillion dollars for relief to this and Billions of other services. It’s like our country morphed into small children again and we as a Nation shout, “No Billy I will give you 1 trillion dollars for your Teddy Bear!” and Sally Sue shouts back, ” I already offered 4 Billion over your 1.5 Trillion offer” uhh derrr but someone is holding out for Infinite dollars! That’s how stupid that money talk sounds. So where does it all come from? Let’s make it simple because maybe you are like me and need shit to be simplified. I am just a simple man (Lynard Skynard voice). Basically when large amounts of debt is added up and the US prints money they don’t really have to give back to the people or anywhere really. In some cases it creates this surge in small price inflation because they need to funnel that borrowed money back into circulation to balance themselves out. So that means we can go get a big Mac from mickey D’s for $3.99 currently but soon as we get this 2 Trillion dollars to the country, retard Uncle Daddy Samuel says glad you took my money fucker now a Big Mac cost $4.02 but don’t worry we will just jack up some prices on everything else around you in the amount of pennies to pay back our Trillions of buck-a-roos. I heard of talks of a 2% inflation increase coming nation wide. Not to say this is the exact method they use but these are some ideas that we can potentially get worked over by the government and not even notice it. So all I am saying in conclusion is there is something bigger going on out there and this COVID-19 scare seems to be either masking something bigger or being used as leverage for a bigger project on humans. Think I am crazy until you are in Marshal Law being marched into a Quarantine camp and striped of your cell phone and personal items. Keep your eyes open right now and watch where the money goes. Money is the only thing this country really seems to care about so when you follow money it leads to the truth. usually.
