A late one.....

I've started the actual application for FOFSTOCK to become a charity. It pales in comparison to the Worldwide Vote but the advocacy plus the music festival is a powerful combo especially when the United Nations looks at FOFSTOCK in 2027.

FOFSTOCK Music Festival!

Remember, the Worldowide Vote / Positive Mandate for Humanity and that new Global Social Contract are there to increase happiness and decrease sadness and frustration in life. You can have enough to eat, a place to sleep and clean drinking water but still be unhappy - why - because that was me in my youth; living in a first world country but incredibly unhappy. We actually have a shot to make things happen in a big way. Even a modest reduction in unhappiness and the corresponding increase in happiness is on an unfathomable scale for any individual to comprehend - so we carry on. It's just that it took all these years to get into a position to try! Sixty Seven next month - that's my age next month - and even though the Fates gave me a few extra years - we are near the end of the plays with me involved. It can happen - because it happens all the time in real life.....

Strategy gets you in position. The play sets it up and when the opportunity presents itself you take the shot - because the opportunity may never happen again!

Goodnight.....

This was a surprising day!

I was leaving my dad's place and coming on to Don Mills Road (Toronto) and I noticed what looked like a vintage open wheel race car. As it came closer I realized what it was:

Lotus Super Seven

I thought about snapping a shot but he was past me - but this was strange - seeing a Lotus Super 7! It was this dark green which was actually the British green originally - whatever.....

At the orgs is a request for ideas and the SDGs so I'll start pitching the social contract there.

But that car! That is the same car Patrick Mcgoohan drives in the original Prisoner Series. And yes: you could piece together the car from Lotus and buy the Cosworth engine from Ford - so when the Prisoner says he put it together himself, that was actually a real thing with this car.....

I still can't believe there is a Lotus Super Seven in Toronto. This car was basically an all out race car you could drive on the streets back then as a club house race car. Now in the series the Prisoner (Number 6) had to use hand signals to turn because it did not have the signal lights (of course in other jurisdictions you had to add the lights to get the car into your country). Still - a Lotus Super 7!

What a surprise.....

Goodnight.....

Making progress by leaps and bounds with the advocacy.

Family is over and my time is limited. However the advocacy and strategy is moving at freight train speed and purpose!

I went over the original Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that turned into the Sustainable Development Goals and they actually make mention of some bight purpose - in just a few sentences about self-actualization and the role of the human rights - but that isn't enough! But it is definitely there in the fine print and that is my way in with the Positive Mandate. Why didn't they go further? Probably because any idea usually runs counter to religions, cultures and geopolitical concerns. However, the Positive Mandate is just about happiness and really through the Declaration of Human Rights which is really rights about the fullest expression of ourselves in all aspects of our lives because it makes us happy!

The Positive Mandate is the least offensive goal to put atop the 17 SDGs goals and turns all of that into a new Global Social Contract!

The goals are targeted to be met by 2030 and while some marginal successes can be made - I believe they will have to update things and try for 2040, perhaps with the Positive Mandate as the ultimate goal that was never stated in the beginning - yet now can be as a new Global Social Contract!

The Worldwide Vote carries on but can be hosted in many places but the best place is at the UN and as a part of the SDG goals as a process for global
self-determination for humanity with regards to the SDG goals. This is the perfect time to disseminate these ideas for inclusion after 2030 but it has to start now!

This whole thing is so insane as I was given next to zero chance at any of this back in 2004 and here we are today! What was a one out of a billion chance of happening is now one out of three for something to happen with the advocacy and we are still in ascension.....

Just one wild ride.....

Goodnight.....

No time to do anything but updates.....

Lotus Super Seven

I am seriously considering possibly buying a Lotus 7 or Lotus Super Seven car as they are way cheaper than I thought.

They can be cheaper than what I spent in guitars. In fact if a car showed up I could buy it - an original Lotus Super 7 - with cash I already have in my bank account! The only question is when one shows up.

I'm not interested in the later versions as those were made to look more modern and I hate the look. I want the old ones. The ones with the old rounded wheel surrounds. The old ones with four wheel drum brakes. The original 1500cc Cosworth engine that gives the car a top speed of 80mph.

These cars are death traps. So low slung the other cars will regularly try to back up over you - thank goodness for reverse cameras! Roll without a roll bar and you are dead.

Original cars didn't have a roll bar and the car looks best this way. The flat bench seat if possible. I want it totally old-school.

Lotus Super Seven in the original configuration Inwant!

Anyway, I'm looking.....

Goodnight.....

Saturday.....

We have two people in their mid-90s at my dad's place so there is a lot going on. No matter, things are slightly upbeat today. While I was getting some good luck with the advocacy - I was getting bad luck at home; but now thing's are evening out a bit. I should be back at the United Nations on September 21, and how long I stay there is still up in the air. However, not too long though as hotels are ridiculous high during General Assembly.

For now I'm working on some replies to a questionnaire on the activities at the UN, putting our own little spin on how things could be improved. No trips to the mall today, maybe a movie at home tonight as it will rain all night.

Goodnight.....

Too much stuff happening on the home front.

I will just have to be satisfied to start the questionnaire abit the SDGs at the United. Nactions.

I looked at my guitars this weekend.

More fun and games for Monday.

Surprisingly this is good for the big plays on advocacy. Just
surf the bad luck wave and stack the good luck you will need in a few weeks.

Goodnight.....

So, a relative gave me a 50 dollar Google Play gift card. It was given to him by someone else and was a year old and I figured I would give it a try.

The idea would be to use it to buy a high end photography app like Halide on my iPhone. Well, there is no Halide on Android and the rest kid of sucked so I did have one subscription for a wifi calling number. So I scratched the back of the card and redeemed the card and got a pop up that said they needed more information - Here we Go!

They wanted my name and email and where I was located. Then they wanted photos of the front and back of the card along with a photo of the original receipt! So I sent in the information and photos and waited until I got back a conformation email that they were looking at my case.

On Reddit I read that this happens all the time and then they will say there were inconsistencies and decline the card. So a day passed by and nothing. Then I got ready to never see this money - and if you fight Google - they can delete your Google account with all your emails and all your apps paid and free and say there was fraud involved.

Basically I was just going to do nothing and not incite the wrath of Google - Alphabet. I was going to rage about it all in this blog of sorts. This was all you could read about the Google Play gift cards online. So imagine my surprise when on the second day I got an email telling me I could redeem the card. The balance still says 0.00 so I have to input it all over again.

Anyway, if I was going to rage all over not
getting the money - I shall honor the process and tell you that they did honor the gift card after all!

Goodnight.....

Late update.

I put the Google Gift Card redeem code in again and : 50 dollars!

I will finalize the plane trip to New York now.

Work on the questioner continues.

I did buy a wireless charge pack. You may not need it but when you do - it's a lifesaver. Get one that charges wirelessly. Like my 14 Pro Max has lightening but this will still charge that without cables. It has USBC / USBA and the old USB Micro to handle it all. Trust me on this - buy one and keep that ready to go at a moments notice.....

Goodnight.....
