    M.D. Wall

    Hi, my name is M.D.Wall. Somehow in my life I always got involved with the wrong crowd: I don't know how it happened but I did. Now, I have said stuff I learned from being in the wrong crowd: I am saying this to a semi-younger audience so that young adults don't have to go through what I did.

      Being an adult is… Being constantly aware that death is simultaneously very close and very far away, so each day is a rush to slow down so that you can get enough energy from stillness to speed up and get going. What are you worried about currently?

      What We Talk About When We Talk About Sex.

      Apr 7, 2021

      From the age of five, I have memories of being told “go change your clothes” before men came into my house. As I got older, I wondered whether the men were told not to sexualise a five-year-old girl upon entering. Now, I question why it was acceptabl

      Children are the future: That is for sure: But, we can all have a hand in making the future. Just by doing what is right: Or by making someone else’s day brighter: By helping someone on the street: It doesn’t have to be an amazing feat: Just by doing something nice for another: And we don’t always have to care if it is accounted by another: It doesn’t always have to by everyone be seen. And yet it does help someone get on with their day: Maybe in some way it comes back to you: Even when you have forgotten it through and through: So, maybe it is nice to do something nice for someone other: Even though you don’t always think of the person as a brother.

      The rain: Some people don’t like the rain: For them it is a pain: But, the rain helps plants to continue to give oxygen: And without oxygen: What then? So, we need the rain: But, why must people think of it as a pain; when it is plain that we need the rain; why not take the time to enjoy; it is not a ploy; just to take some time to even sing an old song in the rain: There is the one I know; although I don’t know who it is by: I’m singing in the rain: I’m singing in the rain: What a glorious feeling: I’m happy again: To paraphrase that old song. Why not just enjoy the rain? Why not just feel alive in the rain?

      Women: Men can never understand them: No matter how hard men try: Women always get the last word: I guess that is how it is supposed to be: That everywhere that we do see: That no matter what a man does: The women’s voice will be heard: It is not a bad thing: But, still; there are men’s rights too that are trampled on: Did men have the right to speak too much: And now it is other’s turn: And yet, it is all our voices that speak: And what do people seek: To not have their rights trampled on: Yet as a Coolio song goes: The money and the power: The power and the money: But, it is about more than that: It is about people helping out one another to make it through hard times. Yet, some people do take too much advantage: And some people later no longer help after being taken advantage of: It is sad.

      We all have to grow up sooner or later: We all have to stop being kids and become adults: As they say in a Toys R Us Commercial: I want to stay a Toys R Us Kid: To Paraphrase: Well we can’t stay Toys R Us Kids forever: We have to grow up, try to work: Not a life shirk; and try to go forward with our lives; that is how we thrive: Life can be hard sometimes: But, it is no crime; we all grow up in different ways: In some ways people become slaves; there is the saying: Wage Slaves: Yet, there is free time too; there is time to hang back and hang out with one’s crew. And yet it is hard to grow up: It is hard to stop being a kid and admit reality; to finally give fealty to reality; that money and power are important; but they are not everything; and there is the saying: A Friend in need is a friend indeed.: To paraphrase: We might see the bad side of that; but there is a good side too: That we become deeper friends as we help out friends in need.

      Some people ignore reality: It is alright to take breaks from reality; but we cannot ignore reality: It is like the kid who is so intent on his Ipod that he or she gets run over: Sometimes we have to pay attention to reality: Now; it is alright to take breaks; everyone needs a break; but kids have to be aware that when crossing the street it is dangerous: Kids are facing machines that weigh in tons; and getting run over by one of those is no fun: So, kids have to aware if still listening to their Ipod to pay attention: And not go to adult detention: Because if they survive they might face jail; and in that in life; that is a partial fail. So, just saying; it would be better if kids paid more attention crossing the street; so as the saying goes; they are not Street Meat.

      Some women still cook for their man; that is right; some women still cook for their man; that is part of their plan; some women still know that to get a man; they go through their stomach; they don’t make it quick; they cook and clean for their man; and they get him by the hook and bam; sooner or later they are married; as the man has been parried; some women don’t know how to cook and that is okay too; but some women know the trick, and they are not quick: To get the man by his stomach; and that is the trick: Because if the woman can get him by the stomach; and she is kind: A hard working man she might find.

      Why do people go and get guns and shoot other people? It is stupid and sick: Is their life not full enough; do they find their life too tough: That they have to blame everyone else when life is hard for them: They are adult babies: Just looking for an excuse to go around with a gun: They should suck it up and get a job: Not people of their lives rob: They are total losers and there is no excuse; there is nothing that they can say that can excuse them: They go and get a powerful gun and shoot people in public: Why? What did people do to them: For what excuse do they have for that: They are simply a waiting rat: They whine they cry; they do not try: They are less than babies; it is true. At least a baby waits for help: They are even less than a whelp.

      Parents: We all have parents: And we are dependent on parents to raise us right: But; there is an old saying: A child is raised by a community: Sometimes it does take a community to raise children: Sometimes it is not just the parents but the whole community that must get involved; for problems to be solved; for the child to be raised truly right; and to understand how to care about others plight; sometimes the whole community must be indeed involved; and problems can be resolved.

      Some people just want to start trouble on the double: They want to sink the ship; and blame it on others and give trouble the slip; they like to start trouble and make everyone pay; and they just silently disappear. Don’t let them do that; let them stay around; let them explain; let them go through the same pain; then the next time there is trouble; it may not be them for you; as you kept them from doing it to you the last time; and that is not a crime; because the person was acting like slime: But, make sure you get your say in; don’t only let them weigh in.

      The Cyber Bully: I talked about this somewhere else; but I’ll say this: All kids have to do is delete the message, and or block it: But, if that is not enough; have more than one Email Address without fail: Have one for family and friends: Have one for friends: And have one for acquaintances: If you put it that way; if anything ever goes wrong on the one for acquaintances; just abandon it for a while; just leave it alone if a cyber bully comes along: Then with a trusted friend and or family member look at it later and decide what to do; but only with a should to cry on.

      The Bully: Kids should know this: Tell the teacher first; it is not the worst; and in fact the bully might be telling lies to the teacher too; talk to the teacher first; it is not the worst; and if the teacher does nothing; go to the principal; and if nothing is done; go to the superintendent, the board of directors and the bullies parents. That is the way for less kids to have to pay.

      The smell of a flower; it has power; it is sometimes nice to just stop and smell a beautiful smelling flower: It is nice to just take a break and smell a flower and or rose; it may make your day better; who knows? A flower that smells beautiful; and just to take 30 seconds away from stress, that might de stress. So, why not just take some time to smell and look at something beautiful from mother nature; maybe it might even help you have a better day at work. Who knows and maybe it might seem a quirk. But, it is not; it is nice as the saying says: Just to take time and smell the roses: To Paraphrase.

      The old, the old, sometimes they can be bold: They can go around saying: If you don’t behave: I’m going to punch you out: And sometimes they do mean it: And they have earned that right: After all in their life they have had to fight; so what do you do when an old person says that to you: You keep quiet and realize they have earned the right: That old person has earned the right to say to a younger person: You want to fight?. So, you just show wisdom, apologize and realize that you acted out of line; and by apologizing all will be fine.
