Intro

It is Thursday... June 27, 2024... at 12:40 pm

I am alive.

When I wrote the book A collection of our thoughts... I did not know what I wanted to write about.

This is different.

...

The book A collection of my thoughts is already finished.

This introduction is being written after the conclusion.

The intention of this book is to finish my past. 

Done.

...

This was for me.

This is reference material for me.

I am sharing this content with you because I know that you can learn from my experience.

You are welcome.

...

That is all I have for now.

Enjoy.

11/13/23

It is currently November 13, 2023... at 10:33 am CST.  Last night in NBA action... despite Stephen Curry being hot... PAUSE... the Golden State Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves... 116-110.

For the record... I am NOT a can-sir. 

He-he.

...

This morning... the temperature here in Northern Mexico... aka Southern Texas... is 58 degrees. This morning I already fed the puppies, cleaned, checked my emails and messages, did yoga, rode my bicycle, and shot jump shots in front of the house. 

For the record... I am a can-sir. 

Ha-ha.

...

When I was a child... I was always fascinated with history. In what is about to be 2024... I am fascinated that literally all of history... is available on the internet... right now. The reason why history is so important... is to understand the successful and failed documented experiences of others in the past... so we have the understanding of what to do that will make us successful... in the present... and in the future. 

With that being said... this morning... I have only spent about 20 minutes on the internet. I feel like I do not need to be on the internet too much anymore. I feel like I know enough about history... to understand what I need to do... and what not to do... in real life.

...

Despite the temperature currently being 58 degrees... I am about to ride my bicycle to the grocery store. I am going to use my EBT card... to get food for the house... for the day. While riding the bike to the store might seem like a chore that would raise my temper... or temperature... the chore itself... does not make me mad. 

I am a no-mad. 

...

History has taught me that we are here to do chores. 

My personal history has taught me what chores I can do... can-not do... should do... and should not do. 

...

This morning... before exercising..  I picked out an outfit to wear. 

The outfit is a collection of free hand me downs. 

The outfit is cotton. 

This morning I picked cotton. 

...

In my past... a lot of the chores that I did... and a lot of the time that I spent... was in an effort to obtain currency... that would give me the ability... to search for, find, and pick... cotton. 

I was a slave. 

In my present... all of the chores that I do... and none of the time that I spend... is in an effort to obtain currency... that will give me the ability... to search for, find, and pick... cotton. 

I am no longer a slave.

...

In my present... all of the chores that I do... and all of the time that I spend... is in an effort to obtain cryptocurrency... that will give me the ability... to be searched for, found, and picked... in any type of cotton... that is covering up my body.

In my present... all of the chores that I do... and all of the time that I spend... is in an effort to strengthen my body... so that I will look and feel good... in any type of cotton... that is covering up my body. 

So far... so good. 

...

Did an artificial intelligence robot synthesize all of the information ever written about and by me on the internet... and create the above blog post... as if it was written by me? 

It could have. 

...

Am still alive?

I might not be. 

...

History... especially new history... has taught me that everything on the internet... can be faked. 

Is a robot writing this... or is Kyle Kostic writing this? 

Did you do your homework... or did ChatGBT do your homework?

Is that a filter on your picture... or is that your real complexion? 

...

History... especially my history... has taught me that everything in real life... cannot be fake. 

Kyle Kostic is really writing this. 

Some people really do their homework. 

Some people do not use filters on their pictures... and really reveal their real complexion. 

... 

History... especially my history... has taught me that everything in real life... is all that matters. 

Knowing that everything on the internet could be fake... makes me not even want to be on the internet anymore. 

...

I say all of that to say...  that I think this is the end of this blog. 

If you are reading this... it is up to you... to believe if... any of this content is real.

I am telling you that I am in shape. 

I am telling you that I am now a can-sir... that will not die of cancer. 

... 

That is all... for now. 

I will see you when I see you. 

Peace.

football

It is August 20, 2023... at 9:05 am. It is very hot outside this morning here in southern Texas. Right now I am staying very cool... inside of the house. This morning I already rode my bike, did yoga, and lifted weights in front of the house... outside. This morning I already fed the puppies. They already went back to sleep. The chores are already finished. The refrigerator and pantry is stocked. The music is on. The house is peaceful. 

...

Last night the New England Patriots defeated the Green Bay Packers 21-17... in NFL preseason football action. The game ended prematurely with 10 minutes and 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter... due to a serious injury sustained by Patriots rookie cornerback Isaiah Bolden. 

I did not see the play. 

I do not watch football anymore. 

I do not support the game of football in any way, anymore. 

...

The game of football is played with a football.

The football is nicknamed... the "pigskin."

When the game of football was created... the bladder of a dead pig was put inside of a piece of leather... in order to inflate and create... what would be called... the "football."

Instead of calling the football "a pig bladder covered in leather"... it was simply called... the "pigskin."

...

The football was used as an indicator of who to tackle while the game was being played. 

Whoever had the football during each play was the target. 

...

The intent of every football play was for one team to advance the football past a line, by any means necessary. 

The intent of every play was for one team to prevent the advancement of the football past a line, by any means necessary. 

The end goal was always... entertainment. 

The end result was always... pain. 

...

Football was a game created on slave plantations. 

Football was a game created by slave owners... to be played by slaves... with the job of entertaining slave owners. 

...

Slaves were given perks for their performance. 

Slaves that consistently advanced the football past a line a lot... got more water, better clothing, and better treatment on the plantation... from the slave owners. 

Slaves that consistently prevented the advancement of the football past a line... got more water, better clothing, and better treatment on the plantation... from the slave owners. 

...

Today... football is a game played in stadiums. 

Today men own football teams... played by contracted players... who have the job of entertaining team owners... and the job of entertaining the general public. 

Today football players are given perks for their performance. 

Today football players that consistently advance the football past the line a lot... get more water, better clothing, and better treatment in the world... from men who own teams of players... and the general public. 

Today football players that consistently prevent the advancement of the football past the line a lot... get more water, better clothing, and better treatment in the world... from men who own teams of players... and the general public. 

...

Last night... the end result of the game... was a total loss. 

Last night... the end result of the game... was pain. 

...

Today... football is still entertainment. 

Today... football is still a game. 

Today... football is still a game... that began on a slave plantation. 

Today... football is still a game... where men are contractually owned... by other men. 

Today... football is still a game... where the goal is always... entertainment. 

Today... football is still a game... where the result is always... pain. 

Today... football is still a game?

...

It is now 9:45 am here in southern Texas. The house is still peaceful. The music is still on. The refrigerator and pantry are still stocked. The chores are still finished. The puppies are still asleep. I still already rode my bike, did yoga, and lifted weights this morning. I am still very cool... inside of the house. It is still very hot... outside of the house. 

...

Now what am I going to do? 

...

I am going to do any and everything... to entertain myself... other than talk about, watch, or support... the game... or business... of football. 

...

Peace.

Notes

It is Tuesday July 11, 2023... at 10:35 am. Today in a three set Wimbledon quarterfinal tennis match... unseeded Elina Svitolina... defeated number one seeded Iga Swiatek... 7-5, 6-7, 6-2. 

Sometimes I like when the underdog wins. 

...

This morning prior to creating this post... I have meditated, done chores, and exercised outside. 

I decided to create this post... because I wanted to make a few analog notes that I wrote digital... just in case anything happens to my notebook. 

That is all.

You can use my notes... or copy my notes... if you would like.

... 

Notes: 

...

That is all for now. 

TTYL. Peace :-)
