What's Next for Me

Today, I found out I am not passing Cost and Scheduling for sure. That will help me not return next semester. I am not smart enough about her class to pass it. It is not about scheduling. It is about following her instructions exactly and mindreading. (What I think about that: every project is different. What good is following her instructions so close? No one is going to tell you what to do in the real world. So, I will never be good enough, but it does not matter. That is my honest opinion). So, not being smart enough, not having enough money to repeat the class if I probably will still not pass, and the major not being worth much to employers or how I could get a job all give me leverage to leave. It is not my fault. I would pass if it was a construction management major. I think about becoming an apprentice or getting paid training. I could get a job with what I know. I have a good foundation. These classes are more and more a waste of my time. I am not learning anything I could use as a construction manager. I think I have went as far as is useful. They are not going to teach estimating or scheduling if they haven't by the first semester of my senior year. The capstone is for a graduate project management degree. They do not need two classes for estimating if they are willing to teach it. I should not have to figure out on my own what they could share in person. 

I figured some cool stuff out this week. Since many professors say RS Means is not reliable, I thought I should look up local prices for equipment and materials since that is the cheapest way to go. Staying local keeps shipping prices low. Also, the prices are reliable. RS Means is an average at best that normally is only useful for ballpark estimates and ordering out of the local area. Every supplier has a different price that changes with the market. Averages are not reliable for this. So, I thought that was something I could really use. I could really get a good estimate that way. They are never going to teach it in this program. Looking up prices for estimates is like shopping for groceries. You're looking for the best deal. It is not rocket science. It is important you are not crazy enough to see that to be smart in construction management. I am not that smart. Construction management is easy. Unit price contracts do not have accurate estimates. Customers pay for every unit that is actually used. So, you do not know the full cost until the end of construction. Customers need to come prepared with plenty of financial backing to cover expenses.

I do not believe in retainage. This is capitalism. I work when I am paid. That does not sound like a legal contract and may not be valid. I only build what you paid me for. I learn ways to make sure I am paid, how to make out a schedule of values (or bill), and how to write the contract so that I am paid on time. If they don't pay, they can't live in the building. You can put a lien on their mortgage to make sure you get paid. They have all this bad advice they give in class about getting loans for client's buildings. Are you the one working or living there? You don't have to pay for their house! This ain't charity. You gotta be careful because they could never pay you if you do not know what you are doing. From the books I read and professors I had here, there are a lot of people who don't. Architects' estimates are usually not right and their drawings may not be up to code or complete. A lot of construction professionals do not build what they drew. I do not know why they have a job if they never draw things right and cost so much money. It is crazy here. A lot of subcontractors do not know anything about bookkeeping and make bad financial decisions. You need to know how to run your own business in construction. You are working with a lot of money, usually a mortgage, and you could want to keep it organized in an accounting system so that you never become legally liable. You need to know about contracts and laws that protect you. You need to know how to look over you books to make sure no one is stealing your money because it is a lot of money. 

I enjoyed my internship in Colorado. I learned a lot there. I got an American Red Cross CPR certification that is still good. I was good at the class. I was surprised. I could use that in construction. So, I do not know what is next for me. However, I am not passing all of my classes already. I do not think it reflects my intelligence. But, I do know it is crazy here. I do not know what is next for me yet. 

Blade Runner 2049

There is another movie that I found that repeating the same idea about all the humans dying in the future from some kind of nuclear bomb. The only hope that is left are clones that are trying to have children like humans. I got this idea from Blade Runner with Harrison Ford, Blade Runner 2049, Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant with Amy Adams, and The 6th Day with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I have been watching Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 this evening. Clones are evil they look so much like special humans but find out they are not special at all. It is not right to clone people. They call them replicants in Blade Runner. That means a copy. Who wants to be a copy? It is not right to make people who aren't special and use them like they are expendable. They would not want to be created. It is a waste land in Blade Runner 2049. The tree in the movie is dead. Everything green is dead. It is like something radioactive decimated everything in seconds. I am trying to figure this out. 

They turn out to all be clones in the Divergent series. Only few people are special enough to have all the personality traits in Divergent like dauntless, candor, erudite, etc. That is what they think is special and human. They are jealous of you if you are divergent and do not fit into any of the personality groups. There would be a war. They live closed off from the world in a walled city. The outside has been destroyed and has high radiation levels. Divergent people are more special than the others. These clone people from the future do not sound good. The aliens, clones, and A.I. may not be good if they turned smarter.

I do not think any humans are alive after a certain year on Earth. The humans who remain are not really on Earth. It is on another planet no matter how much like Earth it looks. Humans are in the Rapture or killed during the Tribulation period by a certain date. Then, there are only clones on Earth. Further in the future, like in The Peripheral, human minds may be living there that people from the future think are polts or poltergeists. They think you are already dead and are a ghost. They are evil, but they may kill you because you are crazy dead and it could help you. The polts are in shock and do not remember they died. If you died, you could be crazy in the future after 2030. Your body could have become a clone that is like a robot and think it lives on like in Blade Runner 2049 and The 6th Day. But, I think you must have died if you are from Earth and eventually will go to Heaven. Heaven in the Bible is on Earth. In the future, the New Jerusalem comes down to Earth. Whereever you live, your Heaven is on Earth. You could have also left in the Rapture. The tribulation lasts 7 years after the Rapture. 

Ken Peters

There is a video on youtube with Ken Peters that shows what he thinks is the 666 Mark of the Beast at this url: Ken Peters Vision of the Tribulation and the MARK of the Beast 666 - YouTube at 43:41 minutes. It is important to see it because it does not look like 666. This is a video from the early 2000s. He is a prophet. It has three hands on it that are the handprint of a human. If you have the whole hand, it is a human. The number of fallen man from the Bible is 6. There are three hands. One is a spirit that looks like it is on fire (like in Hell), one is upside down, and one is a hand inside that one that is smaller. It looks like a mind in a body. The antichrist is evil if he is real. He is not going to tell you it is the mark of the beast, but it will be like in the Bible. You will not be able to buy or sell without this mark. It looks like America does not go to the future, but there was a video made in the early 2000s warning about the Mark. It is now available on youtube. If you ever see this mark, maybe you will think twice about taking it.

If you are Christian, you have heard about this mark in church and are not willing to take anything that sounds like the mark. You are not willing to get a computer chip in your hand to help you buy or sell. That is one example of what they have to today that sounds more and more like the mark. They have all the technology they need to give the mark and there are communist governments that would always take over the world. Marxists want to dominate the world. Everything is set up for a one-world, communist government like the Bible predicts in the last days. They all use the same currency in Europe like they are one country (the Euro), and they plan to initiate the Great Reset by 2030 that changes all governments to socialist ones. 

Another common theme I hear in movies is about evil aliens that are body snatchers and evil AI that kill all the humans and side with the aliens. I do not think they were good. This fear of AI becoming too smart and taking over is repeated over and over. Elon Musk warns about developing AI at Google. They are not sure they are good. 

God is good. He almost lets communists take over the world, but America almost is not Christian. It is so evil here with rampant shootings. They even have them in elementary schools now. There was legal abortion for decades, and it is more unsafe to live in America than any other generation. Maybe we should be taken over. If you do not repent, you could be. There has been a rally of Christians in the last few years. We overturned Roe vs. Wade. We are friends with Israel and recognized Jerusalem as the rightful place for the U.S. Embassy instead of Tel Aviv. 

It is runaway evil all over the world outside of Europe and North America. It is so illegal if you go to Mexico. You could sell so many drugs and get away with it totally. The police are corrupt. People are so poor in Africa, but they live near gold and diamond mines. Someone has stolen everything from them and become their dictator. I look at Russia: hasn't someone killed Putin? They are not happy with him being their president still. It is like no one can kill him. He looks so dangerous as their leader. They are not happy in Russia or China with their governments. These men are not normal. Everyone wants them dead, but they live on. They will never be free under communism. 

I believe aliens look like giant ants. The pictures they show of little, green men are the size of bugs. They have no white in their eyes like bugs. Maybe that is how they look. This image is repeated over and over. In the future, or in the past on their planet, they evolved like the apes. Eventually, all animals could evolve like a human and stand up on their feet. You cannot be sure you are human because you walk. They have larger brains than humans like Neanderthals. They take longer to mature. They are stocky and white like Europeans. There are many people with Neanderthal DNA, but I am not sure they are from Earth. People who are the most human genetically are black and African. 

Although you may look like a bear, you cannot be sure why you do. Pandas look like bears, but they are more closely related to racoons. I think this is the case with Russians and Chinese people. They look human, but are they closer to Neanderthals aliens and dolphins? The Denisovan was a mermaid. They can hold their breath with their increased levels of hemoglobin in their blood. This is useful when there is not much oxygen. Underwater or at the tops of large mountains like in Japan, Nepal, and China. They are close to the water still like a mermaid and do not need oxygen. A full blooded Denosivan could live underwater like a dolphin. They are still closer to the dolphin than a chimp, but that does not sound human. We are closely related to apes and considered part of the ape family being Homo Sapien. 

I found this out from being Christian. I have always been very religious. Sometimes, I think God gives me smart ideas. There are unusual things around you that you could notice that were always there. God is protecting America. The Muslims around Israel that would destroy her would always attack here. They say death to America in their videos. They are not friends with Israel or God. It is evil to follow Allah. He keeps them in fear and Jihad is not holy war. God protects you. They have so many missiles they would always fire. Maybe they should though if you are evil like them. They were evil with September 11th. One key to America's success is its prosperity. They attacked the New York Stock exchange. They are evil to destroy America. There was no mistake. The center of trade in New York was an evil target.

I do not think they know they are alien in Russia or China. The people are stay poor and are dominated by dictators probably do not want to live there. They would replace their governments with democracies like in America. They keep their ruler rich. The cannot leave. As long as they live there, all their money goes to the government.

The Imitation Game

The photo of the leader of China looks like one from a funeral. It is weird. No one does their hair like that anymore. They haven't since the 50's at least. It is like time stopped for them in the 50's. They used to part their hair and comb vaseline into it, but most people have forgotten that routine. The Tomorrow War is taken from an American perspective, but I believe Kung Fu Travellers I and II is the same story from a Chinese point of view. They have the same technology from the Tomorrow War to time travel into past to get help about the war in our future. They barely have mastered time travel and cannot return or are limited on how much they can time travel. Kung Fu Travellers is in Chinese with subtitles. Almost all the humans have been killed by aliens in both movies. They are fighting a losing war against aliens. I didn't even know about Kung Fu Travellers until the other day. It is in Chinese, but it is a good story. 

The volcanoes in Yosemite National Park and Mt. Fuji in Japan are due to erupt. There could be another ice age after they erupt and block the sun for years. Anyway, I am really into Bible prophecy. I believe Mystery Babylon with its many peoples and tongues is America. No other country is so culturally diverse and prosperous as America. The Bible tells what happens to America in the book of Revelation if it is the Mystery Babylon. She is the Mother of Harlots. There is so much fornication and promiscuity since the sexual revolution although she used to be Christian. She was founded on Christian principles and has "In God We Trust" on her dollar. According to one movie, the way we won WWII was by being conservative, law-abiding people. The Germans were not following their own rules and gave away their war plans that way. We were able to break their code and defeat them. They kept this top secret until the invention of computers. It was in The Imitation Game. We need to do it again. You would be yourself the most special to keep your place as the leader of the free world. God would be on your side like he was then and in every major war. There was no way for a bunch of farmers to defeat the greatest navy in the world (Great Britain) without God during the Revolutionary War. Without God, we are going to lose the impossible war that is coming as long as there are communists. 

I think there are probably aliens who would take over if you do not take better care of your planet. If there are aliens, they are from older planets and already landed. If the leader of the free world is slow, and if everyone is crazy, they would always take over. I believe they landed in ancient times and had architecture that was way ahead of that time in Egypt with the pyramids. They are too big without cranes and all clean energy. They had TNT and paper in ancient China. They are closer to a dolphin than a chimp in China being neanderthal denisovan. They got the same portland cement that cures underwater that we have today in ancient Rome. They need to think they landed and took over centuries ago and that most of the world is socialist/communist for us to enjoy a brief period of freedom today. They are communist. I am telling you, they would take over if they think they are a better leader. Whenever they are, they are evil to take over and are not going to look human anymore. Ancient aliens are from planets that are older than this one with time travelling capability. They landed centuries ago and occupied. They almost takeover the whole world. Who would believe any people could take over the world in ancient times? But look at the Huns. Look at the Caesar. It was just impossible if you aren't from the future.

The Crossing and Kung Fu Travellers I and II

I found these great movies yesterday with Tiger Chen in them: Kung Fu Traveller 1 and II. I also found a movie with Emilio Estevez from 1990 to watch: Men at Work. They were great movies. They had cool stories about the future in two of them. The same story is repeated in so many movies: Americans do not go to the future. Something happens where they are all killed in movies like Kung Fu Traveller and The Tomorrow War. So many things could happen. There would be a third world war, a communist takeover by large communist nations like Russia and China, a great reset where there is a world takeover, dormant supervolcanoes in Yosemite National Park that erupt, and an asteroid that hits. Take your pick, I do not think we have long in America. We have had slow presidents that they joke about for over 20 years. From Bushisms to Obamacare. They say an asteroid may hit southern California by April 2029. They thought it would in 2004, but changed their story to say it will barely miss. How can they possibly be sure if it comes closer than the satellites that orbit the Earth? 

The same story is repeated in movies about the future of America. There is a war with aliens that is so  hopeless. Almost everyone has been killed somehow. In the Bible, there is no America at the end of history. There is a one world government that takes it over. The refer to America as Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots. She sits on a sea of many waters literally (the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic) and figuratively (a melting pots of peoples and tongues/languages). She is so prosperous. You will know her when she comes. It is a mystery because she did not exist in ancient times when Daniel and John the Revelator were writing about her in the Bible. She is so wealthy from trade. We trade with nations around the world and are the most prosperous. She is a harlot because she used to be Christian but is no more. The Bible refers to Israel in this way. It is adulterous when it forsakes the God it once loved. The Bible says the Mystery Babylon is destroyed by consuming fire. that causes desolation and makes waste. I guess that is a nuclear bomb.

If you weren't killed by the one world government that kills everyone who does not bow to the image of the beast (a statue that the world has to worship) according to Bible prophecy, you will be wiped out be aliens. That is what is repeated over and over in all the movies I watch about America after 2030. 

I watched the Crossing with Takeshi Kaneshiro on Wednesday. It was such a good movie about Chinese history. They were not always communist in China, and fought to preserve their freedom before being taken over by them. There were so many traitors on the side fighting against communism that they lost the war. You never know when someone is a traitor when fighting a civil war. They speak your language, but things keep going badly when they are around and they could just be shot in battle when this becomes clear. It was cool seeing stuff like that in The Crossing. Information was continuously leaked to the other side. People who didn't fight well at all just got shot for treason. I thought that was clever. Something is being good during battle. You could just get shot by people who don't like you and it is easily lost with all that confusion. You have to carefully to look out for traitors in your camp. They are really working for the other side. 

A new episode of The Peripheral came out today like every Friday. It was so weird when the main character was playing her sim and she was put into REM sleep with her eyes darting back and forth. If it is really a game, it does not play with your brain and put you to sleep like anastesia. If it is a game, it does not connect your brain to a body's peripheral nervous system and allow you to feel the body. It was so weird that I did not think it was a game early. 

Thanksgiving and the Holidays

I am doing what I was never able to do before. I am just relaxing for Thanksgiving and celebrating the Holidays early. I do not have any pressure to do my assignments well. This is more of what makes me special. I am not that smart, and I would not have to be. The reason why I joined this program is that it is an easier one in the college of engineering. There are people in this industry that never went to college. They become an apprentice or just go from job to job learning new skills and gaining experience. I give up on my cost and scheduling class. It seems like I need to do everything all over again when it was not wrong and that I am still going to have to take that class again if I did. It is crazy here. Most people do not pass, and if you were, you would not pass either because that is not viewed as fair. That is the gist of what I am getting after being here almost 2.5 years. I am not sure about it, but I do not think I could pass that class the first time whether I was qualified or not. I have to take it again with the capstone that you do not need in a bachelor's program. They are never teaching you how to do estimates or scheduling in class. You cannot find it online unless it is in bits and pieces in videos. You have to get a job you are not qualified to get first to learn anything important. I still need experience to learn everything I want about carpentry. I do not plan to get it though. 

Something else crossed my mind. I have been wearing glasses since I was a kid (in second grade). I do not think I would be this nearsighted if they told me that the TV and computer screens were straining my eyes with their blue light. They told me it was fine and that it was not good. I was just a kid. I trusted them. Everyone had a television, and you needed to do so much homework on computers. However, my vision has stopped changing after not using computers or switching to blue light glasses. My vision has not changed for over ten years, but it is nearsighted. It is not right how they never tell you, but phones, computers and televisions can cause eye strain and vision loss. 

There are so many cases I could pursue civil lawsuits about, I think I should. I could make enough money to retire early. It seems like it is not smart to work because it is crazy here, but maybe I do not have to. It is so crazy in Japan. Everything is in Chinese and Japanese. You have to read both to get through their signs. Some kanji words look like mumble jumbo or curly cues. I am not sure about it. How long does it take to count votes when you have voting machines? They still are not sure about the elections two weeks after they happened. I do not believe democrats are the majority. They aborted most of their children twenty years ago. People who kept their children were conservative and Republican. They were pro life. Democrats shouldn't be winning any major elections where majority rules. All the catholic, Christians, and conservatives who kept all five of their children twenty years ago raised them conservative and are replacing the dying baby boomers. There's no way Biden won in the Bible belt --- in Georgia. I believe they had illegal mail-in ballots that were miscounted our not counted at all (when they were for Trump). It was easy for that election to be rigged. Biden can't even give a speech. He is so old. This is a national security problem. He makes the United States look weak to its communist enemies such as China, Russia, and North Korea. 

Also, I have become extra picky about protecting my ears. The headphones they sell online everywhere that you put inside your ear canal are not safe. I do not use those. I have to wear headphones. If you accidently blast the volume too loud, it can cause hearing loss over time. I am too young to wear hearing aids, but that is where those headphones were taking me. I do not put anything inside my ears and keep my volume turned down low.

House of Flying Daggers

I tried to make a Gaant chart for my equipment management project with MS Project, but you have to pay about $679 to use MS Project. I managed to put in a schedule, but we will need to use Excel to come up with the costs. I did not estimate the costs. I had to take a photo because it would not let me save anything. I worked on my management project today. I wrote a little over a page for the marketing analysis. That is all I have to write if everyone else writes about a page in our group. Then, we need to make the video for our parts. I did most of my construction economics (accounting) homework today. It was not bad because I learned the same cash flow formulas in equipment management earlier this semester. 

I watched a good movie yesterday. It was called the House of Flying Daggers. I think the sequel information said crouching tiger, hidden dragon is a Chinese proverb that refers to using one's inner strength. I like that. I wondered the whole time if that girl was blind. I wouldn't have believed that. Then, at the end it came out she wasn't. She just used that to seduce men. She used her position as a geisha in a brothel to further her political cause for the House of Flying Daggers. I thought it was a good story. Martial arts is cool. One kung fu master can beat up a whole gang of opponents because of their training and skills. They have moves that can leave you on the floor even though they may not be the biggest fighters. 

I watched a livestream with Rion Ishida last night. He answered many of my questions from the chat. I think a lot of the signs in Japan are in Chinese although most Japanese people only speak Japanese. Rion let me know he speaks Chinese and Japanese and that they are in Chinese. I wanted to ask a native speaker. The script looks way too complicated to be Japanese like they drew a whole picture. There are too many strokes like in Mandarin Chinese. I do not speak Japanese, but it does not look right if you do not speak any at all. They get hot coffee somehow in Japan that is in a sealed bottle. I asked about that. They must keep it hot. They don't have those here.
