Christmas Epiphany

B.O.B has a song titled Bombs Away featuring Morgan Freeman, whom is the narrator of this masterpiece.

I usually use quotes to set the ground work for the piece.
So this will do perfectly:

"As the war between light and darkness continues
Heroes and villains become harder to identify
Kindred spirits separated at birth
Fighting for their place in time to be solidified
The clock ticks faster and faster
While time runs a marathon in this Babylon
But see, the end is only the beginning
The beginning of the calm before the storm"

So my Christmas Epiphany starts here with this war, which war? The war that has plagued the lives of families in the USA since big box stores dictated when Christmas would start. Now there are other parties - Amazon and Cyber week. The way I look at it with all these companies closing and stores eating the dirt, Amazon is the retail industry savior. If they win this war between them and all big box stores, Christmas might go back to being a family holiday.

I think Amazon being the retail savior is something that could happen. The big box stores have put out of business several chains that have been around for a long time. Malls are closing and being turned into different things or even being demolished. So I think it's time for a hard reset.

I don't know the recipe for acceleration but things like this happen in their own time.
I don't want to be out of a job but I would love for the real meaning of Christmas to shine through once again and for retail employees to be able to have Thanksgiving with their families and not ruined by a 2:30 in time.

I love the retail industry and shopping but the industry needs a complete overhaul. Many managers and associates converse about well it will take the big box stores to all say no more being open on Thanksgiving but they are so greedy and perpetuating this spiral into the lessening of family fibers.

So to sum this up,

"As the mask of deception falls off the face of humanity
Unveiling the grim reality of duality
In which everyone is a casualty, no one will be exempt
Truth has many shades
It's not a matter of black and white, but gray
Although many, we are one, so in the final analysis
Could it be that we are fighting a war that can't be won?"



We need to fight back but how can we when the masses are controlled through hysteria. For the mask to fall we need a savior and that savior is Amazon.

To Whom the Bell Tolls

 Hi, my name is Joshua Harke and I’m from Syracuse, NY. I’ve lived in Charlotte since I was 13 years old. In the summer of 1994, we moved to Charlotte, NC. It was a huge culture shock and life change for a new teenager. I went to a few different schools here; I went to Randolph Middle School for 7 th grade and I was bullied there so my parents moved me the next school year to Bible Baptist Christian Academy in Matthews. I liked it there and played soccer in middle school. I also attended church there with my family. I transferred schools after my junior year to United Faith Christian Academy. I loved it there and grew into a great high school athlete. I played in the praise band and played soccer, baseball was even the mascot, and outside of school, I played ice hockey on a local team and for the Junior, Checkers travel team. I made Who’s Who Among Highschool Americans my senior year. I also couldn’t decide what I wanted to be as an adult and that’s fine. I had an internship in a ...

The Only Time Consitancy Sucks

  I'm constantly reminded every morning that I have a disease. I take a few little pills that make life relatively easier. Today isn't one of those days. I'm super frustrated, sad, and have a crazy headache. It's not that I enjoy talking about the reality of what goes on in my brain, this is new the talking about it, within the past couple of years. It's like tons of information got held back and for a while, I just talked and talked. I've gone through a lot and I'm really proud of myself for working hard and getting back into school last spring. I'm proud of how hard I work at simple life tasks that people take for granted. I'm proud of how hard I work just at a job and what I hope is seen by employers as my integrity. I'm really proud of being able to coach kids in flag football and how much I really enjoy it. Life is much better than it was even 2 years ago to a year ago. I keep moving forward and marching towards a brighter future. A lot of ...

Education Inequalities Based on Class, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity

 This is a discussion that I posted in my Sociology of Education class here at UNCC and the dialogue following. 1. I think that today in the climate of education being a minority can have its advantages for education. I feel that being a mixed male special education teaching student might afford me a better chance to obtain job placement when I graduate and being that there are fewer males in elementary teaching roles now. That's my intersectionality. I believe that the demand for minority teachers is good for me but they shouldn't place a male in a teaching role if they're not qualified same as a woman, it just so happens that it's a role that is needed to be filled in society. 2. Attention should most certainly be given to economic segregation. It should be addressed but as the problem that whites have been afforded a head start in the game. It's like a video I just watched in Child Psych. If we as a society could get over living in white-walled neighborhoods wher...
