Our Soul Will Go On

The soul can never be destroyed and when I make an entry into this blog I feel the soul being ever present. When I gave a hot tip about the stock market crash and the possible profits so seen in these classic scenarios my views or page views shot through the roof. People in the right mind dream of making a killing at the stock market although I have not sensed anything urgent of late. But my nerves would have blown through the roof if I were gambling numbers which could make or break me based on what I suggested. I urged no one to risk their bets on such a wild eyed economy such as the one I have been watching in China. Yes the root core of the matter is that China makes almost every product on the open market which reflects this so called miracle economy. Frankly speaking I don't believe in miracles as in my sixty six years of life I have never experience one and I know. I am Chinese. And this growth of an economy is no miracle. I said it before and I will say it again this is a beginning of new industrialization in China and like the industrialization in America it has experienced a similar growth except it is in the country of China the aches and pains of a surging economy is seen in the crashes which America had experienced but the economy does not always die. China has been there before and it can get there again and the likes of seeing another dynasty is not so remote as the derogatory slogan used against the Chinese of the Chinese having a "Chinaman's Chance". Yes the Chinese or my people have failed too many times but perhaps the coming times just might reflect a success in their doings. Look….the Forty Niners blew their chances this year but they are still the candidates to get there to the promise land or in this case to the big bowl in the sky and the word dynasty is not such a foreign word. Christmas is around the corner for those good souls and even lost souls and I did not believe or accept Jesus in my years because the miracles he was said to have performed were far too unbelievable for a lad like me to believe. But guess what? A little birdie within the internet told me China will be if not already embracing Christianity and China just might do the impossible because as we Christians have come to know Christ performed miracles. Can Christ perform another miracle on China? Stay tune for I have not been too far away from my marks. Seeing is believing and see my blog. The Chinese are not complete failures. Yes they came to settle in America and many were saved and given food and shelter rather than starve outright but America had the right to reject the massive influx of a poor nation which could serve to drain the resources of a viable thriving economy as America enjoyed an industrial revolution. However Warren Ah-Tye had the profile to defy the stereotype of a Chinese from a country which had turned poor and destitute compared to the nations which had modernized. Warren Ah-Tye is my father's cousin if I am not mistaken a scientist of the highest order with a documented resume which I have googled recently and personally spoke to over the phone. It might still be there. At present his name is not a household name but the famous and the gifted cannot be buried forever.

Illusions of Grandeur

The effects of Parkinson's can produce some amazing results take my word for it I have been diagnosed as having moderate Parkinson's for some ten years now. Take the leader of the axis power of the second World War Adolf Hitler. He had Parkinson's and he visions of ruling the world. The world stood by as the German army rolled into Russia and slaughtered millions of Russian people. Hitler was not to be taken lightly he was an accomplished Nazi if one can give any credit to the Nazi regime. I'm convinced that he had Parkinson's disease. Historians will agree I know of no debate. European law I am told states that I am to provide cookies or sources of my information. I am not a paid journalist but I am learning and wish to address all legal issues and be responsible for the laws which govern this blog and wish to learn and cooperate with European law despite the fact that I have never been to Europe nor do I have relatives there now or ever in the past. Most of what I write about is addressed to people residing in the United States and as much as I would like to become a citizen of America I feel through deeds and misrepresentation I am nothing but a second or third class citizen in America at best. My shame was being born Chinese and marked with an identity of belonging to an inferior race. For my father Howard Ah-Tye who wrote and published a book named Resourceful Chinese his shame or humiliation was far worst than mine. Discrimination was far worst and this word weighed heavy on his mind when he was alive who I knew deeply well. He was my hero and will be until the end of time. He endured persecution yet still held his head up high despite the common known phrase pertaining to the Chinese race as having "A Chinaman's Chance" Despite the odds my father lived and died with total dignity. Another world leader of utmost importance who had Parkinson's was Mao credited by most Chinese as a legend. And Pope John Paul also had Parkinson's. These were visionaries who had millions of followers whether one believed in their mind thought or not. Were any of these people insane or not? You are the judge. Don't forget Janet Reno has has Parkinson's for a number of years. So you ask what is my point? I don't speak for the more than one billion Chinese and plus more but I am merely one human who has a point. We were born into an ethnicity and one day we will die but now I don't think it is the time for us to die. How dare anyone accuse me of living a life of an illusion when I am a person with a life of an illusion. Of course Parkinson's does not make me any greater but I will live with it to battle it. By the way my father had Parkinson's when he reached eighty years of age at least. We will conquer over it and be the victors.

Please comment snail mail welcomed

I read for the numbers feedback is very important to me posting my opinions without disregarding the facts is imperative to me. No one or very few comments are received but on one rare occasion an important person with significant credentials commented upon my social media attempts. In fact there were a total of two persons who commented that I have known or know. I've been told by editor of US News and World Report Marty Nemko current editorial status unknown to me that a blog is good for the soul and I receive no payment for this blog. I met Mr. Marty Nemko on the air when he was on KGO radio as a vocational coach concerning careers and he was a talk show host at the time, part time. Take my word of it he is pretty good having been mentioned in the esteemed website of Wikipedia and he prompted my appearance in this blog due to my introduction to his program concerning my status as a news talk caller and my background as a writer of a personal journal. And so the rest is history with the names of three blogs with this one being the now the primary one called Nerves Galore. I'm on leave from chess resting hoping to return to the game like I'm doing with tennis which has been my primary game most familiar with than the other hobbies I have engaged in. Don't forget kite flying is one of my hobbies but tennis is ingrained in my system and I am loving it again but let me see if I can weed out the frustrations and agony of the game if at all possible. The probability is that this is near impossible. But my aim in life is to live out the rest of my life as fully as I can and pursue happiness knowing that perhaps just perhaps I can make this world a better world. Insane you say with me being a mere mortal?I will make an attempt nevertheless.

OAKLAND CA on the map

The block T sweater is not new anymore since my father Howard AhTye bought and paid for it in 1965 forty years ago. The block T stood or stands for the three years I was on the Oakland Technical High School tennis team and lettered each year while on the team or in other words I won more than half of my tennis matches for each year. The value of sweater has far greater sentimental value now by far than when I first received it. The high school still stands tall and solid like granite rock similar to Mt Rushmore where the three great American Presidents of The United States stand. Take a good hard look at the high school called Oakland Tech the support beams as the facade are massive in size as are the Roman Columns of the building in Rome. Now why all of a sudden do I mention a high school situated in a smaller town by far than the great city of San Francisco? It is because the Warriors a basketball team has risen into a winning position never before reached until now.

The Drought Is Over

I don't know how Jesus Christ felt when he learned that he had been betrayed by his followers or even if he had many friends left. But then again it is certainly absurd that he did not have any friends for he is one of the most noted God of Christianity so therefore my not knowing the full story of Christ it is my assumption he was never lonely. Sometimes humankind has a difficult problem seperating fact from fiction. My time and money has been spent planting sod in my yards despite the barrage of disapproval and ridicule for spending untold time or some three weeks with nothing accomplished. I have noted my accusers. And I have no friends. I have even been told that I lack the capabilty to landscape my own place. Do not disregard the weather here in California because this state of California is on the map. Rain is very important here but things are getting rather hot. It is in the freezing temperatures at night too cold to plant grass but I planted patches of grass where I thought it was needed. No I am not posting an article on landscaping as much as I am about community relationships. I may not have one good friend but at least I do not have any enemies at mind. This is just not a perfect day.

Technology Has Turned To The Drone

My romance and the little boy in me will never die when it comes to the view of my own kite launched into the sky. But of course what is a full grown man doing flying a kite? In society today in a highly developed industrial nation kites are for kids and then again very few children are seen like in the old days of kids playing baseball outside but it is the video games and electronics with which encompasses their time. Is it not? But I love the little boy in me and to see such a simplistic marvel of a human putting his or her self image into the sky feeling such an object being moved or blown about into the air with a breathtaking view of the background. Okay this is my personal appeal to such a hobby but kite flying has suited my fancy but most especially with the aid of a kite launcher. Often I vow to give up this hobby for I am the only one who flies a kite in the city where primarily Asians live. Now don't peg me as a racist I never said Asians were better than anyone else. I just live in a community where Asians are more the norm rather than pesky undesirables targeted for what was practiced in the old days of legal discrimination. Racisms will never go away but if it ever does I will be the first one to toss my hat into the fire. All the hobbies coming and going have their special place in my soul reserved for a time to review and engage at again if need be. I bought my first new tennis racket for the first time in thirty years. When my medicine isn't kicking in I'm wheel chair bound as some of you are already aware of. I'm using an electric scooter a high tech tool already around for decades and the wheel chair will become obsolete just as the typewriter has gone out of production and use. Tossing the hat into the fire is just an expression I heard it somewhere hope I didn't use it in the wrong way. I'm not certain where I am going with the topic of drones but do know they get expensive much more than kite flying and chess cost nothing to play that game. And my best game is tennis or shall I say was as far as being a player. It is still a game for the rich as Andre Agassi told me over the air once upon a time on the radio KGO 810 and the top competitors in rank will continue to be white because it takes money to join the clubs I suppose and learn the ways of the rich which is tennis. Andre Agassi told me on the Ronn Owens show yet Serena Williams and Venus dominated for a time. This time I am going to read into the tennis tips and dream on of how to possess the big powerful serve a big flaw in my game when I competed but the return of serve was my strengh keeping me in the game and the ball in play otherwise I would have been blown off the courts. The modern tennis players I have not been following my memory serves me better when Jimmy Conners ruled. That is ancient history. And the Forty Niners are going terrible now. Where is that dynasty they were suppose to recapture? I know what it is. I wasn't flying my kite lately which accounts for their failure. And China suffered a stock market crash did they not? This is making my nerves galore. If I keep writing a blog entitled Journalism Reports they will come for me and cart me away. Let me merely confess I have my nerve and what with Parkinson's I am shaking! My attention will be turned to the drone. So what is this mysterious craft that flies and hovers as it were a UFO?

China's Stock Market as Reported Uncertain

Confessing that I know nothing about the stock market but only what I read and I am not qualified to give such information but in my own mind to succeed at the stock market…no I won't even go there either. Many very sharp people would say to do as I say but now after reading reports of whether it is a good ideal to buy after a stock market panic in which I googled the end result or answer is that it would not be a good ideal to use any formula as a sure way of applying such a formula. I know of no one who has successfully profited when they successfully buy shares from a well known company because simply I do not follow the stock market. I've only heard of these rumors succeeding. But something in my bones says that China's spiraling downward economy is not a permanent event to be for all time. I don't think it is about to happen. You do hear about people making a killing so to speak at the lottery but that is neither me as well. I've heard Bob Brinker speak and I think he is very good at what he does and I consulted over the air with him concerning where to put your hard earned dollars. If I had only just a fraction of his skills who knows maybe I'd get a glimpse of Easy Street.

A Time For A Killing

For those who play the stock market I say based on my feelings that now is the time to put money or just buy a hefty amount of Apple stock say bout one hundred shares. And what prompts me to think this?This is what I see and read as if the writing is on the wall. I am not an expert at this game in fact the stock market is as foreign to me as the Chinese language…unfortunately. But for those who are good at it the stock market game can be a good way of earning profits depending on which way such stock is chosen. Now I know someone with more knowledge than I can know can easily shoot holes in what I just said. Either way there are only two ways about this game either one can make a stock market killing at this stock or you don't. Throw in Google while you are at it. Let me google what I have been thinking and let me see what Google thinks. I do not go alone with this decision of whether this is a good time to buy shares of stock when it comes to picking the right company.

Stock Market Crash In China?

The dooms day people say that in China such a rise in a miracle economic growth will be to follow with an economic bust. I say that what is happening in China is merely a new industrial revolution which it hasn't seen until now for too many decades China has lagged far behind the other industrialize European nations up until now. Believe you me it isn't as easy as it is all cracked up to be to succeed in playing the stock market otherwise I'd be in it winning. But I do say this China is being shaken and there are frighten stock holders uncertain with what the stock market is doing or where it is headed. No I'm not an expert at this game but I do know what the common man like me is thinking. People who hold stock under these conditions where the economy is uncertain may want to unload their stock. I don't know what to tell them. But as simple as it may sound isn't there something to the old saying buy low and sell high? My thoughts are buy it low while you can shares from Google and from Apple but of course then you will be in the drivers seat and on a course to succeed. There you now have it!

Slower Than Slow Never Say Die

My thoughts are that it is the Parkinson's which make me so slow in everything I do from being in a traffic rush with people behind me anxious to go faster from my competitive days of hitting the tennis ball late on the rise rather than attacking the ball hitting it on a half volley or before the ball has a chance to rise from a bounce. No doubt I was a late hitter and played the baseline for those of you who know anything about tennis this is me a ground stroker who never gets respect for this style of play. Brad Gilbert by the way an American professional tennis player at one time now an announcer for the pro circuit has or had that style of play. I'm sure someone will correct me soon if I am wrong or off by a margin. Brad Gilbert doesn't have Parkinson's. But go as I show everything I do is slow. Sometimes I am so slow I never wind up where I think I may be going. Yes even right now I feel the eyes checking over my diction and thoughts saying well get on with it go to the point. The point is that the transmission of one's intent or the messages sent to our limbs are not sent with speed but are often delay. Muhammad Ali isn't as quick as he use to be. But in my experiences as well as Robin Williams who committed suicide shortly after he had learned he had Parkinson's his life alive was pure hell and he suffered from depression induced by Parkinson's. Now I am not a doctor but the depression had hit me like a ton of bricks and if it were not for medical treatment for the control of Parkinson's I would have done what Robin Williams did. My father also had Parkinson's and he too suffered from severe depression as a result I know this to be true as I was one of his caregivers. In fact his doctor was prescribing Parkinson's medicine yet my father never revealed to me he had it nor did he know but his doctor told me he did have Parkinson's. Another strange thing too is that the receptionist would or said they could not take my father in when asked the generic or origin of his last name because they did not take Chinese. My reply is that he spoke fluent English. With great reluctance he was taken in to see the doctor who was not a discriminating doctor. I shall not name the name of the receptionist. One day there will be a cure for Parkinson's and that might be a day I can be alive to see it happen…just maybe.

Nerves of Neurology

Did I not call for a desist and decease order a kind of self imposed restriction on my backyard flying activities? Yet I violated that order and wound up atop my roof trying to retrieve my crash kite on top of my neighbor's rooftop. With Parkinson's I've no business climbing around the rooftops chasing allusive kites. I never did like heights that is why you will never catch me hang gliding in one of my oversized kites. A hang glider is nothing more than an oversized kite like the ones I fly. And no I am not inviting anyone to challenge me on this point. I've ridden motorcycles for years in a crowded city but I'm warning people it isn't safe there is simply too many unforeseen events of disaster that can happen I won't go as far as saying they will but I say don't gamble your life away. But now I know thanks to my cousin Donna Lowe that I can go down to the Berkeley Marina and catch a good wind with wide open spaces and nothing not one thing to interfere in the flight of kite flying. If you want to see my condition of Parkinson's you can google my name on You Tube and hear my audio and indeed I am shaking but I do swear I can carry a tune and the sound if you don't mind me saying so is as good a professional playing their hit recordings. You will see me shaking after my performance playing the synthesizer and it isn't because I am a rock and roller it is because I need to take carbidopa- Levodopa the same drug as Michael J. Fox takes for his Parkinson's. Keep in mind I am small time I don't have near the budget that these superstars have at their command. It is said that I would stand before a large group of people and make a fool of myself that people will laugh at me. Will if people will laugh at me I hope they have a good laugh and feel better. Does it take Nerves Galore to do what I do? I don't think so.

Comments From My Followers Can Do Me Wonders

I take the subject matter which I write about as matter worth speaking about as well. Merely talking in a casual manner was enough to tip me off and discover the very nature of my fascination with the objects of flight. It begins with the basic object that began with the dawn of the ages. Now I am reminded of the talk show circuits or the news talk shows which invited callers or most anybody with an ideal or a comment on the various news items being discussed. My interests brought to mind a suggestion that I might consider the Berkeley Marina Kite Festival. I have heard of that activity for years but never investigated but I figured why not as I have been to one or two car shows even though not a car buff to any greater degree. Yet a relative of mine mentioned this newspaper article and so I took upon my interest in this craft as something perhaps worth while to observe since I fly kites just about everyday lately which is not your mainstream recreation hobby like gold or tennis or the book club of whatever. So what am I leading up to? Stay tuned I will get there in no time.

When Things Go Wrong

Flying a kite is suppose to be a break from chess something to do and relax and watch the blue skies up above and see the heavens. But when things go wrong the mind doesn't relax and yes the nerves can be even more agitated. Consider the flight of a kite such a flight cannot be completely controlled there are too many unpredictable flight patterns a kite can assume. Kites like anything else are doomed to crash and they do and they always will but they are resilient and often do survive many of crashes. Ignoring them when they get tangled up in a tree is difficult to do. The lure is there and the kite cries out to come and get me rescue me. I've witnessed a man climb a tree to rescue this huge kite of mind so astounded was I to see a man with his hands and arms and legs just walk up a tree. I warn of the hazards do not do what I have done to put a human life in danger just to rescue a kite is high risk. And so I have ceased and will desist from flying any kite in conditions deemed at high risk. There are many open places a kite can fly safe from being held hostage in trees and yes power lines present a problem for kites. If I have any words of wisdom it might be there is no such thing as being too safe. Safety rules.

Man With A Kite Looks at the Drone

Yes I am still on leave from chess and for that matter from tennis too. I ran into an old tennis acquaintance at the Home Depot a place I often hang out and no I was not in my wheel chair but walking around like a normal guy with an armful of hardware stuff. It boiled down to My not playing tennis anymore but only rarely due to my interest in online chess and the fact that I am battling Parkinson's classified as being moderate. Chess like I've been saying all along should be played like the Magnus Larsen way play chess because it is fun. As a kite flyer who uses my own kite launcher this hobby of mine like all hobbies has its drawbacks. It is marked by the frustrations of the kite fl ring in any direction God wants it to fly. Yes it is true it is me against God when I have my kites launched into the heavens and when God wants to he can strike my kite down at any time. A kite will always get caught up in a tree or stuck in your house or the house of a neighbors. I say to all mothers and tell your children not to do what I have done. I have lived my life in sincere misery in the house of the kites which are bound to crash and get caught by the kite eating trees and the roofs of building dwellings. Chess does not have this problem. But as yet I am not prepared to return to the chess game in fact I may never play again I really don't know I have not a clue. I fear that the simplicity of this blog is comparable to the novel "Catcher In The Rye" by JD Salinger. Bill Gates read that book as well as I. Bill Gates and I have so much in common it is pathetic except his assets are far more than mine being in the neighborhood of some sixty billion more than what I have not. And we both dropped out of college. Okay so you are asking what is my point? If anyone and many have read "Catcher In The Rye" then anyone can read this blog Nerves Galore" because it too is so simple that you don't have to be a genius like Bill Gates to read such a book. Yes grown man such as myself is writing about the pursuits of kite flying. Insane you say. I do see beauty in the model aircraft which can fly and I have been teased by the toy remote controlled helicopter a hovering toy something with which was not invented when I was a child but have discovered with glee that it flies indoors with dependability. But these types of hovering aircraft(model) don't fly worth beans outdoors. I know I tried them and loss a fortune on those one hundred a dollar toy helicopter designed for outdoors. I was taken deceived into thinking that since they worked so well indoors the outdoor ones would also work well. Fast forward to drones. As most of us know drones do work and they can and will hover indoors and even better outdoors. It is indeed in the cards and I will fly the remote controlled drone thousands if not millions of us do so then why not you or me?

Being Too Tall Is Quite Permissible In Basketball

Okay so I am on leave from chess and I think I can return. Meanwhile I have taken up other hobbies and find them quite rewarding. In fact I find that I believe that I have talent in these various hobbies of mine never before realized. And does gratification come about? It does come about more than one could realize. The feel for accomplishment beats the feel for failure any time. I am Chinese and in fact I was watching television something I have cut way back on since I have so many hobbies. ON the tube it showed a comedy concerning that everything made is made in China. And it is true. Everyone knows it as sure as they know that to day is today and tomorrow will be the next day. So if I am Chinese (and I am) and everything is made in China then…no…no way. It appears that if any thing I can so represent the thought process of a Chinese because as anyone can see I not only look Chinese but as anyone who has known me I have testified that indeed I am from the long term contacts of the people I have known for years such as the community members who have attended my church since I was knee high they can and will testify who I am and where I have been. Besides my sisters who have known me but with one in particular who no longer speaks to me I am known. In other words I must account for everything I write and say in a mass media market and I have been held to task. What I have attempted to prove in this posting is that tall people in particular men who have practiced the game can indeed outperform other players shorter than them. Even in the animal world the focus on animals other than humans (in this case giraffes) would certainly be the candidate for the type to compete as the victor in basketball and I have seen in person the animals just a few days ago as I ambled my way around thinking of these creatures tall and prime to fit and be trained to put a ball through a hoop. To my knowledge however I have never heard of a giraffe being trained to play basketball. Damn I wish I had asked the trainers while I was at the zoo viewing the huge long necks of the giraffes since without a doubt they are the tallest creatures of the animal kingdom but chances it was a good decision that I did not do so least they would have run me on of the zoo as just another looney tune. And as serious minded as I can be writing about chess and now the news I say the format for the news should be changed and journalism should take on a new lead; it doesn't have to be so serious all the time. It is okay to be silly every now and then because the business of the news should not always be serious and tragic just to sell the news. If we were allowed to be silly every now and then maybe there would be less depressed people after all who can disagree that laughter can be the best medicine? So don't mind me as I have been laughing all they way every time I come back from the zoo. It can be so cool to be big and tall especially in basketball. And let me tell you about the zoo…

It Is Not All About Chess Necessarily

It has been many weeks since I worked this blog and this blogged centered on my chess game yet I have taken a long rest from the game and who knows when I shall return to this game. The original intent of this blog was to write what was on my mind and not just on chess but chess was something I did indulge in so I gave it time to work with and expose the game of chess as I experienced it. Now I focused on the perimeters of the game rather than the game itself and the gamesmanship. The next blog has already begun some time ago and it is known as Journalism Reports yet I cringed when I use that name because it can give a false sense of what such a blog is all about and numerous times I have explained it is not written by a professional journalist to the point of changing the name to maybe some name of a blog more appropriate about my mind rather than pretending to be a news reporter which I am not as no one is paying me a salary and I have written these blogs for years now having never been paid one red cent. Marty Nemko who launched me into blog writing know this and suggests that even though one does not write for money or payment writing is good for the soul and yes I need all the good soul that I can get. I covered this subject matter before. It was my wish that my real name be not revealed and as a caller to a radio station we never revealed our last name which was and is the magic formula for such a successful news talk show. But as many of my readers know bless you all my name has been revealed and oh yes I said that already. I'm being candid with you as my reader being careful with not being wild with personal opinion but at the same time not trying to convince my readers that what I report or write about is fact or the truth as my corporate bosses would like me to be or write about. Yes I met the famed writer Norman Mailer on the air and yes I was inspired by him and his style of writing and no I do not pretend or at least I should not pretend to be him the highly trained Harvard educated professional writer with a best seller beneath his belt. I am inspired by these assets but I have none of these qualities and if I should succeed or fail in whatever I do it was be causes of my highly trained education at the University of California at Berkeley which I attend. Wait hold the press stop the wheels. A correction need be made. I did attend such a school but took college courses for credit transferable to UC Berkeley for grades in which I did pass. I'm not trying to inflate my credentials any more than I am trying to deflate them. You might say my resume is right here on this page and this is the truth to as much of my ability to report the truth the whole truth and nothing but…wait wait. There is not the room for this. Yes it is also true I don't have a college degree although I took classes and received transfer credit to UC Berkeley as a sophomore in 1971. I was accepted to the school of UC Berkeley in approximately the year of 1967 but dropped out overwhelmed by what was going on there but I did succeed gaining college credit in transfer courses in psychology, economics 1a, economics 1b, history 10, German 10, English 1A, English 1B, political science, marketing. My transcripts would be more accurate and many times I have been asked for this information and now you have it. I lived out most of my life aged 66 but look much younger and so I say may I go down in history as being a good guy who desire to live the rest of my life as one in full who hoped to make this world a better world for everyone not just for myself. I wonder if it matters what I say since I am merely a small force in a limitless universe.

Drones Are A Better Diversion Than Kites

My higher post ratings depends upon what topic I pose. In this case it is the drones which is the object in mind of today's much talked about technology applied toward civilian use for whatever be it pleasure by hobby to commercial use used for professional video coverage. Yes I developed the kite launcher a simple pole extended some ten to twenty feet into the air making it practical to fly a kite in a one horse town like Hercules California where no one flies kites except one lone nutcase and that man I cannot reveal for his own desire to remain anonymous. Grown men are not suppose to admit that they fly kites but to tell you the truth kites can be enjoyed by anybody and not just children. Nowadays kites are big enough to take a small child up into the air and away so this is why adults must be present. Those indoors helicopters were real cheap and great flown indoors without the slightest breeze to disturb them indoors. But the generation of model flown helicopters for the outdoors were failures they simple did not fly until these new drones came about. Now technology is talking. I fly objects that I can control remotely or by string(kites) and I'll even get a close up view of hang gliders by video viewing and pretend it is me up in one of those things but I will not risk my life going up in one if I did then you would see some real nerves galore shaking and it would not be from my Parkinson's. Not to get away from the main topic. Now what is all this fuss about drones? This is the mother of all inventions of today and they will lead the manufacturers of today into serious production of cars of which we are so capable of producing. In fact my legal aspects of real estate professor Marvin Starr of the 1970's told me not to get involved in real estate sales but into manufacturing and I said to myself yes sir right you are in saying so. That was when I was a struggling student at UC Berkeley and that class was the only class I had passed and the worst grade I had ever received but not to regress from the topic of drones. Drones do fly and if I may say so they fly perfectly having made observations of them learning about their flight capability through video and the such. If we can make these objects of flight so easily then we can manufacture cars that will fly just as easily. Have I not made my point in the science fiction department for the serious engineers and scientist to dream about and come up with these inventions starting out with the science fiction I have written about in my earlier blogs like "It Never Takes A Genius"? I drew pictures of flying cars but no one would pay attention we were not ready for such absurdities. I spoke about then on the radio talk shows and a former professor of psychics at UC Berkeley turned talk show host took my question of cars that fly as a serious question. You wonder why the Chinese from China are not producing flying cars or any type of cars suitable to drive in the United States. I mean why not? China produces everything else then why not cars? They do not need to reinvent the traditional car as China's miracle acceleration in their economy is clearly marked in my mind as the Industrialization of China unprecedented or in other words it is China's turn to catch up and surpass the powers which were colonial powers turned economic powers based on their advancement of the industrialization or era of inventions which boosted their production far above what China could do…up until now. Is all this a dream I am dreaming as I would like to be living a world of reality and not in a dream state. If I am dreaming then someone better pinch me so I can wake up. Miracles never happen I admit and if I am dreaming give me a few more minutes to dream because for a moment or two I can only say dreams for short while are fun.

Magnus Larson Is Challenged

It looks like I'm still devoted to this blog and my readers. I've noticed I haven't received but only a very few comments which is due to my ignorance in following directions however it is my intentions to follow directions with due diligence. In the meanwhile know that I am here for you and for me to know that I have taught the basic fundamentals of chess and what it entails when playing online chess at this time and era of history would please me. Anyone can contact me through snail mail I am not that mysterious at all. I am a living human being with a soul not a machine but yes with the machines through the Internet we are greatly aided in our ability to process information and gain with an acceleration never before accomplished. Note that Magnus Larson has had one of his records broken by a new and upcoming player as one of the youngest chess player at age fifteen to reach a chess rating of 2700. In the time to come the Chinese can produce some rather notable chess players and they are out there already but not in my mind. If they were you can bet my chess ratings would be soaring far and high but I have proven at least in my mind if I can practice by playing thousands of online games of chess most anyone can and just think how much further advance in life you can be. Chess is for people who like to think and would we be not further advanced in a civilized world if we played games which taught us how to think? I'd like to think about it.

Learning Chess Through the Internet

The thought is that we can learn through the Internet many things thus solving the problem of overcrowded school.  Having written about my experiences online has given the reader insight as to what to except and this country for which I know mostly needs good smart types who can pick up where I left off and show this county of America that it  once hosted a champion who was a great player namely Bobby Fisher for as I played online that name was always present and available for me to read up on while other onlookers of the game knew him to be the chosen one who led the way for an American to beat the top Russian grand master during the time of the cold war between the then Soviet Union and the free world including America.  Unknowingly I help train our grandmaster who followed Bobby Fisher in played and also played Bobby Fischer as Walter Browne  related to me.  Bobby Fischer is an American legend and another grand master who followed in Bobby's footsteps namely Walter Brown played and practiced at tennis to keep himself in shape for the Russians as he related to me way back in the early 70's his preparations to play the Russians but he did expressed a kind of fear and apprehension about the young tough Russians players he was scheduled to challenge.  I did not personally meet Walter as I did the first time I met him in person while on the same turf we shared at the Berkeley Rose Garden tennis courts high up on the hill of Euclid our favorite hangout place for us to play tennis among all the other public tennis courts in the Bay Area of that time.  Most of those tennis courts if not all of them are still there to this day.  Where are all the young and  upcoming American chess players of today but I extend my hand to them and let this county come back to where Bobby Fischer became a world class champion and be competitive in this game once again.  Chess has been around a long time even longer than the lifespan of the beginning of Chinese civilization and I  for one think it would be wonderful for America to once again see the glory of being in the front running at the game of chess.  If a nation can produce a true champion like Bobby Fischer and Walter Browne then the world will know true genius.
