Where Did All The Humans Go?

This is a question I ask myself on a regular basis.

The other day I walked into Ralph’s and met a man who worked in the meat department.

His name is Johnny.

We looked each other in the eyes, shook hands, and then patted each other on the shoulders.

It was a big moment for me because I hadn’t done that since 2019.

After we patted each other on the shoulder, he openly said to me, “You never took a Covid Shot, did you?

I said, “No man, you can’t put that shit in me.”

Then he said, “It’s nice to meet another human. I only run into a few of you once in a while.

All I could do was laugh at myself because I sort of felt the same way.

Then we asked me if there was a particular cut of meat that I was looking for.

I said, “yeah, I’m looking for a nice piece of Filet Mignon.”

“No worries. I knew you were a human because you knew what cut of beef you wanted. You looked me in the eyes, and you weren’t staring into space.

“My entire family took the shots except for me and my cousin. A lot of my family are sick now and the ones who aren’t sick seem to be angry all the time.”

I said, “Welcome to my world. Yeah, it is what it is. I’ve had to learn to be quiet about that stuff. We are living in very strange times and if you look at the science fiction being produced it is all social engineering, predictive programming and sort of preparing us for the fake alien invasion that is coming next.

Get ready, it’s going to be wild!

This is your path.

Living In A Post Truther World

The truther movement as I usually like to call it may be full of shills, or controlled opposition or even “controversial control freaks,” regardless of where the path takes you, all you can do is authentic to yourself.

Over the past few weeks I have found a new peace in my own life because I have fasted (yes I believe in fasting), and yes I have prayed. I like to pray when I fast and I realized that I don’t have to wake up anyone anymore.

Why? People believe what they believe. To get them to be flexible and shift their position is so impossible because you have to look at a situation with fresh eyes.

No, I don’t have all the answers and when I get attacked online when I do, you know in a text or on a phone call, I just laugh and say most of the time: “I don’t know what I don’t know and your guess is as good as mine.”

Most relationships have a beginning, a middle, and an end. 

For those that “get you” and stay along for the ride, I openly welcome them. For others, that make you “wrong” from the start, you have to love them enough to let them go.

Regardless of where this Substack Post finds you, I want you to know that there are no accidents and if you simply look at what is happening around you, it will all make sense after awhile.

We don’t choose who we love. Some people you’ll meet along the way and from day one you’ll just be pissed at them all the time, while others will come along, and it feels like you have always known them and you can’t imagine your life without them.

This internet thing is an amazing journey, isn’t it?

Doesn’t your life feel like an “APP” sometimes?

Aren’t you blown away with how many people come along and get you while others just ignore you.

Hey, it is what it is.

Love you, Seize the day!

Lesson Of The Week: People Are True To Their Nature

It has been my experience in this world that people are true to their nature. You can share or show them all of the evidence you want but at the end of the day they will simply revert back to what they once were.

I’ve learned that you just have to love people enough to just let theme be who they are and leave the rest behind.

After Substack

Dear Readers,

It has been an amazing journey. How are you? I’m great. Over the years I have so enjoyed writing here on WordPress.

The last year or so has been wild. I took a side track over at Substack. Starting on September 16, 2024, I started writing on Substack instead of WordPress and for the most part I really loved the platform.

Substack from my perspective is a combination of a blogging platform, media platform and social network.

Why did I shut it down? Well, it was fun to reach 4,850+ Subscribers and over 6,700+ Followers. Substack had a really fun groove to it.

The best part of the experience was that I had 19 live phone calls on my iPhone 16 Pro Max with various Subscribers from around the world.

Over the years that I have been walking this earth, I have developed a “global network” of contacts from England, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and South Africa.

There is a life we learn with and a life we live with! ~ Mitch Santell

Whatever we do in this life, we have to follow our intuition as best we can.
 

PS Thanks for reading my ramblings, pontifications, and insights here at Stoner.Studio! Get ready to have some fun as I give you some of my greatest observations of what is happening in this world. Take good care.

It is good to live an authentic life. What is an authentic life? For me it means that I’m willing to seek the truth no matter where it takes me and I’m willing to tell the truth to another when it’s appropriate.

The biggest lesson of all?

Well, it was Jeff Bezos, who stated it recently in an interview:

If there was ever a time to live in truth it’s now.

Here is the challenge you face and we all face:

“Most people don’t want to know the truth.” ~ Jeff Bezos 2023.

Jack Canfield, who wrote the book “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and was very successful in the seminar business before he became a world class writer said to me, “Mitch, Tell The Truth Sooner!”

Well, guess what?

You either tell the truth sooner because the person you are talking to you love unconditionally or you are willing to tell the truth because you never want to hear from that person again.

This is the great divide in 2024.

My point of view?

1). The glass is always half full. (Avoid half full glass people).

2). There is a life we learn with and a life we live with. (Talking about your past proves nothing. Why? We are not living in that time anymore and the “cast of characters” that were in your life are Dead, Buried, and Gone.

3). As Les Brown (a great motivational speaker always says): “80% Don’t Care and 20% are glad it’s you!”

A.i. May Save Humanity ~ There Is A Birth Rate Collapse Coming

Being an early adapter is not for the faint of heart. Now in retirement with 4 grown children and 3 grandchildren, I’ve been passionate about technology since my youth, I’m not as scared as others about the advancement of technology.

Of course, there is good tech and bad tech. Once you unleash something new onto a society, you can’t take it back.

In 1984 Pacific Telephone (Yeah, it’s an old MA Bell Company) turned on their first cellular system.

Side note: In my youth, I was in the finance business and later as an entrepreneur, I helped new companies raise their seed capital. It was so much fun, I’ll admit it! Seeing the look on the Founder’s face as you handed them that first $50K they knew their life would never be the same and they would have a lot of work ahead of them.

My employer at the time was the Orient-U.S. Leasing, a joint venture between two of the world’s largest equipment leasing companies.

The Japanese are very innovative and they wanted to give their sales team an advantage that other leasing companies did not have. My boss at the time was willing to invest in cell phones.

The phone cost $3700 Dollars (USD) plus tax, plus installation came in at over $4100 Dollars.

The phone transmitter was installed in the trunk of my 1983 Z28 that I had bought new from Clippenger Chevrolet. It took about two hours to get it up and running. It was a trip driving down the Hollywood 101 Freeway with the phone to my ear as people looked over at my car. I remember this one guy who almost ran his car off the road watching me. How old was I when this happened? 25.

There was something very special and magical about those first first phones.

Why?

It was considered by today’s standards to be a “dumb phone,” no touch screen just push the buttons and dial. It simply worked. You never had to look for a pay phone again, or ask an officer manager if you could use the phone in the lobby to call your boss.

Fast Forward to 2024

At first glance, since a.i. being so new, I know a lot of people are scared of it, not me. Maybe this makes me a “contrarian.”

We have to look at the “big picture” and open our eyes to the global population collapse that is coming. As more and more enter America through border states it used to make me nervous until I saw part one of this documentary. It’s something to think about. I had 4 children. Out of those 4 children only 1 daughter had 3 children with her husband. Do the math. It’s a fascinating transition.

Welcome Back To Stoner Studio

I am Awake, I am Not Woke

If you are serious about being an artist regardless if it’s in music, film, writing, painting or any other form, you are basically going to have to go it alone.

Why did I just write that?

Answer: You can’t build your own team until you have a clear understanding of what you’re creating.

There is a life we learn with and a life we live with.

The #1 Lesson I’ve learned along the way is that envy and jealousy from others around you will kill whatever project you are working on before it gets out of the gate.

How do you handle this?

Answer: It’s always better to tell them what you’ve done, not what you are going to do.

You are going to have to live as a social recluse because my observation of most of the people in the entertainment game is that they are online all the time but at the end of the day getting really little done.

Over the past two years I’ve been a very torn man I witnessed, watched and heard so many strange things out of the media, from Family and Friends. From former business partners.

Too hip, can’t talk, gotta go. That was the old Hollywood.

The New Hollywood? The truth is there is no new Hollywood and if you are sitting in front of the latest M1 or M2 Mac or a super fast gaming laptop, you basically now in charge of your own studio. Wake up, the software is all available.

In the grand scheme of things, the past two years over Covid may have been the best two years of my life. Why? First, I didn’t have to take meetings with people that I really have no interest in. Second, I was able to discern how other people think simply by by finding out what they thought of Covid, the Covid Shot, as well as how it affected their social life.

What’s it all about Alfie? Is this real, or is this Memorex? Since Covid my life has become a messenger app. Oh yes, if you are like me and you may be, you have Skype, Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, Line, Google Hangouts, Twitch, Discord, or even Rumble.

That’s your new life. It won’t go back to the way it was because we are now in a culture that is 100% Divided. You can’t tell me it’s not, I’ve just had seen too much craziness over the past two years.

As I always say there is a “Life we learn with and a life we live with.” What do I wish? I wish for you what you wish for yourself.

It’s all good, it will all work out, and who knows, maybe you’ll be a better version of yourself in the end.

Me? I knew who I was at 15 years of age. Most people? They never figure out who they are.

All of us want to know:

Who am I?

Why am I here?

If you can figure out who you are and why you are here you are 90% ahead of everyone else!

My Life Is A Messenger APP

Living In An APP

After the Covid lockdowns started, I noticed something really strange.

Do you know what it is? I noticed that my life became a messenger application. It did not matter if I was on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, there was no real human interaction. A lot of the time it felt more like I was responding to an A.i. (Artificial Intelligence Application). 

Copy and paste in text.

The only thing you have to do is remember that all of these text applications are basically a “dopamine rush.” If I need a dopamine rush, I think I’ll make myself a French Press Coffee.

French Press Coffee Pour
Time for a Fresh French Press Coffee

Make it a wonderful day and as I always say, “You can’t take any of this stuff too seriously.” If you really want to know what is really happening, look around you. Why? You are watching humanity de-evolving in real time.

This blog is written for humans. If you don’t think you are a human anymore then don’t read these posts. LOL.

Why Is My Life Now A Messenger Application?

Each day I want to avoid Vaxidents. What is that? It is a person who is on their 4th or 5th booster shot and don’t drive right.

Here are some things that I am noticing:

1). People who are jabbed have a hard time staying in their lane. They drift into your lane.

2). Notice at an intersection, the driver never goes up to the line. They are 1, 2, or 3 car lengths behind the line.  (Be careful, they may go into your lane). 

3). The driver will drive 5 or 10 miles an hour below the speed limit. At first I thought these people were stoned or medicated, nope it was the jab.

4). Driving through red lights without slowing down.

5). Are unaware that they are not driving correctly.

The Journey Continues

Yesterday was a big day as I had to figure out how to generate a new SSL code so that this website can continue. I’d like to sincerely thank NameCheap who did a great job of walking me through the steps to keep Stoner.Studio safe online.

The remainder of 2022 will be another big transition for America and the World. If you want to know, dear reader whom this blog for, it’s really for you not me. This site is for those who can still think for themselves. You know something is strange, you can’t really put your finger on it, plus you see people acting weird!
