There's been lots of the typical, oft-discussed "street theater" of late, mostly centered around my trips to the beach and local grocery store, etc.
The typical creepy "issues people" lot; central to these fun encounters is establishing a full-time vehicle- and body-worn system to officially catalogue/capture these events for immediate and subsequent publication on this blog, with all legal requirements handled in-process (blurring of faces, etc.).
The goal is to show the undeniable pattern that is visible to me as a solo traveler or visitor to any given one of these locations that, short of some evidentiary materials or a 3rd party verification of some sort, would be impossible to communicate to others.
For now, the communication to others part will only be to publish said materials here on this blog, but a solid system around the video and audio documentation processes will not only be fun but highly valuable as evidentiary material.
The Beach
As a surfer here on the Texas coast for over 35 years, I am following my typical yearly pursuit of frequent beach time on Matagorda Beach (and surrounding beaches) this summer.
My trips are generally solo, with no other parties in the car or at the beach during my visits. I focus on surfing, reading, some times writing, laying about and staying as far away from other person's as is reasonably possible. This has been my habit over three decades now so obvious and dramatic theatrics outside of that thiry year established norm are quite easy to notice.
Now, I will begin documening for possible future reference.
As mentioned, the typical "issues people," the confused sort of people who generally seem to be organizing the street theater, and stalking activity have recently increased to a surprising, fun new level, which makes the full-time documentation of my solo visits to these regions a wise and accessible bit of work.
The problem, especially in today's hyper-politicized, hyper-paranoid, and fear-based social dynamic ("A PEDOPHILE BEHIND EVERY TREE!!," etc.), is that more than ever, the old adage known well by the Nazi propagandists of old holds very much true today: "All it takes is one good lie."
Meaning, of course, when traveling alone, frequenting regular and historically frequented locations for the pursuit of sport, recreation, or leisure, there is no accountability short of my personal telling to validate any possible experiences during such travels.
Life Logging
Hence, the simplest but highly functional "life logging" tools are on my short list to acquire and begin using on a daily basis to supplement the measures already long-standing and in place that I see to on a daily basis. The car angle is already handled, full time, 360 video of driving and parked vehicular states.
The body worn aspect is in the works though the audio angle has been handled and in place for a good while now.
For instance, every moment of every day is already being captured via full-time body-worn audio recording equipment. This (now three years) daily practice was first and foremost begun when discussing certain normal but difficult terrain I have to deal with around my aging father and the moments that transpire within our home, which is a void with no outside awareness or third-party involvement. Representatives with Texas Health and Human resources were the person's who first recommended I begin this habit ("sooner rather than later" was their expressed recommendation).
This daily audio logging has been a boon over the past three years, as there have been several times when I have been able to refer back to any given day's events and present the audio evidence to counter some wild or strange imagining on my father's part.
And when presented with undeniable, time-stamped information contrary to whatever it is he has or was claiming, which matter-of-factly contradicts his imagination, putting things into an undeniable and presentable form, I've found that any such speculative imaginings on his part are quickly disintegrated.
So too with the recent uptick in "street theater" of late and around my traditional haunts as I frequent them more and more often, totally alone and without 3rd party involvement for easy validation or accountability. As simple, well documented, well edited acount of all activities via presentable, time stamped audio and video cotent is all that is required.
A simple car and body-worn system would not only assist with dealing with these fun "potentialities" but would also be very interesting as a pure project in a certain regards: content is king, as they say and when it's something that involves the public, it's even more fun because that allows me an opportunity to refine and better my understanding of how and what is permissable in regards to say, full time video documentation of my movements throughout any given day and especially the publishing of the same.
This also leads to a legitimate need to investigate and learn the tools I am fond of, always improving my skill set in areas such as video editing, legal research, writing and publishing, so the whole thing is a resounding success from my perspective. Everybody wins, etc. The street theater can continue and even be refined, the more the better, and I learn and hone new/existing skill sets and knowledge bases that I am fond of exploring (legal matters, publishing, video editing, etc.) in equal degrees as the theater persists.
The Issues People
And the theater is fun, if not undeniably creepy, simply due to the aberrant nature of the personalities involved and what they have chosen to "earmark" as their personal view of society and living in general. "The issues people," a term that I repeat and will repeat often here, is the best (axiomatic on my own part) description I can come up with.
These are generally the 12-step people, the career molestation crowd, etc. The folks who make a life/career that is based not only on the constant perpetuation of some "illness" or confusion in themselves (really, one can see it on their countenance), but worse, have made an even more vigorous career out of projecting this same sort of thinking upon all they encounter (society in general).
A sad lot, really and a part of me pities them as I have been through tough things in life, some of the toughest but not once have I felt inclined to tote such around as an indentifying banner for the rest of my days, either to "feel okay or normal" or, more frequently the case, to buttress a system of sickness' that rely WHOLLY on perpetuating an ever fresh supply of "suffering abuse victims."
In so many ways, it is precisely the same as the incredibly dangerous and completely fictitious domain of what is referred to as "psychiatry," where, said simply, a bunch of folks masquerading under the notion of science and/or medicine, decided to get together and create a competely fictitious set of so called "illnesses'" or diagnosis' that have absolutely no merit, scientifically or medicinally, outside of these person's observing something they deem "queer" or "inexplainable" and then creating equally fictitous labels to describe the anomolous things observed.
Some wise commentary on the cirus that is Psyciatry
The systemic creation of axiomatic labels, essentially that have zero basis in reality and are not in the least based on even the most basic of scientific rigor; to the contrary, it is the realm of imagined or manufactured disorder or illness, which is as contrary to scientific rigor as is possible.
