  • How to be More right than Wrong

    This second episode of the Wake Up series, opens your eyes to the eight sections of life that define what you are trying to do in life and why-then shows you how to use those to make right decisions that enhance your survival, pleasure and extend your life.

    Some of what I am talking about is what I have learned from data brought forth by noted philosopher and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.

    I also need to acknowledge the opening and closing edited music by George Ellinas, Mine+Yours=Ours from the creative commons website dig cc mixter

    I hope you enjoy this second episode in the new series,

    John Miranda

  • What You Communicate and How You Communicate Makes a Difference

    This is the first in my new pilot series Wake Up. This is NOT to be confused with the current fad, Woke, which in effect, in my opinion is taking folks backward, putting them to sleep if you will.

    In this series of mine, I will be talking about aspects of life that you probably have not noticed, but that are there and key-when you do notice them and apply what you learn about them to your life, it will be greatly enhanced, I can assure you of that!

    This first episode delves into communication, two aspects of it that particularly address the importance of what to do before you begin a conversation and what not to do when listening to one and what to do when the speaker has finished. Will save you lots of angst!

    Some of what I am talking about is what I have learned from data brought forth by noted philosopher and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.

    I also need to acknowledge the opening and closing edited music by George Ellinas, Mine+Yours = Ours from a creative commons website dig cc mixter

    I hope you enjoy this new series,

  • Freewheeling or Running Off at the Mouth...Lol

    Thus is the first of a pilot show where I just talk about things that happened to me or that I thought about in a day that I think you may find interesting or amusing.

    This was was done while I was up near Nashville TN for a few days checking some things out.

    I talk about some political stuff, restaurants, outdoor shooting range and other items.

    Not sure I will do another one like it, depends on how many folks listen to it.

    Thank you,


    John

  • Preface: Education and What Happened to the American Dream

    This is the first in a series based on the book The Leipzig Connection by Paolo Lionni, which is a no holds barred expose giving the who when and what of how the American Education system was systematically brought to its knees and is today, but a shadow of what it was before the the beginning of the 19th century.

    You will not like what you be listening to and may actually piss you off as it should for no greater crime can be committed that to deny individuals their right to knowledge and skills that would put them in control of their destiny's in life.

    An excerpt from the book" The child is not, for example, thought capable of volitional control over his actions, of deciding whither he will act or not act in a certain way: his actions are thought to be preconditioned and beyond his control, because he is a stimulus-response mechanism." pg. 9

    You can find the full text of the book online in pdf.

    Included are some of my experiences in my schooling and teachings from Mr. Ron Hubbard noted and respected philosopher worldwide.

  • Loves Lost Love Gained

    This is my personal chronological history over about 30 years of interpersonal relationships with women.

    An interesting journey to say the least!

    Despite the frequent pain the loves gained were well worth it. Follow me from my first to my last and enjoy the ride!

    Thank you,

  • Cars and Trucks that I have Driven, Some Jalopies Some Not

    We have all lived in different places and moved on or been with various partners and moved on and so it has been for me with cars and trucks.

    Some were jalopies, but most weren't and some I truly loved. All had a story and some had very interesting stories as I bought, drove and sold them.

    Give a listen as I lay out, in pretty chronicle order, rides that I have had a part in and their interesting stories and adventures that they were a part of in my life from the first to the last...well not the last, but to the present.

    Enjoy,

    John Miranda

  • Working For the Man

    I was processing out of the Army in 1969 and was promised that I would get preferential treatment because of my service record when it came to job offers-that was NOT the case. This show details what happened and some of the misadventures that occurred and includes an added note about labor unions.

    Hope you enjoy it,


    John

  • About Me and How to Determine the Truth

    This show started out as my inauguration show, but then I decided not to publish it. I now have edited it and its good to go.

    Just a few personal items about me and a lot more on truth.

    Today more so than ever before we are presented with data a plenty form social media, online rags and friends all wanting us to accept them as truth.

    Failing to differentiate between what is truth and simply opinion or flat out lies and believing them or worse operating on them as truth and incorporating them into your life can have serious ramifications for you.

    Here are a few really good tips to save you from embarrassment or worse from my experiences and the research of L. Ron Hubbard
