The Pleasures of Permanent Privacy

By poetryman69
If you want permanent privacy, go out into the woods and live on nuts and berries. Better yet, go into a trackless desert and spend what little remains of your life looking for water. People could stumble into you in the woods. Nobody is dumb enough to follow you out into a waterless, desert wasteland. Eat sand and die.
Otherwise, your address and private info have already been sold several times the moment you went on-line or signed a contract to buy a house.
I suppose there are some rules for maintaining some shred of privacy. The main one is: never post anything you don’t want everyone on the planet to see and know. You have far less control over even your closest friends than you know. Even now someone you used to trust is emailing something they promised never to share to someone you hate. Prepare for maximum humiliation!

Did you read those that Terms of Service Agreement your provider of free email or social media services laid on you when you signed up ? Have you signed your privacy away? Can you they hold your information hostage if they think you dress funny and your mother wears army boots? Yes. Yes they can.

NFC Fan Party, NFL Experience, Dallas Super Bowl Party: Hooters to Dicks Last Resort

By poetryman69
How to party in Dallas Texas if you plan to come for the Super Bowl
I guess the first thing to note is that the Super Bowl will not be played in Dallas. It will be played in the nearby city of Arlington in a stadium some have dubbed “Jerry World” or the “Death Star”.   Jerry Jones paid a pretty penny to build a monument to himself and that’s where the Super Bowl will be held. Since the Dallas Cowboys stank on ice this year, they will not be in it.
Super Bowl, events, parties and gatherings will be held all over the DFW region.   DFW stands for Dallas/Fort Worth.
A lot of events will be held at or near a district of down town Dallas called the West End. If you read through the itinerary of Super Bowl events a West End club called Zouk figures prominently in several of them.   Some folks think that the amount of partying that will be going on will make for dense and difficult traffic in the West End. Those of you who are don’t want to face wall to wall cars and exorbitant parking fees are in luck.   There’s a new train in town called the Green Line. It goes right past Zouk and right through down town. There are other trains like the Red, the Orange and Blue Lines that you can buy a ticket for and jump on in the same vicinity.
The Green Line is not far from places like the Dallas Art Museum.
If you want to see a bit of color in the day time before the parties get started, ride the Green Line to the Pearl Station stop. Get out and go the Plaza of the Americas mall there. If you go inside the mall at around noon on a sunny day, the prisms embedded in the windows will throw rainbows all over the floors and walls.    As you stand on balcony, you may see children sliding across the ice below you on a skating rink built into the center of the mall. As you lift your eyes from ice you may see plants from the hanging gardens overflowing the terraces that climb up the sides of the building.
There are the obligatory see through elevators if you really must put all this in motion.
The mall is not far from the Sheraton Dallas and the Marriott. There are any number of shops and a food court in the mall itself.
If you can talk your way onto the upper floors of one of the downtown luxury hotels, be sure to bring a camera. You will want a photo of the panorama of the city of Dallas.
When you are finally ready to head back to the West End, some other places you will want to check out are The House of Blues, Hooters, Dick’s Last Resort, The Butcher Shop Steakhouse, and the Dallas World Aquarium. There is a Sushi place near the aquarium if staring at live fish makes you hungry.
The Green Line is your path to: the NFC Fan Party, NFL Experience, Dallas Super Bowl Party: Hooters to Dicks Last Resort
