Loyalty

Loyalty is defined as: the quality of being loyal, or a strong support or allegiance. What do you know about loyalty other than it means a long time. Some will think of it that way even before they are loyal to something or someone. What is interesting about loyalty is it is only met with time. When someone is first introduced to what they may have to commit to, they have either a yes or no in their head that tells them to go forward with what they already have done or they will continue on into the abyss of finding something else to commit to. What brings loyalty to others? Why am I committed to protecting, or feel a sense of pride in knowing I would be there if they were in need? Friends, family, coworkers, all groups of people trying to come closer together in order to create something real. Within these groups you have hierarchies. You have those that have either started the group, company or family. They are usually older and have worked themselves to the bone to get where they are. Then that man has his pit bulls, his guard dogs that are equally as hard working trying to get to where the man they have been loyal to is right now. Then you have the workers, who are either new, or in search of something to be loyal to. These are those that get pushed around, hazed, teased, tried and tested to see if they really want to be a part of the group. They are tested on just how much thinking they have done before they got to this point. Pit bulls are always wondering if they have really thought about being a part of this group. How much do they want it, and have they even worked a day in their life that brought them to this decision? Or is it arrogance that has brought them to this decision and they think just because they believe it, without work that they can make it here. The pit bulls are designed to break you, designed to make you not want it anymore. Those who still want to be there and have put in the work beforehand are usually going to stay because they want to stay. They want to be a part of this family that has pushed them. Then when they are accepted, loyalty begins day 1. You get to see the transformation from what you molded into being one of you to someone you don’t want to leave. They are now an investment, someone you have put time and money into making a part of your vision to move forward. Sooner than you think you will depend on them. That is the other side of loyalty, is someone is dependent on you being there and doing the work. Loyalty has to come from both sides of the hierarchy for it to be a solid foundation. Trust is built over time, then with the right team you feel unstoppable. What scares people most about loyalty, they are afraid of how long it will take. Not many are willing to sacrifice years for the unknown. The point of this blog is that not many people are willing to be loyal to even themselves. Think of something scarier than knowing how far you are willing to push yourself. Be loyal to yourself, it is one of those lifetime commitments. Be your own pit bull, putting yourself through trials and tribulations in order to prepare yourself for the real tests. Life is the ultimate test, don’t procrastinate, tests can come at any time.

Coffee With Perfection

OK, for some of you this may be a change of pace for why you visit Bangov blogs. Not trying to get religious on anyone but when you have laid eyes on the forbidden fruit, you must expect a side of you to come out that you have been suppressing for a long time. As it nears, you can only hope for one thing. Please don’t be wearing a thong. If you haven’t caught on to the plot of this blog yet. You need to find a girlfriend. Who’s ass is like that of something you are willing to be damned for all eternity to touch. For my ladies, you have no idea how much power you have as a woman. We advertise life as a man’s world. Salesmanship as I have come to realize is the great Kansas City shuffle. As made popular by one of my all time favorite assassin movies Lucky Number Slevin. For those of you who don’t know it is the ultimate innuendo. innuendo is defined as: an allusive or oblique remark or hint, typically a suggestive or disparaging one. To simplify it is the ultimate phrase of misdirection. Ladies the beauty of your species can never be defined by a word, phrase, or simple meaning. Only way that the human race has ever even come close has been displayed by what a man is willing to say, not say, do or even die for a woman he truly desires. Love, pshhh love is a cheap word that is utilized in billions of dollars of revenue every day just so a man can express to a woman with ease in hopes of reassuring her that even though he took a glance at the waitresses ass last night,  he has reassured her that she is still number 2 to his goals, ambitions, dreams, aspirations. Ladies, this is merely meant to communicate one man’s observations of women in the roles that they choose to play. Play being the optimal word. Even in the military the impressions of military training can not always tell the difference between real combat and training. Simulated stress is still stress. You combine gunfire, explosions, and physical exertion, day after day, year after year, you have the finest warriors that money can buy. When it comes to you ladies, men are put through the fucking ringer. Nothing is simulated, it is all real life. The physical exertion, the explosions, and even gunfire all happen inside a man who’s potential of making you happy is the only war he is thinking of winning. Training is the day to day of men trying to figure out how to win the battles you have placed in front as your standard for him to reach you. Am I saying make it easy on them, HELL FUCKING NO!!!, put that fucker through hell week, and if he is still interested, then you may have found someone that is worth your time. What drives me up the fucking wall is women who settle for losers, beautiful, smart, ambitious women. Even worse they reproduce with them and clog the fucking freeway. Seriously, the 10 freeway is getting out of hand. Never mind that, but ladies you have an innate responsibility and it is between your legs and to shut it to every man who does not live up to what you have envisioned as a man. It’s lonely I get it. It is 2022, Woman created the fucking game that men struggle so much to try and interpret. Seriously ladies, the amount of money that some men will spend to even have the courage to talk to you, dating coaches range from $60-150$ an hour, and then online profiles help. Speech coaching, it all adds up. Of course I am not wanting to say it is all about money, but of course ladies there is nothing sexier than a man with no ambition, or future goals, that lives on welfare…..with mom…gets me hard too. The misdirection of all this as I was describing previously is that women make up 70-80% of the purchasing power on all consumer purchasing. Think of your house, the only way this works if you are honest. Who had the most influence on the curtains, drapes, tile, wall coloring? Shit you cannot tell me that your man did not have some sort of influence from you on what house to buy or even the shirt he put on that day, and if you bought it for him you can fuck right off. Ladies again, you have no idea the power you possess over a man because historically you have been the best parts of our life, and our population as a species would not be double in size since the 1970’s if you were not already perfect. This blog was brought to you by the lady whose ass I was checking out in the coffee shop. You have inspired me, if not millions who may read this as you walked away.

Make Time For Reflections

Can’t really tell everyone to make the right decisions all the time. Decisions when your angry or stressed may not be the best way to go. Only way I can seem to make sense of it is when you make decisions in order to better yourself or your way of life, they are not usually small things that make you see the change. Believe me when I say I still think they are super important. Think of anyone you know with money or someone you idolize. They can still be fat, bald, short, ugly. No real parameters for the successful. Just that they make life decisions that impact in a big way. They see a life that they want and are willing to make certain changes or decisions in order to make that vision a reality. You have to make the big moves, which after the fact seem small because they just took a phone call or a meeting with someone that could make it happen. So why don’t we do these things? Are we afraid of what decisions we could have made all along, but never saw the light that was shining in our face THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME? Well I am no billionaire so maybe it is infrared and i’m just too broke to see the light without the right tools. We can really only make these kinds of decisions when we are ready. When you’re stressed or angry, it’s unlikely we will see what we need to do. You can be in stressful situations and still not be stressed. When the pressure builds and thinking is no longer a part of your voluntary action. Welp, that is when you use all your strength. The mind gives up way before the body. So just put one foot in front of the other and keep on going. I only say this because when you do have a chance to stop and reflect, and I mean really reflect, then things start to settle. When you’re on shift, you’re on, you’re working. When you’re off, you’re in the midst of reflection, like looking in a mirror thinking, what went right, what went wrong, how did I get to where I am and how do I move forward. No place like where I am now, forever I am in awe of how far I have come. If you don’t think you can move forward now, then be grateful for where you have been, reflect on that. Might just find that bit of light you were looking for. Bangov actual, out.

Stay Hungry

Ever been hungry before? Ever thought it through? I don’t mean for an hour so you can finish typing something up, or finish with a business call. When you’re hungry you have 2 options. Light snack to keep you going or just eat a big meal and hope it holds you over. Ignore your hunger for a little longer then it goes away. Don’t worry, it will always come back. Hunger never seems to be something we worry about. We never worry about the things that trigger a warning. You essentially are cutting out the middle men. You are not really worried about being worried. Yes I know this is very wordy, but really the only way I can describe it. Worry is defined as: give way to anxiety or unease; allow one’s mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. To give way into what we know is not the solution to a problem. So why do we do it? My opinion of course is that those who avoid problems at all cost will inevitably face something that is out of their expertise. They have never really molded the mind into thinking that it can face anything that comes its way. Of course it may be hard, but then again isn’t that the point? That is also the definition as a verb. As a noun the definition of a worry is: a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems. So we as people choose to feel a certain way based on no certainty at all. If you’re 100% confident about what is going to happen, then of course you have the right to worry. What makes me tingle is those who usually know 100% are not usually the ones who worry. Usually because they have seen the consequences. When you know the layers that break down as mistakes are made you mitigate risk by preparation. Preparation is defined as: the action or process of making ready or being made ready for use or consideration. This is the issue I have with procrastination as well, I will get to that in another blog. So prepare, plan, act and make it so that worry is mitigated. Do it over and over again. Your problems will only progress as you continue on in life. Some “big”, some , ”small” which I still don’;t necessarily buy into anymore. Big problems vs little problems, what is the difference. I think it is a way of describing problems coming from someone who worries too much. If they get to define the language being utilized then the wrong message is being sent about how I should react to certain situations. I’m thinking, ya, not following that person. How they communicate inspires problems in the future will always be measured by how “big” or “small” they are and not seen as opportunity. The opportunity of an issue or problem in my opinion is to be looked at as a learning experience. Big or small, don’t care, what is the solution. Small problems lead to big ones, just may take more of them. This to me is how to make something of quality. Can something be done to move forward? Or are we stopping because it is too big of a problem? Or too hard? All these words are things we say to limit our progress. We are hungry, so maybe we should stop? Worry sets in. Then we have already made our decision to give up. For those reading and can’t read between the fucking lines, I am not saying don’t eat. It is just to get you to think about why we stop things. Big, small, problems are problems, just think of solutions. Maybe I should start using trigger words in my writing. I’ll start saying these “obese” problems are getting out of hand. Hey man we got a “Fat” problem here ;since we’re on the topic of not eating and some jackass will read this and think it is all about him. Well keep your rolls in your pants, no need to get all bloated over this. Problems require solutions, it is how I like to say the lock to your key. If I really cared about the obesity problem in this country I would tell everyone to stop eating and chase something that is meaningful to you. More meaningful than that cake you’re death staring while trying to eat this paper….See what I did there? NO, because you’re still looking at the fucking cake. Find a purpose that keeps you off your fat ass and you will see all things holding you back like they were circled with a sharpie marker. That is my philanthropy for the day folks, Stay hungry, Bangov Actual, out.

Assholes Are Misunderstood (non sexual)

We know what we know and nobody can tell us different. This is a dangerous mentality. I have been very grateful to have had leadership and great teachers, who love what they do and are very passionate about what they teach and want to share with others. Really sucks  when a piece of shit has to prove to everyone that he is the baddest. I mean it is fun for me because I want to be the one to test him. Not saying he won’t pass my test. I am definitely not the baddest fucker around, nor do i pretend to be, but testing those who seem to think they are the best has always intrigued me. I want to spar, or I want to open up lines of communication to them. To see what they know and what they think is right. Treat everything as a learning experience and you will never waste a day in your life. We have all met assholes before, but maybe just like everyone else until you get to meet someone they may seem like an asshole. Ladies you cannot tell me that someone has misunderstood your man who you snuggle up to every night and think he is a mean person. He is big, has tattoos, drinks, likes angry music and cusses all the time. THAT IS LIKE HALF MY FRIENDS. Most of them are some of the funniest people I have ever met and like to have a good time. This is why I keep them around. They are also very hard workers, collaborative, smart, funny and very family oriented people. I am not saying go up and make friends with everyone around the bar. I will say if you open yourself up and let people surprise you then they probably will. They may even become good friends or even someone you can have a casual nod to when you see each other at the same bar. The concept of opening yourself up as well gives you an advantage, for my military people, (tactical advantage) in familiarizing yourself with an area and those around you. Setting the scene for you to be the person who does not come off as the aggressor, but wants everyone to have a good time. This is how people gravitate towards you, an better yet it is positive people feeding off your vibe. Stereotypes do keep you alive in some certain situations. So not saying to drop your guard, but you can always have a shield up while being inviting. Just takes practice and a willingness to open yourself up to new ideas and experiences. If you do this in a bar or public setting, which I hope is a safe setting. Don’t be making friends in back of allies, but in an environment where people are meeting and greeting, this may help in how you approach people of importance in your life. When you ask your boss for a raise. Discussing with potential clients, or even just creating connections with possible investors. This is what I would like to see others doing when trying to improve themselves. Paying attention to the “assholes” in the room. If you label them too quickly then it is your fault if you did not take the time to learn from them. If they are so confident in themselves then why wouldn’t you want to find out what they know? Very rarely is someone a bad person in this world. I mean an actual bad person. We are all trying to find our way in this world, but unless you enjoy or have the intent of hurting someone, and you just wish to make something out of your life then that means everyone else is just jealous when you have found the confidence that everyone wishes they had. I do jujitsu a few times a week and man is it fun to roll with those who you know are trying the hardest. Those who want to be the best. Of course if your intention is just to feel more confident or just get in better shape, then maybe the attitude they have is not for you. Those who really want to improve or even compete, they all tend to find each other on the mat. After a few months, you know who the challengers in the class are. You just decide is it a easy flow day I’m going to go roll with this group or am I going to roll with this group and really feel the soreness tomorrow. Some of you go to the gym, so ask yourself is it going to be a heavy lift day or an active rest day. Quit treating those you don’t agree with, or maybe have a different approach. They are not the enemy unless their sole intention is to hurt you. Some guys are just trying to make it to the next level. If this so-called “asshole” is so arrogant then maybe he would like to talk about himself. So go ask some questions. Military was so easy for me to pick out great leaders. All you had to do was ask a question to someone that was a higher rank than you. If it was a legitimate question about your job or a way to make yourself better, and they did not want to give you any knowledge. Then fuck that guy I won’t follow him anywhere. Leaders and those I would follow in the gates of hell were people who constantly wanted me to learn, take classes and if they did not know an answer they made sure and found it for you. Nobody likes assholes, but nobody likes the leader either. BanGov Actual, out.

What Does It Mean To Be A Veteran?

Someone asked me once what it meant to me to be a veteran. I assumed they meant military veteran, but let us define Veteran as the question was asked. Veteran is defined as: a person who has had long experience in a particular field, OR, a person who has served in the military. For those of you who don’t know I only give one or more definitions in order to better communicate a point. My intentions are strictly for better communication, and to open up the boundaries between myself and whoever will read this. This being a military service platform, both active and prior service, this is one question, when asked I did not just answer and then write a blog about it. I did answer the person who had asked as effectively as I could at the time. For this blog though many things have to be addressed. Those of you who read my blogs, I am never going to say that if you are not a veteran then you are not welcome. I will however say if you are not open to communicate, have a conversation and come to some sort of understanding or compromise, then we have nothing further to discuss. Veteran to me is an understanding that I have gone before to fight in someone else’s stead. For whatever freedoms you think are important to you. I have also been asked why do you think you fight for freedoms, when they are constantly being taken away from those who send you to the place to fight? Which is a good question. I’ve spoken about this with other Veterans and they as well are exhausted by government overreach. Remember this is BanGov for a reason. Veterans no longer are required to serve their country. Country is defined as: a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory. BanGov is no longer fighting for a country governed by those who choose what fight is necessary. BanGov is about fighting for a way of life for yourself. The pursuit of the individual is part of a decentralized theory that if everyone fights for their way of life they will inevitably respect everyone else’s. Continuously thinking that someone or something is continually holding you back from achieving is just an excuse for not trying. With this as a forethought then it is no wonder impoverished communities stay the way they are, and are told by their parents they have strikes against them and should just stick to the common complacency, WE HAVE ALL HEARD BEFORE!!. Go to school, work hard, go to college, get a good job, pay your bills, get married, have children, and then die knowing that you achieved what everyone else has been brainwashed into believing is the importance when nobody even asked what you wanted out of life. Anything outside of that you are considered and outcast by your peers, even if they may think the same way but are too afraid to ask. What does it mean to me to be a veteran, it means I have a basic understanding of what it means to put foot to ass for a way of life and as your neighbor be sure that if any group of individuals no matter their way of life, if it is in their interest to disrupt yours then the foot to ass mentality shall be visited once more. Insert Tom Cruise, Scorched Earth, Tropic Thunder video here. Unless of course they wish to discuss a way of life that we can agree on that I may like better. I mean round of drinks and just ask, “hey, what kind of weird shit are you into?” Now never losing my brothers or sisters in combat related incidents, but just maybe we can agree that some of those that we have served with are lost on what to do when they get out of the service. Which to me is problem numero uno (number one). To me telling someone that has dedicated their life to service and was willing to give it up for however long in defending it, 2 years, 20 years and then tell them they no longer have to serve. Well you have basically told them they have no purpose anymore. Never did I hear when getting out I should continue my service to others. It was them saying I was free, I could do whatever I wanted, I could be whomever I wanted. Well no fucking shit, I didn’t think I went to jail. I still was working and doing things for money other than the military. I didn’t only just have one purpose. I wasn’t in a prison sentence because I couldn’t have any other ambitions. This to me is what prior military struggle with more than anything is a lack of self worth when they think the fight is over and because they no longer take orders from those with their own agenda. Now obviously I am no doctor, or mental health specialist, CLEARLY. I can read though, and mental health is defined as: a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being. This is not just for Veterans, this is for all who need something to hold onto. Reality may feel like it is slipping away, I have been there. How you think or feel about yourself matters. So tend to THINK positively about yourself and what you are capable of, and trust that the FEELING will come with time. Again, what does it mean to me to be a Veteran? Well while day in and day out I’ll continue to work on myself. I will adapt skills, and really try to define a purpose for myself as an individual. Patiently waiting for the inevitable future when those who try to impede on my way of life or those of my community. My rifle will be oiled and ready when they no longer wish to talk. This is BanGov Actual, and I live to serve. BanGov Actual, OUT!

Do You Fear Questions, Or Answers?

Watching kids be kids while you’re trying to get your haircut is all the entertainment I need. Their resilience as the older brother tries to assert his dominance with a close fist and brute force reminds me of my younger days. A barbaric way to live, I will admit it does not get you very far. Compliance is defined as: the action or fact of complying with a wish or command. Watching 2 little ones vs the bigger brother all came down the barber handing them a few lollipops. Instantly we had peace and quiet while they munched on them for as long as they lasted. Which begs the question: what are some things that we comply with as adults? This is not me telling anyone to break the law. This is asking what questions we ask ourselves that instill fear that have no consequence. Why does asking questions instill a fear that has been developed through a superiority complex? Does not matter their stature, if they just choose to not answer, or say “I don’t know” then what is the harm in the question? As adults we comply with things everyday that keep us in line. Also don’t get it twisted, I’m not saying don’t pay your bills, rent or pay off loans you chose to take out. You chose to have a higher car payment than you could afford, or a bigger house or if you’re under the impression you can’t live without your Netflix subscription, then please stop reading and get off my site. No room for those not willing to make sacrifices in order to rise above their problems. Most common problem I have seen with being compliant is nobody want to take the time to do research. Impatience drives them into a deeper hole. They want everything right now, and they want it without thinking could things be better? This also helps with delayed gratification. Besides the everyday essentials, and for some may be more than food and water, but besides that which you need to survive, what do we really need in order to succeed? In my opinion not much of anything unless what we are trying to succeed requires a purchase. If you learn to push aside the things you want for a little while. Let’s say a new PlayStation costs 300 dollars. Then you’re only tuned to the cost in front of you. When you are tuned to what could be made from a lifestyle change. Move some things around to create an avenue of income you could possibly buy one Xbox a month every month. The things you want and the things you need to do in order to get them are 2 different decisions. Video games are a cost, now you need to fuel that cost. Buying new games every so often, which you can afford now because you’ve created a stream of income for it. Same with a new car or truck. You need the gas and maintenance, maybe create a stream of income to cover those costs as well. Residual income, maybe a raise you’ve NEVER ASKED FOR. Change in your life begins with asking questions. It helps with giving you direction. Take the first step and don’t stop till you’ve found what you’re looking for. You may walk in circles, you may take left and rights, but you’re always going to be farther than those still deciding on if they should make a move. For those whose objective is to control other people’s way of life, I have something for you to suck on. Bangov Actual, out.
