A Metallicman Video Narrative; Home in Zhuhai 1

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Well, this is my first try at making a Vblog. I hear that it is a popular thing to do and I am told that I could open up an account on You-Tube and get a bunch of followers. Well, maybe. If I wanted that.

So I made a video.

It’s of my neighborhood.

Well, actually, it’s a string of around 12 or so, 2 to 5 minute long videos that I have zipped together in a folder. You just unpack and watch at your pleasure.

For me, it’s nothing fancy. Yet when I show glimpses of my life to others outside of China, they seem to like it. Cool, I guess. So… this is just myself walking around the neighborhood; my house, and filming it while I discuss the world around me. I hope that you like it.

The theme behind this video (or collection of smaller videos)  is “the feeling in China is near identical to the feeling that I had while a small boy living in the USA in the 1960’s”.

The videos themselves are but a collection of short movies, and they are all zipped up. You just unzip to a folder and then just play the movies. It’s not as convenient as You-tube, but I won’t end up getting shadow banned either.

This is all pretty much unlike the typical expat in China vblogs that visit this town, or that town and talk about what they observe. I do that as well, but overall, this effort is about me and where I live. It’s purpose and intention is to get you, the viewer, a “feeling” of the environment as opposed to someone watching a narrated adventure.

I do narrate, but … well, you watch.

I really want you, the viewer, to “feel” what “my China” is like. It’s my reality. It’s my world. And, by extension, MM readers / followers’ world as well.

The entire video set can be downloaded HERE. But, it’s super large at 392 MB. And many computers cannot download it due to the cache memory size, or clutter in their browsers. Like your’s truly.

So… Here’s the MM version. For me, I need to download things in smaller mouth-fulls.

Or if you keep on getting errors, you can download the file in small batches and then go folder by folder.

Yes, I can add streaming video code instead. And I am researching it. The thing is that I do not want code that is connected to the American oligarchy in any way. And most available codes are. 

Sure, you can host the video on your site, but the video will be directly tied to Google, which is then tied to the NSA, which is then under the control of the American Federal Government. So I am looking into this. 

I'll keep you all posted on my successes or failures in this matter. Maybe I'll ask Jeff Brown for some pointers....

To Open the Files

Just unzip to whatever folder you want and then just play the first video, the other videos will play immediately afterwards (if you follow the default settings on your OS). Most videos are between  one and a half to four minutes long. All told, it’s roughly 45 minutes in total.

Or around 12 minutes per VLOG group (1 through 4) for the bite-size MM version that I used to test on my computer.

I really hope that you are not too bored.

How the videos are set up

The first video starts off quiet and then I break out into my narrative. I really, and sincerely hope that you all can get the real “feel” for China like I have. And understand WHY I say that it reminds me so much about what the United States was like back in the late 1950’s, and early 1960’s.

Some key points

One of the things that I am trying to get across is that China reminds me of what America used to be. Whether it was the 1950’s, 60’s or 70’s. It clearly has something, a “feeling”, a pace of life, a way of living, a society that has long evaporated away in the United States.

I argue that what America is today is a direct reflection on it’s leadership. And the fact that the leaders are not smart, (are terribly corrupt and behave as psychopathic fiends with no shame or attempt to hide their behaviors) reinforces this point. For them, being surrounded by sycophants and other psychopaths they are unable to see what they have created or the world that they live in is not good. It is not healthy and it is most certainly, not normal.

A Metallicman 1960’s America.

Ah.

You could reasonably argue that I miss the old culture, and the older styles of cars, clothing and other attributes of the past. you could say that I miss the prices and my now dead relatives. I suppose that many of those points are actually true. But with every good point, is an equally bad point.

And I suppose that people would argue that I am looking with fondness of the past. And it’s true, I am. But what I am describing is the “feeling” of that time. And I am comparing it to the “feeling” that I have now.

Today, here inside of China, no one is on the radio, or on the internet yelling at me to buy! Buy! Buy!. It’s only $98.98.

I am not hearing from radio, television or the internet about all sorts of emergency dangers and that the world is out of control.I don’t hear advertisements that ask if I am depressed, have marital or legal problems, or how great a pill will help me in my life.

Instead I hear that things are under control, and I see that with my very own two eyes. There’s a calmness in the air that I haven’t experienced since the 1960’s, and it is refreshing to experience it.

I hope that you too are able to experience it in my VLOG herein.

A “real” car. From Shorpy.com.

Compare my reality with American reality

While I was filming these videos, this is the hysteria going on in America. Now compare reality against the perception of what is important via the “news”.

I mean, don’t you know, that it’s all bullshit.

So I am just gonna hang out here. Have a few beers, and eat some delicious food with some friends, both old and new. And that’s my reality.

Do you want more?

“…. leaders are not smart, (are terribly corrupt and behave as psychopathic fiends with no shame or attempt to hide their behaviors) ”

Not very different from a typical third world country leadership.

Monkey see, monkey do. Third world countries leaders have zero shame in lying, looting country resources. Sure, it’s a democratic country and that’s the most important thing, isn’t it?

America’s leadership in a nutshell. It is SO sad seeing what America once was just devolve into what it is today. Since Clinton it’s one worse clown after the other.

thanks for taking us on a stroll through your neighbourhood with commentary – what is most striking to me is the health and vitality of the luscious plants and trees, the care and attention of the streets free from litter. It is really refreshing and feels surprisingly tranquil for a large city.

Being a bird lover, what I noticed on a visit to friends in Berlin were the prevalence of jays and buzzards in the city – you see more foxes in the city of Glasgow than you do here in the Scottish Highlands!

Look forward to more video insights of your environment in China in the future – cheers MM

Thanks for that AJ. I didn’t know if anyone else would appreciate the birds and the trees. I just wish that you could smell the fragrances. It’s truly lovely.

Really loving the area! Beach life is AWESOME! The propaganda against China in the USA is really reaching a fever pitch. Every time I hear it I always role my eyes. Planning on moving far away from the USA very soon. I want to live in China myself and have been checking out places. I have been doing intention prayers for several years now and things are really starting to come together for me to be able to leave and renounce US citizenship.

The fact that the government wants people living there to be successful is amazing to me. Everything in the US is pushing me out. People need to go where they are treated best.

And you are so right the tension in the USA is insane. People are going crazy in the US and the news keeps pushing fear fear fear all day long. Its disgusting.

My your affirmations come true. Whatever you do make sure that your affirmations concentrate on the END RESULT, not the HOW to get there.

Or in other words, don’t have a campaign that says for a lot of money to buy a car, so that you can attract women. Concentrate on what will happen after you have attracted the ladies. Don’t dance around the house, playing in the lawn. Go up to the front door, open it and walk inside the house. Do you get my drift?

Also US city infrastructure is extremely dilapidated and will remain that way for as long as the corrupt is in charge. For example there is a reason people are leaving New York City in droves. China has out competed the US when it comes to city building and city management. US cities are mismanaged hellholes.

WOW! First thanks for giving people like me a chance to see what I really don’t think about (horribly, to be honest) and that is just seeing a gorgeous area with people just being people. I swear all I hear (even from an estranged family member who adopted 3 kids from China) is how horrible it is. Smog, crowds… everything that this presentation is not.

What struck me though (I only watched the 1st so far) was how you can get that close behind someone without them jumping and looking at you. Does that make sense? Approach people from behind – even in my small town-and you get that jumpy “look”.

I do have 2 questions if you do not mind… 1-how long did it take you to learn the language and 2-was it difficult to really adjust or was it more of just a relief after your work? The other – and I mea REAL striking thing was how clean it was – is that typical or did the -powers that be – the ones that got you there-pick out that place for you?

I’m sure you covered this in a post and if you did – I just haven’t got there yet-but just from the small amount I have read – I know you did HUMANITY an Un fathomable amount, but how about them?

Did you get the feeling like your last slide (if that’s what it was) was like – custom made for you?

I saw some of the ladies you posted on the “get to know China by its ladies” pages and every woman has a beautiful chest. (Hey-I’m a guy)

I remember one of your posts with a pic of your ideal woman-very pretty face, huge chest-trust me I am there but we’re they like “hey, let’s let MM go here with this… he did a good job, let’s take care of him” kind of thing? Sorry for all the questions. Just curious. Thank you again!

So many questions, and I do appreciate them. So I am going to give you some quick answers because unfortunately (at this moment) I am pressed for time.

[1] Getting close to others is no big deal. China has five or six times the population of the Untied States and in the cities during rush hour, it is wall to wall people. In general, the Chinese are people who have no problem getting up really close to you. In fact, it took me a while to get used to people standing in line so close together that they are actually breathing on your neck. It does take some getting used to.

[2] How long did it take to learn the language? Well, I started studying it when I was in prison. And I bought books and the prison authorities removed the CD Roms, but I could read the text and I practiced writing and reading as best I could between working on the “Hoe Squad” and doing hard labor. Aside from doing my labor punishments, that’s all I did was five years of studying. Then after I exited prison, I tried to practice my Chinese and discovered that people wanted to speak English with me. By not speaking Chinese, my social position was elevated. Anyways, Now, I am proudly able to say that I can speak in an elementary manner, and can read and write at about a 30% level. It takes time. For me, being in my 60’s it’s remarkably difficult. But for a younger guy like you, you might be able to pick it up in a few months in full immersion. Many others have. Now, that being stated, there are some latent Chinese language skills that apparently have been programmed in my brain somewhere. Which is why when I ‘woke up”, I was screaming in Chinese. But it was never part of my day-to-day personality. It was part of another totally different compartmentalized personality. So while it resided inside my brain somewhere, I was not able to access it, and still cannot, not really unless I flick-a-switch and activate that personality.

[3] Was it easy to adjust? Super easy. I went from eating gruel and working on the chain gang to being respected in a land of merit. I adapted, and did so lovingly. Oh, some habits took a while to change, but once I hooked up with my old girlfriends, and my old business associates, everything fell into place. Within two weeks of arrival, I had my own apartment, a temporary job, food in the refrigerator, friends, and I was going out, eating, drinking and having a really good time at it.

[4] Everywhere in China is clean. And yes there are dirty and smoggy areas. All you need to do is live in an industrial area. But people take care of their environment. And to answer your question; I am here as a reward for my decades of service. And now that I am here, the personal tweaks that I make are due to my verbal affirmation campaigns. I run a one month cycle; on and off. One month on and one month off.

[5] I have a fondness for large chests on ladies, that’s a personal preference. Now, when I was in Arkansas the fucking DA and morons in Arkansas made the argument that I came to China (in my past) to have wild and crazy sex with poor-helpless waifs that look like pre-adolsenct children. When the actual truth is that no one looks like that. The Chinese are the Han race. They have chests. Some of which are absolutely magnificent. It took me a while to understand that most Chinese ladies and culture find large chests to be unattractive. They like a “fish shape” body, and so they minimize the chest. If a girl has a large chest she will tend not to wear a bra, but instead would put this elastic band or wrap around her chest to minimize the size. In general, most women in China has a nice chest, sort of like what American ladies have. The only exception is that the nipples are more pronounced, and larger. But that, like the eye shape is a Han characteristic.

All in all, my life in Zhuhai is not for everyone, but for me it meets the criteria that I established way back in 1981 when I joined MAJestic. And I love my life, the pace of life and the fun that I have with friends and family, and I can tell you the truth that it is light-years different from the United States.

You asked “hey, let’s let MM go here with this… he did a good job, let’s take care of him” kind of thing?” And I will tell you that yes. This is the reward for my decades of service. I know it is because of the events that I experienced during my retirement in ADC Pine Bluff, where I had these “experiences”, and one of them was of a beautiful girl in a beach area who promised me that this will be my reward. You can read about that HERE, and the second part HERE..

“The promise of a new life; After proceeding through ten closure programs; ten figurines, I stood facing the frozen Asian girl figurine.”

Please take the time to watch the rest of the video segments; all four parts. Tell me what you think when you finish.
