No, that’s not it. It much simpler than that, and much more sensational. The Montauk Monster continues to grab headlines! Happy July 4, you charred raccoon… or whatever you are… I can understand that the creature has its image to think about. And considering how much the paparazzi pay for photographs anymore (Where’s TMZ when you need them?) – it’s a great way to earn some spread and stay ahead of bill collectors. I had the unfortunate occasion to come into contact with bill collectors years ago, and each of them struck me as the type of people who would jump at the chance to set up an automatic deduction with a dried rat dog. If the Montauk Monster needs money to beat back the freaks, I say a payday loan (or payday loans) pave a great path. But once the public discovers the creature’s history, perhaps they’ll realize that all of this (except the payday loans part) is dumb-butt stupid.

Ancestral history – Um, OK

Russell Drumm writes in the East Hampton Star that the Montauk Monster is not a fluke. In fact, it’s history may date back 100 years, when a strange creature was discovered in a Montauk fish trap. The Star reported on it then, too, he says:

Great excitement has been caused by the finding, in a fish trap off Montauk, of what is declared to be a sea serpent measuring 22 feet in length, having a neck six feet long and a tail about eight feet. It is considered the greatest discovery of the kind ever made on the east end of Long Island, and seems to prove beyond a doubt that the sea serpent is not a myth, as everyone supposed, but a verity.

Verily, ’twas a verity. Aliens are among us, and we don’t need Rowdy Roddy specs to see them.

A ceremony worthy of Beowulf

Then there’s Camp Hero on Plum Island. Rumors have been spread about bizarre animal experiments that involve time travel, but the reality of the situation is that veterinarians have trained there. What about the guys who found a dead raccoon around Shelter Island? Reports indicate they put it in a child’s floaty and lit the beast on fire, Viking funeral-style. Post-immolation, it washed up on shore at Montauk, in front of Surfside restaurant. That seems plausible, and fun. A cell phone picture of the carcass has filled cyberspace with Montauk Monster fever. The symptoms are a fascination with the bizarre and a total inability to pee straight.

Sliced by a vorpal blade

Was there really a caravan of giant walrus cows in the Montauk marina? It was the summer of 1998. Back then, the creature turned out to be a manatee over 1,000 miles off course. How did it get here? Was it spirited away to Montauk by the ghost of Rod Serling? Was Miyazaki-san involved?

1909 – The Year of the Serpent

The newspapers raged over the topic. Sea creatures grabbed headlines in The Star, The Brooklyn Eagle, and The Suffolk Times, writes Drumm. Everyone was weighing in with their ideas as to what the next strange creatures discovered in the area was. Oarfish, not a serpent. Or perhaps a whip-tail shark. “Experts” appeared and floated their theories, which served only to whip readers into a frothy state of suspicion. What are newspapers for, anyway? The fisherman I cited at the beginning of this story was inundated with requests for photos, but he had none to give. Following the trail, The Star used their journalistic moxie to discover the following:

The fish is no longer on exhibition, because John Barre, who found it, thinks that the people are making more money out of it than he is, and so he has placed the serpent up in the garret of his house and now anybody who wants to see it or take pictures of it must pay his price. The figure quoted for taking pictures of it was $25.

A heft sum in those days, but Mr. Barre knew how to milk a cash cow. If payday loans had existed then, people would have used them to reserve their sports in line. Think of all the payday loans that would have circulated. What a miracle this think commerce is… Related Video:

Online installment loans have existed for plenty of years, and so has human’s perception of actions. Over years, we store names, numbers, faces, personalities, attitudes, tastes, smells, and sounds. Isn’t it just fabulous to be able to utilize the power of your memory? But where does your past lead you? Do you feel as if you are on the right track in your career or your relationships?

Sort it out

Here are a few ways to sort out the events in your past that have paved the way for your future, the instances that developed you into who you are now, the foundation of your ego. The question is: is your foundation as stable as you’d like it to be?

Form conclusions

Here are some ideas that might help you form conclusions on your present thoughts, animalistic and uncontrolled behavior traits, and feelings based on past perceptions that are lodged in your present observation.

Can You Feel It…?

Scientific study has proven that meditating, or concentrating on an experience from your childhood can actually cause the floodgates of your memory to open up, giving you a sort of “extreme flash back” feeling.

There is a simple way to focus on your past experiences and actually feel them, as though they are happening in the present time.

Be More Observant

Whenever you are sitting in your car, try to focus on the feeling on the car seat against the back of your thighs. Pay attention to the soft sway of the vehicle’s movements, and the smells that are present in the car. Observe the sights all around you, small details, such as lint in the corner of the leather seats you’re sitting on or a bobble head doll sitting in the backseat window. Did you notice the no fax installment loan advertisement for Personal Money Store on the seat near you? These are all important details when learning how to reconstruct instances from your past.

Train Your Mind

Training your mind isn’t difficult to do at all. Actually, it can be a great mental exercise as well as relaxing experience.

Sit down in a straight backed chair or lie down on the floor. Both of these positions assist in keeping your spine straight and reduce discomfort during your meditation time.

Next, start to breathe deeply. In order to breathe deeply you must inhale with your abdomen by slowly pushing your stomach out while you inhale. It should look like a balloon being filled with air. Once your lungs feel filled to capacity, hold your breath for a count of four and then slowly exhale. When you do this, you will feel an overwhelming sense of relaxation, but try and remain focused on the exercise you’re performing.

After breathing deeply for about 5 minutes, start to recreate a moment from your day. Just like in the example used earlier, you could recreate the car that you rode in. Remember the leather, bobble head doll, sounds, smells, and sights? It’s time to place them all together in your mind, like a puzzle.

Practice Makes Perfect

Spend at least 15 to 30 minutes a day creating different events from your day in your mind’s eye, actually feeling the fabric of clothing you wore, the smells, and sounds you heard. After a week, or until you feel comfortable with the starter exercise, you should be ready to go back in time!

It starts to come together

This is just the beginning of realizing how successful entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and career professionals maintain victory over their present rewards and failures based on their understanding of past events.

Let’s say your friend spilled some hot soup on your lap when you were sick. You were so upset, yet your parents didn’t yell or get mad at your friend. You felt as if your mom and dad didn’t back you up. Now, as an adult, you constantly run yourself ragged finding ways to back up your childhood’s choices. As you grew up, you remember the event as a dream but keep the emotions from it locked inside your subconscious mind. When remembering every detail of the accident, you remember the spilled bowl, the sound of it hitting the floor, the smell, the heat on your thighs. Once all of these incidences are remembered with clarity, you can make judgments on what they mean to you from an adult perspective. This makes the situation easier to dissect and handle from that time on.

Maybe soon you’ll be able to travel into the future and see if any financial troubles will arise. Luckily for you, you remember the advertisements for those installment loans, so you’ll be ready.
