Oh My Goodness

Inner space discoveries

An under-sea city - discovered from space. They are looking for funding to explore on the ground (so to speak) er under the sea on the bottom. Location a secret - but some Caribbean island probably owns it. Wow! nice to know where to buy up some real estate. Someone knows already, no doubt. The proper records search should show where property sales pace has recently picked up. The things I could do if I had $ and/or motivation! The picture is compelling. I'm trying to figure out how to request news on this subject to be delivered to me regularly. Maybe after some sleep :)

Religion

. . .belief in invisible beings, inaudible voices, intangible entities, undetectable forces, and events and judgments that happen after we die.
Straight from the DSM IV

"And therefore, it still disables reality checks... making people more vulnerable to oppression, fraud, and abuse."

An alternate view:

Society Without God

Whoopee! Who needs to tweet when I only wanna talk to myself, anyway!

Just a little test of my new mobile bloggerama!

The more things change. . .

Joe Stalin's grandson is suing a Moscow newspaper for libel for saying his papa ordered the death of thousands. Jean Sarkozy, 23, son of the French President, is about to be appointed head of the richest, most powerful business group in central Paris. Cries of nepotism, and 'dynasty' abound. Thanks to BBC America. Can no longer get channel 32, Russia Today news. They were way too real, in our US un-real news. Gone off the cable.

Needed: a catastrophe

If this is not a red flag . . . If the Goddess is listening. . . If we don't blow ourselves up, we will destroy the human genome with chemicals. A civilization leveling event is in order. Not necessarily a species obliteration (that'd be us) but certainly any one of the easily forseeable events now on the horizon. Catastrophic climate overload; a stray nuke, in, say, the Panama Canal; eruption of the Yellowstone subduction zone. I'm really gonna have to live to 120 ! to see if all my predictions come about. 60 more years. groan smile I'd better start working out heh heh heh.

Ground Control to Major Tom

NASA crashed the LCROSS really big rocket into a dark crater near the pole on the moon. Idea is to blast a bunch of surface material into space so they could analyze it for content - water, hopefully, and other hydrogen compounds. It all happened around 04:00 but I just watched it on the DVR. Watching the craters of the moon growing larger and larger as the craft descends put me in mind of the vastness of the universe, and my infinitesimal size in relation to it all. Really - take a second or two: picture it all expanding outward from your center; be overwhelmed!

Jarrod

Andrew's Best Friend Forever died in a car crash last night. For about 4 hours this morning I didn't know where Andrew was. Jarrod was his single Mom's only child; they were probably as close as Joe and I were during his younger teens. I can't even partially imagine the pain. I believe I would still be screaming. Andrew and one of the "girl" friends and her mom were en route to J's house by 11AM and there now, still, I imagine. Leah says Mom is a woman of faith, and I do pray her church folk are there for her. Perhaps that would make her way a bit easier.

I do believe there are other dimensions we can pass to. I believe light and learning abound there. We scream only for ourselves in this one, even knowing that. Leah said she was going to urge Andrew to spend the night there (if Mom wanted) and my first thought was: knowing that "other" little boy - young man - was in that room and MY SON WOULD NEVER be there again would kill me. I'd scream all night, as well. I don't even know this woman, never met her, but the urge to hug her and cry with her is overwhelming me right now. There will be those close to her doing that right now, again I pray.

Andy Borowitz: Palin-Prejean Alliance Predicted in Book of Revelations

According to Dr. Logsdon, in 1555 Nostradamus predicted the alliance between the two right-wing beauties when he wrote, "The slayer of beasts shall meet the barer of breasts."

Or somebody. . . I've been clicking through for so long, I've lost track; the page is here

The dog is outside alone -no kitty to chase- enviously listening to, and I suppose , smelling, the party going on a notch or two down the hill in back. Such a social creature, my darling dog. She deserves more than me.

Just what we need-a new drug

just what the world needs. NightLine just did a story on South Africa where the latest fad is smoking Anti Retro Virals. It appears to be a stupifying, violence inducing high. ARVs are plentiful (and cheap thanks to a US group sponsoring them) due to SA having the highest HIV rate in Africa. As a little kicker, the ARVs have no prophylactic effect when smoked, but they do introduce enough of the ARV to the person to produce a resistance to ARV drugs when introduced to treat HIV.

I see the planet entering a long period of die off of all species, all the way up to the top of the food chain. So, the next generation of HIV persons will not have any extended period of life -perhaps to not infect others? And of course, to create ARV resistant HIV strains. Every single other STD has rigorous reporting and notifications required. Which shows you how powerful the gay lobby was in the 80's when the plague first manifested at large. I know that is not politically correct, but truth is truth. I am the most gay LGBT person on the planet, claiming a couple of those initials myself, but let's be real folks. I believe the Mother has no intention of letting Herself be sucked lifeless by the parasites upon her.

She relentlessly kills off entire populations with flood, fire, wind, pestilence. Maybe She even effects the mental state of our leaders who start lethal/illegal conflicts. Certainly the brains of the young, disaffected males who shoot up groups of their peers on a regular basis.

Which could bring me back to fretting over Pakistan, a severely dysfunctional state, with nuclear capabilities and one of the most sexually repressed religions on the planet. Combined with the other Muslim states, the potential for "Let's Play Global Thermonuclear War" All that excess testosterone. Oh my.

Another WOW moment

After a day spent watching Obama's inaugural everything, crying, laughing, crying some more. . .

Quel surprise!! Qaddafi, who seems to have achieved a sort of wisdom in his old age, offers a solution to the Israel/Palestine dilemma. I can hardly wait to see the reactions of the Mid-East bloggers I follow. Also to read the historians' take on the veracity of his points.
