To Be Or Not To Be
It must be the polen within the air.
All kidding aside today was a busy day with a variety of things that I had to do. In a good manner. We still have a little bit of snow still and hopefully within a few weeks we shall render spring.
Spring is that time where everything thrives and before too long it shall be here. Hopefully sooner than later. I had met this gal a little while ago and I am thinking of trying to rekindle things. Mind you I don't wish to impose. You know one that just keeps calling and calling so I thought I would send her an email and see what comes back. It's not an avoiding thing as I just thought it might very well be worth the try. So we shall see.
One never wants to come across the wrong way and I am a little reserve. I think that is probably a good thing so it's all within an email. And that is where I leave it and if something comes back well - we shall see what comes from there. The art of love or the meaning of love. But this all started in meeting her within while at a grocery store and who knows where this shall go. As we get older, we get a little wiser and there are no repercussions but there is something to be said as to how a man approaches a women. I am old schoolish if that is a word and I am not that type that rushes into things but with her I thought about here today while I was on my way home and I thought to myself - why not.
So we shall see how this goes. I am not going to sit and wait on it nor am I going to do anything more than what I have done by way of one email and we shall see what comes about from it. So I guess this falls into that "here we go again". But it's all within the effort and to miss something that might be there - I would certainly not wish to wander off from the chance. She is nice, she is smart and I think she is reserve as well so we shall see within a few days of what the outcome is.
To be or not to be - you never really know unless you do that simple effort of trying within a manner that is that of your own.

A Question Within These Times - DO WE
Yes
No
Remarks:
I know some may and some may not but I will not place out the outcome until a few days pass. Right now I thought I would post out a question to all from all areas and walks of life. I know that some are clannish and some are not. My mission is not to do harm it's to get a feel within these times. I have been polling but that is my own manner. As I was interested to see what all do think. The best I can do is ask everyone on there thoughts on this. I myself have my own thoughts on this and I am sure or certain that you do as well hence the question if I may. And I shall never indicated who said what. I shall only indicated the numbers and that is all. It might be too much to ask but I shall state my thoughts as well on Lybia and they will not be contrived by the means of newspaper.
I know it's much to ask, yet it would be nice to see what others are thinking on this very subject. It merely takes one vote. Nothing more.
* Often I ponder if it's appropriate to do this as I am not trying to turn anyone off by any means.
That I promise you.

While Visiting My Old Dorm
It was a day that amazed me by surprise. I had been doing some sideline work back at my old dorm and when I was leaving. I thought I would leave outside of the chapel. I took a look around the place and not too much has changed. The "stacks" which is the library was all the same. Actually when you come right down to it there was not much that had changed. When I first arrived back here there were it was a time that was nostalgic. As I was seeing the first dorm that I had stayed at and I have been there and on the "grounds" of the university several times.
We always used this chapel at night and we would study for our exams within our first year. Nothing much changed there yet back in that time the chapel went unused for years.
When I was leaving with a few things that I wished to get done by way of my laptop. I decided that I would leave by way of the fastest manner which was through this chapel. Before you know it there was several Japanese and I thought I might get a shot if best. And here there was an ongoing service about to take place in honour of those in Japan. I sat down and talked with this one gentleman and he explained out how he went from being raised from a Shinto family of faith. And then he upon arriving out here in the West. He made a transition. But our talk was on the premise of all that was happening in Japan. Not negative, not one word did he utter of loss but more so of the power within belief and looking at things within the best manner.
Thereafter, my curiosity had got the best of me as people started to slowly come in and I met this lady whom has two sisters that are still over there in Japan. We spoke and she indicated to me what she hoped and wished for within a very good english. He hopes were for that of the best. What was part of my thoughts were primarily in getting people out of the country. Yet I would never say that - I did not wish to breach any respect as I am sure that this had been on there minds several times.
I never would have thought that I would have walked into what I had. As actually more that I had in mind was having the opportunity to do a respectable interview with the CEO of the university as he shall be stepping down from his position soon. But this was one of those coincidences that I can't say was depressing. If anything it was nice to learn and talk and pay that respect.
I still do feel for this lady and all that she had told me. For she had a conviction and regardless of what turns out over there. For some reason they are at ease with it all. There is something to be said about people within the hardest of times. Seemingly they bring about the best within in them and possibly that is due to the value and faith.
As this was not a planned situation but it was something far beyond that. I left the gentleman and the lady with a kind gesture of thank you in Japanese. Leaving with understanding how coincidences even like this can take place.
In Honour of Japan - Little did I know. Video.avi

I went to the university and went to my own dorm to do some work by way of laptop.While leaving I thought I would leave and take a look within my this small little chapel that most all of us would study in.
Today I was surprised to find that there was a service for the Japanese by this smallchapel. It took me way by surprise and I never would have thought that I ran into the people that I did but this is a small video and I thought I would share it as I was very surprised as I never thought that there was catholics and this one gentleman came to this land several years ago.
What I did find that while I had a date time line. That there were rituals of a variety of faiths praying three days a week for Japan. It's remarkable and I shall return. As this was a surprise. Yet there is so much more to say with regards to this. Yet what I felt was that this was something of worth. As I left there were more and more students coming in and it was not something I was prepared for to say the least yet it was something of faith and
good wish.
And yes it's rather short. Yet worthwhile. Much more that worthwhile really.
I had no intention of this and I would have never thought that upon leaving this past residence of mine where I do sometimes have a place from which to write. I was truly amazed. I am not united but it really didn't matter.
I loaded this wirelessly and I was taken by all this. And I shall write on more with regards to it and perhaps then some. There is a differentiation between what is happening within Japan and in those other parts of the world.
This authentically was amazing and I was the last to think I would find this taking place. So again while I was leaving, I thought I would leave out the chapel doors and then this happened and it's rare that I will pass by something of this kind especially.

Those Weekend Journeys
I love the weekend and the journeys that come about. Yesterday I was out and I wanted to visit this one person I had met a while back he owns and group of Arabian horses and I took my run. I hope the weather does take a change here pretty soon. As on the weekends thats the time where I head out and one finds the most interesting things. So I took a few pictures and on this computer has been acting up but it's that enjoyment. I remember very well two years ago being to this person's acreage and the horses were something to see to say the least.
Today I have just cleaned and actually had a very nice day. All in all but I know I need to tend to another few things this week and that is about it. As when I get on here it's very hard to catch up but I am trying to do that right now and - I wish I knew how to post more than one picture within my blog entry but simple is simple does.
Here in Canada we are facing another election. It's rather redundant if you ask me. But they called it. And Canadian politics can be rather bizarre to say the least. The above picture is one arabian horse we are still waiting for that spring. But all things considered this has been a very decent Sunday as most often I am out and on with so many things where it's been an enjoyable weekend.

~ The Trail of Discovery ~
The Trail of Discovery
View the stream
All straight and crooked
A hidden energy seemingly pulling
At a speed just barely visible
Discover the air about
Fluidly as it pushes
Against a soothing surface
Find the tangle of small willows
With leaning reflections
And there too the stones
Ahead on the bank
Slight movements
Gently mirror the way
Where water meets air
Within the climate of the calm
See the swallows
Skimming along the water's surface
Twisting their narrow wings to rise
Without a thought nor surprise
All these and more
Encompassed with robust depths
From within and be more
Within find One
All encompassed without surprise
For there lays the foundation
Of true discovery
~ jgs ~
We Think and We Share

Pardon moi as this computer or multiply has been acting up. But there is one thing that comes to mind. There are so many concerns so many matters that are happening within the world. I find that sometimes all the matters within the times can have an impact on our very lives.
Appreciation, I appreciate all that made a comment with regards to this secret of mind that I shared. I have come to realize that I do avoid some matters I don't place everything on here but at the same time I enjoy the reads and writes. I don't nor ever wished to be a reporter yet I find the ways of the world to be something that is amazing. That human condition. We all send out thoughts our own vibes if you will and in some manner and in some way shape or form we are all sharing things. We are sharing the things that are of importance, we are sharing things that perhaps as well at times we do have a consideration to not offend another. Some are very bold and some are without pretense.
Regardless of how one writes or otherwise is to their very own. It's the enjoyment and as I did mention what was bothering me yesterday. I do appreciate the responses.
I come back here and I so often think of what to write and more often than usual it comes by way of a word, or a thought. And how it does apply to myself. I don't wish to prove anything but I do wish to extend my gratitude as so often I find that we seemingly are the ones that slowly we come to know each other all within the "stairs" in which we walk within our lives.
I am not sure about you but there are times that there come to be a connection with others a bond that creates and we are not all together sitting and rambling on with our own stories - but what we are doing is writing out our own stories and then some all within our own blogs.
~ It's nice ~
A Numerous Pictorial Set

I thought that I would go back into, "now and then". Each picture has it's own
meaning. As well as some actually I laugh when I look back at them as some are rather funny.
I loved or more appropriately I love the pictures that I have rendered. There are some that I have never posted and then there are some that I have. Within the creativity. I never thought that I would be as one would say - into taking pictures.
Yet each picture has it's own merit. This array spans time as well as spans several places here on this very earth. What I find most captivating is what I was thinking at the time of the picture now. As I look at them from a different view.
Yet there are some that I really have to laugh at. They are my own but the story that goes along with obtain a few captures. Well as the saying goes, "there is a story behind every pictures." So probably so.
Sure there are some conceptual. Yet then there are some that I have never posted. I love photography. Yet I don't thrive on it right now. But I do enjoy it when I do it.
Ten years ago if you asked me what I would love to do - my response would be to be a photographer. If you asked the same question 15 years ago I think I would say the very same.
It's all in the " take ".

My Own Little Secret
Why I blog. I do all these things for family and it's not easy. I have had a few opportunities of recent yet I am always taken by family. As some know I was hospitalized as I came near to having a mini stroke which is called a "TIA". I have always respected family yet there is much that goes along with this. I render the best and there are times that I feel that I am working at a snails pace while I literally do go.
I don't have many things, I lost much within my travels. Yet I am a human being and I write within a manner of regards to others. Seemingly when I get to one point - there is that obligatory effect and I could say that I wish I would have never returned here. But within some shape. In some manner I will be enabled to do what I wish to do without the situations that are every day.
Most would even read something as such but I long for the spring and as well I do aspire as most just enjoy the "happy camper" stuff and I certainly am and I have taken the time to do things. But this morning when I woke. I thought what is the meaning of all that is going on within my own personal life.
I took all things into account and understoood very well where I am and what is needed. The girlfriend of recent is not an option right now. There are things in which perhaps I should have closed the computer. But then again two years ago when most all of your belongings and libraries of things that you deem of worth are gone. The best manner that I can summarize this is that I am going through a test.
I don't know if many of you have been through an ordeal where you have others that continually need to have you do things while at the same time at their age they blame you for all that has happened. My father of which I have always admired - yet understood very well his own characteristics, and a mother that will have great expectations that you shall resolve all. And then a sister that since the day I was born was jealous that I was born. I can honestly say it's not that easy.
You name the places that I have been and I have been to them from church to other areas faith. Here too they think you look so fine. But they don't have that time. In some ways I have fell out of the blocks. I see others living life and I sit at this computer thinking of what's next? Perhaps I have always been a convient one. For that matter, maybe I knew it when I was 17 and left off to attend university. And then within current times seemingly the family will fight over ever matter. When my older brother comes to town, he understands it.
I know that there are some things which I need to change. Yet I am always drawn into the same old thing day after day. Friends they are there but they all have had a thought of things. This is not something new. This is something that has been ongoing since the last several months.
What do I desire? It's the very freedoms within life as you. There is nothing like a somewhat changed father, and family (aside of relatives and other friends) that know all too well what I am in. So many will think in times that they are down that they are the blame of all that has happened within their family. I don't. But it can be very taxing.
Yet like within the old days of the famers. They used to place a water hose to ride out the gofers. I don't fall. I promised myself when I returned here I would never fall and aside of this one time where I was hospitalized and there was no family to come and see me. I made the best of it. I still do that today as there are better days to come.
Maybe that might be an ideal, yet I maintain that to this very day. If I have to start again all over I shall. Other than that I never in my life thought I would be writing personal matters as such on a blog. But there were times in which I was posting after work as time allowed pictures. Now to be very honest. I am embarrassed of the situation that I am in. And there are times where you take a pen and paper and try to map things out. I believe in this slogan of "where there is a will there is a way".
I do have a will of my own and within all of this there is a way. I was not too shy to post this. And it does not breach the manner that I enjoy this. But come spring I do have, no must get on. My legs do give out they have for the last three years. And it's so embarrassing when you see the others that are of the same age range as your own that get on with it.
When I get down, I get focused and I remember that being the case since I was a younger age. Thus some of the Utubes to make a mention of what I like as yeah I was in music. I was in many things but now I am literally healing and when this is all done. My I have a story to tell.
I hope you don't deem this as negative as I make the best of what I have. But purpose is in what you do. Most would have fallen by now - easily. But I render something within my own way and when that day comes hopefully sooner than later. Iam not too proud. Nor am I arrogant. It's just the manner things are right now and I do make the best of it.
I believe I can Fly....

Helen Keller - History March 1887
On this day in 1887, Anne Sullivan begins teaching six year old Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing after a severe illness at the age of 19 months. Under Sullivan's guidance Keller flourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist. Sullivan, later called "the miracle worker," remained Keller's interpreter and constant companion until here passing in 1936. Anne Sullivan, born in Massachusetts in 1866, had experience being handicapped herself, as a child, an infection impaired her vision. She then attended the Perkins Institution for the Blind where she learned the manual alphabet in order to communicate with a classmate who was deaf and blind. Eventually, Sullivan had several operations that improved her weakened eyesight.
Helen Adams Keller was born on 27 June 1880. As a baby, who was afflicted with scarlet fever, left Helen unable to see, hear or speak. She was considered a bright but spoiled and strong willed child. Her parents eventually sought the advice of Alexander Graham Bell formerly from Hamilton, Ontario the inventor of the telephone and an authority on the deaf. He suggested Helens' parents to contact the Perkins Institution, which in turn recommended Anne Sullivan as a teacher. Sullivan, aged 20, arrived at Ivy Green, the Keller family estate, in 1887 and began working to socialize her wild, stubborn student and teach her by spelling out words in Keller's hand. Initially, the finger spelling meant nothing to Keller. However, a breakthrough occurred one day when Sullivan held one of Keller's hands under water from a pump and spelled out "water" in Keller's palm. Keller went on to learn how to read, write and speak. With Sullivan's assistance, Keller attended Radcliffe College and graduated with honors in 1904.
Helen Keller became a public speaker and author; her first book, ‘The Story of My Life’ was published in 1902. She was also a fundraiser for the American Foundation for the Blind and an advocate for racial and sexual equality.

Billy Joel - Just the Way You Are
Just the Way You Are
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

It Did Not Happen
Seemingly this last week and this week we have seen something of the likes of what we had some years ago. You would think that things change but we have come to a time that there again things that we are doing. This week with Omar, reminded me so much with Iraq. The one that I marvel within all of this is the alliances that were set up - that is excluding out the situation with Japan. How can one write on these two situations.
Certainly there most of all we don't wish to see this take place but the one thing is that this time around Obama made a good move. As fanatical arabs can't place nor blame America. This was an alliance of many. I think that was a smart move and from what I feel. This shall be over with soon. It's ironic though on how the Arab league of nations are sitting there backing up the UN's decision. They don't believe in a man that has since the Regan times is back at it. But just perhaps and I hope most probable that there is no one country to blame anymore as much as they would like too as this was a first since the first Gulf war where there were alliances to take action. We are not within the times to be addressing such matters. Especially when there is Japan at hand but I certainly am fond of it when you see these alliances come into play.
As far as Omar, I don't think he shall be resting in tents as he has done as a ritual for the past ten years. Yet the mandate is not to kill but to take out all military installation of Lybia. I believe in peace. And especially within this time and era.
History has proved in the past never to take on the Ottemum (misspelling) empire. Yet the empire has voted for this and backs up it. For some reason I think that there were several people - leaders as such that paved the ground on this one as America will not be blamed nor any country for this action that was taken and I don't think it's going to take as much out of our economies as times before.
When you look at it all it can be mind bloggling yet this has always been sitting there for years. And only due to the actions taken by Omar - did the UN make a decision to take out all of Lybia's military infrastructure. No president nor prime minister wished for this one - to say the least. Yet I think it was prudent that action has been taken before this came to be out of hand.
Japan was enough for me but then here was a tyrant that thought he understood full well that he could take advantage of the situation.
It didnt happen. In this case and it was not just the western world, it was Europe as well as with the moral backing of other Arab nations. So there is not blame to any country as all came together in unision for a good act to mankind.
News of Recent - Not my own Write
Japan’s nuclear catastrophe, and the UN Security Council’s support for Libyan people against Muammar Gaddafi, have financial implications well beyond market volatility.
The Japanese “brand”, based on brilliant planning and execution, has been permanently tarnished. First it was Toyota’s colossal recalls and now the world discovers that six reactors were built in an earthquake zone, subject to tsunamis, without sufficient fortifications or back-ups to back-ups. Instead, the repair job has become a Kamikaze-like effort by several dozen middle-aged volunteers whose failure will take the world into uncharted territory.
This fiasco guarantees that the nuclear option, to replace fossil fuels and save the world from the effects of over-population, is about as attractive as having Colonel Gaddafi drop by for dinner.
Nukes no, Canadian energy yes
This increases dramatically the probability that two Canadian pipeline projects, and others, will be invited to dinner: The Keystone Pipeline expansion bringing oil sands output to US refineries and the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline will proceed. The US government has been dithering about Keystone’s environmental impact (they already have 50,000 miles of pipelines there) and the Canadian government has dithered for decades about Mackenzie, mostly recently over a request to back a small portion of the line so aboriginals can own a piece of the action.
Both governments must approve these lines.
In the US, this is because, without construction of new nuclear facilities, the country will need more oil and Middle East volatility means that region is undesirable as a supplier. So Canada’s oil sands are essential. Tellingly, USA Today editorialized in favor of Canada’s “dirty” oil.
“The Keystone expansion would provide an extra 500,000 barrels of oil a day from a secure ally and neighbor, enabling the US to offset declining supplies from Mexico and Venezuela and avoid having to reach out to less-stable oil exporters. At a time of rising gasoline prices and turmoil in the Middle East, the US is in no position to be finicky about its oil imports,” said the newspaper. “And here’s something else to consider: If the US blocks the pipeline, Canadian developers have made it clear they’ll be glad to build west instead of south — and sell oil from the West Coast to China.”
The Mackenzie Pipeline will, and should, proceed because increasing oil sands production (which needs natural gas), removal of the nuclear option in Canada and commitments to take coal plants out of service by 2025 will require four times’ more natural gas than it can bring to markets.
According to Ziff Energy, a leading energy consultancy, the Mackenzie, Alaska gas pipeline, producible shale gas and conventional gas deposits would all needed and viable in future.
For instance, Ziff said that Canadian conventional gas reserves are declining by up to 20% per year which requires the replacement of up to 4 billion cubic feet per day of new supplies. That’s equivalent to the total production from three Mackenzie Valley Pipelines. Decline rates are similar south of the border and will require at least ten times’ more gas.
Power generation is also starting to switch from coal or oil to natural gas for environmental reasons. In June 2010, this was mandated in a Canadian Federal Government policy which will phase out 33 inefficient coal-fired plants in Canada whose economic life will end by 2025. Their licenses will not be renewed unless their emissions are reduced dramatically to the same level as gas-fired plants. The amount of gas needed to replace these 33 dirty coal plants totals 1.2 billion cubic feet per day, or the entire annual output of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline.
Fossil fuels brings me to the democratization of the Arab world and this week’s Libya support in the United Nations.
Ten countries voted in favor of a resolution to crush him some time soon by any method necessary, while the other five — China, India, Russia, Brazil and Germany — were smart enough to simply abstain and get out of the way.
This vote was historically significant for two reasons: It was backed by broad-based support for democracy and against tyrants and, secondly, it marked a stepping down by the United States from the role of Superpower which, frankly, it cannot any longer afford financially or reputationally.
The fact is that President Obama is delivering on his promises to take the training wheels off Iraq’s fragile democracy and to be multilateral and let others do the heavy lifting. As an American taxpayer, and a Canadian one, I applaud his behind-the-scenes community activist role in letting if not encouraging the French, of all nations, to take the lead in the Libya initiative, followed by the British, Arab League and African Union. It’s also a sign of fiscal prudence on the part of Washington which is good news for Americans and Canadians. alike.

Guns In The Sky
I got up went out and then came back. What all took place what nothing but a good ordinary thing. I got some temp relief from this pain of sorts and know that I have been burning the candles at both ends but never the less. What a week we have seen. I literally enjoy the news and then current worldly events. That is something that millions are talking about the manner that I can see it is that this was a good manner in which we all have went in.
While Japanese make there way then there are the Omar as I call him. And I am sure no one wishes for war. I think that most care more so about what is within there world. But I remember the first Gulf War very well and the manner that this is being handles is something I think is appropriate.
Meanwhile I was all over the place trying to get this cellular working and for the life of me it's a no go. Yet I will leave it till tomorrow.
There are many 2 morrows.

Ordinary can be Extraordinary
The man worked for a power company as a line man. When he retired he thought he would do a good deed within his retirement. He started up an ambulance system of merely a few ambulances.
Thereafter as the service he gave came to be noticed by many within a nearby small town. He went on to then build slowly a many ambulance centers. He had leased land with the intention to achieve a goal when the time was right. After twenty years he came to have the largest privately owned ambulance companies in this country. He had a small goal and today we talked about how he achieved it and basically he never gave a thought as to becoming prosperious as that was never his aim nor mission. His mission was to do something that would be productive.
What I found amazing with Cec was that he was an ordinary person. You would never know how much he owned, nor would he say. He wasnt within that element of being an aristocrate. I find that those that have been very productive in life are more often than not - very humble and ordinary people.
He know owns as well a fleet of medical aircrafts. And what I found truly profound was in how down to earth he is. Who would have ever thought a mere lineman would come up with a company as such - yet it was based on the merit of doing something in retirement and then without the regard of things growing to the point where he grew. It's a neat success story. More often than not I find that this is the case and yeah it was apart of my day. People much of the likes always have amazed me. As success is a commodity that is derived not for the money.
The money is merely the byproduct. The success is so often the understated but the triumph is within the doing and deed.
There comes a time in life when you walk away from drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh,forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right, pray for those who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE, getting back up is LIVING - By Patty http://pattym1957.multiply.com/
Not Sure where this Fits
I write and I read I know that there are differences and so for but one can't please everyone. There is something to just reading. Here again my fingers have had it and when my physician gets back I have to address this as there is something wrong with this as I am not one to complain but the change of weather seemingly takes its' toll. I was reading one friends blog and it was on all medicines. I am not much for bad medicine but am all for good medicine. When pain hits there is nothing like it and I hate it when everything comes to a halt.
There are an array of thought that I have read over and it's interesting to read others. I do have this face book but that bores me. Yet I met up with a friend and I will leave that up to another day. I see that some have addressed what they don't like or there intention with there blog. I think that perhaps some are tired of some things. I think it's take creativity as multiply seemingly is moving in some direction. I can't say I am sure of what that is. Yet we do write as we please. Yet with a regard. I know I can't please everyone in life, nor on a blog yet I enjoy things within a simple manner.
I could go further with this and write and write but I am not sure about you but sometimes I feel like I am writing on my own. Well come to think of it I am. Now and then a person does get bored with a routine. Yet this is more of a communication how would I describe it - I could never place a finger on it but it's certain enjoyable to read and write.
Thus that is how it in my neck of the words. I met an extremely interesting person today and I do look forward to writing on it. But the fingers are just not working well and this week I shall address this. But I keep things on the upside but now and then I find I am getting tuckered out. I guess I have allot on my mind of recent.

It's called the Productivity Paradox.
An increase in technology does not necessarily mean an increase in productivity.
Some suggest that evidence is mounting that the same technology tools that lead to an increase in productivity can be counterproductive if overused. To me, the living proof of this is my computer on my desk. In the early 1990's I was persuaded to put a computer on my desk. For those who remember and want a laugh, it was a IBM Aptiva 330.
I remember seeing or trying this first computer which was mostly a pudgy DOS operating system. I would look at this screen staring at it while these little green things would look back at me and I would opt to write and have it typed or type if for myself - documents that is.
I gave up on but then came Windows 3.1., and well this was something. Not many were much on computers with the exception of a few but how things started to change.
I had upgraded to a 486 that I had the brilliant idea of using the word processor to type stuff. The technology along with my skill kept evolving through the 90's into the 21st century with Windows upgrades, 95,98,2000, XP, plus ever-faster Pentium processors and bigger hard drives and more RAM. I found myself in the early 2000's communicating more and more with this wonderful new thing called electronic mail, email for short. And THAT'S when I believe the Productivity Paradox perhaps started to rear its ugly head. Or maybe not as there is no doubt that I find that not only am I but everyone around me and people from so many areas are all for that super fast, multi gigabyte memory machine and its 22 (or is it 24?) inch high resolution widescreen monitor on which I read dozens upon dozens of daily emails that expect well thought out replies which come by way of email. In that "a s a p" manner.
Now, was I really more productive back in the 1990's? I can't say I am certain. But wow how did I get by back before this computer era. We can't go back in time but I find that either office or not I find that yeah I am within this computer productivity paradox.
The greatest thing it's fast!
CBC News - The National - Rex Murphy - Dignity and Determination
One very good writer and man I never knew this was here to utilize. He is a noteable speaker and last night how he spoke about this was something that I was very attune with. He was from a place in Canada called Newfoundland and is a very noteable speaker and writer.
Here in Canada we have what is called the CRTC, and it takes 24 hours before you can get things but I thought it was something of worth as what he says is tremendous on the situation on Japan.
I never thought this option was here and well it is thus ------- the commentary by Rex.

Integrity
How do we define integrity? How is courage measure? I think we all would see it in different manners. This group of 50 people in Japan have really made the decision to make a sacrifice with their own lives for the best for others. There is certainly something to say about that. Measure as such rise the bar for me. It's the acts that some are willing to do for the best interest of society.
There choice to stay and be exposed the these reactors is something that is exceptional. We see them within our military. We see them within other areas. We see them in all walks of life as there are heros that are still out there I believe. I don't think all the heros are of just an old bunch of people as there are heros within each and every area of our society.
What makes up a Hero? I think it's measure within the acts they do. We don't know these 50 people over there in Japan but what they are doing is giving there own life or making a sacrifice for the sake of the lives of other people.
I think that still stands for something.

I Hope, I do
Everyone is wired within there own manner. That is we all have emotions and here it came to snowing again tonight but Japan has brought me down. I suppose there are those that are different. Well we are but this has been a time where I really have come to find that it is a downer.
The thought of all those people over there and all. I honestly have come to find that it's brought me down. Some feel more maybe and I do have feelings with all this. I am just sitting and thinking to myself why. Why this had to take place and for the most part this is the reason I don't get much into television as most all of it is bad news. I have found the past few days and then the things in which I see right now are something that really do hit hard.
Perhaps I am more, I don't know. But each night right now I do say a prayer. I don't know if it's going anywhere. But it's something right now I do as well as I hope. Who would have ever thought this would take place within these times.
Often I will just delete what I have wrote but this sincerely comes from the heart. But tomorrow is a new day right? I hope something good happens over there within Japan. Hope I hope and often I do where my heart on my shoulder within times like this.
Yet tomorrow is another day...
Peace,
Jack
It's a Great Day for the Irish
Oh, I woke me up this morning and I heard a joyful song
From the throats of happy Irishmen, a hundred thousand strong
Sure it was the Hibernian Brigade
Lining up for to start the big parade
So I fetched me Sunday bonnet and the flag I love so well
And I bought meself a shamrock just to wear in me lapel
Don't you know that today's March seventeen?
It's the day for the wearing of the green...........
It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair
The side-walks of New York are thick with Blarney
For shure you'd think New York was Old Killarney
Begosh and begorragh, every Irish son and daughter
Every good old Irish name and their relation
They come from Tipperary, Donegal and County Kerry
They are all here to join the celebration
There's Connolly and Donnelly, Ryan, O'Brien,
McLoughlin and Lynch, Pat Flannigan, McFadden, McPhearson and Finch
Hogan and Logan, Fitzpatrick, O'Bannigan, Danny O'Doole and Seamus O'Tool!
It's a great day for the Shamrock, for the flags in full array
We're feeling so inspirish, shure because for all the Irish
It's a great, great day.....
It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair
Begosh, there's not a cop to stop a raiding
Begorrah all the cops are out parading
It's a great day for the Shamrock, for the flags in full array
And as we go a-swinging, every Irish heart is singing
It's a great, great day........

Aside of my last post which I do hold rather close it's been a difficult day. Tending to family matters and all but as some many know I have a sister that has an illness and well it's not easy. But I loved to move beyond those things. I guess you could call it my own avoidance. But the way I see it we all have family matters and this does suck the life out of me at times. Yet you move on.
I have not taken any pictures as I am not sure about you but I get hit with joint problems. Yet I just work along with it seemingly the climate has something to do with this but I just feel that it might more so be stress with all the matters. Yet when one just is within the move. There seemingly is nothing to worry about. Easier said than done. But can be.
So I thought I would make mention as I still am within my health plan since I left the hospital a few months ago as some may know.
So I always keep an upbeat means.
Yet aside of all St. Patrick's day is tomorrow! I almost forgot.

Why Yes
Why do I do this. I am just like most of you. From the insides. As we are. We really are. In this case I think within the area of what once I thought this was merely on a blog. It's not. As each and everyone which is on here is from all corners of the world. From lands to other lands.
I came home last night thinking all was fine and then when I assembled it all. It made me sick to my stomach. I am being as honest as I can on here. Certainly emotions can have a play. Yet within this case the human condition truly shall send a signal. Perhaps a good one I hope. We speak of hope and then there are those that are within need of hope. Hope based on the essentials of life and existence.
Within so many there may be that means and ways. So often we do write within our own means. So be it. We do as we deem fit. We do as we desire.
I recall the time of Katrina and I did my share at the time. It was not much yet that is my own privacy without any hoax. Sometimes we find that our own lives have come to be disjointed. Yet we all render the best or what we can be. Rather than what we can't. We know our own means and ways.
Yet at that time I certainly did do it. We have had catastrophe since the dawn of time. Who really cares where it was. Yet we would care if it was within our own vicinity. Wouldn't we?
Certainly we can watch all things which are happening. As I found today the merits of the Red Cross which is located in every country in the world has that open door right now with the perogative of Japan. We can toss it up and think we have our own problems. I know I could for that matter or we can act and make some sort of an impact. Some probably have. We watch, and we look. We want to see the outcome. What I do know is tend to things before they get out of hand. I think this is one of them. We can waive the wand and nurture this as being merely and only a religious act. I see it more so as a hanitaritian one. Who doesnt have $ 10.00 dollars? Think about all that are on this blog and there merit of what the merit is with doing something.
Again I have done this before but never within Multiply but I think that this is the time regardless of where you come from. Regardless of anything. If you are within a placement that you can spare a little I think regardless that this is the time. We have place monies into many areas and we place much into what all is within our own realm.
Crisis has a meaning in latin. I forget the name for it right at this moment but we are watching a land and people that predominantly have done there own thing. I would hope that each person - human being that gets this does do something. As I don't wish within this write to mention what is happening there.
What I am mentioning is about CARE.
Now even when I write that. There are many things that do come to mind but indeed if you care and I am just an ordinary Joe. Do take up this once in your probable life time to show it and do something. Some will say that it's redundant. If we lived within redundancy. Where would most be right now? That is something to think on perhaps. Forget history. Forget everything but don't forget that there are merely women and children that are within a country that is more than likely in the brinks of a slow meltdown.
This is not war. These are people that eat cheeseburgers, ride a bike, go to school. They do everything much like you or I. The reason that is? They are human beings. For myself, I could go into my own things. I could write about what all is happening. Yet my hopes and my prayers are that everyone on here sees this. I need not say where I have lived or was born nor anything as it's not about me. The best means to write this is to stay true to what I truly desire. And I am not the only one. (Emphasis on that one).
I am one human being that is hoping that you do have that opportunity as if your on a computer, basically you do. You do have that one in a life time chance to give something to a people.
It's almost like that "message in a bottle". But this is real and darn it - we all CAN. I think most all know of the Red Cross and from the bottom of my soul I hope many can. I do more than you know. I really do.
The earth did what it did. Yet women and children - a society does need help right now. You don't have too but you might look at this later and see what you saved.
YOUR HELP
No info mercials. This is a write from a human being regarding human tragedy.
Regardless of what you think of this writer. I do hope that there is some thought that is given towards this. As to help and to aid is a commodity that never needs a validation. The act of doing something as such is the act of what one feels as a goodwill of purpose. And then some.
Who benefits? We never know the answer. But the action in which we take is to each their own. I don't wish to say whom or where you place something yet anyone can place a link.
Yet it's beyond links and there always some that will act and some that might not. Yet all I know is if it was around either or any of us...we would wish the same aid.
Don't you think? As we would. Regardless of where we are. As the manner I see it which not all do we all are one and do have some - some commonalities. Being a human being is one prominent one. Hopefully there are caring people around the world. And I hope this message does get out there.
Perhaps not but the effort was in concert with a good deed done.
I love to write within my own. Yet there comes a time where you do have a regard others. Right now Japan for me is on top of my list. We come back to this old saying of, " I thought I had it bad when I had no shoes until I meet a man with no feet". This probably is not the perfect saying within a Zen based manner yet it does apply. I have done my part, no I have not entirely as I like some of you am very concerned with human life. Japan could be the Canada, USA, Australia and several countries. We all make mistakes within our countries there is no blame as to whom is right nor wrong. What is paramount right now is the lives of human beings. It's nice that we all live within a comfort of some manner yet there is a time where if either you or I were within a situation of paramount disaster. We would render over and beyond ourselves. As life is life and so easily we can say that we have done something - but this is one I think that we all look and perhaps right now the Red Cross is the best option. It's just my own thoughts...Who does and who does rise to the occassion I often ponder in times such as this. Sincerely Jack It's easy to take the "blind eye". I don't now have it. Nor hopefully shall you. And by the way this is not a advertisement. It's a message that perhaps that some other human beings might realize. And spare a little change. I have never in my life done circulars on a blog. I do believe in it right now. I will post the link but I believe that that if everyone takes that time as I did and many did within Katrina. This is much larger and I think that a mere donation of any means. Would mean much right now it seems that as stated that the Red Cross is the best route. Apologies as I have sent this to everyone on my settings...

NATIONS AT THEIR BEST
It's the largest quake to strike Japan in 140 years and now advisories have been sent out to parts of pacific Canada as well as the pacific Unities States. I don't know much about meteorology but this is something. Now I had not been keeping up with the news, as most all of it is regards to politics and ongoing tyrants yet this is different.
With all do respect, I don't understand why Japan would go ahead with reactors after what happened in the past yet that is not for me to say. Apparently there are five main countries that are all prepared to aid and assist. Rather than going back in history I find it tremendous that China has stepped up along with other nations with this situation.
Wars and wars, I see this as being entirely different. Most are mankind inclined. Whereas this is a tad different.
The Japanese foreign ministry listed the 49 countries extending offers of relief, in no particular order: Australia, Taiwan, the United States, South Korea, China, Mexico, Thailand, New Zealand, Israel, Singapore, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, India, Russia, Turkey, Germany, France, Belgium, Ukraine, Slovakia, United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Jordan, the United Kingdom, Chile, Spain, Greece, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Denmark, Serbia, Uruguay, Mongolia, Ecuador, Iran, Kyrgyz Republic, Malaysia, Argentine, Philippines, Canada, Italy, Sweden, Kosovo, Iceland, Norway, Romania, and Slovenia.
I like this as it's a congregation of nations carrying out relief for humanitarian concerns.
Excuse Me If I Sneeze :)
It's nice to just arrived home here after doing groceries and for some reason last night I could feel I was coming down with something. So it's a flu. And ironically it's the first time that I have literally stayed home.
I think today is going to be one of those on and off naps. Ironically I have never taking a day off where I am not out. But today is one of those days and thank goodness that I don't have family obligations. So I am just going to take today easy.
Colds and all - I have never had a cold in the longest but perhaps the body is saying something. So it's a home bound day and one to just relax and take it easy. I am not sure about you but I am one that has a very hard time staying home bound for a full day. But so be it.
Awe-chew says I. :)

~ Going Forwards and Backwards in Time ~
This Sunday many will be were some go ahead one hour and some go back an hour pending where you live in accord to the zero meridian.
Daylight time was first endorsed in Germany in 1915, soon thereafter it was adapted by Britain most of Europe and Canada. Since the sun shone for a time while most people were asleep, it was reasoned that light far better utilizing time by way of amending our time within the day. The solution was to push the clocks ahead one hour in springtime, causing people to wake an hour earlier. Expending less energy in light their homes, the thought was if time was adjusted patterns would adjust with it. And all would change their daily routines. When the days started getting shorter in the fall and people awoke to increasing darkness, the clocks were turned back an hour to get more light in the morning. Although first instituted in 1915, the idea of daylight time had been batted around for a more than a century. Benjamin Franklin suggested the idea more than once in the 1770s while he was an emissary to France. It wasn't until more than a century later that the idea of daylight time was taken seriously. William Willett, an English builder, revived the idea in 1907, and eight years later Germany was the first nation to adopt daylight time. Reason being it was to conserve energy. Britain quickly followed suit and instituted British Summer Time in 1916. Several areas, including parts of Europe, Canada and the United States, followed suit after the First World War. In most cases, daylight time ended with the armistice. During the Second World War, a different type of daylight time was reestablished by Britain and clocks were set two hours ahead of Greenwich time during the summer. It was known as “Double Summer Time”. The time shift didn't end with the summer, as clocks were rolled back to be one hour ahead of GMT through the winter. The Uniform Time Act, enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966, established a system of uniform for each region, as do other countries around the world. Yet there are some places that still don't observe daylight savings time around the world but the majority of the world have.
The Meewasin Valley Authority

It was understood since the inception of the need to be a balance between the short-term human demands around a longest river within Canada. A complex study was made to sustain the river and the valley that surround it. While at the same time a balanced approach to development, which would enhance the cultural and recreational areas.
Building this establishment was with a mission as well as a thought within that as areas became more urbanized there would still be two sides within the city with kept the city within a balance. While development on either the east or the west sides of the city still took place. Yet never breached upon the land areas of the city in which are called the Meewasin Valley. There have been developments that have taken place yet the areas of the Meewasin Authority have stayed untouched.
The beginning of the Meewasin Valley and waterway came to be in 1882. The river itself came to be known and recognized by way of European explorers passing through the river. The word Meewasin within the dialect of Cree means “happy” or “beautiful”. The guideline in which the authority works is to retain this riverbank within its same manner while the city continues to expand.

Why Not...Music is My Default
I know this one person is not with us but yet there were many things that he did share. The lyrics often do speak for themselves. Certainly one member is gone yet the band does continue. They hailed from Australia, there is something more yet within the lyrical content. As like the Beatles and few and far between. The songs thrive and live one. Hutch has been replace yet the lyrics and music do live on.
~ Yeah ~
"Kick"
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Come on come on come on come
I look around unsatisfied
At what they're giving me
Then I think to myself
Is there someone else
Who feels the same as me
Do you feel the same baby
When my back is broken
When the mountain moves away
All the dreams and promises
That we give
We give away
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Look ahead
But don't mix it up
Baby look ahead
To better days and better ways
Make peace with flesh and blood
Make peace with your love
Nothing more I could ask of you
In the end this is the truth
A Band like many but I have not seen the likes of. Since...

A Small Town Yet Merging into a City
There is so much news out there these days. I had been out and have you ever left and were far away and forgot your camera and had the ideal area in which you wished to write? I did. Right now here within the city were there are two new bridges that are in the midst of being built. It's a large endeavor and I sat in with the super of the construction and were got talking and were were talking about how many do have a concern that this city is changing from what has always been known as a "small town & a city". It's the flavor I guess that has always been something that most folks enjoy especially the ones that have been here all there lives.
I myself always thought of this as a very unique city as it could render that feel of both a town as well as a city. Yet it's growing and it's moving so fast. So often when this happens the crime rate goes up. Yet you can't stop progress.
I myself love that small town flavor and that ability to get to where ever your going without the hassles of large cities. There is something about a small town feel. I think nowadays most people are buying secondary homes or cottages outside of the city and many just live outside of the city. Don't get me wrong. I love cities yet ironically I never loved what goes along with a city that is the size of a million. I used to as a kid.
So we shall see how things shape up here. As it's really growing faster - actually to fast and city council back some ten years ago never intended nor expected this to take place.
Yet there is something about towns. I am not much for the hustle and time it takes in getting from one place to another. But that's just my thoughts.

~ BEING ~
Most reach an age and they feel that they do need someone. What we need and how we feel is only that in which only each one of us can really come to understand. The nature of life is one that will always be ever changing. One does not have to move to the accord of all the changes but adapt as desired. There are things that are not desire and things that are. The renders of what is. Is really within what is enjoyed. As the way I see it we are beings. Beings of the makes of our own manner.
One person can see one thing and another can see another. As how we perceive things is different. If you take a car accident and look at how people all recount it. Each one shall have a different story.
One may feel one way with certain areas while another feels differently with the same very thing. Differences are those that render and appreciation of the accord of each other. It's all within the nature of our being. Being is within just as it sounds. "Be - ing."
Being it sounds bizarre yet perhaps it's not just a state of mind. More probable it's an art within life and cadence.

Yesterday
One does never like to create a commotion or any ill will. What I said was what I said and over the last two days there has been much happening with my father. Couple that with my mother as well. On Sunday it had reached it's point where I was going to write on it. I am rather personal with much of what I do write as I used to post many things pertaining with my folks. When you see illness it can be most upsetting. Mind you you go about a routine and for myself I have been pushing it in all directions.
I will come on here and read and then write but I don't place all that many pictures as I had before as I have been running in many other directions. As there have been several good things that have been taking place. Yet regardless of that there is nothing that is harder than emotional stress - that is stress within a family.
So now I mentioned it as yesterday I was so played out. But all that I know is that there always is a resolve of sorts. By no means what this what throttled the previous post. Yet family matters can be those that are most difficult - yet for myself I move on and everyone is different within how they handle things yet for me family matters are always something that always gets the best of me, as it did yesterday.
So I was going to mention this on Sunday yet I was much too tired and was on for a brief period.
I enjoy whom I am, I enjoy life, yet I don't need what most and everyone deems other than enjoyable. When I blog, it's due to one thing. I enjoy on whatever I wish to write. As do you. Gossip has a funny nature to it. As the one that needs to gossip and postulate. There is a reason for that. I am just simple me, no more not less. Aside of that there much better things to do within life. That seemingly is the way life goes and has gone for since the dawn of time.
Yep It's a Blog
Have you ever found that there are there are times in which you need to let go of some that are pardon my french but - full of it. As you have listened heard there voice mails as well as there needs at there hard times. Yet when you log on you wish to have something that is decent.
I am not a down and out person as - there shall be gossip. I just believe that within this consortium blogs that there are those that in no manner are what they write. It's what we call a blog game. I have always looked for those with the areas that have something that is interesting and of worth. As well, I have been block by a few and then there are those few that they block you for the reason that they need you when things are down and out and then they just gossip within what we all know.
I enjoy those that are ordinary people and now withing to be any more. Nor clanning. Yes I have done this before. Yet I do it as I have too many on my blog and I can't get to everyone. It's one thing that one hears the merits of what this is all about and all the love and so forth but some will write things that are so contrary to what they say.
Tee, not from New York. Regardless this thing called gossip yet there are many that could be and I follow the presmise that I saw outlined with a friend of mines whos name is Doug. Seemingly it's always been my infarastructure as regardless of gender - he has great sensibility within what he write and the manner that he does it.
I am just not into that - sorry. The drama, but the two sided minded that have a merit of doing as they do. I don't wish to partake within all of that. It's not my area nor has it been my fill. One talks about others and then has them on there blog - that is such a contradiction. Yet I have always rendered those as how I stared most of this was within my own search of finding that common ground.
One loves to share things with those in which they do feel they can express as they wish. One never wishes to express and then there is some situation that continually takes place. I have given much thought to this over the last week.
Within life some will find common grounds with you then there are those that will just make a mention as all they wish to do is promote there own blog and if they can't do that....they shall go to all extents with some matters.
I enjoy to share with folks that have that not fake, but hamane manner. This is where I have always problems on this multiply. In the words of Maritess, " You can't really express things on a blog".
I beg to differ...
Comfort is with those common grounds. Enjoyment is within common grounds. We all have our own grounds and some are very territorial. Some have another reason for being on here. I have my own reasons. As does everyone else. So I thought I would place this in here. It's not as easy to day as it seems. But there are a robust manner of many people. All writing within there own manner without the need to blemish another.

The Rutles
Well I had to place off my last procedure with these last tooth and within the day I met with one a few people even within this weather. So things shall prevail for the rest of the week. So there is a tad of an ouch going on as I placed on this copy of "The Rutles". They were a satire of the Beatles. George Harrison actually financed most of what they did and they are a hoot.
I listen to all the things that are going on right now and not only are my teeth saying ouch. I now and then will tune into, "The Rutles" and where did these songs ever go?
Certainly, "The Beatles" were one of the greatest bands which we have ever had yet for the life of me I have never seen any anology or anything with regards to "The Rutles".
Take into consideration they were from Liverpool too. :)
I myself loved this one song called, "Number one".
I am sure some might remember the Beatles with there song called, " Help". There was a satire that was made by the Monty Python group predominantly financed by George of the Beatles and this is there take and there was something to when John was right "Help". And then came about one that hit the charts by the Rutles called, "Ouch". I can relate to Ouch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGwg9dKinAE

Thus It Is
We all write and we all have our own messages. Our own concepts our own perceptions. Is it that important that they get out to the entire world? I don’t think so I find that a passion is something that allows me to just write things out. Sometimes I will look back at how I wrote a year ago and regardless of if it’s progressive or otherwise it’s an art of expression.
Maybe we don’t wish to be someone that writes in a manner that gets out within the world, yet writing is something we all want to get all of that stuff out of your head and just let the work flow. I love the creativity of it all and my render is merely my own expression. I am sure that you have felt the same way. Thus writing is a passion, perhaps nothing more. Yet within that passion is something in which each and everyone has that time in which they do enjoy. One word may have that impact that one wishes to write on, and then again maybe more. Everyone is different and everyone does it within there own manner.
As the way I see it everyone can write. There are no perfects, certainly there are grammatical errors. I know I do make many, but I chalk that up to this is just a means of expression combined with a communication of sorts. Yet it’s something that we render and is within apart of our sphere. Words and writing. It’s something that can certainly be enlightening. As if our thoughts are within our own thoughts they are guided all within the write. Some write on a variety of areas and what I find is that sometimes there are the smallest things that bring about something which one forgets the details just allows things to flow.
Whether it’s good or not good, whether it’s the right thing. Is there really a right? I tend to think to the contraire. There is no right in this. Let it come, as within a simple word there can be an instrument from which there always comes a flow. It’s the practice may make things perfect – yet regardless it’s within each and every ones own mean of expression.
The purpose?
I think that comes to be something of each and everyone’s very own reason. The very rights of each and one another. While allowing dissension to not be the merit more so the common interests. But the curve from which we render something in which we all enjoy or wish to express.
The Enjoyment
There is a an enjoyment here. I head out to meet with my doc before tomorrow and as well to see that all was well and find for myself with all things considered. When I read some there is something really fascinating. There is one thing I do know is that never tell someone what to do. Rather just lend them ideas. Some don't take much to that. Mind you then there are some that do. It's cold here and it's one of those staycations here until tomorrow is over and done with. Please don't mind me if I throw on some things. It's all done with a reserve and without anything more than just enjoying this stream as we call it. I might not be on for a day of two after this so I wish to just enjoy some creativity. And I hope you don't mind.
This is all enjoyable. It's not anything less nor anything more.
As that is what this is about anyways if I have followed things right.
I don't need, I just realistically enjoy some things. So that is the way life goes. I will read up and thereafter for me tonight it's going to be one night to call it to a halt. Yet bare in mind we all write within our own manner.
Yet the pleasure is within the array. (That's not a sell, nor do I need to tell all for that matter I don't need to say whom is within my life). Each one of us has that given right and those whom aspire to have open minds and open ears - kudos to you as we all know, "It is merely what it is".

Some Commonalities - Gaddafi and Sheen
It’s rare that the news stories that would usually be relegated to the “bizarre news” section make it onto the front pages, but over the last few days the fantasies of two famous men have forced their way into the public consciousness. Muammar Gaddafi and Charlie Sheen have probably never met. Though given the proclivity for Hollywood stars to dabble in foreign policy, you never know, but they share a number of qualities, such as a slipping grip on reality and easy access to TV interviewers through which to share their musings.
Some examples of recent:
1. They both have a problem with drugs.
Gaddafi: “The anti Gaddafi protesters ages are 17. They give them pills at night, they put hallucinatory pills in their drinks, their milk, their coffee, their Nescafe.”
Sheen: “I took more drugs than anyone could survive. Yeah, I’m on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen! It’s not available, because if you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off, and your children will weep over your exploded body.”
2. They’re both having trouble with those close to them.
Gaddafi on the rebels: “Rats and cats … traitors and cowards. Come out of your homes, attack them in their dens.”
Sheen on his producer: “I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”
3. They’re both prepared to do violence to protect what’s theirs.
Gaddafi, when asked about cracking down on the rebellion: “Peaceful protest is one thing but armed rebellion is another. All their crimes they committed are punishable by execution under Libyan law” and “The unity of China was more important than those people on Tiananmen Square.”
Sheen, when asked about his violent streak: “Now, (only) when it’s needed to protect my family. And it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.”
4. They both have a slightly distorted self image.
Gaddafi on himself: “People like the Queen of Britain, Elizabeth II, don’t have the authority to enact official rules and that’s exactly like my situation.”
Sheen on himself: “I’m tired of pretending like I’m not special. You can’t process me with a normal brain. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.”
5. They both refuse to reconsider their workplace behavior. ~ Okie Dokie ~
Gaddafi: “Muammar Gaddafi is the leader of a revolution. Muammar Gaddafi has no official position to resign from. He is the leader of the revolution forever. This is my country, my country.”
Sheen: “I’m supposed to be out there all humble and asking for my job. No, I don’t do that. I don’t understand what I did wrong except live a life that everyone is jealous of.”
6. They both like trophy blondes though Sheen probably wins in this category.
~ Sorry about that "Moe" ~
7. Things could turn out badly for both of them.
CBS on Sheen: “Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season.”
U.S. military spokesman on Gaddafi: “We have planners working various contingency plans, and I think it’s safe to say as part of that we’re repositioning forces to provide for that flexibility once decisions are made” and this news item: “Nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise is currently heading towards the mouth of the Suez Canal in the Red Sea after suspending anti piracy mission off Somalia, followed by the amphibious warship USS Kearsarge.”
