The future is now: The eyes have it
Texting while driving may take on a whole new danger as the future hits us like a brick wall..
The world is about to get this: Text messages that get delivered directly of your contact lenses..
The UK TELEGRAPH reports:
"This is not science fiction," said Jelle De Smet, the chief researcher on the project, who believes commercial applications for the lenses will be available within five years.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
I feel fine.
It’s funny, I recall years back in me teenage years in high school during the late 20th century.. Bill Clinton was having relations that he denied, the economy was great, and I was putting cheap gas into my first car in order to drive around and waste it. Oh, and I was making tons of jokes that by the time 2012 came, nothing would matter since it was the end of the world. Kids back then didn’t know what I meant. But I always prided myself in knowing the best of the doom and gloom scenarios of the future. (Water wars by 2025 I predict)..
And now here we are! Doomsday 2012! The Mayan calender is set to end this month, or some say. A new period of time begins. Or the end occurs.
So it’s only natural that panic is setting in. While most people partied like it was 1999 when the century turned 21, others though Y2K would shut the world down and bring about the end of our world.. Others committed suicide when a comet flew by earth. We have been here before. Panic and fear.
But this is the big one. This is the mother of all end time scenarios.
Even though Mayans are getting pretty angry that people are misinterpreting their calender, we are still doing it.. People are stockpiling food. A certain bit of the collective consciousness thinks the end is nigh.
Here we go. It’s going to be a wild ride to the end of the Mayan calender.
Did anyone ever wonder why the Mayans just didn’t buy a new calender when their old one ended??? I guess there were few book stores back then, too..
So which of the four horsemen is your favorite? The pale one? And with him comes death.
Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully
A rap from rapper PSY. Clearly these words are not as common as the dreadfully annoying Gangnam Style.
But he seems to really hate the USA—the same USA that has welcomed him with open arms..
PSY is also slated to perform in front of President Obama at a Christmas special this month.
We will see if that happens..
Some other news of the world..
Anyone else creeped out by this? On December 21, 2012, CERN will begin running a series of collisions which are predicted to break records in voltage also set by the collider. Oh, and December 21 2012 is also that supposed “Mayan” end date..

Condemned obese killer in Ohio is asking for mercy. Death row inmate Ronald Post is fighting his January execution due to fears that it will be difficult to put him to death given his weight.
Most Americans do not have the ablity to get fresh and healthy foods..
*(And they wonder why people are obese??
The cheapest foods are often the worst, and most families are struggling through immensely bad economic times.
Think about it.)*
Giddy up
So where do race horses in Japan retire to? You may be surprised to know: SLAUGHTERHOUSES! That’s right, according to PETA, when race horses cannot perform at their one time great ability, they are sent to become meat..

Washington state lights up in a blaze of marijuana
More from the TELEGRAPH:
However, the Seattle Police Department told its 1,300 officers that until further notice they shall not issue tickets, and no officers were present at the Space Needle event.
On the city’s police website, spokesman Jonah Spangenthal-Lee said: “The department’s going to give you a generous grace period to help you adjust to this brave, new, and maybe kinda stoned world we live in.”
He added: “The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a Lord of the Rings marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to.”
The department also posted a picture of actor Jeff Bridges as the cannabis-smoking character “The Dude” from the comedy film “The Big Lebowski”.

This is Girardville, Pennsylvania, tonight. The Jiffy Mart has stood for decades. And now it’s burning to the ground.. those who live in the coal region or who did live in it will know this is a pretty big deal. This is a huge chunk of history in a small mining town vanishing before firefighters’ eyes.. Sad night in the coal region.

The Tuesday radar. What I read this morning and suggest you do, too
On the radar for November 27, 2012:
Sunspot 1620 continues to expand. It has the chance to produce some very strong flares and potential CMEs.. A bright Coronal Mass Ejection appeared to be visible from the sun early this morning, however the impact will not be on earth, but instead deep space..
Tom Bogdon, the director of NOAA’s SPACE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER, is closely monitoring the solar cycle, even warning that the upcoming solar maximum may spell problems for the planet earth..
Stan Deyo, the man who predicts earthquakes, said that he has been watching Southern California for seismic activity. Deyo told George Noory on Coast to Coast Am last night that he is 90% accurate in his quake predictions.. He said he sees a potential 4 to 5 quake within a few days of the 24th of November. Deyo said the small earthquakes taking place right now in the zone he predicted may mean that his original prediction may not hold.. Deyo said he will be able to give advanced warning to large quakes. Time will tell if Mr. Deyo is full of bunk or 90% accurate as he claims he is..
While Deyo claims he may now know where large earth rumbling will occur, the places that they are REALLY occurring across the planet are just plain weird. The latest now in Tennessee, where two small tremors happened..
More troubling news in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy: Dunes that protected NY Island from decimation are now gone as a result of the storm..
Hurricane Sandy’s aftermath in the United States as we go into winter.. and in Iran, there are big problems as well: 100,000 are without shelter as a result of an August earthquake as that nation heads into the winter season..
Tis the season to mess up big: The confetti that was showered on NYC this year contained information such as social security numbers, names of detectives, and even a mention of Mitt Romney’s Long Island motorcade.. Some of the material still is scattered in Nassau County..
There is intrigue online as the website Before It’s News posted a story that appears to show a massive number of caskets being prepped in Californina.. The website also points out that FEMA has instructed the government to be prepared for mass deaths..
Hunger in America is a problem. It was never corrected by President Johnson’s Great Society, or President Clinton’s welfare reform, or President Obama’s newest deal. Many are hungry for the holidays in 2012..
Clashes resume in Cairo..
Yasar Arafat’s body exhumed to see if he was posioned..
Yet another study purports to tell us how kids gets autism.. this time it’s early exposure to traffic pollution..
A new furor over Facebook’s plans to change privacy settings..
A study concludes that many of the world’s biggest rivers are running low on water, mainly due to water extraction.. Will anyone get some common sense on the water issue? We face a future of water shortages and war over the very thing we all need to survive. The Colorado River is one thing, but now four major global rivers having the same problems could equal a dismal future..
An update on the Louisiana sinkhole (one that mainstream media still pokes at but never truly covers): One website writes that the explosive potential from the massive sinkhole in Bayou Corne is understated..
North Korea activity suggests the launch of a missile will happen soon..

Interesting.. my hometown has a song about it now. Pretty nifty.
Let Rogue Valley, my favorite band, from Minneapolis, Minnesota be your guide to the modern ghost town of Centralia, PA
‘Pennsylvania 61
through the very heart for some
where industry has long been gone
looks like any old abandoned town
it looks like any other place
forgotten and left to waste
its residents have long been chased awaysteam rises from the fields
smoke-clouds skim the streets
a fire burns underneath the fallen citythis old mining community
is hotter than the planet mercury
a statuette without a face
disfigured and erasedfour hundred acres all unseen
been burning since 1960
the government gave it up
paid money for all the people to move out
they took their pictures and precious things
their families, their histories
level it all, let nature reclaim this townsmoke rises from the hills
like some kind of poison spell
the mines are smoldering still
after fifty yearsthey’ll burn for a hundred more
hollowing a harrowing core
the coal went when the soul went
the other way down
Pennsylvania 61level it all
don’t look back on Pennsylvania 61’
You can listen to Rogue Valley’s fantastic brand of Americana at their Bandcamp, like them on Facebook, and find out more about their expansive ‘Four Seasons’ albums through their website.
Drunk on milk? Shedding the magic underwear at Disney? Now a bear hug on Anne Romney.. Just keep him away from her horses.

So this is how modern shopping happens? This resembles more like an end of the world movie than the Christmas spirit.. Materialism at its finest.. and ugliest.
BE PROUD AMERICA. THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
And scratching it’s head in a mixture of disbelief and amusement..
Embarrassing..

First he was pumping gas obviously drunk on milk. And now Mitt Romney has been photographed at Disneyworld with his kids.. It looks like he is happier on the water rides than he was pumping gas at a station.
At a certain point though Mitt will become old news. I can’t imagine the media continuing to have fun with him so many weeks now after he lost the election..
I would say this is the best meal of the year..Seriously great food, great family, great fun.. Great thanks.
Sure, we have this silly notion that Thanksgiving is about Pilgrims and Natives sitting at a table enjoying a meal. That may have happened but it wasn’t until Abraham Lincoln that this whole thing even became a national holiday, and that was after a big social campaign to have him do it during the Civil War. And yes, some even think there is a much darker and more sordid history of Thanksgiving than one portrayed in history books. We do know there is a pretty rough section of history large not told to young aspiring students in school. America’s government often (and still often does) treated Native Americans with contempt.. White landowners didn’t have their land until a trail of tears forced original settlers off of it. That is the dark history of this nation. One that cannot be ignored.
But we really cannot change much of that now. can we?
At this point we can only make sure the turkey is cooked and the filling isn’t raw. I don’t mind lumpy potatoes.
History is something open for debate often..
So all debate aside, all untold history of sketchy pilgrim and Native American dinners ignored, why is it really that Americans eat like gluttons and sit for hours watching large men in stretch pants knock into each other?? Well, it’s all because of Sarah Hale. She wrote the letter than saved Thanksgiving and convinced Honest Abe to name it a day. There must have been a big brain in that large forehead, Sarah.
Without it, today would just be Thursday and most Americans would be stuck in the weekly grind .. Instead now we will gain 10 pounds, pass out in our sloth, and wake up early to be rude to each other at stores at 3am. The American way.

It is the biggest party night of the year..
… and right now my wife and my son are both soundly asleep and I am watching a Back to the Future marathon on HBO.
I don’t regret for one moment that I’m not out enjoying the party night.
But for those who are out be safe everyone.
Creepy Christmas..
We already know that stores are set to track your ID and see if you are a ‘repeat returner’ of products.
But this one is a little weirder and Orwellian to me. Store mannequins are not set to watch you as you shop to spy on your shopping habits.
Christmas of the future!
Buy local. Avoid the all-knowing eyes of the lifeless mannequin.
From the age of 16 until about a year and a half ago, I worked either full time or part time in the restaurant industry. I took a sabbatical from the profession since I had a full time job and a second full time job as a dad since 2011. Nonetheless, tonight was always a night of greatness in my restaurant recollection.
Pies. Lots of pies.
The smell of turkey roasting in the oven in the restaurant kitchen.
Setting tables up for reservations.. Making certain enough seating was available..
The magical ‘setup’ hours were fun times, in my memory.
Not like Mother’s Day. I despised worked Mother’s Day for a number of reasons—not because I hate Mother’s Day itself but more because I can’t stand the notion that so many kids see their moms once a year and their choice on that productive day is to take Mother to a busy restaurant with bad service and cold food. How lame.
But Thanksgiving? I always loved waiting tables on Thanksgiving. There was something fun about it.. something ‘holidayish’..
I am jealous of those who get to smell the wafting aroma of pies in restaurant kitchens across the United States tonight.
Yes there will certainly be some mighty big issues to talk about in 2016. Such as creationism.
Seriously.. I want a debate about creationism from the GOP contenders.. with Rick Santorum moderating. How fun that could be.
Yes there will certainly be some mighty big issues to talk about in 2016. Such as creationism.
Michio Kaku voices his solar flare fears
Physicist Michio Kaku was a guest on George Noory’s Coast to Coast AM last night.
Kaku quickly directed the conversation towards his fears over solar activity He told George Noory that he was disturbed by the size and strength of recent solar flares..
Kaku said that the fear is one of the flares could hit earth and ‘all hell could break loose’..
Kaku said it was a matter of time, mentioning that the last big flare happened 150 years when telegraph wires were shorted out. He mentioned that people in Cuba were reading newspaper at night because the Northern Lights went that far South.
In our modern world, Kaku said the satellites would be fried, power plants could go down, and he said it could be worse than 20 Hurricane Katrinas across the planet.. The scary possibility is more possible as the ‘maximum’ of solar activity is occurring The sunspot is like a rifle, Kaku said, and the flares are like bullets. “One of these days one of these solar flares is going to hit the earth,” he told George Noory..
Kaku spoke about Congress’ inaction in taking advice of physicists on concerning the grid. Kaku worried about nuclear reactors failing and more Fukushima type events happening simultaneously throughout the world.
A part of the chaos Kaku foresees: Food riots, and violence as people realize ‘no outside’ will be able to help the areas affected by a solar maximum flare.
How the mighty have fallen..
Life after an election: This is Mitt Romney now, post 2012 loss, pumping gas himself. One comment on his appearance: He’s on a ‘milk bender’.. Simply more fodder for SNL should they choose to use it.

Black Friday lament
I heard about a nifty deal today at Sears.. Buy four tires, get a rebate, and get a $100 in store gift card. Sounded great. The trouble if you have to be at Sears between 4am and 1pm Black Friday to take advantage of the deal..
Tires are needed. But do I really want to subject myself to the anarchy that is Black Friday? Is it realllllly worth that?
Some photos hit hard.. these both did. The innocence of childhood lost during the Israeli/Gaza conflict.. an innocent child's life also lost
Of all of the photos I saw from the Israeli/Gaza back and forth bombings, these both hit me.. A child, innocent, tries to salvage any bit of childhood he can while adults around him act more immature than him.
The fact that a child ‘does not understand’ war and the world means that the child is more humble and honest than any adult in power..
And in the other photo, an adult cries tears of humanity as he carries a dead child from the rubble after a missile strike.
There are many innocent people that die during warfare… they are the ‘collateral damages’ often uncounted by governments embroiled in hostility.
That is beyond disrespectful. They are people with lives, hopes, dreams.. and often innocence of childhood. Innocence lost in a second, dead bodies litter the streets..
War across the world. Isn’t this season supposed to be one of peace on earth??
Whatever happened to that..

Some essential facts on caffeine and a personal testimony
But for me the bad has outweighed the good when it comes to caffeine consumption. I have been clean of caffeine for about two weeks now, the worst was the first four days. I went from drinking 9 to 12 cups of coffee a day along with tea to nothing..
A part of the reason was because my heart was racing constantly, sometimes the beats per minute was shocking. I was having way too much caffeine..
I enjoyed every drop of it don’t get me wrong.. I tried to drink decaf coffee for comfort during those first trying hours, but he was switching from regular coffee to decaf knows it’s just not the same…
But now two weeks into it, I feel much better, the headaches are gone, I am never jittery, and I fall asleep much easier at night. I’m drinking decaf teas and every now and then a decaf coffee, with one little spurt of regular. But I don’t miss caffeine at this point, I am too far involved with the detox of my body to be able to start drinking again.
There may be positive benefits to caffeine, I am not denying that, but it is a drug and the benefits of the drug don’t outweigh the consequences for my personal well being.
This was one of the hardest lifestyle changes I’ve ever made..
Abortion rates in the rural heartland have declined, but abortion VIA remote control has ncreased
AP reports:
DES MOINES (AP) - The number of abortions in Iowa has decreased since doctors were allowed, starting in 2008, to prescribe an abortion-inducing drug to patients in rural areas via a remote-controlled system, a study has found.
Abortion rates in the rural heartland have declined, but abortion VIA remote control has ncreased
The Louisiana Sinkhole
I am struck by the fact that national news has largely ignored the big sinkhole that developed in Louisiana this summer and has continued to grow all the way until the current time.
It began as bubbles in the Bayou down in Louisiana a few houses were rumbling, it has now turned into a sinkhole that expands and expands every day. the size of it is currently seven football fields. There are reports in Louisiana that peoples’ homes are shaking as far away as 15 to 20 miles..
And there is silence on the national news about this issue.
I would actually love to hear from someone down in the Bayou, Louisiana, brother areas that are affected by the sink hole..
please send me a message on here under the open lines link on top or email me

The day the Twinkie died.
A strike, a layoff, bankruptcy, and with that the great American Twinkie dies..
If you need a fix you can try eBay. Though they’re already selling for about $100..
War and more war and more war and more war and .......
My fear about the escalating violence in Gaza and Jerusalem is that an all out ground war may occur..
This world is already bad enough. The middle east is always in chaos but by God we don’t need more..
Reservists have been called up..tanks are massing..
Very loud war drums are banging.
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16 2012
A week until black Friday.. and already protests are mounting over big box stores’ plans to have shoppers in their stores even earlier: TARGET faces anger over plans to be open Thanksgiving day.. And at WALMART across the nation, increasingly chances that a walkout may occur..

Rockets have been fired at Tel Aviv as tensions mount..
St Louis news station: Could the New Madrid be the next location of a major earthquake?
Mexico hit with a 6.0 quake—near a volcano already on the brink!
Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy, Long Island is still an immense disaster..
Seismic monitoring systems around Bayou Corne, Lousiana, very busy with activity.. As a matter of fact, the ongoing saga of the Assumption Parish sinkhole and bubbling in the bayou continue as more safety precautions have been ordered around the sinkhole.. The fear now as the sinkhole has reached the size of seven football fields and some are worried of a methane explosion..
Even more troubling at the sinkhole location: The edge of the salt dome appears to be gone..
Residents complain of tremors sa far away as 15 miles from the site of the sinkhole..
Governments around the world requesting Google data at a fever pitch.. privacy and free speech fears ..
Cracks have been found at a nuclear plant in North Carolina..
Jimmy Savile, Sandusky, Franklin Coverup.. a long history of elite power using children for sex.. the worst of the worst.. deplorable .. but it happens despite the fact people often don’t want to see it..Obama signs secret cybersecurity directive..

Are you like me..?
For your sake I hope you’re not. But if you are even slightly like me you are angry that stores are opening early for Black Friday..
It’s black Thursday. Which is Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day/night is now turning into a shopoholic wonderland.
Even though families will still be sleeping off a big session of overeating, some in the family may have to cut the cranberries short and head for the mall to sit and watch buffoons and materialistic menaces dubbed ‘shoppers’ make for the entrances and race for good buys. While dinner plates are still being washed, some in the family will have to venture for the most dangerous place on earth: In the middle of two largeMarge type persons fighting over a sale.
They used to have to do this on Black Friday.
This year stores are opening early. Very early. Like ………Thanksgiving evening early.
A little ridiculous in my book.
I know it’s a recession.. and the economy is woeful.. and we need money.. and companies want sales.. But not giving employees just that time to celebrate thanksgiving with family? Instead forcing them into their jobs even earlier than ever?
I say bah humbug. Of course it’s not the season yet to say that. But it’s coming quick. Thanks to stores forgetting about why Thanksgiving is a pretty darn cool day, even earlier.

CBS NEWSYORK: While most of Manhattan had its power restored about four days after Superstorm Sandy, persistent problems in some places continue to make life miserable more than two weeks later for hundreds of elderly and ill residents who have been forced to live in cold, dark high-rises. As CBS 2’s Amy Dardashtian reported, those residents were demanding answers Tuesday night. At Knickerbocker Village — a housing complex bounded by Monroe Street, Market Street, Catherine Street and Cherry Street on the Lower East Side – a hallway stunk of rotten eggs Tuesday night.
The BBC reports an amazing story: A Canadian man who was believed to have been in a vegetative state for more than a decade, has been able to tell scientists that he is not in any pain
His doctors now say the textbooks will have to be rewritten.
The amazing tale: Scott Routley, 39, was asked questions while having his brain activity scanned in an MRI machine…
It’s shame we didn’t get the textbooks re-written before the death of Terry Schiavo.

A four star mix up.. whoever is responsible for a local news mishap caused millions of people to laugh—at the expense of the local news team.. A local news station covering the story made a mistake and used a phony book cover of Broadwell’s bio on the General. Her titled was ALL IN. the local news team used a photo of the book reading ALL UP IN MY SNATCH.
Elmo innocent! Days after Kevin Clash was accused of having a relations with an underage boy, the accuser has now recanted the story.. So Clash’s life may have been temporarily destroyed by allegations from the young man.. and now he recants that story?? Did the lawyers from SESAME STREET give him an offer he couldn’t refuse? Did Snuffy rough him up? Did Oscar take him to the can? Or did he just want to ruin the reputation of a man who sticks his hand up the rear end of a red puppet?
Actress Keira Knightley says no one is interested in her small breasts.. But it’s certainly not stopping her from talking about them constantly and showing them to all who want to see them..

The Petreaus Layus update:
Tales of sex, scandals, and the CIA.. days after General Petreaus resigned over a sex scandal with Paula Broadwell and shocked the nation (but not Eric cantor) comes this new question: Did Petreaus’ mistress reveal information on Benghazi?
Some bad news..
The United States military is being warned to prepare for a climate crisis.. The rising sea level and constantly intensifying weather is causing alarm within governments..
A different view of the election.
This is what the red state vs blue state breakdown in America would look like if a state was as big as their vote count.. it would look much different..
Where will a future war for oil be?
That is not too long from now.
It begs the question:
If we have waged wars for oil in the past, will someone wage a war for oil on us in the future?
Strange moment
I’m sitting at Jack Williams waiting for my car to be serviced. I’m sitting near some burly bigger lumberjack looking guys. And what comes on the TV in the waiting room? The TODAY SHOW with a segment of Susan Boyle singing Abba song THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL.
Tension ensues
Such a non masculine moment!
Two burly men got up and left. The other went to the bathroom. I stuck in my chair.
What do you think? The two men jacked with uber testosterone left because they were afraid to weep?
The winner takes it all!!
And now with everyone gone I can turn on CNN!!

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
‘Neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

The myth of the presidential grays?
Maybe it is just wishful thinking to assume that Commanders in Chief, with all the stresses of their daily duties, will get older quicker than others. But as NBC’s Bill Briggs writes, not really:
But, internally at least, presidents don’t age any faster than other Americans – and, in fact, historically surpass average U.S. lifespans, according to a study into whether commander in chief is, literally, is a killer job.
I read this story but will ignore it. I’d rather believe that the President ages faster than me. It just makes me feel better. And younger. Until I see my own grays in the mirror piling up, that is..
