The story of 5-year-old Miles Scott deserves another read.
I just loved this story today.. Just loved it.
This is an artist’s concept of what Mars may have looked like 4 billion years ago..
It sure looked like an amazing place. At least in this artist’s head..

WE NEED MUSKET CONTROL!
At least the canon wasn’t loaded. All’s well that ends well, I guess.

UK INDEPENDENT article: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new film Don Jon is the story of a man whose porn habit has left him unable to relate to real women. He's not the only one
The article focuses on men.
Here’s a quote:
The question is: does it matter? If we’re all getting our kicks and having a good time, what’s the problem? “It’s a disconnection from what’s really in front of you,” says Gordon-Levitt, who directed, wrote and stars in the film. “Rather than engaging with a unique individual and listening to what the other has to say, right at this moment, we put people in boxes with labels. We objectify each other.”
But statistics also show that 70% of men in America are watching porn regularly (probably about as many as have the internet) and 1 in 3 women are..
I am curious if women are having the same re-wiring happening that men seem to be?
The INDEPENDENT article is worth the read. I suppose after you’re done your two minutes on Porn Hub.

This may be the most uplifting story of the day, but at the same time the saddest one as well..

My children are decomposing
This is a quote from Juvelyn Taniega as reported by CNN today.. She is in the Philippines and because of the slowness of recovery, she is now forced to watch as the bodies of her children decompose in front of her..
CNN reports it this way:
Juvelyn Taniega tried to keep busy. She collected old dishes and cleaned them, crouching near where her home once stood and the place where she last saw her husband and six children alive. She’s found the bodies of three of her children, but three of them are still missing. In days, she said, no one has come to help. “My children are decomposing,” she said. There are many like her, looking in disbelief over miles of fields full of crushed wood and stone that once stood as houses, wondering if her missing loved ones are buried in them.
I cannot even fathom the heartbreak and emotion of this.. I cannot even understand or grasp the suffering that so many are going through right now.
Whether there is a god or not, there is certainly reason to doubt the kindness of nature.. and God. We have seen suffering on massive scales before. Hell even the dinosaurs had a miserable existence extinguished by a hellstorm from above. Does the earth itself just hate us?
There has always been hurt, loss, suffering, and sadness. But through it all there has also been a monstrous amount of love and goodness.
The only hope that people in the Philippines have right now is that there will be enough love to overcome the misery..and the decomposing bodies under their feet.
Fewer than 27,000 people signed up for health care using federal website
Going to the doctor makes me sick.
Ick and uck and uck and ick.
Fewer than 27,000 people signed up for health care using federal website
Remember yesterday that Philippine official who got fired for saying the death toll from Haiyan would end up being 10,000? How dare he? Such radical claims? We are getting ever so much closer to that number now, with almost 4,000 counted as casualties from the storm at this point.. The number of injured stands at 12,165.. With conditions deteriorating, things may be worse for those who actually lived through the storm. Some places are becoming hell no earth, with people fighting and scrambling to survive..
Discovery Magazine examines: Do We Live in the Matrix?
My take after reading this article.. And it’s a lengthy take:
My paternal grandmother died in 1997. I dreamed of her often, but she herself was never present in a dream.. only her empty house and vacant garden. A few weeks ago, for the first time, I dreamed of her and she was there—hugging me and telling me she loved me. I wrote about this on this site when it happened.
In the dream, when I asked her if there was a God, I woke up from the slumber without ever hearing an answer.. Last night, my sister (who also never had a dream she was in) had a night vision of our grandmother. . this time she was at an outdoor cafe in New York City. My sister knew it was her because she saw her red fingernails on a hand clenching a menu.
Maybe this is the Catholic guilt within me, but the first thing I wondered “was she released from Purgatory.” Once I snapped from my age old grade school fears of sin, I then wondered.. why now? Why these visions? Why did she hug me and where was she for so much time? And why, why the HELL, did I wake up before hearing an answer as to whether or not there was a God!? …
This is a fascinating story from DISCOVER: Do we live in the Matrix? They report in this article that tests could reveal if we actually do live in a simulation of events. But they also ask the question: Would we want to know? And that question ties in with what I asked my grandmother about in the dream she appeared in.. Was there a God? I didn’t get an answer—maybe I did, and my brain just registered nothing. Perhaps we don’t need to know.. we have time to find out after we die.. or before we are born again..
And as far as an afterlife, just one more: Robert Lanza is a scientist who claims that modern physics proves an afterlife. That’s quite a statement to make.. He argues that life creates the universe, not the other way around. He also says space and time don’t exist as we think they do.
It’s noteworthy to remember this: The big bang did not create something, it created nothing. It created ‘space’ and ‘nothing’ where, prior to that, there was presumably an absence of ‘nothing.’ That concept took me years to somewhat understand, but I always lose an understanding of it every time I begin to grapple with the concept again. Just imagine, the creation of ‘nothing.’ There are sounds to silence, to maybe there is something in nothing. It’s all so confusing.
Is it a matrix?
And are we creating it?
Food for thought on a Friday morning.
Good day.

Comet ISON has an outburst!
The chances suddenly are better we will soon see this with naked eyes in the night sky!
Comet ISON has an outburst!
Some weird Andy Kaufman stuff happening ..
I will first say I was one of the biggest Andy Kaufman fans. . truly .. He was a genius and a master in his field—his genre was either wrestling, comedy, or …whatever he decided it would be..
Sex sells. Even health care. You can sell health care two ways, perhaps. On one hand, you can show young professionals without insurance, struggling to get by, working long hours, trying to make ends meet for their families, and battling to stay healthy—Obamacare comes along and now can aid them in their struggles. Or, on the other hand, you can just remind them that they can have more sex. Apparently that is what Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, along with the ProgressNow Colorado Education, are doing in their ‘thank Obamacare’ campaign.. they decided to go with a new advertising campaign, aimed at 20 somethings, telling them that when you find out your partner has insurance through the affordable health care act, you can bang him/her. A history of inspiring government propaganda now being replaced with sex..
The only catch to all this? Porn sites are typically user friendly. Healthcare.gov is not.. Good luck finding a mate.
This is an amazing story being reported this morning .. Andy Kaufman’s brother has now stated that his brother is alive.. And even more, there is awoman claiming to be hid daughter! All known information said that Andy Kaufman, the legendary comic, died of lung cancer. The movie MAN NO THE MOON seems to show Kaufman’s real battle in the end with the disease.. However, we also know that some have spoken of Kaufman’s then obsession that would fake his own death. And now family and purported family are saying he is alive and well.. This is a fascinating story.. If you believe they put a man on the moon..
