GHOST ADVENTURES Ayden edition
Saturday morning craziness here maybe for some followers of mine, but this morning while Tara and I were videoing Ayden in his post-casting of his leg and, to our surprise and his, he began to point around the room and become distracted by something.. He followed something with his eyes, his entire body moved to find whatever it was he was looking for. When we reviewed the tape…. mom and dad found a white orb-like object moving where Ayden looked.
Seriously.
It’s interesting because I am addicted to ghost shows on TV—with the exception of GHOST ADVENTURES, they just annoy me sometimes.. But with all my addiction aside I am typically quite scientific and skeptical of videos I see. I analyzed the video this morning of Ayden for the past hour.. I cannot debunk it.
That in itself does not mean it is authentic or real.. I am choosing not to post it on here simply because.. well.. I don’t know what it would be that I am posting and don’t want to go onto a limb that cannot support the weight of any argument. *I did post below a little screen cap of Ayden Morris searching the room with his eyes*
It is interesting though.. In October 2010, I had a VERY brief glimpse of a strange fast moving object in the sky that seemingly vanished into thin air. My dog Bailey was still alive, but sadly she couldn’t share in my outright joy of finally seeing a UFO after years of wanting to.. On the flip side, I never really wanted to see a ghost. But if they are real, well, I suppose then the chances of us seeing one increase. Maybe having a child also do well in increasing the likelihood of strange activities? …
…I am followed on here by agnostics, atheists, Christians, pagans, and witches. I love that about who follows me.. and who I follow. So you may focus your point of view on this post and either laugh at me, think I’m crazy, or want to send me strange powders and creams to protect the house.
Frankly, I don’t know what it is that showed up… dust? A glowing orb? A spirit?…
Or just nothing?… I don’t know
Do you venture to say you do?

Here's one link I left out of the previous update
Read it and weep.
Texas CPS takes child from parents because of their recreational drug use and then goes on to destroy the child with ravaging psychotropic drugs!
"There’s paperwork saying she was screaming for mommy and daddy," Rachel’s mother said.
"And the easiest way to handle her acting up was to medicate her," said Rachel’s father.
I read the news today oh boy. And now I’m done…
I read the news today.. oh boy
The headlines and links to things that you may want to see, may not want to see.. and may be disgusted by seeing. Indeed, the earth is a mess. Here are some examples.
The silver lining is that you’re alive. And you can change it. Or at least try. Even the highest mountains can move if the earth quakes enough…
Just the facts:
- Half of Florida high school students fail reading test…
- Flesh-Eating Bacteria Consumes Man’s Penis…
- The long awaited Facebook IPO: No return today
- A pregnant woman was tasered by police three times during a traffic stop
- The student loan bubble builds and debt collectors are making upwards of $450,000 salaries a year. Think they feel good about that or just don’t care?
- 4,700 potential dangerous asteroid have been mapped near earth. That’s the good news.. The bad news is we only know of 30% of them..
- Man with six roasted fetuses arrested in Thailand…
- UK surveillance program could expose private lives…
- Surveillance .. not just the UK, but here in the US of A, too. Drones will moan in the skies.. will you look up and smile as it uncovers your every secret? Secrets that should stay secrets. Well, if you’ve got nothing to hide why care, right?
Wrong.
Care.
We have some very big questions to answer as we head down the path of surveillance. And love him or hate him, Matt Drudge had a Twitter ramble the other day that is worth quoting. He made some sense in the questions asked:
Question for The New Age: If one shoots down a fed/police drone while it’s invading one’s privacy, does that make one a terrorist?
Does ‘Homeland’ need warrant to fly drones over one’s backyard? Will new drones look into window? Follow one driving? Walking? NSA protected
Can media organization use drone for ‘news gathering’? Can citizen hire private ‘eye’ in personal dispute? Or only ‘Homeland’ can have fun?
Once had LAPD tell me ‘traffic’ cam could zoom up to zit on nose. Will new drones have same ability? Big Sis Reads Lips! Or will have mic?
Alas, no one would care on TWITTER, they’re all looking down. What drones?
How soon until Rahm unleashes armed drones in Chicagoland, like he did at White House in ‘terror’ war? And can one be put on ‘no spy’ list?
…I read the news today indeed.
Hope tomorrow will be better.
We know it won’t.
See you all on the other side of the sunrise.
The sunrise.. ready to be eclipsed and shine a ring of fire.
A Friday night welcome to my new followers
I am appreciative of your support. I am always curious though of the folks who follow for only a brief moment in time. I’d imagine just an accidental click…
You don't see a story like this every day.. The newest rumor floating around Russia is that an Obama official warned that the end of the world is coming
…Does Harold Camping now work for Obama?

Today was tough. Ayden Morris was a trooper when they applied the cast. But … even troopers have bad moments. He yelled, screamed.. his face turned a strange shade of purple.. veins popped out of his forehead.. his strength was overwhelming. I think at that moment he could have seriously lifted a car in the air.
I never had a broken bone in my life. Knock on wood that it stays that way..
So I asked the friendly Doc ‘is it worse to put the cast on or take it off?’
There was laughter.. Followed by a horrific look on all our faces.
Yes, indeed. Three weeks from now Ayden’s anger may build again.
Until then….. stickers of Thomas the Train and …well, as much sugar as he wants.

Here's one to make you wonder: A mystery object nearly caused a mid-air collision
The object didn’t show up on radar..
Maybe it was a bird.
A drone?
And it brings up the question in my mind: In the future, how many people are going to believe that the drones that are about to fill the sky are actually extra terrestrial craft? And in the past, how many people already thought it…
Here's one to make you wonder: A mystery object nearly caused a mid-air collision
A stroll down amnesia lane
My wife and I looked back through old photos tonight.. Way back to those retro days of *gasp* 2005. Yes, it doesn’t seem like a long time ago.. but wrinkles add to the days and stress and weight add to our ways.
It is just strange when you stop for a brief moment and look back at yourself.
Sometimes the events captured in pictures isn’t even fresh in the mind anymore..
Time sure can be fleeting.
I think a new goal, as of now, is to live a little more like every day is the last. Strolling through photos illustrates just how rapidly it all goes.. but where does it go?
I picture Langoliers happily eating the past.
And you thought texting while driving was bad.. try this one on for size
Perhaps NATURAL NEWS titles it best:
Mindless pedestrians walk right into traffic while texting, talking on cell phones
What is happening in this nation, and world? …and street corner. People increasingly unaware of what goes on around them.
We are tuned in to Twitter and Facebook. We are streaming live.. we are Netflixing up life and Skyping until the sun sets.. we are setting up our iPads and iPods and iEverythings at the side of our bed.. ready to search and lurk at a moment’s notice. And yes, even some are putting iPods into their skin so they will vibrate with every alert.
This is our society.. Tuned in but tuned out at the same time.
A similar note, perhaps: The IQ level of the world is a fascinating thing. The listing can be found here .. Highest: Hong Kong. Where is the United States? 19th.
Find that on your Twitterfeed. Just don’t walk into traffic if you decide to click the link…
Texting.
Sexting.
Wexting (Walking while texting.)
What will be next?

There are times I really hate the summer.. one reminder of the on again off again relationship occurred today
Seriously. Summer can be great. Weather often beautiful.. long days.. warmth. Sunshine. All that romantic stuff of summer nights. Fourth of July.. Barbeques.
Oh..
And blood sucking ticks.
Yes, ticks.
For all of its beauty and wonder, there are times I despise the summer season. A few reminders occurred in the past few days: My niece unplugged a tick from her neck. My wife got one off her stomach, one we subsequently found crawling in our laundry. My dad had one on his hand. And today while driving my son home from his doctor’s appointment, one little disgusting vile creature was crawling on my arm.
I know the tick season will be worse this year because of the warm winter. Which is another reason I actually LOVE COLD AND SNOWY winters. Get the logic now?
How is tick season where you are?
Interesting story from George Knapp in Vegas: Death in the desert.. bodies buried perplex investigators
Knapp has been ferociously working missing persons stories lately.. his Coast to Coast AM show about strange disappearances in National Parks around America still resonates with many who heard it.
Great story from Knapp..
A whole new way of looking at a desert: A vast graveyard topped with sand.

Something few in the world are paying attention to right now.. but if it happens, the world will notice: A possible Euro split coming?
Merkel warns.
Greece scorns.
Euro splits…
Call it quits?
Stocks dash.
Hope no crash.
Be aware.
The Euro’s square.

The future is now: AP reports: One in 3 young adults with autism have no paid job experience, college or technical schooling nearly seven years after high school graduation, a study finds. That's a poorer showing than those with other disabilities including those who are mentally disabled, the researchers said.
As though we needed another reason to understand that the autism generation is growing up.. and when they do, will they have the chance that others did? Or will they be tossed aside by a society that doesn’t value the gifts they have?
This is a big story.. 1 in 3 is a lot. Just as 1 in 88 is, too.

PLANETS GONE ROGUE? WHAT IS BEHIND NEPTUNE?
According to one astrophysicist, something lurks behind Neptune: A rogue planet. A new entry to our solar system maybe? The newest theory of a dark icy planet yet undiscovered comes from Rodney Gomes of the University of Brazil. As expected, it sparked quite a controversy after world media picked up the story and circulated it across the planet.
And also as expected, theories abound.. is it Nibiru, the famed planet X that so many officials say isn’t existent at all?
We know this: If this planet exists, it is about four times the size of earth, according to Gomes. He also theorizes that if it’s there hiding behind the known Neptune, it was kicked out of its star system and picked up into orbit by our own sun.
Dramatic theories from an observation yet unproven, of course.
But consider this: Kepler is finding, constantly, planets. Some massive. Some possibly able to harbor life. Some maybe water. Some with two suns. This universe is still unfolding. We are tiny spokes on the wheel of something grand. Are we even aware we are on a wheel as we spin into infinity?
Gomes’ theory of another planet remains a debated theory. If it would pan out into science fact it would be spectacular, but also perhaps not overly exciting. Who knows what else lurks out .. there.
Science is often slow to embrace new truths, anyway. The educated community of people with esteemed degrees is giving the third degree to Gomes’ ideas today all over the net.
Bunk.Unreal.We have 9 planets.All that they say.
If we had a tenth, it could certainly throw off a great deal of fact we’ve been taught.. plus would lead to the inevitable ripping up of science textbooks.
And if it’s Nibiru? Well then, as imagined, all bets are off.
Something else to be scared of, something with a scary name: The "Devil's Breath"
It can block free will.
Wipe memory.
Create ‘zombies’ out of victims.
It can kill.
It is being dealt on the streets of Columbia and … well, as most drugs do, will most likely make its way around the world.
But no fear, governments are no strangers to the ramifications of the drug:
In modern times, the CIA used the drug as part of Cold War interrogations, with the hope of using it like a truth serum.
However, because of the drug’s chemical makeup, it also induces powerful hallucinations.
The tree common around Colombia, and is called the ‘borrachero’ tree – loosely translated as the ‘get-you-drunk’ tree.

Some news stories are cautionary tales to remember youthfulness doesn’t equal invincibility. But it would be very unfair to label George student’s Aimee Copeland ordeal that. After all, she wasn’t really doing anything dangerous.. but still ended up through the freak laws of nature contracting a rare form of a flesh eating disease..
The story has received a lot of worldwide attention. It’s scary to think.. zip lining with friends one minute, in a hospital after the water had germs that got into a cut and gave her a flesh eating virus. She lost a leg already.. She may lose her fingers. And her family has yet to tell her about her condition…
Something seems so wrong about this in the grand scheme of things. She is on a hospital bed going through an intense ordeal of human suffering, she has not a clue as to the ramifications of what happened to her, and yet the rest of the world reads about her situation.. The rest of the world is only connected to her by words and brief seconds on nightly news shows.
Yes, indeed, something just seems unfair about life sometimes.
The section from the ABC story that hit me the most:
"Aimee appears to have normal brain function at this time, which is something I’m celebrating because within Aimee we have a very compassionate heart and an incredible mind of intellect," said Copeland’s father, Andy Copeland.
Aimee Copeland was riding a homemade zip line near the Little Tallapoosa River May 1 when the line snapped, causing a fall that cut open her left calf.
Doctors at a nearby hospital cleaned and closed the gash with 22 staples, but bacteria that burrowed deep into the wound caused necrotizing fasciitis, a rare but deadly infection that claimed her leg one week ago.
Copeland’s family said she’s coherent and able to nod and shake her head, a gesture she used to pick the Grateful Dead over the Rolling Stones Thursday, according to her sister Paige.
"I just told her if she keeps improving like this, she’ll be out of here in no time," said Paige Copeland.
I just cannot fathom going through this. But even more cannot fathom watching someone else..
Thoughts are with this person. I hope to hell that the universe gives her as good of a spell of luck as it did give her bad luck. How unfortunate..
If you pray do it. If not, do it anything. She needs something.

How the FBI takes servers. And then reinstalls them
"I thought they were Jehovah’s Witnesses, but I joked with people on the call that it was the FBI," he said. Moments later, it was no joke.
How the FBI takes servers. And then reinstalls them
Here’s our cover this week, featuring a rainbow-haloed Barack Obama—America’s first gay president!
I’m surprised NEWSWEEK couldn’t find someone who would offer to breast feed the President to combat TIME’s Playboyish cover shot..
And in seriousness, it really should be Joe Biden on the cover as he forced the issue. Just saying.
North Korean women being sold into slavery in China
News of the world never makes a faint heart feel better. This piece of news involving women unknowingly being sold into slavery in China is included with that category of horrific news.
Reports rumor that hundreds of North Korean women are forced to work in ‘chat rooms’ selling telephone and internet sex. And who are they talking to? That particular blot appears to go to South Korea.
Human rights organizations blame South Korean gangs for some of the suffering. Working in cahoots with Chinese Koreans, investing in karaoke bars in China, they are said to hold women against their will while paying them just enough to survive."South Korean businessmen are their best customers,” says Tim Peters, director of Helping Hands Korea, dedicated to aiding North Korean children in China. “It’s a blot on South Korean society,” he says blaming the Chinese for "doing nothing about a criminal system in violation of the rights of women.”
South Korea’s apathy towards the women’s plight as they get sold to the bidders of China may make more sense when considering that many rich South Korean men are the customers..
The bottom line: Defectors who escape from North Korea are often hit with hardcore slavery in China. If they are sent back to North Korea, they face beatings, captivity, being placed in a room with 60 other women, stripped naked, and most likely tortured for their crime of defecting.
This is our modern world, everyone. Not the past. It’s the present. And until the human population gets serious about human rights, it’s the sad future too for many women.
And finally, don’t make the mistake of thinking that slavery and abuse of women is confined to one torture camp, one prison, one nation, or one continent. The untold story of so many … the internet is filled with evidence of abuse.
This Mother’s Day, honor your mother. Honor important women. Plus think about the tortured souls not being honored but instead being put through untold consequences for just being born the gender that they have been.
