A little iPhone artwork to start the night.. Happy Friday all.
TIME magazine offers this up: The ‘kill shot’ trophy image is nothing new..
An “everybody’s doing it” defense..?
But an excuse for the trashing of the human rights of civilians? No excuse.. Sorry TIME, no excuse..
Shawn Mullins was so late 90s..
State workers in lottery pool claim their $319 million
Of course, as life goes, things are never perfect.
There was one person that day who typically joined in office lottery pools who chose this time around not to. And now, the lucky 7 will decide whether to share with the 8th man out.. And if they don’t? How cruel..
But winners take and losers break.
I guess that’s the way of the world, at least when you’re deep into the cash reward of $319 MILLION dollars..
Michio Kaku - ‘Three Raging Reactor Meltdowns’..
Milk: it does a body good? Maybe so.. but with traces of radiation being found in American milk supplies, the question of safety is coming into question. Doctors and governments are telling us to keep drinking.. When milk moustaches turn green with radiation, though, is when we all have a problem..
Along with milk, the government is also ruling something else to be safe: Body scanners..
Obama admin estimates that GOP government cuts would kill (kill) 70,000 kids..
In between games of GUITAR HERO, a 12-year old astrophysics prodigy says that the sky is the limit..
A $600,000 frog sculpture that lights up, gurgles “sounds of nature” and carries a 10-foot fairy girl on its back could soon be greeting Defense Department employees who plan to start working at the $700 million Mark Center in Alexandria, Va. this fall. That is unless a new controversy over the price tag of the public art doesn’t torpedo the idea.
Waking up to the words of weather predictions calling for up to 8 inches if snow by tomorrow. The winter that never ends hitting again..,
..so does a child in the house increase a likelihood of spirit activity? Or are these the ramblings and raised-arm-haired chills of someone who is not being rational about shadows on the wall?
It’s just strange when my wife assumes I walk by her in a hallway when I don’t.. or when I hear the noise of walking on carpet when nothing, after all, is there…
Sleep deprivation? .. or the real thing?
Oh I just don’t know.
But what I do know is that every time Ayden wakes up from a 5 minute nap, he thinks it’s feeding time, no matter how recent he ate. It’s like the baby version of 50 FIRST DATES. But it’s all good.
Spirits and all.
Enough tic-tac-toe shapes in the sky later, and how could you not admit that planes are making some very strange shapes in skies that one day way back when were blue…
Just as trade winds take Fukushima’s radioactive particles throughout the world—as for as Massachusetts to Russia and back to Japan again—a group is warning that the EPA is readying a dramatic increase of allowable radiation in water, food, and the air..
Timing is everything.. And the timing on this is very interesting indeed…
I guess I was a kid in ‘99.. An old man in ‘11? A dad nonetheless. While the kids aren’t alright I hope mine will be.. Goodnight all.
Laugh if you must, but I bet if you listen to this song by Celine Dion you’ll be humming it by the end.. Good evening everyone..
Nevermind whether God exists.. I’ve often wondered, do we exist? Sure, to ourselves we do. But do others exist to us? We are conscious only of ourselves and cannot feel what others do, and in turn, they cannot feel what we do. Therefore, to others, we very well may not exist too. And if we don’t exist to them, and they don’t exist to us, does anyone really exist. Maybe the only real thing that exists is ego. And when you take away ego, we become nothing….
Answers enabled should you wish to opine..
KD Lang takes us into the long night.. Goodnight, wherever you are..
Before I write anything else, it’s worth noting: It feels like mid December .. And it’s spring time. The days are getting longer but not warmer, at least not here in the East, where cold seemingly snuggled into the lands back in January and stuck around ever since. Snowstorm after snowstorm, brief thaws that only turned to ice.. All that behind us, but what’s ahead? Apparently more snow—forecasters are at least speaking of some predictions that snow yet again will strike Coal Speaker home base by the middle to end of the week…
Nonetheless, tonight, as the sun’s final rays faded into black, a cold wind blew as I walked outside. And I couldn’t help but think of Long Beach Island.
I’m a part time vacationer—which means if I actually go on vacation I really don’t enjoy myself.. Something deep down prevents any form of relaxation, I guess. I imagine it will get even tougher with a child in the family—but at least now there is a rewarding reason not to relax.
But as a lover of Long Beach Island, I just can’t stop wondering how the little slice of paradise is tonight?
The winds are cold there, too, I’d guess. But along with those cold winds come beautiful sites of a bay on one side of the highway and a deep and dark ocean on the other…
I miss it. I hope to go back. And I hope my wife and I can introduce a young and inquisitive Ayden to the little island as well.
Maybe he will become a lover, like me, of Chicken or the Egg. Maybe the little AM will enjoy the PM watching over the island from the lighthouse at the top.. And maybe even he, like me, will enjoy the humble rooms of the Buccaneer Motel.
I hope..
It’s been a while since I was there. Maybe this year I can get back there..
That is, of course, once these cold and biting winds go away and warmth comes back ..
ROLLING STONE today may have forever changed the course of American history with their publication of the secret, and very sickening, hidden war crimes photos..
Interesting future the world is heading to.. Draconian. Strange. What will society be like by 2050? …for one, it may not be very mobile, unless perhaps by then we will have teleportation technology.
So 20th century… Maybe it will make print be en vogue all over again
Both sunspot regions 1176 and 1183 have unstable magnetic field configurations. Increased chance for strong flares.
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight — Genesis
Goodnight all.
We need more lerts.
And
The Solar Dynamics Observatory has released a new video of a very active sun.. A ‘sun tentacle’ was seen.. You can always find the latest and greatest—or not so great—news on solar eruptions and other space news on SpaceWeather.com.. It’s worth a visit..
But the other numbers, most likely much closer to the truth, are reading about 10,000 times higher than safe levels—with reactors still melting down as the clock ticks on. The radiation is so high, the whole operation at Fukushima is more like a suicide mission.
This weekend, it seems like the NCAA and March Madness has dominated the news as opposed to true life-threatening issues like the still developing madness in Japan..
But why … was it retracted for inaccuracies? Or perhaps because the levels are really high and no one really wants anyone to know it.
Some links for thought:
Radiation in China..
Radiation reaches Florida..
Radiation found in Nevada..
Radiation found in Massachusetts..
Good evening all..
Have a safe, sturdy, and mysterious Saturday night.
Be careful out there..
An interesting story on a Brazilian who said he operated on Gadhaffi in the 1990s come to light..
According to Dr. Liacyr Ribeiro, he removed belly fat from Mommar Gadhafi and injected it to his face. Gadhafi also got hair plugs..
And while that alone may be a little crazy to some, perhaps even crazier is this little tidbit on the actual procedure:
The secretive four-hour procedure in 1995 was done, at Gadhafi’s insistence, with local anesthesia because he wanted to remain alert. Midway through, the Libyan leader stopped to have a hamburger
Near-Earth asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass within 0.85 lunar distances from the Earth on November 8, 2011.. And it’s going to be very, very close.
People begin to get a little angry about austerity..
Anarchy at the Ritz in the UK
It’s not Tumblr. And not a blog. But still, in my mind, worth a visit.
The first of many trips for Ayden Morris to the mall.. Although I hope he’s not a tremendously rude animal like the preteens and pubescent teenagers are on Friday nights.. Perhaps family trips to a mall are in order..say on Wednesday night? If of course malls exist.. But alas, Friday is no time for philosophical forays into futuristic prognostication .. I think I’m just hungry..
Venus … or Saturn.. or wherever. Goodnight.
Japan in crisis.
Economic problems everywhere.
War in Libya.
But this person found it necessary to ignore the higher purpose in life and instead throw a charity jar and go crazy—in a bikini mind you—at a Alabama Burger King… all over a Whopper Jr and fries.
Although in her defense, 20 minutes for third-rate meat and greasy fries may be a bit too much.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
Getting a little like a movie.. We just need an action hero, but it appears no one is on the way..
Just wondering.. Thoughts? If not.. that’s fine. Feel free to quote the Bible since someone today told me that the Bible says we ‘coexisted’ with dinosaurs before……. So I was told.
Another developing story about another potentially deadly natural disaster..
Suddenly Japan says WATER IN TOKYO IS SAFE FOR INFANTS! A miracle, I guess..
It’s my hope that the good people of Tokyo are not being lied to.. It’s my fear that they are.

I have to say: Agreed. The basic database structure of Tumblr seems quite awry.. Even tonight on here, and I am sure lots of other Tumblr based sites, posts are appearing without reason and vanishing without warning. Sure, Tumblr tweeted that the fix is occurring.. But how many more problems before the massive increase in traffic the site has been enjoying leaves for the next thing—that works?
Right now: 33 degrees, sleeting. And it’s thundering with flashes of lightning.. And it’s spring. And it’s all weird.
The condition is While the is known as deformational plagiocephal, it has no treatment, and it seems to have become quite a problem since 1992 SIDS campaign began..

It is now at the point where water in Tokyo is becoming so radiated that officials are telling the city residents to stop giving tap water to infants.. Bottled water is sold out throughout the city.. Other cities are affected too. Food is also a concern—and now the FDA in the U.S. is releasing statements of their own concern about food imports and saying they will not allow foods from certain prefectures to enter the United States.
Radiation has now reached: Iceland, the US, the UK. We’re told in ‘trace amounts’ that are ‘not harmful.’ Ok then.
Adding insult to injury: Another 6.0 quake struck the northern area of Japan, not far from the already quake-ridden Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility today
It’s my hope we’re not on the eve of destruction… but our daily news would say otherwise.
Sleep tight. Don’t let bedbugs .. bite.
Do kids see more than adults? …and of course, in my somewhat superstitious way, I mean ghostly presences of someone or something else? Do they have the ability, even at the age of 1 months like my son Ayden, to sense feelings in other people? I find it absolutely amazing that when Ayden hears mom and dad raise voices a bit or get a little edgy, so does he.. And likewise during happy times he is at ease. If a child, who only is able to find his tongue at this point, can interpret moods of his parental figures, how would it be unlikely that he too would sense the feelings, spirits, or …things…that adults choose not to see?
That question only holds weight though if you’d enter the matter with the pre-ordained thought that there are ‘things’ like ghosts out there to see to begin with. Kids see them. Adults really don’t. And adults tell kids they are all wrong.. No monsters under the bed. No spirit in the closet.. nothing watching you through the window.
So adults say…perhaps saying only what they want to believe.
