End of the world, on a street corner near you
While sitting in traffic this morning, I got stuck next to a rather foreboding man holding a sign reading ‘Repent for the kingdom of heaven is…’. I wondered what was meant by the unfinished statement. Maybe we need to finish it in our own mind. And if that was this rather large man’s intention, then I say ‘the kingdom of heaven is made of cherry cotton candy and sugar plums.’ Mmmmmm… I want to go to heaven now.

New story: Testosterone plummets when men become fathers
Almost 7 months into fatherhood, I’m not sure. I haven’t tried to put on a dress yet. I still am as paranoid and conspiratorial today as I was 7 months ago.. I like Coors Light and sometimes Lager, just like then. And I still watch the same things on TV. And I have driven a Volkswagen since 2003.
But I’ll say this, mock this study if you may, I certainly think men become more affectionate and close to family. And maybe that’s all in the chemicals.. all in the science. I just don’t know. If we do lose the manly traits, maybe it’s all for the best. This from the PBS account of emasculation:
For instance, high levels of testosterone increase a man’s risk of reproductive cancers, especially prostate and testicular cancer. It can also suppress immune function, making it more difficult to protect the body against infections.
So perhaps this child of mine will save me from the worse aspects of manhood. And maybe I’ll regain my masculinity in due time… Play ball with my son, and wonder why I cry when I miss the catch…….

Study says Spongebob and his square pants cause short term memory loss in children
I’ve tried to watch the show.. tried to get into it. But I tend to forget what I just saw every time. I guess this may explain it.

11 things I am thinking about on 9/11
Forgive me for sounding selfish, but here is what I am thinking today.
I was ten years younger, just turned 21, had a whole life in front of me
My dog Newton still was happily alive
My mom and dad were younger. So was my brother and sister, niece and nephew.
I didn’t meet my wife yet.
I didn’t have my job yet.
I didn’t have this website yet.
I still used AOL instant messenger and ICQ
I didn’t have a child..
I didn’t have a college degree yet.
I had trust in authority.
I had more privacy than I do today.
9/11/01 through 9/11/11… A lot of things around our world changed. And a lot of stuff in our collective lives changed, as did a lot of things in our private lives. Too much for comfort maybe.
…by the time 9/11/21 comes, God knows where we’ll be. But I can tell you 2021 will be here before we know it. Time continues no matter what we do to stop it. No plastic surgery will stop death. No amount of cream will stop wrinkles. No amount of liquor will stop grief. We are all in this together.
Evolution continues. Life continues…as those beams of light from Ground Zero softly go into the air.
Good evening, all.
