Was It Really Necessary Adam and Eve? Was it?!!



For the past week and half, I have been suffering from acute bronchitis. I have practically no voice whatsoever and when I take deep breaths it sounds like someone is popping pop corn in my chest and lungs. Mobility has been very limited, and for once in my life I have no strength whatsoever. So other than sleeping, swallowing pills the size of a quarter, and lack of communication, I'm having a ball.



On the bright side, everything I touch is mine, the dog and I have become closer than ever, I don't have to worry about getting surprise hugs, and my fever is so high that I can cook an egg on my forehead.

Yes, life is defiantly different from the plagued humans perspective.

Which is why I ask Adam and Eve the pondering questions:

"Was it worth it!?" "Do you really think that eating the forbidden fruit was worth it?" "What did the fruit taste like?" "How does it feel to have all people all over the world suffer and die because of your selfish, stupid, mindless, ignorance!?" "Do you see what you've accomplished? Look at all the money undertakers, nurses, and doctors make off you're dumb mistake, why without you they would be out of business!"

Indeed, these are the thoughts that have been going through my head for the past week and half. Honestly, I have imagined myself walking into the Garden of Eden and tackeling both Adam and Eve before they eat the fruit. I have imagined myself taking a sledgehammer and knocking  they're skulls in before they even get near the tree. I have imagined myself taking a chainsaw and cutting down the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and burning it to roast smores.


The imagination is truly a gift from God.....

So, in closing; I would like to say that I am angry at the first man and woman and snake, and if I ever encounter any of the morons who played a part in cursing all humans of the world, I...am...going....postal.

That is all.

The Real Valentines Day Story




This blog is for all the people who think Valentines day is all about chocolate, half naked kids with wings and aerial assault weapons and strategically awkward love sick dingbats. (maybe that was a bit harsh, but you get the idea.)

This is Valentines day from a historic viewpoint

Its about St. Valentine. Numerous early Christian martyrs were named Valentine. The Valentines honored on February 14 are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome was a priest in Rome who was martyred about AD 269 and was buried on the Via Flaminia. His relics are at the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome, and at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland.
Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him put to death.

Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailer's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine', words still used on cards today.

The Rare Breed





So, what if you knew that females like you only existed in 0.5% of the U.S. population? Some one who is an  observer, values solitude, perfectionist, detached, private... does not talk about feelings, hard to impress, analytical, likes esoteric things, and a low tolerance for stupid people and whiners

The villianous criminal mastermind personality. INTJ














What do you expect? Hahaha! ^_^

Upon learning this, it expalins a whole lot. Like why I was reading books like Donte's Inferno at 4.

Logical, Linear thinking, sacracstic, obsessed with knowledge, intuitive, abrasive, intellectual, observant, objectionable, multi-intelligence abilities, and a bit of a robot....its going to be an interesting life.

Let There Be Joy...


Let There Be Joy..



I'll admit, I have a hard time putting up a front. If I'm angry, I'm angry. If I'm depressed, I'm depressed...My face always tells on me every single time I try to cover up a emotion. Its a complete part of who I am and will always be.

But lately I've been abundantly happy. I feel a sense of complete purpose in my life. Its like opening your eyes and seeing a beautiful foreign land for the first time. Ah, the beauty, the wonderful sights, sounds and smells that you're body drinks in. It almost too much ot keep it to yourself. I've found myself laughing a lot, smiling alot and being exceedingly happy or joyful.

And I like it.


Its like running through a mile long  field of dasies in a long  blue flowing dress on a breezy summer afternoon just as the sun is sinking in the distance giving the world a golden glow. There is a wimsiness and sheer bliss that makes me think of a childhood long forgotten. Its a wonderful surge of complete joy.

If it is at all possible, I hope it stays like this for a long time. --Praise Sharp

How to Drive People Insane.....its easier than you think

HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY AND DRIVE OTHER PEOPLE INSANE...





1. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)

2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does.

3. Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you're doing.  For example: 'If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom.'

4. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in Palmolive.

5.Put mosquito netting around your cubicle.

The interesting thing about hugs




What Is Hugging?
 
Hugging is natural, organic, naturally sweet, free of pesticides and
preservatives. Hugging contains no artificial ingredients. It's
100% wholesome. No calories, no caffeine, no nicotine.


Hugging is nearly perfect. There are no removable parts, batteries to wear
out, no periodic checkups. It consumes little energy, while yielding a lot.


It's inflation-proof. It's nonfattening. There are no monthly payments.
No insurance requirements.
It's theft-proof, nontaxable, nonpolluting,
and fully refundable. And it costs very little.


Hugging is healthy. It assists the body's immune system, it cures depression,
it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it invigorates, it rejuvenates,
and it has no unpleasant side-effects.
Hugging is no less than a miracle drug.


Adults, Infants and Hugging
 
 
Adults love to hug babies and they do it as often as possible. Adults
love to hug other adults, too, yet they seldom do. The reason for this
is surprisingly simple ... adults are not afraid to initiate and enjoy
hugging with infants because there's little chance of rejection.


What Sort of People Like Hugging?
Nice people. People who like to share things. People who make
themselves and the world they live in a little happier by hugging.


The Best People, Places, and Times to Hug?

Anyone. Any place. Any time.

The Value of Hugs
Hugs are free ... perhaps that's why so many take them for granted.
If hugs cost a lot of money, people would probably knock
themselves out to make enough to buy them.


Although hugs are free, they're worthless if they aren't used. An
unused hug is lost forever. On a planet that's starved for affection,
can we really afford to lose a single hug?


Asking for Hugs
 
Scientific Research Has Shown the Following:


Every human being needs four hugs per day merely to survive.


Eight hugs per day to maintain oneself at a strong emotional level.


Twelve hugs per day to grow and become a better person.


For those who aren't always comfortable with the traditional hug,
you should at least try one of the other following forms of Hugs:

A kind word.
A touch.
A loving smile.
A "Thank you!"
A "Forgive me."
A "Can I help you?"
A "I'm Sorry."
And anything else you can do to make a person
feel good about him or herself.

Abstract? Absolutely.

As you may or may not know I have decided totry my hand at abstract art. Needless to say, I am enthralled. There are so many things that I want to try and do yet I only have three canvasses at the moment.







As I was shopping for some oil paints, I began to think a bit about abstract art and people in general.
Sometimes abstract art dosen't make sense...it usually takes a while to figure out what the artist is trying to communicate. Sometimes you can't figure it out at all.

For some odd reason this made me think of a time when I was about 12 years old I was at the local art museum at home...and there was an exceedingly odd abstract painting....being curious, I stood in front of it for 10 minutes. I moved close to it, tilted my head to the left, then to the right....I backeed up, squinted my eyes, widened my eyes....I bent over....every position that I forced my body into, That painting looked like only one thing: it looked like a indigo giraffe riding a  periwinkle bicycle while eating a black bananna.
Fortunately, the artist was nearby and he said that it was a windmill up close.

I do believe that there are people like this, you try to look at them form every single angle that you see possible....and some times you don't get them (I am probably one of these people). Some times you have to ask the artist a few questions, he might answer you or let you try to figure it out on your own. It usually takes a great deal of time to figure out the typical, "Abstract person." Once you do figure out a little about them, you never look at them the same again. With this new perspective, you begin to notice details that you never noticed before, those new found details draw you deeper and deeper into the abstract way of thinking shown on canvass.

By the way the word: Abstract means:


not concrete: not relating to concrete objects but expressing something that can only be appreciated intellectually
2. theoretical: based on general principles or theories rather than on specific instances
  • abstract arguments

  • 3. arts nonrepresentational: not aiming to depict an object but composed with the focus on internal structure and form

    Have a great New Year
