The Birth of My World

Exactly what IS it like to wake up listening to your child talking to himself at the crack of dawn? (5:30am to be exact). Not whining, crying or screaming, but talking to himself.

Well I gotta tell you, it’s the same as listening to yourself talk about what you enjoy the most, to people who want to listen to you. There is really nothing else that compares. If what we experience with children in our lifetime becomes the most important learning curve we are to experience whilst we are alive, then do it!! We tend to forget exactly what it is we are supposed to learn from children. Are our own qualities that make us who we are good enough to pass on to a child?? Are we an excellent example of what we are to teach our children? I guess you will figure it out along the way and see whether or not you are worthy.

BEST QUOTE OF 2009

BEST QUOTE OF 2009...

I was emailed this and so I thought I might share it with you.
POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF
An illegal alien in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up 'executing' the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state-wide manhunt ensued. The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area and as soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times. Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor undocumented immigrant 68 times. Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: 'Because that's all the ammunition we had..' Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what! The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied "when you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die." Perfect reaction, perfect answer.

ANYONE WHO KILLS UNLAWFULLY DESERVES THE SAME FATE!!!

The idea that people think they can get away with murder, rape, torture, molestation or anything else for that matter seems to be one of the hottest topics that people do not take seriously. They are shrugged off because A. It didn't happen to them. B. It didn't happen in their town or C. They don't care that it happened. I'm sorry, but why are there people out there question, in the case above, why they had to shoot the illegal immigrant 68 times. Well, they answered the question. That's all the ammo we had! Anyone who murders in cold blood another human being, needs to be treated and made an example of.

What the world is failing to see are the long term implications that violent crimes are having on society. It is in fact getting worse. Our rights as innocent civilians seem to be eroding away. The law is changing to let criminals be free so long as you have a good lawyer. We don't need these people around that commit violence on unsuspecting innocent victims and we don't need lawyers who live on supporting criminal activities. I have said this before, if you murder someone, you deserve the same fate. It is only fair and right. This world is falling apart because of crime against humanity. String them up in the town square and let there be public choices as to what happens to criminals. Not a freak show that runs the rule in court.

Timelapse Painting - Seascape - Add Comments/Feedback

I am an artist and love to see other people at work. Time Lapse of other people painting is a great way to see a peice of artwork come to life. Although, I am getting rather tired of seeing painters doing sunsets, seascapes, trees and views from nature, I still like this piece. That's why you gotta love total abstract painting, but, none the less, this is a fantastic use of time and materials.

AMEN TO THAT!

I received this in an email today, thought I might share it with you.
The author is Paul Anthony Scott from Lancashire, GB.

An Obituary printed in the London Times. Interesting and sadly true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain
- Why the early bird gets the worm
- Life isn't always fair
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

The Importance of Bees and Our Natural Survival

There seems to be the topic of the declining bee populations that comes up in news and then disappears like every other news article that becomes like "so yesterday". But, in actual fact, the real importance of the declining bee populations should be on every news channel daily until there have been answers and outcomes that can ratify it's growing population.

The one thing we don't understand about bees is exactly how nature allows them to survive. Obviously, the capabilities of bees pollinating species of plants for growth is something we should be more than worried about, especially when the process is not happening naturally the way it used to be. Bees are a life force in nature. Like oxygen for us to breathe. What good are we, when we can't survive because there is no oxygen. Bee pollination is by far one of the most important top 5 issues we would have today.

Now, I am no scientist or expert in the field of every bee population on the planet. But, I, like many others on this sick planet, can use something called common sense to read, listen and fact find on the internet. Whether it be videos, news articles or experts blogging about studies they are running and new truths they are finding, it doesn't take much common sense to work out what is actually happening around the globe. Doing some of your own researching can uncover many truths that get suppressed because whoever it is, doesn't want you to find out. There is much proven research and conclusions made about the ever fast decline of bee population. Some experts are saying that as much as 50% of bee populations have declined in the last 50 years. (National Geographic, 2004 Article)

Now, getting down to the business of bees. There is this really good article HERE on bees and their role in providing life. I am sure there are many other articles that are better or as good or whatever but this is one that I came accross and liked because it was very understandable. What do I have to worry about declining bees?? Why don't we leave these problems up to those people and groups out there that know how to deal with it? What can I do about it? In all honesty, not much, but you can be made aware of these issues, you can feel angry that your way of life is being affected by the decisions made by government bodies and private companies. Who, in effect are out there to provide a service or product for the world consumer.But, it is the caring aspect of what they do and about what effect they are having on the environment that is left ot suffer in the wake of our consumer greed.

It ends up being the same cliche answer to everything we do though. Always ask questions later! Great attitude! Especially, when in fact these decisions for the future of me and my family are being made without my input. Everything that we do now is always for the betterment our species now and not for the betterment and survival of our future species. Bees are our future survival, oxygen is our future survival, nature and the environment in which we live in is our future and the very essence for which we take for granted. Those of you out there who wish to take care of themselves and no one else is TAKING THAT AWAY FROM ALL OF US!!! It is time we stood up and decided what future we all want to have for ourselves and our future generations.

I am sick to death of hearing about devastating stories affecting our eco-systems, death to our natural environment and the animals and living species inside of it. It is all because of human activity that deems to have a negative effect on everything. We really are a waste of space in life and the history and future history of earth. We don't deserve even getting a mention in life's history book. The only column we will be listed in will be the virus or plagues of the world that came and went just as fast as anything could erradicate us.

What good are we if we cannot even look after what we already have. We do not live and love our natural existence. 5 words that describe what we should be and what we actually are. We should be loving, careful, peaceful, respectful and open minded. What we are is greedy, hateful, disrespectful, selfish and small minded. If only we could change our habits, pass those changes on to the next generation and hope that what example we set today is a sustaining example for the future of all of us tomorrow.

Changing Consumer Language

Why is it that we, as consumers, are the ones having to make the change over to environmentally and earth friendly products. It's just another way that governments and companies can pass on the responsibility of ownership for the earth's problems to the public. Whether these problems stem from global warming, pollution of ecosystems or generally just a total misuse of the natural home in which life needs survival.

Why can't there be tighter regulations in place to force the statute of responsibility onto the developers and manufacturers (or companies) that are developing certain consumer orientated products. We have no choice but to buy what is already available on the market for our particular need. There are many ideas and inventions out there that don't ever get to see the light of day. Sure there are products on the shelves that are earth friendly already, but, there are not enough and most of these products are only there for the purpose of keeping the complaints down from environmentalist consumers who refuse to use non-earth friendly products. It's a game. There are really not enough products on the market today that reduce our impact on this planet.

Some inventions, shelved 30 years or more ago, have been suppressed from society until now. Money, money, money!!! For example, the electric car, invented way back in history and shelved because of the combustion engine. It is only now that there is an increasing interest for alternative fuels with the growing concern of hydrocarbons in the environment. A tad late, don't you think, especially where we could have integrated these cars into society to be ahead 30 years of environmental damage. Obviously, they need electricity to run, are charged from an outlet that comes from the power grid, in turn that power comes from power sources that are sourced from natural power wind farms, solar, etc.

If regulations are set in place to force the responsibility of ownership of environmental disasters onto the manufacturers and companies of these goods saying that you cannot produce any product that is not proven to be either biodegradable or harmless to the environmental systems throughout the globe, we would have less environmental problems and human health problems. The change would be so dramatic we would really start to see a big change in a short period of time.

Hey, even a simple change could be a huge change, like the size of food packaging. For example, the size of packaging to sell a 200g Doritos corn crisps packet. When we open these packets there is usually about enough product inside the packet to take up half of the packaging. All the rest is air. Cut the Packaging in half would save money on packaging and save so much wastage in landfills. When you calculate this across all everyday items in supermarkets, it adds up to a mind boggling figure.

So, what it gets down to is, change the regulations to force environmentally friendly products onto shelves, penalise companies who do not produce them and force the reduction of over using or misusing materials to sell their product. There are so many more factors that I have not stated here and there may be so many more factors to consider, but, simply put, these are relatively small changes that can be deemed easily integrated to make a change for the future. We need to make sure we grow as a human race, out with old technology and in with new technology. Consumers are forced to move forward with technology made available to them, so should large companies, especially where our future is at stake. Right now we act as though what damage we don't see in our lifetime means we are ok as individuals. We have no idea what our actions have on the future, 100 years down the track. As they say, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE & RETHINK!

Wrong Side Of The Gangland Law

Why is it that when we turn the TV on to watch our favourite program or to just veg out and let the days stress disappear, we end up being bombarded by news that for most part, we are not even interested in? But, this seems to not be the case. Gangland crimes, underworld crimes, murderers and whatever other crime strories are of the utmost importance to our news watching.

People are really not interested in hearing about uplifting news these days it seems. The TV networks think the most interesting news to be headlined is the death of gangland member Carl Williams. Splash it all over the news, the airwaves and throw in some subliminal messages there too! Yeah, sure, it is great to hear about his death but really, there are a good percentage of people out there that don't give a flying F.......!!! Why should everyone be stricken to watch the news on such a lowlife. We should be keeping people like Carl Williams and his memory where they belong, behind closed doors and never to be heard from again.

We give these people the time of day and report on them constantly like their a god or something but this is not interesting! We don't care!!! He deserved what he got in jail. Why bother giving him the time of day to figure out how he died. Excellent, whoever it was that BASHED him in jail did what should be common law and saved a tonne of taxpayers dollars to keep him in jail. An eye for an eye!!! Throw away the key to the case and move on to the next.

Time and money should be spent on people who need it, that help to make this world we all live in a better place. Crime should not be tolerated at all. Too many stories and cases seem to get lenient sentences and let off with a slap on the wrist. Harsher penalties need to be laid on criminals. This goes for any age. Anyone caught for any criminal activity need to be dealt with accordingly. Set a standard for gods sake. What are we trying to prove and teach our kids? If someone is convicted of murder and it's an open & shut case and they seem to reoffend too many times then they deserve the same treatment. They are not learning anything are they. Bring back medieval punishment. No jail time, straight to execution. If they blatently did it, then so what. If they get caught for grand theft auto, cut off a hand. Who cares about them. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM!!!!!! They obviously have issues and are too much of a menace to society. Sociopathic tendancies should not be tolerated.

Watch CSI, Law & Order, or any police crime show on TV and we see criminals getting caught, handcuffed, led out to the police car, open the door and carefully help them in the car like they deserve good treatment. What we should see is a bit of rough treatment. Whoops sorry, I didn;t mean to smash your head on the door frame as you were being helped into the cop car. Sorry about that, ohhh....sorry I did it again, sorry about that. WHAT THE HELL!!!

Anyway, that is all I have to say right now. I really hope times change so that in 500 years from now we can look back on our history and say that this era was a time of giving, helping, loving, caring and changing lives for everyone.

Fairly True Nature of Friendship

The fairly true nature of friendship seems to always come back at times when you need a really solid, true friend to talk to. Someone who knows you, who will not judge you knowing your somewhat good or bad history you have with them. It is about now & not about what was! Why can there not be more of these people around you when you may need them. How do we operate every day without these souls around us. They are, simply put, there for when you most need them. They are not to be around you all the time. They are only there for a short period of time in intervals throughout your life. Too much of them will make you not want to be around them, yet not interacting with these spirits makes your spirit not seem to grow in certain ways. Ways that are needed for your own spiritual growth.

How do we control the amount of interaction we get from them. Like, should we force trying to contact them. No we shouldn't! Letting it happen naturally is really the only way of knowing whether or not that person should truly be in our lives. If all of a sudden they call you or vice versa, then that is when it was meant to happen. Do you ever make that phone call to this person and get no response. Or they are out of the country till such a time or live in another city away from you. Or simply, the energy of the phonecall suggests that they do not particularly want to catch up with you at all. Then all of a sudden you make the same call 2 years later and they were about to call you. How many times does that happen. They are they moments I am talking about.

As we move along in life we are given challenges, given people to interact with & so on. Also, if you meet your true soul mate this too is the reason why we spend all of our time with them. If we force issues upon our defined but unwritten lifes path, then we are not letting our destiny roll on out. We can control our destiny but the POB's and 'destiny' have their own ideas of what they want for each of us. Like, for example, today I might plan a trip to England in 3 months time. A week later or closer to the date planned to go away, a major event happens like a death, a business proposal you can't refuse or you meet someone special in that time you now do not want to let go of. People come in and out of our life at the times when we most need them to be a part of it at that particular moment & WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT! There is a reason for their return & then their absence. We must trust that what they are bringing into your life is for a purpose and then that is it. There is always a message for everything that happens.

All you have to do is listen. Do not force events to happen & trust that what you are doing at this particular moment was supposed to happen, then you will be a happier soul. Every moment is as important as the last one that passed by. The ones that have not happened yet are the ones you don't want to miss out on so long as you were meant to experience them. Create a path and go with it. Things have a tendancy to work themselves out. It does not mean though that you cannot ask for help. We all need it at some point to get ourselves through life. Everyone does at some point.
