I suggest that folks use this blog as a forum for their feelings about offensive comments... to get through to someone that they have gone too far... a kind of 'let's step outside, if you will...

Dear members,

A guy with quite some question. Thats me.
Here you go, My personal experiences and way of seeing things in life is that everything happens for a reason. And for what reason you might ask? This is the question you guys might have or can answer, and that would be lovley, since I'm not quite sure.

I'm so tired of reading people's arguments on the internet.

I don't like debating religion. For one it's not my strong point, two it is ingrained in peoples identities very deeply so it always leads to conflicts and offense (unless you share the same beliefs that is) and three I'm still on my spiritual discovery path or whatever. I don't know whats going on, I'm trying to figure it out.

folks

a letter of mine published in a daily paper in my part of the world next to one
that says GM not downsizing as such in Asia-Pacific. probably not to 'scare' the poor guys further... :)

'SYSTEMIC FAILURE' OF CAPITALISM

Paradigm shift needed

THE recent filing for bankruptcy by General Motors is further testament to the systemic failure of capitalism.

There are two things about life that never cease to amaze me, one is how painful it can be and the other is how simple and beautiful it can be. When things are going well it is very easy to grab onto that experience and expect life to remain good and comfortable but inevitably it changes and we experience pain and difficultly which we tend to want to avoid or push away.

In case you hadn’t noticed, our brand of western civilization thrives on a macho frame of mind. The go out and get it, bring home the bacon, never give up, do something even if it’s wrong, fight that evil, hero’s ethic, dominates our current society. If there is to be any meaningful shift in human consciousness, it must include a correction in our cultural machismo.

Dear Friends

this was another letter i sent in to an English daily in my part of the world published late last year.

it is inspired by the abject failure of Capitalism that we are witnessing, and the slow but sure move towards a just, fair and compassionate way of doing things.

"I REFER to “The happy artist” (Dec 16).
What we can learn from 23-year old

Check this out, this is a weird story. I was sitting in Barnes and Noble today reading a book. You know just killing time right. I look up from my book to rest my eyes for a minute and the strangest feeling over takes me, almost like a sad, angry dispair. I was sitting in my chair looking around at the store, the speakers were playing a soft kind of relaxing jazzy number.

the mayans have been known throughout history to be the ultimate time keepers and have created calenders that are precisely accurate to this day. They have tracked every major lunar cycle, eclipse, and planetary alignment since astrology first became a science to man. Their calendar is still accurate today. It finishes the 5th age of mankind, which is precisely on December 21 2012.

In the late 1850s, Mark Twain and his brother, Henry, worked on the Mississippi riverboats that moved between St. Louis and New Orleans. One night while staying at their sister's place in St. Louis, Twain dreamed of his brother's corpse laid out in a metal coffin in their sister's living room.

This is a video the Lord has helped me put together to give glory back to his name where it belongs and shatter all of the misconceptions that lead to death. This is not a joke, I hope you all watch this with an open mind. Peace and God Bless you all! Be Love~

Yoga teachers hear it all the time, as if the student needs them to bear witness to their sin. “It’s been two weeks since my last class.” “I haven’t been able to make it to yoga in over a month.” “I’ve been so busy, it’s been waaaaaay too long.” When students apologize for not attending class it reveals layers of self-doubt and criticism. But are you really a slacker?

I just had a good cry with a few tears of joy that I thought I'd share with you all.

but I will beat you to death with my skateboard and the MESA police, whom I'm friends with are less than a mile from my house.....and I'm glad that this man owns a gun...there are few in this world I trust with the responsibility.
