Dedicated to a dear friend.

My dear friend Mariana Kafart is leaving us for greener pastures in Washington DC. She has been accepted to a 1 year masters program at Georgetown University which begins on sometime next week. I wanted to take the time to thank her for her friendship and to let her know that we will all miss her while she is away. I am very pround of miss Khafart and pretty soon I will have to refer to her as Dr. Khafart. So my dear friend, farewell, good luck, live long and prosper, and above all, via con dios.

The Adam & Eve Theory

On my way home from work Friday afternoon I was lost in though about family and how amazing it is to be a kid. This is not due to the fact that they have no responsibilities and such, but because of how they are so captivated by the little things in life. They approch the world with these big fun loving eyes and enough curiosity to kill all nine of a cats lives. They dont care what they say or do, whether they may be naked or not, whether what they are doing is wrong or right. They are free to explore and learn and LIVE. At that same moment I was struck by a line in the song I was playing on the car stereo. The verse is highlighted in light blue.

MATISYAHU
"Time Of Your Song"

The world is moving to the song I hear,
Who's that singing, wind is rushing in my ear,
Mind gushing memories almost lost everything,
Felony and fellows running in my dream,
We were in the van where the hits were driving,
Saw myself In the highlands at age 13
And I'm asking questions to the present day me,
Moving backwards down the hill see we were posting.

[Chorus]
Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sunray make the people say
And a vision something's missing so they're screaming out loud
Keep my feet on ground and my head in the clouds.
I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go
And I know and I go and I go get up and go
Make me feel its for real tell me what you know.

I don't need to glorify, Ate the apple of the tree and tried to lie, In the garden ill remember That's when I started to sing I said death brings life into uncertain things, Cut some slack for me Sun setting autumn breeze Sound is moving like a chorus Keep hearing that melody, Check the radio but theres nothing playing, Check the radio again but theres nothing playing.
[Chorus]

Rewind:

Dub-wise!

Swing low, sweet chariot of flames
Change my name, Yo!
It Was always the same,
Till if only what you find when you climb,
Check the radio but of all that shines there's no time,
My life is making your mind work in overtime,
But along the line you'll have to pay for the crime.
Slow it down You turbo too soon,
Vroom vroom then you want to blast off unto the moon,
But you might get trapped in a temple of doom,
You might get trapped in a temple of doom.

[Chorus]

"Ate the apple of the tree and tried to lie." Then BOOM! It hit me, and this might seem like a insignificant view to some, but to me it made things clearer. Kids remind me of Adam and Eve B.E.F or (Before Eating the Fruit). Think about it, they did not care that they were naked, they did not feel ashamed for what they did. They just were. As soon as they bit into the fruit they realize that they are naked and became ashamed, they are no longer comfortable in their own skin, they are afraid, they hid from God! Now we dont really have a literal forbiden fruit in our times so it must be somthing equivalent to it. Kids lose thier innocence at a certain age and thier societal & cultural conditioning takes over.

So then I thought to myself, maybe original sin is not bestowed upon us directly after birth, but that we are allowed to experience the garden of Eden as children. Followed by the equivalent of eating the fruit which forces us to exit it. I can no longer see children the same light, they see life the way I would like too. One day, I hope that I will once again knock on the door to paradise and be allowed in.

End of days or Begining of a new era in human evolution?

Has anyone noticed how in the last 10 years, more and more poeple have started to believe that we are close to the end of days, armageddon, judgment day or what ever else people wish to call it? It has come to the point where I belive that a good 60-70% of the people I have encountred believe so. Its pretty disturbing if you ask me.

Do they all sense somthing? Do we all sense something and maybe have not come to terms with it? I have no clue but as I was thinking about it the other day, I could not help but feel somthing leading me to believe that there might be.

I remeber that not to long ago, if and when the end of the world question was brought up, people would automatically consider you a bit loony. Now the roles are somewhat reversed. Could it be that we are close to some type of world changing event or is it all in our heads? Thats the question that has me a bit befuddled. I feel like there is somthing coming, but it could be a hugh positive change in the world and not exactly world ending event. Maybe its the time for a new evolution in mankind. I would rather think that we are ready for a shift into new ways of being, than to think of it as the end of all. Imagine that we make a leap in consiousness to i higher plane and end all the segregation in the world. No diffrent religions, governments, etc. Just one unified planet of earthlings who realize the great need to take care of the world we live in because it is us. I reminds me of John Lennons song "Imagine".

The lyrics are below.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one


But like most things unknown, your guess is as good as mine. If anyone has some extra info they would like to share, please do so. Also if you have also noticed the change in peoples views on the subject please state it.

Just some bumps in the road.

Some days are a joy to live, some days make my soul not want to give.

Some days you might have many friends, somedays are a means to an end.

Living life's path one bump at a time, will culminate in a journy which turned out sublime.

This is my favorite pussy...Meowser

This little guy which has grown into a big fat pussy cat, is a huge stress relief in my life. I sit in the tiki hut in my back yard and watch him chase lizards, climb trees, play with his tail, etc. He is hilarious and always puts a smile on my face. This pic was taken on the date above, about 6 days after I found him abandoned in a McDonalds parking lot. I had lost my other cat Goku a couple months back and one day I found myself in the parking lot of that MickeyD's and herd a soft hungry meow... I moved aside the branch of a bush and there he was. Just about two weeks new. He has been meowing ever since and never stops, hence the name Meowser.

Hey Blog world! I will be out for a couple days and just wanted to spare you guys the trouble of coming to check out new posts when none will come.

I know...
I Know...

You guys cant get by with out my posts but it will only be for a short while.




PS. If you guys did not catch the sarcasm then i am flat out telling you that it was just that. Working on a couple things that will keep me very busy for a little while so , i leave you with that. Hope all of you are well and continue to do well.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place...

How do you tell what is the right thing to do when there is no distigusihably bad charactersistics in the choices at hand? Thats my million dollar question for this week. I really dont know... Usually there is somthing tugging at my soul leading me on to the correct path, but now I have come to a fork in the road with two identical paths. Normaly I would go the Robert Frost way and take the one less traveled by, but whats the deal when they both appear the same? How do you advance? Is it merely left up to a guess or guesstimate? I dont want to accept that... Has anyone come across this type of predicament? If so share with me, for I am stumped at the moment. I may have done something that could either be a step back from my previous position or a blessing in disguise. I dont know and it is somthing that has eaten at me all day. I just dont know, the signs point to nothing. I have asked gods help and he usually answers in some obscure way that I manage to catch and relate to the topic for which the help was pertaining to, but I dont think I got his last memo. Fellow bloggers, share your views with me if you've got them. Thanks again...
Jah Bless

A forgotten way...

I have just recently come across a book titled "The Lakota Way: Stories and lessons for living" By Joseph M. Marshall. In the beinging I did not know what to think other than the native american way of life was somthing I really wanted to understand. Right of the bat, the author thouroughly explains this intentions and reasons for writing the book. He has put togther a collection of stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, that sort of remind me of their version of asops fables. These stories are passed down from tribe elders to the younger members of the tribe to instill the moral values nessesary to the lakota way of life. I have read through six chapters and have been blown away by the power and insight behind these stories. I would go as far to say that these are some of the best tales I have ever heard in my life, and each one has an important lesson behind it. This is an incredible book and I recomend that the world read it. For if we could instill some of these values into main stream socities, the world would be a much better place. An amazing book and I am not even done.
