Merry Christmas


Christmas Eve morn’, and I’m up quite early (4:00am), even though it is a day off. The house is quiet; I’m in the living room with the tree lit, some Christmas tunes on and a cup of hot coffee. My wife, and our dog are still asleep, and there is a glow of the outside lights coming in through the living room window. As someone once said, it doesn’t get any better than this. I do need to take the trash out, but that gives me a chance to check out the sky. Orien is still up, but he’s already moved far to the west. No moon, we’re at the half moon currently, but I don’t see it right now. It’s cold, dark, quiet and beautiful.


I love Christmas. As a kid it was Santa, snow, presents, another turkey dinner, the secret Christmas plans my brother, sister and I used to make, buying and wrapping presents, and of course opening them! Luckily I grew up in the ‘60’s, when toys were really cool. Green Ghost, Mouse Trap, the Playmobile, Multi-Pistol 09, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. stuff, chemistry sets, microscopes, plastic army men, Operation, Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots, Mr. Machine, you know, the list goes on. In a fit of childhood longing last year I got on EBay and now own (to the dismay of my wife), a Golferino!

As an adult I still love Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ. Anyone who doubts the reality of this could merely sit back and observe the change that slowly comes across the country at this time of year. I know, all the crap still goes on, but for a brief while it gets overshadowed. There are more smiles, more doors held open, more handshakes and hugs. For a while strangers care about strangers, friends and family begin to tell each other how much their friendships and relationships mean to them, and it comes from the heart. Look around and real miracles can be seen happening every day.

Personally, I have doubts that this all happens due to the proper mixture of primordial ooze and a flash of lightening, but I digress.

Back to Christmas. Actually, it’s nearly time to be off for Christmas. There are still a few things to help Santa with, food preparations for tomorrow, breakfast out with my wife, and I’m sure a few things that I’m not aware of yet.

So Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Every Picture Tells A Story




Time to have fun with photo's.
It isn't often that you come across a set of stairs like this one....
Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it.



Same ocean a few thousand miles away...
This is the way to see it. A goal worth working towards.
Not much to say about a self portrait.
No set of pictures is complete without including Hobie
the end...

They're Out to Get Us!


What started out as an innocent morning of surfing the net has turned into one of my nightmares come true. I woke up early, and put on the old AM radio to do some early morning listening. Luckily I caught the tail end of Coast to Coast (interesting, but not the same without Art Bell, Sorry George), and heard a new one. The Lennon Prophecy, John Lennon, not Vladimir (which is spelled Lenin, and that fact seems to escape a number of people).


Turns out John Lennon sold his soul to the devil for fame, which resulted in Mark David Chapman turning up twenty years later to collect payment. Yep. It’s all there, in a book believe it or not. That led to an internet search, which eerily turned up the following results, and Paul isn’t dead!

John Lennon was murdered by either the CIA, FBI, or the above mentioned. I decided to pursue the internet further, and by following links I came across other astounding facts.

Jim Morrison was murdered, and is alive raising horses in the Pacific Northwest.

An amazing number of rock stars died at the age of 27…some type of conspiracy here too. My research turned up an amazing and previously unrelated bit of information , they were all drunk/stoned, or drunk and stoned, at their time of death. With histories of drug and alcohol abuse, this made it much easier for the CIA, FBI, NSA, DSI, NASA, NOAA and the National Weather Bureau to load them up their chemicals of choice! (Except for Jim Morrison and Elvis, who are both alive).

The moon landing was a hoax, 9/11 was done by the government, JFK, RFK, and MLK were all assassinated by the mob, the Cubans, the FBI, CIA and others still yet unnamed. These are common every day well known facts. But, did you know:

The Illuminate rule the world and always have, and the Freemasons help.

Mr. Ed was really a zebra painted white.

Everything is George Bush’s fault.

The Middle Ages Never Existed….this is a new one for me, I guess between adult endeavors such as working and going to school I missed out on this one!

Denver International Airport (Area 52) has mural full of messages about the end of the world, 2012, has an underground maze capable of housing 5 million people, and will be the center of, you guessed, the NEW WORLD ORDER!

The Titanic was sank for insurance money. It really hit a blacked out ship that was there to be part of the rescue, as well as the California. This one goes on and on.

And this is just the beginning of the conspiracies going on. What isn’t clear to me yet is exactly why everyone want sto rule the world, and what it is about our everyday lives that is so interesting to the powers that be, but…that is probably another entry.

Look under the bed before you go to sleep tonight.
