A few stray Saturday morning thoughts . . .
Last night I grilled two cheeseburgers, but ate only one . . . That second cheeseburger for breakfast this am was awfully good!
Highlight of my day yesterday? A violet quartz crystal given to me by a great friend suddenly reappeared after being lost since January . . .
I DO believe in lost causes, and St. Rita . . .
If you haven't read my series on L'air (L'air V), please do that . . . Speaking of lost causes! L'air is the Miracle Man . . .
Gotta do some cardio today . . .
I really don't believe the Israelis and Palestinians will ever come to anything close to an agreement . . . I say that with great sadness . . . Then again, I could be wrong . . . What did I just say about lost causes? Hmmm . . .
My dear friend the artiste, whose exhibition opening took place Thursday evening, has already sold nine pieces! Atta boy bro!
I was awakened early this morning by neighbors kids having a VERY loud party outside . . . It was 215 am, and Eminem was blasting, with Fuck this and Fuck that . . . Just what you want to hear at 215 am, right? lol The sad thing is, I was having the best dream, and they ruined it for me . . . Damn!
Life is beautiful baby!!
Peace and love . . .
Until next time . . . Ciao!!

Gay or straight . . . A choice? Are you kidding me?
You know the feeling . . . From time to time, we come across a story that gets the juices flowing . . . Or perhaps, boiling! Such is the case for me after reading yet again about a group that claims to be able to "straighten out" people, in this case boys, who exhibit the tendency towards "effeminate" behavior, or boys who may have "gay tendencies", whatever that means! These groups have been around for a long time, and many seem to have religious/fundamentalist affiliation . . .
Sometimes, we have to scratch our heads and wonder if this really is the 21st century? How on earth can some people (hopefully though a minority in society!) still be so incredibly backward in their thinking? To think that I've CHOSEN to be straight is absurd . . . To think that the gay friends I have or have had in my life have CHOSEN to be gay or lesbian is equally absurd . . . We are what and who we are! Gay, straight, bisexual, it's WHO WE ARE!
Does the Creator frown on homosexuality? Personally, I don't think the Creator could care less about a person's sexual orientation . . . Truly, it's a small part of the totality of the human being . . . I believe the Creator would be more concerned with how much love, kindness, compassion, empathy, etc a person displays . . . In short, what is in their heart?
Anyone who tells me that their God (or their CONCEPT of their God) condemns homosexuality is going to lose me right away . . . It isn't even worth discussing . . . And I can't relate to that God AT ALL . . .
My grandfather was born left handed . . . He didn't make the choice to be left-handed . . . In kindergarten a century ago, his left hand was tied behind his back to force him to use the right hand . . . The message being, there's something WRONG with you fella if you're left handed . . . How does that play on the psyche of a child, when they're told they're abnormal? How do others view them when they're portrayed as abnormal? Now extend that to sexual orientation, and the damage done to those who are forced into some kind of quack therapy in order to make them straight/normal(?)? It should be criminal . . .
The whole thing is sick . . . I'm not looking to get into a discussion with anyone about this, because we never change the minds of backward thinking people who base their backward thinking upon religious interpretation . . . Discussion is fruitless . . . I'm just blowing off steam . . . LOL And BTW, I'm NOT AT ALL insinuating that all Christians, or all Jews, or all Muslims etc take this backward approach to sexual orientation, and the need to change the orientation of certain people . . . I know several very religious individuals who have no problem with say, gay Christians or gay Jews . . . And I'd hope that most would feel exactly that way . . . Unfortunately though, there are still enough misguided ones around who can do a LOT of permanent damage through their whacky views and actions . . . No doubt, in their minds, I'm going straight to Hell . . . But, ya know what? There is no Hell! Man, THAT will surely get them going, huh? Hah!! :)
Life is beautiful baby!
Peace and love . . .
Until next time . . . Ciao!!
PS I'm left handed too, and proud of it!! :)

The body says no, but the mind says yes . . .
I know what you're thinking . . . lol Nah, I'm talking about the art exhibition opening I have to attend tonight . . . My good friend the artiste has an exhibition opening tonight, and honestly, I feel like staying in . . . Have a bit of a cold . . . But what does a good friend do? He sucks it up and gets his ass to the opening . . . And really, once there, it'll all be good! Plus, I'm transporting L'air, the miracle man (I've written about him extensively here, the latest being L'air V), and it'll be wonderful to see him . . .
So what's the point of this? We do what we have to do, and that's that . . . Friendship and love override selfish impulses, right? Or, should? Yeah, I suppose that's exactly the point!
Life is beautiful baby!!

My newest hero . . .
Jill Bolte Taylor is a neuroscientist who suffered a stroke in late 1996 at thirty-seven . . . Due to her deep knowledge of brain function and anatomy, she was able to track the stroke as it occurred, giving her a unique perspective to a very serious event . . .
Because the stroke was in the left brain, her right brain became dominant and she felt a deep sense of peace, a kind of spiritual euphoria she'd never felt before the stroke . . . She's written a terrific book called My Stroke of Insight . . . In this book she chronicles the events of the stroke as they occurred . . . She also does an excellent job of explaining brain anatomy and function in a way that the lay person can follow, especially focusing on left brain vs. right brain . . . This is a book that anyone with a scientific or spiritual bent should seriously consider reading . . . It's great! She also offers some important spiritual insights, that any reader can gain from . . . There are some videos on Youtube of her speaking about her experiences . . . Also a terrific video on TED . . .
She has an inspirational story, and is without question a hero! Check out her website . . .

Lessons learned . . .
In no particular order of importance . . .
Stay active, and don't give in to society's perception of how a person of a specific age should act . . .
Keep learning, no matter what it is . . .
Seeing the humor in things will take us a long way . . .
Find the silver lining . . .
The Universe is speaking to us all the time . . . It's a good idea to listen!
Minimize worrying, because so much of the worrying we do is completely unnecessary and unproductive . . .
Be consciously grateful . . .
Stay away from extension ladders as much as possible . . .
People always show us by their actions, more so than their words . . .
Be in sync with the Universe . . .
Never wish harm to any other person . . . VERY bad for the karma!
Take me for granted at your peril . . . LOL
When looking after an inebriated friend, it's wise not to stand in FRONT of him . . .
Recognize the Divine nature of all human beings . . .
What goes around comes around . . . ALWAYS . . .
We can be the teacher, and the student, at the same time . . .
Timing is everything, and we can't force something to happen before its time . . .
Listen to the Voice . . . When it tells us something isn't right, it usually isn't . . . When it tells us someone is bullshitting us, they usually are . . . The VOICE!
We are not always as important to another person as they are to us . . . It's just a fact . . .
Wearing something red is a good pick-me-up . . .
We often don't realize what the lesson is until much later . . .
When we screw up, recognize it, take responsibility, and if necessary, take the steps to make it right . . .
Too much thinking can be dangerous . . .
When I was twenty-one, I had a knee injury that necessitated a full leg cast for a few weeks . . . When the cast came off, I told my girlfriend, I don't need these crutches anymore! She said, That's a VERY bad idea . . . For the next three days I was in the worst pain of my life . . . Lesson? Listening to the advice of a wise girlfriend is ALWAYS a good idea!
Foreplay baby . . .
Never close the door to a person who has wronged us . . . They can change, we can forgive, and they may yet have a huge role to play in our lives . . .
A good lasagna recipe is crucial . . .
Don't be late for anything . . .
The opposite sex has a lot to teach us . . .
Alone time is to be treasured . . .
Time with friends and family is to be treasured . . .
We never know where inspiration will come from, or when . . .
Don't be a punching bag . . . Stand up for yourself, and don't put up with unnecessary crap from people . . .
Forgive . . . And that includes ourselves . . .
Happy feet . . .
Being on a spiritual Path does NOT mean putting up with crap from people . . . Being spiritual does not mean meek and mild . . . Meek and mild doesn't get us far . . .
Awareness and thinking are not the same . . .
Wisdom and understanding are not the same . . .
A person who is wise and aware functions at a higher level than one who is thinking and understanding . . .
Treat people with love and respect, and they'll usually respond in kind . . .
Everything is a teacher . . .
Smile and laugh baby!
Watching comedy videos on Youtube can be just the ticket to feeling better . . . Nothing like humor to get the endorphins pumping . . .
Besides our health, the most important thing we have is our attitude . . .
Spirituality and assertiveness are completely compatible . . .
And finally . . . People always remember how we make them feel . . . Make them feel special, and they'll love us . . . Make them feel taken for granted, and they'll eventually leave us . . .
Life is beautiful!!
Peace and love . . .
Until next time . . . Ciao!!

You lucky BASTARD!
I have a dear friend who is always calling me a lucky bastard . . . He'll pick up the phone and say, You lucky bastard! I always tell him, Yeah, that's what I am . . . But, I'm a lovable bastard . . . You can be angry with me, but not for long . . . Because, well, I'm so freakin' lovable! LOL
I was twenty feet in the air on an extension ladder today . . . My feeling? I HATE that . . . Who invented extension ladders? Probably someone I despised in a past life . . .
I once owned an orange t-shirt . . . My daughter hated that shirt! So, I'd put it on and immediately go to wherever she was . . . It was like showing a cross to a vampire! LOL
We always figure out when we're being taken for granted . . .
I was at a terrific social event Saturday evening . . . A friend became, shall we say, a LONG way beyond inebriated . . . So, I took him home to look after him . . . He slept on the couch . . . I slept on the floor . . . Maybe I slept two hours . . . Couldn't find his wife's cell number . . . Next day, we made the exchange . . . Looked like she was upset with ME . . . And I'm thinking, why aren't you thanking me?
Life is beautiful!!
Peace and love . . .

Gratitude baby!
What a week . . . Wild and whacky . . .
It reminds me of why I should be grateful . . .
I spent a good part of today with some of my favorite people . . . Very spiritual people . . .
What am I MOST grateful for a this moment? It's a Friday night, and I get to stay in . . . lol Not usual for me . . .
I'm going to consume some red wine, eat some Italian, and wish the best to every human being . . .
Oh, and one more thing . . . Sitting in traffic today at a red light and hearing this song . . . It just summed up everything I was feeling at the moment . . .

Think ONE!!
I don't care who you are . . . WE could be black, brown, white, yellow, green, or purple . . . When we look at other human beings, we tend to see the differences . . .
Skin color, clothing, hair style, beliefs, music, and on and on . . .
What we don't see, incredibly, are the similarities . . .
Gotta LOVE modern technology . . . What is tells us is, we are all 99.6% genetically identical . . .
That's right . . . Each human being, no matter race or ethnicity, is 99.6% identical to every other human being . . .
And yet . . . YET . . . We see what separates us . . . Not what can bring us together . . .
Here's the key . . . Every being is a Divine being . . . A piece of God, the Creator, the Source . . .
The sooner we begin to see ourselves that way, and others that way, the sooner we'll make progress toward a more peaceful world . . .
We can only do that ONE person at a time . . . And, that ONE person is ME, and YOU . . .
It's all about self-transformation . . . If it doesn't start there, it doesn't start at ALL . . .
Life is beautiful!

What do we take for granted?
I belong to a group that meets one Saturday per month . . . It's a very esoteric group, and we get into some fascinating topics . . . At any rate, L'air (the miracle man I've written about a few times) is a part of it, as is a man named Don . . . We were discussing this and that, and we came around to a discussion about gratitude, and the human tendency to take things for granted . . . The question that arose was, why does it seem to be a part of the human condition to take things for granted, and not instead express conscious gratitude for those things we're taking for granted?
L'air has a completely different view of life since he's undergone his incredible Journey since November 2010 . . . He's far more grateful for everything in his life than he ever was . . . Don lost his wife to a heart attack in the winter, and he spoke of that event making him more grateful for things which he realizes he's taken for granted . . .
So, the obvious question is, why aren't we ALL more grateful? I'm probably no less guilty than anyone . . . Why isn't everyday Thanksgiving, in a sense? Perhaps it can be, if we develop some kind of simple daily ritual taking a few seconds to consciously express our gratitude . . . People who are grateful tend to be happier people in general . . . They tend to be more kind, more giving, more compassionate . . . My last post was about the inspirational Curtis Jackson, a homeless man who is giving his money to a woman and her son who are in need . . . My guess is that Curtis Jackson IS consciously grateful for what he has . . .
Life is beautiful baby!

Inspirational? You bet it is!
I came across this story this morning on Yahoo . . . It's about a homeless Chicago man who is giving away his money to help a woman (who lost her job at a bank) and her son . . . Here's the text of the Yahoo article . . .
Every day, Curtis Jackson panhandles on Chicago's streets, collecting spare change from passing strangers. Now, he's giving the money away.
Every day, Curtis Jackson panhandles on Chicago's streets, collecting spare change from passing strangers. Now, he's giving the money away.
Since December, the homeless hero has given almost $9,000 to an unemployed banker and her son. When the woman was successful, he says she treated him with dignity and respect. Now that she's in trouble financially, Jackson is repaying her for her kindness.
The down-on-her-luck 39-year-old mother lost almost everything when she lost her job, including her house.
Without a home for her son, she would lose custody of him to the state. A social worker paid for her to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights. But then Curtis Jackson showed up.
The homeless good Samaritan started paying her hotel bill. Every single day.
"All I can do is get out there and put a sign in my hand, or put a cup in my hand and ask people to help me out, and everything I get, except maybe bus fare and something to eat, I give it to her," Jackson told FOX Chicago News.
He says that when the banker and her son — both unnamed in the press — no longer need his assistance, he'll move on to helping someone else.
This takes me back to something I truly believe . . . Every human being is a Divine being . . . We are ALL a piece of God . . . Some people understand that, and some don't . . . When we understand this and act accordingly, the positive vibration of that permeates every space we go into . . . This man's behavior in this instance simply reinforces that belief . . . Every human being has a story, and a karmic destiny . . . No one person's Journey through this lifetime is any more or any less sacred than any other . . . We are ALL a piece of God . . . And the Universe has and will bless Curtis Jackson . . .
Life is beautiful baby!
Peace and love . . .
Until next time . . . Ciao!

Armageddon . . . Really?
This is NOT the type of blog I'd ever intended to write, because it is engendered by some bad feelings . . . I mean, I sent all my savings to Harold Camping, and then sold all my worldly goods and sent that money too . . . I wanted Harold Camping, the greatest prophet of modern time, and his family and underlings to live in luxurious comfort until the last day . . . Or, supposed last day of May 21st . . . Yeah, Harold, NOW what do I do? Should I hold my breath until October 21st, your revised date? I'm seriously pissed Harold! I'm writing this on a laptop I stole from a third grader . . . But I'm pretty sure God wanted me to have it . . . After all, you've been taking money for years (80 million between '05 and '09) if we can believe the news media . . . So, what's one little laptop compared to 80 mil?
OK, I jealously guard my karma, so I have to come clean on this . . . Not much of what appears in that first paragraph is true . . . I did not send ol' Harold my money, nor did I sell my possessions . . . I did, however, give some clothing to the Salvation Army . . . I certainly do NOT think ol' Harold is the greatest prophet of our time . . . But certainly, one of the greatest FALSE prophets, definitely . . . And that laptop thing? I haven't stolen anything since that twenty-five cent Oh Henry bar in '68 . . . And I'm certain I worked off that bad karma long ago . . .
The really sad thing is that ol' Harold will still be raking it in . . . The sad thing is that there will still be plenty of people who will follow and believe his every word . . . The sad thing is many people are now penniless because they followed ol' Harold's admonitions . . . The sad thing is that when it comes to religion, many people put their God-given intellect on hold and will believe the crap that comes out of the mouths of certain televangelists, who plead for money to support their VERY comfortable, if not outright luxurious lifestyles . . . The sad thing is that some people will misuse their spiritual power to pad their own egos and bank accounts . . . BTW, I do believe one or two televangelists are OK people, but which one or two? I have no idea!
So, I had an idea last night . . . At exactly one minute after midnight CDT, I bit the head off a chicken, boiled it's blood and drank it . . . Mmmmmm! Delicious!! Then, I drank as much as I could from a bottle of Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Tequila without passing out . . . Followed that up with 20 wine gums . . . Turned on the television and watched the first thing that appeared, which was an infomercial about increasing penis size . . . And finally, once I felt my consciousness had been sufficiently raised, I contacted the Gods of the Universe, who by the way, are REALLY cool dudes . . . Know what they told me? The world IS going to end on a specific date . . . Which date, you ask? Tell you what . . . Send me an e-mail, and I'll respond with instructions as to how to send me all your money, turn all your assets over to me, and make me a very rich man! Oh, and I'll give you the REAL exact date of THE END . . . Because clearly, Harold Campis just can't seem to get this thing right! Hah!!
Life is beautiful baby!
Peace and love . . .
Until next time . . . Ciao!!
PS . . . To all the PETA people . . . That chicken thing? Maybe it didn't go down exactly like that . . . lol But I gotta tell ya . . . Sammy DOES make some fine tequila! :)

L'air V
If you've followed L'air, L'air II, L'air III, and L'air IV you'll know my dear friend L'air has had some SERIOUS health issues . . . To the point where, we were told in November that L'air wouldn't last the weekend due to multiple organ failure . . .
If anyone out there in the blogging Universe doubts the power of prayer, or the existence of a higher power, or the ability of higher beings/entities to intercede on our behalf (thank you St. Rita!), you can put those doubts aside permanently . . . Because my dear friend L'air is thriving . . .
L'air is one of the most spiritually connected human beings I know . . . He believes! And he backs it up . . . And his doctors have said multiple times, you're NOT here because of anything WE'VE done . . . We wrote you off . . . This one is a miracle! Do you want the definition of "miracle"? The definition is L'air . . .
Peace and love . . .
Life is beautiful baby!!

A tribute to an icon . . .
Sometimes, the little boy inside the man comes to the surface . . .
From time to time, my thinking takes me back to my early childhood, and Saturday mornings watching cartoons with my maternal grandmother . . . My hands down favorite was the Bugs Bunny Show, with its cast of famous characters . . . Bugs himself, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Roadrunner, Wyle E Coyote, and Pepe Le Pew . . . But, the biggest and best of them all was the rockin' rooster, Foghorn Leghorn . . .
Yeah, the Foggy One would terrorize the barnyard dog endlessly, charm the panties off Miss Prissy, teach her son to play baseball, and convince the neighborhood chicken hawk that the dog was really a chicken, so it would be Foghorn's partner in canine terrorism . . . All that aside, I believe Foghorn is (he still lives!), underneath all his pomp and bluster, a very spiritually advanced, self-actualized being . . . :) How could he be otherwise? He's also a sexy beast that likes to have fun, especially at a dog's expense . . . He's the real deal, rooster-wise, and knows how to amuse himself!
So Foghorn, this tribute is for you my friend! :) I'll be laughing at you until my last day . . .
Life is beautiful . . .
Peace and love . . .
