Words of Wisdom ??
Current mood:  tested
Category: Life
Albert Einstein
~Imagination is more important than knowledge.
~Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
~The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
~The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
~Everything that can be counted doesn't necessarily count; everything that counts can't necessarily be counted.
~Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
~The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
~Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
~In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
~We must find a way, or we will make one.
~It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
~The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
~Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
~God is clever, but not dishonest.
~My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
~Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
~The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.~You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
~Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
~There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
~All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.
~Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.~Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.
~If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut. Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

I've always been a STORM*
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears,
for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Bark at the Moon !!
Current mood:  contemplative
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
I've been thinking lately about how the moon and magnetic fields of the Earth could effect the brain.
Could it be possible, since the moon was so close to us so long ago, that humans could've actually possessed awesome mind power?
Is it reasonable to say that Atlantis used this to become a technological marvel?
Since magnetism and electricity are closely related could the effect produce a faster neural speed?
Any thoughts (either sane or insane are appreciated)
The Moon is known to have a huge effect on the ocean's tides. The mechanism, in simple terms, goes like this: While the moon's gravitational force causes the water to rise up, the earth is also pulling downwards, causing tides. Water levels are dependent upon the force of the moon. So with a full moon comes the high tide. And from this observation, the concept of the moon affecting human behavior evolved. This is because the human body is 80 percent water. It is believed that just like the ocean, when the moon is full, there will also be an upset of water balance in the human body, causing a person to behave irrationally. The fullness of the moon has always been blamed for catastrophes in both nature and human beings. It got worse over the years that even insanity, which is believed to be fluctuating with the phases of the moon, is given another name "lunacy"(comes from the Latin word 'luna' which means moon). In some cases, the moon was used as an excuse of a committed crime. England lawyers in the 19 th-century used the "guilty by reason of the full moon" defense for their cases - pointing out that their clients could not be held responsible for acting under the control of the moon. Psychologist Arnold Lieber, from the University of Miami, dug deeper into this theory. The year was 1974 when he began conducting studies centered on the crime rates of Miami-Dade County in Florida. From the data gathered, he concluded that full moon has direct effect over the increase in homicide rates. He is so sure with his findings that he contacted the media, Miami police, and a hospital administrator to warn them about the danger that comes with a full moon. In 1978 he wrote a best-selling book called, "Lunar Effects: Biological Tides and Human Emotions", which made his studies more known to the general public. Lieber didn't stop there; he published another book in 1996 and continued to expand his theory about the moon's influence on human behavior.

A.A.A.D.D.
Current mood:  amused
Category: Life
Can you relate?
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better,even though I have it !
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.
Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.
But then I think,since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.
I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying toremember what
I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find t he remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy the whole darn day,
and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....
Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who the heck I've sent it to.
Don't laugh --
if this isn't you yet,
your day is coming!!

Current mood:  hopeful
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
April Arianne Newnam
April 12 , 1987 was one of the most wonderful and happiest days of my life .
This was the day my second child was born ! Oh , this was a glorious day !
It was a sweet beautiful baby girl . This made me very happy because we already had a wonderful 3 year old son who would laugh and play with me daily . A son and a daughter , this made our family complete and perfect . My wife and I made many mistakes as a couple as many young couples do . We made many mistakes with our children as many new parents do . But , we were learning and growing and my commitment was absolute . I worked very hard for my family because they were my life , my world , my everything . I work to live , rather than live to work so when my day was done I would love to come home and I completely enjoyed just being with my family . We would picnic and swim and laugh and play and my children adored me as I did them . My whole life was a fairy tale and I had found my happily ever after (so I thought at the time) . You see , my parents divorced when I was six months old and I did not meet my father until I was 16 . I was determined that this would never happen to me . I would marry only one time and never divorce and I would be the best father in the world . We have such dreams when we are young .
November 9 , 1987
This was another extremely life changing day in my life . This is the day I died a little . No , this is the day I died a lot inside . This is the day my two children were kidnapped ! This is the day my world came crashing down and shattered around me and there was no way to pick up the pieces . On this day , after making love to my beautiful wife , I went to work as usual . I called home once or twice and got no answer and this was not usual . I gave it little thought at the time as I was very busy at work . Upon arriving home , I found a note saying that they had gone out and would be home soon . This too was unusual . As I waited and began to cook our nightly meal , I began to notice that certain things were not in place . After some investagation I found that more than just the normal things you would take for an outing with the children were missing . Many of my childrens clothes were gone and all of their favorite things were missing . My beautiful caring wife had abducted our children . I called the police , the F.B.I. and every other agency this government has and was told that they haven't been kidnapped . They are simply with their mother . But where was she ? I hired investigaters and private detectives who found some clues such as the flight number and their destination . They even found where she had left that destination to another and another . I discovered that this had not been a whimsicle action . It had actually been a well thought out plan and had taken more then a year to put into action . She either took or destroyed important documents that might help me to find her or my children . Her entire family , mother , father , brother and sister had picked up and moved from where I last knew them to be . My children had now disappeared without a trace . I quit my job and hit the road in search of them for the next three years . I travelled from one clue to the next from the beginning to the absolute lack of a clue . They were lost and now I was lost . I do not know to this day why their mother felt that she had to take such a drastic course of action . I have never hit a woman and I do not hit my children as a matter of fact I feel that any abuse of man , woman , child or animal is deplorable. I am the first to admit that I made mistakes . Many of them , I'm sure . We were young and stupid and times were hard as they've always been and I'm sure always will be . My children have now been missing for 18 years now and I search for them still .
Why am I telling you these facts , you ask ? It is simple . Because I need your help . I need a search party . I need for someone to tell them that I am here and that I search for them and that I love them very much .
If you know of the following people , please contact me !
Joshua Paul Newnam ( My son , age 24 )
April Arianne Newnam ( My daughter , age 21 )
Trina April Plummer ( Their mother )
Arther Plummer ( Their uncle )
Connie Plummer ( Their aunt )
Emily Drews ( Their grandmother )
Josheph Drews ( Their grandfather )
My Beautiful Daughter ,
Hi baby , I doubt if you remember me . You were only three the last time I saw you . I would like to wish you a Happy Birthday baby and tell you that I miss you and I love you . When you were born , you were the most beautiful sight I have ever seen . Start to finish , labor and delivery , Joshua was born in only three hours . You my dear came much quicker . I drove 100 miles an hour . Ran every red light . And still I thought I was going to have to pull over and deliver you in the van . We barely made it , and when they got your mother on the bed , you popped out . The doctor wasn't even there yet . Your mother , myself and one nurse . You popped out so quickly that the nurse caught you in mid-air as you were heading to the floor . They put you on my chest and our hearts beat together . We bonded instantly ! At that moment I knew you were my princess ! You have been a little princess since that moment and you know that you are . I know that you are very much like your mother , but my blood runs through you and you are me . This is why she has never really understood you . The last time I saw you , I had just put you to sleep . You were laying in your grandmas bed . Your beautiful red curly hair was going in every direction . You were and are my pretty princess . Your grandma is gone now , but if there is anyone you were more like than me , it would be her . Your grandma is where your red hair came from . You may not have known that . Your aunt and uncle have blue eyes , But mine are exactly like your grandmas . You my dear have the exact same far away eyes as your daddy . Sweetheart you also have my demeanor . I'm sure this has caused you many problems in life . Joshua , I'm sure is pretty laid back until he is pissed off . You my darling are a STORM ! This is O.K., because you are a loving , caring , beautiful human being . Your beauty runs much deeper than your looks . You have an inner beauty that is stunning and the whole world can see that ! Your daddy couldn't be there to protect you from the evil in this world but I would have given anything to have been . We are a strong breed and I'm sure you have overcome what ever may have come your way . Still , it was my job and I failed . I'm so sorry! I love you my sweet sweet baby .
Your Loving Daddy
My Children ,
I have missed you over the past 18 years. I'm sorry that I haven't found you in that amount of time . I still search and so does Allysha . She very much wants to find her brother and sister . She also wants to make her daddy happy and she knows how much I have grieved and worried about you . It's hard to know what to say to you . You have grown up and I missed it ! Those may be the saddest words in the whole world for a father to have to say . I don't know what you think or what you were told about your father . I don't know if you search for me as I search for you . I guess you may not even know if I'm still alive . I search very hard for you almost everyday . So , the odds of me finding at least one of you must be getting better . Right ??????
Your loving father ,
April 12 , 2008
I am still alive ! (Thank you Allysha)
I've always been a STORM*!

Corrupt A Wish Part 2 !
Current mood:  devious
Category: Games
My Dear Friends ,
the name of the game is :
CORRUPT A WISH !
Corrupt A Wish .
The rules go like this ,
The first person (ME) makes a wish
such as "I want to take over
Willy Wonkas chocolate factory
and live there the rest of my life
and eat all the candy I want" .
Then a reader (YOU) would make a comment
on my blog stating
"Wish Granted"
Then they would proceed to corrupt
this wish by saying that :
You now live at and own the chocolate factory
but you work the ompa lumpas
too hard and they have an
uprising and stage a take over .
You have become so fat eating all the chocolate
that you can’t fight back .
You have become choice meat so they
cook you over a bon fire
and have an enormous barbeque .
After corrupting your wish
they would then make their own wish
and it begins again
with the next person that comments saying
"Wish Granted" ,
corrupting this persons wish and making their own !
It can be a really fun game
and you can corrupt their wish
any way you like !
If this goes well , I will make this a weekly game !
Another example before we begin :
The cat had just used the litter box and I wished
that the cats SH*T didn’t stink !
My daughter replied with
WISH GRANTED
As a matter of fact the cats SH*T smells
better than the most beautiful flower
BUT now the rest of the world
stinks from over polluting
and now the only way to smell something nice
is to stick your nose up to that cat SH*T !
MY WISH :
I WISH THAT I LIVED AT DISNEYLAND
AND ALL I DID WAS RIDE THE RIDES
AND NEVER HAD TO WORK AGAIN !
LET THE CORRUPTION BEGIN .

For My Friend
Written for my friend, "Storm"
- the eve of September 25 , 2007 .
With that in mind, written from life’s
experiences that everyone can relate to -
funny how people, emotions and
life can be compared to a sudden storm….
Not to ever worry – because storms pass, they never last.
Here goes:…
Some people enter into one’s life as a storm does,
for an instant,
like a flash of lightening….
then they are gone…
but when they leave one never forgets the impact…
or the changes that BOLT of lightening made in your life…….
A STORM…OF THE HEART - bmc
The air started to thicken, darkness became full,
thunder rumbled overhead…
the ground shuddered.....
time stood still….
The howling wind rustled crunching leaves...…
debris blew everywhere….
the smell of moldy rain suddenly
scented the moistened air...…
I gazed up into the dark abyss with eyes focused afar…
My eyes saw the shadowed Moon, which became a Wizard…
tossing kisses to the stars…
His robe blew open…his mouth gasped a sigh…….
His arm outstretched with wand in hand…
In an instant appeared platinum flashes of light
surrendering to the sky…..
The sky appeared to fall to earth……
the rain began to pour….
waters of the earth tossing and churning…
with creatures submitting to the ocean’s floor…..……..
the sound of a train came with force from the sky…
the rain hit the ground hard as it fell…
He cast his spell…into the night….
leaving lakes of water rushing by……..
as He pulled his wand back the ground trembled beneath….
my life felt whole - suddenly complete…….
the intensity jolted my body, my soul gave birth ….
my heart smiled and then it skipped a beat…..
into the night, came the sound of his voice….
like waves in my ears…
an explosive noise.
Suddenly, it was over or was it just a dream…..
my heart cracked in two….
tears fell from my eyes….
I should have known it was coming……….
but believed in the lies.
I trusted and believed lightening couldn’t hurt me…
until it shot through my heart
and made my heart’s EYES see…
A flash in the darkness, the disappearance of his soul…
left in an instant, no goodbye…. …
just memories to hold.….
There was no way to know if this was love or not…
what was the electrifying flash that entered my heart?….
when the next storm passes through,
trickling raindrops from the sky…
there will always follow a ray of sunshine…
this time I won’t be so surprised.
What would it be like if ........ ???

MADNESS !
Current mood:  distraught
Category: Life
Stop The Madness !
My Friends
I have been a soldier and I will always be a soldier ,
so I must support our troops in the field .
It is our leaders that are in question ?
I have been to the War Zone !
I have seen my friends die next to me
and in my arms .
If it was not for the brave sacrifice
of the men and women of our past
we would not be enjoying the few freedoms we have left .
You may be saying
" Go Clinton Go " !
Or perhaps you support Obama
or the war hero McCain .
My vote is
'None of the above'
and I want a better choice .
Before you put a new person in power
that literally has their finger on the
BUTTON ,
I would like you to know a few simple FACTS !*!*!*!
30 WARS ARE RAGING IN THE WORLD !
THERE ARE MORE THAN 300,000
CHILD SOLDIERS !
2 MILLION CHILDREN HAVE DIED
IN THE LAST DECADE !
90% OF THE CASUALTIES OF WAR
ARE CIVILIANS !
12 MILLION CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
LEFT HOMELESS DUE TO WAR !
10 MILLION CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
PSYCHOLOGICALLY TRAUMATIZED
BY WAR !
ENTIRE GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN
HAVE NEVER KNOWN PEACE !
What sort of world will we leave
to our children ?
Do you remember
POWER TO THE PEOPLE ?
RISE UP !
JOIN TOGETHER !
DEMAND CONTROLS ON THIS
OUT-OF-CONTROL GOVERNMENT OF OURS !

Storms !
Current mood: distressed
Category: Life
STORMS*!
Not supposed to be scared of anything .
But I don't know where I am .
Wish that I could move .
But I'm exhausted and nobody understands .
Tryin' hard to breathe now .
But there's no air in my lungs .
There's no one here to talk to .
And the pain inside is making me numb !
I lurk here in the shadows .
I just keep gettin' older .
This is where I live now .
Within the rumbling eye of the STORM* !
100 lives are making me colder .
I cannot define it and yet
within my heart are it's words .
It can be completely beyond my grasp
or right in front of me .
It lives somewhere
between
calm and passion ,
between
clarity and obscurity ,
and
between
music and silence !
