I Don’t Use Beds
One interesting fact about is me that I don’t sleep on beds. Since 2003, I haven’t slept on a bed. I started this practice while studying spider monkeys in the yucatan jungle of Mexico. Obviously, we slept in tents in the yucatan and there were no mattress beds in the tents — just the refreshingly [...]
No More Religious Board Games! Anti-Christianity and Human Herbivore!
Finally, the best article on (anti) Christianity that I needed to read to reaffirm my new intentions, emerging beliefs, and values (Basically I’ve realized that all religions are just clever cult-worshipping myths. They’re just elaborate myths, fables. Jesus isn’t any different from the Hare in the tortoise and the hair or Buddha isn’t [...]
News Blip: Marathon, Apple Tech, and Felines
Athletics: Roger Bannister, born almost 80 years ago, in 1929, was the first human ever to run a mile in under four-minutes.

Hinduism: Siva, Kali, and Tantra
After sparking up an older email connection with a college religion professor, I recently found some facts about Hinduism fascinating. Siva, for example, according the the mythology, Siva rides around on this Bull, Nandi, wherever he goes. Siva also carries this trisula (trident) weapon; functions as the Destroyer lord (or the whole shebang Destroyer, Creator, [...]
Manufacturing the Dream-Reality Passage
“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, your life becomes a broken-winged bird that cannot fly” – Langston Hughes
I don’t have an interest in being an Olympic athlete; I don’t have an interest in being a millionaire. Those would be fantastic achievements, and if they happened, I certainly would be excited and appreciative. But [...]
Manufactured Time & Infinite Time
Man made time – man manufactured time — by counting tallies etched in stone and examining the solar and lunar phases, thousands of years ago. The ancient Mayans and Aztecs used advanced astronomy towers to accurately use the sun (which, due to physics) reliably showed the source of time it took for earth to complete [...]
Emotional Authenticity: Sea Semester Story
An acute example of me expressing my opinion of an educational environment occurred on a Sea Semester trip I experienced. The Sea semester excursion was advertised, and my perception of it, was that it was to be an incredibly fun, alive, “cruise-like” experience. This was not the case, showing me, quite bluntly and [...]
