Horatio You Can Drive My Car – October 12, 2008

An M & M’s Commercial Have you seen the new M&M’s commercial, where they imitate the Adams Family? The Adams Family was a B grade sitcom, from the early seventies, competing with a similar venture called The Munsters. There are only three characters that stand out, from the Adams Family. One was Gomez, the family [...]

Pictures of Magic Men – Part 3 – July 2, 2008

I talked to Mike about this, after we covered a distance from the village, but he didn’t see anything unusual. I’m convinced the man put a spell on Mike, or hypnotized him, so he wouldn’t feel anything unusual. And doubts kept creeping in my mind that everything may have been a figment of my imagination. [...]

If Barack Obama was Islamic – June 25, 2008

If Barack Obama was Islamic Yesterday, I took advantage of a newscast, a while back, which mentioned that some folks believed Obama was Islamic. Then I posed a hypothetical scenario, where I asked folks to assume Obama was Islamic. I posed the question on www.linkedin.com, on how the Obama PR staff would position the candidate [...]

Who is Richer – Batman or Iron Man? – June 23, 2008

Who is Richer – Batman or Iron Man?   There are two movie blockbusters this summer, and they both involve billionaire superheroes, which have no powers. One is Tony Stark, alias Iron Man, and the other is Bruce Wayne, alias Batman. To be fair, both these superheroes live in rival comic publishing universes. Batman is [...]

Where Dreams Come True – June 14, 2008

                          Would you attend a church whose motto is: “where dreams come true?”  Would you attend a church whose name is “World Overcomers Church”?  Well, I had a chance to visit such a church, a couple days ago.  I was taking my mom over to Elgin, Illinois, to take a driving test.  The [...]

Pictures of Magic Men – Part 2 – June 6, 2008

Michael and I know this man’s name, and I wouldn’t encourage anyone to meet him, if he is still alive. But I have been filled with too many stories of magic, and something in this man’s demeanor, was spooking the s### out of me. When I asked him about herbs or medicines, he showed us [...]

Have you ever been experienced? – Well I have! – May 29, 2008

The title is from a song by Jimmy Hendrix – and no – I’m not talking about the drug culture. And yes – I will get back to part 2 of “Pictures of Magic Men” next week. But I first must relate something I experienced last night. Let me give a bit of background first. [...]

Had Enough of Nothingness? – May 23, 2008

Had Enough of Nothingness is a phase I thought of. I’m just recording this in my blog, for purposes of having a record. Now nothing has many connotations. In philosophy, it reflects the classical existential work by Jean-Paul Sartre, entitled Being and Nothingness. It also covers the theory of nothingness, which is the connection between [...]

Pictures of Magic Men – Part 1 – May 17, 2008

In the early seventies, I found myself tracking through the Liberian jungle, accompanied by a fellow Peace Corp volunteer Michael, within a city called Harper (right on the ocean) as our starting point. This was probably the worst idea I even conceived of. Some students at the Catholic mission high school, where I was teaching, [...]

The Biblically Prepared Outdoorsman – May 12, 2008

This lesson is the biblically prepared outdoorsman. Now I am not being irreligious here, nor am I endorsing a redneck version of the Bible. From the standpoint of literature alone, the Bible ranks as the all time best seller. The story I am referring to is found in John, chapter 21. First, let’s see how [...]
