Family life going well

I got Isadora a whole bunch of foot products. They finally came. Actually they came really fast. The internet is incredible. She called me up all excited. She finally has excepted being treated like a Princess. She never liked my taste in clothes for women...she never liked going to spas. She is loving the whole focus on the foot thing.

Last night, Darryl and I played t-ball. I started pitching to him. Wow...he is getting close to hitting it. With Darryl it is all about constant encouragement. The minute something crappy happens....he is done. I need to snap him out of it.

This blog seems to be really balancing my life out. Wish I had done this all last year. God I was sooo unbalanced. STRESSsss....STRESSsss...STRESSssss

I had to sit and talk with my crazy Lebanese neighbors.....WHAT IS IT WITH ARABS AND RELIGION!!!!

These are Christian arabs....THE GUY WON"T GET OFF THE SUBJECT!!!

Dude.....I am a third generation atheist!!! I don't care about religion...AT ALL!

Well...I have read the books...but for their moral teachings...inspiration. They all think that when they die...some divine being (Gabriel, Peter, God, Jesus, Allah, Mohammed) will personally come and get them.

I cannot relate at all....don't even want to get into it with them. Must be nice to have such strong convictions of our importance.

I really believe that we are really really really small....on the grand s

cheme of things. How small? The Universe is probably a bubble in some higher beings Coca Cola. Horton hears a who.

I realize that a meteor will hit the earth...a comet...a disease....a great war....the Sun will die...the universe will collapse. The works of William Shakespeare will disappear forever from reality.

Faith

That is all you have. There is no scientific proof for anything religious. Science pushes religion back.

I believe in a soul. But I believe it stays on Earth. And that is only Faith....we all have to believe in something.

If there is no point to our existence. Why not run around naked and travel the world.

Starting of vacation weekend!

So I am working on my pergola!! I have this giant vine that is taking over our back deck. I am going to build a pergola to:

1) Hold up the vine
2) Provide much needed shade for summer in our backyard
3) Something to do
4) Increase our house value

I started propagating this vine. I have about 6 shoots growing out of two pots right now. I love pergola's with giant vines covering the ceiling. They are soooo shady and cool.

I am also digging a giant hole. Well a deep hole. It is not very wide. But it is about 4 feet deep at this point. In Texas, the soil is CLAY about 1 inch down. I have a giant mound of clay next to the hole. Wish I was into pottery. This clay seems like some good shit.

Digging the hole is exercise and preparation for 2012. You have to bend down...get a scoop of clay and thrust it over your shoulder. My ass, back and thighs burn. It also gives you an excuse to exercise outdoors. Not into the running thing. I start to run...then I start to walk...and then I walk walk walk walk....and then I run...when I think I see a car of someone I know...then I walk walk walk.

Isadora is not very thrilled with the hole. But it is exercise so she lets me do it. Hope I don't hit any pipes. Came close.

Tonight, Darryl and I went to return the T-Ball equipment. Darryl wanted to go watch a game. They were having a Memorial weekend madness tournament for the older kids. Pretty cool. We got popcorn and lemonade and sat and watched a game that was 1-10. We were sitting with the parents of the team that had scored 1 point. Poor kids. But their uniforms were pretty cool.

Darryl has fallen asleep on the couch. His nest. I like that couch. He is starting to claim it a little too often now. We are going to need to get a third couch for me. He used to have his rocker. But he seems to have abandoned it. Now he is all about the blue couch which my sister gave to me. Little scumbag!! I am stuck on this stupid 10 year old futon that Isadora refuses to throw in the garbage.

The two of them really get attached to things. They NAME everything!! His scooters name is Skootery. The SUV's name is Salsa. My car is named Zoomer. My old car was named Naughty. He has a pig flashlight named Oinkers.

The Native American Migration to Asia

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/01/02/comet.diamonds/index.html

Well the mainstream media is finally starting to admit that Native Americans migrated to Asia and not the other way around.

I have often wondered why there was a such a difference in features between Indians and Asians. The Himalayas are in between them but people have been cross back and forth the Himalayas forever. From Europe to India, people get progressively darker. However, their features stay the same for the most part. Then you get to China and all features are completely different. You would think that if people had coexisted along the Chinese/Indian border that there would be a progression of the same features.

But is evident to me that the two groups of people did not co exist until quite recently on the evolutionary time frame.

I believe that Native Americans were forced to leave the continent across the Bering Strait and invade Asia.

Buddism has a lot more in common with Native American religions than Hindi.
