Strange Lights Over El Paso Video – You Must See This!

On By MaryIn MiscellaneousLeave a comment

Check out this really strange story. Keep in mind that this story appeared on a “real” news show in El Paso, Texas. I have never seen anything else like it. I have always tried to keep an open mind about UFO phenomena, but have found most “evidence” to be flimsy or obviously fraudulent. This video, however, is pretty damned persuasive.  Let me know what you think about this one!

Nudity Required by Law

On By MaryIn Observations & MusingsLeave a comment

Someone told me the other day about the guy who got arrested for streaking in front of President Obama during a speech not that long ago (the guy was apparently doing it to win a large sum of money to help out his sick sister – what a guy!)

This got me to thinking.

I think that the government is mistaken here for arresting someone for public nudity. A nude public is a lot safer than a clothed public.

Think about it…if people were actually REQUIRED to be naked at public events such as political rallies and speeches, our officials could certainly feel a lot safer. If everyone is nude, where are they going to hide all of the weapons and explosives? (I know what you’re thinking, but I mean convenient and easily accessible hiding places.)

Think about all of the money we taxpayers could be saving on security and secret service expenses if, instead of arresting the publicly nude, nudity was required at all government events and buildings.

Contact your government officials and get them to work on passing this legislation as soon as possible.

Why Should I Worry?

On By MaryIn Observations & MusingsLeave a comment

Okay, I just watched a National Geographic documentary today about asteroids. Basically, the story is that there are tons of asteroids flying around out there all the time. A big one could hit without warning and wipe out all life on Earth in an instant; or a much smaller one could hit me in the head at 1 zillion miles per hour while I’m outside smoking a cigarette – so much for SMOKING being bad for you!

Now I have a tendency to worry about a lot of things:

  1. Do I have Cancer?
  2. Will I get Cancer?
  3. Will I get shot in a drive-by?
  4. Will I get killed out driving on the highway?
  5. Heart disease?
  6. Galloping Gangrene?
  7. Etc.
  8. Etc.
  9. Etc.

Sometimes my worrying goes so far as to keep me cooped up in my house for days at a time for fear of the dangers awaiting “out there.” Well, guess what? I could be sitting here at my computer, with all my locks locked, all my vitamins & enzymes, pure-filtered-water, nicotine patch and air purifier and CRASH!!! – an asteroid crushes me to death, house and all. So why should I worry about anything else? Really?

I am going to, at some later date, post an article on like, 1001 ways to die, or something like that. So if anyone has any suggestions or anything to add to that let me know.

Remember, IT’S OUT THERE, AND IT WILL GET YOU ONE DAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO – so you might as well relax and live a little.

Why Nobody Pets the Lion at the Zoo by John Ciardi

On By MaryIn Beloved Childhood PoemsLeave a comment

Why Nobody Pets the Lion at the Zoo

The morning that the world began
The Lion growled a growl at Man.

And I suspect the Lion might
(if he’d been closer) have tried a bite.

I think that’s as it ought to be
And not as it was taught to me.

I think the Lion has a right
To growl a growl and bite a bite.

And if the Lion bothered Adam,
He should have growled right back at ‘im.

The way to treat the Lion right
Is growl for growl and bite for bite.

True, the Lion is better fit
For biting than for being bit.

But if you look him in the eye
You’ll find the Lion’s rather shy.

He really wants someone to pet him.
The trouble is: his teeth won’t let him.

He has a heart of gold beneath
But the Lion just can’t trust his teeth.

-John Ciardi

This, and other great poems, can be found in the book Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle.

Re’sume’

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
