It's 6 am, time to be up and at it; that is if you are one of many or most who have a daily rigid schedule that requires intense planning and sticktoitiveness. Me? I don't; of my own choice but not necessarily to my delight. This choice was made over time and built on many factors that are just naturally inbuilt in life; one such as making a living by having a job that takes up a huge portion of a person's time allotment of life; another owing to the fact that in time, over time, the biological machine that we are begins to react from the stresses imposed upon it ..................same way with a car, for instance. Do you know of any car that lasts for more than a certain period? It is all orchestrated 'up there' by someone just how long their automotive creation is going to last. Well, yes there are lots of cars still around from the beginning of the Car Age but I can tell you they either didn't wear out their potential life by being driven that much and/or being protected with care and luxury, like a regular wash and coat of wax, along with a roof over it for protection. And all those lovely old bodies most likely have had makeovers ............. Allowing for downtime to recuperate the body to a state of mobility only to start the job routine again within the next twenty four hour period leaves hardly any "free time" to attend to the many other things that make up one's life. Free time amounts to a third or less for an on-the-job-working-for-pay-person. This is a shame for we have too, too much on our plate, so to speak, to cram into the very few short hours left over each day. The job is necessary, I'll have to concede. The sleep is necessary also, I will concede. But isn't all the other stuff in life even more necessary? Or is it?...... And here my mind spun out in a different direction......Certainly much of it is necessary but on the other hand, much of the way we spend time is not, not now, nor will ever be necessary. I now point out that too much of my time in life has been used for less necessary pursuits but some very necessary (ie. wood splitting) ones and the sum total of pursuits has eroded the biological entity; thus over a long time period of erosion the entity has come to a point of constantly questioning; "Is this necessary?" The answer often is "No"; thus this biological entity is finally coming to the point it can slack up; but only because of the necessity that it do so.
Now if I can just figure out why this tired entity insisted on resurrecting itself at 2:15 in the morning's dark, thinking itself is feeling "ready to go!" and four hours afterward ready to get conked on its forhead when a computer keyboard levitates a foot or so higher from its normal position. The entity is now thinking maybe its not a good idea to rise up and think about joining a rat race pace.
Think I will take a tad of a rest as the sun is smacking me in the face at the moment and ponder if maybe it was the chlorophyll that spurred the body to come alert and alive in the middle of a night, filled with a stamina to begin the day early.

What Is Obama Up Against?

What Obama Is Up Against
This link gives an article that is very worth reading: then the reader will be able to understand some of "how things really are". I was very surprised at what I learned. The full article by Russ Baker is posted on another blog: go here http://itsabiguniverse-dontyouknow.blogspot.com. Many are turned against Obama and his ways...but because of misunderstanding, I'm sure. After reading, you may understand what he is up against within his own ranks.
I will send this Russ Baker article to a friend who is misinformed by such media commentators as Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, to mention two. There are many outspoken ones blasting over the airwaves. My opinion of these commentators is: they are agitators, for I see reactions from those who listen to them and...it's not good, not good at all.
Total ballistic anger is so harmful and the anger is quite prominent these days; it coming from all directions. The key to success is being informed. We are bombarded with information constantly, positive and negative. To get at the truth takes a lot of effort on our part.
Russ Baker is an investigative journalist and founder of the nonprofit reporting web site whowhatwhy.com. His latest book, "Family of Secrets: the Bush Dynasty, America's Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years," now available in hardcover, will be published in paperback November 10. Gore Vidal calls it "one of the most important books of the past ten years."

Desperate Condition Now
"During the last four months the reserves of István and Ferenc have been going slowly downslope. There are still no sponsors to help them out this time. We ask you again: please, if you can, help them go on by donating some money through PayPal.
Of course, any other help is appreciated as well, but right now they live on a tortilla and powder milk diet, to hang on."
This is the latest update on WorldWalk-Peace Tour's blog. Maybe none of you have clicked on this link listed in my sidebar yet. I for one am very proud that these two brothers are making this effort to help bring peace to our world; this is why I linked their blog to mine.
Accidentally finding their blog several months ago, I began reading of these two brave brothers attempting this huge endeavor. It's very impressive. You might say they have been through "hell and high water" for a very long time now. (see the picture of one's shoes and what had to be done so they could keep walking. Pitiful) They are still struggling daily just to stay alive to complete their mission.
Last spring I sent them some money but it didn't go far but they were grateful. Now today I cannot help but I hope you and your readers can do a little something for them. Please? Just look at their pictures and read some of their blog and you will know of what I speak. You will be blessed, I'm certain. Even one dollar will help.
Regarding my pride for these two souls: pride is one of the seven deadly sins but is what I am about in this case a deadly sin? I actually praise their efforts. These boys are from a war torn area; at the moment 'where' slips my mind.
Gluttony I am guilty of. Yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner, you know? Reading this plea for Istvan and his brother Ferenc this morning makes me feel shame and sick to my stomach..
They have been walking for years now; yes, walking every step of their way; thousands of miles literally. How many of our world leaders would dare to take on a task such as this. I'll tell you how many - not a one! I feel peace will only come from individual efforts from each one of us 'lowly' citizens.
Of course, any other help is appreciated as well, but right now they live on a tortilla and powder milk diet, to hang on."
