Attraction

Attraction is not about being with a person who's perfect, but loving an imperfect person perfectly.

33rd Latitude

Sitting above the Golan Heights, Mt. Hermon is the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus, according to the synoptic gospels. At this event, Jesus was transformed into a radiant, altered state. He was witnessed to be conversing with Moses and Elijah. Mt. Hermon is also where the 200 fallen angels descended to earth in the book of Enoch.

Mt. Hermon sits on the 33rd parallel N. On the exact opposite side of the world on the 33rd parallel sits Roswell, New Mexico. These two sites are directly polar opposite to each other.

In numerology, the number 33 represents the ultimate attainment of consciousness. Is the 33rd parallel a gateway to higher knowledge? Are the encounters that took place a step to mankind's attainment of ultimate consciousness?

If Extraterrestrials utilize latitude lines as landing points for earth, is it possible that what was witnessed on Mt. Hermon thousands of years ago actually an Extraterrestrial encounter? Is it possible that what were considered angels from heaven actually aliens from the heavens?

Quotes

It aggravates me when people assume things about me.

You think I feel a certain way, maybe I don't.

You say I don't do something, maybe I do.

You believe I act because of something, maybe you don't pay attention.

You know who I am because you know me?

"I am who I say I am." - Iyanla Vanzant

Ley Lines

Since the Roswell incident in 1947, Aime Michel mapped every UFO incident before his death in 1992. Michel discovered that all the incidents were in very specific lines - degrees of latitude. Scientists have found that these locations have extreme energy fluxes and inexplicable occurrences like batteries on cameras and phones not working or compasses going haywire. What is more, many of these locations have extreme structures built on them such as pyramids, temples, monuments, etc. These structures include Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, Stonehenge and Easter Island. Is it possible that the people that built these structures harnessed the extreme energy coming from the earth at those very spots?

In Europe, if you take these sites and connect them with a line, known as a ley line, every town that you cross has a name that comes from the same root. Every archaeological point has the root word of "STAR".


Is that just a coincidence? I doubt it. It seems to me that these sites were placed here and named for a reason. Could they be wormholes or star-gates to other worlds? Were they named with "STAR" as an homage to the beings that taught humans the technology? Who knows. I do believe they have a lot more meaning than we were ever lead to believe. Maybe we will never know.

Here we go again

Guess whaaaat? It's that time again. For those of you who know what that means, great. And for those that do not, you will see soon enough. Just trust me when I say, "It's gonna be a wild and exciting ride!"

Lies

I'm tired of the lies. It's just business. Be upfront, take control and make the best of what you have. Why does it always have to be so shady? Why do you insist on conjugating veils? I work so hard yet you show me no reprieve. Life goes on no matter what happens to you or me. Make the most of it and never lie to me.

Time For Me to Fly

I've been around for you I've been up and down for you But I just can't get any relief I've swallowed my pride for you I've lived and lied for you But you still make me feel like a thief You got me stealin' your love away 'Cause you never give it Peeling the years away And we can't relive it I make you laugh And you make me cry I believe it's time for me to fly You said we'd work it out You said that you had no doubt That deep down we were really in love Oh, but I'm tired of holding on To a feeling I know is gone I do believe that I've had enough I've had enough of the falseness Of a worn out relation Enough of the jealousy And the intoleration I make you laugh And you make me cry I believe it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly Oh, I've got to set myself free Time for me to fly And that's just how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly

Bigger Meaning

The words mean so much more.

Being apart brings a dynamic to a relationship that is not easy to survive.

Love will demonstrate that it can become something beyond our wildest imagination.

I always miss you. I always think about you. I always cheer your bravery.

When I speak my heart, the bigger meaning shows itself; I see it in your eyes.

I love you, I am yours.

Distance

It is said that distance makes the heart grow fonder, that the shortest distance between two points is a direct line and that to be successful you must go the distance. While all of these words of wisdom may be true, it still does not solve the true issue behind them - how does one survive while traversing said distance?

The ugly truth

Most people that know me, know that I will not say or do something untrue to myself. Why is it then that when I do this, you get mad? Are you upset because I told you something you did not want to hear or are you mad because you are disappointed in me? Either way, get over it. Neither reason has any grounding on our relationship. I am not going to sugar coat things or tell you stuff I think you want to hear.

If we are friends you should know by now that I will not lie to you to validate your actions and I will even explain why - which usually does not happen because you will not listen by that point. If we are family you should know I am going to tell you what I think and then push you to the point that I get a valid response as to why you feel opposite. If we are associated and I believe you are wrong you should know I am going to not do what you ask of me. If this is what happens - GET THE HELL OVER IT.

I am tired of dealing with hurt feelings because I was honest. I am tired of dealing with misunderstood conversations because I was honest. I am tired of being tired of being tired......

Sometimes the truth is ugly. Being mature and facing that fact is part of life - I face it everyday and do not take it out on the messenger. Get over it and learn from it. Life is about overcoming the ugly truth.

Hottie at the gym

Most of you know my addiction to the gym. One of the best things about it is the inspiration that walks through there. Nothing about anyone I see is ever thought of as being imposing or creepy, but when I'm working out, beautiful bodies help me to push myself.

This day was nothing different. Hottie walked in, went to do something else and I pumped out a few extra reps on leg press. As I was walking over to the opposite side of the gym I pass hottie. As I turn my head to see more I notice the back of hottie's shirt: MY ASS. I almost died laughing. Take it for what you will, but those two words say so many different things.

Goodbye, my friend.

A cup of coffee

Generally, I walk by anyone asking for something of me on the street. It's a very private and un-confrontational way to live life. No one talks to me, I don't have to acknowledge their existence. Today was different.

I had a bit of time to kill before meeting a contractor and I was craving coffee. Walking up the street to the Starbucks, I passed a man seated on the stoop of the backdoor to the building in which the venue is located. He politely asked me for a cup of coffee and my rote reply came out, "Not today".

As I stood in line, waiting my turn, I thought about what a habit it is to just say no to those people that attempt to acquire something from me on the street. I also realize that, if I were in his position, I would appreciate someone spending $1.50 for a cup of coffee for me.

Who knows if he really wanted coffee; I never will. Selfishly, I enjoyed the feeling it brought to my day. I do not know if that feeling should even be there. I did not gloat about what I did, except, maybe you, my reader, feels that I am gloating now. I did enjoy the warmth and good feeling it brought to me the rest of the day, knowing I helped someone. Is that bad? I would argue, no. Who really knows? Maybe it is. Maybe the warmth I felt was from the coffee, or maybe I just did a good thing and karma is smiling on me. Either way, I plan to pass it on.

The Unfamiliar Path

When you develop a habit or method to life, bifurcating that path becomes the worst event. Learning how to deal with those times can become a great attribute. I strive every day to be more amenable to such events, and every day more are thrown at me. I will prevail. I will learn. I will grow. I will always struggle - while smiling. I accept the challenge.

A smile

My street has been under construction for at least the past year. Sidewalks, water pipes, curb restructuring and it probably will not end until the city gives it a new hair-do. With all the holes and bumps that are being repaired they have added to the confusion by placing odd walkways that wind through the mess bordered by fencing with the green tarps. I assume this is to keep the secret of how beautiful it will eventually become.

As I was maneuvering my way through the onslaught of make-shift ramps and sandbags (apparently used to weigh down the fences, but the sand is never in them and the fences are often toppled, so I am not sure as to their success) I spy a man in a wheelchair coming toward me. Instinctively, I look for a spot to stand aside so he can pass with ease. I smile to him as he approaches and sees me plastered to the tarp-wrapped fence. He smiles back and says, "You keep moving, son, they have created quite an obstacle course here. If I can't make it past you, I'll probably fall in a hole or get my wheel caught on a fence post. Whatever happens, it's an adventure and I'm having fun."

As I slide past him, he begins to whistle a tune of which I am not familiar. A big smile comes over my face about two feet past and I realize, he just made my day. In a life full of obstructions, a man that has faced many more than me, showed me that the best way to get through them is to enjoy it. I will never know his name, but the smile he gave me will be in my memory forever.

Changes

When you decide to make changes in your life, things do not always go as planned. It seems that at some point I need to learn I have no control over certain things such as my feelings. I am going to feel how I feel and I need to deal with that. When I fight it, is when the problems begin. Maybe this time, letting myself go will be good, but being guarded could prove to be beneficial as well. It will never cease to amaze me how deciding on changing an aspect of yourself can so easily be overruled by a feeling. Therefore, I decide to let my feelings run free. I hope it allows for a stronger bond, if not, at least I am being myself.

Past

It's odd, the past is coming back. Not to haunt, but to recirculate. People pop through and occurrences repeat but time keeps moving forward. It is a very odd phenomena to watch your life take turns and paths that resemble past choices made. It can be sad if they are detrimental and poor choices that keep being repeated. It can be exciting if the occurrences were good. It can be cloaked if you do not realize what is happening.

Take a look at people in your life. Look at how they have been involved and the times they have not. Relationships ebb and flow as does the good and bad. No one will I ever write off, almost to a point some may consider apathy, but I do not believe in creating feelings. If you sit back and watch your life, you will see that you truly have no control over certain things. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the company of those around you. They may be part of you now, but it may be awhile before you cross paths again, but they will return.

Your past may be your past, but it circulates, reorganizes, reinvents and reincarnates itself into your present and your future.

Yes, We Can

It has come the time that America has spoken and it is time that this country turns itself around. Congratulations to President-elect Obama, but I would also like to congratulate someone even closer to me - my mother. Congratulations to her for standing up for what she believes in: equality, her cause and me. Thank you for fighting the fight, mom. You are the best.

This one is hilarious when he starts talking about McCain roaming the stage.
