Stuck here above ground we don’t really know the wonderful beauty that awaits us under the wast expanse of water surrounding us.
This picture was taken at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and gives just a glimpse of what the underwater world holds for us.

Every once in a while you just look out into the future and it seems so bright. BUT, there are those dark bars that try to stop you from reaching those lush green pastures.
The key is to break through and enjoy what like has in store for you.
I heard thunder and saw lightening last night! How amazing!!!
People tend to miss the strangest of things when not exposed to it. I mean, who would have thought that thunder and lightning were things to miss?
Sri Lanka had some of the best thunder and lightning out there. New York had some occasional breakouts that might have caused a tiny tot to crawl under the bed, but since moving out west I have not heard a single rumble since last night. YAY! I finally feel at home.
It’s one of those things that just make everything else seem weird when it’s not there. I really don’t quite know how else to explain it.
Valentine’s Day; The single most controversial day of the year. You either love it or hate it with a passion. It’s not like there is anything wrong with the day itself, but the overwhelming sense of “ I have to have a date” or “There is no one to share this day with” really bums out a lot of people.
I personally don’t really celebrate it. How can an over commercialized day be romantic? For those who have someone special to share the day with should not everyday be Valentine’s Day? Why do you need a day that’s engineered and powered by marketing strategy to show how much you love someone? The same goes for mother’s day, and father’s day and all the other days out there.
Today’s society is so fueled by these events it’s scary. The social pressure put on teens and tweens during these occasions are so great that we create problems where there is none. Depression, sulking, etc… all the product of these commercialized events that make children and adults feel outcasts and or left out if they are not a part of everyone else.
Utter rubbish I say. As a matter of principal I don’t celebrate the day. If you have someone special show that person how much you love him or her whenever you fell like it. If you need a day set by someone else to tell you to do something special something is wrong. I feel that many times the main problem in relationships that are not doing well is that people feel that once they have don’t their part on valentines they are good for the rest of the year. Yeah … you keep on believing that!
Just my two cents anyway, what do you think about commercialized holidays?
Anyone following the US presidential run up would have noticed this. Former president of 2 terms Mr. Clinton is taking a more forward role in his wife’s election run, playing the bad cop for wifey by attacking her opponents so that she does not have to. So what’s going to happen if she becomes president? Will he be happy to play the back role? Would he yearn for the glory days? The days when he was the man, so to speak? Who are we really voting for if we vote Clinton?
Barack Obama mentioned that Hillary will say anything to get herself elected president. I am inclined to agree with him. She seems a little wishy washy to me. But then again that’s just my opinion.
I don’t think Bill will be happy playing the role of second place. Could having Hillary as president cause a power struggle between the two? Does Bill see his wife running as president as an opportunity to be the puppet master silently controlling the show?
I wonder…
Where would you expect the craziest of things to happen? Los Angeles of course! In an effort to outdo its self, Los Angeles has now become the home of the world first Weed Vending Machine!
No no no.. it was not a mistype. These units are being called “AVM’s: Anytime-Vending-Machines. “, and will be up and running this coming Monday. You will need a prescription to get your quota of up to 1 ounce a week, but then of course you knew they would not let you have it just scot free.
The AVM will be “fully secured in its own room,”, have “two dispensaries, and full-time security for your protection. “ The best part being that it’s open 24/7.

Just when you think you have got everything under control and you know how the human body works (well more or less) it goes and does something completely unexpected and stumps you. In this case a 15 year old girl switched her blood type.
This Australian girl was seriously ill and suffering from a failed liver when she underwent a liver transplant at a top Sydney children’s hospital. Nine months later they found out that her immune system had switched over to that of the donor. This happened when stem cells from her new liver migrated to her bone marrow, and thus changed her blood type.
Apparently this is the only known case so far and the hepatologist treating her, Michael Stormon is quoted as saying “It is extremely unusual — in fact we don’t know of any other instance in which this happened,”
This just goes to show that we really have no idea what’s going on inside us do we?
