I wanna see your birth certificate

Really ? Did we ask president Bush for proof he was an American citizen ? And Donald Trump flapping his ballon lips about being proud and honored, for what ? That man loves to hear himself talk!

Hello?

Is anyone out there ?

Is history repeating itself? Nuclear melt down!

The Chernobyl Nuclear Meltdown  1986

  Japan is now saying their nuclear crisis has reached a level of severity close to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. This..... is...  Unacceptable!!! Our family actually hosted a child from Chernobyl for a summer to help bring up her immune system, and it was a harsh reality to learn what they have gone through. I don't know what else to say besides Im praying for everyone effected and how much I should be counting my  blessing for what I have now; a home, clean water and food. I feel really guilty about it too ! I thought after Chernobyl we would never want nuclear power again.  And then there is another large scale disaster that reminds us of how dangerous nuclear power is and ALWAYS will be .  Meanwhile, this whole time, we have been pushing green power ( wind, solar, hydro) in our recent presidential elections. Do you think this is a wake up call ?? If anytime to have the green energy movement spread their wings and crap all over the nuclear and oil side of power, now is the time to do it ! BOMBS AWAY!!!

Heart Disease is ANCIENT news !

Michael Miyamoto pic from NPR Website 

    

    Apparently a Dr. Greg Thomas has found heart disease in ancient Egyptian mummies. What!? This find is interesting because the Egyptians only had fresh foods and a non sedentary lifestyle. They may even had consumed very little animal fats as well, which can cause plaque buildup in the arteries from cholesterol. So what's the big deal?? Of course what we do or eat determines our cholesterol levels most the time- but to know that even despite cutting all the bad things out that cause heart disease, humans can be genetically prone naturally to have heart disease. This goes to strengthen my thought that there is little we can do to prevent some health disease with prophalayics and a healthy life style. So what do you think? Can we assume that no matter what we do some things are just genetic and un stoppable? Can cancer really be cured or is it just like heart disease in the ancient mummies- a natural part of the human makeup?

Has Hell frozen over ?

Government shut down ? Really ? To even consider!!! Why are we even helping over and beyond other countries ? ( I know why of course, cause we are humans and need to help others in need) but when we are in desperate need one day, who will help us ??? Just wondering.

Japan Earthquake/Tsunami: It could happen to YOU !

     I remember where is was when I first saw footage of the 2011 Japan Tsunami. It sounds strange but I was watching a band playing at a local bar. I looked up at the tv when my brother gasped at the footage. My heart sank, my eyes watered and I thought holy $&@&!!! The horror of it all was that with that live film came the knowledge that people were dying as a result. It was like a nature snuff video. The valley reminded me of my own home town near the ocean. I had to step out of the bar- somehow listen to music and dancing didn't seem appropriate.

Where were you when it happened?
Did you fear for your area being hit by the tsunami or nuclear radiation? Or did you keep your cool and saved the iodine pills for the real victims.

Yesterday I passed a large valley on my way home, I imagine a dark veil of water covering it and I got goosebumps.

Prayers to you Japan!

My first request to blog about someone's art !!!

A WWII reenactment photo shot by Nicholas  G. Harris

First off I apologize if I didn't figure out the whole flicker photo sharing on blogger yet... My friend has asked if I would post some of his pictures on my blog. Now I hoped to God that I just didn't agree to put some terrible pictures up, and have to twist my wrist in lies about how great they were. But they were a surprise, coming from what I think he might state as a amateur /intermediate photographer. Don't get me wrong, I have no art background besides doing scene shop for lab hours. I think anyone can take personal insight from artwork. All I know is if I took the same picture as above, it wouldn't look like Nick's. Moral: Everyone can critique a picture but not everyone can take one. I don't want to be a art critic. I want to celebrate artwork! It was nice that Nick let me talk about his pictures. So, no I don't want to be a film critic, or a food critic ( though I do tend to give my opinion's a lot about it), or a music critic. I want to be a life critic.

SIA: You've Changed !

    So with the help of my musically creative sister in law, I have been introduced into a new artist that I am obsessed with ! Not only does Sia have a beautiful, soulful voice but her content is so profound and creative. I really love the meanings of her songs- not to mention how strange she is- she is a breath of fresh quirky air! This song has been my theme song for a couple days... do I dare sing it with the windows roll down ! YESSSS!!!

also a great dance song and music video is Clap your Hands. Reminds me a Jim Henson thou.

Am I Crazy, or is it just Chemical ?

     It's really hard for people today with emotional problems. There is so much you can read or research about emotional illness. But with all these outlets doctors still over medicate to cover symptoms. Watching the people close to me go through the cocktails of meds the doctors prescribe can make me feel dizzy. They take these meds and are the living dead walkin around. I am torn between the too sides: one side is taking care of the core reasons you're afflicted( through therapy, biofeedback etc), and the other side is by med control. Most the time it can be both. The debate is whether or not emotional problems like depression, anxiety and bi polar is purely a chemical imbalance in the brain that only medication can fix or is it caused by environmental conditioning?

Warning!! Will self-destruct in t-minus 10 seconds....

10..9.... So I realize anyone can start a blog right? I also realize it's good to have an english degree to help you write these blogs. Which I DO NOT have. Now that i've gotten that out and accepted that my english major friends will just have to complain to their other english friends over my use of effect or affect incorrectly or run on sentences (like this one), or even the occasional mis-use of a comma or dash. Least I say they might be "hoist with his own petard"  if anyone truly reads a blog for it's grammar, syntax, punctuation and semantic context.

8......7....6.... Besides I think the content is important most the time. I will try very hard not to mess up too much, (if you can forgive me) and I think this will be a beautiful start to a very strange journey. You dig it ??  

5.......4......3..... All my life I have been getting into trouble by my big mouth for blabbering on in class, talking up a storm at work and slipping out stupid comments to strangers. I believe half my school life my report cards said " Amber is talking too much in class" or "Amber is distracting other students" but always a end of " Amber is doing well in science and reading". Apparently to my teachers I was the most annoying kid alive or the class clown. Lone behold I was a thespian in disguise... Yes, I just said thespian! I just wanted to entertain. I also enjoyed writing poems in high school but now that I read them today its like any other high schooler trying to write deep descriptive words- BAH--like every sentence must have 50 different metaphors for pain and crying. "The moon weeps stars" and" the time of life ticks slowly on the wall of death",  anymore descriptive and the paper would set fire. Also not to mention the need to rhyme everything. What's that about? Dr. Suess- why I addaaa... "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." www.Seussville.com.  Srsly I'm not talking bad about the Dr. S- but you get what I mean. 

.........2.......  But really what I want to do with this blog is to talk about life (of course) but the part that you think to yourself that really makes you think hard- so hard you forget how to explain to someone what exactly you meant by pondering so hard?! Ponder this, Do we really want to be so connected to the media world that no one talks to each other except by face to face, where you text your mom more then you see her, or become to addictive to computer games you forget to feed your own baby? Like these parents. http://abcnews.go.com/International/TheLaw/baby-death-alleged-result-parents-online-games-addiction/story?id=10007040 Right..... so I know that Im kind of a hypocrite if I state the above issue by having a blog but lets face it I still get out plenty in the real world to give me some leeway . In this era we have information at our finger tips in a blink of a eye or click of a mouse ( actually even the mouse is becoming extinct) that I feel it give us both a crutch and a weapon as the same time. More info means more knowledge, but do you think we can have too much information? Example: I know if I feel a tickle in my throat and my head hurts I might look up the symptoms on the net.... 2 hours later and I am sure I have a rare form of Neisseria Meningitidis. 

..............1........ So do you agree with my teachers now? How many people got report cards with bad teacher comments? Let me hear your voices below! I'm a quick learner and I only want to entertain the audience.. that is YOU ! Feedback is greatly accepted but not always implemented.    ;)
