Flavor of the atmosphere

Ever have those moments when you spontaneously notice that you are breathing? I'm not talking about yoga or taking a deep breath at the doctor's office, rather, when you are doing something like cooking and all of a sudden you notice the air flowing through your body. Does it go through your nose or mouth? Does the air have a flavor, a scent, an aura? Can you feel it travel through your larynx filled with vital oxygen, down into your lungs to keep you alive? Are you aware of the incredibly complex chemical reactions which take place to exchange the oxygen for carbon dioxide, all within our wondrous bodies, all within microseconds. Look at your stomach, does it move up in down in circular rhythm as your diaphram expands and contracts at a rate of once every few seconds, every minute of every hour of every day for our entire worldly existence? Can you feel how the exhale is slightly less humid than the inhale, doesn't really bite the tongue as much? Is it appreciated, are you grateful for the air you breath, it is, after all, a luxury only the living can afford.

Budda vs. Jesus...TO THE EXTREME


WARNING...this blog is pointless and should not be read by anyone.

Okay, okay so I've been slacking on the old blog. I have been a busy man of late, busy with hackneyed details I will not bore you with. What to talk about...let's see... my infinite ray theory? Nah, too complicated. My increasing dislike for "my space"? No, too uncomplicated. Running the business...I don't think I know a whole lot about this yet, so I'll save it for another day when I do. Awesome, I have run out of ideas... so...um...i like the new wawa coffee cups. They are black. I met a Buddhist today, that was pretty cool. He told me all about Buddhism (which I have read three books on, but I liked to hear someone else describe the details so I played dumb). I had, however, no idea there was a lady Buddha, or the white Buddha. She apparently appears when people are in trouble and brings comfort and peace. I think he said someone has a videotape of her in California from 1996, but I could have misunderstood that part. Anyway, I'm glad I still believe in God. Despite all the stupidity surrounding him, its a nice feeling to think their was a creator with a purpose, its peaceful. I have started to think religion is like Greek Mythology...stories to explain what we don't understand. The Greeks had stories to explain everything from fire to disease to birth, life, and death. When science came along, it explained all those things and the stories were no longer needed. Science, however, has yet to clarify good vs. evil and so we keep religion around to help us understand those two concepts. Sure, people have screwed it up just like they do everything, but that doesn't make the premise wrong. The more I learn about string theory, the more my belief in God is confirmed, but it seems like it would be the opposite. The smaller we go, the more we see that things are NOT disorganized, in fact, they appear to be super organized, almost like it was all made that way. The truth is I don't know and I think that anyone who says they do should not be lisented to, but I hope I'm right.

Easter- the worst of all holidays


Yup, Easter is the worst holiday. First of all, I hate the easter bunny. He is evil, hates baby Jesus, and is an asshole cause he hides things so you have to pointlessly search for them. I heard he eats little children's soles also, but that might just be rumor. Have you ever seen Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey or Donny Darko, both movies portray an evil rabbit and the one from Bill and Ted really freaked me out (I mean I still have bad dreams about it). Why don't we just celebrate the first day of spring or daylight savings time? Secondly, Jesus gets two birthdays, whats up with that. The first is Christmas, the second is when he is resurrected, which is kind of like birth. Third of all, coloring easter eggs makes your hands all messy and is disgusting, so have a happy freakin easter.
