  Great title, an opinion~ can you imagine the “cave man/woman” feeling and hearing thunder approaching. Darkness and fear overwhelming, imagining a reason they are being attacked from above. Tradition of fear, it’s one place humanity came from.

    No, I heard that at least half the population still follows some religion, prays their car keeps working, 🙂 they could check the oil?
    Enjoy, you have a great start

I know you are asking the right questions, talking about the correct topics. So far I have liked most posts you have written – admittedly I have only just come across your blog. I hope to return on a regular basis – Keep up the good work.

“There will be some inconsistencies, oversimplifications and illogical arguments in the posts ahead, please understand that they come in the effort to more clearly comprehend what the meaning of this experience of being that I (and I assume others) are having.”

This is actually what I like about having a personal blog. The freedom to churn out half-baked ideas, explore our own views etc. When I started blogging, it was on an academic-ey group blog. I kind of liked it but, even though it was a blog, people still seemed to expect publishing quality work. People would tear you apart! It was brutal. So I gave that up and went my own way for similar reasons as you. I think by writing. Some people can talk things out, I need to write them out. And I love the construction that goes on in the blogging world. People commenting, linking to each other and engaging with each other’s thoughts . . . that’s what it’s all about for me!

This is a great blog. I notice it after the Cronos-Kate story found my attention. Haha, and being a celtics fan, I actually thought the article you wrote about Paul Pierce was hilarious. Post more stories about metal and sports, and il keep reading!

I don’t comment, or click like nearly enough, but I simply love your blog and have from the time I began reading it. It is for this reason that I’ve nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award. Keep asking those ‘tough’ questions :).

Jesus just left Chicago and he’s bound for New Orleans.
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago and he’s bound for New Orleans.
Yeah, yeah.
Workin’ from one end to the other and all points in between.

Took a jump through Mississippi, well, muddy water turned to wine.

Yeah, yeah.
Then out to California through the forests and the pines.
Ah, take me with you, Jesus.

You might not see him in person but he’ll see you just the same.

You don’t have to worry ’cause takin’ care of business is his name.

“Danzig, who is immortal…”

I think that says it all.

You have been warned.

A word of warning though, the top is more for
the smaller girls so a C cup would probably be the largest
you should try with this maternity swimwear. If you want to take great shots from a party, for example,
you need take more time in watching people than in participating.

So you can get very fashionable swimwear made from tricot.
