punch a higher floor

i was watching a re-run of 60 minutes sunday night and the following commercial came on–

 

man in hat–  i don’t know if there’s life after death, i sure hope so . . . .

woman–  i don’t know what exactly will happen, i don’t know if we’ll have a body or not . . . .

burnt out hippie type dude–  i hope to . . .  still exist someow

woman–  there has to be something beyond . . . .

announcers voice–  life’s great questions don’t have to go unanswered . . . ask yours at mormon.org

 

you know, don’t misunderstand me because i am as self-centered as the next asshole being more concerned about my own ass after i die, but personally i wouldn’t want to be part of a religion that thinks more about the next life rather then this one–  of course maybe this is the key to religions–  does your life suck???  well don’t worry because the afterlife is just like heaven–  yeah right, and how many virgins?

thoughts of assassination??? no security

and of course the right wing says even stupider things while critiquing hillary for her stupid remark about obama–  and when looking at security for political candidates one has to truly wonder if there is in fact a difference in security–  of course the underlings here must be given credit for questioning their superiors even after the fact–  unless of course that was planned too–

clinton comments include reference to rfk assassination–

out of all the things to remark on, wouldn’t you think hillary would have tried extra hard to avoid this one–  it’s not like anyone that was alive in the sixties isn’t already worrying about this, but she had to bring it up???  obama has already reacted to this foolishness–  hopefully the kennedy family (that’s not stressed out enough already) will verbally slap the hell out of her–  what the hell is wrong with her???

as it happens . . .

i normally listen to a cbc radio show as it happens in the late evening on a local public radio station wamc– two nights ago i had listened to a heartbreaking tale of a young photographer isaac hockley who took pictures of a helicopter crash only to find out a short time later that a close friend had been one of the covered bodies that he had been photographing–

when listening to a story such as this one on a radio station there is a separation of physical distance yet the hosts barbara budd and carol off cover the stories with professionalism, warmth and the ability to enable the listener to feel as though they are right there with them–

i had heard the mentioned story two nights ago and had wanted to remember it– however, a middle-aged mind is to often forgetful and i was pleased to hear mention of the same story again last night– definitely a story that warranted further comment–

sgt. matthis chiroux refuses to be deployed to iraq

support our troops . . . whatever their actions or decisions may be–

iraq 4032

kathleen and i were driving in the adirondacks a week ago and i saw this memorial for the troops in iraq–  i thought it was quite a statement without even knowing the creators political feelings towards the war–  this is someone who supports the troops–  the sign says “iraq 4032″–  it appears that each little yellow flag represents a soldier–  the count is off but who can fault this tribute–

old haunts– in my life–

who you gonna call???

i don’t normally get to excited about cell phones but nokia had an interesting idea when looking for new designs for cell phones–  ask the users–  i personally liked the peace cell–
