CORN CHIPS AND PORN

Last night we were having sandwiches for dinner. I went into the kitchen to grab myself something to drink. Miranda yells out from the dining area, "Dad, bring me some chips!" I answered back, "What kind of chips?" She yells back, "Corn chips!" Being the funny and slightly insane person that I am replied, "Did you say "PORN" chips?" And before she could answer, Brandon says, "Ooooooh, those are SPICY!!!" Of course he has no idea what porn is, but the fact that he said that while trying to interject a bit of Brandon humor was just funny as hell. Miranda and I about wet ourselves.

AND HERE'S THE KICK OFF!!!

Less than five hours left before we potentially go in and bomb the hell out of Iraq. I wish that guy (Saddam) would just leave and spare a lot of lives, but I don't think that is going to happen. I'm not feeling good about the loss of life that is about to come, on either side. Something has to be done though to get that guy out of there. And when he uses chemical or biological warfare is the rest of the world going to act shocked and amazed that he still has these things? Our news is treating it like the Super Bowl, countdown and all. The world truly is a pathetic place to be at the moment. Hey, winner gets to play North Korea!!!

AIN'T NO LIFE NOWHERE - JIMI HENDRIX

I think it's funny speaking about Alien life, or more advanced life forms than ours with Christians. They, with their blinders on, refuse to believe that anything exists outside our little war hungry world with their war hungry God camping out watching this little rock in a solar system grounded in a not so spectacular galaxy. They say that no life exists beyond our little planet, with the billions and billions (sounds like Carl Sagan) of stars inside billions and billions of galaxies. Seems like a waist of time and "creation" if you ask me. The other thing I find funny is that when you bring up the possibility of intelligent life knowing about our planet they ask, "Well, why don't they reveal themselves then?" I don't know, maybe for the same reason your God doesn't reveal himself? Also, if you were an advanced civilization able to travel from wherever to this planet, you would have to be thousands of years more advanced than we are. Do you think this advanced society would be willing to invite us into their galactic family and share their technology with us when we can't even handle the technologies we already have? And as far as I'm concerned, the "Gods" of this world are nothing more than myth. We are not advancing on a human level that is keeping pace with our level of technology. And thus we have a bunch of greedy nations bent on turning out little planet into an ash tray in the name of greed and God. How lovely! Until we advance as humans, and put away our fears and myths, we will be stuck in this endless cycle. It's almost too late already. Time to wake up!
