It is important to note, in the world of theoretical physics, regarding Black Holes it is not a question of attracting matter, rather it is one of blindly dispelling one’s content… that is to say, they, Black Holes do not suck… they blow!
I had an epiphany the other day as I was pondering where the matter, all be if very compressed matter goes after it is sucked past the event horizon into a Black Hole… and then this very clear picture developed in my head, slowly at first, then like a photo in the developer bath it become crystal clear… Matter is not being attracted or sucked in, rather it is being dispelled just like someone exhaling.
I envisioned a “Super Universe” where our universe was no more then a white dot among infinite other universes, very much like our own night sky filled with infinite galaxies. And ours, our universe, was contained in an ever expanding, (ever since the Big Bang,) membrane. And this membrane, much like that of helium party balloon was reaching the point that it was so expanded that small, micro holes were developing in the skin or membrane… and as such our matter so minute on this scale it is little more then gas was escaping, being propelled out and through these holes… as were all the other little universes dotting the Super Universe’s blackness. I could see the gasses spewing out of them like solar flares off our Sun. Thing is I could also see there is a point at which, like any expanding balloon, especially one at the point small micro holes are forming in its skin, that it is about to erupt… “Big Bang Number II”
Good thing I also believe our souls, not containing any mass will in fact survive and move on to another Super Universal school of enlightenment.

Ah the wicked things of which I dream…
If only they could neatly fit
within my twisted schemes
Then reality could play it’s hand
and fill my soul’s desire
making wishes simply by command

I just came from our local elementary school, and was at first dismayed, then appalled when informed my son could not give out four Gingerbread Men cookies he helped bake and decorate for his four closest friends.
It seems the rule at this school is if you want to give one child something, you have to give one to everyone in the class to be fair… really?
FAIR… Christmas is not about being fair, it is not about making sure everyone gets exactly the same amount or thing… Granted that would make Santa’s life easier. “Hey Elves this year we are only making one toy, and every child gets the same size, the same color and the same amount, one, so it’s fair.
I admit it, let me be the first to herald it through the carefully politically correct ‘Seasons Greetings’ decorated streets, “Christmas is about generosity and giving.”
Isn’t it really about giving something to those close to you, as a way of saying thank you for being my friend, my family, my loved one? And, again yes (trumpets in the background this time) it is about giving to those who are less fortunate. Christmas is the perfect time to help out those in need… though really that should be a year-long endeavor don’t you think?
If we continue on this path, to dictate what everyone should get, so that it is always fair, Christmas will lose that wonderful meaning, so well portrayed in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ and ‘Miracle on 34th Street,’ it will simply have no meaning, religious or otherwise, it will lose its luster and no longer be the special day it has been for so long… it will just be another Federally mandated Welfare Program. Hey maybe then you can go stand in line and pick up your Government approved Holiday Gift to take home and open on Holiday Day.
I got an idea, this year why don’t we treat everyone as an individual, with individual desires, wants and needs…. let’s make the world, its people, rituals, and customs unique and special again.
Okay… I’ll stop now, I have Christmas presents to wrap and Christmas carols to listen to.
So to all of you… have yourselves a Merry little Christmas now!
Don’t even get me started on those trying to homogenize all the Religious Holidays into one generic event…

There appears to me, to be a huge misconception in this country and within the ranks of its citizens. Many believe the right to bear arms was granted the citizens of the United States so they could at the time hunt to provide food for their families and as a means of protections against the hostile actions of others. Today many of those same people believe as we no longer need to hunt to get food, and since it is the police’s job to protect us against hostile intrusions that we simply do not need to have firearms available to every citizen. They will argue, and to a degree, rightfully so, that if we decrease the number of firearms, we will also decrease the current, growing trend of violence by criminals using guns.
I say to you… that is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the Second Amendment!!! The reason they wrote the Amendment, and let it be noted they wrote it in, they did not grant a special privilege to the citizens… they wrote it into our Constitution so the citizens of the United States, would always be armed as the final “Check and Balance” of our government. That is to say, if the government was to ever get so out of hand, so corrupt, so self indulgent as to believe they were in control rather then the citizens… the citizens would be ready to stand up bearing arms and remove any tyranny that might arise.
Hunting, food on the table and protection against intruders are merely frosting on the cake… our Forefathers wanted us armed to the teeth so that the people would always be in charge, not the government!

Where have I heard that before…. hmmm?
What a sure fire way to get reelected… tax the rich to pay for free programs for those that cannot afford them, and I dare say, that would be a pretty big chunk of the nations voters…. not even counting those who are here illegally… can they vote yet? It is after all, only a matter of time… and is yet another huge, no make that a humongous sure fire way to get reelected, but that is fodder for another time.
But I have to ask the sanity in running a team, business or government where you penalize those that are successful to reward those who are not. Seems to me fundamentally flawed… and a simply superior way to raise, or train a nation of individual who desire not to excel or even work.
I mean why should anyone work, it is a democratic society and we can keep electing officials who will steal from the rich and give to the poor… a nation of self imposed Robin Hoods, if you will.
I don’t know is it just me, or does anyone else think that sooner or later it is a system that will simply collapse on itself because there won’t be enough entrepreneurial individuals coming up through the ranks who want to succeed only to have the fruits of their endeavors taken away and given to those who have learned only to stick their hand out…
I don’t know… maybe I am just missing something… am I missing something?

Fellow seeker of infinite,
temptatious heavenly bodies,
there for us to edify our primordial simple souls.
Stand with me between opposing poles
igniting passion,
power and control.
It is in the greatness of disparity,
the bridging of the gap
that makes this
electrifying joy so immense,
so absolutely irresistible, seductive
and intense.
You and I, we share
unquenchable a thirst
for spikes of epicurean ecstasy,
being the junkies that we are
we’ll do anything…
anything just to reach yet one last star.

What I think is important to remember is man, woman, okay humans today, the “2009 models” if you will, come with their original factory settings. That is our minds are still set at pre Neanderthal design specifications. This means our dip switches or preferences are set so that we desire to eat as much as we can whenever we can because we have no idea when or where our next leg-o-dinosaur meal is coming from. This in turn meant that exercise was set so every second you are awake, every muscle in your body is on 100 percent, full blown cardio, run to catch that next meal mode… or simply to fight off something that was trying to make you it’s next meal. There of course is one other factory setting, the procreation setting, which again was set on the original models to procreate with damn near anything that moves, as it was all a statistical numbers game to produce more then would die or be eaten so the species survives s and proliferates… but we will save that discussion for another time.
Now fast forward back to now. There is an endless supply of ready available food almost everywhere. Forget that it is super sized with everything your body does not need, and minimized of what you do, the real problem is with all that food out there, our natural desire is to consume all of it… at once, before anyone or anything else can. Couple this with the little or no exercise, sedimentary lifestyle of working at a desk all day, watching TV for hours and then finally going to bed, and you have a disaster of Tsunami proportions occurring.
There is and never will be a magic pill or diet… it is a quite simply a matter of physics and self-discipline. If your current regiment has you gaining weight, there are but two controls to adjust. Decrease intake, increase the furnace temperature… eat less exercise more. The marvel is you can adjust these through self-discipline to maintain your girth or decrease it simply by adjusting your personal settings, and no manual is needed… it is automatic, think it, do it!

Maybe it is time to give commercial ships the right to bear arms. This has to be the the greatest no-brainer ever…I mean come on, how quick would this piracy nonsense end if every time those loser, wannabe buccaneers tried to catch up, in one of their old, beat-up, semi-sea worthy skiffs, so as to come along side threatening to fire grenades if they can’t board and take over, if first, they were met, before they even got close, with long range high caliber machine guns… or a maybe a couple of medium-sized, artillery pieces port and starboard … end of problem! (How was that for a run on and on and on sentence?)

I was sitting sipping my coffee reading an invitation to a friends baby shower… at the end it said: boy or girl… it is a surprise. I thought that was nice they wanted it to be a surprise and then I thought about the fact they did not get to see the amazing live video of a sonogram that I found so fascinating with my own daughter.
Then, It really was a lot like one of those cartoon light bulbs going off in my head… all the pieces just came together from different parts of my gray matter, ideas learned over the last couple of months and years siimply clicked like a jigsaw puzzle into one giant obvious picture. Is it possible the rise in Autism might correspond with something we are doing… but what? What if Autisim is connected to the increased technology and use of Sonograms.
Even more amazing was how quickly my suspicions were confirmed by checking on Google. To give you an idea, here is what I found in mere minutes…
Autism
People with autism have found abnormalities in several regions of the brain which suggest that autism results from a disruption of early fetal brain development.
What is a Sonogram
A sonogram, also known as an ultrasound, is a computerized picture taken by bouncing sound waves off organs and other interior body parts.
Active Sonar
Active sonar emits pulses of sound that travel through the water, reflect off objects, and return as an echo to an underwater acoustic receiver. It uses an underwater speaker to generate sound waves. The sound waves travel until they strike an object and are reflected in various directions.
Military Sonar May Give Whales the Bends, Study Says
John Roach, for National Geographic News
A team from the UK Marine Mammals Stranding Project found gas bubbles in their blood vessels, and haemorrhages in internal organs, characteristic indications of DCS.
“Tests on these whales proved that they had died from brain cavity, ear, and other tissue explosion.”
A study to determine the statistics of countries that use Sonograms a great deal, sometimes, or not at all against their rate of Autism would pretty quickly prove or disprove my the idea… don’t you think?

This is a very old painting I did in the 70’s of Dave Aldana racing the “Mile Event”. It was an early experiment in fauvism. I added this today after spending the day at Brad Lackey’s Vintage Motocross Race in California… it was like stepping back 30 years… too much fun!
