Gettin old?

They say that Men always look sex first. I wonder if that theory has a shelf life? I find myself at 40 to the point where I won't even be attracted in a sexual way unless one first becomes the type of good friend that I'm eager to kick it with the most out of all my friends. How they look is a distant second.

Cartel Goons on a Speedboat

I saw a news story about some cartel goons shooting at people on speedboats,


This is kind of goofy, get sex appeal by any means necessary types of s**t. It's a game of who can outdo each other, who can do something more and more scandalous (or macabre) to the next person, and find a way to associate with something positive, something cool. This is what happens when children are raised by fools with no concept of the rules of getting along with each other, they ain't punished, they ain't reprimanded, they ain't told what they did wrong, instead they get PRAISED! The poor fools on the boats don't even realize they'll be in debt, and they'll also be a slave to the void that needs to be fulfilled when taking a life. How can one help the helpless fool who insists on being helpless and revels in it? It's unacceptable, despicable, disgusting, embarrassing. This childish behavior threatens the goodwill of the village, regardless of where the village is. Same patterns repeating themselves everywhere you go. The more extreme, the easier the pattern is to see. FOH.

Science

When you know you can obtain it easily and frequently from a number of different sources, but you make it a personal quest to find out what happens when you don't, analyzing your own attitude and the attitudes of the people offering, and your reaction to it. At this point it becomes like a serendipitous science experiment, with the unexpected benefits of a serene and ever-growing, profound sense of self + an unwavering faith that you will find what's best for you. The only thing stopping you is inaction or actions against your own self-interest. The former is impossible and the latter is implausible.  Hallelujer.

X-Men into the Marvel Universe.

If I were writing X-Men into Marvel, I would make it so that before the blip, there were only a few hundred mutants worldwide, hidden so well, only the most secret govt agencies know about them. Increased mutant gene activity coincides with traumatic events in World history. Post blip, people start slowly gaining powers. 

I can't wait to see what they do. 

Inasal chicken

Traditional Filipino dish, made from scratch. Very tangy, robust sweet flavor. Served with rice. If you're adventurous, you mix the rice with the sauce until the rice turns orange  

Self portrait or Selfie

Some preparation and post-work was involved, so it straddles the line. 

Religion Vs Science?

I got my issues with Religion, but very few people have the audacity to criticize Science.  Science has given us most the tools to kill each other nd tools to kill ones own self. Science also hasn't figured out a way to bring equity to the World either. We haven't figured out how to not destroy our own selves, and how to not destroy the environment we live it Am I right or am I wrong? 

What if someone saw paranormal apparitions when they spoke names of Prophets from religious books? - "that person would have a mental illness" is the quite insulting response I would expect from some, based upon that statement being oft repeated by those who put down religion. It's interesting how we root for characters in mythology who see and feel paranormal things, and how we get frustrated when in the movie some authority thinks they're crazy.

There are so many far-out, theoretical scientific models that can't be proven tangibly, but one believes in them enough to create a model for it right? This is an example of people putting their time and effort into something that "doesn't exist". Shouldn't they also have a mental illness?

The God particle conundrum. The pursuit to prove something's nonexistence. To me nonexistence means that its not even a thought in your mind, or the mind of anyone else, let alone millions of people. It doesn't exist. There's no time to devote for it, no time to prove or disprove it, because that time doesn't even exist. Nothing can come out of nonexistence.

Maybe science isn't considered a way to live one's life, but it often gets equated as the opposite of religion, when I see it as a method of religion. I'm sure the reason we were given these inquisitive minds is to use them and to expand them, to question everything, but to also feel how it feels to be a part of something that is unquestionable to many other people. Considering ALL the options is also Science. To manifest that unquestionable feeling into tangible feelings of fullness and wholeness, (however brief or sustained they may be), is an amazing, marvelous pursuit. Religion ain't going nowhere. It will adapt with Science, take new forms, but the fundamentals will remain.

I love science! I believe we need some scientific consensus on universal applicable ideas of morality. I also love religion. I've said it before, I'll say it again, religion, in it's many criticisms and misuses, at the very least tries to address those universal ideas. Religion uses the scientific method of providing parables, stories, proverbs and rules as variables in a model of good or bad behavior. Models are very important in science. Maybe Science with capital "S" will make a more universal version, that many people adhere to, but then will that be a Religion?
