Death?!

2010-08-18T14:51:00.000+02:00

For so many years, I have looked for every explanation as to why I am able to sense my deceased loved ones, the things that they do and how it feels physically and emotionally. I've studied "Quantum-everything", at least what I could understand it. I've learned a few thing's along the way. When I'm overwhelmed by my own sadness, depression and NEED, I look for comfort and answers. The problem

So, it's been a while and...

2010-07-16T00:02:00.000+02:00

I really should of been paying more attention this little baby of mine. My father died recently, they say death comes in three's. I hope so because, if one more fucking person dies (in my family), I am simply going to lose my shit. I mean come on, what the fuck? Yeah, fathers die all the time but not when they have a bit of life left in them. It appears that death has been collecting way more

When Insults had class...These glorious insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words.The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:She said, "If you were my husband I'd give you poison."He said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease.""That depends, Sir,"

There are two kinds of people in this world - those who know and those who don't. I'd love to pontificate endlessly about the "knowing theory" - however, I have concluded that half of you already know what I'm talking about.....the rest, you wouldn't understand-even if it hit you over the head with a sledgehammer. ...sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep."

Justice typically refers to the immutable laws of the Universe, The invisible principles that keep everything flowing forward smoothly through infinite causal chains. These are laws that cannot be violated; only enforced. And YES the sword of Justice, double-edged as always, is ready to mete out punishment for those who have wronged, and to reward those who have done good deeds.The two most

Last night Daphne was reading from a list of books that have been banned from schools throughout the country. Books like: "1984", "Huckleberry Finn", various plays by Shakespeare, "Ulysses", "Of Mice and Men", "Catcher in the Rye" and the list goes on...OMG, We are so fucked!Anyway, somewhere in my perusing, I found this ad written by Adam Horowitz that caused all sorts of groups to rise up...

It's a funny thing when someone or an organization does something wrong... like for instance covering up a HUGE fuck up with a stupid lie and then another stupider lie and so on, without any kind of reconciliation between the lies.I guess when too many people are accountable for the screw up, then you have way too many people scrambling in the cover up.

It's a funny thing alright, when a situation is exposed for the world to see - The guilty are the first to react, even when there was nothing in particular identifying the subject. (In this case, the "subject" is a noun).I've gotten into quite a few pickles over my right to express and expose that which is hidden, ignored, denied...blah...blah...blah.

One of the reasons (as of late), that I keep writing about what I call the "Richie Experience" is that sometimes in order to understand, "why something is" I find that by reflecting on the life events or interactions between myself and others, I get a glimmer of who I am, my limitations, strengths and life purpose.In those brief moments of clarity, it all makes sense. What I mean is that when we

It is comparatively easy to empathize (on a normal level) with others - when we want too.It is an entirely different matter, being an "empath".

Photogenic vs. Personagenic

2007-09-17T13:09:00.000+02:00

This came from my wise 17 year old daughter, Daphne."A person can look really good in a photograph- depending on angles, lighting and other factors. They could be genuinely photogenic....however, they may not be 'personagenic', meaning their personalities add elements that are either attractive or not."Wow, I never thought of it that way...but she's right.

This weekend, we had the pleasure of training with Bill Wallace. There is only one thing I have to say....that man has the fastest roundhouse kick-I have ever seen. From what I understand, his kick was clocked at around 60 mph. I'm telling you this guy still has it going on at 63 years old...geeez, he's in better shape than me (but then again that's not saying much...)We're all headed to

I saw Jet Li in an interview recently, where he described his martial arts training. One thing that struck me was that he spent the first five years of his schooling learning the external arts (punching, kicking etc.)as well as strength training.

I would expand a little bit on the wisdom of the 30 + generation.In spending the last 30 or so years in a state of constant observation (even during the dark and shadowy drug period), I have concluded that on the average, most people do not have a clue. It is quite amusing when I meet or talk to certain individuals- who put on this air of wisdom and knowledge... and most of the time, they're
