Top Few Things I Want to Do Before I Die
Milk Does a Body Good
So I was thinking about coffee houses and what keeps them going. Well reverting back again, what keeps coffee going. Well coffee has been around for thousands of years. We all know this, it has been grown for many many years. But.. have we always put the usual in our coffee or tea. Milk cream sugar honey maybe.
Then AGAIN I got to thinking in the normal human round about way about milk. Do human adults normally drink milk in its purest form? Well, no not normally. Unless you are vising a dairy farm milking the cows. Do we need milk to survive? Well we need a form of calcium and it seems that milk or milk based products can provide the easiest solution to that.
In essential, human adults, that means you, do not need to drink or eat milk on a daily basis. We can HARDLY process the milk that comes from the cows in our bodies. Look at the increase in products that offer different types of milk. Soy Milk, homogeneous milk, even the same in cheeses and in ice cream. We do not need to drink milk, or use cow milk in our foods. Our bodies cannot process milk or cow milk at an adult level.
So again what is keeping these coffee houses in business? I would say its not the sugars or the doughnuts. Its not the coffee either. Milk is like part of the gear in a large machine to keep it going and going and going. It is part of the essential of the coffee house.
And Remember at the end of every universe exists a Starbucks!

Animal Suicide
Animal Suicide huh. Kinda interesting I think.
From ComTexNews:
Believe it: Cliff-diving cow hits minivan
WENATCHEE, Wash., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- A Michigan couple are happy to be alive after a cow fell from a 200-foot cliff and landed on top of their minivan outside Manson, Wash.
Charles Everson Jr., 49, of Westland, Mich., told The Wenatchee (Wash.) World Monday he never saw the incoming animal until it landed squarely on the minivan as he and his wife Linda traveled along Highway 150 last weekend.
"It was just 'bam' -- you just saw something come down and hit the hood," he said of Sunday's accident. "I'm like, 'I don't believe this. I don't believe this. I don't believe this.' "
Chelan County Fire District 5 chief Arnold Baker said the cow, which he estimated at nearly 600 pounds, had been reported missing by a local breeder.
Whatever caused the animal to hurtle off the cliff remains a mystery, but Baker told the World the couple was lucky to escape with only a heavily-damaged vehicle.
"It's funny because it was such a close call," Baker said. "Inches different and the couple in this car would have been killed."

Vince And Larry: The Crash Test Dummies
Seems too sad that they were retired in 1999. The new slogan is no longer "You Can Learn a Lot From a Dummy, Buckle Your Safety Belt. It is now: Buckle up. Always. Well does that still seem like a quick catch phrase? I would like to see the difference from the time they switched the slogan and retired Vince and Larry to possibly in 2001 or so. If there was a increase, decrease, or stabilization in persons wearing seat belts.
Anyhow, I saw a bumper sticker for these guys on the refrigerator today and wanted to give them a good woot shout out to them for helping our government succeed in a great campaign to help people protect themselves if a crash occurred.
Pubic Shampoo
But, for a second imagine, that we do have shampoo for our hair, so why not our pubic hair. As gross as it sounds, some people could use this. Like for instance, itching, well would you use a Head and Shoulders product down there? Or say for instance, your going on a date, and you know whats going to be happening that night so you want to be completely prepared, (both men and women), so would you use and take extra care of that hair down there? Honestly, I think that it would be a great product to market. I know some of the other folks might cringe away at it or turn their head. They turn their head up to other things too. Best place to begin your little market, Wal-Mart. Gosh I love Wal-Mart.
So I was just curious enough to see if they have anything available like this, if it existed. I actually found a real video on it. Take a look below
New Shampoo - Watch more amazing videos here
Now with a lot of searching online, it seems there is a pubic lice treatment. It is treated with a medicated prescription shampoo only. Well what do we know about lice, well its a six legged creature, commonly known as "crabs". Hey They got a shampoo for this, so lets get a general shampoo for ourselves!

Holidays - Did you know?
Halloween is the second busiest selling season for retailers.
It is a $7 Billion industry.
Tax on You, Tax on Me
Basically what congress wants to do is to add additional taxes to our already taxed internet. therefore if you have Dial up for 9.99 a month, it will not be about 10.50 give or take whatever increase they wish to choose. Same goes for AOL, Brodband, ADSL as well. The will not be adding the addational taxes for online purchases, but only for internet usage basically.
Rep law,ake says that "This legislation will help keep the cost of Internet access down so that all individuals can continue to use the great informational tool that is the Internet," Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas). How does this keep the cost of internet access down? You are raising our rates basically and but not increasing our internet access, bandwidth? I am not understanding you mr Smith.
Luck for us, this tax has been banned for 7 more years. Idiots. This is the third time that this bill has come to the senate floor .
Does this article fall under Right of Way or Righteous Way? Do you think that these persons had the right to tax individuals on VOIP? or Extra cellphones for the family. If the government wants to raise some money, go do a lemonade stand out in IRAQ or possibly bake some cupcakes and sell them there too. Bring out Troops Home and then we will talk about extra taxes.

Taking Advantage of a Situtation
People are only here for themselves, and as individuals, we sometimes forget about others. We forget that we are not in total isolation from other beings; we forget that we are not separated away from others. Our world, as of any other time, needs to see this fact that we should focus on others rather than ourselves.
Here is a good example. Say a military man is fighting in wartime. He knows he can save about 100 lives, of our enemy. The enemy has waved the white flag and has given up. Now, the military man has vowed to kill our enemy on sight. But the enemy has put down their weapons and are ready to proceed with any constructive measures rather than death. What does the military man do? Does he proceed with killing our enemy to show other enemys that we, stick to our vows of killing another man to prove ourselves? Or does the military man acknowledge the fact that the enemy will convene and understand our reason for wartime, and not kill our enemy?
I hope people will understand our meaning for our existence. It is not to kill and violate one another. We are all brothers and sisters of our oldest ancestors. Let us fold our hands together with another, and let us work together. Not all of us are at war.
Think Outside The Box
Filling the Void
How do we take criticism? Can we critique ourselves? Can we understand the fact that everyone in life is completely useless? Is life itself useless? The best way I can see life, in my own understanding, is pretty much the following: Your own life has no purpose, no usage, no meaning. We are only here to serve others and provide others with purpose, usage, and meaning. We ourselves, as individuals have no individual meaning. Being in a group, provides meaning. It provides that purpose of fulfilling the void, or the null.
How I see things fit, is we are all null. Everything around us is null. We as human beings use something once, and we are finished. We may use it again later on in a period of time or time as a fraction we know of. Only very few people in this world can have a real understanding of how we exclusively exist, and coexist with each other. The people who look and take care after persons such as these, know and understand, how beautiful they see our world. And it is such a beauty.

A dream in a Horror Flick
My dream began as thus.
I was cleaning my house. And I came across this brown statue. I had found the statue under my sink cabinet. The statue was all brown carved out of a wood/metal material. It was more of that type of laqour brown that is used on furniture and waxes. The actual look of a statue was a elderly robed man with his robes flowing over his head down to his feet. His actual eyes were closed and his mouth open. His hands were at his pelvis closed within one another.
Since I had never seen this statue before, I had asked my husband about it and he said that he had not seen it before either. I ran my fingers up and down the statue looking for possibly a treasure, or opening as it may have had one. I found none which did not surprise me.
I had brought the statue to my work, which I work at a school. I had brought it to the art department and see if they could identify it. No one could at all. I then brought it to the History Department which was not that far away. They had taken it for a few days and looked it up in their history books. . They said it was from a long time ago. This particular statue, was one of the devils creations. Or rather his minions. He said that this particular statue with the correct inscriptions read from a special book could bring this minion to life, back to life rather.
I was rather surprised at what I had heard. To be honest, I really couldn't believe my ears. Well in my curiosity as in any horror flick, I wanted to find the correct inscriptions to read. The professor said that its from a special book only found in the museum of history in DC. I had ordered a copy of the book online and received it in a few days.
And had tried to pronounce the actual sayings. It was written in something between Hebrew and Arabic. I can read Hebrew, but not Arabic. I worked on these sayings for a few days, and was able to get it one night.
When I had finalized the last words in the scripture, more or less it gets blurry here. This man appears in smoke of course. He was speaking in English, more or less in a demonic tone of voice. He asked who I was and I said to him whom I was. He asked me why I had released him from his chambers, and I said I found your statue under my sink bathroom, with no idea how it got there.
He smiled and said "Thank you for releasing me from my chambers and pitfall"
And his smile is the one most important thing that I remember about this dream. Have you ever seen a rats mouth with its teeth. Or a cats mouth. Well, imagine that ^^,, like that so. Sharp razor fangs that lept out of his mouth. It looked like he had 300 teeth in his mouth up and down and up and down. Scary as that thought may pass your mind, It passed through mine as well.
This demonic figure then started to question me on persons that I had not known, or even herd of. He asked me the year and I told him its 2007, August. He said that he had been frozen in his chambers, since thousands of years ago, close to the time them Israelites came to Egypt. (now thats a long freaking time. )
A lot of this here gets blurry but I remember the most parts. This man can turn himself into a mouse or a rat if thats what it was. I was so stunned by his mouth and teeth that I captured this rat. Now Imagine having this rat bite you with its teeth. That would most definitely hurt.
I brought this rat again to my work to see if it can be analyzed. they said that they only take rats and mice from certain companies that breed them for studies and so forth. I had literally begged them to take it and hold it. I said to the demon for him to smile at the laboratory worker. He showed his teeth, and the laboratory worker almost fainted. He said he wasn't sure how long he can keep the rat but he will try to run some studies on him.
I came back the next day and found the demon loose on the floor. I also found the laboratory assistant on the floor covered in blood. The rat had blood all over its mouth and face. I did pick it up and he tried very hard to bite me. He succeeded and ran into the next room. I ran after the rat and followed him into the next room trying to catch it as best as I could. The room was circular with some doors on 4 sides. The man came out of his rat phaseshift and became the first image I saw of that statue in the robes. Be began praying or calling out to others. I couldn't understand.
He wanted to thank me for releasing him into the new world, from the underworld. and he smiled again with his razor fang sharp teeth. He said he was a vampire from the underworld and now he has been released to the new world to begin a new life.
He said that he would not harm me or my husband as I had released him from the underworld, but to be wary that I might make future mistakes in which he would bring a visit as a reminder.
I had run out of the room and contacted the first history professor about that original statue and what it really meant. He said that it was a vampire god. More or less an idol of a vampire god.
Told him what had happened and if there was a way to fix it. to put him back in his statue. He said it is possible but I would have to contact several people from the Museum of history.
I tried calling and at that point I woke up.
