Do Good Things

You think it is all over but it keeps coming. The vibrations are +8 on the Richter Scale. That's just the foreshock. Your conception of here and now becomes tenuous and vague. Then it shifts exponentially. You learn to pray really fast here and there is absolutely no doubt in your mind that the gods exist.

and then the calm -


Nantucket Sleigh Ride


I am pure like snow
for in the whiteness
of the light
I remember nothing.
But still I sense,
bathed in bubbled glory.
And when again
I am such,
t'is but a babe
before the awe.



Banish The Distractions

It took Master Phat many days of meditation to banish the distractions. These distractions had energy and were focused and very persistent.

In the darkness one will always tend toward the light. But when in darkness there is no light to be seen. Thus instead of seeing one must listen. One must listen to the light.

Energy – Focus – Persistence

The above is the mantra of success. The first 2 components aren’t that difficult but the last phase of the endeavor is a bitch.


Banish The Distractions

A great example in Nature of a fait accompli of the success mantra is hummers. They are always whizzing around at about 150 mph, they know exactly what they are looking for, and are on the case 24x7.


Getting The Good Stuff

I made some fresh juice for my guys yesterday – 1 part sugar to 4 parts water.

"What's your favorite thing hummer?"

"Juice."

"Why do you like juice so much?"

"Fly fast."

"Why do you like to fly fast?"

"Juiceeeeeeeeee."

Hummers have the success mantra dicked.

Soon all will be sad as the hummers make their annual migration back to Mexico or Central America.

Sons of God and The Daughters of Men

You can do some amazing things with a Nikon D50 and the right lens. Below is a snap of my 23rd XY chromosome at 12 X optical zoom. I took a cotton swab of the interior of my mouth and transferred the sample to a glass slide. It definitely helps if you take the snap outdoors on a sunny day so you get the full benefit of the sun. This helps you increase shutter speed. I did have to tweak the snap a bit in Photoshop to isolate the 23rd chromosome from the other 22.


It's So Tiny

The larger of the two clumps is my X chromosome. The puny little guy on the right is my Y chromosome.

I know what you are thinking? “Poor guy. With a Y chromosome like that getting a second date must be impossible.”

Actually, this could be any male’s DNA. In humans the 23rd X chromosome is 3 times larger then the corresponding 23rd Y chromosome.

If you know the first of the male palindromes you may find this interesting.

Life is Good

Been doing research on Origin of Life theories, the male Y chromosome, and the female meiosis process. For mystery and intrique these topics hands down beat anything else out there.


Twixt The Shadows

“Other than sex and blood cells, every cell in your body is making approximately 2,000 proteins every second. A protein is a combination of three hundred to over a thousand amino acids. An adult body is made of approximately 75,000,000,000,000 cells. Every second of every minute of every day, your body … is organizing on the order of 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 amino acids into carefully constructed chains of proteins.” The Hidden Face of God – Gerald L. Schroeder – 2001 – p. 189.

“Put all the DNA in your body end to end and you get a thread that reaches to the sun and back about 100 times.” The Hidden Face of God – Gerald L. Schroeder – 2001 – p. 194

Y? Y naught/not/knot.

I am the only known collector of triplets. Triplets are a group of three words that are spelled differently but pronounced the same. To date I have 46 trips in my collection.
