This is the most amazing idea:

Tomme Fent posted a link to this video on the quiltart list, I just got around to checking it out, I could have used it a few days ago.... if you are a mom, a wife or a woman it is a MUST see....men will love it too though.... consider this your "no coffee or food in mouth" warning:

I suspect she had McCain to "console" her.

Here is a video for provoking thought: You REALLY need to watch this video!

Gawd, politics just make me want to vomit some days....
It really makes you wonder why we bother to vote at all.

It also makes guys like Alex Jones, (and the things he outlined in the American Dictators Video I mentioned in my last post) look not quite so crazy.

I watched the most fascinating show on the history channel today, on the Mayan Doomsday Prophecies for Dec 21, 2012. More info can be found here.
The actual show I saw can be watched online here if this subject interests you at all. The Mayans were interesting people, they were highly developed in ways no one can explain or justify... especially in regards to math, astronomy and time.

I LOVE ancient knowledge, the symbols, the art, the mythology.... when I was living in New Mexico I became consumed with petroglyph rock art and the meanings behind them. One day I spent the whole day wandering the cliff dwellings near Silver City, as the sun went down the way the desert winds swept the cliffs, they created a moaning sound that sounded like a 1000 voices whispering....it was eerie to listen to it, and yet comforting in somehow. It was almost abstractly spiritual in a way, I found it makes you feel connected to ancient voices and you become acutely aware of the lives that have passed through a place before you.... in a way you can almost see them and you can certainly feel them if you close your eyes and open yourself to the presence of their energy.

Even as a child I felt connected to the energy in the California missions when we visited them. I felt connected to the people who use to live there in weird ways I cannot explain. I think I would have loved living back then.

BTW, the site above that has the Mayan Prophecies Movie up has some other fun videos to watch if you need something to do: http://www.moviesfoundonline.com

For reasons I cannot explain, I enjoyed watching American Dictators, even if you believe Alex Jones is a total lunatic, some of what he puts out there might have at least a small shred of truth in it somewhere.... sorta like Michael Moore's "documentaries".

In case anyone doesn't know about these options online:

You have to watch it all the way through to get the real point of it....and the hidden humor. Me... I love John Prine music so that part was easy, not laughing out loud at 415am was the only hard part.... yes sir, there are hidden gems on youtube and sometimes you stumble upon one of them.... this gem was filmed in 2004, we already had troops in Iraq....keep that in mind after the second chorus....

Proving once again twins are evil people.... ( a set a twins and one glass partition make for lots of fun in a public rest room)

I posted the lyrics yesterday to this Ozzy song on my LiveJournal, but the words mean less without the music:
With the world at large AND my own world in turmoil, this song touched me, and haunted me all night as I slept so I wanted to share it in the big picture....it's on my list of things to convert to an art quilt now... you really DO need to listen to it. I had no idea he had this kind of depth in him.....
