Randomness

 *  I can't help looking at Hillary Clinton as a spoiled sport for not squelching an attempt to put her name in nomination at the convention.  I am assuming this means she isn't the VP pick (and I'm glad of late - she disappointed me these past couple of months).  

* I listened with great interest and even a bit of awe to Billy Graham give a Ted Talk (old talk from 1998 - retrieved from the archives).  I'm not religious in the way most people are, but I do agree that we, the human race, lack the glue that binds us - and don't seem to have a clue, as a world society, how to find it.  I enjoyed this talk very much - I enjoy listening to him - even when I don't agree with  his specific religious beliefs.

*  Poof! Next `Harry Potter' flick moves to NEXT summer  
    Ouch - there's going to be a few upset peeps out there I think.

*  I spent yesterday with my friend Alexis and her friend - we went to see the new Mummy movie and eat Mongolian BBQ.  I stopped off at SunHarvest Farms and found Organic soybeans on sale for 89 cents a pound - very good deal these days.  I stocked up.  We also stopped by the co-op and we both couldn't resist an old fashioned manual crank "coffee" mill (made in China) for $25.99.  It said on the box it would grind grains and beans which sold me since I've been trying to find something to crack grains for me for making Tempeh and hot cereals.  I tested it and - yes, it works (though it only does a small quantity at a time - it's a good task while watching TV or a DVD).  I will post a picture this weekend.

*  Is there ANYBODY who didn't see this coming?...... US, Poland agree to missile defense deal

* Every day this week I got my heiny up at 7am and walked 30 minutes before I was awake enough to talk myself out of it.  A few of those days I also did the warmup portion of the Inhale yoga show.  W00t - I'm on a roll :-)

* Finally - Sweden shows that, not only are they are poor losers, but they can throw one heck of a temper tantrum..... LoL

Swedish fans booed loudly as the judges filed out of the arena. Abrahamian said nothing to waiting reporters but whacked an aluminium barricade with his fist as he left the hall.......Swedish coach Leo Myllari said: “It’s all politics.”

I supported Hillary when i thought that she was the candidate that would when; now she has to let this go.

I support my daughter's choice to join a church for the same reason; but is it you or Graham, that is saying that we need religion, because we need religion? That coming from him would be a wee bit cynical.

Ah, like I said - I don't agree with all he says. I do agree that we are lost as a society. I don't believe that religion as most know it is what is needed. His determination intrigues me - I think he was as effective as he was because of this ability to convince people to view the world as he does. I've listened to many of his talks, and I find it facinating even when I myself do not buy into his vision.

I'm from the "know thyself" school of spiritual thought. If humans could see inside their soul and truly know who and what they are - that would solve all "problems". Then again - were this to happen, there would be no more need of the earth training ground, and we would all immediately drop into the pool of oneness. That would be way cool! :-)

I want that coffee mill! :) :) :)

You've gone for a WALK every morning? Good on you! AND done yoga! One day I will get off my lazy butt, too. Then you can say you were my inspiration.

I was in one of the uni cafes yesterday, and they always have this TV on - yuck! Yesterday there was swimming on (the Olympics, of course), and Australia won. The screaming (on the TV) nearly deafened me!

Soon you'll wake up and automatically put your walking shoes on.
I love yoga breathing exercises they relaxing and invigorating at the same time.

That is the way I get up to exercise; get my body out of bed before it truly figures out what is happening. :)
