Our Beautiful Planet

It never ceases to amaze me, all the beauty and wonder of our planet. From the mountains of Slovakia, to the beaches of Greece, to the splendour of the Sahara desert and the grandeur of the Arctic. This alone makes one want to believe in a benevolent God. How could such a creation be the result of a random set of circumstances produced over millions of years? Wouldn't the timeframe of this suggest destruction and decay and the increase of entropy (as one of our laws of physics states)? Yet here we are, miracles in and of ourselves.

The World Wide Web has brought us many fantastic and fascinating images; images of us and our planet, of our people and of strangers who are us. These images have also brought the sadness and despair of children dying in Africa, of bloody wars and the burning of our great forests.

My childhood memories of my homeland manifest an image of a wonderful orange sun setting in the deep blue sea of the Agean, of the image of the wavy, sandy sea bed beaming through the clear blue green water, of the ancient church on the distant mountain top. Greece for me is the most beautiful place on earth, yet I see pictures of other places, wonderous and distant, beautiful and sacred, homelands of other human beings. How wonderful is this Earth of ours, with all of its complexity, diversity, beauty and danger? How silly our we human beings to be fighting over land and artificial borders? How insane are we that we pollute our planet and destroy ourselves in the process?

My new home, Canada, is a wonderful place. Here, people from all the nations of the world live in peace and harmony, side by side, as Canadians. We are an example to the world of how people should respect each other and their views. We are amalgamating the best the world has to offer and becoming truely Canadian and truely citizens of the world. And yet, we are not perfect. Our lakes are being poisoned, our air is becoming unbreathable and our Northern ice is slowly melting forever. Our aboriginal people live and die in poverty, their wisdom and culture are slowly being lost to us and to the world. We, as Canadians, must embrace our aboriginal heritage and give our aboriginal people the means to be included in this society called Canada. They need the right to determine their own future. If we do this, and if we listen to them, truly listen to them, then maybe we can save this wonderful planet of ours for our grandchildren.

I come from the birth place of Democracy. It is not perfect but it is far better than the alternatives. Stand up people, participate in this world, so that we do not lose our democracy to the few rich folks in the back rooms of the shadow government. Let it be known that we will no longer accept inequality, the polluting of our planet, the idiotic wars fought over resources and our children dying in abuse and poverty.

Stand up and speak. Stand up and be a part of the solution, before it is too late!

We have enough wealth to allow all of the 6 or so billion people of this planet to live in prosperity and harmony with eachother and nature. We just have to redistribute this wealth. It is time to do away with this idiotic notion of money and of hording of things to get rich.

For what does it profit a man, or woman, to gain the whole world but lose their soul.

Megan Fox

My wife emailed me this picture of Megan Fox the other day (that's just one of the reasons why I love her so much!).

Now, as far as I know, my wife is heterosexual, but in her email she said, and I quote:
"This girl is so hot and much more sexier than Anelina Jolie. I can't believe that I'm saying this and I'm a woman!"

I'm glad my wife and I have the same taste in women :).

A poem to the One I love

She cooks, she cleans,
She uses all her means,
To love the ones she pleases

A little thing can bring, so much happiness
So her praises I sing, that
In order to do great works,
You must first do the little ones.

Those little things you must love first
Otherwise you’ll be cursed,
To know not that those things are just as great as those great ones

For what is the true meaning of life
If it is not to share in the daily strife
Of our own tiny existence,
With the ones we love.

She smiles,
She dreams,
That the ones she loves would understand her.

Why does she love me so?
I really want to know.
To understand
To be a better man.

She is my wife,
What more important thing in life?
Than the love of the daily fight
And the love of the love of life.

My great partner, mother, friend and lover,
She has taught me to cherish the moment.

Global Warming and the Truth

"The TRUTH will set you FREE"

I recently posted the following reply to a blog post at (unfortunately they didn't have spell check): http://www.blog.thesietch.org/2009/06/18/the-battle-for-pork-chop-hill-healthcare/

I have always wanted to make a difference in the world but believed that one man could not do that - and if he got close then the “powers that be” would eliminate that threat. In spite of have been born in the country that created democracy I had a sarcastic view of it. The masses are too easily persuaded by the propaganda that our governments feed them. But I don’t blame them, because I myself have troubles sifting through the endless mountains of misinformation and counter-information. It makes one's mind spin.

Anyway, I work for the Ministry of Environment and I have to tell you that I have been spooked with all of the recent information that I have received. It is obvious that global warming is occurring and it is also unfortunate that we will not be able to stop it. The only thing we can affect, at this point in the game, is the degree and the severity of its consequences. How can I look my sons in the eye and tell them that I tried nothing to help? I cannot and therefore I must act.

We must all participate in this ACT and take back the power from the backroom boys in the dark closets. To this end we must use this new technology to become citizen journalists, seek the truth and broadcast it to the masses. Stay vigilant my friend and question everything that comes from our authorities. We must not let them use global warming to take more power from us.

Your brother in Spirit,
SpartanPlato.

More food for thought (I don't accept or reject this. It's up to you to decide):

What middle age crisis?

I think that I'm going on my 5th life crisis.

The first was in my pre-school years, when kissing little girls butts seemed to be an obsession of mine. Of course, kissing female butts still seems to be a weakness of mine, so I guess that technically I never got passed that one.

The second was in my early teenage years, when I was obsessed with my penis and putting it somewhere. I didn't figure out why and where until a few years after though, but when I finally did figure it out it was glorious! Of course, Gloria might tell you otherwise, but that's another story. Come to think of it, I still haven't gotten over that one either!

The third crisis hit me like a tone of bricks when I was in my early 20's. She was a French Parisienne girl, with curly black hair and snow flake coloured skin. Here name rhymes with a certain female garment -- you know who you are:)! That particular summer was spent studying French, and I don't mean the language!

The fourth crisis I married! The crisis continues!

So, now in my mid-thirties I'm facing my 5th crisis in life. I thought that things came in 3's - not trees - oh well, I was wrong again... nothing new, I'm used to it by now. What I'm not used to however is this constant back-and-forth, yin-and-yan, black-and-white, hot-and-cold... you get the picture! One day I'm a born again Christian; the next day that damn Bill Maher (I hope I spelled his name right) says there's no such thing as God and I'm an atheist again... sorry Bill, I meant to say apatheist. Jesus Christ is real, then he's not. Aliens are attacking but then the crop circles are discovered to be a hoax. Drinking a lot of water helps you lose weight, then it doesn't. If you run a marathon you live longer but you might also drop dead in the process. The stock markets are good and then they're really really bad. Marxism is dead but then it's alive again. We have global warming and then we don't! (just ask us here in Canada - it's cold dude!)

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Now it doesn't help to be a Gemini; we are schizo to begin with! I've started to learn to play the guitar lately, started to learn how to draw and I have re-started to learn how to write (which has been a life long passion of mine that I burried deep down inside because I had no one there to encourage me when I was growing up!). Oh, yeah, and I have daddy issues! Big ones! Recently I have been trying to get back into shape because I decided that my wife will never fuck me again like a whore, so I need to find a naughty, young, blonde, big breasted, Polish chick. Then my wife goes ahead and names a star after me on my birthday! Is that the coolest gift or what! I hate her! She is making me feel guilty. How long is this going to last? I need to get back to thinking about fucking beatiful, young, busty blondes!

Anyway, today I blew off an interview because I didn't get much sleep last night - and it had nothing to do with sex! I emailed the interview panel (yes - these days they need a gang of people to decide if you are worthy to sleep at their desks!) and told them that I sprained my ankle. I offered to do the interview over the phone but they want to see me in person, for some reason:) Oh well, there goes that job!

What middle age crisis? I guess we are finally catching up to the speed of technology. In the past they would only have one middle age crisis. I've already had five!

P.S. I should be at work, pretending to work, but I think that I'm going to see Terminator Salvation! Ah Arnold, where have you gone? Oh, that's right, he's a politician now...LOL...
