Planet Earth? Planet Ocean?
Why do we refer to our celestial orb as "Planet Earth"? When almost 70% of its surface is covered by The Deep -- tremendous volumes of ...Water!
How about renaming our cosmic home, "Planet Ocean"?
Think BLUE (in lieu of GREEN)?

In the Running (for President) - "La Cou-Cou Raza"
A hispanic aquaintance told me (today) that Vincente Fox Quesada (the former President of Mexico) is going to run for President of the USA. "Que loco!" Could that be true? At least he has a sense of humor...
Hey I'd actually CONSIDER voting "Mexico" in 2008 (...if THEY can get the USA out of Iraq).

Leggo yer Ego!
‘Negativitis’ cripples the human spirit !
(Negative Thinking does not BARE the Soul... soul to soul!)

(Negative Thinking does not BARE the Soul... soul to soul!)

Does it not seem rather odd -- when certain people COMPLAIN that they don’t have enough TIME to be happy -- yet they find enough time to be sad?
No, not really...
You see, their deplorable plight has nothing to do with having sufficient or insufficient time. It has everything to do with the COMPLAINING. After all, complaining is the negation of happiness. It’s impossible to complain, and to also be happy ...at the same time.
So, beware of that insidious disease known as ‘negativitis’ (negative thinking).
It is as pervasive as the common cold, but far more damaging. It mutilates, cripples, and corrodes the human spirit. Those infected by it are broken men and women aimlessly plodding along. The dark clouds brooding over them obscure their vision and cause them to become confrontational, apathetic, and cynical. Their lives are like flat champagne, without any sizzle. So, how do we inoculate ourselves against such a harmful disease? It was only after learning about the horrible effects of smoking that people began to give it up.
Have YOU quit smoking?
It may be wise to do the same here. So, let’s review the effects of "negativitis".
1. Complaining is worse than doing nothing -- for it is digging the rut one is in, deeper and deeper. Each time a person complains -- it becomes increasingly difficult to climb out of the ditch they’ve created. To loosen the grip of this vicious habit, we need to become aware of our complaining -- stop it in its tracks, and immediately look for something positive to say. It’s just a matter of replacing a bad habit with a good one.
2. A negative attitude is self-defeating.
We won’t find solutions to life’s problems by looking for someone or something to blame. Those who say, "Positive thinking doesn't work for me," have got it backwards. It’s not positive thinking that has to work; YOU have to work. For example, you have to work at appreciating what you have instead of moaning about what you lack.
3. Failure to do what you want to do (be happy) causes physical and mental stress.
A rotten attitude, not only delays success, but also shortens life by damaging the immune system (to learn more on how your thoughts affect your immune system, investigate "psychoneuroimmunology" ). So, besides the diseases directly caused by stress, such as heart disease and ulcers, we become susceptible to all manner of other diseases because of a weakened immune system !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoneuroimmunology
4. Do you know anyone with a negative attitude? Do YOU have a negative attitude?
How many years have they been that way? Two years? Five years? Ten years? That’s how many years of happiness and success they have robbed themselves of. Blinded by their own negativity -- they are prevented from seeing the Good around them.
5. One characteristic of negative thinkers is their need to have the world behave according to their wishes.
They have never grown up and still live with childish demands. Whenever people and the world fail to act according to their selfish wishes, they are unhappy. Such a poisonous attitude prevents them from growing and learning how to cope with life's challenges.
6. Everything negative we say about ourselves to ourselves (self-talk) and to others is a suggestion.
We are unwittingly practicing self-hypnosis, programming ourselves for failure, and creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
7. The negative world of our imagination creates a negative world that is real and one that we are forced to live in.
No, not really...

7. The negative world of our imagination creates a negative world that is real and one that we are forced to live in.
8. A particularly pernicious effect of ‘negativitis’ is that it sets one up for the mentality of a victim.
Those with a woe-is-me attitude sit around in misery, waiting to be rescued. But they wait in vain because no one can rescue them from their own attitude. They are the only ones who can change it. And until they do so, they are condemned to continue suffering.
9. Another adverse effect of negativity is that it sets one up for the "magic-bullet" syndrome. That is, the victim of ‘negativitis’ spends their time looking for a quick, easy fix, when none exists. By denying a fundamental law of life that states anything worthwhile requires effort to achieve, they achieve nothing. They won’t make progress until they realize that nothing in life is free. They’ve got to be willing to do what it takes to get what they want.
10. Also, beware of the fact that negative people attract other complainers. Because those who live in a world of doom and gloom alienate others, they have no choice but to look for other negative people to associate with. They then feed off one another and get locked in a clique of losers.
11. The constant stress that flows from a negative attitude also saps one’s energy, focus, and motivation.
It is hardly a formula for success.
12. Also of great concern is the fact that those who refuse to work on improving their negative attitude -- may slide into depression, self-pity, and hopelessness.
Are YOU depressed?
13. Additionally, negative people not only harm themselves; they harm their world. They cease to make a contribution to it. Instead of helping, they spread gloom and misery everywhere. If they insist on infecting others, why not infect them with laughter? If they must carry something contagious, why not carry a smile?
14. Imagine being in a small boat drifting in a river ...and imagine being unaware that your boat has a motor. As long as you fail to use that motor you will be a captive of the meandering river. You will be a prisoner without any control over your final destination. Yet, the boat that we’re all riding in, does have a motor. We can use it to change our course. That motor is our power of choice...
All we have to do is choose to look for the GOOD -- for when we do so, that is what we will find!
And so it is Me Thinks,
"That Dear Man"

World Leadership
Prior to the World Wars -- Americans were a simpler, isular and insulated people. By the close of WW-II, Americans found themselves at the center of World affairs -- both as the only surviving economic power, and as the military Superpower -- grown over-confident.
As a people we've plunged into conflicts ever since. Wielding the might of an omnipotent military threat (one that has progressively emptied the US Treasury). Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what percentage of American assets, aren't "American" anymore? America had become the Goliath of the planetary economy during those equally devastating World wars.
Al-Kaida has become the David, armed with a sling. Are westerners going to be taken down by a stone?
And so it is,

Restroom Clues (Senatorial Secrecy)
What's the difference between the Truth and its opposing Lie (when it comes to the Public's "right" to a certain degree of scrutiny of a Public Servant's sexuality -- while serving and employed by, the Public)?
Especially when Morality and Justice dictate ...that:
-- The Lie just must be, believeable.
and
-- The Truth must be, just unbelievable!
The curious could always ask a certain US Senator from within his restroom of choice, n'est-ce pas?
And so it was,

The Nag Hammadi Library
The “Nag Hammadi Library” (popularly known as The Gnostic Gospels) is a collection of early Christian Gnostic texts (written in Coptic script) discovered near the Egyptian town of "Nag Hammadi", in 1945. That year, twelve leather-bound papyrus codices were found buried in a sealed pottery jar. The documents presented here are English translation(s).

Synchronicity of Indeterminancy & Mediocrity!
It occurs whenever a composer leaves whole sections and specific elements of a solo musical performance to the discretion of a poor performer. Hence, if you play the violin with a Chamber Orchestra, and there's a performer seated next to you (one who plays THAT badly), you would know (all too well) JUST what is meant by: "the Synchronicity of Indeterminancy & Mediocrity"!

Oxymora (decomposing compositions)
Ever notice how easily difficult it is (simply impossible) to write seriously funny oxymorons? The only choice for me was to ask for help from a paid volunteer at the library. So, I set out to decompose my Oxymora composition into original copy from some obviously obscure document that was once found missing twice amongst my personal public papers -- almost exactly one day ago, yesterday!
Whew!

(Marketing Insults) on Father Day?
"FATHER'S DAY 2007"
(this year it's on the 17th of June)
EVERY DAY is FATHER DAY (here):
http://www.kuhmann.com/Dads/index.htm
Let's fire all of the GUILTY Advertising Agencies! I assert that we should also DUMP their lame-ass, anti-male TV & magazine Ads! Who of (all thinking people) does not become sick-to-one's-stomach due to their BUZZ? I refer to the trendy, plethora of INSULT-THE-MEN slants that appear in advertising today!
I just hate that garbage and I for one, won't buy ANY products from the companies that use those strategies!
Or, haven't you noticed how many Ads demean "men" (males in general, and of all ages)? They make males out to be total "nincompoops" (silly, foolish, or stupid persons). And while that SLANDER is going down, all the females who appear in the Ads (also, of all ages) ...and everywhere within earshot -- busily roll their eyes while looking skyward -- acting as though they're the gloating "superior" race of "men"? Did they accept PAY to do that? Whoa!
Reverse gender-bias really does SELL! So, I suppose the terms: "ex-boyfriend", "ex-fiancé", and "ex-husband" qualify me as, "pre-owned" ...and thus "on sale", "a great deal" -- just a few less "MPG", at an affordable "APR", and at a "Mfgrs" price below "invoice"?
Do you see what I mean?
And while I'm on the subject of "STUPID" stuff -- let's add these terms to a list of "ban-em-forever", all-American buzzwords:
ARMED ROBBERY/DRUG DEAL GONE BAD: From the news reports. What degree of "bad" don't we understand? -- "After it stopped going well and good?"
ASK YOUR DOCTOR: The chewable-vitamin, morphine-of-marketing! -- "Ask your doctor if 'fill in the blank' is right for you! Heck, just take one and see if it makes you 'fill in the blank' or get deathly ill." -- "I don't think my doctor would appreciate my calling him after seeing a TV ad." I suggest that you ask your attorney to talk to 'the manufacturer' -- about all their disclaimers -- with reference to all the side-effects -- (spoken) "as-fast-as-they-can-speak".
AWESOME: Given a one-year moratorium in the mid-80's, when the Unicorn Hunters banished it ...during which it is to be rehabilitated until it means 'fear mingled with admiration or reverence' -- a feeling produced by something majestic." I say that there's no hope and it's time for "the full banishment. "The kind of tennis shoes you wear, no matter how clumsy, and that don't fit the majestic design of the word." -- "That a mop, a deodorant or a dating service can be called 'awesome' demonstrates the limited vocabulary of the country's copywriters." -- "Overused and meaningless.' My mother was hit by a car.' Awesome. 'I just got my college degree in English.' Awesome."
BOASTS: See classified advertisements for houses, as in "master bedroom boasts his-and-her fireplaces -- "It's never 'bathroom apologizes for cracked linoleum,' or 'kitchen laments pathetic placement of electrical outlets.'"
CHIPOTLE: Smoked dry over medium heat. -- "Not so long ago, ...a roasted jalapeno. Now we have a 'chipotle' burrito with 'chipotle' marinated meat, 'chipotle' peppers, sprinkled with a 'chipotle' seasoning and smothered in a 'chipotle' sauce. Time to give this word an extended rest."
COMBINED CELEBRITY NAMES: Celebrity "duos" of yore, e.g. "BogCall" (Bogart & Bacall), "Lardy" (Laurel & Hardy), and "CheeChong" (Cheech & Chong) just got lucky. "It's bad enough that celebrities have to be the top news stories. Now we've given them obnoxious names such as 'Bragelina,' 'TomKat' and 'Bennifer.'" -- "It's so annoying, idiotic and so lame and pathetic that it's 'lam-e-thetic.' "
GITMO: US military shorthand, for a base in Cuba -- the term drives a wedge wider than a split infinitive. "When did the notorious Guantanamo Bay Naval Base change to 'Gitmo', a word that conjures up an image of a bug-eyed, fluffy character in a kid-movie?"
GONE/WENT MISSING: It makes 'missing' sound like a place you can visit, such as the 'Poconos'. Is the person missing, or not? "She went there but maybe she came back. 'Is missing', or 'was missing' -- would serve us better."
HEALTHY FOOD: Point of view is everything. -- Someone told me, that the tuna steak the person had for lunch "sounded healthy." The reply: "If my lunch were healthy, it would still be swimming in a salt sea somewhere. But grilled, and nestled on salad greens, it's 'healthful' "?
i-ANYTHING: A replacement - 'e-Anything' made the list a few years ago. -- "Tech companies everywhere have picked this apple to the core." -- "Turn on…tune in…and drop out." -- "Banish any word that starts with it. I am just tired of it. It's getting old, like me."
NOW PLAYING IN THEATERS: Heard in movie advertisements. Where can we see that, again? "How often do movies premiere in Laundromats or other places besides theaters? I know that when I want to see a movie I think about going to a shoe store."
PWN or PWNED: Thr styff of lemgendz: Gamer defeats gamer, types in "I pwn you" rather than I OWN you. "This word is just an overly used Internet typo. It has been overused to the point that people who play online games are using it as part of their everyday speech."
SEARCH: Quasi-anachronism. Placed on one-year moratorium. -- "Might as well banish it. The word has been replaced by the verb, 'to Google.' "
TRUTHINESS: This word, popularized by 'The Colbert Report' and exalted by the American Dialectic Society's Word of the Year in 2005, has been used up. "What used to ring true is getting all the truth wrung out of it."
UNDOCUMENTED ALIEN: If they haven't followed the law to get here, they are by definition 'illegal.' -- "It's like saying a drug dealer is an 'undocumented pharmacist.' "
WE'RE PREGNANT: Grounded for nine months? -- "Were men feeling left out of the whole morning sickness/huge belly/labor experience? You may both be expecting, but only one of you is pregnant." -- "I'm sure any woman who has given birth will tell you that 'WE' did not deliver the baby." Although I might look like it ...if I don't lose some weight soon.
Just say no (as in "denial"). Me Thinks,
