A man after my own heart

Tonight I read about Randy Pausch. I love his philosophy on life. He died of cancer recently, but it never slowed him down. I can remember my father being the same way in his last year. He knew it was coming but was determined to live life anyway. He even went so far as to shave his head before he started Chemo so that he was the one in charge that. Living with the cancer was just a fact of it. I loved my father very much and to remember him to this day brings a smile. His favorite song, like Randy's, was "Time in a Bottle" for years it made me cry. I spent a long time being an Eyeore, although I'm really a Tigger inside. Most people would tell you that I never grew up. Well, why do we have to? Life is better with play, love, kids. Life is what you want it to be. We are each the masters of our own fate. I may have spent a lot of my time "playing" but I've enjoyed my life, met some of the most interesting people, and followed my dreams. My brother tells me best, "I love you NO MATTER WHAT." Why can't more people feel that way?

On the Strange and Unusual

I follow the news. The news on the internet, not the TV. This gives me a lot more flexibility in looking at what I am interested in, and news you won't hear on the television. Lately I've found all sorts of fascinating articles tucked away in out of the way places. I thought, "why not bring them all together in one place" So I decided here would be the best place for it. I hope you enjoy this changing planet as much as I do.

Of course there is the story of the woman who had her dead dog "Booger" cloned. 5 times.

too bad she is Wanted in Tennessee


I have also been following the progression of Mutations forming within the human race.

This man appears to be turning into a tree. Reminds me of Justin Tree in Xanth.

There are women with half male DNA

This fellow is one of a few who naturally grow facial hair. All over the face.

This child was born with three arms.

This girl also had extra limbs.

Twelve fingers and 13 toes.

And with all that to think about this lady's ability somehow bothers me.

I don't intend for this to be a "freak show" and please don't post if that is what you are going to imply. I am simply taking note of how this world is changing more rapidly than ever in history. I will be covering climate change and other areas of interest as time goes by. Thanks for stopping by.
