I  also posted this on my personal blog lastnight. Isn't he a sweet sweet child?

I am a bit delirious tonight. You might notice.

This is just a reminder that I post/blog Here: Breeze Debris
& Here: Lucid Nutrition.

Stop by and say hello sometime. And if you are interested in becoming a LN contributor....Well, That would be awesome!! Send me an email.

Oh...and I post pics here once in awhile as well: FLICKR

One more thing, if possible, please make it a point to stop for a stretch along the Pacific Coast Highway near Big Sur as often as you can. It healed me immensely.... It was much much needed and now, NOW I am ready :) I am back in Texas (sadly) but....that's another story. I'm happy.

Awwwww! Summertime! What a relief for all the underpaid, overworked, and exhausted public school teachers in this nation. I look forward to watching this film by Morgan Spurlock, the indie film maker who is also responsible for SuperSize Me (which I just watched for the first time last night) and the reality television series, 30 days.

The World Peace Diet by Dr.Will Tuttle is the first book to make explicit the invisible connections between our culture, our upbringing, our personal food choices, and the source of all humanity's sufferings. Dr. Tuttle offers a plethora of ways to make a positive transformation in our individual and collective lives by first and foremostly following a vegan diet.

On April 16, 2007, I attended a book signing for The World Peace Diet authored by Dr. Will Tuttle. The event which was generously and kindly brought to us by the Society of Peace was certainly a night to remember. Delicious vegan foods such as tofu egg rolls and tamales with pineapple tomato sauce were provided by Banyan Foods. (Please visit The Society of Peace website for further event listings and volunteer opportunities)

Posted below is the video from the book signing of Dr. Tuttle demonstrating an intricate explanation of his book, The World Peace Diet. You will find it evident that Dr. Tuttle is not just trying to sell us another "diet" book; rather he has zealously set out with the honorable mission of bringing compassion into our lives and awareness to our plates.

The following is a bit from the ShareNeedLes blog written by me mate, Jamie about the 2008 truly lucid Presidential Hopeful from Ohio. From what I know of him so far, I like him and not only because he is a vegetarian and has an awesome wife who blogs, but because he tells it like it is and is zealous about fostering sound health for all humanity and making some peace globally.

"Dennis is about as awake as a politician can be. He has his policies inline with the peace seekers and unlike the other candidates, his universal health care plan is specific and clearly designed to better the 'health' of many, not the 'wealth' of a few. Dennis walks his talk and is saying exactly what America needs to hear. My only question is:
Even if the elite media channels were to allow a microbe of America's attention to be enlightened by Dennis Kucinich, would they (the American people) be capable of listening?

Dennis is the man, but is he ahead of the citizen's times or maybe he's ahead of most politicians times? Do the majority of people in America have the capacity to tune in to what he is speaking - namely the truth?" ~Jamie Parks

The following is what Congressman Kucinich said today on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives:

"The American people want the war in Iraq to end and the troops to be brought home. Why then is this House preparing to capitulate to the Bush White House and let the war continue?

“We learned that the Democratic compromise with the President is to make withdrawal timetables nonbinding. We have the power to end the war now. We should not give the President another dime for the war.

“We should not permit this war to continue. This House passed a $97 billion supplemental, which gives the President money to keep this war going through September 2008 and then a week later approved the President’s budget for another $195 billion for Iraq to keep the war going into 2009.

“And now we are talking about a nonbinding timetable for withdrawal? What’s the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans on the war? Well, the Republicans don’t want any timetables for withdrawal at all. And the Democrats? The Democrats want nonbinding timetables for withdrawal. There is no difference. Either way the war keeps going on indefinitely.”

That is, until he is the elected President over some other over-rated idolized puppet. I'm keeping my eyes on this one:) You should too.

If you dont already know...

Thanks alot Phil!! I guess I can spill a little!



Now I have to tell everyone:

1) I was captain of the cheerleading squad in high school for 3 years. Drop the stereotypes people. I was also Homecoming Queen. Yuck, i know. I threw my crown in the swimming pool at the party afterwards and freaked people out... especially the girl who really wanted it. I swear I was a nerd. I was also in the orchestra. Go figure!

2) I am a needle phobic. Every time I get a shot... I convulse and faint and scare the hell out of my mom. They say its "normal" but i dont buy that!!!  I've done so much research and tried breathing techniques etc.... but nothing has helped really...Any suggestions?

3) I was engaged to be married once. HaHa. I was super young in a love trance. Glad I got through that...superglad!

4) I love to be alone. I find myself more focused and creatively driven when I am solo.

5) I live with a futurist. I'll be writing the book on that as soon as I can. What a ride it has been so far.

Dont forget to tag your post with five things...blah blah;)

( I think this is an interesting read)

The Human Being in his fascinated trance does not remember his Self. We must Self-Remember our Selves from moment to moment. We need to Self-Remember our Selves in the presence of every representation that could fascinate us. Let us hold ourselves while in front of any representation and ask ourselves: Where am I? Am I in the physical plane? Am I in the astral plane? Then, give a little jump with the intention of floating within the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if you float it is because you are outside the physical body. Thus, the outcome will be the awakening of consciousness.

The purpose of asking this question at every instant, at every moment is with the intention of engraving it within the sub-consciousness, so that it may manifest later during the hours given to sleep, hours when the ego is really outside the physical body. You must know that in the astral plane, things appear just as here in this physical plane. This is why during sleep, and after death, people see everything there in a form very similar to this physical world. This is why they do not even suspect that they are outside their physical body. Therefore, no dead person ever believes himself to have died; because he is fascinated and profoundly asleep.
If the dead had made a practice of remembering themselves from moment to moment when they were alive, if they had struggled against the fascination of the things of the world, the outcome would have been the awakening of their consciousness. They would not dream. They would walk in the internal worlds with awakened consciousness. Whosoever awakens the consciousness can study during the hours of sleep all the marvels of the superior worlds. Whosoever awakens the consciousness lives in the superior worlds as a totally awakened citizen of the Cosmos. One then coexists with the Great Hierophants of the White Lodge.

Today as I was cleaning up around our garage, I found boxes and boxes full of unused spray paint! Of course I got the urge to paint over several of my never finished pieces of cheap art. What would it hurt? I have never really used spray paint before but I loved it! Now I feel led to spray color on sidewalks, trains, and buildings. I can see why graffiti artists do what they do. It's addicting! If I ever get the chance (without getting caught) I promise only to deliver positive messages using elementary hearts, flowers, and stars. I hope you enjoy the second experiment of the day which is the video I created using iMovie (of me painting). Beware: I am no master artist nor do I aim to be...It's just therapy:)
