Where I want to go for my next Vacation

Camp Dismal Hollow.

It's found in Virgina. Apparently, it's so bad no one takes pictures.

You'll have to scroll down about half way and look for P-66.

I am not making this up.

Great Artists vs. Christianity: The Ultimate Dichotomy?

Potential Thought of the Day: "I find it impossible to talk about what makes human beings human without recognizing that our most quintessential human quality is, paradoxically, that we contain--regardless of one's faith tradition--some spark or echo of the divine. For many, this is both manifest in and the source of our creativity...God left the earth unfinished so humankind could work its skill upon it. God left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. God left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gave humankind the challenge of raw materials--not the ease of finished things. God left the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that human beings might know the joys and glories of creation."
Dr. Beryl Levinger

When you look down through history, it used to be that during a certain period of history the best of the best artists, thinkers, musicians, writers, scientists, or whatever were believers? Handel? Michaelangelo? Milton? Da Vinci? These guys changed their world through the use of their gifts for the glory of their God.

What happened?

When?

Why?

Hmmmmmm....

The Birthday, It is A-Comin'

Potential Wise Thought for the Day: "Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another years has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not to be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing."
Jerry Seinfeld

Why can't "Heroes" just be a bunch of stinkin' sandwiches

Possible Wise Saying of the Day: "Television: A medium. So called because it's neither rare or well done." Ernie Kovacs

I just watched show #7 of the first season of "Heroes" as research for a Super Secret Upcoming Project.

It sucks.

"Heroes," not the Super Secret Upcoming Project.

I'm fine that these "yobbos" have super powers. I'm especially glad that the cute little Japanese guy does, and the smexy little nurse man, and to my own surprise, the cheerleader. I wish I had the cheerleader's powers. No, actually I think all parents wish their kids had the Cheerleader's Powers. It would offer them better sleep at night.

So I'm OK with the premise. I like several of the characters. The writing is intriguing and the way they cut up the various "acts" for each show as well as the "Acts" of the actual story is very cool.

It's just not funny enough. I know what you're thinking, but I don't care. I think there should be just a tad more humor; a touch more joy or even happiness....or even a kiss of sunshine. Instead it's getting darker and sadder with less and less "sunshine or something, for heaven's sake.

I'm not asking for much: Out of a 40 minute show I think that 7 minutes at least should be uplifing, or sort of encouraged. But no. I feel angry to the point of violence.

My review of the series: As the little German in "Laugh In" once said, "Very interesting. But Stupid. Just in case you're wondering.

BTW: This underlining is cheezing me off but I can't figure out how to disable it.
