A photo means two very different things depending on the day you look at it.
Two tales on one picture.
When I saw this AP photo yesterday, it gave me chills.
When I see it today, it makes me cry.
Children are growing up in a world that seems to be regressing into a sick cauldron of violence and horror. I have a son, too. I want my son to be excited by a hero named BATMAN.
Our society seems to be becoming a nightmare. God bless America indeed.
If there is a God, you really still think he blesses America…?

ACCORDING TO REPORTS
The shooter in Aurora did not make any concerted effort to actually escape after he was finished shooting. He apparently went to the theater with four weapons but carried three into the showing. He was wearing a bullet proof vest and a mask, set off tear gas, and began the carnage. But after it was over, he didn't run. Instead he was apprehended standing near his car..

Dads who took their sons because of how excited their sons were.
To go see a movie? No. To go see how disgusting our human race can so often be.
Yes there were threats to movie critics over the week and even the website rotten tomatoes had to take down its comments section. But this goes far beyond the reach of any fanboys online. This is disgusting, and frightening.
ADULTS. CHILDREN. TEENAGERS. The ages of the victims seem to span generations.
Also, this was extremely close to Columbine.

UK reports shows that there has been a huge uptake in children receiving the MMR vaccine, 87.1%. But the number ‘falls short’ of the target of ‘95%’..
Chaos in Canada.. a food festival had to close after 17 people were hospitalized after lightning struck..
There were tornadoes in Poland of all places the other day, another heat wave building in the USA, corn crops being decimated.. truly we are living in the quickening, just hope not ‘an ending’
A fierce lightning storm turns night into day
We are just living on borrowed time.
I think that sums up the gravity of the situation we are all in.
Please don’t consider this a negative posting about life. Life is actually quite fun for me right now. I have a 17-month-old little man that is the joy of life.. My wife and I have been forever changed by his existence in our world. I have a wonderful family. Friends who I cherish. We have jobs. We have a roof over our heads.. we have food when we are hungry. And I have an iPhone, and all the other technology that comes with life these days, too.
In the past two weeks I have been to two funerals. I will keep the overly personal information out, and just say that one was for someone who was 95 and a World War II POW. Another was for an uncle who lived to the truly ripe old age of 94. Both were pushing 100 when they met their final resting place. They both had long lives and lots of memories.. they both had stories. We all have stories.
However, I have determined that we have become overly busy with our selfish pleasures of newsfeeds and campaign stats and sports stats and bla bla bla bla bla. Me included.
I have neglected so much in the online world. It has become a habit instead of a pleasure. It went from being a novelty to a way of life. We all have been touched by the net bug.
What is the purpose to all this? Why ask! you know there is no answer. Lots claim to know the truth. Many others ponder it forever. In the end we don’t have a clue.
What happens when we do die!? Again, here.. no word from anyone who did perish. We are left to wonder if near death experiences are really experiences of truth or just brain waves going awry. We are left to question tenets of religion.. question all things.
In the net age we have oodles of knowledge at our fingertips. All we have to do is Google or Bing it or MetaFilter it.. or whatever it. Tons of data if you printed it on paper. But in our paperless society paper doesn’t exist anymore… right? Even though a paper-stack of bills sits next to me that snail mail sent me that was licked by some underpaid secretary …something in the world.
Bits and bytes of data flying around the world at a record pace. And with all this knowledge you’d think by now someone would have found the meaning of life! The closest I know that found something was John Clease in MONTY PYTHON’S THE MEANING OF LIFE.
The information superhighway.. that is what it was once dubbed. Now it’s filled with potholes and dead sites. Where does it all go in the end, though? No where.. bits and bytes go bye bye for us. Our bodies were dust and to dust they return. Despite the big plans we have to strive for big goals, we are cut down by something..whether it’s fate, God, time.. science. Whatever you believe.
So after this week, with two funerals and a wedding, one can only leave the day with a renewed perspective on this strange place called earth. A new lease on life!? Not a chance…
A constantly expiring lease? Now that is more like it..

The week ahead
Another heat wave building. I hope the corn crop can live..
Another week of wild weather expected.
Nothing seems 'normal' anymore.. except the abnormal.. accept it.
In the mean time, war strikes, pestilences reigns, and THE DARK KNIGHT will enter theaters this coming weekend.
Until then.. have FUN with SOME NIGHTS. A song to start your manic Monday morning...

A halo forms. A halo vanishes..
Sure, the late Penn State coach is no saint. But now that the Freeh report is sinking in and new facts are being digested, it’s clear that he was no saint either.
He was a man who wanted to try to cover up as much as he could to save the reputation of Penn State.. and sordid as it all seems, the children who were abused in this situation always were last on the list of people who were helped. It’s a disgusting and sick story .. one that I can’t really read about much or think about much because of how deplorable it was and is, but also because of how many generations of proud Penn State graduates are shamed for good by the scars of sexual abuse in locker rooms on the campus.
Oh, and yes, the school has decided to re-do those shower rooms.. take away the look … but not the memories. No way in hell will people forget what happened there. And with more and more information trickling out about how much higher ups knew of the situation, the story isn’t dead yet.

You don't often hear about a Polish tornado alley
But today a tragic situation unfolded ..
A freak wave of tornadoes slammed in part of Poland today.. houses are wrecked, people are shocked, and tonight at least one is dead in the nation.
This summer has already given Poland and other European nations hail, flash floods, and heavy winds. And now quite powerful tornadoes have struck..
This can happen in this nation and other UK countries, but it rarely does. And when it does it is seldom as powerful as the storms that hit Sunday..
Here is a video of some tornado events:

Amazing time lapse video of the Northern Lights
Beauty in a 1 minute..
Here is a time lapse video of the Northern Lights in the early morning hours of 7/15/2012 taken just north of Dubuque, Iowa at the Balltown, Iowa scenic overlook.
And the scenes of a green and purple aura in the sky are absolutely amazing.
Not sure if my hometown saw northern lights.. sadly the sky was cloudy all night.
Sunspot 1520 and the X flare last week caused this spectacular show, and I am truly jealous of whoever got to see it..including the residents of Balltown, Iowa.

DANCING IN THE DARK, LITERALLY
The arts were cut off in London last night. Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney were wowing the crowd, jamming out the night.. and then they were CUT OFF by the organizers because LONDON HAS A CURFEW.
Glory Days quickly ended. Dancing in the dark ensued.
And lots of people around the world suddenly took notice to a nanny state that tells concert when too much music is too much.
And yes, the angry musicians are lashing out.. Steven van Zandt said England is becoming a police state.
Next up: The Olympics! Hope the swim matches don't go too long...
