Bunny’s revenge…
Random conversation of the day was between myself and my friend Matt involving Easter. Has anyone ever thought of the significance of the holiday, how it started, and the all the crap about the bunnies and the eggs? Well, here is a little history lesson, boys and girls. The idea of the bunnies and eggs, and their relation to easter, comes about from the Pagan religion in Germany, where the both were related back to to the concept of fertility. Since spring is the time of new birth, the common relation was natural. Now, from what I have learned, and could be wrong, when some of the ideas and concepts of the Pagans were mixed into the Christian faith, the idea of continuing on this belief was shared among many Church leaders. Hence, how Easter, the celebration of Jesus’ rebirth, is related back to bunnies and eggs.
Ironic how a Pagan belief, which was scorned and almost destroyed by the Church, shares such practices.
Which brings me to this comic below, that can be found on this webcomic
But soon, there will be revenge ….
Sadly though, the real Easter Bunny has been found dead on the side of a hill….
Have a great night
Some new logos…
Well, the brother wants new colors for his company logo. Nothing too fancy, but here we go

I am leaning towards the one below, as I like the almost coffee look to the colors….
Just some thoughts
“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are things you get ashamed of because words diminish them…words shrink things that seemed limitless in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst I think…when a secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but a want for an understanding ear.” -Steven King
No other collection of words could truly put together the feelings and thoughts I have. I wish I could formulate a response, but I feel anything I say about the subject would be lost in the depth of this quote. So take it as you will, and understand how I am. Only few will ever see through the walls surrounding my life.
Next thought:
My future tattoo, minus the clouds….what do you think? I took the picture while living in Japan. The tattoo would be in memory of my grandmother who passed away last July, as our last trip together was to Washington DC and we saw the cherry blossoms blooming. Hence, the significance.
Final thought:
I think I drink too much coffee.
That is all. Time for me to go.

Hello? Can I wake up now?
Lately I have realized that for the most part, I do not know what day it is at any given time. On some days, I feel like I am in a trance-like state, going from class to class, from task to task, without any brainpower being used. Other days I feel like my life is in fast-forward and all I am doing is trying to catch up. I have expereienced similar sensations, but not for years. Two times in the past, for that matter. Boot camp and my deployment to Iraq. The easiest way to describe it all is one moment I am getting there, then a huge blur occurs, and then I am getting ready to leave. The moments, the memories, of everything between all become packed into one. I cannot tell you when specific events happened, or recognize the differences between each event, no matter the significance. While not necessarily a trance-like state then due to the severity of the situations I was in, the world around me kept going without me. This is the hardest thing to describe, but the best way to say it is like I am the caged animal looking out, watching everything change around me, while my world, my habitat, my life, stays the same. These sensations do not frighten me, as nothing bad has come of them. It is the realization of these feelings that bring me more comfort than anything. Almost a sign to myself that maybe I am not crazy after all.
Will someone please open my cage and let me out? I want to see what all the commotion is about.

What I want to see from my President…
Sadly, I am not impressed at all with the candidates of the 2008 Presidential election. As a matter of fact, I am more scared of the individuals involved with these upcoming elections. So, I have come up with a list of the traits that I want to see in a candidate. Realistic or not, this candidate would get my support 100%.
I want to a candidate that would:
- Supports a small government
- Supports women’s rights and their rights to choose
- Supports a strong military, but will not attack unless physically provoked
- Someone that holds the American people accountable for their actions, putting a higher limit on welfare and the amount of time it can be recieved
- Someone who gives back to the country, keeping the people informed of the issues at hand
- Someone who will reform Congress and the Senate
- Hold the elected individuals accountable for their actions in both houses, such as with attendance.
- Limit spending or governmental money that is unnecessary towards the job of the representatives
- Lower the salaries of the individual representatives and make it harder for raises to be voted for
- Someone that will support a “Green” America
- More support for research into eco-friendly technology
- More suppot for eco-friendly companies
In the end, I guess it’s a little too much to ask for a perfect moderate. Someone in the middle. Maybe someday we will see this government stop screwing the American people over. Both parties scare me. Both parties have policies that only come across as failures about to happen. Maybe someday it will change.
