Whenever I see a word used incorrectly it makes me grit my teeth. One of the most abused is the use of the wrong word when 2 or more words sound alike. Like Threw and Through. Like to (direction) too (also) and two (number). Also abused is the use of the wrong tense. "I seen it" instead of " I saw it" "Me and him went" instead of "He and I went". It grieves me that adults are passing on this mangling to the next generation. I see it on TV. I see it even on UH forum. I hear it daily. I truly believe that many people do not even know that they are speaking or writing incorrectly and that is even more disturbing. I realize that language evolves over hundreds of years but what with all of the abbreviations and slang I wish that the basics would stay the same. It is a sad commentary upon our educational system that this is so common. Just blowing off some steam. Sorry I will stop gritting my teeth now.

It is not the cause of my insomnia. We haven't found that out yet. I will go to bed at 10 pm and not get to sleep till 4 in the morning and then sleep only a few hours. What sleep I do get is interrupted sleep. None of the Rx that my doctor has tried has worked just as there are no pain medications that work. The only time I have no pain is when they knock me out with something like Morphine and that is not an option in my opinion. And I do have fun with the visions. And the colors are phenomenal! Perhaps they DO influence my art. I just wish I was able to reproduce them in the complex detail that I see or to remember them well enough to try. I did once set up a tape recorder in bed and spoke a description as the colors and shapes changed. Some of the combinations were amazing.

Ok. This is a question topic. Do any of you also experience something like this?
When I close my eyes I see colors. Not just one. Not just flat and still, but many combinations that move constantly. They also include patterns. Many times those patterns include Dragons. I can see these colors at night even with my eyes open if the room is dark enough. Bright colors: purples, chartreuse, fuchsia, lime greens, etc. A new "vision" came to me last week. It was not in color. It was a "screen" of computer language with odd shaped blank places. As I watched the text began to disappear from the bottom to the top till it was gone. Then last night there was a different no color scene. It was patterns this time and included scales like in the Color Dragon visions. It also had bars and other geometric shapes. My eyes were open. (no I was not asleep and dreaming this stuff) I could see my bed linens and lifted my fingers and wiggled them and could see them by the little light emitted by my bedside clock/radio. The scene was like a transparency laid over reality and of course like all the others it moved constantly, Changing. There were other times when I see multiple faces in the same "scene" that are constantly morphing into others as well as full figures and some doing some kind of task. These change so fast and last such a small amount of time that capturing their meaning is impossible. Now when these happen, I think back upon my day past and try to connect these with what I had seen or experienced that day. Sometimes I can find a connection but mostly there is none. I often wonder is this is something that others experience and if any research/study has been done to determine why the brain produces these phenomenon. What do you think? No I am not crazy so you can eliminate that thought!

The trouble with the TSA method is that it is a complete violation of the 4th amendment which protects us against search and seizure except with a warrant or for reasonable cause. The only way to end that protection is to declare martial law and that is limited to a short time period. The sheep have been fooled into believing that as long as they are being protected, it is okay if we give up our 4th amendment rights. But that is not so. The Israeli's have developed an extremely good system. We could learn it. Train security personnel at airports, courthouses and other government buildings what to look for (not who) and our rights will be restored at the same time our security will improve. Remember all passengers were being violated on 9/11.
