Happy Rebirth Phoenix Aquua!

Death and Rebirth is one of the most crucial parts of life, without one the other simply cannot exist!

Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.

Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.

The phoenix must burn to emerge.

I give you this to take with you:

Nothing remains as it was.

If you know this, you can begin again, with pure joy in the uprooting.

When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you.

Black Moon Rising — Omen Of Change

The day before my birthday, January 30th you and I will have an opportunity to experience a rare event.

The moon will be the 2nd new moon in the same month.

It's also going to be a Super Moon, which is why it's known at the "Black Moon".

What is so unusual is that this moon can only be seen during the day.

The black moon is seen as an omen of change.

This year we certainly have a lot of space phenomena.

The Dark

One man denies the truth.

Another denies his own actions.

Both go into the dark.

And in the next world suffer

For they offend truth.

Wear the yellow robe.

But if you are reckless

You will fall into darkness.

What Did Martin Luther King Do?

Most people do not know what Martin Luther King did...

...this will be a very short diary. It will not contain any links or any scholarly references. It is about a very narrow topic, from a very personal, subjective perspective.

The topic at hand is what Martin Luther King actually did, what it was that he actually accomplished.

What most people who reference Dr. King seem not to know is how Dr. King actually changed the subjective experience of life in the United States for African Americans. And yeah, I said for African Americans, not for Americans, because his main impact was his effect on the lives of African Americans, not on Americans in general. His main impact was not to make white people nicer or fairer. That's why some of us who are African Americans get a bit possessive about his legacy. 

Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy, despite what our civil religion tells us, is not color blind.

Watching Sports Is For Stupid People

Organized sports are bigger than ever. 

This is amazing, considering watching sports is a bigger waste of time than a bowel movement resulting in a Casio. 

Yes, the actual experience of swallowing, digesting, and excreting a digital wristwatch, has more life-enriching potential than watching the "big" game, which often is worse for you colon also.

Sports fans say "you just don't get it", but we hear "stop making me think about something that isn't a ball thrower's inflamed rotator cuff!" To put it in terms even the biggest jock can understand, we'll try to explain as nicely as possible three reasons why religiously following sports is for stupids. Dumb, idioty, stupids.

3. Sports is entertainment.

Sure, sports is to jocks what videogames are to nerds or reality TV is to boring people. The difference is that while gamers digitally murder civilizations, they are also developing quicker reflexes (to better decide which of the 17 Mountain Dew flavors is least painful to chug).
