CACA DO DO FOR BRAINS

Y

es, that's what I think sometimes. Last night I was watching reruns of CSI. Inside an insane asylum a patient is murdered. The murderer is caught as usally. The murderer is talking to the victim as he, the victim, is working with a potter wheel while making a clay urn. As the urn is whirl around the wheel and the man is handling the urn as it turns, the voice is also etched into the clay... just like a old plastic record was made years ago.

The CSI team take the urn, turn their computer on and picked out the voices on the clay. At the end of the show Gil Grisson made reference to the "Lazarus Bowl", whereby a woman in Biblical times was spinning a clay bowl on a pottery wheel and it was found there was voices on this urn... the language was an ancient Arabic. The make a long story shorter, it was discovered it was the voice of Jesus speaking the words to raise Lazarus from the death.

This story had a vague ring to it... I started looked through out the Internet for the Bible story. I hadn't found it. The even went to the Vatican library... surely they have this story. Nada...

I kept coming with story's from The X Files called Hollywood AD:

Scully relates to Mulder the story of the Lazarus bowl, a clay bowl made at the time Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, that recorded his words in the clay and has the power to raise the dead. Scully gives the bowl to resident techie Chuck Burks, who discovers an Aramaic voice, that appears to be one man commanding another to rise from the dead.

I could sworn I heard or read that they found this urn and and and.... oh well...

Have you ever had a situation you swore that something was true... only to come to find out it was all in your mind?

P.S. Yes, it really is 1 AM... ugh!

JUST YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH...

N

ow I have installed the Not So Normal News in 10 different languages!! In case you've missed them, the flags noting the languages are up above where I am writing. You can run your cursor on the flag it it will tell you what country it is there for you. I am debating putting the United States as an foreign language since I don't what we speak, officially, anymore.

Also, there are just 182 days left until Christmas! That's right... 182. In an effort to help you, I have installed the "Denny's Mall and Emporium" on the left side in the Index. Now I did my part by installing it... now it's your part... that part being whereby you go to it and maybe buy something! If you're going to buy anything on the Internet... why not buy from "Denny's Mall and Emporium"? We both win here! You buy the item you want and I make a small profit so I can buy a can of tuna fish for dinner next week!

The is another reason I need your help. I really want to you and look it over and tell me if I am missing something... Meaning items or whatever I don't have in there. Or could I organize it better?

HOW TIMES HAVE YOU WISHED YOU COULD...

E

scape to a deserted island somewhere? I was just sitting here looking over the headlines and stories from where I would pick a story to write about for the blog.

After reading for about a half hour, I was so depressed I should have taken an another anti-depression pill. What this world doing to itself? They don't ever sit down and look at the bigger picture?

I watched CNN and watched Hamas Islamist take over Gaza... I watched the destruction being done by themselves. The guy standing on a desk in Gaza city hall, raising his gun and shouting something. Can someone, anybody at all... please tell me what Hamas will bring to that region of the world?

Personally, I think the whole Iraq situation is a lost situation. How many more lives on both sides do we have bury before we pull out? We're not winning... shrug.

Then on the other side of the globe we have North Korea... big deal they are shutting down their reacter... there is anybody out there who doesn't think that the first time they don't get what they want the reacter gets turned on...

As far as Iran... we should have blown the place up when we had the chance.

And I believe we have a deal with bin Laden... you stay hidden and we won't capture you and execute you like Sadam. I don't for a minute think we can't find this guy.

And let's see... is there anything that pisses me off around the world?

Maybe I should not eat hot syrup banana splits before going to bed...

TODAY IS MONDAY, 18 JUNE 2007

Y

es indeee it is... and all day it is... and do have anything to say? Because I have nothing to say... Oh, did I mentioned it was also 2:07 AM? But then again, it's not the time you're reading this article.... unless you are reading it over my shoulder as I type it.

You're still reading? I just would have given up a few sentences ago. By any chance you got anything you would want me to talk about? Go ahead and put it in the Comments and if I have nothing to talk about tomorrow... maybe I'll pick your subject to write about.

It's 2:17AM and I'll going to bed. Buona Sierra!

Guess how much is here? This little pile was picked up in Mexico during a drug bust.

Did you guess $207 million bucks?

You Are From Neptune

You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything.

WOW! 6,585,987th PLACE

E

veryone... I've made it to 6,585,987th place in the world out of all the bloggers in the world.... all 62,660,000 of them!

I can remember when my blog was just a twinkle in my eye, okay, maybe just a piece of "sleeper" in the corner of my eye...

With the old blogger gone I can't go back and look at how many articles but I think it's been about 1,000 articles, give or take a few. The Not So Normal News now reaches every continent in the world! And actually all of those countries are listed at the bannerhead.

The thanks really belongs to YOU.... the readers who have been here, through thick and thin, the fellow bloggers who come every day and plow my ending diatribes... put up with me everyday... all of the 97,189 people that logged on here as of 4:46AM this morning.

I know this might seem a bit over the top... what the hay... it's Friday and I have nothing else write about... so why not? LOL You know I am going to do? In celebration, I am taking the day off! Yes, I am not writing a blog article today!

I'm sorry, I know you come here looking for my morning news... but wait... know what just dawned on me... the Soprano's only made about 187 episodes... big deal! I've down about 1,000 articles, give or take....

Please don't forget to this weekend to come back and go to Stroke Laugh. Ok, ok... the article is already posted you so go read it now. But if you read it today then you won't have anything to read tomorrow!

WOMAN DIES WAITING FROM HELP IN ER

F

amily members say hospital workers ignored their pleas for help, so they called 911 from the hospital frantically seeking help. A woman is lying on the floor of a Los Angeles County hospital emergency room. She is throwing up blood.

A half an hour later, Edith Rodriquez, 43, a mother of three, was dead, leaving the family reeling. The county supervisor is outraged, and it's all been caught on tape.

Rodriguez had been to the emergency room on three separate occasions. Each time she was released after being given prescriptions for pain.

This time, she lay on the floor of the emergency room for 45 minutes. A security video shows staffers and other patients standing by as a janitor cleaned the floor around her.

This is not the first time I have heard of that happening in hospitals in this country. What the heck is happening in this country...

What kind of medical personnel who we have working in hospitals?

AND, NOW AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE

A

s you have noticed I have changed some stuff around on the blog. Added a few things to hold some interest, deleted a few things I got tired of seeing and just changed odds and ends.

Do me a favor? Over on the right column, where I have the Drop List of blogs, please look to see if I have your blog. I went through the list and erased blogs that were either out of date, or out of commission... whatever. There is also the possibility I may accidentally erased you.

As of guessed... I don't have crap to talk about this morning. I had my speaking session with the speech therapist yesterday. She comes two times a week. I think I have come a long way since the last stroke. My sentences are 90% understandle now.

Know what? I am falling asleep at this desk, lol... it's 4:23 AM and I am going back to bed. Sorry for the no brainer blog article this morning. Paris hasn't even done anything interesting to blog about... I can't wait for the stealth shower pictures to hit the internet... lol

I HAVE FOUND GOD .....AGAIN

Y

es children... Last night I once I have found God again, and even called out to Him. While walking into my office, once again I stubbed my toe... my little toe... smashing it into the desk. I called out loud, "God damn it!" And I even went further, and I begged God to smite the desk.

And... don't laugh... if Paris told Babs Walters that she found God after spending 2 days in "prison", even I found Him again after stubbing my toe on the desk... again, and again, again, and yes... again... at least once a week stubbing my toe on this stupid desk.

Normally a prisoner discovers God after spending years in jail... death row inmates finally find religion someplace while walking that final 100 feet. Paris was set a record for finding God within 48 hours behind bars.

She even said she wanted to start a home similar to the Ronald McDonald Homes, only it is called "The Paris Hilton Home." Bang. bang, bang... <--- my head hitting my desk.

Cells in prison go for about $99 per night... Paris is living in luxury now as she moved in the hospital wing which goes for $1100.00 per night!

Now don't laugh... Paris is planning a book about her life behind bars... so young girls that who look up to her will avoid the hellish nightmare she has lived in the black jungle board!

I'm sorry guys, I am wasting more space on this story... but it this better than fiction. I never, never would believe it but I was alive to actually witness this mess..... and it's not over... and it's not over it... not by a long shot.

COME ON, LET THE ANGRY FLOW!

So come on... let's hear you really feel. Laugh!!

I CAN'T STAND IT ANY MORE!!

A

s you know I have not been writing a blog article on the weekends. Instead I have been writing a blog article over on my other blog at
This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter but important lesson from this experience.

As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials.

I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

Now I know I have a few strokes behind me... and I realize I have a few screws lose and or missing up there....

BUT come on now... is there is ANYONE out there that truly believes that Paris thinks that? ... or even knows where Afghanistan is located?

LIES ARE CROPPING UP ALREADY!

The following "news" article cropped on a blog that was to mimmick a CNN report. It is totally false.
