Priceless or Clueless?

This is reposted from the excellent blog Joe.My.God. I almost fell of my chair from laughing so hard.

People cannot really be this clueless, or can they?

The Den at Easter

I went to The Den at Erotes late yesterday evening (my time).

Due to the ongoing Easter Holidays the club had less guest than usual but nonetheless DJ Butch Diavolo, club owner Chade and host Bacchus made sure that those of us that had come had a good time, they always do.

Here are a few sample pictures from yesterdays party.

Secret Message

Chanting A Mantra

"Om mani padme hum" is a mantra in Buddhism that is especially revered by the devotees of the Dalai Lama. This mantra is considered to be very powerful in creating transformation of the body, mind and soul.

Chanting it helps us to keep things in perspective and also helps us to achieve serenity and happiness thus taking us out of the permanent cycle of rebirth and placing us in a state of eternal bliss (Nirvana).

I use it myself - sometimes successfully - to prevent myself from responding to being baited. Alas, as the Swedish Communion Office says, "I poor and sinful man, born in sin, likewise having all the days of my life transgressed against Thee in manifold ways, do with all my heart confess to Thee, Holy and Righteous God, most Merciful Father, that I have not loved Thee above all things, nor my neighbor as myself."

Someday, perhaps one of these days...

But Lord you test me too much with my human frailty and some of my unmedicated neighbors. Please Lord make me stronger fast!

...and hell no, I have not become a born-again Christian during Easter, I am still an Atheist.

Earth Day 2011

For over 40 years, Earth Day —April 22— has inspired and mobilized individuals and organizations worldwide to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainability.

My contribution today will be to take the train to the real life party I am going to today instead of driving myself. Well there are actually some a bit less altruistic reasons for that decision also, but hey anything that helps the Earth counts!

Good News on Good Friday

I got this wonderful news on this Good Friday morning and feel I have to share it with you my devoted readers.

The blog is honored to welcome it´s first visitor from the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace (بروني دارالسلام). That is actually the full official name in English, isn't it just beautiful?

My blog friend Eddi Haskell used to have a very impressive "Flagcounter" collection at the bottom of his blog Eddi Haskell´s Second Life. I hope to one day amass the same amount of countries that have visited my blog, it may take some time... I think there must have been close to 300 flags.
