Cricket...Cricket...God, why Cricket!

The Cricket Village @ The Gymnasium

There are good sides and bad sides to cricket.

On the up side to cricket, while the country is indeed currently overpriced, there are a host of things to do right now in Barbados every night without fail.

And apparently, some of these things are actually FREE!! trust me, I am still shocked. Anyhow, I will pass by the Gymnasium tomorrow and see what the tribute to good old Alfred is all about. Since it's free, I figure if they do him injustice, I can walk out without losing a thing.

I wanted to take a gander to Pan as well but, well, my budget is a bit strained this month. Maybe something can still happen.

Sony Ericsson Walkman™ PhoneW810i

I'm focussed on it. Here's the next greatest phone with one small deficiency. It uses Sony Memory Stick technology only. Oh well, guess we can't have the perfect phone. Then it'd probably be out of stock.

Doctor Who - Season 3 Episode 3

I just finished watching this week's episode of Doctor Who (I believe this is the Tenth Doctor) so he's only got one more life left.

I must be getting old because all of the characters I grew up with are metamorphing. Spiderman got cloned, Superman died and came back to life. Batman passed on his mantle to some new guys, and today's cartoons are not funny and innocent, they're harsh, ugly and cruel. But apparently today's funny is defined by how much blood you spill or how much pain the victim suffers.

I don't think it bodes well for us as a race.

I'll jot down in the margins when I pass new pictures or series of interest to one and all.

Two Hours

2 hours = 120 minutes.

That's a lot of time. My sister insists that if I was to spend two(2) hours every night thinking of something to create, and jotting down my ideas here in my life margin that I would achieve more than I have achieved in my whole life.

And the scary thing is, it'll make you wonder what the hell you were doing with your life in the first place.

So, two(2) hours folks. I'll give it a try and let you know what it adds up to. No not fourteen(14) hours a week dim bulbs, I mean what comes out of those fourteen(14) hours.

I wonder...

And in the beginning...

Death.

I often avoid funerals and all they entail. Mourning, sorrow, falsehoods, memories, grief, laughter, hypocrisy are the majority of that. But what really bothers me is the cessation of life.

Man is 'born' from living cells. Nothing is inert then suddenly becomes alive. That only happened with Adam & Eve. Since then, it's all been the continuation of that spark that was forced into Adam and Eve on that blessed day in Creation. Man & woman copulate and produce offspring from their own living cells. A subtle blending of the two bringing with it change and pro-creation. A magical process?? Yes, yes indeed no matter how mundane any Ob/Gyn may try to make it, it's sexier than life.

However, the coin has two sides. Pro-creation continues life but on the other hand, all life must cease in one form or fashion. As we see daily, that spark, that juice that we are imbued or gifted with, that life that is ours to cherish but for a short while, that breath will after a while, leave us nothing more than the empty, inert husk that Adam was prior to 'divine intervention'.

So what happens to that spark?

To truly understand or explore the answer to that question, first we must try to fundamentally understand where the spark first came from. The two schools of thought - Science vs. Religion collide squarely on this topic. For all we know the "Big Bang" that scientists speak of could have been when the two did meet first! It's quite easy to picture or imagine Science & Religion as a married couple :) But I digress.

Where does the spark come from? What possibilities exist? Let's work it out. Piece by piece until the puzzle is finished :)
