I Just Fell Asleep A Little In My Mouth
In investigating the intricacies of the body's biological rhythms, scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have discovered the existence of a "food-related clock" which can supersede the "light-based" master clock that serves as the body's primary timekeeper.

usurp power, i surp hope
in a new homeland securty directive, bush has declared the right to martial law if any disaster come to fruition in the last few months of his POWER. we have talked about this on the blog before, but is seems as pertinant as ever. he has removed the constitution's call for a meeting with congress prior to taking control, and has virtually enabled himself to become a dictator. our "soft" media in this country would never covera story like this for fear of losing funding from advertisers. take a look:
drugs=bad?
the prescription drug companies are outta control. they seek profit and disregard all barriers of safety and morality. they constantly make up new conditions in order to "provide salvation" through chemicals. the long term effects are often unknown and lobbyists in Washington make sure the FDA does not hold things up. blah blah. the list goes on. bad news.
this link shows a mind-boggling catalogue of prescription drug related murders, suicides and arrests. these drugs are not only failing to help many people, but are part of a serious problem effecting our society. ALL of the SCHOOL SHOOTINGS in recent history in america are linked to drugs like zoloft and prosac.......
a quick glance will do

it will come; it is coming
" The phase of full participation is a growth phase in which we develop gifts that will be applied very differently later. The phase of trying to fix, to endure, to soldier on with a life that isn't working is a maturation phase that develops qualities of patience and determination and strength. The phase of discovering the all-encompassing nature of the problem is usually a phase of despair, but it need not be. Properly, it is a phase of rest, of stillness, of withdrawal, of preparation for a push. The push is a birth-push. Crises in our lives converge and propel us into a new life, a new being that we hardly imagine could exist, except that we'd heard rumors of it, echoes, and maybe even caught a glimpse of it here and there, been granted through grace a brief preview.
If you are in the midst of this process, you need not suffer if you cooperate with it. I can offer you two things. First is self-trust. Trust your own urge to withdraw even when a million messages are telling you, "The world is fine, what's wrong with you? Get with the program." Trust your innate belief that you are here on earth for something magnificent, even when a thousand disappointments have told you you are ordinary. Trust your idealism, buried in your eternal child's heart, that says that a far more beautiful world than this is possible. Trust your impatience that says "good enough" is not good enough. Do not label your noble refusal to participate as laziness and do not medicalize it as an illness. Your heroic body has merely made a few sacrifices to serve your growth.
The second thing I can offer you is a map. The journey I have described is not always linear, and you may find yourself from time to time revisiting earlier territory. When you find the right life, when you find the right expression of your gifts, you will receive an unmistakable signal. You will feel excited and alive. Many people have preceded you on this journey, and many more will follow in times to come. Because the old world is falling apart, and the crises that initiate the journey are converging upon us. Soon many people will follow the paths we have pioneered. Each journey is unique, but all share the same basic dynamics I have described. When you have passed through it, and understood the necessity and rightness of each of its phases, you will be prepared to midwife others through it as well. Your condition, all the years of it, has prepared you for this. It has prepared you to ease the passage of those who will follow. Everything you have gone through, every bit of the despair, has been necessary to forge you into a healer and a guide. The need is great. The time is coming soon "
