The Dog Star

Sirius – The Dog Star is the brightest star in the night sky. It has been known as the Dog Star for thousands of years. Who named it and why?
If you have never thought about this before, you may not understand just how interesting this question is.
In ancient Egypt they referred to Sirius as the Dog Star, they also have depictions of humans with the heads of dogs carved into their pyramids and ancient stone tablets. It is even speculated that before it was changed by the Pharaoh the Sphinx originally had the head of a dog.
Why did ancient people hold the dog in such high esteem and carve and paint pictures of people with attributes of dogs? There are even pictures, hieroglyphics and cuneiforms showing humanoids with the heads of dogs wearing helmets, like ancient astronauts.
Sumerians and Egyptians referred to Sirius as the Dog Star, the Chinese referred to Sirius as the Celestial Wolf. The Seri and Tohono O’odham called Sirius the Dog, the Blackfoot called it Dogface, the Cherokee called it the Dog Star and the Pawnee referred to Sirius as the Wolf or Coyote Star. The Alaskan Inuit called Sirius the Moon Dog.
Why? How is it possible for so many different people and different cultures in completely different parts of the planet; that had no proven interaction or communication refer to a Star by the same name?
The Dogon Tribe in Africa has worshipped the Dog Star for centuries. They have ancient cave paintings depicting the Sirius Star System showing Sirius A, Sirius B as well as Sirius C in the correct positions as well as their correct orbits. The Dogon people say that visitors from the Sirius Star system came to Earth long ago and helped humans. They say these visitors were dog people.
Part of the mystery is how this primitive people can even know about the Dog Star or where it is located and length of orbits. The Dogon people have drawings of this system that date back centuries. Modern scientists have only suspected the existence of Sirius B for 100 years or so and only just proved its existence in the last century. The Dogon people don’t even have glasses much less telescopes.
Although they have not been able to see it or even prove that it exists, astronomers now believe Sirius C exists.
The Dogon people believe that when we die here on Earth, human spirits return to Sirius C from where we came.
Ancient Sumerians have cuneiforms showing our Solar system with 10 planets. They knew we had 10 planets 6000 years ago. Astronomers just proved the existence of a 10th. planet in 2005. Now that alone is fantastic enough but it actually gets better. The Sumerians not only knew there were 10 planets in our Solar System but, they didn’t call the newly discovered Eris the 10th. Planet, they called it the first!
They say they learned about the Universe and our Solar system from the Annunaki who were ancient extraterrestrial visitors to our planet for the purpose of mining gold. The Annunaki counted our planets as they came into our Solar System not looking out from Earth.

Time cannot heal all wounds.

When my children Aron, my daughter and my son Eric, were growing up I tried to do as much as I could for them and with them because I really loved to be with them and also because I missed many things growing up due to my parents always having to work just to support us and put food on the table.
I took them both camping and fishing as often as I could and almost always when I went. We would fish and sit around the fire and we would shoot guns and just have fun acting like a bunch of knuckleheads.
To make sure they would have fun I would try to bring their cousins with us as much as possible so they would have other kids too play with as well.
After my daughter got older and became a young lady she thought getting dirty and touching worms and such was undignified and eventually stopped going with us. It was a little disappointing but I understood and realized she was just growing up.
My son Eric on the other hand was a boy and getting dirty and touching worms and occasionally eating one was all part of growing up. I was assured of having my buddy with me for a long time.

In 1996 I purchased a Harley Sporster and didn’t realize at the time how a Harley could change your life. Shortly after I got mine my friends also got one and then it was non-stop riding. Many times in the summer after work we would jump on our Harleys and go riding. Just about every weekend we would take off on one Harley run or another and sometimes be gone for 3 or 4 days at a time.
It was great fun – for me.
In the process of satisfying some inner desire or need for excitement or just selfish self indulgence, I forgot about my buddy.

Eric was a good guy, a great guy in fact and he patiently waited day after day and week after week and then month after month for his buddy to take him camping and fishing again, without saying a word. Eventually years would go by while he waited patiently for his dad to do stuff with him, always accepting the standard answer – “I can’t do it this weekend cuz I gotta go riding”.

I didn’t see him change, although it happened right in front of my eyes. When I stopped paling around with my son it broke his heart, he lost his best friend.

He was forced to find other friends to do stuff with and he did. He started drinking a lot and staying out late and skipping school and eventually started getting in trouble.

Eric was fourteen in 1996 and needed me to hang on tighter than ever. It was then - that I let him go.

It's Done

Today I was really stressed out about many things at work and in my personal life. I was driving myself insane with problems that while I may have created can absolutley do nothing about them now.
Well when I got home tonight I walked through the door took my sons hats and coats off the hooks in the entryway and took them upstairs to his old room and closed the door.
It's done!
If I put them back it will be me putting them back and not him.
I didn't think about it and I am not thinking about it now, only that I did it, but not how I feel about it.
I'm going to drink tonight and I will think about it tomorrow.

Hats and Coats and memories

Hats and coats hang around long after the memories fade.

Has it been a year already? Yes almost. It is time to take another shot at removing my son’s coats and hats from my front entryway and putting them away for good.
I tried to do this last year and it never happened. I cannot explain it but it is harder than it should be.

I see these things by my front door every single day and I tell myself to move them. I tell myself enough time has passed and it is time to stop reminding myself that he is gone.
But putting the last of his things away is rather like putting his memory away and it has become very difficult.

Before my son was killed he was working on a State Quarter collection and I took it on myself to finish his collection and I have just completed it. The last quarter is in place and the book is closed.

Now that another year has passed and his coats and hats are still hanging by the front door it has taken on a life of its own. It has now become this thing I must do before I lose my mind at the possible cost of losing my soul.

The other thing that occurs to me is writing about these things in this blog has become very therapeutic. Even though by the lack of comments it would appear that no one reads it. Still it feels like I am writing to the world and it feels like after I write it in this blog and release it to the world that it is somehow gone. I don’t write as much as I used too and after I deal with all my issues I may not have anything else to say.

FINNALY SOME GOOD NEWS!

FINNALY SOME GOOD NEWS!

EXCELLENT! Tom Daschle is out! YES!

The ONLY thing wrong with the above statement, the recent news; is that Tom took himself out of the running instead of being told he was a fucking liar and wasn’t qualified to do the job.

I would ask what the hell is wrong with our “leaders” but, I know the answer. They are all corrupt lying assholes that care about nothing and no one except themselves.

What about Timothy Geithner? You ask? Well, that proves the above statement.

There really is only two explanations for these two gentlemen NOT paying their taxes.

They are liars!
They are stupid.

Okay, so who do you want in charge of our government, liars or idiots?

These are very prestigious high level and high paying positions that many people would like to be considered for and many people are qualified for.

But the old cronies in Washington DC protect their own. They would rather install lying cheating assholes in high levels of our government than to ask too many questions because every fucking one of them is guilty of the exact same shit!

Revolution in this country is long overdue. Every politician in Washington DC and in most other State and Cities in this country need to be publicly humiliated tarred and feathered and then sent to Afghanistan and left to fend for themselves without hope of ever returning to this country that they have all dishonored.
