After some strong but brief rain, the sun shine has decided to come out from behind those gray clouds. At 14:12pm and until now, the sun is bright enough to be seen through the blinds upstairs but not bright enough to blind since the double-paned vinyl windows help block out some ultra-violet radiation.

20100302-Rainy Day
The day has been rainy. The clouds are gray. The air is cool but not cold. At 15:44p.m., I heard not only Maw hollering from downstairs but the sound of a VERY strong storm lasting only a few moments over our neighborhood. I saw that the raindrops were and are still falling strong.

20100302-Random Thoughts
Last night while using the toilet, my creative mind came up with the following thoughts regarding the phrase: `I LOVE YOU`. Now mind you that I’ve entertained myself and kept busy during these difficult times of UNDER and UNEMPLOYMENT by reading articles online about conspiracy and other speculative conjectures, whatever those words mean.
Anyway, for those who like to play games, my mind saw the reflection of the words `I LOVE YOU` as `YOU EVIL EYE`! That means, loving you or anyone else is really (and more so in this reality) giving someone the evil eye.
The evil eye could be seen on top of the pyramid on the back of a one dollar bill. Some say that one eye represents `God`. I say it means the eye loves (or is good) as well as hates (or is bad). The ugly truth is that money ruins people’s lives.

20100301-Weathery Ways
The whole day has been gray and cloudy with some puffy ones in the distant westward hill of the Bay Area. The rains came and went to wet the ground.
The blossoms from the plum tree are small and white and have been falling to the cement below in our backyard.
The air was cold but not icy enough to make sniffling noses, except my usual throat-gagging, post-nasal drip while sitting in the pew to this morning’s mass.

20100301-Noticing Numbers
As usual and more frequently in the past few day, weeks, months and years, double digit kept appearing on the clocks and CA license plate numbers.
Today, I noticed that my recent uploads of .pdf files into a `Document` folder were all finished at 11:11p.m.!

20100228-Noticing Numbers
While reading the homepage to Yahoo! News and seeing the photo of a broken street and the headline about 708 deaths from the Chile earthquake , I let out a sigh. Then my computer monitor let out a soft pop. I looked up at the atomic clock and the time read 11:22p.m. The seconds were around :40. I see that double digit number of one (or eleven) and of two (or twenty-two) again!
Who are you? What are you? Hello!

20100228-Prayer Journal
After waiting mysteriously longer than usual for my favorite `Christian` website to load, here is the most recent `Evening Prayer` for Monday, March 1, 2010:
Angels bless and angels keep .
Angels guard me while I sleep.
Bless my heart and bless my home .
Bless my spirit as I roam .
Guide and guard me through the night
and wake me with the morning’s light.
Amen.— Anonymous

20100228-Closing Ceremonies
The three of us watched the `2010 Olympics Closing Ceremony`. I was rather pleased to learn about Canada of snow-filled landscapes beavers, moose, ice hockey and maple leaves and about its people, who say `Sorry` frequently: lumberjacks, mounted police and famous actors, like William Shatner, Catherine O’Hara and Michel J. Fox.
I liked the projections upon the circular screen above and upon the floor below; the hand off of the Olympic flag from the Mayor of Vancouver to the IOC President and then to the Russian; the touching speech by John Furlong, CEO of the Vancouver Organizing Committee; and of course the singers of the Russian National Anthem and the butterfly lady and ballad dancers.
However, I saw lots of stuff that is not mundane. First, the central theme of the stadium is the burning torches of five flames. That reminds me of a five-pointed star. The participants formed an eyeball in the middle of the stadium: the pupils are the five-flaming torches; the iris is circular and the out rim is ovoid in shape.
There were pixilated glitches for two Americans: One was the `Flying Tomato`, who was walking away after he said a few words and the other was the Lindsey Vonn, who was seated and looking up at the snow falling while Neil Young was singing.

20100228-Star Blazers
OMG! I just recalled a VERY old Japanese animated series on television during my childhood called: STAR BLAZERS! So I searched on the YouTube.com website and came across two versions of the introduction to the show – old and new, respectively:
- Star Blazers intro (english) by Oggmonster on October 10, 2006, 01:48 PM:
- Star Blazers Rebirth / Yamato Intro by wsexe1234 on November 08, 2009, 04:05 AM:
The former is hand drawn by cartoonist and obviously blurry. The latter is in high-definition and totally AWESOME! I love Japanese animations! YAY! DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!
Here are the opening lyrics to the former (or old) version of the animated cartoon show:
We’re off to outer space
We’re leaving Mother Earth
To save the human race
Our Star Blazers
—
Searching for a distant star
Heading off to Iscandar
Leaving all we love behind
Who knows what danger we’ll find?
—
We must be strong and brave
Our home we’ve got to save
If we don’t in just one year
Mother Earth will disappear
—
Fighting with the Gamilons
We won’t stop until we’ve won
Then we’ll return and when we arrive
The Earth will survive
With our Star Blazers

20100228-Humor Time
Out of sheer friggin’ boredom, I recall two of my favorite television commercials for Wendy’s – `Wendy’s® is the real choice in fast food. We deliver quality fresh food with real ingredients that provide the best tasting fast food at wendys.com.`
So I browsed the YouTube.com website and came across two parodies:
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up! by ddonq on November 15, 2008, 08:14 PM:
Wendy’s: Where’s the Beef? (2008 Parody of Original) by JamesVDeStefano on September 04, 2008, 09:01 PM
Enjoy! Haha!

20100228-Beautiful Day
Today is beautiful! The sun is shining and the skies are crispy, light blue in color. The air is cool but not warm enough to give our six, slightly stinky parakeets.
Early this morning and en route from the post office to McDonald’s via the south-bound on-ramp to Freeway 680, I saw one long chemtrail to my left, which is eastward. It appeared to cut from south San Jose towards and almost parallel to Mt. Hamilton.

20100228-Noticing Numbers
While Paw and Maw were still talking in bed together, I decided to mail off a piece of letter and then went to McDonald’s to buy some breakfast for the three of us.
At 7:47am, I ordered one `Big Breakfast`, one `Sausage Egg McMuffin`, one small decaffeinated coffee and one small regular coffee for the total amount of $11.09.
Then I went to my car and placed the items on the floor of the passenger seat. Prior to starting my car, I noticed the following numbers:
- 67,711 (odometer) and
- 422 (speedometer).
Notice the double digits for seven (or seventy-seven), one (or eleven) and two (or twenty-two)! Also notice the time of purchase looks like a number of a Boeing 747! Who are you? What are you? Hello!
I believe these events symbolize what I should have done more frequently in the past: Consideration of feeding loved ones – once in awhile. That is another lesson.
