Why? Because No One Stopped Me

People often ask the question why? Why did this happen? Why did he/she do, or not do this? Why does this keep happening? Why doesn't this keep happening?, etc. Great questions! Perhaps this tale can shed some light on the answers.


Many, many years ago in the dawn of wisdom of humanity stood the Great Pyramids in Egypt in all of their glory and power. However, one thing was missing: a king. Years before, the king had lost his wife and child during birth. He was heartbroken and sad. Not long after their death, he died as well. He had not appointed his successor and with no children, the throne stood empty.

One day from out of the desert, a man appeared riding his camel. He rode into the city and ended up in front of the great pyramid. He dismounted from his camel and walked into the pyramid. He led his camel and stepped into the throne room where he saw the empty throne. He looked around and saw that no one was around. He stepped up to the throne and sat down. Suddenly, two guards appeared in the room. They stepped up to the man. One guard asked the man: "Who are you? Why did you sit on the throne?"

He replied, "Why? Because no one stopped me! I am your new king, now bow before me!"

His camel laughed!

The Golden Donkey

One day, a man decided to move, so he packed up all of his belongings. His most valuable possessions were bars of gold which he placed into a sack on the back of his Donkey Dumbass. He and Dumbass began the journey to their new home. Along the way, they passed through a very steep valley. Near the top of the valley, the man lost his balance and fell to his death. Dumbass was left all alone with the gold on his back. He wandered around for a while finding no one. Finally, he walked down to the bottom of the valley where he found a pack of wild donkeys that were very skinny and dirty. The donkeys were eating grass and standing around. They spoke about Dumbass amongst themselves: "Look he seems well fed, what's he doing down here in our valley? Doesn't he know that he has a shinny load of gold on his back? He doesn't know he's a golden donkey and he's here in this useless valley with us mules? The poor golden donkey, he doesn't know where he belongs."

Ask yourself: Am I a wild donkey eating grass, or am I donkey carrying gold?

Innerpower
A poor homeless woman walked down to the stream to fetch some water, something she often did. She filled her bucket with water, and then splashed her face. She looked down into the stream and saw something shinning under the water. She put her hands into the stream, grabbed the object and pulled it out of the water. In her hands was a large precious stone. She looked at it, placed it inside her nap sack and sat next to the stream. Out of the nearby woods appeared a man. He approached the stream and drank from it. He stepped over to the woman and asked: "Please, I've been here in the woods for days starving. Do you have anything I can eat?"

She reached into her nap sack and pulled out a piece of bread. While the bag was open, the man got a glimpse of the stone. After she handed him the bread, he thanked her and ate it. He then stood in front of her and said: "Now I want you to give me the jewel inside your bag!"

She looked at him with confusion and handed the stone to him. The man took the stone and walked off into the distance.

Days later, the woman was once again fetching a bucket of water at the stream. Suddenly out of the woods appeared the same man. He approached her. She said to him: "What do you want? I have nothing left, you took it all away from me!"

"Here is your stone, I don't want it," he said.

"I have nothing else, what do you want from me. I'm a poor woman, I have nothing else," she said.

He looked at her and said: "No, you have so many things to give me, especially that great power inside of you that allowed you to give me the only precious thing you have."

Wisdom -The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight.

You have to hear wisdom, to know what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's bad. If you can't hear it then you will destroy yourself and those around you. Listen, do you hear it?

Do You See The Hump On Your Back?


Two camels, Aftar and Nazir, stood in the middle of the desert under the blaring sun.


Aftar looked over at Nazir and began to laugh. Nazir looked at him with confusion and asked, "What's so funny?"


Aftar continued to laugh, so hard that he couldn't answer. Nazir asked, "Why are you laughing?"


Aftar smiled and looked at Nazir. "Look at the hump on your back!" he said as he burst back into laughter.


Nazir looked at Aftar with confusion and said, "Look at the hump on my back? Look at the hump on your back!"


The moral of the story is: don't judge and point at others until you first take a look at yourself. Hypocrisy has no bounds. Do you see the hump on your back?

Love, Respect and APPRECIATE Yourself (May 12')

There's nothing more tragic than a person whom doesn't value, respect and love themself. They decide to give themself in one way shape or form to another. Often it's to someone whom doesn't deserve them at all, the wrong person. In many relationships there's a leader and a follower, and a winner and a loser. Being with someone isn't always about you or about the other. It's about the relationship as a whole together. Ask yourself, "Do I want to take advantage of life and the time given to me and do what I can what I deserve, with someone who treats me with respect, someone I deserve? We deserve being with each other, together?"

We were created with a mind, soul and body; animals also have bodies. Do you know what separates us from them? We have a conscious and are aware of our existence, or are we? Are you?

Questions I've asked myself: "Do I want to be an animal and think low, below the waist? Engaged with just intimacy, etc.? Or do I want to elevate my thoughts and be human, thinking above my waste using my mind and soul, not only my body?"

It's nice when two people become one, but isn't there something more to being with someone? You can't be intimate all the time. Can't we be with someone who has something more to offer? Ask yourself,  "What am I worth? What's the value of me?"

I'm far from perfect, no one is perfect. Life isn't always easy and we all make mistakes. That doesn't mean you and I can't make an effort to be with someone whom raises you up, not brings you down. The saying is true misery does love company. True happiness is the love and company with the right person, in the right place, on the right time.Who's company do you want to keep?

I don't pretend to have the answers, but it's a great thing to ask these questions. When you have the opportunity, the blessing and privilege to be a part of something great, a relationship you may deserve, will you take the chance and feed your soul and heart or crawl back to the lower existence?

I suppose my thoughts on romance are a bit old fashion, but believe it or not, there are some true romantics and I AM one of them.

Reasons To Love Redheads (Dec. 11')

In September 2011, Cryos International, one of the world's largest sperm banks, announced that it would no longer accept donations from red-haired men due to low demand from women seeking artificial insemination. I shall have to retort with: Many Reasons to Love Redheads.

The most common color of hair is brown, which is nice, but it is quite ordinary. Who really wants ordinary? Genuine beauty is in something unique and truly special. The rarest natural color of human hair in the world is Red. Red hair occurs on approximately 1–2% of the human population. Why settle for ordinary when redheads are extraordinary?

One must wonder what exactly causes red hair? Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein. A  mutation? That's fantastic, this means redheads should be new members of the X Men.

Redheads have been in existence for quite some time. The term redhead (originally redd hede) has been in use since at least 1510. It is associated with fair skin color, lighter eye colors (gray, blue, green, and hazel), freckles, and sensitivity to ultraviolet light. Green eyes are the rarest color of eyes in the world, red hair is the rarest color of hair in the world. This means red hair and green eyes is the rarest combination in the world.

Fair skin with lighter colored eyes, beautiful! A white canvas painted with spots of vibrant colors, accented with freckles, just lovely!

Reactions to this combination weren't always pleasant. During the Middle Ages Montague Summers, in his translation of the Malleus Maleficarum, notes that red hair and green eyes were thought to be the sign of a witch, a werewolf or a vampire;Those whose hair is red, of a certain peculiar shade, are unmistakably vampires. It is significant that in ancient Egypt, as Manetho tells us, human sacrifices were offered at the grave of Osiris, and the victims were red-haired men who were burned, their ashes being scattered far and wide by winnowing-fans. It is held by some authorities that this was done to fertilize the fields and produce a bounteous harvest, red-hair symbolizing the golden wealth of the corn. But these men were called Typhonians, and were representatives not of Osiris but of his evil rival Typhon, whose hair was red.

If that's the case then who wouldn't be happy to have those fangs driven into their neck?

Reactions to redhards have varied from ridicule to admiration; many common stereotypes exist regarding redheads and they are often portrayed as fiery-tempered. Many painters have exhibited a fascination with red hair. The color "titian" takes its name from Titian, who often painted women with red hair. Early Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli's famous painting The Birth of Venus depicts the mythological goddess Venus as a redhead.

Other painters notable for their redheads include the Pre-Raphaelites, Edmund Leighton, Modigliani and Gustav Klimt.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story The Red-Headed League involves a man who is asked to become a member of a mysterious group of red-headed people.

Great leaders through history have also been blessed with red hair. This includes one of England's most famous leaders Queen Elizabeth whom built England into one of its greatest periods called The Golden Age. Cleopatra VII's reign is one of the most famous in Egypt's history. Her legend still lives on!

Many mediums have featured redheads including film and television. The 1943 film DuBarry Was a Lady featured red-heads Lucille Ball and Red Skelton in Technicolor. The Red Shoes stars Moira Shearer. Other red-haired actors: Katharine Hepburn, Rhonda Fleming, Julianne Moore, Maureen O'Hara, Debra Messing, Ann Margaret, Arlene Dahl (a beautiful green-eyed redhead who starred in numerous MGM films and TV roles), Billie Burke (best known for her role in the 1939 movie musical "The Wizard of Oz" as the powerful redheaded sorceress "Glinda” the Good Witch of the North), Ron Howard, Bryce Dallas Howard (actress and daughter of director Ron Howard),  Carol Burnett (actress, singer, dancer, writer, comedian), Deborah Kerr (Scottish-born actress with numerous roles in movies, stage, and TV, best known for her portrayal as the governess Anna in the film musical ’The King and I’ with Yul Brynner), and the bad girl Linsay Lohan.

Red haired beauties whom are blessed with angelic voices include: Shirley Manson, Lana Del Ray and Geri Haliwell (she may not be a natural redhead but everyone loves Ginger Spice).

The fashion industry has also filled its ranks with porcelain skinned, red haired, freckled beauties; this includes: Cintia Dicker, Angelica Bridges, and Lily Cole.

The Adult Entertainment Industry even has its own stars whom are blessed  with red hair. Most of them they are blessed with a burning bush so yes the carpet matches the drapes! These fierce haired beauties are forces to be reckoned with: Tara Monroe, Nikki Rhodes, Pason, Scarlett Keegan, Heather Caroline, Aimee Sweet, Justine Joli (although she's not a natural redhead she wears it like no other).

People whom appreciate this beauty so passionately that they celebrate it annually. Redhead day is the name of a Dutch festival that takes place annually on the first weekend of September in the city of Breda, the Netherlands. The two-day festival is a gathering of people with natural red hair, but is also focused on art related to the color red. Activities during the festival include lectures, workshops and demonstrations. Another devotion to redheads is the site redheads.tumblr.com

The greatest thing to posses is a great and wonderful spirit. But the rarity is to possess a great spirit and red hair, a real treasure!

For those angels whom are blessed with red hair I leave you with this: Think about whom you allow to water your garden and allow it to grow. Don't let this angelic beauty go silent into the night, instead let them burn bright! Let future generations see their beauty.

Out of the ash

I rise with my red hair

And I eat men like air.
