David Suzuki speaks about overpopulation

David Suzuki has always been a hero of mine for telling it as it is....this is a must watch...Warning: Will scare the SHIT out of you!!!

roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Now, you won't see no sad and teary eyes

When I get my wings and it's my time to fly

Call my friends and tell 'em

There's a party, come on by

Now just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

~ Willie Nelson

so…where has jim been?

As some of you may have noticed, my posts to FaceBook and Twitter have been far fewer than in the past. The reason for this is simple. I don't always have a short quip that is really worth a post on either of those Social media Sites.

There is also the fact that the people that I have on my Facebook are not necessarly the same people I have on Twitter. This was not done by design, just the way it worked out. These seperate feeds, makes it a bit of a challange to manage them.

I have also had this blog for sometime now and have been spotty at keeping it current as well. My intention when starting RandOM THoUGhts, was to use the blog as a place to comment about things I think about, comment on current events and to be the story teller that I have always been.

A little self-indulgent? Maybe. But I believe that this avenue for communication will provide those interested a little more insight to what is bouncing around this brain of mine, tell some of the stories I have to tell and maybe open some communication lines.

Imagine this as a "digital Campfire. By definition, "Campfire" is when people get together and share stories and experiences. This is my goal for this blog.

If you are so inclined, please leave a comment. I am interested in what your thought are as well.

Lets sit around the Campfire together.

Peace my friends, travel well on your journey...

Animal Scratch...

I always like to watch how wild life interacts in the forest, when they are just being themselves.

 

Something to watch, something to think about and something to act on...

It is time we all think about the damage to our environment if there ever were a spill in the Great Bear Forest region of BC.

Even being a strong Apple proponent, I found this ad disheartening as it shows people disengaging" from each other to be absorbed by their technology.. a sign of where we are heading..?

'via Blog this'

time to disconnect?

I love my devices and digital services, and I love being connected to the global mind hive....but....I am very much aware of the price that is paid: lack of depth, reduced accuracy, lower quality, impatience, selfishness and mental exhaustion, to name only a few. 

In choosing to digitally enhance our lives.....we risk not living them. 



the disconnect is coming…..
