This week I will be starting my garden, but wait the snow is still on the ground! Well I made myself a promise to grow everything from seed this year, and so the tomatoes get started now and soon a few others. When I moved back into the family home I decided at the last minuet to grow a garden. It was a trial and error kind of thing as I had never really grown one before. I had pretty good success and we lived off of it for a few months. Being a vegan motivated me to get into this and it has consumed me.
But now after reading and experiencing this wonderful pastime I'm prepared to really do well this year. I have my worms cranking out the compost, and will be starting an outdoor compost pile as soon as it warms up. I've decided to raise all my beds and grid them out as in "Square Foot Gardening"(Google it) and have everything going vertical rather then all over the place. Growing food has to be the most rewarding thing you can do, and with all the help on line it is far easier then ever to do this.
We only have 3 in the house but I plan to grow for 10. At last the local food bank will now accept fresh produce. I want to give back and giving this kind of food makes me feel real warm and fuzzy. Please check with your own local food bank to see if they to will accept fresh produce. People living on this kind of help do not get the nutrition they need, as they end up with dry goods to eat. Getting good nutrition to these people in need is vital. So if like me, you are growing a successful and large garden, please share it with those that need.
I thank you! Miles

The end of an era
The first time I openly weeped at the passing of a legend was when Steve Jobs died. the only other time I felt like that was when my mother passed, and who doesn't feel that way when your mom goes! But I still feel that way, He was like one of the last rebels, a holdover from "the in your face" 70's movements that were happening then. He made me giggle, because he just didn't care what anyone thought. There were so many like that back then, Bob Dylan, John Lennon to name just a few.
But who are like that today? Who can I follow and laugh with, who are the mavericks of today. No, I really miss him as he was one of the last, everyone else is too political, too concerned about saying the right things, not stepping on toes. I've even mellowed the last few years, kids will do that to you, but even that didn't deter these great revolutionists.
No I think it's the end of an era where all these great people have gone, and no one to replace them.

Women's Day, 2013
I had to Google this to be sure it was the right day, as there was only one or two pieces in my news feed about this most important day. One suggested that the world was ready for women to lead, as they have now shown the ability to do so. Really? Finely?
It baffles me as to how far men are willing to go to stop women from being equal. There is so much work that needs to be done to enshrine their rights. Half of the world is Muslim where being a women is a lower ranking then a camel. Then there are the churches, if you read my last piece you know how I feel on this one. So are men saying women are not fit to talk to god? Or to lead a congregation? This is the main reason I do not like religion, they are ALL hypocrites in that the men reserve the power for themselves. As a man I feel shame in this, that the very thing we need to live and continue our existence is treated with so little class. Because men are larger and stronger physically they treat women like, well like shit! This has to stop, men need to get over themselves, join and nourish this very important relationship.
Do we really want to save the planet? Do we really want to be the superior beings we are pretending to be? Then let women run things, they have a better touch on sensitive issues. It's for certain men do not. All men are doing is making things worse, they continue to rape this planet like they treat women," it's mine and I will do as I please with it." Men are barbarians most of the time. If you live in North America the biggest events are fuelled with alcohol and sport teams that are trying to mane the opposition. This draws more interest then the fact the planet is overwarming due to mens inability to see the damage they are doing. Get me a beer honey, the second half is about to start. Little do they know that the second half is already well on the way!
Happy Women's Day

Legalize Everything
Logic would suggest that if we could have anything we wanted, we would want was not available. To have what everyone else has is to be so yesterday, no they want Shark Fin soup, because so few can actually get this, or Elephant ivory because that to is hard to get. If drugs were in our supermarkets like coke, pot, LSD and the like would we abuse them? I don't think so but for sure we would use them. Here kid, smoke this and then you will eat more, or snort this and you will eat less. haha
But really, it's like the keystone cops out there when it comes to drugs. There is no way that they will make any headway in this war. And really, who are these people that tell us what we can or cannot have. Legalize it all, and this world would be a far safer place with a whole lot less criminals dealing in this stuff. Not to mention the money that would pour into the government pockets as well as the savings from law enforcement.
It is likely we would need a few more hospitals to cope with the bad trips, but then at least professionals would be helping instead of some backyard hack with an adrenaline needle. The people that keep these things illegal are nothing but a bunch of nosey do gooders trying to enforce their view of what is right. I would bet each and every one of these people would but catnip for their cats. And we all know that no one knows the answer to what is right, but insist they do.
Nope, I think we need to legalize everything.
7 billion, stoned out and counting, or at least trying to. lol

The Catholic Church
First off I want to wish the retiring Pope the best and hope he gets to enjoy his final years alive on this planet. Because I'm sure he was not enjoying running the church anymore. For many years all these guys had to do was travel around and let people kiss their hands, say a few words to the thousands that came and go to the next gig. Truly, the Pope was a rock star long before there were rock stars. So what happened?
The answer is so simple it just "slaps you in the face" when you see it. Women are the problem, the answer, and the solution. First, if the priests could marry, little boys would be not abused, second, if women were in decision making places these priests that did do this would be hung by their you know what!! How can these men think that what they are doing is going to get any message out there?
No I think not many Cardinals want this job anymore, and if they do they will be too old like the last one and not have the insight or stamina to do what is needed.
It is so "ironic" that this church would rebound and be so popular if they let"women be equal" and participate it's scary. But like most men, they think they know best, no wonder priests don't get married! Can you imagine the arguments and torture that would ensue. lolol

It's a Movie
Darwin was the first, but lately I think we are getting closer to what it's all about. I can't help but wonder who is in control of the switches.
Evolution is a funny thing, mutations happen but they are baffeling as to why or what controls them. Are we all in a reality show with one team against another? Or is it a movie with no end? There are many times I see it all with an "LSD"mindset, like it's all a Python kind of thing. Are our genes just software code? Many times in my life I have felt this, that we are being manipulated to no purpose but some ones entertainment. People who make you laugh are the biggest stars, because in the end laughing at ourselves is the only thing that really feels good, besides sex of coarse!
7 billion getting off, and counting

Being Vegan
Of all the things we talk about, what we eat is something a bit more disturbing to many then the warming of the planet. I have a theory that if we were to stop eating meat, many men would feel unwanted or not needed. After all many of us use the term"bringing home the bacon" and well what would we bring home if we stopped eating it?
I've often wondered if we started eating meat because men were showing off to the women what they could do for them, and the women obliged us so not to hurt our feelings. Because really, we do not need to eat dead animals.
Another thing occurred to me, we don't plant vegetable gardens because so many put a low priority on eating them. They know they can't raise animals in the backyard so do not think of growing veggies. Instead they grow grass, another thing the women oblige us on so not to hurt our ego's. "look honey at the beautiful grass I grew". Yep we the man for sure! How it became so fashionable to have a green lawn is beyond me, maybe if the women stopped being so obliging we would stop doing these stupid things, and get more resourceful with the property we own. Grow some food, and you will fell better about yourself and the planet.
