National Prayer Day and counting.

  This could go on forever. I would suggest those interested in this never-ending debacle, find and watch the Christopher Hitchens and Tony Blair 90 minute debate in Toronto, November 2010. Look for Christopher Hitchens and Tony Blair, BBC News and Munk Debate, "Be it resolved religion is a force for good in the world." If you know the Hitch, you'll know what side he's on. I won't give the winner of the debate away.

 Kimo, those that prey together, stay together. Don'cha get it? I don't think us non believers do the wish trip. Anyway, I don't bow my head or shut my eyes. I commune with others in the flock. 

 Also interested in Arthur Hernandez statement, "I heard many people who elevated themselves in a very high level in the tree of knowledge..." Isn't that a slap in the face? According to the Garden of Eden story, the head honcho forbid Adam and Eve from eating thereof. The tree of knowledge? Interesting metaphor. 

 Me, as a devout non believer, I munch on the leaves of reason. I just heard from Jim Jung, spoke with Monroe Richman, and love Kimo. May the world be filled with more and more human beings like them. Like me, too?

"Money is not everything..." 'Obama Da Dog' (Source)

Obama Da Dog is a life long resident of Hawai'i. Obama
is the special needs daughter of columnist and blogger
James "Kimo" Rosen. They both reside in Kapa'a town.


 Money is not everything

 SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

 The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

 DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"

 SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."

 The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

 DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"

 SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

 "Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

 Some things are more important.

My thoughts on Tom Brady..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen' (Breaking News blog!)

Breaking News!
 NFL Quarterback of the  New England Patriots Tom Brady Suspended for 4 games;

My thoughts on Tom Brady. Innocent until proven guilty. Otherwise it's nothing more than a witch hunt. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the players association stood behind him. It's the referees responsibility to fine cheating, such as in off-sides, illegal procedures roughing the passer, kicker etc. Every player that has ever been penalized has cheated. Every player would go offside and rough the passer if they weren't called for it.With all said, I am not a New England fan, just a fan of justice.
Hall of fame wide receiver used stickum on his gloves and was never fined or suspended. 
What's your take on this?
