Wet Wednesday
It rained today! Ordinarily, I might have been happy, but I had stored some of my boxes outside on my patio, and while I had protected them I still feared that they would get wet so I carried some back into the house so that the cardboard would not dissolve on me...and naturally, my pet kitten had to give me fits and starts by trying to get out into the rain and onto the patio at which he was most successful a couple of times. I found myself chasing him on the patio so when he found refuge from the rain under an overturned chair I grabbed him, and brought him back into the house, screaming, mad as a hornet at him for giving me grief when I am struggling with boxes, screen doors, and the sudden onslaught of raindrops...
He is a very good cat, and does stay on the ground. Had he ever decided to try to jump on the ledge, I would have a real problem so I muttered, o.k., if you do run away from home, (which he does not try to do) you will have to find your way back, and if you get lost, then I save $25. on you per month...As if he understands all this, but venting and letting off steam helped while I am cross as an old bear for the necessity of getting boxes indoors. A few I had to leave outside and they are reasonably safe, as the rain has finally departed, and I had had the wardrobe box covered with tarp to protect it from the sprinkling system...Wow! What a day! Drove me mad so that I am ready just to sleep and forget it all...onto another day to get more boxes packed...my goal is to have it all done by Monday of this next week.
In the meantime, everything else goes on hold...

Gifted Youngsters/Steve Berry
I learned about the trio called Il Volo through one of those ongoing spam type messages that gets passed from viewer to viewer. Mandy sent me this one, and I really am impressed with the quality of the young teenager's voices. There is just no doubt that there future is already set, preplanned, and ready to go. Enthralling to imagine what will become of them for future generations.
I hope to see them in person at some concert, buy a dvd, and even get a signed autograph if possible...What fun!
On that note, also speaking of signed autographs...just learned that Steve Berry will be back in Scottsdale, AZ on May 25 at the Poisoned Pen bookstore to sign his latest release Jefferson Key. This time I will buy the book and have him sign it for me too.
I am a fan of his, and really liked the novel The Emperor's Tomb. I learned more about eunuchs than I cared to know, but I found it quite fascinating to learn about the gas and oil industry as seen by Russians and Chinese alike.

Banana Boxes
I had never heard of banana boxes until I met Janice. She told me about them as she and her husband are helping me to move all my stuff from this apartment to the new apartment. So she brought me six banana boxes shortly before she left for Vegas and I learned why I should use this kind of box to pack my things in. First of all, it does not need any tape at all as the boxes have lids with openings to carry them. They are so cool it is unbelievable. So I promptly went to the grocer to try to get some more as six is only a small step for this giant leap and I found another group of boxes which are also made by Dole. This group is used to pack prepackaged salads and these also close in a way that does not require any strapping tape. I love them as they are a bit smaller than the banana boxes. Both are the best for packing and having uniformity in boxes to truck to the apartment.
So I used all six yesterday as well as all the smaller (7) Dole boxes and I burned myself out by working overtime that today I could do nothing but laundry, read Cat Amongst the Pigeons by Agatha Christie in four hours time, and then go back to the grocer to get more of the smaller boxes (10) and I brought them home to pack tomorrow. I was tired all day long and attribute it to either the weather, allergies, or the excessive amount of packing that I did yesterday.
Plus, the night before I was writing a chapter in my Alexander book in my head but did not want to get up to write it on the computer yet. It is about Philip and is through Alexander's recall of the incident that shows how violent and rough Philip can be on his soldiers who are under his command. Problem is that one should do it while one is thinking of it but it was so early in the morning that I did not want to open my computer at that hour.
Philip is a very hard-nosed leader who expects much from his soldiers, and if someone crossed the line, did not do as expected then he would suffer for it...I recall reading in one of these books, but unfortunately, have forgotten which author brought it up so I will now google it to see if I can find it anywhere...I am wondering who of the sources wrote about this incident...a young man in training was so insolent as not to wear the correct wearing apparel that Philip literally killed him for it..so I am trying to rewrite this as seen through Alexander's eyes...I was so wrapped up in it as I am visualizing this scene, and realizing how Alexander would see it...
So while reading Christie's books after learning that she is the most read author in the world following the Bible and one other book that I wondered why. She is not a very great author to be honest, and this book was utterly preposterous in plot and plausibility but because it is fiction it is accepted as such...her ending punch is unexpected I admit and I had to think about her real intent in this particular mystery, but it was interesting and compelling enough so that I read it through in one sitting...I found it in the laundry room and began it there...four hours later I finished it. Easy to read, obviously, but I was very critical of her style and her continuity. I always liked her though and still do, but am far more critical now.

American Idol Elimination
Oh yes, it is easy to be a bit cynical about the results of competitions such as American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. I really had thought that James was one of the best performers on the Idol show so was shocked to see that something caused him to be eliminated. It did make me think of Chris Daughtry too. These contests are often quite strange, and sometimes it may be better to lose it than to win it. Who hears of Tyler Hicks any more, or some of the others whose names I have forgotten. Only Carrie Underwood does seem to be authentic enough star performer to hold her own in the world of entertainment. It is a tough, cruel business.
But the above article on James Durbin was interesting enough for me to post it to recall why it is and how it is that these young entertainers are drawn to compete in show business ratings wars.
Idol changed this year from being extremely negative and cruel and rude to the young performers to becoming positive and supportive. I guess that getting rid of Simon Cowell and adding Jennifer Lopez did some good for the cause of entertainment this year. I like this Idol show much better than the previous years.
However, of the three contestants left standing, I am hoping that the unexpected won't happen again and that the really most fantastic entertainer will win this year's Idol role. I am just disappointed that James is not in the final two.

Moving Day
I am living in the worst of times...moving again. I have been packing, sorting, trying to decide which to keep, and which to throw away...I can not ever let go of some things for some silly reason, but this time I will part with a lot of paperwork from my teaching years. I kept a lot of stuff that I collected over time, but now I believe it will finally become a part of trash.
I just learned about the upcoming Alexander exhibition which will be held at the Louvre this coming fall through Christmas and New Years. I have every intention of going to Paris once again, but learning from the first experience I will change everything that I did in a week's time and hope for a longer visit as well.
Immediately, I have had to deal with social security again, and as I had gone through it earlier I cannot understand why I am having such a problem with this interviewer as I think she is plainly ridiculous in many ways. I will probably comment on this later.
For all my years of study, writing my own short stories, attempts at novels, and such, I have yet to try to publish any but one of them. I wrote a short novel about the youth of Alexander this past fall and have to return to rework it. I am not really ready for it to undergo the process of publication either. I have a lot more to do with it as it now stands. But this exhibition is interesting in its timing and I do intend to try to see it.
I have stated my experiences many times, and the one thing that happens with passing time is that like wet concrete, the certainty of having had the visual and audio experiences that I encountered in my personal soulsearching has become very cemented, hardened, and concrete to me. I believe in my inner knowledge and self awareness totally now...something that at first I was also wanting to know if it were true or not, but with the passing of time, the acquistion of knowledge of more facts, the more sure I have become.
It is not difficult for me any longer to understand that today and today's contacts, interpersonal relationships, etc. is far more important to dealing with the present time than any of the lives that I may have lived in the past, but the simple truth is that unlocking those lives helped me to better understand this time period and my current position in life amongst and with other people in our society.
Because of a situation that occurred at the Louis XIV discussion group I became aware that there may be people who actively do not want to consider that a soul can have lived previously in a different personna and role, and so I am well aware that this kind of experience probably should be kept to one's self.
However, for me, the joy of finding myself in a previous lifetime gave me great insights into the person whose body I was inhabiting at the time. It has become such a part of me that I understand well why each person should maintain and keep a personal journal for himself that only he alone can appreciate. Usually, that would mean the expression of intelligence that one has about a subject as well as the expression of emotions that engulfs one when having to deal with conflicts, surprises, pleasures, etc.
In other words to be honest with one's self, one should express one's own candid thoughts so that one can truly understand them. For example, I have been very angry ever since my dad attempted his act of suicide and the way my brother and dad handled my living arrangements. At present, I am having to move to keep costs down but also to have a one bedroom apartment instead of the studio which I have been dwelling in. My anger level is quite high, and my irritation level is such that minor annoyances can truly disturb me. It is quite easy to forget the time that I believed that God manifested himself to me in my one bedroom shortly after I visited St. Mary's church. At this point in time, all I can do is struggle to get through each day, as I am very tired most of the time, lacking sound sleep to let me feel truly rested, and I am grouchy and irritated as heck, and vengeful to say the least.
My cat both helps me and hurts me in the process. Yesterday, he was so sweet as he came up to me while I was halfawake early in the morning, and planted a sweet kiss right on my mouth and quickly jumped back to see what I would do. I was so touched by that that it stayed with me all day. This morning, he was misbehaving, clawing and scratching at the bedding which is a huge NONO and all day today, he has been bad boy getting into trouble with me. He actually found and opened the plug to the air mattress which is why I cannot let him claw and scratch on it.
But he is an important outlet for me. I have also found some good friends here at this apartment complex which has helped me a lot. Tonight three of us had dinner out to celebrate Lee's birthday. It was a very nice evening and went very well.
I learned that when one attempts to go back in time, one cannot ever know what one will experience in that moment. So if I ever return to this lifetime, I doubt that this moving period would be the occasion that I would remember, but I would know myself well enough to know that my emotional feelings would be such that I would recognize myself. I learned a few things that way from my having lived in ATG or Louis XIV. Because each man is so significant in World History, I became aware that others may think I have a narcissistic complex of some kind or other. Thanks to Horvallis and Alecker23 I learned of that. I am sure that there are those who would think that but that is their problem to consider, not mine.
I just know that I lived in a person whose records proved to me that that person had been Louis XIV, and that is true of Alexander as well but in a different way. His identity became known to me before I actually lived his life experiences as I had done.
But one moment at the Battle of Tyre proved to me that only I could have understood the me in Alexander then and the same me in today's life as we are equally one and the same in that respect, and it convinced me more than anything that I am the same then as I am now.
That is a great revelation, and I realize how much Alexander is misunderstood by people who do not understand him. It is amazing to look at one's self in that light and to realize the truth about yourself. Life gives us many different challenges and this lifetime is very similar in many ways but at a different level and place in life.
I can never quite describe fully the pleasure in reliving a moment in time, except that it is satisfying to know that one can have a recollection and can be able then to find evidence to prove that it did happen as I relived it. It makes these people very personally important to me, because otherwise, I would just toss them off as another name to know for a history lesson. Reliving them makes them more than just a name, an object, but they become truly people to me.
In the end, I have learned that they are myself manifested in a different time period, in a different body, and in a different role in life. The fact that they are world leaders did make me realize how preposterous it would sound to others, and I began to realize that soul is a mystery that only time helps to reveal, and that some are chosen for a specific purpose that is finally eventually realized.
Well, I must close...Just writing this helps me clear up a headache I have now and then...wrestling with the devil we call it at times, don't we?

Mother's Day 2011
Today I am cleaning out some of my old photographs and so came across several pictures of my mother at various ages in her life. I found a really beautiful photo of her when she was a young woman, probably in her early 20's. She had a really pretty face. It is odd how people change looks and appearances over time, and in all of that passage of time, if we spend time with our loved ones, and are close to them, we see them in many different images and postures. Unfortunately, age is not kind to any of us. We cannot fight it. We can try to work with it, but usually mother nature is cruel as my mother's entire body changed from one decade to another so that at the end of her life, she was very badly changed from the pretty young woman of her youth to the nearly totally crippled aged woman of her maturity.
It happens to all of us. Some who can afford it use body cosmetics, but most of us simply try to eat healthy diets, live right, and hope that nature will be kinder. My mother would often chide me with words such as "wait til it happens to you. You will see." I never truly liked that but now that I am having some aches and pains, I recall her words.
She was and will always remain in my heart as a wonderful and loving mother who gave more to her family than she did for herself. No matter how they look, it is the warmth and love that they gave us when young, when old, when needed that we can never forget. I remember my mother with much love and tenderness, and hopefully, she is in a state of peace and love dwelling now and we will someday find each other again.

part 2 of controversy
I do believe that this man and I had been communicating on the Louis XIV discussion group, but I can never be totally sure of that but I am of the opinion that he had written there under a pseudonym, and one reason that I believe that it is him is because of the offer he made to me, and then the occasion upon which I met him at the food court. I am almost totally convinced that the two are connected, but I can never prove it exactly except through some strange things that happened there after I wrote that I had met this stranger then, even though I identified him and also got into trouble with the owner/moderator for it. All the information that I placed there I believe was removed, as was also all the material that I had placed at MyDearDiary became lost when MDD closed down. I would write my daily thoughts as I was a bit befuddled about the entire thing at the time. The fact that the news media is being told that he carried phone numbers on him tells me a lot, as he had given me his phone number which I called, and that is very significant. I believe that i have that slip of paper yet.
I was very impressed with him. I liked him better after we got over the first hostilities that we both presented to each other. It was a very strange meeting but it was a very important one for me. I actually am pleased even now that I had the opportunity to talk with him first hand, and as his wife had said that one of his goals was to meet me (my other name being God) I am happy to say that he did do that. I knew from what he said to me that he knows a lot about me. I am also very aware that I believe most of the media that surrounds me is well aware of all this too.
As I said in an earlier post, I had thought that he had been a part of a previous lifetime in the Louis XIV period. I thought of him as Louis XIV's superintendent of buildings, Louvois. It came to me while we were talking, and a picture of him in Afghanistan which was broadcast over and over is something that he did when we went into Nordstrom's. It is also something that is right out of the pages of Louis XIV and Louvois as Louvois is described as doing something exactly similar to that. For that reason alone, I was always intrigued about him.
I also knew that he was on the video tape which Nordstrom's has at the checkout counter. I even went back to see that there is a camera there. He had been checking for cameras on the ceiling as well I believe.
Every word that he said to me when he called me one evening came back on the NBC television show Fraser on their last show. They got it all verbatim.
I don't mind being the good old days! G.O.D.
Big Brother is watching all the time...and I am always careful about what I say...tata.

News of Controversy
I wrote about my meeting this dark stranger in Fashion Square's Food Court years ago, and also discussed it with many of my friends, at the time, being a bit naive about its true importance.
Number 1, I have gone through many tragedies during my life in this country, and they seem to come fairly regularly anymore so that after a while one becomes a bit immune to them, as they all seem pretty much alike, whether manmade or natural. The shock wears off and soon a kind of weariness sets in.
We had Waco wacko with the David Koresh crowd, Oklahoma city with the Tim McVeigh story, and so many natural hurricanes, tornados,and other similar senseless destructive acts that soon it all becomes a bit mundane and too usual to even raise an eyebrow any more.
So when NYCity and the World Trade Center went down in smoke and ash, the only really shocking thing was to see two high structures instantly collapse in front of your eyes.
The drama of the airplanes was one thing but the aftermath an other.
So when a few months after it all happened, I spotted a man walking through the food court, mistaking him for a French presentateur who I had watched on France2, when I finally learned his real identity I was in a state of surprise and wonder. I am still amazed about it, but one thing I knew for sure, is that all the propaganda about him is totally false.
Eventually, after a few months, I did report this episode to the White House, and to the FBI, in a strange way, and also to a local policeman. It is hard to know if they ever really believed any of it or not, but I did my best to convince them of what had happened, and how it came about.
Now that he is caught and killed, and I am reading CBSNews confirming some things that I knew about him, even believing that he could be hiding in Mexico or in the USA, as a rich man, I am happy at last that the news media is admitting that all the stories about him were just so much political hogwash.
I will come back to this later as I have to pause now and think again. I am considering now writing to the FBI to see if my report merits any part of the reward. After all, I did help them as much as I could.
Number 1, I have gone through many tragedies during my life in this country, and they seem to come fairly regularly anymore so that after a while one becomes a bit immune to them, as they all seem pretty much alike, whether manmade or natural. The shock wears off and soon a kind of weariness sets in.
We had Waco wacko with the David Koresh crowd, Oklahoma city with the Tim McVeigh story, and so many natural hurricanes, tornados,and other similar senseless destructive acts that soon it all becomes a bit mundane and too usual to even raise an eyebrow any more.
So when NYCity and the World Trade Center went down in smoke and ash, the only really shocking thing was to see two high structures instantly collapse in front of your eyes.
The drama of the airplanes was one thing but the aftermath an other.
So when a few months after it all happened, I spotted a man walking through the food court, mistaking him for a French presentateur who I had watched on France2, when I finally learned his real identity I was in a state of surprise and wonder. I am still amazed about it, but one thing I knew for sure, is that all the propaganda about him is totally false.

Kentucky Derby
No, I thought about Animal Farm, but I did not bet it and so do not collect on this 137th anniversary of the founding of the Kentucky Derby. Maybe I will do better at the Preakness which will be in two weeks. I stayed in my usual conservative self so that I did not go bust and have enough left to play the Preakness.
I went to Upper Deck sports bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere, the huge screen, and the real Michigan coney island dog. It had been flown in especially so I had to have one as I remember those with relish. It was super good too. And the owner of the place, an alumnus of MSU, also was there, and I finally learned who he is.
I did not attempt to make myself known to him even though I was obvious to everyone who walked into the place. I just remained quiet, and had to have some guy help me at the ticket dispenser, a sure sign then that I should have saved my money after all. I guess I should think about these things now and then.
Video of Derby race will accompany this if it is at youtube. Good race! I just was surprised to see all the outside horses come up first four...amazing. 16, 19, 14, 13 I guess it went. And Master of Hounds did come in fifth. So the Super HI Five would have had to include him to win...what a story...His number was 11. All double digits in top 5. Can't believe it!

Wives of Osama bin Laden blog
I just read the story about bin Laden's wives and son Omar so wanted to post it at this blogspot while I briefly describe my interest in the subject.
There is a lot of suspicion worldwide about whether or not this body that was dumped into the sea with some ceremony is actually that of bin Laden. It has become a joke nearly worldwide about whether bin Laden was killed years ago, died of natural causes, kidney failure, or was actually able to hide out in plain view as they are calling it in a compound in Pakistan.
It is harder to believe than if someone suddenly would come out and announce that they know exactly where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
So the subject of the wives is very important, as there is little doubt that the wife should know whether or not this man was truly Osama or not.
More interesting than anything else about this perplexing story is the public reaction to it. Americans appear to be gleeful, thankful, and believers in the story. Other nations who are publicly stating their opinions are not so easily persuaded that this is Osama bin Laden at all, and most doubt the American story.
Many questions have to be raised about this man who was quickly buried while the capture of Saddam Hussein saw him being paraded around, kept alive, and humiliated in many ways. His hanging was made public knowledge so it seems that the photo of Obama should also be seen and made evident to a disbelieving public.
I wrote up a story on this blogger some time ago about meeting a man in the local foodcourt of a shopping center. This man will remain known as Omar for this blogger's privacy and sanity.
The conversation is reminiscent of a conversation in the movie Network. When I saw a dvd of the movie it startled me to see the similarities between the earlier film and this later meeting.
So for that reason I will use that pair in the movie portrayed by William Holden and Faye Dunaway to make my statement.
As I am a believer in reincarnation now I was convinced that this man was someone I had known in a pastlife and I was even further convinced that I had been talking to him via Yahoo discussion groups for some time. I even mentioned it at that group which in fact caused some consternation there.
I am still convinced that he had been a member there and that is probably how I came to meet him.
I have spoken of this elsewhere at the time as I had grave doubts, was a bit of a doubter, but soon became convinced that this man was for real.
All this is relevant to the ongoing case so I will just say that because of the USA Today article, an ongoing play here in town, and an incident in my life where I met a person of significance who called himself Murray or Murree, (Marie) I was a bit startled to see the name Murree Road in the New York Times identifying the road near the compound.
I see a definite connection from a time I spent in Washington, D.C. to this latest operation in territory of Pakistan which makes me wonder. I have many more things to say but the name of the road coupled with the person who called himself Murray or Marie makes me suspicious of this entire episode.
While I am writing this to recall for myself, I have to talk in oblique terms, but in fact I see a direct connection between white Lincoln and this operation. Yes, bin Laden did prefer to drive a Mercedes. Of that I am absolutely certain.

Osama bin Laden pronounced dead by Barack Obama
It is so easy to get the two confused: Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama...a lot of bs is what I think.
But tonight we are told by the White House that Osama bin Laden is officially caught, killed, and body recovered. Since there was a fire, was bin Laden in or out of the fire? Was his body burned? How readily identifiable is it?
These are questions which I would like to have answered before I jump to conclusions.
He has been pronounced dead so many times before now it is time that the USA finally declares him dead. Is this fact or fiction? None of us can trust a government official any longer to tell the truth.
Or like the man landing on the moon story, is this just another piece of Hollywood fluffstuff designed to fool and mislead.
Let us see the pictures of the corpse. I want to see visible evidence that this is truly bin Laden, not a double.
