Description: Present Moments of Every Day Life

Reading two books that relate to each other. One was written about how a teenage boy saw and experienced one of history's worst dictator. The other talks about the end of days which is a constant topic of interest to many people these days.

Night - The author talks about his personal ordeal and the insight of how and what happened. He describes the peoples' reaction during every day life. It was hard for me to read the part about how cruel and desensitized Hitler's army was and knowing that some who followed his ideology are still the same, heartless.

End of Days - The author talks about history - past predictions, biblical, and that many people talk about and discuss what will happen and what has happened.

The similarities are:

1. People told of events that were happening in other areas and people didn't believe. Life went on as normal.

2. People had visions of what was happening. They were called mad.

3. People became police. Even though they had other occupations. They were the eyes and ears.

4. Those who were in the army of a country were replaced with look alikes to round up the targeted people. The process to keep order. The enemy within.

5. People believed in God and that was tested. Different religions, not just the jews. To see if their Savior would come and save them.

6. People believed the lie that they'd be working like the others and reality hit when they realized the stories they were told were true about how people were being eliminated.

Reading End of Days the author tells of many who believe we are in the End of Days experiencing some of the biblical prophecies. We are experiencing unusual weather patterns. The earth is vibrating more than usual and soon we'll experience the earthquakes in unusual places. What the earth will release could end millions of living creatures including man.

We are always talking about war and fighting constantly. Many events happening at the same time. Why aren't we all looking at why there is so much tremors around the ridges and the ring of fire? Do we have to experience the loss of an island of people before we believe. What is happening in the Pacific Ocean touches every nation.

Chapter 11

Posted on Aug 15, 2008 2:12 PM

When placed in the gym bag the assistant said, "Since you can't see, you wont cry because it is dark." "Here on top is a towel."

That was the last thing the little four year old girl heard until! She heard talking and she was being carried somewhere. The student who asked about the children was talking to his friend. When the student put down the gym bag he opened it and took out the towel. He saw the little four year old girl from the professor's room.

He picked her up and said "Just listen to my voice." "Catch the tie." "Catch anything!" All the little four year old girl said "My friend is in the other bag and he's hurt." The professor then said "It's your turn."

The professor then cut the duck tape because the little girl could hear the scissors. The student didn't realize the little girl could see under the kerchief which covered her eyes. What happened next was that the student started swinging the little girl over fast moving water that dropped off.

The little girl listened and grabbed the student's watch because she could feel it when he swung her by her feet. He had kept both arms out and the little girl never let go of the watch or his arm. And wont let go. Her best friend was suppose to be next only the student's friend was holding him and he was told to let go of the student's neck and her best friend wouldn't.

The two students ran each carrying the little girl and her best friend. They were lost and they all could hear the other students running after them. They never took the blindfold's off the little girl or her best friend until they reached safety. That's when they took off the blindfold and realized it was another friend's son and his best friend the little girl. All they had was a candy bar and chocolate and the four of them ate little bits and got lost for awhile.

The name of the little girl's angel was MG and her best friend's angel DC. DC fell in mud and got stung by bees on his leg. He said "They wont believe us." "It'll be his word against us and they'll believe the professor." "I won't have to worry about which leg to limp on for the movie any more."

MG said "I guess they'll never ask me to sing at the church again."

The two students never went back to the professor's room but to the little girl's best friend's home.

There were police waiting. The little girl's mom, dad and brother were there also along with her best friend's father, soon to be mother and his grandfather.

Chapter 10

Posted on Aug 13, 2008 6:38 AM

The little four year old girl fell asleep again and was awoken when the lady in silk stockings pulled her out from under the desk and took the duck tape off and put the little girl's hands in front of her. She said "I know you wont yell because you know I'll do it to you beat you up like your brother."

The little girl was so scared. She wasn't even related to her best friend. The lady in silk stockings never even really asked the little girl if it was true. The lady in silk stockings then took the kerchief that was tied around the little girl's mouth and placed it over the little girl's eyes and tied the little girl's hands in front. The little girl and her best friend now sat out in the open of the room.

The little girl could hear the students enter the room. They were told that dinner was being served in the tea room and that they weren't to go home or to their dorms. Their test was that evening. One of the students' asked "How come the kids were blindfolded and sitting on the floor?" The professor said "It was their test, they have to listen."

The student did not question any further and then went for dinner with the rest.

The assistant and the professor's son then was told to put the children each in a gym bag.

(Writing in a blog is easier to let my mind just flow and empty out. which is priceless. Sanity)

Chapter 9

Posted on Aug 11, 2008 5:25 PM

There was an assistant teacher and the older professor and the younger professor and his young son now in the room. They were talking about the twelve year old girl, that she too had stopped breathing. The little four year old girl had woke up under the desk and so did her best friend. All she could see were his eyes and his eyes were without any light. They both knew that they wouldn't see their families again.

They didn't cry or make any noise. They just stared at each other. Then assistant teacher was told not to worry. He'll make sure one of the other older boys gets blamed. All this because she let the three children in to play with the toy they found thought the little girl under the desk. The twelve year old girl never heard all that the adults were talking about.

Someone knocked at the door. It was one of the students from the main classroom. He was bringing in some more tea and tea biscuits for the professors. He was told to put it down. And that they were going to do a test that night so he was to tell the selected few from the names he gave him.

The students didn't know that the professor didn't like it that they didn't show up or sent a replacement. So those names that he gave were not allowed to leave the tea room. The student did what he was told and then brought back three gym bags.

The student then went back to the tea room and the professor's son took the soon to be step brother from the chair and another knock came at the door. A student entered and started talking with the professor. When the young professor asked if this child was okay because this student was studying to be a doctor. The student said "he wasn't the student and that he wanted to see the lecture of the famous professor." The professor never paid any attention and he told him to see. The student said that he was barely breathing. The professor said "I'll get him to the hospital where there is a real doctor." The student left.

Chapter 8

The little girl was then duck taped with her hands behind her back and a kerchief over her mouth. She could still see what was happening in the room and placed under the desk. Her best friend after he was beaten never cried because they said "If you cry we'll do what we did to your friend." The grownups never knew that the two boys were related.

The grownups then continued discussing their plans and their plans on how to get rid of the three children.

When around one o'clock p.m. two students walked in to see if they could help with papers or books for the afternoon class. The twelve year old girl was behind them and asked "if the little boy was ready to go home early." The professor had said "Yes." "He is in the classroom."

No one knew that the soon to be step brother was going to live with his real father from that day on except the little girl and her best friend. His father didn't like his ex-wife's soon to be husband. His father had colored his hair. The professors didn't know that., so their plan went into action and a switch was made.

The twelve year old girl came back again and asked if she could do anything more. That is when the younger professor's son said "I like her." His father said to one of the student's take them to the special room."

None of the students even saw the little girl and her best friend because they were both under the desk tied up and a kerchief over their mouths. Nor was the soon to be step brother who was still on the chair tucked under the desk his eyes closed and not moving.

The little girl and her best friend were hungry and tired and fell asleep.

Chapter 7

The little girl and her best friend were held by the woman in silk stockings as they watched the little girl's best friend's soon to be step brother be beaten and stop breathing. When the woman gave the two she was holding to the older professor so she could take a look at the soon to be step brother. She said "He is barely breathing." "Put him on the chair." she said.

Then a knock came at the door and it was the twelve year old girl. She said "The little boy and the little girl's parents phoned to see when they can be picked up." The adults never opened the door. They said "around five o'clock."

Then the little girl's best friend was beaten by the older professor and no one else beat him. The little girl was not beaten. She saw though and could say who did what. The older professor told the little girl "You'll never see your family again."

Chapter 6

Now the grownups knew there were children hiding somewhere in the room. "It must be that boy the father was looking for." said the older professor.

The room was very large with a desk against the wall and the two desks together which held the chessboard and the professor's desk with the papers and photographs and drawings.

The professor said "Look under the desks." That's when the toy rattled and the three children were discovered..

The first one pulled out was the soon to be step brother. Next the little girl whose expression was of total fear. Finally her best friend was pulled out from under the desk.

The older professor now knew who the three children belonged to and said "You'll never, never ever touch anything again." "How did you get in this room and who let you in?" The three little children said nothing.

The next moment was terrifying because the soon to be step brother was still holding the army man. The other professor who was a bit younger grabbed him and pulled the army man from his hand. That professor had a son who was about 15 years old and he gave his father a salute and also held on to the soon to be step brother.

The little four year old girl watched along with her best friend as the grown-ups took turns beating him with their custom made walking sticks when he stopped breathing.

Chapter 5

Posted on Aug 3, 2008 3:45 PM

The little four year old girl quickly ran under the same desk has her best friend. Her best friends soon to be step brother had been playing army and hadn't had time to put it back. He too ran under the same desk.

The grownups were talking as they entered. They continued to talk and hadn't noticed the papers or the army man missing.

The three little children sat close together quietly hoping that the toy that rattled wouldn't. Her best friend's soon to be step brother held tight the army man. Those grown-ups talked in english and german mixed together. They said "We'll use all their ideas and test them on them."

The little girl was scared. She knew that the professor wouldn't take the blame if something happened.

They said "We have the perfect idea to get back Hitler's Germany."

They went on talking. When someone asked for the soon to be step brother. He came to pick him up. Only he wasn't found and they told him to come back later.

The three little children wanted to run out from under the desk only there were legs in the way.

The grownups continued their talking. When the professor noticed the army man missing from the chessboard.

Chapter 4

The little four year old girl first sat on the big chair and spun around. She giggled. You see she still had to be quiet because you could hear the grownups outside the door.

The little four year old girl sat on her knees and looked at the desk. She was too far away and she didn't want to move the chair so she climbed off and stood on her tiptoes. Still not tall enough. So she found the footstool under the desk and stood on it.

The professor always put his feet up because they would hurt.

Soon the little four year old girl carefully moved the papers. She wasn't interested in the words. She was looking for the pictures of the students and the pictures of the spaceship. It was a drawing her friend who typed showed her one day during the week. He was real nice and he could type real fast with two fingers.

As she was looking at the papers on the desk. The doorknob turned.

Chapter 3

In his British accent the professor said "I'll just be a minute, I have to make my move on the chessboard." Only when he looked at the chessboard he noticed he had already made that move and then in German he said "Was haben die älteren Kinder tun, aber ich mag den Umzug ist es Schachmatt!" Translated in English means "What have those older kids done, but I like the move it is checkmate!" The young German teacher said, "Be careful not to speak German in the open like that."

Slowly the three move towards the door and the three little children under the desk see the four pant legs and the two silk stocking legs move out the door and close the door behind them. The three little children had sat quietly hold their hands over their mouths and the toy was between them, so it would not rattle as it rolled back and forth.

The little girl's best friend's soon to be step brother got up from under the desk. He looked at the chessboard and said "They're army men!" To him that would be more fun to play with than something that rattled. The little four year old girl looked at him and said "Don't touch that."

The little four year old girl knew one of the professors, she had been to his home when he had told an other young assistant professor to show him how to discipline his son for not knowing what chaos was. She knew if he touched or played with one of those army men that he would be punished like he'd never been punished before.

The little four year old girl shrugged her shoulders and said "Boys, they never listen."

Her best friend's soon to be step brother didn't listen to her and started picking up each piece and looking at each one slowly and then putting it back in its position. He knew alot about army men. His father read him books about the different soldiers from around the world. What kind of clothes they were and what colors each army wore for each country. Her best friend would sleep in his soon to be step brother's room in which the two of them spent hours playing it was filled with pictures of armies and the bookshelf had picture books of the same. To her best friend's soon to be step brother this was heaven.

"One side has a German army, hey look." he said.

Her best friend turned around and looked when his soon to be step brother picked up another piece and said "This side is British!".

Her best friend then picked up one of the pieces and said "I know this one it is American!"

The chessboard was special. It had little ponds and trees and grass, some houses and was spread across the two gigantic desks. The soon to be step brother said "It is the world!" He then said, "They like to play army just like my dad and I."

Her best friend had once again gone under the desk and was playing with his toy. The little girl had her own idea and began to look at the papers on the other desk.

Chapter 2

Well, maybe never say never because here I am writing the next chapter. It wasn't the next night nor the next day.

The little four year old girl wasn't paying any attention to the twelve year old girl because she was more interested in what her best friend was doing. He had found this toy that was suppose to be very old and wanted to play with it so nobody would bother the small kids. The twelve year old girl knew a place and opened the door to where they could hide under gigantic desks.

The little four year old girl followed full of excitement and wonder. Her best friend always wanted to know how things worked. He always liked to take them apart. To think that the little four year old girl and her best friend and his soon to be step brother had to each carry the large cylinder. Her best friend at one end and his soon to be stepbrother at the other end and the little four year old girl holding the middle all the way to under the desk.The twelve year old girl had made friends of her own. She started talking to them, when along came the professors and the mistress she was the young german teacher who liked the professor's son who was very intelligent.

The twelve year old girl quickly closed the door and the little four year old girl and her best friend and soon to be step brother were hiding under the desk. As the girl closed the door she pressed her finger to her lips and said "shhhh." The children that were hiding under the desk could hear the laughter of the older kids and continued playing with their new found toy.

The little four year old girl and her best friend were investigating the toy. It was round like a rattle with several handles shaped like knobs on each end. It made a noise when you shook it. All that could be heard was the rattling of the toy as each section would turn. It took two of them to move the thin plastic that revealed letters of the alphabet. Otherwise, it was just scribbles.

When suddenly the door opened and in walked the professors.

Chapter 1

Posted on Jul 17, 2008 8:56 PM

Life can change in a split second. So for one small child that second happened several times in one day. She was no one special. She was four years old, with straight blondish, brownish hair that was curled, not in ringlets even though that was what it was suppose to be and a ribbon tied to some of her hair. The color was white usually because it went with everything she wore.

She would wear handme downs given her by people who had girls and they were usually too big. She had big brown eyes that lit up when she laughed or talked. She was full of life. People wanted to bottle that energy for when they got old. She thought old was someone ten years old and people who were older than that they were really, really old.

She never told her name because you weren't suppose to talk to strangers. Everyone was a stranger and she would giggle and say "I'm not suppose to talk to you."

Those grownups! Yes those ten year olds, twelve year olds, and fifteen/sixteen year olds they were strangers to this little girl. Only when one twelve year old girl told her her name, she said "I'm no longer a stranger, so tell me yours." The little girl looked scared for a second. The twelve year old said "Don't worry then you have a friend."

The little girl looked around for her best friend and he was checking out things you weren't suppose to touch with some of the older boys.

Do you wonder if she'll tell the twelve year old girl her name? Well, you wont find out tonight maybe tomorrow. Who knows maybe never.

What can spark a thought.

Posted on Jul 3, 2008 8:21 PM

Tonight while talking to an acquaintance who watched me swim for years was distracted by the birds. The pretty yellow finches. Isn't it ironic, that there was a talk at the museum which I did not go to about Darwin's Finches.

Darwin's Finches they are all the offspring of an original pair of finches, and that natural selection is responsible for the differences.

Some men/women have tried to use this theory on humans. Hitler to make the perfect race. It is something man/woman are always trying to prove.

The theory when implemented goes something like this. Test male and female. When two are equally matched, pair them off and their offspring should be a duplication of them and so on and so on. Only there becomes a problem. You can guess what it is.

So in humans we find our mates and hope that we are equally matched and our offspring than find mates who are equally matched which means natural selection is our choosing and the evolution of our generations shows our preferences.

Just a thought all because of an advertisement and the distraction by those pretty yellow finches and none of this did we discuss. It might have been interesting if we had.

Videos People Upload

Sometimes when you go browsing through all those videos people upload, you become amazed at what you can learn. For instance, I never knew that Australia didn't have any volcanoes on it. What it does have is a bed of hot rocks underneath it. Now someone has drilled to the bed of hot rocks in one location and not far away drilled a second hole into the bed of hot rocks in order to get the steam for electricity when they build a generating station.

What they did was pour water into the hot rocks which crack and cause veins or better way of saying openings. This may cause small earthquakes which they are monitoring.

If you think about Yellowstone Park you realize now some of the similarities to a volcano. Think about it.

Websites

Posted on Jun 27, 2008 4:07 PM

There is so much still to learn. Just think, I'm in my mid-fifties and I have spent this past week learning how to put a web page for a website. What Mr. Bill Gates has offered everyone is a chance to learn and share. The same holds true for Ms. Oprah Winfrey with her website.

I use the "Space" website for my photographs. Here I like to just put down my thoughts.

And in some discussions I give my two cents worth, maybe it should be a twonie's worth. I've learned alot about American Politics, that sometimes I've neglected my Canadian, meaning who and/or what changes there are and when some changes take effect.

So, now that I took the plunge with the website, I know why people, businesses are always updating, changing, and need expert manipulators of content and what appeals to the masses.

It is no easy task. I'll be constantly trying new features, some I probably wont like, others well they'll be used. I still have to try and put music only if it is not my own that I wrote or played than I am not sure I want to take a chance with getting charged for playing some one elses. That is something else I can learn which I have never tried yet.

Also, there is animation which I am trying thanks to my son who has so many books I can read and look at and try since he left all the old ones at home.

So knowledge is a lifetime of obtaining. Now back to some old fashion cleaning, crocheting and lounging in the backyard.
