I wrote some ramblings years ago about having a “Bambi Burger Bash” in my backyard. We could have one Bambi hanging in a tree and another on the grill… We could also have a bucket of KFC along with some other snacks and appetizers. Later, we could have some home made ice cream. Milk – it does a body good.
What about Vegetarians?
But what about my vegetarian friends that I invited to my burger bash? Hmmm? I could call one up before hand for a consultation to see what is and what is not acceptable for their palette. They all seem to have different rules. (more…)
When I first saw The Da Vinci Code, I thought it was just based on a novel. Well, it is,
right??

But maybe not.
I started finding out all sorts of interesting things, like how for hundreds of years, it has
been common knowledge in France that Mary Magdalene traveled there, lived out her
life, and raised her offspring who were apparently fathered by Jesus. Huh?
I never heard that in my church.
But in France, where Saint Mary Magdalene is the patron saint, people have always
believed this. Unbelievable!!
I took a trip to a local bookstore and found a whole section about this! And books about
the Knight’s Templar, the age old group who vowed to protect the Bloodline of Jesus,
and books about the Holy Grail being the Sangreal – the Holy Bloodline, NOT a cup!
Wow, and this was right here in my own city …. This whole section of books I had never
seen.
In The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown references a shadowy group known as le Prieure du
Sion, or The Priory of Sion. This group is apparently a secret society who guards these
esoteric secrets.
But how would I go finding out more about these secrets?
I love secrets!
More information followed. I got turned on to this cool radio show called NightVision
Radio hosted by Rene Barnett. Hey, cool! The lady that produced the movie Bloodline,
all about this mystery involving Mary Magdalene and her pad in France! The movie
even included this really interesting guy, Nic Haywood, a ‘hip-in-an-esoteric-way’ kind
of guy, who is the official spokesperson for The Priory of Sion. Guess what? I tuned
into her show and Haywood was on it live!

So now I’m looking forward to tomorrow night, Wednesday, May 23 2011. At 8:00 p.m.
Pacific Time, Nic’s gonna be on again! There’s even a live chatroom so if I might wanna
ask him some questions and get some really interesting answers on the air, I can! How
could anything be cooler than that??
Bloodline Mystery Tour 2011
I’ll tell you what could be cooler! Barnett and her business partner, Gloria Amendola,
are hosting a Esoteric Bloodline Mystery Tour this May to the U.K. where you can tour the important sites involved with this whole Mystery. Like Glastonbury, Rosslyn Chapel, and even Tintagel, the old
stomping grounds of King Arthur.
Best of all, Nic Haywood himself will be on the tour!
Tune in to the show. Come to the chatroom. Hey, we could even chat there! And if
you’ve been wanting to go to the United Kingdom, this tour’s for you …

How long has it been since you had some fast food? In the drive through did you get some good service? I’m ‘thinking’ you probably have a story to tell about it… Am I right?
I recently tagged along on a road trip with my groovy lady friend and I suggested we stop at a McDonald’s so I could go to the rest room. I was craving a little snack too… Uh… Mistake.
When I got done in the restroom…Which in itself was not all that great I noticed there was some people ‘waiting’ in line. Some to put in an order.. Others waiting on their order…
We decided we would check it out… again… Mistake… (more…)
In honor of Fat Tuesday I thought I’d take a little study on Catholicism, Protestants. History and the Bible.
People go for many years studying the Bible (sometime just one version at that- KJV only ) Guess what? – The Catholic Bible is NOT the same. It has all of the same books the protestant one does, plus a few that the protestants took out.. Now what’s that about?
Then I heard that Constantine ‘started’ Catholicism, uh….. that’s a newsflash.
I think folks may be getting Constantinople and Constantine confused, Constantinople was a Roman Church hub in the early days. Sure, he was a big player in the Catholic Church, but he didn’t ‘begin’ it. And yes, these ‘books,’ (included) or rather, letters, were written before that time, along with scores of OTHER ones. (more…)
American Girl has always been one of my favorite Tom Petty songs. It’s from his first album. I have been puzzled about this song on a couple of different fronts… Is it about suicide? And is it in the movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”?

Let’s talk a little about the Suicide theory first.. It goes something like this:
Hey Dave.. I went to the University of Florida… This chick..She jumped out of a 4 story dorm to her death… Ya know, Tom Petty wrote a song about it.. “American girl” I think she was tripping on acid and thought she could fly…
Well, how about all that? Hmmm?
Check the lyrics:
Well, she was an American girl Raised on promises She couldn’t help thinkin’ That there was a little more to life somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to And if she had to die tryin’ She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Tom petty is from Florida… It’s excellent songwriting material, isn’t it?
I’d write a song about it – uh…. maybe.
I Dunno…. If ya asked Tom he’d probably deny it… Just Google it.
My main question is about the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Prob the best high school movie ever made. My gang from high school used to go see it weekly at the “Midnight Movies” Even then (early 80s) it was a cult classic. We used to throw stuff and holla at the scream in our teenage angst.
What’s funny is our lives are reflected in the charterers on the screen… Can you guess which ones?
I distinctly remember the song “American Girl” being played near the beginning of the movie… The part where we’re just getting introduced to the school…… The kids are throwing toilet paper and stuff…
Teenagers…Geeze…..
………………………
HEY!! I just found it!!!
Now… Go rent the movie or watch it on TV….. I guarantee you it’s not in the film!
