Hi America, Did I mention...

Hi America, How are you?

It's been a long time since I've blooged. Did I mention that I graduated with my Ph.D.? I'm not sure if I blooged it. It is called blooging isn't it? I can't even remember that.


Did I also tell you that we moved to California? I'm sure I blooged that one. I may be lazy, but even I wouldn't forget to bloog that.


Here's a nice picture of the sunset from the cliffs here in sunny San Diego.



I'm sure I already told you that I got a post-doc at the Salk Institute. Did I tell you? Maybe not. Maybe I'm terrible. Anyway, here I am at the Salk. On the equini the sun lines up with the river that runs through our central courtyard, so that's pretty cool.




Here I am being silly.


Here's a seal that lives down the street from us.




Here I am when I first wake up. Seriously though, you know it's cool to have wild seals and sea lions nearby, but what people don't tell you about that, is that seals and sea lions are actually quite smelly.





Here we are when we went hiking at Mission Trails Park.





Perhaps the most exciting thing was when Claudia made empanadas and one of them contained a greetings of love from a UFO alien.




And another contained a fossilized dinosaur bird.



Oh did I mention that we are training for the half marathon in the Avenue of the Giants? And we're also registered for the AFC Half Marathon here in sunny San Diego. Also we're registered for the Marine Corps Marathon. It will be Claudia's first marathon, and my first in a while. So, I've got that going for me, which is good.

Anywho, that's about all that's going on here. I miss my friends back in Houston. You guys are very cool. You should come visit. You can sleep on the futon.

Best, Keith.

congrats on the PhD!! Hard work, but it paid off! As for the "uninterested" bio class...it's probably over by now, but welcome to the world of teaching. You are now a song and dance man with a degree. Entertain me is the name of the game - I know, been there, done that, now retired and I hand the baton over to YOU. Congrats on a job well done! (even though you don't know me...

Hey Keith. I just thought I would check out your blog to see how you and C were doing. I am glad to see things seem to be going well. How do you like your postdoc? What is C doing? How's the running. I made the lottery of the Houston Half marathon so I will be doing that in January. Excited. I now belong to both CCFC and BARC. Thanks for introducing me to it all! Miss you guys and best wishes. Email me sometime! hlbrashe@yahoo.com

I hope the move went well and congrats on the PhD.
I hit the "next blog" button on my blog and it took me to yours. I'm working on a photography project where I take a photo every day. Trying for 365. I've mentioned running a few times and so blogger apparently thinks mine is a running blog. I'm currently trying to mention photography words so that it will link me up with other photography blogs. When I first saw yours and several photos I thought I had done it. After I looked closer I realized you are a runner.

Just as the gods used WWII to justify positioning an influx of new technologies so will they use the impending pestilence which kills over half the world's population to justify positioning historical medical advances, including the "cure of aging", initiating the "1000 years with Jesus on Earth", advances which have already occurred courtesy of biotechnology.
We've seen this tactic used recently with AIDS, targetted at homosexuals and blacks in Africa with the biotechnology product. The gods control everything on Earth, and althugh sold AIDS to your enemies as revenge, their real purpose was to enlighten you regarding sex:::Back-handed help. It was very effective with homosexuals in the USA, but sex is among the most powerful temptations with Africans. Remeber it is always the gods:::Slavery, AIDS, drive-bys, crack babies, pimps prostituting 10 year-old girls. And, contrary to your belief the victim doesn't go anywhere, they are reincarnated back to Earth like everyone else when we die.
Then, as promised, The End will come with fire::::Global tectonic subduction.

Don't forget the lessons the 'ole white preacher taught:::Dancing is a sin, spare the rod spoil the child.
The gods used the liberal tool to ridicule away so many taboos, paving the way for the decay of society and ultimately the End Times::::::
Black behavior was controlled by the "KKK". Men's behavior was controlled by marriage for thousands of years.
When married by 15 men never gained the taste of promiscuity. Once the gods used the budding liberalism tool the men set the tone for the deteriorating enviornment centered around their gross disfavor.
Women's relinquishing control of pre-arranged marriage will be what costs mankind everything in The End. It's all their fault. Men are pigs, essentially just primally responsive disfavored beings who if given the freedom will abuse based on the impulses the god's push them into. Whereas under pre-arranged marriage this behavior was contained now the promiscuous fraternity house epitomizes the pinnicle of what a "real man" should be like. And sadly the women fall into line.

The gods behave monsterously in the course of managing Planet Earth, matching our decay, but they demand people be good if you are to have a chance to ascend as a child in a future life.
Not only is doing the right things important (praying, attoning for your sins, thinking the right way:::accepting humility, modesty, vulnerability), so is avoiding the wrong things important as well:::"Go and sin no more".
You NEED active parents who share wisdom to have a real chance to ascend into heaven in a future life, and you MUST be a good parent as well to have that opportunity.

As with so many things in this life "less is more". Sex is one of those things. They used the liberal age to promote casual "free" sex intentionally::Combined with "women's lib" and their initiation into the "trenches" of the workplace as well as other issues like alcohol consumption the people experienced a mass masculinization of the females.
The gods use sex as temptation. This is why the most disfavored among us are preoccupied with it. While some may feel being well-endowed is a sign of favor the truth is just the opposite. And often the result is misogyny, a belittling of the favored gender, and stagnation of the people as a whole.
Less is more. When young women experience passing thoughts which say you're doing something wrong instead of fighting or dismissing the thought you should heed the warning. Sadly in today's world too many experience prolonged periods of promiscuity in their lives, whereas if married by 15 like throughout human history this disfavor was avoided.
Don't forget:::It is children who ascend into heaven, and the absence of sexual activity is one reason. Their general innocence is another, which should help you see the destructive nature of adult life in today's society.
