I go with Recon. M-95, extra ammo, binoculars, and that cool revolver I unlocked yesterday. Let’s do this. I drop down through the air, my parachute billowing and slowing my descent. I look down and notice a vacant tank, something Russian , like a T-90 or something, just waiting for someone to drive it. Unfortunately, another soldier, SuperPhat420 by his blue name hanging over his head, also notices it and starts steering his parachute towards it. Since he was quite a bit lower than me he gets there first. As he enters the tank its engine rumbles to life and he guns it. The big machine lurches forward, but I had timed it correctly and make it in just in time. I don’t mind not driving though. Gunning is preferable since, when the tank is inevitably destroyed, you can always blame it on the driver

I have a theory about how we ended up here on Mother-Ship Earth . After all, isn’t almost everything about our precarious futures just a tad too ominous, seemingly set into a pattern of continuous lucid movement

Illustration: Croatian silk embroidery for a cap 17th century The modern state of Croatia could be said to entail at least three distinct traditional areas, that of Croatia proper, Slavonia, Dalmatia/Istria, along with a number of smaller but no less distinct regions. All of the regions that make up modern day Croatia have their own cultural and craft distinctiveness and so any attempt to introduce a craft subject that just talks of Croatia has to take this into consideration

Still Life Paintings by Daily Painters – April 12, 2010
I decided to do something a little different. I found some old diary pages in the Public Domain and ‘collaged’ the little gal from my Butterfly Blues piece into a brand new piece entitled, ” She Hearts Butterflies and Blackbirds ” the other piece is entitled ” Her Deepest Thoughts ” They were rather fun to put together…though I do admit I’m not very experienced at collage… I think I’d like to experiment a bit more with it.

As I sit here in a comfy chair at Starbucks, typing away on my laptop, I think it odd that my thoughts drift to visions of destruction and desolation. Odd because my imaginings entail the loss of pretty much everything I enjoy as I sit here: my iced mocha, the wireless internet I am using, my car outside, even the sense of safety and security that I feel. Odd also because, while I entertain notions of what it would be like, a part of me is sure that I really have no concept of what I contemplate. No frame of reference. I could assume that since I have played numerous games, seen numerous movies, and read numerous books centered on the theme of the post apocalypse that I do indeed have plenty of vicarious experience to draw upon. But how much do I really know about something if what I know is solely based on things fed to me through popular culture . Just because I have watched as many war movies as I possibly could, and read as much as I could about military engagements and what not, does not mean that I have any idea of what it truly means to be in a war. An idea, maybe, but nothing more. Something tells me that if I were really and truly there, I would not be quite so into it. And yet, this idea of the end times fascinates me. Why? What is it about the end of everything that is so alluring? Is it some kind of species awareness that makes us afraid that something may happen to wipe us from history completely? Or, is it because Hollywood just wanted to make another bad disaster movie? There are so many ways we have envisioned the demise of our species. The pole shift that will occur in 2012, that was supposedly foretold by the Mayans is a good example. It sounds really exciting. But when you really research the whole 2012 thing, you get all bogged down in Mesoamerican Long Counts, and previous worlds that have been destroyed, or were they destroyed, some say no, and after a while, you don’t even care anymore. Did you know that the Aztecs believed that there were four “Suns,” or worlds previous to this one, all of which were ultimately destroyed? Then again, the Aztecs themselves were, for the most part, destroyed by European invaders, so maybe they were on to something after all. Let’s not forget the vikings. According to Norse mythology there were a series of events, called Ragnarok , that signaled the end of the world. A great battle between the gods, followed by a bunch of natural disasters , and eventually the submersion of the world under water. Then again, of course a sea-faring people would predict that eventually the oceans would cover there lands. It just makes sense. Even Christianity has its own doomsday predictions. The rise of the Anti-Christ, followed by the return of Jesus Christ , and ultimately, Judgment Day. Or something along those lines. I’m not quite sure about the particulars, but if you are really interested you could read the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye . I think there was even a movie starring Kirk Cameron

Reflections On The End Times
To me, “business is life and life is business.” Business has become the primary vehicle for my growth and contribution. It’s the vehicle that has taught me more about human psychology, myself, connection, people, values, courage, creativity, meaning, self-empowerment and even sexuality than anything else. My parents were the reason I went into business
