some billboard humor

The comedians out there do some great stuff at youtube and myspace....so while looking for a laugh i came across this little gem called dueling billboards by a guy named mario digiorgio...i wonder if that is his real name?

We all notice those billboards and i'm one who shouts back while buzzing past. Well our boy mario has put together a little piece i sure hope makes you laugh.

Some may find this offensive....especially when this blog is about humanity, but that is why i posted it. There are many, many offensive things about mankind. i'm completely offended by war(death and destruction) while others are offended by words and think war is a necessary evil. That old adage:

"Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me."

should be everyone's mantra. For words only hurt if you let them. But weapons, when utilized by mankind, kill and that is a far worse fate than being offended by dueling billboards.
so if i haven't offended you yet.

Check out this blog.

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein

This morning while swimming, thoughts of this web site were running through my mind. I was communing with the light beams, thinking all was well with the world. Wondering how I was going to incorporate the lower case i I had seen in the sky while walking in the dark.

My friends and I walk three times a week, meeting in the dark at the ungodly hour of 5:30am.

Now, that lower case i was displayed in the eastern morning sky. It was created by the moon's light shining upon some clouds from behind. The i was beautiful and dominated the darkness.

So, making a long story shorter.

I also swim with another set of friends on the same days that I walk. We do open ocean swimming and we have one stretch that goes out over the abyss. While swimming in the abyss I started wondering about the lower case i. Should I write about the all powerful eye that is displayed on so many things, should I write about the light that funnels into a kind of eye?

You know, those random thoughts that run through a persons mind.

Anyway, while I was concentrating on thinking about the i, a piece of jelly fish tentacle nailed me right above the heart on my breast.

It took my breath away.

It was so painful I had to stop swimming, but, it made me recognize where my thoughts were running.

We humans are all lower case i's, but we forget that in our quest for domination.

This blog isn't about me. It is about all of us lower case i's...and i will have to do battle daily to remember that.

PS... i have been using the lower case i ever since i wrote this piece when i started this blog.
