Hello to all today:

I awoke this morning to someone calling out all the nicknames I have had since childhood!
Nicole!
Nik!
Niko!
Princess!
Freckle Face!
Tea Cup!
Braces!

"Okay, Okay, I'm up!" I scream to stop all the memories from teenage anguish! "Who are you, and what do you want?"

"I'm hungry...and I've been asleep for too long, and I want to come out and play, but I'm scared!" The voice replied.

"Okay, one thing at a time!" I say. "Who are you?" See I started to think I was going crazy, I know that hearing voices is never a good sign.

"You are not going crazy, Nik." The voice replied, listening to my thoughts he has been! "I'm the ninety percent of the brain you don't use! And I want to come out and play, but I feel fat."

"You feel fat? That's crazy!" I exclaim.

"Well everyone's brain is only ten percent and I am ninety percent. If I come out they will make fun of me and call me fatso!"

I say, "Well, we'll name you Tiny. Even though you're bigger than them Tiny will be a good name, and no one will mess with you."

"But, Nik, Tiny doesn't fit my personality!"

"Yes, I understand that you would enjoy a name like Alexander or Michelangelo, or perhaps Leonardo or Zeus is more your style, but there is a tiny in ninety! You see I think it fits you perfectly."

"Okay Tiny it is then. Wow, when did I become so easily influenced?"

"So, Tiny what do you want?"

"Well, you have been asking questions lately, and little by little I have been awakening. Now, I want to play and question with you. I think it will be so much more fun than sitting here with no info streaming through me like that little guy you use all the time. What do you call him Nik?"

"Well I call him Me, Tiny. And please don't hurt his feelings...I've been with him a long time and he's been good to me."

"Well..Me's dendrites are on my side of the brain."

Then I hear Me say, "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!"

Wow...I think this can't be happening to me today. I have to study for my German test today...Then they both scream "It's happening"

So off to the bathroom I go to shower and brush my teeth of course. I look in the mirror and Me says "Boy, you're looking good today, Nik. I love the tan girlfriend, and those highlights are off the hook!" Then Tiny replies, "Looks do not matter, Nik! Beauty is on the inside, and you seem a little dark in here!"

Time for a tylenol I think, and take I take four!

"Hey I'm hungry remember" Tiny says

"Okay what is for breakfast?" I ask

"Pizza!" Me screams over and over.

"Pizza? That is not going to cut it. This is my first meal. I would like sardines, a piece of garlic and some red wine please." Tiny replies strongly.

"Okay! Me dendrite the hell out of Tiny there is no way I'm eating that shit this early in the morning, no matter how smart I will become." I say as I make pizza.

So that's my day so far. No more Tiny and I must say that pizza was delish!

A simple poem for today????

I hear a cry in the dark
A whispered plea
"Mommy, what's happening to me?"
A small cry.

I hear terror in the small voice
"Mommy, please, I'm scared."
Silence......

I hear no cry in the dark,
No whispered plea.
No longer do I hear the terror in the small voice
Screaming,
"Mommy, Please!"

I hear cries in the dark,
A million desperate pleas,
"Mommy, what are you doing to me?"

BTW---I asked question #2 in class today...and the only response I received was empty looks....even the prof. said he'd have to get back to me later on it! It must be a good question if you stump the teacher...right?

Hello to all today:

Okay again with the philosophy! I know...I know, I think if I keep this up I will lose friends...but I have to find the truth some way right?

So I am reading the book of Mark in the Bible. Which I recently have discovered that the book of Mark was actually written before Matthew (or some say it is so). According to some...Mark was written with urgency, and the fact that Mark lacks some of the other teachings that have been added (oops..sorry included) to the gospels is missing in Mark.

Anyway, that is not the point.
Let's get on with the questions shall we?
Again, please feel free to comment...I enjoy all the comments whether I agree with them or not.

Just for the record I will be quoting out of the New International Version.

1) Over and over again in Mark Jesus is quoted as saying "Go, but do not tell anyone."...Mark 1:43-44; 5:43; 7:36; 8:30. Okay, so why the secrecy? Why didn't Jesus want others to hear of his healings? Was this not the point for him to come to earth? A friend of mine said that he didn't want praise given to himself for the healings, Jesus is supposed to be the only true altruistic person. But, if this is the case why did he give orders for those healed not to speak of their healings?

2)Mark 3:17 says, "James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder);" I don't know if I even need to write a question for this one...but here it is...If Jesus was the Son of God, and he was here to worship and bring others to the lamb...why would he change the names of men to things like the "Sons of Thunder"? Isn't this a little paganistic?

3) Mark 8:22-26 is written about a blind man at Bethsaida...my question is why did it take Jesus two times to heal this man? And then why was the man ordered "Don't go into the village."?

4) Mark 9:14-19 talks about Jesus healing a boy with evil spirits. The boys father tells Jesus the symptoms of his son and then he says "I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not." Starting at Mark 9:19 Jesus responds, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me." Now, it could just be me, but this seems like an extremely harsh response to someone who is asking for help...why does Jesus talk so harshly to his disciples?

5) Mark 12:27..."He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken." Jesus is talking about marriage in the after life...within Heaven. I though that God was to God over all...not only the living or the dead....just as he is not only God over this world, but all worlds...so what's that about?

Okay I will pause there to see how many others are interested!

Hello to all:

I just wanted to come on and say I am Princess Nik of Blogland!

However, being Princess has been such a demanding job. The fairy godmother hasn't left me alone the whole damn time! It's been very difficult to climb up into the pea for sleep, and when I bring a boy home its even more difficult!

And while I have enjoyed the great ball room....it really needs a new coat of paint...where did that damn painter go?

And the sharp pricks keep chasing me!

Thanks to King Dan!
Nik
