The first thing I said to myself when I saw these is: What the…

Check out these freaky videos. It looks like a cross between a college prank and a kidnapping but it seems to be some kind of test:

What do you think these videos are?

Leave your best guess below and I’ll try and contact the owners to see WTF these things are about.

I was watching Four Corners (a fantastic 20/20 type investigative journalism show in Australia) this afternoon and there was a special broadcast on Muscle Dysmorphia (AKA Bigorexia), which is sort of the opposite of anorexia.

As most of you will know, anorexic women see a distorted image of their bodies in the mirror, which causes them to think they are too fat no matter how skinny they get. Bigorexic men (although neither disease is 100% gender-specific, the are drastically skewed in either direction) look in the mirror and see themselves as too skinny, no matter how big and muscular they get.

You can see it marketed to men when you watch bodybuilding videos in much the same way that those anorexia websites celebrate anorexia. Neither extreme is “good for you” and both can lead to long-term health problems, yet muscle dysmorphia doesn’t seem to have as bad a reputation as anorexia. (more…)

I just saw a television news report about another candy recall. This stuff has got to stop! How many times are we going to import food (for our pets OR our children!) contaminated with melamine from China? How much longer are we going to allow US companies to import lead-tainted toys from China? How much longer are we going to have a government that preaches “National security” and yet fails to inspect the many thousands of shipping containers arriving in our ports every single day? (more…)

Did you have a past life? What about a “life between lives” ? Two things I’ve become very interested in lately are regression therapy (past life regression through hypnosis or hypnotherapy) and between lives regression (BLR). It’s fascinating to ponder the idea that your conscious “being” is born again and again into different vessels.

But why is it that all of these people who claim to have lived past lives
are always claiming to be someone famous – like a queen, inventor or emperor?

Do I honestly think that I’ve had past lives? Yes and No. (more…)
