post random questions daily and see if anyone plays with me and answers them :) (read all 110 entries…)
What do you believe? 12 months ago

Big e.g. that a great big dung beetle pushes the sun across the sky every day
and/or small e.g. that pink should be banned for men’s wear?

Do you have proof like beetle tracks in the clouds, scientific evidence that pink makes women cringe, that sort of thing?
Do you need proof?

Cheer!

If we all cared for one other person…

beliefs

I believe in too many things to even try to elaborate… I believe in Vacations, Education, and that the world is nothing like it could or was meant to be…

Meant to be? How do you mean? I’m not going into the ‘by whom?’ question but does your comment mean that you assume some great plan or purpose for this world? Interesting!

Heaven

I’m not from a religious family and I have never followed it myself.

But I definitely think there is something after life on earth. Im not sure what or where or how.

But when my grandma passed away I’m sure my Grandad was there waiting for her. I like to think of them together now catching up on all the things that happened since he passed away 24 years ago.

I don’t need proof for this one. And even if it turns out not be so there is no harm in thinking!

I also would like to believe the moon is made of cheese but I hear that is a vicious rumour.

Ooooh, I think there are parallel universes too! My theory was thats why we get deja vu cos were doing something that our parallel ‘me’ is doing at the very same time. Thats why it feels familiar!!!

(I have no proof for this one!)

Also I believe that people who drive too slow in the middle lane of the motorway and just stay there for millions of miles on end should be banned!

Intriguing

Personal proof. If you don’t mind me asking…?

I must admit

I don’t understand any of that entry but I guess that is kind of the point of the entry. So I’ll take your word for it. It must have been amazing. Thanks for sharing, even if I don’t understand.

sounds like

angel-business to me.

AdmiralJack isn't exactly back, but wants to play.

I believe- nay- I KNOW

That high heels ARE NOT SEXY. And neither are thongs.

I’ve ranted at length about heels, so I’ll spare you, but thongs…. Thongs go IN your butt. That is kind of gross.

Boy shorts, ladies, boy shorts. And boots or sneakers.

oh yeah, and America kicks ass.

tangerine_now Back on. :)

Oh yeah!

Thank. You. Jack! This is exactly why I don’t wear thongs! Yegh.

How about boots with heels?

Whose ass?

AdmiralJack isn't exactly back, but wants to play.

NO!

Heels are bad. BAD. I’m talkin’ foxy combat or work boots. If I ever got with Alice from Resident Evil, I’d beg her to leave them on.

whosever we feel like kicking

Okay

That is a personal belief there, allright!
Cheers to you, Jack!

And thanks, also in the name of my ass and knees&back.

Why do I suddenly want to go out and buy toughy boots? :D

Jack, Jack, Jack...

Not only are thongs sexy, but having that little string saves on having to buy floss.

I concur.

Both are evil.

How could you possibly be comfortable?

I believe in love.

and I believe that we’re all the same/we’re all connected/we’re all made out of the same God.

and I believe in thongs.. anything else just seems like “granny-panties” to me.

*Mama Bear* missing you guys...

Your question...

...puzzles me (see the ‘WTF’ look on my face right there?). And I’m not that easily puzzled… ;)

But I’ll give it a go.

1 – I don’t believe in giant beetles. Don’t need proof, if there was one, I’m pretty sure someone would have seen it. Those tracks in the sky, I’m actually pretty damn sure it’s airplanes (not 100, but like 85%).

2 – I’m rather certain the sun doesn’t get pushed around the sky every day. I’ve actually got a feeling we might be the ones moving, but I’m not certain… Proof would be appreciated.

3 – Men in pink… I still wonder. I don’t quite believe in bans (they never work… makes people all rebellious and stuff), but perhaps like a minor fine? They could put the money in some fund for the creation of a Lesbian version of Queer eye for the straight guy? That might help…

4 – My daily conversations with Ingmar the neighbouring tree and regular visits to Mount Olympus (not the one in Greece… it’s broken. the one above the clouds… just an eagle flight away) keep me pretty convinced that I’ve got all the proofs I need that the world is going exactly as it should be. But Hush!, it’s a secret… :p

NB: I’m goofing around, but I actually do mean every word I say write. Oh, okay then, his name is not Ingmar. But that’s the only lie.

Just for the record

The question was NOT ‘Do you believe in gigantic solar-powerING beetles?’... ;o)

*Mama Bear* missing you guys...

And just for the record...

... I know ;) I’m quite familiar with the veneration ancient Egypt had for the all-mighty beetle. It’s just that your line about beetle tracks in the sky created this surreal image in my mind, so I couldn’t help going along with it :p

I realize re-reading my entry that I do sound like I’m being sarcastic the whole way through (the wonders of written communication sometimes…). And I really didn’t mean to be. So, here I go again.

Taking the serious face on:
I do mean every word of point 4. I believe in the powers and forces of nature, I believe that we all have the innate power to communicate with all these forces, and that it is quite natural for humans to communicate with the spirit world (hence my mentioning that neighbouring tree, who is indeed my friend and gives me plenty good advice when I walk by, or Mount Olympus which I indeed have visited several times). It sounds really freaky and surreal, but I believe that this used to be second nature to everyone before we lost track. Well, I think it still is second nature. I don’t quite understand how dogmatic religions came about (and I have genuinely tried to), but I am certain that the way people thought at the very beginning of (our) times is The Way. It’s the key to getting all the answers and help we need to live life fully.

I don’t know if any of this makes any sense to you? Or if I just sound like a total freak to you. Either way, feel free to ask :)

Big e.g. that a great big dung beetle pushes the sun across the sky every day

nope the dung beetle would get fried like a match stick in a fire. How would the bettel leave the earth’s atmosphere. It took us hundreds of years to fire the first rocket into space and this beetle with a brain the size of a pill is going to do the same thing? No way.

and/or small e.g. that pink should be banned for men’s wear?

Explain that to Reebok when they donated pink Avon Walk for Breast Cancer participants, men and women this past May 2008 at the end of the race where Avon raised over $6.8 million dollars, I beleive. Reebok I believe does the same thing for the other 9 walks across the USA.

Do you have proof like beetle tracks in the clouds, scientific evidence that pink makes women cringe, that sort of thing?
Do you need proof?

yes I need proof.m Why can’t men wear pink. I belong to Code Pink Boston and sometimes we agree to wear pink colored shirts to protest events and such. Pink is just a color, what’s wrong with wearing pink anyway?

tangerine_now Back on. :)

Pinky

Well, I’m talking godly dung beetles here. Like the ones in ancient Egypt.

And although I completely applaud every effort like Reebok’s against breast (or other kinds of) cancer, I don’t think the colour pink is strictly necessary for it. ;o) Please believe me when I say that I have no other motive for disliking pink clothing, political or otherwise, other than I simply don’t like the colour pink. I thought it would be a little-controversial point to bring up as an example of possible beliefs.

(Suddenly I find myself challenged on my alledged beliefs in celestial dung beetles and colour-bans! They were examples people! I was thinking more along the lines of gods, black cats crossing paths, that all will be right or that this world is going to the dogs, that the truth is out there, that sort of thing.)

Shooosh! :o)

Oh, I am sorry...

I was just trying to be funny and it backfired. I meant no harm…

It’s just in the movie, “The Ten Commandments” Moses who has set many plagues of Egypt, announces to Ramses wife, “the next plague on Egypt will be on his hands” SO Ramses orders “that the slaves first born child are to be killed, starting with the Moses’s son.

So, God, our mighty Creator, in the movie, lets loose the deadly hand and anyone that does not have a red paint on their doorway, their first born is killed.

Ramses releases the slaves the next morning because his temple god, okar, with a man’s body and a head of a bird doesn’t bring back his son who dies that night.

After all the slaves leave, survive yet another attack by Ramses whose army is destroyed, I imagine Egypt turns to dust because who is going to keep building the pyamids?

So, I am sorry I don’t believe in any “godly dung beetles,” because they I dont believe they ever existed, and I don’t believe in dung beetle gods other than my one true god, God.

As for the color “pink” well pink is a calming color, their is even a magazine called Pink ;What would all the beauty and cosmetic companies due with all those pink shades of lipstick, and nail color? Would Renee Witherspoon still be sucessful if she didn’t wear her pink outfit in “Legally Blonde?” and how would Elvis write his song about a “pink cadillac?”

tangerine_now Back on. :)

Thanks! :o)

Beetle: I don’t believe in celestial insects either. And I saw the movie.

Pink: I like green better. It calms me and makes me feel happier. Guess it’s a matter of taste, eh?

Cheers!
