…..The official line is that Polynesian people arrived in their canoes on the islands around 700 to 1100 CE….am I the only one who doesn’t know what CE means…..BC and AD yeah but CE?…..anyway,….they go on this whole thing trying to explain this and that….but what shocked me is that…..the nearest country closest to the islands is Chile…..which is 3,512 kilometers (2,182 miles) away.….that’s like a flight almost to California……and the first arrivers are connected genetically to Samoans, Tongans, Niueans, Cook Islanders, Tahitians, Hawaiians, Marquesans and of course Maori.….which…when you think about it…..it ain’t no surprise…..genetically.….and scientist, educated idiots..…and Stupid Study People are still trying to figure out….how the statues were carved…and how the rocks got there or if they were there already.….and how can a civilization.….who had no idea about metallurgy..…could carve stones with tools made of wood, stone..…animal products such as barracuda jaws, shark teeth, shells and sometimes even human bones…..but archeologists are saying the Rapa Nui people used those tools that were made of a volcanic rock….10 meters long statues weighing up to 90 tons…..and no metal tools have ever been found on the island.
REMEMBERING ANTOHNY BOURDAIN…..It’s amazing how his death touched so many people….his show wasn’t just about food, it was about people, politics, just normal shit.….he touched many subjects while eating food in many different places around the world…..and had conversations with basically..…anyone….he didn’t call President Obama to be on his show.…..Prez called him…that’s how well-liked he was…..Don Lemon who is a CNN journalist.….explained how food can change a situation..… “When conversations are getting heated and angry, just put some food on a table, have everyone sit down and eat, and the talks become more relaxing”…..it didn’t matter whether he was in Africa, Iceland or down on the Bayou..…he really wanted to know something about the person he was talking to and the environment he was visiting..…. “I don’t need a five-star restaurant to eat in every day. I’m very happy sitting here in Vietnam, on this plastic chair, at this small table, on a noisy street, watching the traffic go by and enjoy this wonderful food inside this bowl in my hand. That’s heaven for me.”……depression is no joke people….and if you know someone going through a bout of it….please reach out and help them.
NATIONAL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES…..I don’t get it….what in the hell does LeBron James have to do?……the man scores 51 points in the first game.…. “51”……and they still lose?….what would’ve happened if his momma wrote him a “he can’t come out and play today because he’s sick” note…the Cav’s would’ve lost by 51?….a friend of mine shared a photo of James screaming and the caption saying; “I’m not Kobe….I need some MF’N help”….and if Kyrie Irving was still part of the Cav’s….they would’ve had a better fighting chance.….but game 4?…..seriously?…..the Cav’s gave up towards the end of the fourth quarter…and to quote the immortal words of Monday Night Football commentator Don Meredith..… “Turn out the lights…the parties over!”.….one dude commentating on game 4 said..… “This game reminds me of when Sugar Ray Leonard was fighting Roberto Duran and then out of nowhere, Duran said “No Mas”……yes I do dog LeBron because the refs need to give him a bus pass..…so he won’t have to walk so far to the basket.….BUT……he is a great humanitarian…..and a humble person.….maybe some of you didn’t see him shake the hands of the Golden State players and coaches..….the refs and his teammates……but I sure did and that put him one up in my respect category.
THE LAST 10 OF THE 20 WEIRD THINGS KIDS HAVE SAID THAT WOULD SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF YA…..Like I said to the other 10…..my sons never said weird things like this to me…..
I was tucking in my two-year-old. He said, “Goodbye dad.” I said, “No, we say goodnight.” He said, “I know but this time it’s goodbye.” I checked on him a few times to make sure he was there.
A few years ago, I was putting my friends three-year-old daughter to bed for the night, she asked me why she had to go to bed, and I said, “Because it is late and it’s time for little girls to get a good night’s rest.” She then pointed at nothing across the room and said, “What about that girl?”
“I talk to the window person at night. “We live on the second story. She was three and she called him “R.”
When my daughter was two, we were walking above a creek and stopped to look at it. She stared at it silently and then pointed… “I died in there.”
My three-year-old woke me up crying in the night. I went into her room and through sobs she said to me, “That man on the wall made me cry.” So, I looked at the wall and there was nothing there.
My one-and-a-half-year-old saying, “The baby is stuck, it’s stuck in your tummy.” And I miscarried about a week later.
My three-year-old daughter was sitting in a chair next to our bed while we watched a movie. Out of nowhere she looks at me and says, “Will you answer them?” I asked her what she meant, and she pointed in between the chair and our bed and said, “The three people right there keep asking me if they can go in the garden, Please answer them.”
Me: “There’s nothing under your bed now. Go back to sleep.
Three-year-old: “He’s behind you now.”
When my son was young, he came and climbed into bed with us, crying. I asked him what was wrong. He said that the big fat man with a bloody hole in his head kept trying to open his window.
My five-year-old asked me when he was going to be 23. I told him in 18 years. He replied, “Well, I hope I don’t die again, because that’s how old I was the last time I went to heaven.”
