About Me

According to the Books of Kings, Elijah raised the dead, brought fire down from the sky, and ascended into heaven on a whirlwind. In many parts of the New Testament, both Jesus and John the Baptist are frequently thought to be Elijah. Based on a prophecy in Malachi, many Jews still await his return as precursor to the coming of the Messiah.Elijah's legacy continues on in many traditions and beliefs. He is a major part of the Jewish brit milah and Passover seder ceremonies, as well as traditions involving Lillith and the angel Sandalphon. In Christianity, he is expected to arrive either before the Second Coming of Jesus, or thought to have already arrived at the Mount of Transfiguration before the Crucifixion. In Eastern Europe, he is known as "Elijah the Thunderer" and is blamed in folklore for poor weather.... At least that's what the internet told me. Frankly, I'm as surprised as you are.

DILUTE!!

Blood! Oh yes, coffee is a wonderful thing.  I feel I have an affinity for both arabica, and robusta.  Until recently, I have been a coffee snob -- viewing arabica as the only variety worthy...

Hollow Men

Art is dead.  Or at least close enough.  This is bad.  Societies need art.  Art reflects the society, its accomplishments and its embarassments, in a way like no other.  Art t...

Plants are nice

I really think plants have feelings, but beyond being a barefoot unshowered hippie, I have actually observational evidence. Ever notice how plants move toward the light, and how leaves on trees point...
