My Mission Continues (Updated — Quadrice)

December 15, 2012 by Debbi

HelloBadge

So … as you may recall (or not, so I’ll include the link), I have a weird theory about why I have dystonia.

I’ve also come to realize that I’m a Buddhist, apparently. I’ve also come to realize that life on earth could be heaven, if we learned to share our toys, instead of keeping everything for ourselves.

Now, here’s the problem. Everybody thinks they deserve more than everyone else. Who decides what’s fair and who gets what?

That’s because we all live in secret Guantanemo suffer from something.

Now … my husband and I were discussing the horrible tragedy in Newtown, CT. People are posting all sorts of statistics on Facebook and saying all sorts of things on the news and Twitter and so on, etc.

I can’t speak for all Americans. My opinion is my opinion alone. And when I publish here, I’m publishing to the entire Internet, not to any one individual. Got that?

In a perfect world, there would be no guns or crazy people. In a perfect world, there wouldn’t be cancer, AIDs or dystonia.

We need to work together to find solutions, instead blaming each other for the problems.

That’s what I meant when I blogged about the cosmic jokes and not taking yourself too seriously.

I’m going to post two links, and then I’m going to ask for your support for my literacy campaign.

Looking for America.

Love: A Tribute to Mother Teresa.

Pretty ironic, wouldn’t you say? Ha ha ha …

Please support my Indiegogo campaign for literacy and disaster relief efforts. I have until Dec. 21 to meet my $1,000 goal, so any contributions will help. Thank you so much!

On a personal note, I will add here that I vaguely recall Scott Clevenger tweeting something to the effect that this blog reflected the many colors of the rainbow or something. I thought that was really awesome. Thank you, Scott! :)

So … it’s seems most appropriate to include this quote from Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar:

“We see many fine sunsets here, unique in the splendour of their colour. No doubt the surroundings in this fairyland of blue and white do much to increase their beauty.”

Roald Amundsen, 16 July 1872 – c. 18 June 1928

And Vanilla Ice! Ha!

Oh, and never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha …

UPDATE: Local news station WUSA has posted this photo on Twitter.

GunBuybackLaurel-12-15-12

I guess Sam McRae and all the other residents of Laurel, MD can sleep better tonight knowing that dozens of guns are now off the streets. Except, of course, for the guns that aren’t off the streets, because criminals and psychos, etc. are assholes terrible cosmic jokes. Oh, well, sorry to interrupt this awesome good news with my cynicism reality check.

Let’s pretend I never did this update, okay! :)

LetsPretend

Ha ha ha …

UPDATE 2: This is way too awesome not to share!  Thank you, Cabbage Thing. :)

UPDATE 3: OMFG!!!! Click here now! :D You’re welcome. Ha ha ha …

UPDATE 4: Okay, just one more update, and I really, really will stop doing this, okay? :)

Here are a few details about my campaign.

If you support Debbi Mack’s Literacy Campaign as follows, here’s what you get:

Give $10, and you’ll get a paperback Lulu edition of the New York Times ebook bestselling novel IDENTITY CRISIS, signed by the author AND delivered to your mailing address. NOTE to international backers: extra charge for shipping may apply.

Give $300, and you’ll get to meet the author for coffee at a Baltimore-DC area cafe or restaurant that’s mutually convenient, AND all rewards listed above. NOTE to international backers: I’ll give you the books when we meet. You’ll have to pay for transporting yourself here. Ha ha ha …

I wish I had a real one of these. Oh, well.

I wish I had a real one of these. Oh, well.

And, from today’s post on Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar, two articles about attacks on children.

Connecticut school shooting.

China school knife attack.
