All Right Mayor Ford!!!!

All right Mayor Ford!  The 6 million dollar lawsuit launched by George Foulidis has been dismissed. I am not a politician so I can freely say that the Boardwalk deal stinks to high Heavens. Odd how when we finally get a working mans mayor the rich fatcats are constantly looking to oust him. I am a Chevy man, but I will always vote FORD!!!! http://www.cp24.com/defamation-lawsuit-against-rob-ford-dismissed-1.1093383

Big props to Morgan Freeman and Jamie Foxx for speaking out

Right on Morgan and Jamie!!!! Maybe if more entertainers spoke words such as this then the media would change how it glorifies the wrong aspects of these tragedies. As for the culprit may have had mental issues – well, he was sane enough to PLAN and implement the act – so I see no reason to use any mental issue to even attempt to JUSTIFY what he did. Here is Morgan’s statement: Morgan Freeman’s statement about these random shootings…. “You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here’s why. It’s because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Becau

This will peeve a lot of you off, but I say' "Oh Well"

Humans are violent by genetics - left overs from the hunting & gathering era's. Unfortunately our world and technology has evolved beyond the human minds capability to really understand what we have created and what we have become. We are still but infants in the universes. Although we have the intelligence to create all this technology and cities, etc. we have not evolved far enough as a species to control human behaviorism and honestly comprehend what technology is doing to our society, We need to backtrack a bit and bring back some of the old 'proven' ways of society. Discipline and respect are being lost in the hustle and bustle of just attempting to live in this fast paced society. Our youth need the guidance of "The Elders" and the wisdom that follows it. Severe crimes need very severe sentencing. Many will disagree with this point, but having lived on the streets since the age of twelve (43 years ago) I can honestly say that many o

WEAPONS = LIFE SENTENCE

Sad state of affairs for society when you have a man in China stabbing twenty plus children and an idiot in the U.S. shooting kids. THERE IS NO REASON IN OUR MODERN SOCIETY FOR ANYONE TO OWN A GUN!!! (with the exception of very remote areas where hunting is necessary to survive) There should be a mandatory life sentence just for carrying one. Now, everyone can get mad at me all they want, but I speak from past mistakes. Thirty years ago I carried and used one and I did my time, but in all reality I should have done a lot more time then what I was given. If you carry one eventually you will use it and it is always an innocent person who gets hurt. It is amazing how the killers family always say, "He was such a loving family guy." Sure, towards his own family, but not an ounce of passion for the victims of his actions. It is time we brought faith back into the schools and educate our youth on compassion for fellow man, consequences for their actions and most of all R

What's On My Mind???? Let Me Tell You!!!!

What's on my MIND???? Here, I will say it. First off, God Bless the family of the now deceased nurse in Britain. I find it very disturbing that for the sake of a few idiots getting a chuckle this poor woman's life has ended. It is high time that media, paparazzi and such stop harassing, over analyzing and tormenting people just to get their ratings up or to make a few dollars. Maybe if they would put their effort into more newsworthy circumstances tragedy's such as this would not happen. There are far more things happening around the world that the media should be camping out and reporting then the effort put into the Duchess having pregnancy difficulties or Justin Bieber not getting a Grammy. We are all paying too much attention to the wrong things in the world. While the media is chasing the Royal's or some teenage "so-called" star - they are not reporting the true tragedies happening. What about the hungry homeless and even the hungry with a home

Mayor Rob Ford

OK Kiddies, I am about to either peeve off a lot of people or have them agree with me on this matter. Let’s begin with Mayor Ford…….. does anyone else besides me find it odd that he is being attacked by the so-called “rich”.  He has been constantly scrutinized and picked apart by every opponent he faced in the election – may I add, the election that, we, the people of this great city, voted him Mayor of? How many thousands of dollars were spent on this bull fodder? Money that I can assure you Mayor Ford would gladly have allocated for much better things, such as feeding the hungry, dealing with the gang violence or investigating how ONE restaurant can get such a long lease of public property to build a restaurant that is not “beach friendly”. Second point ……. How many thousands of dollars will now be spent obtaining a new mayor? I wouldn’t be surprised if you see Mr. Madger or one of his associates run in the next election. Long before Mayor Ford was elected I

Father of bullying victim Amanda Todd gets tattoo to commemorate daughter | CTV News

As my followers know I was quite taken aback by the Amanda Todd suicide. This evening on CFTO News I saw this and once again was brought to tears.  Blessings to her father – such a memorial to her life by adding some of her ashes to the ink used in his tattoo – forever a part of him. It was not only her suicide, but also that of the many other youth that gave me that final nudge to stop procrastinating and get The LightHouse up and going. I hope to be fully operational by February 2013 at the latest. If The Creators be willing – much sooner. Father of bullying victim Amanda Todd gets tattoo to commemorate daughter | CTV News .

Mother Mary Comes To Me

“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.” Five out of the seven times I have been legally dead I encountered my mother, Mary. What is so coincidentally strange about this is that all my life – since the very first time I heard Let It Be, I always shed a tear as soon as the first chord was played. I was twelve when I first met my mother. Then ten years later I met her for the second time, only to lose her the next year via murder at the hands of her alcoholic knife wielding boyfriend. As devastating as this was, my life was changed that day ……. the horrific reality of watching Mom lay in intensive care carved up like a suckling pig drove all the violence from my soul.  The Creators work in mysterious ways.  It was then that I decided to change my lifestyle. A laying down of arms, so-to-speak. Looking back I now know that this was the birth of The LightHouse – Walking With Dann. Although, I was unaware o

Saddened By The Times

If it was not for the goals I have set in my life and that of The LightHouse , I would be so depressed and saddened by the violence that Toronto has been plagued with lately. Two more shootings of youth again today . One yesterday, a woman murdered the day before that. What has happened to modern society that we live in such barbaric ways? We all claim to live in the best of times, but I find this to be an untruth. We COULD live in that type of time, but we have become lost in our quest for the fastest wealth, the “keeping up with the Jones “, sexual conquers and living a life centered on our individual self. Society is supposed to be governed by citizens who work together for the betterment of all. This is not just a utopian theory, but also, a genetically implanted characteristic. Human’s are a “ society ” based species. We have hunted, gathered and protected each other since the beginning of our time. We do not do that anymore. Our lives are continuously being bombarded

Irritated Nipple Syndrome (again)

As fall has arrived I am once again Plagued with the horrible INS, so, I am re-publishing a blog I wrote in November 2007 It seems to my contorted malformed outlook towards this self labeled existence your homo sapient species declare as humanity that as “Atomic Mother Earth” has another one of her annual menopausal temperature episodes, you are dancing in cohesion to her moods and wants. If my memory does not fail me, then, I recall that not just twenty-four hours ago I was strolling the Danforth in a T-shirt and blue jeans. I recall my endocentric annoyance at the sweat gathering in the furrow of my brow as I glinted from the warm brightness of the summer comparable sunlight. Yet, on this bright Thursday morn, “Atomic Mother Earth” has decided to plague me with the dreaded “Irritated Nipple Syndrome” . My whole life I suffered from “INS” . The symptoms of which is a debilitating and very sensitive soreness of the good old human teats. There is nothing ever so p

Toronto’s Cabbagetown Murder

All murders are SENSELESS , but this one was just WRONG! Anyone who knows or even thinks they may know this piece of garbage that stabbed this poor woman to death, please, please speak up !!!! My mother was murdered in 1981 and not one day has gone by since that I do not shed a tear for her. Now this poor woman has left behind four children and they are sitting in Northern Africa with no idea why this has happened.

Time for Learning, Time to Teach

I cannot understand how society does not see that we are in crisis. Society is flawed as it always has been. The exception here being that in past generations we repaired the ‘broken’ aspects by working together and teaching and learning from such. The youth of today, (the adults, also), are being robbed of their most important years. The culprit is modern “new age thinking” and technology. In this so-called modern age we have put so much stress upon youth that they must become adult thinkers before they even know what adulthood actually is. They are bombarded by media of every sort. The ballistic payload being “dress this way”, “idolize this behavior”, “buy this now” and other such campaigns as the consumption of alcohol, drugs and partying. Sex has become just that – sex – sex is an animal act, humans should make love and definitely, young teenagers do not need to be sharing their bodies casually with numerous mates.I know of so many kids that have had so many sex r

The Amanda Todd Tragedy

This is a very sad picture of what social media and cyber bullying and our schools have become. Being on this planet for five and a half decades now, I shall never understand what is happening to our society. We let our children dress like adults, sex is meaningless, friendships are disposable, morals are nearly non-existent, schools can no longer teach right and wrong, family life has been distracted by texting and video games, parents cannot discipline their own children in fear of losing them.  I pass by a high school four times each day and I see 13 year old girls wearing less clothing then your average stripper. I see huddles of youth smoking pot right outside the school. I am sad - sad for my sons generations and what they will experience as adults. Did it start when teachers and parents lost their power to discipline? Or was it when we allowed the inmates to run the asylum? Maybe it was when we discarded the dining room table and replaced it with eating in front o

Sometimes It Is Hard Not To Be "Hard"

In less then two weeks I shall reach the young age of fifty-five - five point five decades of wandering through the mist of life. Of strolling over and beyond the mountains of experiences and existence within the realms of these so-called 'modern' times. In many ways I am glad that my lives have been so hard. They started on October fifth, 1957 when I was born a 'blue' baby under a blue moon to parents too young to comprehend what my path through life would entail. Baby Dann 1958 For those who are in the know, these were days of confusion. Rock and roll had just been born, most males were either emulating Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash or James Dean. My father was a Cash man. My mother was James Dean. I did not stand a chance. At six months my mother decided that because I resembled 'Al Capone' I was going to be too hard to handle and thus abandoned me. With my older siblings in tow she gathered all that she could and escaped my father and I to the wi

Seven Reasons To Keep On Dancing

So, May is about to end and we shall begin the journey into June with all it's fine weather and the Light of a summer sun. May was rough this year. The tragic death of a close and dear friend, Sheena Eve (missing you dearly) added to the emotions that I have been wracked with these past few months. The incompetency of the government in the way they deal with monetary issues - funny how if you happen to owe them money you must pay right away, BUT if they owe you, "The cheque is in the mail". The Creators took our Sheena . I overstand why. A few times in your life you will be Blessed with intertwining your path with that of certain unique and truly precious souls. Sheena was/is such. Never from her mouth would you hear an argument or unfounded bad word. Her aura was violet, her eyes were peace, tranquility and joy. When she walked into a darkened room, the Light would follow - she was a "Sparkle Bitch" ( a term she used herself). Her physical self has left

YoungBloods

I find it so interesting to spend time with not only my only children, but the offspring of my friends also. Being over the half century mark in age, I have discovered that as much as young people can learn from my wisdom, I, too, can learn and GROW from their knowledge. Youth is the time of development whereas the human mindset is operating as a very expensive Apple Computer. Information is gobbled, chewed and processed at an incredible bitrate. Without the maturity and learned behaviors of us, the "Elders" of society, it would/is very easy for this information to get processed in a way that can destroy a young life. I hear many acquaintances utter that they cannot 'help' their child. Sometimes, they ask not for help, but rather an ear willing to hear their words. I take pride in carefully explaining the complexities of modern life to my sons. I teach them that every picture not only has a thousand words, but also a thousand interpretations. No one opinion is wr

Springing Into Spring With Humanoid Satisfaction

I love the spring - it brings upon me the opposing feel of Autumn. All is fresh and anew. The dampness of the rains are infused with the sweet aroma's of fledgling plants. Their tiny sprouts ruggedly forcing upwards through the muddy soil, so as we all can witness the powers of Atomic Mother Earth and the beauty She can give. With the launch of this new season, one must also initiate the sequence of self-adjustment that allows our physical and mental selves to regroup and refresh the mindset. Time should now be taken to analyze ourselves in order to set in place the necessary wisdom and gained knowledge to assume the role of maturity. As an adult human it is the persona's duty to walk boldly into the void of so-called modern society and allow fellow mankind to learn and emote the knowledge gained in the winters of our minds. We are both teacher and student in this path of life. Other soul's lives give unto us the wisdom gained from their mistakes, victories and life le

I am back, Dann, just as I am

So, I am back and have begun another walk down this virtual highway. Life is full of change, some is spent, some is welcomed - all is part of life. Many changes have crossed my life path this past year. I have matured and aged like a fine wine and now I hold within my hands the opportunity for a better path to follow. The Shadow knows - as he always follows us. There are new friends, old friends with new ways, soon to be friends who bring joy and love. There is new business, old business and business yet to appear. Life is hardest when you are led to believe it is easy. If not for difficulties why would we bother living it? I love life, I love mine and yours. We were meant to share life with each other. I share mine with the world - via the virtual and existing worlds. Soon I shall be back in full swing of wisdom and knowledge and allow you all to once more "Take A Walk With Dann". Wait for me....here and there.
