It's was a good day.

Leisurely ride through Toronto to recover from yesterdays hard ride.

Enjoyed some sights in Toronto. Paid a impromptu visit to the ROM where I am a patron.

Yes, I was the old man walking around in bycycle tights. Once upon a time I would have felt too embarrassed to tour a museum in my cycling clothing but now the year I turn 60 I didn't give a damm.

So refreshing, liberating and feeling of freedom not caring about anything or anyone. Why did it take so long for me to get to this stage in life?

Reality is that is obviously lack of self-esteem and self confidence.

I know I am blessed to have had the life I've had so far. I have no complaints or regrets. Obviously my life wasn't perfect. In fact it was a very topsy turvy journey filled with both extremes of the highest of highs and conversely lowest of the lows (no one can imagine what I've been through). However I would not be the man I am today without having had the life I've had.

Everyone has a different journey through this thing we called life. Mine thus far has been a rollercoaster unlike anyone I know. Pretty sure it would make a pretty good movie (I am planning to write a screen play).

I sit now contemplating the rest of my life as I have many problems I need to to solve immediately. I should be very stressed. In fact distressed. But I am calm, relaxed and happy. No I am not on drugs nor drunk. I just have a strong feeling everything is going to work out. My little brother thinks I am delusional. Perhaps he is right. Only time will tell. I don't think so. Actually I know I am not.

The next month will be pivotal and the turning point in my life. I have a plan. I will execute it. I will succeed. I know it. I don't know why but things come easily for me all my life. It's like I have a fairy godmother who is watching over me and taking care of me. I am not crazy. Anything is possible. Nothing is impossible.

I believe that the life we live is predetermined. The book called 'Life of 이범식 Yi Bum S*k aka Brian Lee son of 이보영 Yi Bo-Young and 괸영히 Kwon Yung Hee was written on the day I was conceived.'

I was made by two people who were in love while making live to each other. I am blessed to have been conceived in this manner. I believe that it makes a difference to the life created. It just makes so much sense to me when I think about it.

The circumstances under which a couple copulate that results in pregnancy has to impact the embryo, the life that is created, the baby and person.

If my theory is correct it explains why criminals are criminals and good people are good people. I believe its mostly in the DNA of our ancestors.

This is the body language, words and tone of someone begging for a deal.

The art of begging.

The Theology of Action: Get Up, Stand Up ✊🌅
​Today, we celebrate the ultimate victory over the grave—a day of rising. But the message of the Resurrection isn’t just about looking back at a miracle; it’s about the active spirit of renewal that lives within us today.
​Bob Marley’s "Get Up, Stand Up" is the perfect anthem for this energy. It’s a call to move beyond passive observation and to manifest the power of "Life" in the here and now.
​Marley challenged us to find the divine not just "in the sky," but in our actions, our justice, and our refusal to stay down. The Resurrection teaches us that death and oppression do not have the final word—but we have to "stand up for our rights" to make that victory a reality on earth.
​The tomb is empty, and the spirit is moving. Don't give up the fight for a better world. Today we rise, and today we act. 🕊️🔥
​"You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time. So now we see the light! We gonna stand up for our rights!"

The Rhythm of Resurrection: Resilience in the "Government Yard"
​Today marks a global reflection on the theme of rising—the transition from the stillness of the tomb to the dawn of hope. While the historical and spiritual focus remains on the resurrection of Jesus, there is a profound, secular resonance found in the life and lyrics of Bob Marley, specifically in his 1974 masterpiece, "No Woman, No Cry."
​At its core, the message of this day is about the refusal of the human spirit to be permanently interred by circumstance. Marley’s anthem serves as a modern psalm for that exact sentiment.
​From the "Government Yard" to the Morning Light
​The song is rooted in Trenchtown, a place of systemic hardship. When Marley sings about sitting in the "government yard," he isn't just reminiscing; he is documenting a state of being that many would find hopeless.
​In the same way the narrative of Jesus involves a journey through suffering toward a transformative "rising," Marley’s lyrics acknowledge the "good friends we’ve lost" while insisting on the forward motion of the soul. The resurrection theme is found in the defiance of poverty: the "cornmeal porridge" shared among friends becomes a communal bread, a small but sacred act of survival that sustains the spirit until the sun comes up.
​"Nuh Cry": The Command of Hope
​There is a common linguistic misconception that "No Woman, No Cry" means "if there is no woman, there is no reason to cry." In reality, the Jamaican Patois translates to "No, woman, don't cry." This is a directive of hope. It mirrors the angelic message at the empty tomb: "Do not be afraid." Marley isn't ignoring the pain of the "little darlin’" or the struggles of the community; he is acknowledging them as a temporary state. By telling his community to dry their eyes, he is asserting that the current "tomb" of poverty and struggle is not the end of the story.
​The Gospel of "Everything’s Gonna Be Alright"
​The mantra of the song—"Everything's gonna be alright"—is often dismissed as simple optimism. However, when placed in the context of Marley’s life and the history of the marginalized, it becomes a radical act of faith.

Seriously they did not know this?

So now are you certain that Apollo 11 was shot in the lincgokt6 gjr6hid6 to hýdsg

The wait is over for the Artemis II crew. Their toilet is back in action and ready to go.

After pointing the vent straight at the sun for roughly two hours, the frozen blockage melted away perfectly. Mission Control confirmed everything with a smooth waste dump operation.

Backup Collapsible Contingency Urinals kept things moving without a hitch. The astronauts never missed a moment of their vital Earth observations.

This smart solar solution highlights why human spaceflight keeps pushing forward no matter what.

How do you think you would handle a surprise system glitch thousands of miles from home? Tell us your thoughts.

"They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated. We are unstoppable as a military force. Nobody is even shooting at us."

— The President of the United States. Wednesday, April 1st. (Fitting date, honestly.)

Fast forward exactly 48 hours:

✈️ F-15E? Shot down over Iran.
🛩️ A-10 Warthog? Down near the Strait of Hormuz.
🚁 Two Black Hawks? Hit during the rescue mission.
⚠️ F-16? Squawking emergency codes over the Iraq-Iran border.

But sure. Totally unstoppable. Not a scratch on us.

I've seen better air dominance at a paper airplane competition. At least those come back in one piece.

The most expensive "nobody is shooting at us" moment in recent memory — and one American crew member is still unaccounted for inside Iran right now.

Words have consequences. Especially when you say them two days before losing two warplanes in a single afternoon.

Pray for the crew member still out there. 🙏
