2012 Mayan Sacred Tree

The Mayan civilization were amazing timekeepers and astronomers and devised a calandar that ends in our year 2012 in December. The Mayans believed this to be The unveiling of the Sacred Tree and thought the pathway to the underworld opened at this date.Regardless of what happens we should be in for an occurence of astronomical proportions. It is important to remember that their calandar was cyclical and this date was not the end of time but a new beginning.

Movies

I am a big fan of movies and have decided to talk about Renegade first. Renegade is a great movie based on the comic strip Blueberry by Moebius. The movie is well done and is best described as a psychedelic western. It discusses themes such as the spirit world and I loved the visuals. highly recommended.

Mysteries

Life is filled with mysteries and for my first post on the subject I will discuss The Dogon tribe from Mali. People of the Dogon tribe in Mali live miles from any other civilized city, other than the famous Timbuktu. Despite their isolation, this tribe had been in posession of astronomical knowledge that was, for hundreds of years, far in advance of Western understanding. Two French anthropologists, Dr. Marcel Griale and Dr. Germaine Dieterien, reached the tribe in 1931 and studied them for thirty years, eventually earning their trust. They were entrusted with the secret tribal lore of the Dogon, which included some fascinating information. Long before Galileo made his discoveries in Europe, the Dogon had knowledge of the rings of Saturn, the four major moons of Jupiter and they knew that the Earth is a planet and that all planets orbit the sun. But what was most amazing was their extensive understanding of the Sirius binary star system, which was unknown to the West until 1862 when it was spotted from the world's most powerful telescope. The Dogon knew that Sirius was comprised of two stars: Sirius A and Sirius B. Sirius A, a bright star we refer to as the Dog Star, was to the Dogon the most important star in the sky, as they believed that it was here that life had originated. According to tribal lore, they were given this information by a race of extraterrestrials calling themselves the Nommo, who originated from the Sirius star system. Legend tells how the Nommo arrived on a space ship accompanied by fire and thunder. These aliens were terrifying in their appearance, being fish-like, and according to tribal lore, released huge quantities of water on the Earth in which to live. The Dogon referred to Sirius B as the Nommo Star, and also spoke of a mystical third star, Sirius C, which to date has not been discovered by modern science. The tribe called this star the Sun of Women, and predicted that it would reapper in the sky when the Nommo once again reappear on Earth.

Cartoons

I love cartoons as well and for my first post I will discuss G.I. Joe. As a child I loved this show , I had several toys (which unfortunately were destroyed in a house fire when i was 12)and was even a member of the G.I. Joe fan club. The picture I posted I drew myself. My favourite Joes were always Snake Eyes , Zartan , Roadblock , The Crimson guard twin leaders Tomax and Xamot and Spirit Ironknife. Recently the Joes have returned to Comics and The new Cartoon Sigma Six which iguess is pretty good but i liked the original characters by Larry Hama the best.

Wrestling

I am a huge fan of Wrestling....I attribute it to the fact that my father used to take me when I was young . I love the various colorful characters and yes i know its scripted.So each time i post i will discuss a wrestler , this time its Bob The Beast Sapp. This guy is huge in Japan...well huge in general he is 6'7" and over 300 lbs. He has appeared in movies as well such as Elektra and The Longest Yard. He has competed in Mixed Martial Arts matches , not just Wrestling , and suffered a deflated eye from Mirko The Crocop . He has challenged Mike Tyson to a boxing match which has not yet occured (personally I think Iron Mike would kill Bob Sapp).

Comics

I am a lifelong collector of comics and graphic novels i love the medium. I read all sorts of different comics and will discuss some of my favourites. For my first posting i will talk about Love and Rockets by The Hernandez Brothers. I own all their books and enjoy their artwork and storytelling very much. You really can identify with the characters almost as if they were real people. So much so in fact that i get a little sad whenever i near the end of a graphic novel , because i know it will be a good wait until the next graphic novel.

Music

I am a huge fan of all sorts of different music and will talk about a different artist each time I post. For my first post I will talk about The Greenhornes. I saw them opening up for The White Stripes , and really enjoyed their style of music. It reminds me of songs from the British Blues Revival. I liked their music so much I purchased East Grand Blues their newest CD. I also found some tracks on the net and was equally impressed. I highly recommend taking a listen to their stuff.
