With or without hat

.
I've drawn this a while back...on the graphic tablet, but I couldn't make up my mind on the hat. Maybe you'll have your own opinion...

A Horsemen of the Apocalypse ?

.
I found this video related to the riots in Egypt...
A phantom caught on camera? Lens or lights reflections?



Or just a sign of what is to come? The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - are described in just eight verses of the book of Revelation, which is the last book in the bible.

Rev 6:7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The horse is yellow green like a dead person. This horse sums up the work of the other three i.e. kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

I won't comment anything...just expose you the facts...so, make your own conclusion. Or, let's just see what happens.

Time Travelers?

.
I found this information while searching I don't know what on the internet...And I found it interesting. Evidence about time traveling?

The picture is definitely strange...and I won't try to depict it - as, I am for sure no expert...
They say this picture has been taken in 1940 -1941 at the reopening of the South Fork Bridge after flood, somewhere in Canada...
Look at the man with the sun glasses - he doesn't seem
to fit in the crowed of that time...But is he really a time traveler? Modern sun glasses and a modern camera (or not)?

It seems others have tried to depict this picture and it is authentic, even if me personally I couldn't find it exposed on the Virtual Museum of Canada (maybe you have more luck).

Maybe the guy wasn't really a time traveler - maybe he was just a young man way ahead his time in fashion practices...How about the glasses?

The glasses to protect against the sun started around mid-18th century, but they became more popular after 1929 when they were mass produced...So, who knows, maybe they are not that modern after all...

The second so called proof of time traveling I found is from a Charlie Chaplin movie...



This one has been depicted as being a hearing device...not a cell phone. Why in the world would a old lady hold a cell phone in around 1920 when they were invented in the `80 and of course she didn't have coverage...or maybe she had some special coverage with her friends time travelers...because they were coming from the distant future...

Another example may be what it looked like a 19th century watch found by archaeologist in a grave of the Ming dynasty in Shangsi, southern China. There are two explanations to this…maybe they were not the first to open the grave, even if they assumed so… Or maybe, the predecessors were smart enough to build a watch.

There are other videos of people pretending to have time traveled…in an organized way or by accident (just YouTube it). These two – are kind of funny:



I like this one. A premonition or just a coincidence?



The thing is there are also notes before this video/audio recording technology about some strange encounters…with people that lived in a certain time and accidentally encountered in their very familiar surroundings ( like house or garden) a person that passed by shortly ( a few moments) and pretended to be from a different time and that was his or her house, garden etc.

Possible or not…Hoax or not? How about Stephen Hawking’s time travel paradox?



See you in the future past!

What have you become? (Reconnecting with long distance friends)

.

I’m getting in touch lately with a lot of people that I’ve lost contact over the years – do to this social media thing. It is interesting to see how these people that you used to play with, or that you went to school with in your first years have evolved and how they react to this re-connection. This made me think about a few things.
Is this something you really want –getting in touch with a bunch of old buddies and acquaintances? How comfortable are you with that?


When you grow up and you move on with our lives, you leave behind a lot of things, not only friends or family or things, but maybe also bad memories or embarrassing moments that in a way or another made you the one you are today. As I mentioned before, in a previous post – we all have our little secrets. Is not that you are going out there and expose them publicly…or that your long distant friends will start digging these moments…Or maybe is just a picture or an embarrassing memory…Or maybe you feel ashamed of what you have become.

What are the first things that you look at when you get back in touch with these people…
1. Where do they live?
2. What schools have they attended?
3. What is their profession?
4. Are they married or single?
5. Have they changed physically a lot?

And then what do you do? You look at yourself and start to compare. You remember the dreams or ideas that you shared with that person, the memories…It’s like you are giving points and see who of you two “made it” better in life. Are you serious about this?

Aren’t you supposed to be just happy you met an old friend? Not only this, but you may start juggling about in complains that you are not where you should be because this and that... And then you don’t even want to get into discussions with that person because you feel uncomfortable. You may just keep them in your list or even delete them and hide forever in your depressive shell.

Of course, there is an opposite of this – You realize fast enough that you “made it” in life and you start bragging about yourself to the point that you become disgraceful to the other person. Or…you just can’t get it how people still can feel happy if they “didn’t make it” in life.

Ok, let’s clear the waters now!
First, people change – one may have been wick and now is stronger, one may have been stronger and now looks wicker, even their ideas and ideals in life change.
Second – you have no clue what the other person has been through with all the details for all those 15-20 years you lost contact with them just by answering 5 questions. Or the other person doesn’t know what you have been through.
Third – your “made it” may not be the same with their “made it”, even if at a certain point maybe your ideas were the same.

Maybe you won’t have the same relation as before, it may be worst or better; maybe even now – that you have reconnected you are not available for them all the time. So, let the enmity aside and be happy you have the chance to even be again in touch with lots of people that passed through your life…and they are just a click away for a simple polite and smiling “How are you? It’s so nice to have some news about you!”
