Best Spam Comment Ever

This made me laugh…to have this much time on my hands…

Your job as a future mother is to learn the god’s ways and to help your child understand despite the negative reinforcement and conditioning of today’s society. Without consciousous parents the child will have no hope, and may even exaserbate their disfavor by becoming corrupted in today’s environment.
Your ultimate goal is to fix your relationship wiith the gods and move on. You don’t want to be comfortable here, and the changes in Western society in the last 100 years has achieved just that.
1000 years with Jesus is the consolation prize. Don’t be deceived into thinking that is the goal.

The gods tempt people for which they are most weak. Artificial Intelligence will create desire in people’s minds for the following sins:::
1. Alcohol
2. Drugs
3. Preditory “earning”
4. Homosexuality
5. Gambling
6. Something for nothing/irresponsibility (xtianity)
7. Polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny (Islam)
Much like the other prophets Mohhamed (polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny) and Jesus (forgiveness/savior), the gods use me for temptation as well. In today’s modern society they feel people are most weak for popular culture/sensationalism, and the clues date back to WorldWarII and Unit731:TSUSHOGO, the Chinese Holocaust.
It has been discussed that, similar to the Matrix concept, the gods will offer a REAL “Second Coming of Christ”, while the “fake” Second Coming will come at the end and follow New Testiment scripture and their xtian positioning. I may be that real Second Coming.
What I teach is the god’s true way. It is what is expected of people, and only those who follow this truth will be eligible to ascend into heaven as children in a future life. They offered this event because the masses have just enough time to work on and fix their relationship with the gods and ascend, to move and grow past Planet Earth, before the obligatory xtian “consolation prize” of “1000 years with Jesus on Earth” begins.

The Prince of Darkness, battling the gods over the souls of the Damned.
It is the gods who have created this environment and led people into Damnation with temptation. The god’s positioning proves they work to prevent people’s understanding.
How often is xtian dogma wrong? Expect it is about the Lucifer issue as well.
The fallen god, fighting for justice for the disfavored, banished to Earth as the fallen angel?
I believe much as the Noah’s Flood event, the end of the world will be initiated by revelry among the people. It will be positioned to be sanctioned by the gods and led for “1000 years with Jesus on Earth”.
In light of modern developments this can entail many pleasures:::Medicine “cures” aging, the “manufacture” of incredible beauty via cloning as sex slaves, free (synthetic) cocaine, etc.
Somewhere during the 1000 years the party will start to “die off”, literally. Only those who maintain chaste, pure lifestyles, resisting these temptations, will survive the 1000 years. Condemned to experience another epoch of planet’s history for their ignorant pursuit of xtianity, they will be the candidates used to (re)colonize (the next) Planet Earth, condemned to relive the misery experienced by the peasantry during history due to their failure to ascend into heaven before the Apocalypse.
Never forget:::It is not a house of Jesus.
If this concept of Lucifer is true another role of this individual may be to initiate disfavor and temptation among this new poulation, the proverbial “apple” of this Garden of Eden. A crucial figure in the history of any planet, he begins the process of deterioration and decay that leads civilizations to where Planet Earth remains today.
Which one is it? Probably both:::
One transitions into the other, allowing the gods to wash their hands of obligation to their Chosen One.

You are faced with a lifetime to work and prepare for your next chance. Too many will waste this time working, etc.”

I usually get the random adds as spam–but someone put a lot of time and effort (or copying and pasting) into this.  It’s only fair I publish it.

60 Months Ago It All Started

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley / 1 Comment

I started this blog.  It started as an adoption blog, because it seemed everyone who was adopting had a blog and as a writer it made sense.  I have met some amazing people through this blog (this is the second iteration of my blog).  It is different now than it was originally.  It has evolved and is currently in a state of flux.

It’s not a just a mommy blog.  I write about education and race and politics and society.  I also write about my kids.  I don’t write much about my marriage (as that is personal and private–unless hubs pisses me off) and I don’t write much about my family. This blog is my own personal space and I don’t have as many readers as I would like–those days I shoot up to 200 visits a day make me smile, but the visits are usually much much much less than that and I’m okay with that.  I didn’t start my blog to have it become a job or a way to support my family.  I applaud those who have the time and talent for that.  I started this as a place to share my thoughts on infertility and my adoption journey in hopes of finding others to share the journey with and I have made some amazing friends (who know who they are).

I can’t imagine not having this space.  I have considered it during those months when life seemed so crazy and busy that there was just no way I could ever find time to write here.  But, I could never let it go.  I couldn’t say good-bye.  This space is like that best friend you can b.s. with and share life’s crazy moments and the hard moving ones too.

This blog as seen me through many milestones:

Noah’s Adoption
Zoë’s Adoption
Noah becoming an official citizen
Graduation from Grad School w/Master’s Degree
Quitting work
Going back to work
Gaining Weight
Losing Weight
Gaining Weight
Losing Weight
Vacations
Century Rides
Etc…

I love my blog and the friends I have made.  I know there are many of you who read and don’t comment–but in honor of my 5th Blog Anniversary–Please do stay, have a glass of wine and say Hi.

Welcome Back

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley / 2 Comments

I have been very absent from blogging as of late and  I miss it and I need it.  Christmas was amazingly wonderful and my heart is bursting with happiness and love.  Things over all are good.  Starting next week I am going to be chronicling my weight loss journey/struggle to be healty.  I know, I know…who wants to read that.  But this is something that I need to do and I need to make sure that I work through my issues and choices.  It is really important to me that I take charge of this part of my life.  I am in charge of all the other parts of my life but this issues have evaded me or I have allowed them to evade me and conquer me.  I will no longer play the hostage to my issues that allow me to rationalize that eating whatever I want and saying it’s okay.

So, this new year will bring a new me.  I am going to Hawaii in May for my 10th wedding anniversary and I will be in much better shape than I am now.  I want to own all part of my life and I haven’t lately.

School is good and the end is in sight. One more year of actual course work and then it is dissertation research time.  I cannot wait to be done.

Well, I hope everyone has had a happy holiday–whichever ones you celebrate and hope that everyone has a happy new year.

I Should Be Working

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley / 1 Comment

but instead, I am sitting outside on a gorgeous fall morning at Starbucks drinking a skinny vanilla latte after working out with my personal trainer contemplating life.  Well not so much life in general–more specifically my life and how much longer before I will actually be able to fully live it without the demands of being a student, working 3 jobs to pay for my kids schools and for the life we lived before we had kids and realized how expensive kids would be.

I know quite a heavy topic for an early Saturday morning…

Last night we went to the Trace Atkins and Toby Keith concert.  We were spoiled and go to sit in a VIP box–which is a great way to see the show.  I will openly admit here to being a huge country music fan.  It all started when I moved to Santa Barbara and got a job at a restaurant in the mountains that use to be a stagecoach stop.  Country music was popular with many of the regulars who worked the nearby ranches and with a few of my fellow waitstaff who became good friends.  I haven’t been able to kick the habit and it really is what I listen to most often.  I have been wanting to see Toby Keith–because he just seems like he’d put on a great show–and I have to say that he did.  It was a really great time and a nice way to end a week from hell that had me running in 8 different directions seemingly every day.

The kids crashed at grandma and grandpa’s house and hubby is at home in bed nursing one hell of a hangover.  I didn’t drink–as I have too much to do to be compromised by the effects of alcohol.  I should be reading rough drafts of memoirs for my online composition class.  Can I just say they are horrible and it really is impossible to teach writing online. I need to be face to face with the students and we need to be able to have a real discussion about what writing is and how to do it better.  Online is so hard.  But that’s okay because when are they going to have to write a memoir?  That is what I keep telling myself.   The writing itself isn’t terribly horrible.  If I am honest it is the style and that is what I would like to impart on them.  But can’t do it through the computer.  If I had more time I could podcast a lecture, but really let’s be honest–how many are going to watch it?  Three maybe four out of 26 and it would be the four who do really well and don’t necessarily need it.  UGH!

I am done whining and hope to be able to find a few minutes at work or in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep because Quantitative Statistics is haunting me to blog more.  I miss writing and blogging.  I do this for me.  It is nice to have other people read and have an “audience” but that isn’t really why I started this blog and it won’t be why I keep doing it.  So, if you are reading…I hope you are well and I promise to try to get here more often.
