l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...

If we can all agree that there is basic darkness  concealed in each and every one of us -  the opposite has to be true, too... right? Can we ''change'' anything, though  -most notably people themselves-  by, ah, ''actively seeking out''  the Light, that spark of the Divine,  in each and every one of them?!? That is what the ''Wayseer'' himself,  John Garret, proposes here: Brought to you by: the exact same organization behind this manifesto  seen before, elsewhere, on this very TLB Prime Network... And me, the one, the only, the Luminous Luciano, seeker of the Light who reflects it as surely as the moon reflects the sun, all of this makes me think of THIS OLD TUNE: +++

... AS SEEN -AND HEARD- ON GLOBAL! :-!

That name evokes sweaty black athletes that are far too tall for their own good, as far as sheer walking goes; or, perhaps, it gets mistaken for Hershey's - by those with an out-of-control sweet tooth... in advance state of decay, far beyond any dentist's ability to help, certainly...! But we are digressing - right off the bat, again?!? Today is the birthday of one of the world's most historically significant astronomer - her name is Herschel. Caroline Herschel. She is the first woman in recorded history to have assuredly identified a comet (a dozen comets, over time, actually) for the burgeoning science of astronomy! You may have seen her name on one of those comets that, quite periodically, dashes through the starry skies above - not as spectacular as Haley's, it can even be eclipsed by some asteroids - and yet... It is enduring; you can't take that away from it! For it is still out there... (However, it was last seen in 1939 - the year of birth of... Superman...

Who are those, comprising this very Latino version, I wonder?  The Frost King... Conchito, or chita, winner of Eurovision 2014...?!?  And... ah... the 3rd one might be T'Challa, aka BP? (He is set to get his own movie, too  - just like that other four-color king...) Him, yeah -  you know him! Or ''you only think you do...''  as they alluded to, back then  in the early days of  the PAD era... To those in the know... ahoy!  But that's another story!  All we can say, at this time is this: we certainly don't have the Three Kings  that we used to... in golden days,  long gone by... And NO - we don't mean Clooney and his cronies!  DUH.

Many are those crusty ol' uncle types pouting out there, this summer; they have been having doubts and expressed outright disgust and contempt over what Warner Bros. has done to their old favorites time has pretty much forgotten: the Men From U.N.C.L.E. - Illya Kuryakin and Napoleon Solo. And, one has to wonder, looking at the evidence (and, yes, we have bothered to watch the film, too) - can these old geezers who double as fanboys still, after all these years, be blamed in the least? The review of this Guy Flick will be unveiled on another blog, at another time (somewhere, here, on this vast, and ever luminous, TLB Prime Network!) but, for now, let us just ponder along with the fans over said evidence in this sordid affair , indeed...! Huh? Who are you?  I'M Illya Kuryakin! well... it's HERE, actually - cry UNCLE already!

There are a lot of reasons why  a web surfer could be found to be  just a bit puzzled, these days... Or, maybe  -just maybe- it is all  a hell of a whole lot  about  nothing indeed. Now, do not dare call this  ''Seinfeldesque''  in the slightest way...! Luminous Has Blogged! +++

Aye, we have it on good authority that, today, is BOTH DoUGHnut Day - and Chocolate Ice Cream Day! Feel at ease in combining the two, today: while boycotting the FIFA! ;-) And thanks, Google,  for yet another inspiring Google Doodle there ...! :-p *lol* The kick-off is on June the 6th - but the doodle still came out on the 5th, so... ...

As many of you know, an ''Easter Egg'' has become synonymous with hidden wink-wink kind of thing inserted anywhere into a film, book, video game or any other sort of piece of fiction there can be...  Fanboys (and fangrrrls - certainly not implying here that they have fangs, no; just character - in spades.) all eagerly seek those out in everything and anything that comes out and, so far, they have always been rewarded as what started as a mere tiny bit of vindication , a long time ago, has now grown to become standard practice indeed. Hence, without further ado, here is my Easter Egg: You don't see anything?  Really? Maybe that is because it is an extremely special Easter Egg... !  Hmm? Didn't expect that, hmm? And indeed it is, as it bridges the gap between that new fad  ( oh, qu'elle est fade, dis donc! Elle ne passera point le test ultime du TEMPS ... But that's all French to you...) AND THE TRUE MEANING OF EASTER - YESSIR! It is as if the co...

Behold, all ye faithful - a veritable  Christmas Miracle : a movie made this very year  available for viewing right now  on the venerable YouTube! Now spend the next 90 minutes or so  pondering this question: is this merely a Canadian movie  (hence the why it is available for free) or is this really a bonafide Christian film (pro-Christian, we mean) - one with an agenda! And the agenda would be... well, putting The Christ back in Christmas ! Succeeding in this endeavour,  in this secular day and age,  would be nothing less than a miracle indeed! Now watch the movie: Directed by: Terry Ingram Screenplay by: Joseph Nasser  Starring:  Allison Hossack Aaron Pearl Dan Payne Luminous Rating: Three Stars And A Half out of five! ***

Last year, I had chosen a different blog altogether  in order to participate in this thing - this year, let us just ponder the question asked,  indeed - and, hey, whattayouknow ... I have got a blog just perfectly set for  the task at hand here...! And I've had it for years, too... (But that is another question...) #Inequality  what is it, for you and me?  First and foremost, it is a bad word, all right;  one that shouldn't even be, any longer,  in this civilized world of ours - and yet  it endures,  in concept as in fact. There is inequality between every bracket of society,  pretty much: be it genders, races or religions -  depending on the geographical location  and various other factors,  one or several can and will be  advantaged while the other(s)  will be severely oppressed. Why so much inequality? Why?  Our society appears to breed it.  ...

Friday The 13th   *and*  a Full Moon too...! WOW... It's ''double your fun'' time, hmm...? Wiccans, witches and assorted creatures of the dark side  are all jumping for joy over this ''event''... For it so rarely occurs indeed, that the next one should be  only in 2049... If the world still spins around...!  Personally, I always thought  Jason Voorhees would have been  so much more interesting  were he to be revealed as  a werewolf, too... Now there could have been no doubt have THAT would have ended: no kids would have escaped THAT summer camp...! But let's face it:  the above GIF was most probably concocted  to laud an entirely different Jason's howling-est turn -  Momoa . So, we're pretty much back to square one, then -  and all we can hope for, one day, is that they'll waste  even more celluloid on this ''un-saga''  so that we can see Voorh...

If the following doesn't play  you know who to blame:  Makes me you wanna cry, eh? No? After all, what's so ''happy'' about  chalking one more up on the countdown to... ah... oblivion? But that only applies if  you are devoid of faith,  the proper perceptive powers of things,  or plain ol' luminous sight! Because... That should apply to everyone: anonymous or luminous , yes! ;-)

Jagr We just couldn't score today. That's what you love or hate about hockey; games like that. We weren't able to score and it was just perfect game by him. Like baseball, it was just a perfect game. Sometimes you don't know how that happens, but it just happens. — New Jersey forward Jaromir Jagr on Calgary goalie Karri Ramo after the Devils were shut out by the Flames 1-0 on Monday night Actually...  Isn't it absolutely normal  to see flames engulf devils...?

Women are, primarily, mothers - right? They're our mothers, our leader figures, our bosses! Whether chauvinism and sexism lash out repeatedly, it does so out of frustration for we truly are living, in fact, in a matriarchal society, folksies!  Never have a second's doubt about that. ..! Who's the boss over at Google? If it's a man, he knows all that well and green lit the truth to be told, via an umpteenth doodle here: If it's a woman - well, blow your own horn while they can hear you roar, hmm?  Yeah! Stupendous work on thy doodle -  once again, Google! If only Gmail followed suit... We usually would take this opportunity to run an extensive, drawn-out list of all the women we admire in the world - past, present and fictitious - but that would be over at our brother blog/sister site The Luminous Blog ... but we have neither the time, nor the energy for that here, we are afraid!   Mama will be understanding...! :-!

Here is what this Dale dude down in Florida had to say after trading away the winning goaltender from the memorable 2011 Stanley Cup Finals - and acquiring, in a separate trade, the losing goaltender from that very same memorable 2011 Stanley Cup Finals... You know which one it is - the one that produced the most ridiculous riots seen this side of Montréal morons rioting because they actually managed to steal a first-round series they didn't deserve to win, two years prior to that or something... (We forget, ok? Or we try to...Sue us!) The one, in definitive, that produced this most memorable romantic shot of all right here: Photog: Rich Lam - 2011 Recouped by Getty Images  Now old news... Betcha they aren't even together anymore; for that is how fickle true canucks really are! But that's another story... But back to the funniest quotable nhl.com has ever posted in its life: QUOTE OF THE DAY It is huge. He's a big name down here and it sets ...

Some other blogger of renown felt inspired by the demise of the year to put together his list of thirteen music albums released in the course of said year that he deemed worthy enough (and the thirteenth there  was... drum roll please... drum roll some more... drum roll a little longer... drum... bah - enough of that already!  It was Lily & Madeleine. WHO... you ask? Exactly. But that's another story...) Cross-starred lesbian lovers of the 70s  or cross-eyed cloned sisters of the new millennium?  We don't wanna know... Oh, what a feeling to finish number 13 - you must be jumping for joy after that, EH? It got us thinking, though... You know *us* - anything and everything will get us thinking...!  It was true in 2013, it was true all those years before that most ominous year *and* it will be true throughout 2014 and beyond ; we can assure you of so much! Thus, why not compile our own lists - right here and right now - regarding 2013's thirtee...

Those of you who have checked out some other blogs o'mine,  such as   The Loquacious Blog   for instance  (or have been privy to my Vimeo videos...!)  those  will already   know   what this is all about:  a Luminous Challenge  to a series (quite possibly neverending, verily!)  of grueling-even-though-choreographed  confrontations inside either  a squared circle,  a fifteen foot-high steel cage  or just any dreary parking lot, really,   as long as it is all captured on film...  Those who have been challenged  are so numerous - as numerous as the sands of polluted beaches  and as countless as the nincompoops  making up the masses around the globe...  indeedy!  Those types include,  in no particular order, REALLY,  the likes of:  Lufisto  Gourrrrrgen  Paki Primo  Les Chiens Sales...

WELL... NOT THE EGYPTIANS,  THAT IS FOR DAMN SURE!!! Now, whoever put this diagram together -and shared it on FB- clearly  had an agenda: he or she chose to represent similar stuff in order to prove or impose his point - which is a definitive no-no in objective scientific extrapolation, which is all this should be here, really. The deliberate presentation of one specific style of pyramid - the step-pyramid, to name it - is to bring one and all to embrace that this durable method was used by three different but equally prone to be logical races separated by long distances and with zero means to have communicated back then, thus no ties whatsoever...   But what races do we speak of here: the direct ancestors of the Mexicans were weird chicos that self-destructed in delusional rites and senseless alliances with Spaniard bastards who promptly stabbed them in the back (on top of contaminating them with previously unheard of viruses in the Americas!)   The foref...
