One of the times I was visting Hanlan's Point Nude Beach on Toronto Island, I took this photo on the Ferry ride between the island and the city. I found the size perspective between the boat's short little post in the foregound and the humongous CN Tower in the background to be a fascinating visual flip. Perspective needs to be considered whenever we look at something. Huge and small are a matter of perspective, and perspective can be deceiving as in this image.

Read this article

and be stupefied by the brilliantly idiotic philosophy within.

Here's my response:

Perhaps they should have banned KEN JENNINGS from playing anymore on Jeopardy! since he kept winning over and over and over and over....

The kid excelling at the game of baseball could have made him a role model for the other children and given them something to aspire to. Instead, the idiots who banned the kid for pitching baseballs too well, went for what President George W. Bush has called "the soft bigotry of low expectations."

"GOD'S GIFT TO ME OF OCD" by JTK.CA

"GOD'S GIFT TO ME OF OCD"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) to the point of being retired on Disability pensions, but I am happy! God made my brain work the way it does for his own reasons. If I didn't have OCD, I doubt I would be the artist, poet, and photographer that I am. So, I don't want a cure. It's taken me 40 years to figure out how to live with this brain. Now I'd like to enjoy the next 40 without beating myself up over what the world considers a Disability. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life!

Normally these posts are "my" creations. As you'll have noticed elsewhere here on http://JTK.CA I do some moon photography. This one is NOT mine, but I wanted to send you to the NASA image because it is rare to see (at least vaguely) the crater patterns on the Dark Side of the Moon.

Yes, it's a very Pink Floydesque experience!

"THE NUMBER 23" by JTK.CA

"THE NUMBER 23"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"THE NUMBER 23" starring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen is my favourite movie. It's a psychological, numerological thriller, in which Jim Carrey's character is seeing the number 23 everywhere he looks.

Since seeing "THE NUMBER 23", which I now own on DVD, I have noticed that I was born in a number 23 year, 1967. 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 = 23.

Anyway, what sparked this blog is that tonight's been a strange night with the number 23 chasing me around. I bought a bag of Doritos Cool Ranch chips and a bag of Crunchy Cheetos. I noticed when checking the expiry dates, they both expire on September 23. Then I realized 9 is the month number of September, and 23 is connected to the number 9 because the numbers 2 and 3 are in the equation 3 squared (superscript 2) equals 9. Then I got home and turned on The Weather Network. The time on my cable box was 8:23 (significant for the 23, but also because 823 on the phone keypad spells my middle name TAD). When the next local forecast came up on the screen, it said that the latest temperature reading at 8 PM was 23 degrees Celsius.

I've often thought of getting a custom phone number, since 823 is a local prefix for phone numbers here in Guelph (pronounced "Gwelf"), Ontario, Canada. Several years ago I became excited when I realized 823 spelled my name TAD and I could potentially get an 823 phone number that ended up spelling TADPOLE! Last time I checked, no one had the number, but I think I'll stick with my current phone number anyway, since my current phone number has the number 23 in it twice.

1-519-780-1057

780-1057 is a perfect number because
7 + 8 + 0 + 10 + 5 - 7 = 23.

Also, if you take the
1-519 at the beginning and add the final number 7, you get the equation
1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 7 = 23.

I'm insane. Just go with it ;-)
