It is the time of the year to get the garden ready for the planting time. I have been busy planning and turning the garden soil for another year of vegetable gardening. This year I plan to grow a bigger and better garden than last year.
A two week planting will create a longer harvest time. I look forward for the harvest! But for now it is time to get everything ready. The manure will be next! Spreading it where the garden needs it. And some special tonics to give a boost to the new seeds and plants. Also the lawn will get a dose of the tonics! Nice green lawn with the garden.
I will have varieties of plants such as Roma tomatoes along with Rutgers tomatoes and many differnet variety of beans! I am not just doing myself. My brother and my nephew will be assisting in the work! As the work goes on the garden I will have some pics later to show how things look! So be patience!

Feeding America.
This morning I went to one of Feeding America food truck to receive some food. I go to the these locations at times to help keep my food supplies full. My Bridge card for food does not provide enough. The people I meet and talk to are people that relate to me about the problems they are faced with. The hunger and lack of assistance to receive Food Satamps from the State. Many make just enough income that they receive little or no funding from the State's food assistance program.
So they resort to the food truck provided by FeedingAmerica. http://www.feedingameica.org/
The truck do provide food! But is it enough? I noticed that that there are no can items, such as canned soups, vegetables nor meat. Bread, cakes and yogurt can not satisfy the needs for groceries! Regualr bags of groceries that they need!
Our Food Pantries are taxed! And many have already had their limit for the month. They need more! How do we supply the Food trucks with more than just yogurt, cakes, cookies and bread?
The major West Michigan stores could donate some canned goods. So that the families can make healthy meals from the food they receive from Feeding America, instead of left-over foods that are provided.
We need to show these families how to grow some vegetables at home in a small garden plot. This would provide fresh vegetables. The Food Stamp program the State of Michigan has allows the families to buy vegetable seeds and plants to grow their own vegetables. We just need to show them how to create a garden plot and to plant the seeds and plants!
I am going to plant a bigger garden this year so that I will be able to provide some fresh vegetables to others for free, along with the vegetables I sell at my veggie stand. I can not do it alone! My brother will be apart of it , along with my nephew. This still is not enough! I hope other home gardeners will join me, along with the farmers of the State of Michigan to provide to others and to the Feedingamerica trucks of Michigan.

He, Who is I. Continue..
It was the 15th of March 2007. A sunny and cold morning. When I had laid out the plan to secretly clone myself. No one needed to know, not even my family nor my friends would have any idea. This society would call me "insane" to ever think of such a plan and say it is against God. I can hear the legal and religious debates going on. Well, I figured to use my DNA. Firstly, it is my idea, and secondly, I was a nobody to society. i'm not going for fame nor fortune. Just that I wanta copy of myself and to see if I can do it. For now I'll have to do alot of research to find the scientists and doctors that might be interested in helping me.
Where I had to check is on the Internet for them thatwere doing the research into cloning. It was just a beginning and a hard one at that. I was given only some anonymous tips without success. Four months of grueling hits ans misses and nothing... In the mean time, I had read and studied, through the various theses of well-known scientists and doctors on and about the ethical and religious opinions they had about cloning.
I held my opinions and never expressed them on the net. I had to keep them to myself for now. I could not have any hinerances stop me! i was determined to go through with the cloning, somehow, somewhere, someway. I was a random combination of my parents' DNA structures that had created me. So why was I not allowed to take the same sequence and copy it? In essence, to have a child of myself.
I continued to use the Internet for the research. Which I inquired the scientific commnity. There were neither replies nor responses! It was like an area not opened to discussion. "A No one home" sign hanging there. then! On the 15th of September, I received a reply. The date I will never forget. It was six months exactly after the beginning. I had opened the e-mail and I noticed the encryption. so I uncrypted it. All it stated was a GPS location, date and an entrance code. There was no return address to say who it was from.

He, Who is I. Part one
What is cloning? A copy of oneself. What would society think, if someone wanted to clone him or herself? What would the outcome be? The physical character and traits would be the same, but this individual would have different experiences and memories of life.
If I was to clone myself. Then I would be raising a son of myself to watch myself grow and learn. It would be he, himself. A true and perfect image of me. The name I would give him, he would use to have freedom from me. His own identity and not quite his own.
The Story begins...
May 2nd 2008
This is the day I have been waiting for a long time. The dream has finally come true. Anew life. Iam so excited to see myself be born. For the moment, it would be that, but it is another completely different person.
My responsiblility is to be there. From this birth and throughout the years for my child. Maybe to the end of the project. I have to remind myself alwaysthat I will not live forever. This child will make it seem like I will live on. But this cannever be entirely true.
This story doesn't begin here. It began on this day I decided what I wanted to do how determined I was to do it..

The Land!
Hail, O'Isreal! Hail!, O' Palenstine!
You both are on the same coin,
Isreal on one side, Palestine on the other.
Why do you fight like uncontrolled children?
With no care towards each other, nor
towards me, which I am there.
When will there be a solution among you?
To end the death and destruction of this land?
When will you realize, it is time?
For you to settle your conflicts, settle your lives.
To put an end to the harm, which you are causing,
Each others' brothers, sisters and children!
In the Land that is truly owned by none.
For I am the only one who takes claim!
I am the Land, and I am in the land.
But...with so much blood-shed done.
There is no way to see non-violence
of this land through the blood stain.
This Land is for peace and harmony,
Not for dispute and chaos that is occurring.
This land has been always pure and non-violent!
When will you understand the pain?
When will the drops of blood,
stop falling onto the Land?

Lake Of Darkness
There I am in a boat ona lake of darkness.
Rowing in a direction that is unknown.
As I row, I try to find some bearing of where I am.
I notice that there is a lantern on a long pole to shine the way.
But it seems only that the light shines on the boat.
No reflection off the water, no radiating out into the darkness.
An errie feeling comes over me, from all of this.
That I am all alone on this endless lake.
How long will I have to row? Is uncertain. How long have I rowed?
Does anyone know? Here I am in a boat on lake of darkness.
Rowing in a direction that is unknown.
