Unusual Weird Stories

A Great Inexpensive Hobby for You

2008-07-06T04:51:00.000-07:00

What the heck am I talking about ?

http://kiva.org/

Kiva - it's an organization that lends to people in poor countries. It can become a great hobby for you as you can set up an account for free and for as little as $25 (which you can get back) you can help someone in a poor country and watch his progress.

Once the borrower repays his full loan (perhaps he borrowed $300 from 12 people) - you get your money back as a credit which you can cash in or reloan to someone else.

Why not check it out - it's awesome.

And here's a bonus for you, contact me at moonfish@eastlink.ca - if you do join, send me confirmation and I will make a loan in your honour (which I will tell to the world on kivafriends.org)

Have a Great Day,

Moonfish (formerly sakamato)

other topics which inquisitive minds like to ponder. These will be posted on Philosophy and Confess at htt://sakamato.blogspot.com in the days and weeks ahead. Will we succeed - not bloody likely. Will it be fun - sure hope soon.

Will shall explore the possible reality of Guardian Angels, Hell (does is really exist and if so, where - in reality or in the mind?)

Heaven, God (what is he/she or it or is God just a fabrication of man?)

Life after Death and Reincarnation

Do Charitable Acts strictly from the heart and with no ulterior motive come back to reward oneself twofold?

Also we will tackle the saying “What goes around comes around” - Is it just a saying or fact?

We will also continue to post stories here at unusual weird stories … so stay tuned.

The Likeable Murderer who “Popped His Bitch”

2007-02-19T07:01:00.000-08:00

Travelling across Canada on a Greyhound Bus Pass, you can meet some interesting people. My wife and I did just that when we were at the Sudbury bus terminal waiting for a bus to take us to Ottawa. Sitting next to us was a young man about 35 years old. Small talk ensued and during it, he told us he was on his way to Toronto as he had just got out of prison. That came as no surprise to me as he had amateur tattoos across his fingers. Said he did some time because he had “popped his bitch”. And to top it all off, he said he had been married several times and the woman he loved the most was the one he “popped”. There was a certain honesty and boyish charm about him.
Waiting for his bus late at night, he asked a lady to wake him when his bus was ready to go. He was tired and had had a few beers. Just before he laid down to nap, he said (to us) that she probably wouldn’t watch out for him and he was master of his own destiny. And sure enough, she had to leave the terminal in a rush and did forget about him. Sadly, I would think he is back in prison today as he did indicate he went “crazy” if he drank too much. A likeable scoundrel who obviously studied Prison Psychology 101.

Do Guardian Angels Exist ?

2007-02-18T08:12:00.001-08:00

Years ago, when I had little desire to continue living but no longer suicidal, I was driving my car to visit a friend. As I approached her house, I didn’t park in my usual spot which was on a street about 75 feet from her house, a street which was above her house - to the left of a hill (she lived at the bottom of the hill). For some unknown reason, I pulled my car to the right on the bottom of the hill and still had my gear shift in drive and my foot on the brake when - a large car came speeding over the blind crest of this hill, ripping off the guard-rails which separated the street at the left from her house below. The car landed on its hood and would surely have crushed me to death had I parked in my usual spot for I would have been directly in its path as it came over the hill. What made me pull my card to the side where I did not normally park? That event convinced me that we do in fact have Guardian Angels.
