ManMade Light


I am sitting by a window and it is a little past 4:00 AM and I’m looking out onto a few streets with the full moon looming ahead. These streets are pretty busy during the day and yet at this time of night, they are dead. There is not a single thing moving in sight. I can go out and walk these streets but it would be unwise and dangerous. At this time of day people lose reason in their minds and laws of our society no longer bind their morals. The people who wonder the streets now are thieves, murderers, and they are broken inside. Were it later in the day these streets would be safe enough for a child to walk down! It’s Crazy how a change in the hour can affect a street so drastically!

Another thing that changes this time of day is how they are lit. Man made street lamps illuminate them now, but they are still dark and cold. But then there is Gods Light. During a later hour of the Day Gods light, will bring these streets to life once more and warm the air and make the streets friendly again. It’s interesting how a change in the hour can affect a street so drastically.

Dare I walk these Godless streets at this hour? Or shall I let the people go to sleep before the sun rises just to awake in darkness again? If I don't, who will?

Picking up Chicks.

Picking Up Chicks
The art of picking up chicks has been a mystery since the beginning of man. sure, there are books on the subject but if your anything like me, you don't have time to sit and read some incredibly long tome. For anyone longing to be successful at picking up chicks but needs a simple plan to follow here are five easy steps.


Step 1: THE PLACE
Go to a place where chicks hang out. Obviously you can't pick up a chick if there are no chicks around you. The place you go will depend on where you live. In some parts of the country it could be in a store while other places it could be at a fair or a carnival. Do some research to determine where the chicks are in your area.


Step 2: THE DECISION
Chicks are never by themselves so you'll literally have to pick one out. Every chick is different so make sure you get a good look at all of them. You can tell right away which one is for you by watching their behavior patterns. They range anywhere from extremely tempermental to incredibly needy. It's important not to spend too much time choosing. After all, they're just chicks!


Step 3: THE LURE
Once you've decided which chick you'd like to get, than you need to figure out what will attract that particular chick to you. Some will be attracted to shiny things while others will respond to food. Some are so desperate they'll just come at the sound of your voice. Try any of the three methods until one of them works.


Step 4: THE PRO
Take someone with you who knows what they're doing. Picking up chicks is not as easy as it looks. It always helps to have someone with you who has actually been successful at it. They'll be able to help you with you with your timing and make sure you aren't geting yourself more chick than you can handle. Remember when in doubt, the pro always knows.


Step 5: THE PICK UP
Follow these directions carefully. Begin by getting the chick's attention with one of the lures mentioned in step 3. As soon as the chick begins moving towards you, place the lure in your palm and slowly lower your hand until it touches the ground. After a few minutes the chick should just hop right into your hand. When it does gently lift the baby chicken to your face and rub against your cheek.
