The Luminous State Of The Network
This is the world of our BLOGS; our BLOGS, boy - BLOGS! Back in the Year of Our Lord two-thousand and four (2004) this very blog saw the Light - for the very first time. And the Blogosphere saw that it was Right! It was the first, the only, the one blog that comprised it all: it saw, therefore, the whole gamut of emotions those turbulent years (2004... 2005... 2006.) that the author of this blog, one Luminous (\ô/) Luciano TM, had to go through back then... The Year of Our Lord two-thousand and six was some kind of a major year; a year of rebirth, a Renaissance, um Nascimento de Novo... it's hard to explain... Suffice it to say that, it was that year that saw the first expansion take place: the network was born. This blog - this very Luminous Blog - took on, de facto, the title of TLB Prime; as in the first, of many. A new blog was created to contain each emotion, some of which are a far cry from being of the Luminous order, we will admit - we are only human after all, aspiring to be of The Light. Though we are all, essentially, spiritual beings living an earthly, material, corporeal experience - the flesh is so weak... Anger -whether it is righteous wrath or not- Pride, Envy, Lust... all of those sins, deadly or capital or of whatever order - do not belong here, not on a Luminous Blog. Hence the appropriate terrains to lash out and take out the anguish were created - you know them well: they're on the list, below... The network came to encompass many more blogs, by sheer association - blogs penned by others, friends, associates, allies... some are more mercantile in nature than others. This network is, oddly enough perhaps, not at all about that, by the way: it doesn't matter to its founder if a single virtual penny (or bitcoin) is made throughout any given day since its inception. This is all about emotion, feeling, sharing. Humor, in an oftentimes dry wit type of delivery, is essential here - far more than any profit made. The only profit sought, throughout those years, could be the very basic human need expressed in song recently, for the masses it was Beyoncé who did it - less obviously, it was Goldfrapp (for us ''luminousites'' or ''l.o.v's'' accustomed to these parts of the world wide web, that is... Remember the L.O.V.s? Luminous Online Visitors - since 2004! Dig it? All of it? We are sure you do - so very, very sure.)
After thirteen (...) years, therefore, we thought it was time - time to pause and reflect on what was built here, out of thin virtual, e-air... What was blogged, what sometimes is (time permitting) and what will be... All the highs, all the lows... The Good Fights. The petty grudges, with little minds from other parts of the web, most notably - the reason for a lambasting blog, for example, lies right there. The foundations that have been laid, in great part thanks to Blogger... Google... Chrome. Whether it was by design, manifest destiny, or sheer coincidence - but there are no coincidences; Luminous Experience has taught us that...
So here it is, once and for all: THE TLB PRIME NETWORK!

And the associate blogs - which were all here, up until very recently, on the extensive sidebar features that we used to have here, on TLB PRIME... One of those elements had corrupted code that was redirecting all the L.O.V.s we would get to another website... decidedly very Asian, to say the least. Unable to pinpoint the exact source of this problem, we decided to simply take out the whole sidebar code - at least temporarily. These associates of the Luminous Blog deserve to make a comeback here, though - sooner than when we finally get back to re-install an extensive sidebar here...
....
... shockingly, some of those links are no longer *live*...
And since we lost the precious image on the sidebar as well
(even before the code problems became apparent, verily...)
here's our timid attempt at restoration...

A Luminous Example!
How fitting it is that such a luminous example
Two of my all-time favorites,
It helps cope with the lack of sunshine - indubitably!
LikeTelevision Embed Movies and TV Shows
This Day in History - June 1st
Starring - Helen Keller
Directed by - Luminous Anonymous
(2001) - Color - 1 min
The LikeTelevision™
History channel
proudly presents,
This Day in History - June the 1st
On June 1, 1968, Helen Keller died at the age of 87. In infancy scarlet fever had left her blind, deaf and mute. When she was 6, her parents appealed to Alexander Graham Bell for help and he referred them to a semi-blind teacher, Anne Sullivan, who taught Helen to speak with an alphabet communicated by touch. She graduated from cum laude from Radcliffe and gained recognition as a writer. To Mark Twain, her life and accomplishments were equal to Napoleon's. Tirelessly helping others with similar afflictions, Helen Keller left a legacy of light in the face of darkness.
Mark Twain couldn't have been more RIGHT!
Kudos, too, to Mr. Bell (yes - THAT Bell, of course! A kindred spirit of Tesla's, surely...) and of course the astonishing Anne Sullivan, without whom Helen Keller wouldn't have become MIRACULOUS... and so LUMINOUS!

Now Here Is A True Call To ACTion! :)
IT'S *ACT_ÜBER* TIME!
***This month!***
(and every other month!)
***This month!***
(and every other month!)
Major League Baseball has something
they cleverly called "actober"...
Red Sox Nation, more specifically,
calls for "Soxtober" this month...!
And who can blame them -
with the wondrous things that
the Boston Red Sox do...!
Me, I will be daringly different on this day
and offer thee the chance to, indeed -
"ACT_ÜBER"!
;)
For it is estimated that there is about
10 years left
to "do something"
about the sad state of this planet -
yes, only ten short years are left now...
What's in a decade, right?
Well - here's what could be in it:
10. WE STOP WASTING FOOD -
never throw away leftovers again
***in your lifetime***
instead, give it to stray dogs,
stray cats, heck, the occasional
genuine wildlife animal we may
encounter, when driving on
less traveled roads...
Any extra bread you have,
dangerously close to
its expiry date,
soak it up a bit in tap water
and deposit it outside -
birds and squirrels
will appreciate...
(Adding seeds & peanuts
to this makeshift mix
is good too!)
That's what us individuals can do:
for chain supermarkets
and restaurants out there -
here's an idea:
***feed the homeless***
and the needy, wherever they are.
Dispatch somebody
for delivery of all those
extra plates of the day
that "cannot be sold anymore"
***for free***
and do it all
IN SECRET
- so business is not hurt
in the least way...
9. WE STOP POLLUTING -
whether it is with
toxic emissions
CO2, other wastes.
CFCs, noise,
or even with light...!
We cannot do this overnight
"cold turkey"
but we CAN DO IT
so do as Nike says
and JUST DO IT!
8. WE BEGIN CARING
and never more do we
simply "turn a blind eye"
to another's plight...
7. WE BEGIN DARING
to be the catalyst
for the desired changes...
6. WE STOP LAYING THE BLAME
on others - and start sharing it
because we are all part of the problem
And so we must all be part of the solution too
5. WE BEGIN TREATING
THE ENVIRONMENT
as if it was our own home
And I am sure that no one
appreciates living in
a contaminated pigsty!
4. WE STOP NITPICKING
about borders and jurisdictions
and we ACT in the best interest
of the people, of the land,
of the world
3. WE BEGIN, therefore,
THINKING GLOBALLY
and no longer see nor focus
solely on the differences
but rather gaze upon the
many similitudes
FOR THE GREATER GOOD
and for God Told us to
2. WE STOP EVIL IN ITS TRACKS
by striving to do good always
even if it curbs our own
natural tendencies....!
Can you do that, folks?
Can WE...?
Because if we can,
that will be when...
1. WE BEGIN A NEW AGE
one where bliss is the goal.
Bliss - not profit
If they do all that, my friends
(and my foes too!)
we will truly be ACTING ÜBER
and not merely acting haughty
and vainglorious!
;)

AN UBER SMILE, TOO!
Don't pollute.
Don't be wasteful.
Don't abuse nature.
Don't be a leech.
Don't be a parasite.
Don't be wasteful.
Don't abuse nature.
Don't be a leech.
Don't be a parasite.
BE LUMINOUSLY PRODUCTIVE!
not the opposite!
More on that
in the comments here...
Feeling inspired, yet?
