I believe in dragons. Not just the mythological dragons of fairy tales, but the dragons of reality. I believe that dragons and people roamed the earth together - each one hunting and killing the other for food or sport.

It is kind of weird that I think that way. I wasn't brought up in a home that believed dragons existed. My parents tried to get me to deny dragons. I have read lots of historical information and I have come up with my own beliefs. These are not popular beliefs. In fact, I am sure that many will come back and try to rip these beliefs apart. If just one person reads this and says to themselves "You know, it makes sense" then I have done what I need to do.

In virtually every culture around the world there is a story about dragons. The Chinese have theirs. The Japanese. The English. The Russians. Africans. Aztec. Australians (aboriginal). North American aboriginal. The funny thing is, these stories of the dragons are similar, but, different enough to show that there are many varieties of dragons. One translated book that I read (that was written about 6,000 years ago) describes a creature with a tail like the cedars of Lebanon. The cedars of Lebanon were about the size of many of the California red-woods. Can anyone tell me what kind of land-based animal has a tail long and thick?

I will let you think of that for a while - yes, I will come back to that question.

The days of Merlin and King Arthur might have become a bit of a child's story, but, it was based on a real person who joined all the warring groups of England into one country. The stories talk of dragons - fearsome creatures. Quests were formed to hunt these giant creatures.

Lochness monster (Nessie) is another fabled creature that lived in a very deep lake. People are still hunting for this fabled creature. People have seen it, described it, and yet, it is still in hiding.

Ogopogo is another fabled creature of the Okanagan area of British Columbia. Similar in description to the Lochness monster, again, living in a large lake. The stories go back thousands of years in the history of Canada's aboriginal people. The plains-people of Canada also have stories of giant beasts roaming the land.

Now - back to that question above. The answer is a creature that we see the bones of in virtually every museum of history. They show human-like people around fires wearing nothing more than animal furs. They show huge hairy elephant-like creatures called Mammoths. They also show artistic paintings of what the earth looked like thousands of years ago with something called a brontosaurus - a giant creature with a huge tail. Covered in muscle and flesh, it could have been similar to that of a "Cedar of Lebanon".

What I am getting at is that dinosaurs and humans lived together, and, that it wasn't a long time ago either. Not the millions of years ago like scientists seem to like to describe, but, thousands of years ago.

There is another book - a book written 2,000+ years ago that I also read a translation of. In it, it describes the last days of the planet earth. It describes visions so real that it was like the person writing it was transported forward through time. It describes dragons ending the world. It describes mechanical things that I can only think of being planes, trains, helicopters and sky-scrapers and elevators and such.

The way that it describes the dragons I can only believe that it is talking about dinosaurs - and the impact they have on our society today. Our whole world is powered by dinosaurs - without their permission, of course. Oil and gas are the basis of our world. That oil and gas is from the flesh of the dinosaurs. Alberta has a huge amount of oil - it also has a huge amount of dinosaur bones. Coincidence? I don't think so. Where you find some of the greatest amounts of oil you also find large concentrations of "ancient bones".

Look to the history of the people that lived on this planet. Read their "fairy tales" and you will find stories that match - if you look deep enough and with understanding. If you can get away from the scientist's "theory of millions of years" and read the real history passed down from father to son over thousands of years, then (and only then) will you have a real understanding of how dragons roamed this earth.

Guys – have you ever had a book that you love? This book stays with you, ages with you, gets wrinkled, scarred, left behind, found again and over the years you read and re-read the book. Sometimes, you might start reading near the beginning again, sometimes towards the middle and – you might even just re-read the ending.

But – have you ever had the book given to you again – maybe with a fancy wrapper? Or – maybe the book goes away for a little bit and comes back to you with a new cover? You look at your book and you see it is the same book – the same finger prints – the same wrinkles and scars. Does it really matter to you what the outside of the book looks like? It is the inside that really counts.

Women are those books. On special days they like to go out and get new clothing, or a new hair style, or – on very special days they might even put on some lingerie. Women don't seem to realize that a guy doesn't really care what they look like. Just like a good book – guys really don't care how damaged the outside is as long as they can still read the pages.

Girls – if you really want to dress up, do your hair, wear fancy clothes, do up make-up and such – do it, but, do it for yourself. Don't expect your guy to really care.

In the beginning of a relationship looks might get a guy to look at you. After you have been together for a few years quit trying to impress him with looks. Take care of yourself, keep yourself fit and strong. Impress him with your knowledge and abilities and your “lets just do it” because the devil might care attitude.
