Beleaguer hope's motto of Popular and Right with a sprinkle of Ruinous

Dictionary.com Word of the Day....
Beleaguer - To surround with troops; besiege.

I would guess this would go well with places like the Gaza Strip. Israel has beleaguer the Gaza Strip with love and caring and wonder. They really care about that spot so much they would rather it be destroyed than share it's existence with anyone. Oh wait they are only attacking the Hamas. That's right because those that die that are not Hamas don't count because Israel didn't mean to kill them. Scratch that out.

For a small country Israel is surely a huge bully. It has nothing to do with the fact that America is in its back pocket and everything to do with it thinking it's in middle school. When will it graduate and move on to high school where it runs away and thinks it knows best. The next step is to grow up and be extremely self righteous and pompous because that's what twenties are all about...early twenties, that is.

Chosen picture because look at it? Isn't that just the most depressing name ever? I feel beleaguered just by looking at it. Whoa is me.

On this day in 1975...
"Wheel of Fortune" debuts on NBC-TV.

And it's still on. It's old like....well...there's really no other game show to compare it to since it is the oldest. Right? Right.

The reason for the picture....really? You really need me to answer that?


The Five Quotes of the Day

I'll be damned if I want most folk out there to do unto me what they do unto themselves. - Toni Cade Bambara

Why would you want to be treated just like a self mutilator? They are insane and if they were to treat you the same as themselves that would mean they'd have to self mutilate you and you'd have to accept it because all they are doing is, of course, following the proverb.

"Hey you need not to slice me with that there knife you knave!"

"I'm only doing as the proverb says."

"What is that? Kill your fellow man? I'm bleeding here."

"No. Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself."

"What the hell are you a self mutilator?"

"Exactly."

"Just my luck." *bleeds a lot more*

Make sense not wanting to have to deal with the likes of someone like that. Just think if you were around someone that likes to be peed on..or pees on themselves? Yeah. Talk about an unwelcoming shower.

Why the picture? Because look at it. It's perfect. People vote hatred are doing unto others as they do unto themselves. It's kind of sad and prfound and hopefully the link works because that's where I got it from. The link should link the picture to the page.


The hope of the world lies in what one demands, not of others, but of oneself. - James Baldwin

If the hope of the world was left to the "other people" nothing would get done because everyone would be pointing to it being that OTHER person's deal. But with this quote it shows that we can make changes in this world by changing ourselves. It sounds far more difficult than it actually was.

We demand greatness from ourselves and we preform such greatness either by doing something fantastic, because of our money and such, or we do something that is small but powerful, because of the lack of money and such. We project good then we attract good and we end up encouraging other people to be good. We are hope.


Everybody's private motto: It's better to be popular than right. - Mark Twain

In being popular you get to almost always be right. It matters not how mean you are. In being plain right you'll become unpopular because even though you are right your stance might be on something the selfish people want to keep as part of their lives. In order to do what is right you're going to make enemies of others because right doesn't mean agreement. Normally right means that those that disagree will state they will do as they please what's it to you?

Instead of being the center of attention because of a disagreement. The motto points out that people would rather be the center of attention because of their popularity that translates into many people liking them and their style. It's almost akin to being worshiped for just being. Those that want to be popular are a bit creepy as a whole.

The picture was chosen because that headgear he's wearing would not make you popular. Avoid that headgear if you want to become popular....please.


The time is always ripe to do right. - Martin Luther King Jr.

There is never a wrong time to do what is right. People allow fear to control them and remove them from doing what is right. Such as saying they are sorry for hurting someone's feeling, even though it's been a while and they are truly at fault. Pride is hardly ever the right choice. Between pride and being humbled...the right choice is being humbled. Of course that is easier said than done. But if you think of what it is you'd like to do you will most likely do it.

So think that you want to be humiliated and you will be. It'll be a grand thing for those that like to laugh at you and, this is the truth, it'll be the right choice. *waves hand around* You know it's true.

Picture is chosen because the logo looks great as well as the place looks like somewhere I'd want to just chow down. But also it's humble pie. Eat some. It's 'always ripe to do right.' Remember that.




Everything that frees our spirit withholds giving us control of ourselves is ruinous. - Goethe

This would be like having random sex. It may feel free but it also doesn't give you control of your actions. It's your emotions controlling you. You've given in to the horrible feeling of not getting what you want from someone you liked so now you have to get what it is you like from those you can barely stand. Just to get yours you'll do it with anyone and you'll tell yourself that you're a sexual being and this is a great idea but everyone knows the hollow feeling and that's the feeling one feels after they finish getting what they want....that's how they feel when their spirit is freed.

You need to have control of yourself and random sex isn't having control. Emotions should never control you because then you do things you later regret in life. And those that can't regret their actions are those that are too prideful and I would suggest you look at the quote prior again. ha.

If you let yourself go what happens? You get fat. So why allow yourself to have so much 'freedom' and feel loose? You're only inviting an STD here and an STD there....STD everywhere oh you got something in your pants and it sure the hell ain't cool.

Picture chosen because that bus has the phrase on it. Look at it...and look at them...they so have crabs and the clap. How could they not? Dirty hippies.


RANDOM THOUGHT CORNER

I think I really did give someone my good day today. I feel really groggy and tired and low like if I were a swing I would be stopped right there in the mud ditch that's always where the feet skip about to stop the swing from a swingin'. The only reason this will be worth it is if the person I gave the good day to actually got the good day. Silly as it might sound I would really give away good days to allow others to have a rest from their bad times. One good day can sustain someone days afterwards.

I chose that picture because it shows what I hope happened to the person that got my good day. Even if the smile lasted for only an hour. I think that's a good and heathy change from yesterday.

I miss Surivovr.
I miss Heroes.
I want to see Into The Woods again.
I like last.fm.

I'm tired.

Abstain from Creation of Dark, Uncomfortable, Resentment

Dictionary.com's Word of the Day: Abstinent

You know what that means? Abstaining from self indulgence. Normally used in coloration with sex. You could use it with other addicting habits such as drinking, drugs, banana love and termite eating. There's lots of self-indulging things out there. There's even self-centered thinking, binge sadness and retroactive anger. It would be nice if certain drivers would abstain from many of their bad habits: ie. driving.

I decided to use this photo because it's ridiculous. I don't think calling it COOL virinity will actually make it cool. I could sit here and state that homeless people smell cool until I'm blue in the face and that's not going to make them smell like Cool Water. No. They smell like human flesh that hasn't had a shower X amount of days and if one factors in the heat they'll get even something worse buring up their nose hairs.

What happened on this day January 5 in 1982?

Arkansas judge rules against obligatory teaching of creation.

Obligatory means required, for those that have not had that as their word of the day yet. So Arkansas decided that it was not necessary to force one belief upon someone else's mental well being. That's great thinking.

Now if only they could do that with boring classes. Also they could do that with facts that become self important for no reason other then because people tend to want to waste lots of oxygen into carbon dioxide conversion in talking about it. And that would be Evolution. People profess how important it is. They fail to state why it's that important to the well being of us as a human race. I've never heard of how Evolution has saved someone from dying.

The knowledge of Evolution has not saved a single soul. Hope can sustain people through the Holocaust. Evolution discussion can sustain you in a state of great sleep. Nowhere near the same.

Chose that picture because I look at that and I think OMG that looks like something I can make by snaping my fingers randomly for five minutes. I bet you can make one too. Do it.


QUOTES

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. - Mark Twain

This one is true on many levels. There are certain people that people just like and think they are so good and are amazed when someone else doesn't like them. Maybe they know something you do not about their dark side. Though it states that people don't know the dark side there are those times when such a dark side is explored by those brave enough to do so or those that accidentally end up seeing what they had not intend on seeing.

What happens is one of two things: either the finder of the dark side becomes grossed out as if they themselves don't have something to hide or they weigh what they know against how much they like the person and continue to like them none-the-less.

Are they worth knowing even though they have this shady side?

Chosen picture because no one has a picture of the dark side of the moon. If they did you couldn't really see it, now could you? Wow...look at that dark circle. That's boring. So I did something that's close to boring but not if you're a fan...I settled on a Pink Floyd cover.


The same objects appear pleasing or displeasing, as the circumstances in which we see them are comfortable or uncomfortable. - Fluke Greville

Our perspective alters with our mood. If we are in a cheerful mood and someone does something that's silly we could find it funny. If we are in an irritable mood and someone does the exact same thing we could find funny, we might then be so annoyed we yell at them. If we are in a sad mood and they do the same thing we could laugh, but only slightly. If we are in an angry mood and they do this we could scoff and shoot them in the face, cover the body with leaves and pretend that we didn't see them lying there even though we are inside and there are no real trees around.


If better were within, better would come out. - Thomas Fuller

It's a different version on trash goes in trash comes out mentality. I believe that if you are a good person your actions will prove it to be right. If you are a bad person your actions will show that. If you are a person that respects relationships, especially your own and others, flirting isn't something you claim is harmless. If you flirt and claim it's harmless then really you're lying to yourself as well as to the person that is annoyed you're flirting and what is happening is trash (your self deceiving stupid thinking going in) is not only within but coming out every time a sick, disgusting sexual taunt flies out your mouth. Flirting is like being putting a worm on a hook and fishing. The only problem is when the person actually takes the bate what happens is you shred their insides because it was all a lie. Not only do you hurt them, you hurt yourself because what you thought was a joke wasn't. Being polite while talking bad about that person when they are not around is also sucking in trash. If someone is listening to you talk bad about someone you praise when the right people are around...all you're doing is harboring trash while spitting it out. Nice is different than good. You're not good if you can't say good things, but you can be nice if your are rotting inside.

Got this picture because look at that wad of paper he's tossing away. Guess what it will be when it comes out of the trash can? That's right. It's going to be a brand new car! Exciting.


It's stepping very low to get very high. - Marquis Halifax (Politics)

You ahve to promise things you can't fullfill and so one group will eventually be mad or if you do it wrong; all groups will have something to be mad about. You eventually sell yourself in order to have the power which your heart desires. Is such a sacrafice worth it? We have a whole house, senate, President and his cabinent and judges, governors, mayors to prove that as true.


Suffering cleanses only when it's free of resentment. - Eric Hoffer

There is a character in Frost/Nixon that is so pissed at Nixon for no reason other than what he has heard about him and not from first hand experince or being at all affected by what Nixon had done. Maybe the war did affect him in some way or fashion but that was not what he was pissed about. He was pissed about an event that did not have anything to do with him as a person or even a citizen other than he just didn't like someone who wasn't in his party lying and taking money. That kind of resentment harbors illwill and hate that only eats the inside of a person and it ruins them more than it ruins the person they claim it is for. I can't even understand how that feels to have that much dislike for someone. It makes zero since to me.

I do not think everyone should like everyone, but I don't think that harboring such dislike is a wise decision or even one worthy of contemplating. You're giving too much energy to someone you claim not to like by continuingly disliking them.


VEST

I want to have a whole collection of vest. I like vest and if I had enough I think I would wear them often. But as of right now I only have one.
I pick this picture because the vest are cool. I like vest and I like people that like vest and I especially like people who make vest look cool. Sweater vest are not vest. Please look to Demitri Martin to explain why. Thanks.


You should read the story "Fleece as Black as Coal".

It has nothing to do with coal and everything to do with sheep. Hopefully coal dosen't bring up bad Christmas memories. Sorry if it does.
