Jettison Massachusetts Change Faster Never Be Content Dune

Dictionary.com's Word of the Day...
Jettison - to throw goods overboard to lighten a ship or an aircraft in distress.

You know the Earth is in major distress. What should we do? That's right...jettison certain people so that we, as a human race, can live longer without being held back by stupid people. How do we decide who to jettison? That's easy. No we do not draw lots. What we do is we get rid of the entire Iran Government, every single Palestine person who thinks it's a great idea to attack Israel, every Israeli who thinks it's a great idea to attack Palestine, Russia's government, the people who think the E.U. is a fantastic idea, United States Congress and then only elect people who are between the ages of 20 and 45 to be Representatives (once you start to wrinkle and look old you're outta there no matter the age...stop smoking), protesters who are not peaceful, KKK, Black Panthers, anyone who thinks their country is the best, Global Warming Goons, Pedophiles, serial killers, drunk drivers who don't feel sorry for their mistake, people who smoke pot not because of illness, PeTA, The Big Three Car companies in the US, any Union that is except writer's union and actor's union, Curency, Hamas, people who think that blowing themselves up is a great idea, peopel who state stoning is a great idea, people who have their guns not in a locked area, people who are bullies in school, people who are bullies online, people who abuse power, people who don't like people who eat meat and finally people who talk in theaters.

The world will so be a better place. I promise you that.


On This Day in 1699...
Massachusetts holds day of fasting for wrongly persecuting "witches."

Uhm...wow that's just...stupid.



The Five Quotes of the Day...

Everything is connected...no one thing can change by itself. - Paul Hawken

It's like the price of oil. It raises over there in the Middle East per barrel and we get higher gas prices. Oh wait...no that's wrong that's just greedy people rising prices it has nothing to do with the price of the barrel. It's like a sick child going to school and getting other children sick. He changed now everyone else gets affected by his change. Though this change is very bad that is not always the case with changes.

It is possible that Obama being President will bring about a good change. It is fact that he will bring about change period. Because he is a different person than Bush and therefore he has different ideas so change is inevitable. But with his change of what the country will be like he will change everyone else. Whether it's good or not is a totally different story that will come in time.


The older I get, the faster I was. - Charles Barkley

This quote makes me laugh. People age the slower they become because their peak was years prior. This is just a humorous way of stating it. I laughed. You should laugh. Unless you've become so slow you are now in rewind compared to years prior.


You never caught him acting. - Frank Capra on James Stewart

That's a great testament on how well James Stewart's acting was. He was so good you didn't know that he was acting, you thought it was actually him. That's amazing. How many actors can you say that about today? Who would put their opinion on the line to actually state that about someone today? Such a great complement to James Stewart and there's no one that can truly disagree with this statement. It's that perfect.


It's a duty to say what should be heard, and a duty not to say what should not be heard. - Talmud

You need to state what people need to hear. That is important. No matter how painful it might be if it needs to be heard then you should say it. It's like on TV shows where they keep a secret for a long while and it ends up doing damage on a drama or causing hilarious moments on a comedy. But eventually the person that shouldn't know something ends up finding out. Best to mean to tell than allow them to accidentally find out.

Then there's the not say what should not be heard. People tend to think that whatever is on their mind should be said. That's a fool's idea of being truthful. One doesn't need to share everything that their mind creates because they have yet to think of the consequences of sharing it and then when the bad happens after the share they have the audacity to state they were only being truthful as if that affords them the right to have spoken so crassly.

These people's IQs can't be that high and if they do have high IQs then they are the stupidest smart people to exist.


Familiarity breeds content. - Anna Quindlen

Growing content is like being the back end of a dresser where spiders create webs and dead skin convert to dust. You sit there and accept what is going on because you are content with the familiar and sometimes that's good and sometimes that's bad. Bad is when you are abused and you have a change to alter the situation but don't because you would no longer be where it's familiar therefore causing you to go back to the hell because you're content with it.

Don't grow so lazy that you think what you have is what you deserve or what you get is what you will only get. You're in charge of your situation and if you think you need to get better stop making the same mundane choices and go out and make bold choices that will alter you life in the direction that will bring you change that will give you more meaning than you have now.


Random Thought Corner...

I watched Dune and it was alright. But what was in there was a suit that could convert sweat to water. That was so awesome. I was like...dude where is that today? That would be great for people that live in the desert. Something they'd have in case they were left stranded. Why hasn't the sweat drink suit been invented? Someone's just being lazy, that's all.

Iconoclast New York Times Rush Out for Me Without Skill

Dictionary.com's word of the day...
Iconoclast - A person who attacks cherished beliefs or institutions as foolish or wrong.

An iconoclast is like an atheist. I should say like some. Because there are some that just go about their lives not beilving in God or a god because they see how horrible certain relgious people are as well as who causes certain wars because of certain crazed beliefs. This would be for the atheist that make headlines insisting that their rights are being violated via certain things like prayers at school or teaching a different thought at school.

They tend to have this idea that what they think is right and what other people think is wrong, which is why they state OMG fairy tale. Ok. But they can't seem to take the same kind of treatment if it's reversed. They fall back on things that are not evidence and more of a certain word: Fact. They believe what they think is fact just because and not for any other reason than that....they act like they are a parent. It's not apparent. For it it were then it would be believed by the majority of the world in some for or another, but it's not. No past tribe of people believed in evolution or anything other than God that brought about the Earth and the lifeforms that live on it.

If such a thought was so apparent and so proveable then it would be easily found in the past by other people. Instead of having to wait until the 1800's for it to be clearly stated as something that science could go into more "detail."

Atheist that put forth too much effort to care about what other people do that doesn't infrenge on their life are horrible people. Angry people. People who just make the world worse. And yes there are religious people that do the same thing, but that's the the topic here. Not this go around.


On this day in 1920...
New York Times editorial (Falsely) reports rockets can never fly.

Wow. As if the New York Times is any different today.


Five Quotes for the Day...

It has been said that a pretty face is a passport. But it's not, it's a visa, and it runs out fast. - Julie Burchill

I like this quote for many reasons. It's not because someone who is good looking will lose their looks, based on this quote, but it's because the statement is so true. A pretty face can get you into clubs, looked at more, smiled at, talked about, forgiven for things that shouldn't be forgiven for...and so on. Passports last a while, but a visa has a time limit and that's how it is with good looks; they only last so long.

Looks can run out faster than old age can get you. They can be gone because of a horrible accident or condition that accelerates old age look; such as smoking or doing drugs. But within the time of your visa you should build up who you are so that when it runs out you will be loved for who you are instead of what you look like. And even though good looking things are great to look at they are never worth sentimental value. It is the things and the people that have memories attached that are remembered.

You don't look at a new bike and have a memory of when you first road it. That would be because it's brand new and it's because the bike that would bring that memory about would be beaten up with age and mistakes. You look at that bike and you can tell where each dent came from and why and when you touch it memories will flood your mind.

The same goes for older people who have lost that glamor shot look. They are weathered by age, wisdom and mistakes. But they are loved for what they did and who they are. No one goes up and speaks of those who have past and go, "OMG they had a hot body." They talk about the memories and memories are not found on the outside; they are locked on the inside with the ingredients of personality can only create and that good looking cannot ever duplicate.


Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the "me" for the "we". - Phil Jackson (basketball)

There are many things in life that this can apply to and one of the things is family. Family is not about me it's about we. If there is a member of the family that only thinks of him or herself then the family will fail. The same goes for the military as well as many stories that deal with lots of people. It goes along with the "united we stand and divided we fall" quote.

Those that tend to think for themselves are easily afraid of what other people are going to do tot them because they know how selfish people think. They are paranoid. Having someone that has your back is a great thing. Cherish it if you have it. And if you don't have it, go get it.


Sin begins as a spider's web and becomes as a ship's rope. - Akiba

If you do something that you feel guilty for the guilt starts off small and then it just turns into something that weights you down. Sometimes you become agitated or frustrated and people who talk to you seem to know what you've done, which means you've turned paranoid. What you thought you could live with ends up being a huge burden on you and your life and drags you down.

In order to relieve yourself of this you should find a way to tell someone or fix the sin that you've committed so that you can deal with it. You don't need to drag around a ship the rest of your life, do you? You're not a tug boat.


Woman without a man is like a field without a seed. - Ethiopian Saying

Apparently they think that a woman is nothing without a man, just like a field is worthless without something to plant in it. They are all about growing things there so they believe land is valuable but not if you don't have seed to make it worthy to exist. It's interesting to read what other countries think via their sayings.


Skill to do comes of doing. - Ralhp Waldo Emerson

You can't have skills if all you do is talk about what you can do instead of actually doing it. People tend to say they don't know how to do something but they've never even tried. That's because they don't put forth the effort. If you put forth the effort then you start to earn the ability to do something you didn't know how to do it before; like driving. Can't learn to drive if you just watch others do it. Got to get behind that wheel somehow. Got to take life by the wheel and just drive.


Random Thought Corner...

I think I am more tired because of how much thinking I do. It is not to say that I have a lot of important things to think about, but the fact that I think about a lot of things intensely and I think that that amount of energy I exert is just as much as if I did something like play basketball. Though there is no muscel gain or weight loss in doing this, it's just tiring. Or so I think.

Hapless SS Ignorance Smaller Reveal to Learn Jurisdictional Retardedness

Dictionary.com's Word of the Day...
Hapless - Unlucky; unfortunate

There are a lot of hapless people, but that's because they self-perpetuate the problem. Their mind focuses on the negative things that happen and instead of thinking how they can get out falling into that problem again the next time they file away how they did it only to do it again and then say, "I told you this would happen." Then there are the hapless people that just have terrible situations in life but look at the bright side still. They try to make the best of their unfortunate situation. They are people to emulate because we will all have such situations in our lives no matter how comfortable a life we create.


On this day in 1949...
Dutch court affirms death sentence against SS Chief Hann's Rauter.

It is interesting to see who uses the death penalty in the past. I saw a movie that had three people who just printed words on paper that were against the Nazis that were beheaded. Beheaded. I can't even imagine being in the same room as people thinking that's a great idea or those that actually preform the service. It's gross.

Certain people think that the death penalty is a bad thing. Their choice. But they tend to be from a country that has done it in the past and then they condemn America for having it in certain areas. America has had it for shorter period of time than those in Europe who has had such penalties for centuries before they decided it was wrong. They are trying to force a teen to grow up fast to do as everyone else does. But hose people got to do as they wanted for hundreds of years killing thousands of people because they wanted to and now they decided that it's wrong everyone must abide.

Sad way of thinking.


Five Quotes of the Day...


The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge. - Daniel J. Boorstin

People who think they are well versed in topic just because they take it in class are the most annoying people this world has to offer. They think that just because they have someone standnig in front of the class dictating to them what is and isn't about this topic that they (the students) have the uperhand and know more than anyone that has read or had experince on the subject.

They would be wrong to think that they know more just because they take the class with the title of the topic in it. The illusion of knowledge is something they perpetuate as well as enjoy showing off. Excited to speak on the topic but not so excited to state that they may be wrong.


The Smarter you are, the smaller your strike zone. - Anonymous

If yo uare smart and clever enough you'll be able to see things before they trip you up. You'll be able to realize what people are up to. You'll be able to escape being called stupid because the more you know and the more you grow in such a knowledg; the smaller and smaller this strike zone would become.


Hide what you have and reveal what you haven't. - J.F.C. Fuller -- "A Millitary History of the Western World.

Show those that you are in battle with things that they already know about and keep what they don't know hidden even better. I don't know. Maybe you are in a conversation with someone and they know something about you and you know they know, so to keep them from knowing what they don't you reveal what they already did know in such a way that it's a big deal. So that they feel special fro getting what you told them first from somewhere else.

This could keep them from digging because it seemed like it was a big secret, even when it was not.


Learn to teach yourself. - Anonymous (African-American)

It is a good idea to know how to teach yourself to do things so that when the time comes that someone can't show you to do something, like at a job, you'll be able to pick up a book or any other means of instruction and be able to pull it off. It'll help you in all kinds of things that could be time consuming if you waited for someone to help or helpful so that you don't have to be stranded somewhere on the side of the road.


No mistake is more common and more fatuous than appealing to logic in cases which are beyond her jurisdiction. - Samuel Butler

Fatuous meaning foolish, if you hadn't know. What would be beyond logic's jurisdiction? It would be anything dealng with feeling movments like death, birth, weddings, love, a hurt child. A hurt child especially. You cannot tell a child in logical terms that things will be alright when they are hystarical. They won't have it. They don't care. Something happened to them and it hurts and they want you to solve their problem. And if you explain to them that their knee is scraped and hurts because the skin was shreded it won't bring them much comfort and they'll not want to talk to you for telling them the obvious.


Random Corner...

There are moments that people seem human and then they go off and they say something that is just retarded in a logical way. Like they try really hard not to be connected or concerned with people they once were by seeming detached in their well thought out logical way. It's the weak way of making things work and happen. Weak minded people can become disloyal and wishey-washy and shameful.

Watch out.

Daunting Presley in Perpetual singing of Bigotry Elements that Invade

Dictionary.com's Word of the Day is...
Daunt - to frighten; overcome with fear. To discourage; lessen the courage of.

Daunting is when one has to to live up to standards that other people set because they are so excited that you got the job. They are so excited that they share the same skin color that they want you to be the best person you can be so that they feel right stating you are the best in history. Daunting is when you state what is needed and people twist it into something magical, something you didn't intend for it to be, something that's so enormous that you no longer have the ability to make things happen the way you envisioned them to. Daunting is setting up a team that starts to fall apart before the day you're suppose to initiate them to work. Daunting is being Barak Obama.


On this day in 1954...
Elvis Presley pays $4 to a Memphis studio and records his 1st two songs, "Casual Love" and "I'll Never Stand in Your Way."

Talk about a great investment. The only sad thing is if tacked on to that was the stipulation you had to become a drug addict, a drunk, get fat and die ugly; would he still have accepted?

The Five Quotes for the Day...

Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things. >- Robert Louis Stevenson

Some people devote so much time to their jobs that they create an imbalance in their life. They want to succeed so much that it's at the cost of something. If they have a family it's at the cost of family time. If they are dating someone it's at the cost of spending time with that person. If they don't have a family or they are not dating, then it's at the cost of their personal life. Being successful is not a bad thing, it shows initiative. Having that kind of drive is a good thing, as long as it's used wisely. Devoting so much time to one thing while ignoring other aspects of life can cause one to miss out on so much and then years later have regret. Be careful how hard you work, you could end up with nothing to show for it.


We think caged birds sing, when indeed they cry. - John Webster

Holding someone captive or holding captive an idea could be detrimental to both. It may seem that the person is enjoying the protective grasp you hold on them and it may be that they are in a state of disillusionment of what they are actually missing out on. Holding people captive emotionally, even, can be a bad thing for them and for the person doing it. Having such control over someone can be unhealthy for both the captive and the captivator.

As for ideas they need to flourish and sometimes they need to be released to other minds so they can improve upon them. If the idea is so important that it can save lives it's best to give it to the many so that they can hash it out and save those that would be saved by said idea.


Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in the hand with a grip that kills it. - Rabindranath Tagore

It's a tough thing when you meet someone that just doesn't like you because of what you believe, who you look like or just because you don't look just like them. To have them know what is truely factual and keeping it away from themselves in a place where they silence it is kind of scary. They are so determined to dislike someone they will go to great lengths to ignore what they know just to continue.

If you do come across such an animal it is best to not indulge them in their thoughts, because that will only engourge them and if one ignores what they are they'll shrink back into nothing and give more breathing room to those of use that are worthy to live.


A key element of the biographer's art is knowing what to leave out. - Peter France

A biography can't have element in it. No need to bog down the reader with every detail. The biographer just needs to tell, in detail, the information that people want to know about and quickly state what is not really known; so as to not do any overwriting. Such writing will turnpeople off to the story. People liked those with flaws but everyone doesn't need to know ever stip.

Biographers get the gist of someone and that gist is what people read about. If the biographer is good the gist will tell a true tale of someone who is either dead or a long way off from being great.


What the ocean invades in one place it loses in another. - Napoleon

Massive forces move to conquer this land and that. But the land they did conquer slowly loses the strength that was holding it. Invading armies could see that mistake and attack and have an easy battle. Just like the ocean when it pulls in on a land it's receding in another. It's an interesting statement from an interesting man. I would say so.


Random Thought Corner...

I created a phrase called Life-Mines. People have them. The people that are riddled with them are those that are the 'other' person. Such as a man cheating with a woman. That woman has life-mines that the man just didn't know about and they will explode once he leaves who he was with for this person. Maybe it's a good idea to leave. But it's never a good idea to cheat. If you are a person that is in such a position you should think about it because the one you are cheating with could have life-mines that might harm you. Once the excitement wears off that is when they start poping up and hurting you.

And to end on an even more random note:

There are things in this world that you cannot change and there are things in this world you can. The game plan is to perceive the things you can't alter with a positive outlook that's contagious and then with the things you can change do so selflessly and the world will turn with human greatness you pass on; more so than because it was made to do that.

May I come to Washington, Mr. President?

I wrote an essay to win a ticket to go to Obama's Inauguration. This is that essay.

I am Japanese Irish hybrid. I call it Jirish.

Black people have connected with Obama because he’s black. Other people (as in races) have connected to him because he’s historical for America: the first black President.

I do not connect to Obama in such a manner and if that’s what you’re looking for when you read these essays then you might as well stop reading mine, because I am not going to alter my thinking on this.

I am a mutt like Obama stated he is. If I were to connect to him I would connect to him through this. I find that he used such a term as a good sense of humor and I like that, but this is not a connection I have with him.

Barak Obama is a man. His skin color is historical and this makes what he is second to that. I cannot look at his skin color and not appreciate who he actually is. I cannot be a black person for one I am not black and second I do not connect to people just because I am of the same race. I connect to people because they are worthy of connecting to.

I saw his speech “Yes We Can” and I got goosebumps. I hear a man talk of hope in a way that no one has for a really long time. He knows how to speak and he speaks well. Not because he’s black. Not because he’s a mutt. Not because he’s a Democrat. He speaks well because he’s a good man and as a human we should

all be proud that such a person exists.

For me seeing the inauguration would be like seeing the Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, George Washington’s inauguration, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech, John Adam’s constant instance on American Revolution and the reading of Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence’s first draft. It will be a moment that is shared with a few in this world who will actually get to see it in person. It will be a moment to tell my children about. It will be history for history deems it to be so.

I did not vote. I did not vote for I do not think the saving of mankind as being in the hand of any one man for we are all imperfect. What I see in Barak Obama is a good man who has stepped into a situation that is bigger than him. People are raising him up to be something he is not. The higher they rise the higher the fall is for someone who just wants to do his best. It’s not fair.

I want to see Barak Obama before people take him and thrash him about. I want to see him be at his peak and feel the energy of everyone who is excited for him for all the wrong reasons. I want to see the man behind the words I hear from the news and I want to view him without a TV screen infiltrating my line of sight. I want to see him gesture. I want to hear his words. I want to see a man who is willing to sacrifice so much for people who don’t even get what he is and who he will be. The American public is far too selfish to see anything but the outside for those that like him will flip if he deviates from any promises he has made.

I am Japanese and Irish. I am a hybrid. I am what I like to call Jirish. I, like Obama, am a mutt. I, like Obama, am just a man. But he’s a man with so much to live up to and before that takes him and changes him I want to see him for who he is, for who he will always be and for who history will remember this moment for. I want to be at that inauguration for a moment that this United States can only give and for a chance to see it I would be eternally grateful from depths of my heart. And to get to say the words I’ve always wanted to say, “Mr. President” and shake said person’s hand would be a moment that no amount of money could ever afford me.

I may have not voted. I may not be of the same race. I may not be a Democrat. I am only a man, but, as far as I can see, so is Obama. The only difference is that he is historical and [I believe I have failed to mention this so better late than never] I love history.

Candor in Motion Pictures for Everday People and Children with Apples and Amnesia

The Dictionary.com word of the day is...

Candor - Honesty in giving one's view or opinion: frankness and sincerity. Fairness; impartiality.

May I speak candidly?

May I speak freely?

May I have the floor?

May I speak the truth?

Candor has the form of sincerity and impartiality. People who use it in a sentence before they drop a heavy load of hate on you. Meaning, if you are brave enough, you should inform them that they are using it inappropriately and that if they want to be a butthead just say, "I'm going to be a butthead" instead of lying about being candid. It's not that hard. I guess people like to think that speaking the truth allows them the leeway to be a jerk, but that's only in their own mind. Use the word right. Thanks.

The five quotes of the day!

Everyday people are straying away from the Church and going back to God. - Lenny Bruce

Good point there Lenny. The Church tends to be a place where animosity and apathy grow into acceptance and whatever. There are people that want to learn about God and what he wants from them than what the Church wants and how much.

It's also saying that the Church was never with God to begin with. That's kind of harsh but so is being a road block to people's chance at being close to God.


Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never ailed to imitate them. - James Baldwin

"Do as I say not as I do" is not a phrase that children listen to. They watch and they copy. That's how it works. You want a good child you lead by example. A parent that doesn't lead by example is like a leader in a marching band sitting down outside the band and telling them where to march on a mega phone. That would lead to animosity because then people will think it's that he is better than them and can't join them and they'll not listen to the orders being called because they too just want to sit and do nothing.

You want to be a good leader? Be as you are telling them to be and you'll get what it is you want from them.

You know, if you do as you want and they do as you say--you could be the exception to the rule. You could be the amazing difference. You could make millions by telling people how you did it. That way parents can have their cake and eat it too.


The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do. - Apple Comptuer

The American Revolution was one of the first of its kind. Crazy idea. People were like this can't work. But those that were in the power position were daring enough to push for it and it worked. No one was suppose to want to have a personal computer, and yet we have 'em. There's so much that just wouldn't be without someone daring to believe it was possible. Like going to the mooon and walking on it. That couldn't happen. VHS was to ruin movie theater experinces. Different kinds of music would have never existed without someone thinking it sounded good..rap, rock and so forth.

Then there's Mashups. Those things are so creative. Someone had to sit down and think about how one song would sound cool if it had that beat behind it and then actually do it and make it sound good.


A nation that forgets its past can function no better than an individual with amneisa. - David McCullough

America has so forgotten how it felt when it was taxed for no reason other than greed. We, the citizens, make money to pay for things that we don't even need because people we surely don't need say it's a good idea.

Then there are countries that are bullying other countries when they should understand how one does not like to be bullied. Or a group of people within a country bullying another group even though they had a past with bullying. It's like an abused child going on abusing others without thinking about how it made them feel and understanding that they are committing people to the same sort of pain they didn't like themselves.

"I don't like this mean thing you're doing to me, but I think it's a great idea if I do it to someone else. How do you do it again?"


Majorities, the argument of fools, the strength of the weak. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yes. People always bring up who has the majority without bringing up facts or things that back up their line of thinking. Look at me I have a lot of idiots back me. OMG I must be right. Yes, yes you are right. Please allow me and my own thinking to bow to you and your whole wool thinking. You have the numbers and we all know that numbers mean right. Just like the American's were right, based on numbers, to have slaves. Germany was right, based on numbers, to rid themselves of Jews. Many adults that decide to enslave a few children are, of course, in the right because they have the numbers. Scientist who have a group are more right because of the numbers not because of facts. Heaven forbid scientist use facts instead of feeling and assumptions.

You have to have more than the majority to actually have a valid point. Just because you can beat up the oposition doesn't mean you are more right.


Random Thought Corner

I'm tired. I think that if we all were allowed to sleep at least 20 minutes after lunch this would solve one part of my problem.

The other part of the problem would be that I would get to sleep in a room at work that way I can have more time to sleep instead of wasting time driving to get to work. I hate driving. People drive slow and slow and then they stick together to drive slow in packs. It's like they can think of nothing more fun than driving right next to someone they apparently are really close to.

I want to teleport home. That would be a blast.

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.

Mice, Snake and Gas....oh CONGRESS!

There is a mouse in the house. It squeaks with another mouse. I just want to say to them, "Get the squeakin' squeak out of my squeakin' home you stinkin' squeaker!"

They are loud at night and then they are silent. I wish I could get a snake and have it slither around. Apparently they are very afraid of snakes. They are annoying and the dog is slightly deaf so she doesn't hear them.

I've seen them scamper around and they like are so fast I don't even see feet. Like a blur of speed it's ridiculious. You know what else is ridciulious? Gas. Gas is ridiculous but who the hell can solve that?

CONGRESS....but are they going to? NOOOOOOOOO.....why? Because they are on vacation for the fourth of July. NO JOKE. Send them the mice dead in a box. Maybe that'll wake them up to the reality of the matter.

I don't know how that would, but it would be funny to read in the news. "Today Congress received a box and in the box were dead mice. They have no idea what that means. The sender was contacted and yes he left his address on the box and he didn't even know what dead mice mean."

Ha. Vile.

Paine of Government

I'm reading this book on Thomas Paine. He is the author of the book called Common Sense and because of the book (or I guess I should call it a pamphlet) he kick started the public ideal that American Revolution was a great idea.

A little bit of info on this is that Thomas Paine worked as a Excise Officer which the book equated to being a customs agent. The taxes were being raised in England and so it affect his job. He was asked to write something, because he was a fine writer, to present to Parliament.

The problem was that these Excise officers had to pay for travel and lodging when they went from location to location and on top of that with the higher taxes they were not making enough money to make it worth it.

So he asked for them to get more money.

They said no.

Here is the paragraph I think is very interesting:

"Paine left for London in the winter of 1772, no doubt confident of his work on the petition and consequently of achieving his comrades' just aims of a pay raise. But, as Paine would soon learn, the will of the British government during this period was not swayed by sound logic or just arguments. A jaded political veteran such as Benjamin Franklin, then in London representing the colonies of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, could have saved him the disappointment. Unlike the naive Englishman, the famous American knew that success in such cases depended too often on the support of powerful friends and interested parties within the government. In representing a group of investors attempting to acquire a large tract of land in the Ohio Valley, Franklin recommended that they offer shares in the project to persons of influence at court and in Parliament. Without such maneuvers, Franklin told his partners, their cause didn't stand a chance. Such facts must have come as harsh realizations to Paine, still innocent in the ways of government. In spite of the fact that his pamphlet was well written, generally praised, and widely circulated the campaign for a salary increase came to naught. As he later summarized bitterly, "...the King, or somebody for him, applied to Parliament to have his own salary raised 100,000 pounds, which being done, everything else was laid aside.""

The amusing part is that the American Government is what the British Parliament and King were like when the Americans wanted a Revolution.

it is not just because of Bush or Clinton...it's the whole Government.

The founding fathers would want another Revolution for nothing that the American Government is right now has not already been played out by the British Parliament of the 1700's.

We need a Thomas Paine, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin

Random Rambling

the brain is something that has been studied for years and yet they don't know a whole lot about it.

All these theories and things and research but still nothing that makes it totally understood. Of course science never totally understands anything. They leave room for error which is understandable...no need to be exclusive when you can just state that something most likely is and then watch it and see if it is...and even though it continues to be that way one day maybe it'll change.

Gravity is a theory---though it continues to be true...we are held down by gravity which pulls us to the center of the earth---but maybe one day something will make gravity not gravity and they can alter it without whatevering what they just said...meh...I'm just rambling.

I find science interesting---it, as a community, knows so much and yet so little at the same time. They leave room for growth no need to stunt growth by being absolute...nothing can be so.

Which makes people who state absolutes weird...not wrong just weird. You can't be wrong because that in itself is an absolute and if things are not absolute then stating someone is wrong is wrong----I like absolutes.

I could never be a scientist...not because of my beliefs but because of my personality. I just couldn't be so boring and long winded...and to other people it's not boring or long winded it's interesting and fascinating. I don't blame them for liking it I can see why something like science would be interesting---I just don't find it that interesting.

People shouldn't bash other people's beliefs to further their own. State your own without smashing someone else's it's possible...I know that I've done that before and that's something I'm just going to try not to do ever again. I will not alter the way in which I talk about things with sarcasm and such---I'm not going to just smash their beliefs with OMG you're an idiot. I can't say the same for other people against me. haha.

I think it's funny that my opinions are so powerful they evoke such strong emotions from people. No one's opinions evoke such strong emotions from me. My opinions are already strong and stubborn and are not so because of someone else's opinions.

People complain about what I've said and done and not just here off line as well. How can I not think I'm some sort of power house of thought? Not that I actually do think that...maybe a little...but really how am I to just not think it?

I constantly think----I never not and my brain just won't shut up. 8)

Woman or Man? Clap!

At the movie theater that I go to there is this person that looks like a woman from afar but then when you get up on this person they look like a man. It's really freaky. I don't know which gender this person is. I want to say woman but then there's these odd man features that freak me out. It's a gender bender thing going on and I know it's wrong to call someone by the wrong gender like Mister when it's a Miss and such. I think I found a real life Pat. Wow.

I saw The Nativity Story (cruddy by the way) and there was this man that clapped after each "important" scene. It was annoying. He talked through the movie too, to his wife who, apparently, didn't know what was going on? I don't know. It was annoying that he thought people wanted to hear him appladed after each scene. OMG Mary talked to an angel...YAY *claps*. OMG Joseph talked to an angel! *claps* OMG he said Jesus was god. *claps* OMG the star is glowing on them! *claps* It was so freakin' annoying and stupid. I wish I had a boomerang so I could have hit him upside the head and made him realize he's an idiot. Then I would have clapped and pat myself on the back.

Lost Love

I think love is all one needs when entering a marriage.

I think that if one cheats on someone then that someone they cheated on they NEVER loved. They can argue all they want to but if they loved the one they were with then cheating wouldn't ever come to mind.

People do not get divorced because they fell out of love---they were never in love to begin with. This fall out of love crap is a bunch of BS. You are or you're not there is no falling out of love because that's not possible. Once you are in love with someone then it sticks for life---if you "fall" out of love you were never IN love to begin with.

Loving someone means you love them through all kinds of problems and that means there is no such thing as divorce. If divorce does occur then love was never ever a factor and marriage was done based on false thinking.

Love is too powerful to be that faulty no matter how imperfect we are.

My love is set in stone.
Once I decide to love someone as a girlfriend or a friend or a family member..this love is always there to the end of time. I'm not a robot...I don't turn love on and off based on events. If love leaves because of hard times..then love was never there to begin with either.

I'm so annoyed with the mistreatment of love. People think it's some sort of game like spin the bottle. It's just stupid.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to fall out of love. That entire phrase is dumb. It's so stupid and anyone that believes that that is possible are fooling themselves. Love is WAY too powerful to fall out of...it's gravity pull is too strong and no one has the ability to push it away. If love is there then that's it. There is no removing it.

Don't give love a bad name and don't use it like it's just a word that can be thrown around. It's been abused so much people have really forgotten what it means.
