Christmas 2007, Done and gone.
Well, another Chirstmas has come and gone and like the ones before our house paid the price. Who the hell comes over to your house, spills fruit punch and then doesn't at least tell you about it.
At least we found it after it ruined some photographs, so there is that bonus!
Although I must admit that my favorite part was:
Someone had set a drink down, right next to their chair, which happened to be right next to the halway where the kids were playing. One of the girls knocked the drink over and they asked for some paper towels to clean it up. I went over and cleaned it up and asked someone to get a cup. Everyone stood there looking at me like I was crazy.
I had to get up from cleaning up the mess, walk back into the kitchen, get a cup, come back and get the ice that was spilled, then clean up the rest of the mess.
Its funny; but no one seems to get why I hate people!

November 4, 2008...
As of today there are 321 days until less than half of registered US voters head to the poles and cast their hardly thought out votes commonly along party lines. The exciting news for everyone is that were already well into having to hear about all the different people that want to replace GW as the leader of the "free" world.
Now, over the last eight years Bush has spent a lot of time praying for the safe return of soldiers around the world while actually doing very little about it. Ok, ok, it’s not just him but everyone in the federal government is praying for their safe return but effectively spending their time complaining about how the war is being run or about how the democrats are complaining about how the war is being run while not actually providing for the safety of the troops.
Now the truth of the matter is that the situation in Iraq is not as bad as the media made it out to be, the majority of the country is quite safe (much like wandering around 8 mile in Detroit is safe). However, a lot of people have died (not us US citizens but the unknown number of Iraq citizens) while we are bringing freedom and safety to an area that, well... lets face it... does not really want to be safe.
The Middle East is loaded with countries that are like family. They have been fighting since the day the first two guys found oil. Add onto that the fact that Europeans have constantly been going over there and trying to take over. The crusades, World War I, World War II, The Roman Empire, France, England, Establishment of a free Jewish homeland, the current events, and I am sure I am forgetting plenty of visits from "the white man."
So here we are, after invading Iraq to get the weapons of mass destruction - which it turns out seem to be in North Korea. Of course we will never invade them because China would just be cranky about it; and that would be bad. We were ready to invade Iran as well; I could almost taste the need to invade them, to show them it was wrong to be making nuclear weapons.
Then we discovered they weren't. Good thing our information gathering is right on top of things. It would have been horrible to go in and discover that an evil country wasn't doing what we said they were doing...
So, here we are with all the new presidential hopefuls. Promising to make the world a better place once again while I sit around and wonder why we are constantly trying to improve the world when all we really need to do is step back and stop fucking it up.
The good news is that our choices this time around are a lot better than they have been in the past elections. The bad news is that the best two choices may not have a chance since one is black and the other is female. Let’s face it; if the country is not ready to allow gay couples to have the same right to a 50% divorce rate then the country is certainly not ready to be run by a female or a black man.
Sad to say because this is the Democrat's best chance to get the Whitehouse with the weak showing from the Republicans; but like Eminem say's, it is White America.

Sexy Yoga Lesson
Note: The guy who posted it said "If there is a bikini yoga class, I don't care how gay it looks, you bet I'll be joining."
I total agree.

I have decided that I need to run for a goverment office. My platform is as follows:
No goverment employee will ever be paid more than two times that of the lowest paid public school teacher. This includes Congress.
All US citizens will enjoy the same benefits that are given to members of the US Senate and House. (Who the hell decided the new Medicare was the way to go?)
Iraq who?
Iran who?
Cuba, great place to visit, want to buy a vacation package?
Lets face it, if we are going to invade Iraq, lets do it right. Take all the prisoners and send them over there, rename the country "Little Aussie," and pull our troops out.
My campain strategy? Bumper stickers that say "At least he's not GW!"

Aquadots get pulled from the shelves because of date rape drug. Apparently another quality toy out of China, this time not coated in lead (which is nice) but coated in a chemical that turns into the date rape drug inside the body. Which in turn causes small chidren to go into a coma.
If only I had known sooner I could have gotten some for my wife.

Italian Capitalism: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
British Capitalism: You have two cows. Both are mad.
Russian Capitalism: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

Ancient Chinese Torture
A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
"Ok," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young,beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

Brittany was on her deathbed, with her husband Adam at her side.
She kept trying to tell him something, but he kept saying, "Shhhh, don't worry now darling, just rest."
"But honey," she whispered, "I need to make a confession before I die... I slept with your brother, your best friend, and your father."
"Don't worry about it, sweetie," replied Adam as he wiped the tears from Brittany's cheek, "I know. Why do you think I poisoned you?"

It occurs to me that the world might just be going to hell faster than anyone assumed it is. Not because people are not going to church or that they do not believe in God. Hell, often the people committing the worst acts are those that frequent church (not that this is any reflection on the major majority of people who attend church and do not commit horrible acts).
Anyway I listened to the news on the way home yesterday. It is currently believed that the "super viruses" which are basically just viruses that no longer respond to drugs (big surprise, they do go though a new generation every few hours or so). Evolution proves that things will adapt given enough time but the drug companies never adapted. This leaves us to face all kinds of infections (from ear to staff) that do not respond to medication. What does that mean? According to recent research more people are dying from these "super viruses" then AIDS. What can we do to help? Avoid pumping our bodies full of medication, try not to use antibiotics soap, and leave the hand sanitizer on the shelf! The more chances we give viruses to adapt the more they will do just that.
Although it is not that story that leads me to believe that the human race has lost its way. The two news stories that prove that are about little children. The first, the guy that slept with a toddler and video taped it! VIDEO TAPED IT! Not to mention the guy who “found” the tape and then kept it for five months. Come on people, I know rape is an act of power not sex but at least rape an adult. I mean that is bad enough but pushing yourself on a toddler, it is just horribly sad and wrong.
The other story, a man who’s three year-old daughter would not take a bath. So he tossed her across the room into the tub. I hear a lot of people talk about how kids are better off when they are spanked or teachers had more power to punish kids. Sure, that is all well and good but if our society has gotten to the point where we need to toss toddlers across a bathroom just to prove that we are bigger than them there is good reason why we need to be so concerned about the physical aspect of punishment (even if we all know that punishment tends to not stop people from committing their actions anyway).
Sometimes three year-olds just do not want to have to face the bedtime routine, they want to stay up and spend time with you.
So, I submit that the stories above are just a little bit of proof that our world is quietly going to hell.
On the other hand, there was a funny story about two guys who beat someone up over a beer. 1 beer. Classic.

Come on people, I know rape is an act of power not sex but at least rape an adult. I mean that is bad enough but pushing yourself on a toddler, it is just horribly sad and wrong.
The other story, a man who’s three year-old daughter would not take a bath. So he tossed her across the room into the tub. I hear a lot of people talk about how kids are better off when they are spanked or teachers had more power to punish kids. Sure, that is all well and good but if our society has gotten to the point where we need to toss toddlers across a bathroom just to prove that we are bigger than them there is good reason why we need to be so concerned about the physical aspect of punishment (even if we all know that punishment tends to not stop people from committing their actions anyway).
Sometimes three year-olds just do not want to have to face the bedtime routine, they want to stay up and spend time with you.
So, I submit that the stories above are just a little bit of proof that our world is quietly going to hell.
On the other hand, there was a funny story about two guys who beat someone up over a beer. 1 beer. Classic.

A lot of people will tell you that Wal-Mart is evil and has destroyed small town economies but I realized something the other day while walking for a restaurant to the Wal-Mart across the lot.
Wal-Mart, which if you shop there and buy exactly what you would buy other places may save you money. However after watching people drive around the lot and sit in their cars waiting for people to back out of spots so their fat asses can save a few steps I realized that most people will not save money.
Why? Because of the cost of gas, driving around the parking lot may actually negate the savings you will make inside.
The answer? Stop being so damd lazy, walk a few extra steps and just park at a further out spot. I have seen the size of your ass, trust me, you need the exercise!

What's in a name?
So I graded some papers yesterday (and this morning) for my class. It was an intresting mix of grades but the most amusing was the person that misspelled the word "Technology" in the title of their paper.
While the rest of the paper was strong, you just cannot give full credit for a paper that has the title spelled wrong!

Miss Teen USA Contestant Stupified by Question
South Carolina had a bit of a brain fart, but go US Americans!
Larry Craig...
All I have to say about Senator Craig is, if rubbing your shoe against another man's shoe and waving at people under a bathroom stall is wrong, how the hell do mute people get toilet paper when their stall is out?
Maybe Larry boy was eating a ham sandwich while trying to get the attention of his fellow pooper so that he could borrow some Charmin. Then again, maybe he wanted to borrow some hot man-seed.
Everyone has quoted him as saying: "Let me be clear, I am not gay, I never have been gay," Mr. Craig said. Seems a little too much protesting to me, like a 11 year old boy not wanting to admit he likes a girl (or boy).
Perhaps Mr. Craig just wanted to play Battleshits with his neighbor but was afraid to express his desire in words.

I got an email the other day from a parent who wanted to find out what was going on with their child here at work. Apparently the child (or the parent) had applied a year or so ago and had been removed from the system.
Anyway, because the person requesting information was not the applicant I was not at liberty to share any information with them. I eventualy got a response that basicly said their child was a minor and they were the legal guardian and they still wanted information. I told them no.
Today I got an email thanking me for being so "unhelpful."
Funny that the "kid" who is 18 (give or take a few years) and applying to work in a major corporation but he is not responsible enough to find out what is going on with his own application!
The parent wonders why the child was not accepted...

Alien metal... er, not quite.
A chunk of metal disturbed a man watching TV the other night. At first there was a lot of confusion over where the metal came from. Was it from a train (the tracks run close to his house). Nope. Was it from a plane? Nope. Spacecraft? Nope. Disgruntled Aliens? Possibly.
As it turns out the metal was from a wood chipper.
Since the metal disrupted the guy's TV watching and forced him to pay attention to it, many believe that the metal is female.
Full story.

Ike Turner Day!
For one brief shining moment Ike Turner was going to get to celeberate Ike Turner Day on September 2, 2007. But women's groups all around St. Louis objected to the idea, claiming his violence towards women was unacceptable.
Looks like Ike will need to take a lesson from Wayne Brady and start asking "Is Ike Turner gonna have to choke a bitch?"
Poor missunderstood Ike. If Tina had just eaten the cake...

Top Ten George W Bush Moments
Wait for it... yes, the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. In Clinton's case the left hand is actually a little ashamed and jealous of the right hand...
Police Stupidity/Brutality caught on tape!!!
According to the police department, the cop didn't do anything wrong. I guess they get to just charge in and mace someone over 10 bucks. Must be nice.

Naked we are thrust into this world from the warm and safe confines of our mothers, some of us come quietly and do not make much of a fuss while others come out kicking and screaming. Others still have to be extracted and spend weeks or months in a neonatal ICU.
No matter how we enter this world there is one thing that remains the same, the world before us is limitless in its possibilities. Some babies will die their in their mothers arms lost and confused and others may grow to be president, which does not eliminate the probability that they will remain lost and confused. In today’s world it is likely that we will live for seventy plus years and die in a bed someplace lost and confused once again.
Of the people I have known and watched be slowly lead away from life were both of my grandmothers. One died under the veil of Alzheimer's, which to me is possibly the most horrible ways to go, looking out through your eyes and not recognizing the things before you, even if you have seen those things thousands of times before. Stripped of being you, your body slowly gives up and lets you move on.
I have seen others die much faster but I assure you that each of them has had a moment where they were lost and confused, possibly even longer before the darkness closed in around them.
I do not write these things to shine a light on the terminality of death but to get closer to my subject… life. Life is a constantly amazing struggle. We are constantly set upon by choice after choice and the even greater issue of the result of the choices we make. Do I get out of bed? Do I really want to go into work today? Should I answer this phone call? What if I cheat on my spouse? Should I go back to school? What underwear should I wear today? What is the limit of who I am? Who am I?
People often talk about going back to a “simpler time” or enjoying a “simpler life” but you cannot achieve either simply by buying a time machine or moving to live in a forest (or whatever your “simpler life” happens to be). We are all creatures of our pasts, our experiences, and the events of each day we live. Moving to a new location or time will not change the past or the way we approach things.
For example, here is a situation: You are in an elevator with a very attractive member of the opposite sex. They lean over, stop the elevator, and then start to kiss you. You have never met this person before but you do find them extremely attractive. There are a lot of factors that might weigh into your decision at this point. Some might be, how horny you are, if you are married, if you are faithful to your spouse or partner, if you felt that you could carry the burden of knowing you cheater on someone, etc.) All of your past decisions and experiences would come into play in determining how you reacted to the situation.
In the end I imagine that most people would do it (not just because the world really does revolve around sex) but that people believe that they can get away with it, that no one will know (even if the little camera in the elevator is recording all of it). Even people who are morally against such a thing might jump at the chance to experience the release that can be found in pure lust.
This brings me to a greater question of morals and ethics. In today’s world it seems that the people that “define” our morals and ethics are commonly the ones that are being caught breaking the rules. I have stated, for quite some time, that morals and ethics are a personal thing and that in general they cannot be applied to a society. I do not disagree that a society in itself needs to have rules and guidelines for the betterment of the community.
On the other hand I tend to avoid following the laws and rules of our nation just as many people do. Even people who are faithful to certain religions tend to fail to follow the guidelines they expect others to follow. (How often does Jerry Falwell judge other people?!) I have my own set of ethics and morals, I do not expect others to follow them and some are similar to the rules that most nations have adopted (no stealing, killing, etc… unless of course there is a valid reason for such ;)
Time for another example, and yes I am going to use sex again here. Why sex you might ask? Because people both enjoy are fear it. There is a constant concern over the amount of sex in the world yet those same people want to have more of it. They don’t want to expose their children to it which makes the children all the more interested in it and drives them to learn on their own. Sex is nothing more than the physical bond between two people. This bond might last minutes, hours, months, or years. It might be the physical manifestation of two people love, lust, boredom, friendship, need, or even a financial transaction. Sex, all by itself is nothing more than two people, be it male and female, female and female, or male and male, bumping (and thrusting and rubbing and biting and … ) body parts together. We have put such a high importance on the act of sex that it has become the ultimate expression of love even though it is simply nothing more than how we reproduce and hookers get paid for letting men screw them every day.
Before I get to the example I want to step back and say that it is not the act of having sex with someone other than your spouse or partner that causes the issues. It is the emotional importance that people put on sex. Because we as humans have “decided” that sex is the pinnacle of how we express our love we tie such strong emotional bonds to it that if our significant other does have sex with someone else we cannot help but feel hurt, like that private act that was reserved for just the two of you has been spoiled by another. When, in fact, your spouse probably just had physical urges that needed attention and most cases where people cheat it is because they feel that their needs are not being met be it physical or emotional needs.
Now… back to my example of morals and the ethics of the day.
For most people there is nothing wrong with having sex with your spouse. (Lets just keep it as a married couple right now, since you start to get into all kinds of morals when you talk about unmarried people and homosexual lovers).
Even fewer people would object to you and your spouse being outside. But if you combine the two then you have suddenly crossed a line. You can even go to jail and receive a sex offender tag.
Who does the act hurt? No one, not even if a buss load of pre-teens were to drive and catch you while one is wearing a dog collar and the other is holding the leash. Sure, it might provide for an uncomfortable situation but kids are smart. You can sit down and talk to them, tell them what was going on and discuss it openly they will be accepting of what happened and likely forget about it a few days later (if not hours or minutes). They will not be scarred for life, the only way they will be scarred for life is if parents and the community drive into them that their bodies are something to be ashamed of and that sex is bad.
Now, I am not saying that kids should be having sex or that everyone should be fucking on the street corner (it would be terribly difficult to get anything done). I am all for public nudity though. I think that if we eliminated clothes and stopped driving into kids heads all the horrors of sex and the human body that we would a) be a lot mentally healthier, b) be a lot physically healthier because people would be more active and keep their bodies in better shape because you cannot hide behind baggy clothes when there are no clothes, c) rape and sexual crimes would go down. I know that most sex crimes are crimes of power not passion but by eliminating the power that is generated by the act of seeing someone naked or having sex then we could go a long way towards stopping these crimes. It is ironic that rape, which is basically the act of taking away someone’s right to choose to have sex and I consider one of the most horrible crimes, is against the law while people that are against rape (and taking away a person’s right to choose) are also against abortion (and the right to make a choice). (That of course is a very simplistic view and the two issues have many sub and side issues to them and in no way am I saying that rape is OK or that Abortion is right or wrong).
To get back to my example, personally I do not see anything wrong with two, four, one thousand people having sex out in a public area. Now, I do imagine that it would cause quite a stir if it became common place (just think about having to step over two people having sex just to check out at the supermarket). Would there be something wrong with that? No, but it could be inconvenient. I’ve personally come across a number of people that were having sex in public (a few even in numbers greater than two) and I’ve committed similar acts myself. None of which have offended me, caused me to go blind, or changed my outlook on the world.
Now, to tie everything together, in life we have a lot of choices. Some are easy such as do I brush my teeth today? Some may seem easy but then later we wish we had chosen differently (Such as what underwear to wear). Some are complex and seem impossible (What child do I save from falling off the cliff?) Our personal history is what provides us with the ability to make the choices at whatever level we select to do so. Once made, we move on to the next choice and the next one until we run out of choices when the veil of darkness closes around us. We are only limited by our own personality, our own limits, our own version of what is right and wrong. To that point I am here to say that setting limits on yourself that stop you from trying new things, experiencing everything life has to offer is a horrible thing to do to yourself. If you find yourself in this position you should look to make a change in yourself before you make a change in where you live or if you have invented time travel then when you life. Changing where or when you are does not change who you are. Sometimes they can help you do so but if you are not willing to make that change then location and time will not make you any happier.
In the end we all go the same way so get out there and live life. Don’t limit yourself.
No matter how we enter this world there is one thing that remains the same, the world before us is limitless in its possibilities. Some babies will die their in their mothers arms lost and confused and others may grow to be president, which does not eliminate the probability that they will remain lost and confused.

I’ve personally come across a number of people that were having sex in public (a few even in numbers greater than two) and I’ve committed similar acts myself. None of which have offended me, caused me to go blind, or changed my outlook on the world.
Now, to tie everything together, in life we have a lot of choices. Some are easy such as do I brush my teeth today? Some may seem easy but then later we wish we had chosen differently (Such as what underwear to wear). Some are complex and seem impossible (What child do I save from falling off the cliff?) Our personal history is what provides us with the ability to make the choices at whatever level we select to do so. Once made, we move on to the next choice and the next one until we run out of choices when the veil of darkness closes around us. We are only limited by our own personality, our own limits, our own version of what is right and wrong. To that point I am here to say that setting limits on yourself that stop you from trying new things, experiencing everything life has to offer is a horrible thing to do to yourself. If you find yourself in this position you should look to make a change in yourself before you make a change in where you live or if you have invented time travel then when you life. Changing where or when you are does not change who you are. Sometimes they can help you do so but if you are not willing to make that change then location and time will not make you any happier.
In the end we all go the same way so get out there and live life. Don’t limit yourself.

Mein Gut
Today I heard that the play "Mein Gut" will now come with a disclaimer warning people that a chicken is roasted during one of the acts. The play, which is focused on a man losing his battle with his gut, is, according to some, going to offend vegans with the roasting of a chicken.
In related stories plays that feature smoking or other "vulgar acts" now have to have warnings as well.
People are also pushing to have details such as "smoking" and "drinking" added to the rating information of movies.
Just another reason why I am sad to call myself a liberal because it the liberal extremists that are stupid enough to rally to these causes and make the rest of us look bad. You want to stand up for the environment or try and get people to stop smoking that is fine, but when your upset that someone is roasting a chicken in a play or there is a lit cigarette on stage in a theater you may need to get a grip on your world.

My 2 cents for the day...
The house and the senate past a spending bill that sets a withdraw time for Iraq. So basicly what the goverment is saying is we built the fire, we tossed the gas on the fire, we light the matches, and now that it is out of control it is time for us to leave and let the natives solve the problem because when it comes down to it, how does it really effect us?
I hate to side with Bush but that plan just does not work.
Richard Gere kisses Shilpa Shetty.
Maybe he went a little overboard, but hey wouldn't you too? I mean, check her out!
Yeah, yeah, I kissed her because it was funny... yeah!

USA Today is running a series on the top 25... trends, quotes, books, etc.
The list of books can be seen here: http://www.usatoday.com/life/top25-books.htm and at the top of the list is Harry Potter. This list only covers the last 25 years of publishing but if we go a bit further back you have to include the Bible and other books considering:
1. It is a book
2. People are willing to kill over their interpretation of what is in it
3. It is the most published book ever (besides the Ikea catalog) and it is the #1 seller ever (although the Harry Potter SERIES has outsold it).
I think the big thing there is that people are willing to kill over the Bible, I've yet to hear someone start yelling about Voldamont as they shoot people with their magic wands. (I am sure I spelled his name wrong but the good news is I don't really care).
I think my 25 list would be a bit different:
The bible (sure I'm not religious and if I was I really would not select this option) certainly deserves to be on ANY list of books that effect people. As does the Qur'an and every other religious text (Jewish texts would probably out number them all if there had not been the wholesale slaughter of Jews for just about the entire history of mankind).
Books from guys like Salman Rushdie (UPDATE: Rushdie is on the list), Shakespeare, and I might even include the Harry Potter books should be on the list because they certainly caused a stir. Hell, millions of people wanted to kill Rushdie.
How about the Anarchist Cookbook?
Dr. Seuss?
Tom Sawyer, Of Mice and Men, the Iliad...
Dan Brown might deserve a spot on the list but it would be much lower, historically things like the Roman code of laws would have to far outrank his writing (which overall really is not all that good he just chose a hot subject).
Now, I'll admit that Oprah has had a huge effect on getting people to read but the books she selects don't really change the nation or effect us in one way or another. The same can be said about the 9/11 Report. The event affected us but the book, while pointing out the mistakes we made, didn't really move the country (except to be upset when they found out they paid for a book you can get for free).
Here is a much better list of the top 10 most influential books of all-time. Although I am sure there are arguments to be made with this list as well you at least have to respect the choices for what they are, books that have influenced people's actions or reactions...
At least the list of quotes is a little more respectable (if not amusing): http://www.usatoday.com/news/top25-quotes.htm

My favorite part of the story about this man is the adds on the right side were sex related (from find singles to 'fu*k hot females.' I know the first thing I thought of was "Man those hands turn me on!" So hot!
Former optometrist gets 15 months for sex crime
Apparently this eye doctor had a sexual conversation with a 20 year old woman while checking her eyes and according to some reports showed her pictures of himself naked on his cell phone and then allegedly fondled and kissed her and then asked her if she would like to go back to his place...
I just want to know if he held the photos of his penis up and said "Is this better or worse?"

Not the best way to get to first class...
During a flight from Delhi to London a 74 year old woman passed away in coach. Her body was then moved to first class due to safety reasons (there has to be way to get around the body but coach was filled so they couldn't keep her there).
When the guy sitting next to where they placed the woman noticed she was dead and complained to the airline he was told "To get over it."
Now, I'll give you that he needs to get the hell over it, but you would think that the airline would give him some frequent flyer miles or something, he did spend 6000 dollars on his seat and getting a dead woman stuck next to you for a long flight is a little creapy...
He did get the woman's peanuts though.

Envirowhat?
Today I received a 100 page catalog from a enviromentaly aware company. I receive 3-5 standard catalogs from other enviromentaly aware companies...
All told, a lot of trees are being killed to create these catalogs for these enviromentaly aware companies.
How about a postcard that tells me to go online? That would save a lot of gas, paper, and money!

Jury Duty
After spending eight days on jury duty I discovered one thing about our justice system. It can be boring.
One of the highlights was this little gem from one of the experts (who had a phd and was highly 'decorated' in his field):
"We are international now, we have members all over the US."
I submit this as evidence that no matter where you go, no matter how well educated you are, at any given time you are likely to be stupid.

A Mexican, an Iraqi, and a redneck girl are in the same bar. When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In Mexico our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink from the same one twice."
The Iraqi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In Iraq we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink out of the same one twice either.
The Georgia girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one draft, throws the glass into the air, pulls out her gun, and shoots the Mexican and the Iraqi. Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and asking the bartender for a refill, she says, "In America we have so many illegal Mexicans and Arabs that we don't have to drink with the same ones twice.

Youtube...
I just noticed that almost everyone that posts a video blog on youtube waves their hands around like they are swatting away an army of flies.
It is also possible that all of these people are animatronics put in place to amuse me (although they are not doing a very good job of that).
Only animatronics wave their arms as much as the 'people' in these videos. Which brings me to my next question... why do people post these things?
Do they think anyone cares? Do I think someone cares that I am posting this?
Are we all insane?!?!
Mom?

Scientists in Scotland have invented a 'nanomachine.' A machine able to create nano particles. This is huge for advances in nanotechnology which has the ability to place small machines into our body to do many different tasks.
In a related story scientists in Scotland have been looking for a really small box... in a released statement they said:
"We are not saying we lost a machine able to make nanos, but if anyone comes across one let us know. if only we had made it larger..."

Crazy People...
The world is full of crazy people, point and case:
One of my 'co-workers,' I tend not to call her a co-worker as she doesn't do any work as far as anyone can tell just shuffle things back together (the same things she has done for years, every year) at the last minute, responded to an email that I had sent saying that she had resolved an issue.
I then emailed her back and pointed out that she had resolved a symptom of an issue not the issue itself and that her email was misleading.
She then proceded to complain to my boss that she had taken offense to my email. My boss then told me that I should be "softer" in how I write my emails.
Lets face it people, the US has become a country where you have to tip toe around people's feelings and emotions and this and that because everyone is so sensitve.
I'd like to write this as my response to people who feel that their emotional stability is determined by emails they receive at work:
Dear feeble attempt at a human,
When Charles Darwin wrote that only the strong survive he was pointing out that your sad little emotions that allow you to be upset because someone called you out for overstepping your boundries mean that you should go home and shove your head and a toaster into a full sink of water.
The planet is over populated and we really don't need you here taking up the usable air that remains. The trees do not need to genereate oxygen for you, it really is a waste of their time and I care more about their needs than your fragile emotional issues.
So, my fellow Americans (and anyone else that falls in this catagory) why don't you place an order on the Internet for a pair of balls and stop acting like the world gives a shit about you because it doesn't. We don't care about your feelings, we don't care about the weather where you are, and we don't care about what you did over the weekend.
Sit down, shut up, do your job or get the hell of the damd planet.
Your humble servent,
The last US citizen not on a mood altering drug.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Lets face it, now a days we have a syndrome for everything! Back in the 1800s there was no ADD, there was no RLS. Why? Because people didn't sit on their assess for 16 hours a day and sleep the other 8.
Come on... there is a FOUNDATION for RLS?!?!? You can see it at: http://www.rls.org/ when will doctors come out and just say "GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS YOUR FAT BASTARD!"?
Kids are overweight, parents are out of shape (not that I can say I am any better on this one) and the average US citizen believed George Bush was the best man for the job...
Come on people!!!!

Proof there is a God!
Over the weekend we went to a birthday party where there were about eight or nine kids (maybe). Most of them were related but there were a few kids from the celebrant's school.
One of the mystery children was playing at the train table and Nora was trying to do the same. The little boy did not want her to be there so he pushed her, that didn’t do anything other than move her, so he moved towards here and kept pushing her down the table. When they ran out of table space he shoved her against the couch and she fell. Looking up at the little boy and me I started to move over there but she did not cry so I left it at that.
That is when the little boy who shoved her started to cry. He was so upset that she wanted to play at the train table (which of course wasn’t his and was big enough for all of the kids to play at) that he started to cry and his mother comes running over.
She starts to tell the boy that Nora is a baby and that he has to be careful. At this point I am starting to get a little mad and I really wanted to say, “The only baby I see here is the one that is crying because someone else wanted to play with the trains.” But knowing the horror that probably would have unleashed I let it go and in the end I am glad I did.
Why am I glad… because revenge is a dish best served cold…
While leaving the house with his mother, the little boy did a face plant off of the step right in front of me. I had been waiting for them to come down the stairs so I could go back in. His mother bent over to comfort him, I walked past them both with a HUGE smile on my face.
Vengeance is even better when it is just bad footing that brings it about.
