MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY:
(Yes, sometimes I get a few days ahead. And I'm dyslexic, so cut me a little slack if I mess up words and don't catch it :-) Thanks. )
4/18/2007: Life is like a great book, and I hope i don't miss a single word. 4/17/2007: Most people who sit on their high horse have heavy saddlebags filled with deep dark secrets. 4/16/2007: It is much easier to destroy, hate, and blame than it is to create, love, and forgive. Society can only better itself if it recaptures its sense of patience. 4/15/2007: Have the strength to believe in yourself; even when no one else does. 4/14/2007: I love coffee, and I love Starbucks; but the more I drink Starbucks coffee, the more I begin to realize that I love the name and the place more than their coffee itself. In this case, I think bitter, strong, over-priced coffee has been given an artifical boost by a clever name, appealing 'global-oriented' marketing, and cute baristas :-) In a blind, side-by-side taste test, I bet most people would choose a fresh brewed cup of Folgers or Chock-Full-O-Nuts for an enjoying cup of java-joe. 4/13/2007: I'm white-trash and I'm proud of it. And if you don't think I quite fit the profile of white trash, well... shame on you for stereotyping! :-) 4/12/2007: While we're talking about general probabilities; which do you think is more likely: that no two people would EVER have the same fingerprints, or that at some point, it is INEVITABLE that two people have the same fingerprints (given the number of people that exist now (and historically) and given the relatively small area the fingerprint covers and the relatively small number of curved lines contained within the print)? Just a thought. 4/11/2007: I neither believe nor disbelieve in the 'bible code.' My mother had a friend in the early 1900s who told her about it (nearly a century before it became well-known through some popular novels.) I don't think we have enough information to draw a serious conclusion one way or another about it, but I do suspect one thing. I suspect that given a large enough source and the right cipher, one can probably find targeted messages in literally ANY art... whether novels, paintings or even instrumental music. Obviously the cipher is the key. Perhaps it is the "cipher" which is the work of God. 4/10/2007: In order to see the invisible, one must first grasp the concept of the five dimensions representing an object: length, width, height, time, and CONTAINER (as in, in which of the parallel universes/dimensions does this event/object truly exist?) 4/9/2007: There are so many things I want to believe; like, that god won't be explained away scientifically, and that life exists elsewhere in the universe, and that love is more than a complex series of biochemical reactions combined with genetic toggles inside our bodies...4/8/2007: 1 in 10 people, at any given moment, are touching some part of their face while driving in their car. (I actually counted everyone I saw on the road over a period of a year or so to come up with that estimate. Yeah, I was pretty bored.)4/7/2007: I don't know about the rest of you, but when I say 'no pun intended', I usually intended it. 4/6/2007: It is better to forgive than forget (NOTE: it is also better to live than to regret.)4/5/2007: If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then why is most breakfast food full of sugar, fat, grease, cholesterol, and salt (things we are repeatedly told are very bad for us.)4/4/2007: ...so this kid shows up at his private school wearing a tank top, violating the school uniform dress code. When asked to change or leave, he cites his "constitutional right to bare arms." (at least kids are LISTENING!)4/3/2007: I've been following global warming since the late 70s. Curiously, back then, the leading scientists actually called it "global cooling", and the disaster headlines were reading, "New ice age coming?" Moral of my story? Cut the greenhouse gases and fossil fuels. Yes. Absolutely. Do it! --- BUT --- don't base that decision on inconclusive 'scientific facts' please.4/2/2007: Contrary to popular belief, there is NO solid scientific proof that supports the theory of evolution. On the other hand, by its very faith-based nature, there is of course no scientific proof to support the theory of creationism. At the risk of offending literally "everyone", I would like to suggest we stop flogging a dead horse, and instead of trying to prove that the earth is either flat or triangular, why don't we actually start looking for an answer that has some actual evidence to support it???4/1/2007: sometimes, just HEARING the word "DECAF" antagonizes me.3/31/2007: .. maybe other people born on that day that we can't stand, etc.). To rectify this, I have begun the new "Floating BIrthday" concept. If we can do it for Presidents, then damn it, we can do it for us!!! For me, the first Saturday in October is now designated as my birthday (subject to change), so mark your calendar!!!3/4/2007: Some mornings I wake up and think, "There isn't enough coffee in the world to deal with this ...!"3/3/2007: If I had a webcam, I sometimes wonder if I'd embarrass myself by using it.3/2/2007: Have you ever tried to reach out and help someone and it totally falls apart and backfires in your face? Have you ever trusted someone, only to find out that everything you thought you knew was a lie? This is the story of my life.3/1/2007: Don't you hate when someone returns a book (or something) they've borrowed from you, and you find curly little hairs in it?2/30/2007: Does it bother anyone else that February arbitrarily was elected NOT to have a "30th"? To recitfy this, I have decided to devote three hours of the last day of February and call it February 30th. On years which do not have a February 29th, the three hours prior to that are designated Feb. 29th as well. Keep this in mind if I ever make a date with you for Feb. 30th. We're meeting close to midnight :-) Hmmm. this has the earmark of some "sexy new upscale slang", doesn't it? "Let's get together on February 30th!" That could (almost) only mean one thing!2/28/2007: 2007... Think about it. This is more amazing than you realize. I never thought I'd be able to say I have lived across decades, centuries, and even millennia without raising anyone's eyebrows suspiciously. And we have ALL done this (if you're old enough to surf MySpace anyway!)2/27/2007: I wonder if the moth thinks it finally sees the "light at the end of the tunnel" just before it hits the bug-zapper.2/26/2007: Treat an animal like an animal and it will never be anything more than an animal. Treat it like a person, and it will aspire and rise to that recognition, to the best of its ability. The same is also true for humans.2/25/2007: Just ONCE I'd like to see the fairytale PRINCESS take the sword from the stunned Prince (who stands there cowering in fear) and kill the dragon herself. (go Princess Leia!)2/24/2007: Have you ever been so close to someone you could sense when they were thinking about you (even if you were miles away) ?2/23/2007: Everyone's skin is the same colour. Only the pigment below it is different. Basing judgments of people on something as superifical as that is like trying to guess someone's shoe size by the shade of eye shadow they wear.2/22/2007: A lot of leading psychologists seem to like making the astounding claim that boys and girls are different in so many ways. Not to be a whistle-blower, but, seriously; do you need a degree to be aware of that?2/21/2007: Have you ever noticed it's a lot harder to say 'love you' to a friend, when you actually mean it ?2/20/2007: Reading a book online, is like taking a bath without soap.2/19/2007: If you've ever driven through the McDonald's drive thru at dinnertime, you know that "fast food" is neither fast, nor food.2/18/2007: A leaky waterbed is no substitute for a nice cold shower.2/17/2007: Most guys will swear that they never jerk-off. It has been proven that this is a lie in almost all cases. (I, however, do not :-) )2/16/2007: Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Just when you think it can't get any better, it does. Moral of the story? Don't think. Just do it!2/15/2007: Do you ever feel lonely, even when you're smiling?2/14/2007: It always makes me nervous that the abbreviation for Valentines Day is V.D.
