Just a bunch of links …
- It’s ALL about ME. Yes, me. It’s not surprising since our parents generation grew up on watching West Side Story. All I can think of is Natalie Wood singing “I am pretty, oh so pretty …” Wait, West Side Story is one of my favorite movies, what am I talking about?
- Narcissistic society? It’s all because we were spanked as kids. You know because “Spanking, moreover, reinforces negative memories in the child’s mind, Newman said. Parents should aim instead to build “prominent, happy memories” of childhood for their kids, she said.” Really? Is that so? Good thing my brothers and I have that oh so, aggressive behavior later in life. What morons.
- I gotta go find this British chocolate. It’s like when you go to McDonalds outside of the U.S. and the food taste soooo good because they use the bad oil. It’s gotta be just like that. It has to be.
- The anti-green reason for using non-rechargeable batteries.
- Sounds cool. Really wish I was this creative in college, or now.
- Wanna know what swine flu feels like? Ask Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
- Maryland finally announces their recommendations for the cost of using the ICC.
- A co-worker and I were talking about this maybe a year or so ago. We should have patented the idea!!! I find it funny (or irritating depending on how you look at it) that they want to introduce a bill to yet again, protect us from ourselves. I guess air pollution is all the craze but nothing about noise pollution. I can get the bit about those who are blind but everyone else? Hello! Pay attention to your surroundings. Wait. Wait. That would require us to live outside our narcissistic, self-centered world. Yep, morons.

For a Sick Friend …
A friend of ours has been ill for the past several months and the doctors have no clue what’s causing him to be sick. A few of us have been praying for him, fasting for him, sending him DVD collections to watch and basically hope that God will heal him. Not that I don’t want my friend to get well, but I secretly hope that when they figure out what’s wrong with him and cure him, my friend will send his story to the writers of House to make into a future episode! That would be so awesome … for him.
During worship, we song one of his favorite songs …
Hope you get better soon! Let me know if you need season 2 & 3.

Anyone Want a 7″ CRT TV? …
When reading this article I thought they were going to be talking about how all the new flat-screen TVs have so many components made from hazardous material that recycling centers are refusing to recycle them. That was not the case. It did remind me about how we have a 7″ CRT TV that we’ve been trying to give away but no one wants it. Eventually we’ll take it to our local recycling center or donate it to our churches upcoming White Elephant sale. Now it just sits on the bench in our foyer.
On a side note, has it raised any eyebrows that this whole swine flu scare is causing people to overreact and do stuff that doesn’t make sense?
From my understanding, swine flu is a virus. The CDC says to wash your hands frequently which makes sense because the act of washing hands with soap and water and drying them off causes any crap on your hands to literally be washed off. What I don’t get is why there is this big hoopla to use anti-bacterial hand sanitizer specifically to combat swine flu. Fact 1: swine flue is a virus. Fact 2: Anti-bacterial anything does nothing to a virus.
Sooooooooo what makes sense here? They’ve actually said swine flu tends to attack those who have healthier immune systems as opposed to those who are weak in health. Aren’t we just putting a huge target on people by telling them to keep ultra healthy? (Is this a secret plot to fix the Social Security problem?) That and is this the same path that health officials went down with the over use of penicillin back in the day? Now due to the lack of foresight we have penicillin resistant bacteria that is plaguing the world.
Could someone fill me in on why all this stuff makes sense to everyone but me.

THIS IS SPARTA! …
Now whenever I see one of these little Caution tents I can’t stop thinking about 300. -
Fun With Play Doh …
Apparently, a company in Singapore made these ads. There’s a slight uproar since it’s Play Doh and you know that’s for kids and stuff. Maybe they’re trying to make it into some hip party activity or something to compete with the Wii or stuff like that. Meh, doesn’t matter to me. I just think whomever made the actual Play Doh items should get a big thumbs up
because I remember as a wee lad I would have the hardest time sculpting anything out of it. Then again even with clay I’m not a gifted sculptor. -
9.5 Squares …
The reason I’m 9.5 squares of toilet paper round is because of delicious Papa John deals. Not only is there the Redskins Monday special but there’s also the Maryland Terps Football Tuesday special. Basically it’s the same as the Redskin special of a $9.99 cheese pizza with a free topping for each touchdown and double for a win. Well the Terps beat Rutgers in OT with five TDs!!! That’s ten toppings baby. TEN toppings. We only got six: pineapple, ham, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
In other news: They really should have made the tag line – Luuuuuuuke, I am your father.

Me = Size of a Pregnant Woman …
Yesterday we went to a birthday / baby shower for a friend of mine. It was good seeing all my old buddies and their wives and the birthday boy’s parents. During the night we played a few baby shower games of which one was to guess how many squares of toilet paper the expectant mother’s waist is. Some people were way off (16+ squares) while the father in-law was on the dot with 9.5 squares. I then proceeded to measure my waist and I’m 9.5 squares round – the same size as my 7-month pregnant friend!
Therefore, I ran on the treadmill for 22+ minutes and worked out today.
