Another Quick Poll

Which is worse, to hear someone say no or to not hear them say yes?


Just wondering.

Juxtaposed

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.

--
Horace Mann





Remember, tomorrow is Public Sleeping Day.

Which Is It?

Now that Google bought Blogger and messed around with it, broke it, fixed it (mostly), and forced us all to change, should we be calling it Glogger or Boogle?

Just wondering.

:-)

Love and Hate

I put them both into Google and hate returns about 255,000,000 hits while love returns about 898,000,000.

So I guess that's a good thing.


Nothing more profound than that today.



Oh, and tomorrow is National Pistachio Day.

Owner's Manual

Everything comes with an owner's manual except people. I want a human being owner's manual so I can look up answers to all the silly things that don't make sense.

Like how can you be out in intense cold (and I mean the kind where you can come inside and keep your coat on for at least a half an hour without feeling warm) for hours, and the bottoms of your feet can still sweat? What page is that on?


:-)

Good Day

Ever have one of those days when you decide to do something that wasn't on the menu, just for yourself and everything after that turns out decent?

I did that today, and I got to see an old friend, two free meals, a bunch of little tasks taken care of, and even had some good news e-mails waiting when I got back.

I wish there was some way I could share good fortune when it (occasionally) comes my way.



(Sometimes I can, Secret Agent check your e-mail.)

Can You Keep Him?

Vice President Dick is supposed to be visiting Australia today. Could you guys take him to one of those big open spaces and let him wander around for the next couple years? We'd owe you a big party, one nation to another. (Please?)

Oh, don't let him get his hands on a gun. Last time he shot one of his friends in the face.

:-)

I Must Hurry

Tomorrow is International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day.

I don't even know how many countries have Dog Biscuits. I better get a move on if I'm going to appreciate them all before the day ends. (Does that mean I have to taste them?)

:-)

Paris 1910

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

It's...

Hoodie Hoo Day today. No, I don't know what that means.

Tomorrow is Card Reading Day. I wonder if that's tarot cards, business cards, greeting cards, or playing cards.

Have I forgotten any kind of cards?

I can't get this out of my head

Quiero ser tu heroe

Can´t Stop Loving You

So you’re leaving
In the morning
On the early train
But I could say everything’s alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye

Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
Oh, I could say that’s the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won’t know
That I was lying

Because I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
No, I won´t stop loving you
Why should I

We took a taxi
To the station
Not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I don’t know

Feeling humble
Heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you won’t know
That I´ll be crying

Because I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
No, I won’t stop loving you
Why should I

Even try
I´ll always be here by your side (why why why)
I never wanted to say goodbye
I´m always here if you change, change your mind

So your leaving
In the morning
On the early train
But I could say everything´s alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying, no

Because I can´t stop loving you
(can´t stop loving you)
No, I can´t stop loving you
(I won´t stop loving you)
No, I won´t stop loving you
Why should I even try
Because I can´t stop loving you
(can´t stop loving you)
No, I can´t stop loving you
(that´s all I can do)
No, I won´t stop loving you
Why should I
(why should I)
Why should I
(tell me why)
Why should I even try

Ambiguous Holiday

Tomorrow is National Battery Day.
I'm hoping it's the electric kind, rather than the hitting kind.


Relax, the next day is National Chocolate Mint Day.

Got a bit bored and wandered around a dating site for a while. Do these girls think about what they say in their profiles and how it looks to guys? I'm guessing not, which tends to make them look a bit self-centered.

Sorry, just rambling.

It's Here

Happy red flowers and chocolate day to everybody.

Guess What

Now, with lots of wind too!

I`m With You

I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound


Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here I know
cause nothing's going right
and everything's a mess
and no one likes to be alone


Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you


Oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea


It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you


Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you


Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

Avril Lavigne

HA!

I was watching episodes of Smallville on You Tube to fill in some gaps in the somewhat random progress of the local station. There was a girl in Singapore who'd posted a bunch she'd obviously recorded from braodcast. Other people in countries where they can't get it at all or are years behind were gratefully watching too. Warner came along and had them taken down for copyright infringement because they feel like they need to get paid twice (at least) for a product that was already paid for.

So it turns out I know somebody who has all of it up to the current season and has graciously agreed to let me borrow them and finish watching without giving the greedy corporation one cent more.



I'm really tired of corporate greed. I don't imagine they'll understand what regular people think until it's too late for most of them. Even Microsoft is walking a little close to the edge these days.

Coming up close

One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car
Went driving in the summer, promises in every star
Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing
I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness

There was a farm house that had long since been deserted
We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface
We thought just for an instant we could see the future
We thought for once we knew what really was important

[Chorus]
Coming up close
everything sounds like welcome home
Come home
and oh, by the way
don't you know that I could make
a dream that's barely half the way come true
I wanted to say --
but anything I could have said
I felt somehow that you already knew

We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape
We drove around the fields until it started getting late
And I went back to my hotel room on the highway
And he just got back in his car and drove away

[Chorus x2]

Sarcasm On

Dear Cruise Line People,

Your Television advertisement claims "At any given monent, there are a million ways to have fun." Can you furnish me with a list of the top one hundred thousand ways?

Thanks.

Sleepy Time

Sorry if I haven't been keeping up with comments and return comments, we migrated two websites to a new server and reset a whole bunch of e-mail accounts tonight. And started creating a whole new thing at another domain I got a couple months back. Now my brain feels fuzzy.

I'll try to be more attentive to blogging tomorrow. (Oh, go ahead, say it.)

:-)

Dawn

Let It Snow

No, I didn't watch the Super Bowl.

I've been watching older episodes (on You Tube) of Smallville since the station that shows it here (syndicated) just seems to pick them at random from any past season. It makes it a little hard to follow the timeline.

It's still chilly here. Now there might be snow too.

Holidays - Foodydays?

Today is Create A Vacuum Day.

Tomorrow is Disaster Day. (Let's hope not.)

Relax, there are some food days.

The 12th is National Plum Pudding Day.
The 15th is National Gum Drop Day.
The 19th is National Chocolate Mint Day.
The 24th is National Tortilla Chip Day.
The 26th is National Pistachio Day.

I think you can still celebrate our National food days even if you live somewher else without the USFDA coming after you. :-)

And it you find those tiring, you're in luck,
The 28th is Public Sleeping Day.

Placeholder

I'm not going to post anything insightful today because I posted twice yesterday.

Okay, one of them was kind of a whiny rant, but the other one was long. It had thought provoking depth too.
