Pearls of Wisdom by Dave Barry

My philosophical noodlings on this blog, and in a few of my books, has produced wonderfully entertaining angry reactions from people who - and this is just a guess - are self-important, humorless, autofellating, ass hats.

LOL.  best blog post intro EVER.

Ken Kesey - "Geometry"
If you draw a line
Precisely safe and parallel to mine,
We can sail together
Clear on past the stars
And never meet.
And since the holes between
These points of distant heat
Are deep and blind,
Sight a course for collision
And hang on tight!
...the precision of our loving
Is the lethal kind.

Let it be known that I am the worst person ever to come to in times of tragedy.  I have this uncanny ability to say JUST the wrong thing, so for my part and others' benefit, I've learned mostly just to STFU.  When it came time to write a note in a sympathy card at work (a coworker's husband passed away after an aneurysm), I had to google "messages ( Read more... )

Resolution #8 complete!  1 down, 9 to go.  So ambitious... I'm Moleelicious.  :|

Here's the link to my Colorado pics, if you are so inclined.

Pics are slow to load, but the Flash bit is so pretty.  (You'll need Flash 7, so if you don't feel like DLing it, feck off then.)

I forget how I stumbled upon this word, but I like it a lot.  Lebenslust means zest for life.  Tis nice trying to be the exclamation point in an otherwise dreary day.  It helps that I work next to a craicsponge, and I feel obligated to balance out the bitchiness -- contrarian that I am, Libran that I be.

That said, I have plans.  Big auld plans ( Read more... )

Sometimes, it's nice in the new year to review what you've done the past year.  A sense of accomplishment is a great thing to have.  So here's the list of places I visited in 2006 ( Read more... )

Hug O' War

I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
-- Shel Silverstein

Counting

Thinking in terms of one
Is easily done -
One room, one bed, one chair,
One person there,
Makes perfect sense; one set
Of wishes can be met,
One coffin filled.

But counting up to two
Is harder to do;
For one must be denied
Before it's tried.

- Philip Larkin

Larkin is brilliant, isn't he?

So today, I'm absolutely knackered.  Watched Hitch, cos a nap ( Read more... )

What a way to foreshadow.

Leos called best drivers, Libras worstOne day after I read that, I got in my first accident. There were no injuries, but I predict my bank account will be hurting by the time all the shiz is sorted out. I'm expecting all my cash flow to be directed right to damages. No fun for me for the next few months. :/ How ( Read more... )
