Facebook

You know what I think? Unlikely, but I think that Facebook is "Hotel California". You can checkout any time, but you can never leave....

I just saw the most ridiculous thing

I just saw the most ridiculous thing and it's not the first time either. A guy, puts several bags into the trunk of his car, pulls his car up to the dumpster, opens his trunk and places the bags inside, gets back in his car, drives back to his parking spot and goes back in to his apartment. I am talking about driving 150 feet and back just to take out the trash and all because he was too lazy to walk???
He looked like maybe a 30 year old. That's what I didn't get. He didn't look overweight, yet...
I better, clarify. My computer desk is right next to my patio door so I see many things. I'm not a lazy person myself, it's just Sunday morning and I'm relaxing. But to see that just made me sad.

Spaghetti Trick!

Did you know that a piece of dry spaghetti can be used to light a candle or any hard to reach area. (Note that I said, "dry". Never try this with a wet one)

The mysterious nature of all life

I think that the mysterious nature of all life is somehow related to the elusiveness of it's Creator.  Life is all over this world.  You can't escape it.  Even in the most unlikely places, you can find it thriving in some form.  The Creator smiles as we wonder, and says, "I was here all the time".

The Big Bang Theory lyrics

The Big Bang Theory lyrics

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

Since the dawn of man is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea

See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

Windmills

I saw thousands and thousands of windmills all over the states on my trip.  In the Rochelle, IL. area alone there is a windmill corridor as far as the eye can see.  I have one question though, what happens to them once we run out of wind?

Black Friday

I've never fallen for the "Black Friday" obsession. There is nothing I need so bad that I have to camp outside to purchase. This whole idea was created by greedy retailers attempting to push their products at consumers by creating the lure of "low prices today only!" Also, most if not all "holidays" are all created and promoted by the same. When will we all wake up to this simple truth? I believe in free enterprise, but not at the cost of enslaving the consumers mind.
