Happy Turkey Day!

Have fun you guys, and eat well!

Thanksgiving is a holiday that inspires me...

I just like the idea of listing what I'm thankful for, and this year, the list is long:

I'm thankful for...
...being able to be me
...my kids
...my friends
...my God
...my family
...my job
...writing
...being able to face the world with a smile, and not having it forced

But most of all, the one thing I'm proudest of, and the one thing I will defend, even though I don't defend the elected authorities, I'm proud of this land I live in.

I think Mr Shakespeare said it best:

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

~ William Shakespeare - King Richard II. Act ii. Sc. 1.

(no subject)

Torture, Bombs, and Iran calling for a withdrawal.

One man said he had been whipped with a cable and then had salt rubbed in the wound, while another said his captors had tried to pull out his toenails.

What kind of person does that to another human being?

The fact that both Bush and Blair have been through elections since this war started, and have survived despite all their lies, scheming, and warmongering, is evidence that either the democratic process doesn't work, or the majority want blood for blood's sake. If the latter is true, then I want to find a new planet.

Winter Driving

So it's around 2 degrees C, and the roads are slick and icy. I'm approaching a known hazardous junction, and I stop at the light just as it turns red.

One car tried to speed straight ahead once his light went green, another tried to take a turn across him at breakneck speed.
Regardless to say, there was a crash.

Both drivers got out of their cars quickly, so they were okay.

But the odd thing was that the other cars just wove between the two crashed cars as if it was normal.

Seeing as the drivers were fine, I drove off, after the light turned green, of course...

Thanks to the monkey...

Hot Damn

Download it, because you'll want to watch it again.
