I'm A Little Saddened

Is anyone in the market for a "show pony"? My employers have listed their version of a Shetland pony on Craigslist. When I found this out, I was extremely saddened.

The mom told me that the dad would probably let me take him for free though.

I would in a skinny minute.

HOW-EV-ER
1)I don't have my own house.
2)This pony would be bad for business.

Today is the Day

That they will inform me of how many classes I will need to be taking over the next academic year.

Cross your fingers that it'll only be five or six classes instead of 18-20 classes.

Blues In The Night

Last week in order to keep my sanity, I was playing the 40's station on satellite radio for the kiddos. I figured it was probably the least offensive station, so no worries. I heard a couple songs on there which I knew, one of which is the title of this post. I feel like I've posted about this before, but of course I was slightly more familiar with the Bugs Bunny version. Naturally. The first snippet is roughly 3:15 and the second is at 4:00.



While watching this little gem two thoughts came to mind:

1) For some reason the vulture reminds me of Don Knotts.

2) Bugs Bunny does a lot of cross dressing.

3) I wish I could rat tail like that. The only thing I have ever effectively rat tailed in my life are flies.

Quotes From A Book

I was reading a book the other day. I had started a while back with probably her most popular novel, and from there decided that I wanted to read more of her works. They generally end on a positive note, definitely have some food for thought, and while reading my minds often wanders (in a good way), relating what I'm reading to now. That probably doesn't make sense, but in any event there were some quotes that I really liked, so you get to read them here, b/c my FB is so full of quotes I've got a "backup page" full of them.

"I'd like to know everything in the world."
"It's more than everything in the world though...It's become much bigger than that. The search for knowledge and truth can be the most exciting thing there is as long as it takes you toward God instead of away from Him." (p184)

Quoting Einstein:
The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is utterly insignificant reflection. This feeling is the guiding principle of his life and work, in so far as he succeeds in keeping himself from the shackles of selfish desire. It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages. (p185)

"'The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from self...What is the meaning of human life, or, for that matter, of the life of any creature? To know an answer to this question means to be religious. You ask: Does it make any sense, then, to post this question? I answer: The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life." (p185)

Going, Going, Gone

Thoughts to myself whilst getting ready for work this AM.

1. From the moment I woke up, no wait scratch that from the time my bug eyed dog who dons a mildly crazed look heres rain in three counties over, she is panting like crazy, shaking all over and looking for a sound proof hole to hide in. Apparently this soundproof hole exists under the far corner against the wall of my bed. This morning around roughly 3:30AM, she made her way in to my room her collar jingling to beat the band, due to the aforementioned rain craze. You know what I started singing? Ni-Hao Kai lan theme song. Oh yes.

2. My deodorant is off exploring and discovering new adventures, while I am left here to sweat it out all by myself.* This was while I was searching for the deodorant amidst the readying rush this AM.

3. My brain has officially checked out. It may return on...(indistinct mumbling and counting...thirty days hath September...it's not a leap year....carry the one.....divide by three...) I'll have to get back to you.

4. Oh crap I'm gonna be late!

*If this comment alone doesn't illustrate my current state of mind, I don't think anything else will.

I'm Losing It

Not in the traditional Sally Field type mental breakdown, but more along the lines of losing steam. Yeah I know, but I'm young and oft times impatient. I'm still sticking to "The Master Plan" as DM would call it, but then again by MW's definition I guess that would mean that this particular slump would be covered. hehe



Enough with the cryptic descriptions. I'll just say that right now, I'm having a hard time waiting for things (ie school) to start, but I guess that means this would be the "planning phase."

Our Dogs Have Fleas

That is all.

Isn't there a song about that?
