No matter what is happening in life…

“Think of the beauty still left around you and be happy.” Anne Frank

Seriously…look at this face:

Did I ever mention that my Lucy is a compulsive liar?

Yes, yes you would Lucy and you know it.  You lie all the time!  You claim that we are being invaded on a regular basis and proceed to launch yourself, with your *BARK* on full volume, at any thump, bump, or sound that is even remotely close to a door knock…

…also that you claim no one ever feeds you…just so you can get seconds.  You know you do!

Not to mention the fact that if it rattles, clinks, or scrapes, CLEARLY the world is ending and you wind up in a shivering ball of shaking puppy on my lap and leaning so far into me that I have difficulty breathing.  Imagine…a fifty pound lap dog trying to crawl under your shirt, good grief!

Yes.  But since you are otherwise a most noble and admirable canine, Lucy, I don’t hold any of this against you.  You’re too durn cute.

Hum dum dum ditty dum
Hum dum dum

Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it’s rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day today

..because Friday = fun. :D

As in email and comment spam.

Why do spammers do it?  Who is paying these people to troll internet blogs and message boards with the sole purpose of telling people to “buy viagra!” They must know on some level that their tactics are beyond useless…I suppose though, that the 1 in 400,000 persons that is actually stupid enough to fall for it is what makes it worth it for them.  THANKS ALOT 1 STUPID PERSON IN 400,000!!!

I must take this opportunity to introduce you to 419 Scambaiter.com.  They make an art out of stringing along these spamming scammers and it is hilarious the things they get them to do.  *snicker*

To the ejits that contintue to spam my comment section…please, save yourself the trouble and just move along.  I have spam block…you ain’t getting through anyway.

Ciao’!

So depressing in fact that I escaped with my youngest and we went to the local art museum, which she declared to be “exactly like the one in ‘Night Museum’!  Except there’s no dinosaurs and it isn’t as tall and it’s missing the army men and cowboys.”  It’s true. I was looking forward to the army men and cowboys.  Oh well.

We tooled around looking at strange abstracts, saw a genuine Rembrandt (last self portrait) and some truly beautiful Japanese artifacts from the Edo period.

All in all…it’s still cold and gray outside but I can see a bit of sunlight peeking through now. Amazing the different perspective a little bit of art can render.

(in which I reveal my personal enjoyment of conspiracy theories – the entertainment value is, after all, quite high, lol!)

You were, of course, aware there is a movie coming out right?

Perhaps Hollywood is trying to warn us eh?  Or, more likely, throwing fuel on the fire. *smirk* As conspiracy theories go, this is one of my favorites; that movies and tv shows are actually REAL but presented as fiction to desensitise people so the ultra-sensational won’t be impossible for them to comprehend or…to throw people off track as to what’s “really” going on behind the curtain because, after all – “that’s too unbelievable – it only happens in movies”.

Still, it’s pure genius.  Take the show “Jericho” as a prime example.  Here’s a series that takes great pains on educating (or miss-educating?  but that’s a whole other conspiracy theory, heh) the viewer on what this small town did after a nuclear explosion.  And what was going on at the time this show premiered?

National Preparedness Month – September 2006

If you’re interested, you can get a neck-deep view of this whole conspiracy theory by checking here, here, here, and here.  Entertaining reading indeed, lol!  :D

Either way…this whole 2012 thing will probably wind up being a self-fulfilled prophecy because whenever you get enough undereducated/easy to sway, panic-ridden, startled people inside the idea that <choose your 2012 end of the world scenario> is going to happen…they will rush the banks and stores, buy out the shelves disrupting the food distribution as distributors try to keep pace with panicked demand which will cause speculation and greedy a-holes will gouge the public with higher prices on everything from electricity to toilet paper and eventually, the end of civilization will happen anyway because we were trying to prepare for it.  Ironic no?

I’m a big fan of irony, but practical enough to stock up on peanut butter now- not because I fear what happens when the Mayan calendar ends, but rather because people ARE stupid and will bring about the very thing they are trying to avoid because they cannot calm the f*ck down long enough to realize that “hey man…it’s just a calendar.”

Though…as Albert Einstein is supposed to have once said, “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”  All I have to say is, where are the bees going?  Do they know something we don’t?  <insert creepy music>

It’s such a lovely thought…that bubbles can make life better, and they do, they do.  So who can fault artist Stuart Semple for trying to brighten the day for as many Brits as he could.

“I’ve had enough of the doom and gloom in the air and I wanted to show something completely positive floating up in the sky,” he said.

“This was the most straightforward way I could think of to literally contribute something happy to the atmosphere.

“I am hoping it might put a smile on a few people’s faces as they go through their day.”

The way things are headed, we need all the bubbly goodness we can get.

This is full. of. AWESOME! XD
