Real American Idols

// May 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // General

As you celebrate this holiday weekend, please remember who the REAL American Idols are. Take the time to thank a veteran when you see him or her. Let them know that we all appreciate their service to our country.

Legislating Common Sense

// March 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // General

I just love it when our politicians waste their time coming up with legislation for things that are just common sense. Do I wish that people would wear their seat belts more often? Of course I do. Should we ask our police officers to start pulling people over for it without any other violation? Absolutely not! I’d much rather have them worrying about other crimes instead!

The Blind Girl

// December 9th, 2008 // No Comments » // General

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’ The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

….the world changed forever. Whether it was good or bad is up to you. Thanks Mom and Dad for giving me the life that I have. I’m eternally indebted to you.

The Fail Blog

Dammit. First it was “Cliff Yablonski Hates You“. Then it was “I Can Has Cheezeburger”. Now “The Fail Blog” is the latest web site that I have wasted too much time looking at — although there are some really funny “fails” on the site.

Just Another Lame Blogger

// May 15th, 2008 // No Comments » // General

I always thought it was bad when other bloggers said they had a blog and then only updated it once a month. I can’t believe it’s been a month since I posted anything here. Lame. Very lame. Must fix this.
