Childhood Memories

Spent the day in contemplation...reviewing my life.

I remembered a childhood incident not unlike that in the popular film “A Christmas Story”.

All the kids in the neighbourhood had BB guns except for me.

I begged and begged but my mother was adamant that I should never have one convinced as she was that something terrible would happen.  She had visions of me shooting my eye out or perhaps even injuring an innocent bird in the backyard.

Imagine my shock and surprise when one Christmas, when I was 8 years old, I found a brightly wrapped BB gun beneath the tree.

My father had relented and decided that I too should share in the same fun as my friends.

My mother, needless to say, was a bit upset but she finally, though hesitatingly, consented.

I spent that Christmas day running about the house with my new toy causing no shortage of alarm to the assembled family.

I should have heeded her earlier words for true to her warnings and in spite of my tireless effots to ‘play safely’ something terrible did happen.

I killed my grandparents.

With a knife.

It's raining....

It's raining.

I like the rain.  Very relaxing.

Decided to go for a walk...in the rain.  Just around the corner.  Maybe a little further.
Walked...and walked some more.
Got wet.  Not too much but wet nonetheless.

What was that line from "Play it Again, Sam'?
"I like the rain...it washes memories off the sidewalk".

Yeah, that was it.  Washes memories off the sidewalk.

Not all of them though.

Ended up at the ImpPub.

Then home.  To listen to music (which I don't really do all that much anymore.

Relaxing.

And then..............

I think he's at the door.

I don't care what anyone says...THE NHL IS FIXED!!!!!

I just haven't been getting enough sheep lately.

I KNEW IT!!!!!

Well...THIS PROVES IT!!!!

Or...maybe it doesn't.  Either way...I'm running out of taffy and must do a laundry.

Mice, gerbils dead in 30-day Russian space ordeal; lizards live

LOS ANGELES—A crew of Mongolian gerbils may have gone where no Mongolian gerbil has gone before, but they did not come back alive. A Russian spacecraft filled with mice, lizards and other animals has returned to Earth—but with the majority of its furred passengers apparently dead.

The Bion-M experiment, launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on April 19, carried 45 mice, 15 geckos, 18 Mongolian gerbils, 20 snails and a number of different plants, seeds and microorganisms, according to a Russian state news site.

About half of the mice died, but the lizards reportedly survived. The Mongolian gerbils all expired, apparently due to an equipment failure, said Vladimir Sychev of the Russian Academy of Sciences, according to AFP.

The satellite was sent into a near-Earth orbit 575 kilometres above Earth, far higher than the International Space station. Lasting 30 days, the mission represented the longest time that Russian animal astronauts had been sent into space. A previous mission in 2007 lasted 12 days and only went up to about 280 kilometres in altitude.

Perhaps ironically, the ill-fated Mongolian gerbils were thought to have an advantage in space, since the rodents live in harsh environments and can survive without water for relatively long periods, according to an agency release weeks before the launch. Half the mice were expected to die during the journey, according to Sychev.
Although many of the animals died, they will still provide the researchers with valuable science: Each animal was numbered and implanted with a tiny microchip that would contain the “entire biography of the animal,” according to an agency web page.

Feet

Yes.
These are my shoes.
And, within them, are my feet.
So don't say you've been misled.

Great Ideas...

So...I'm laying in bed and get this great idea.
Start snickering to myself "hey, this is really funny" etc.
Make mental note to get to work on it first thing in the morning.
Of course the most important thing is to make sure this hasn't been done before.
So I check on Google.
Well...you know the rest.

Damn kids.

However, I think MY tagline would have been better:

PRAY FOR SALT!!!

Break Time!

I'll happily work for any company that has one of these in their break room.
I wonder if it comes in any other 'flavors'?

What do they mean?

How the hell should I know.

Lyrics to a great song composed for a great movie.

TREES LOUNGE

Sit here in Trees Lounge
Pour it in my mouth
I Need something to forget
What got me in this mess

I'm feeling less and less
My Judgment is not clear
I do things that I fear,
I would never do

Sit here in Trees Lounge
Order one more round
You have a pretty name,
Pretty like your name

Lets play a drinking game
And If I win I get to,
Take you home and if you,
Win, you go home with me

'Cause I need something to forget,
What got me in this mess
Feeling less and less
My judgment is not clear
I do things that I fear,
I would never do

LEGEND

There can be no good without evil,
No love without hate.
Life needs death,
Innocence breeds lust.
There can be no heaven without hell,
No light without....ME
I AM DARKNESS!!!!!

What does this mean?
It scares me.
But, then again, I've always been scared of penguins.
They're birds...and they dress so well!!!!

Light Sleeper

Great song from a great movie.
