I'm jealous of Today's New Band. They're from San Francisco. I spent a month in San Francisco a couple of years ago and I'd happily give my eye teeth to go back to there RIGHT NOW. San Francisco is one of those cities where all of the things you've heard, and all of the things you haven't heard about it are true, and very visible. I was repeatedly told that it was 'very European', but it wasn't in
I think I'm going crazy. Last week I just lost it. I looked around our house and I think something just popped in my brain. A brain fart maybe.

Not one inch of floor space, toys, toys, everywhere. So I got

There's been many law changes to the game of Rugby Union since Bill ran with the soccer ball in 1823. These changes have passed with mixed reactions, but nothing like the farce that is the current ELV debacle.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein, German Theoretical Physicist, Albert Einstein books//How many insane people do you know? If you're life is like mine, you probably run into people who just don't get it quite often. They complain about problems and frustrations, but they never change their behavior. Instead, they continue to do the same things over and over again, as Einstein says, and expect things to magically get better.The opposite of insanity is doing the right things over and over again and producing superior results.People who consistently achieve great results understand that they get there by leveraging their strengths and repeating positive behaviors more often. They don't spend a lot of

Anybody still complaining about the games being boring?First, the Tennessee game. I still don't know how American hung with them so long. The Volunteers ended up winning by 15, but it was 50-49 with 5:58 to go. The Eagles (that'd be American) stayed in the game by controlling the boards, with a 37-25 rebounding advantage. But they only shot 36%, and turned it over 21 times. After the last two finishes, this doesn't seem all that exciting, but this game was incredibly close for a long time.Stephen Curry. What else is there to say? He finished with 40 for Davidson, including 8/11 from deep. Gonzaga led by 5 in the half, but then Curry went off, scoring 30 in the second period. The biggest of his 8 threes was the one that tied it with 1:04 left, which gave the Wildcats the lead for g

From : Twenty Four Hours a Day, Jan. 23: "Alcoholics... are always making the same mistakes and suffering the same consequence over and over again...".Well, it's not only alcoholics who do this. In fact, in program, we often hear the slogan: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.How many of us are caught in this vicious trap, or cycle -of repeating our same mistakes over and over, but thinking that this time something different will happen?I know that I was stuck in that rut for a very long time. Over and over, I would react the very same way to the very same triggers, but had convinced myself that "next time" would be different. The truth is, (and here goes another program slogan) - If nothing changes, then nothing changes.That goes well wit

The internet is dead today. At first, I figured everyone was drunk from the holidays or something but then I realized there’s not really anything going on in the world. There’s a video of a one second flash of Rihanna’s ass somewhere from a few years ago. There’s pictures of Mike Huckabee hunting a few days ago because there’s bozos in the world that’ll vote someone for president purely on the fact that they hunt. That’s pretty much it. People are still talking about Pamela Anderson’s divorce from Rick Salomon that lasted a whole eight seconds. So I’m forced to talk about Britney Spears. I’m sorry. But she’s apparently bonking the paparazzi now, literally. The other night was full of erratic behavior featuring Spears, getting in the cars of the paparazzi to change clothes, driving around without rhyme or reason, going house shopping at 8PM and yelled at the realitor from her car that she didn’t like the ho

The media spotlight might have shone most intensely on Jena, LA, but a symbol of racial violence has been hung across America lately. There have been more incidents of hanging nooses and some are directly aimed at certain groups of people. It is hard to ignore where this country is headed, the current rise in noose sightings reveal an ugly truth about race relations in the United States.
The latest noose sightings:
PASADENA, TX: Earlier this week, a noose was found hanging over at the Pasadena Plastics Complex, a facility owned by Chevron Phillips Chemical located in Pasadena, TX. The noose was tied to a piping system. Plant officials said an internal investigation is under way and the police and FBI were notified.
Coincidentally, this took place in the same city where another racial incident took place. Last month, Joe Horn shot Miguel Antonio Dejesus and Diego Ortiz in the back with a shotgun because they were burglarizing his neighbor’s home.

Like the mad hatter once said "The Whole Worlds Gone Crazy!" Our modern day lives have us rushing here there and everywhere with out a moment to ourselves. One must wonder if insanity has infact infected us all?On the outside we seem to be a happy bunch. Busy with our jobs, families, and overall lives. Most times to busy but we consider that the norm in modern society. But then just as we thought life couldn't get any more demanding along came new technologies that would keep us attached to the office like an invisible leash.Not so many years ago life was different. You'd put in a hard day at work come home tired but fulfilled that you'd done your best. You'd spend the evening with your family or friends either busy with activities or just relaxing. Soon the office was a distant memory that wouldn't reappear until morning when you once again headed off to work.Then came along pagers. Employers suddenly had their staff wondering around with a pager on their hip incase they
By: kristine Some say that the more you are exposed to something, the more likely you are to pick it up. The same has been anecdotally proven to be true for mental health conditions and outright insanity. The longer you are thrust into an environment where mental health is compromised, the higher the chances are that you'll end up emulating their behavior. Some hardcore psychologists can sometimes deliberately attempt to appear insane just to get an inside look at how things are on the "other side," but those people have questionable mental health anyway. It is interesting that there are very few studies being conducted to see whether or not prolonged exposure to insanity can lead a perfectly sane person to go down that same road.There is a piece of old advice that says playing along with the delusions of the insane is more effective than fighting it when it comes to preserving one's mental health. The trick, supposedly, is being able to keep their perception of reality from beco

For those who are unaware, I live in a small town called Morgan Hill, CA. We’re what Realtors call a “bedroom community nestled between San Jose’s Silicon Valley and Gilroy’s Agricultural Marvel”. With a population of about 33,500 (1/3 of that being minors) it’s a pretty mellow place to live. With the 10th largest city in the US a mere 20 miles away, it’s also far from a complete hick town or real country living. So I knew it was only a matte rof time before I noticed a front page article like the one in today’s Morgan Hill Times-

Today was my big interview at the temp agency. What a strange experience. I just to be clear, I did dress like I was going to an interview. Confused by this statement? Then read this blog entry first. Apparently, they don't tell everyone about the dress code or not everyone understands what this means. It is really hard to tell. But I am pretty sure that most likely wearing faded and ripped jeans is not the best way to make a good first impression no matter where you go. An impression? Yes. Good? Not so much. My case worker (I don't think that is really her job title, but that's what I will call her) claims she will find me a permanent position really soon. I'm not sure how thrilled I am about what she thinks she is going to find because she really didn't understand what it was I did at my last job. How can you sell someone's skill set when you don't get it yourself? I also question her judgment because she suggested I remove pertinent information from my resume an
It's been an odd day.Last night I stayed up quite late watching a movie, and I had no business doing that. In spite of it, I woke this morning literally one minute prior to my alarm going off. Within moments it was clear that I was very sick to my stomach. It wasn't the normal anxiety, though; it was a feeling I remember quite well from my youth. This is disgusting, but when I was a little kid my sinuses were so bad that they'd drain into my stomach and I'd throw up all the time during allergy season. I've outgrown the worst of it and that hasn't happened to me for a very long time. In fact, I've made no secret that I'm emetophobic. Being "physically ill" as I call it is very rare these days, thank God.So I thought I'd go ahead and go about my business, reasoning that the condition would improve as I got moving. I was wrong. About an hour and half later I was rushing back here. I got to my place and immediately threw up once, and then felt better. But that feeling o
Another trip and I, yet again, am cleaning at 12:00 a.m. There is no end in sight.

This particular obsession is not one of Eric’s favorite Laura-isms. In fact, he does not find it the least bit endearing, and completely annoying. Nonetheless, I cannot stop thinking, “What if there was a fire in the neighborhood and they had to come in and rescue the animals? We would not want them to think we are slobs, would we?” The fact that we have a pet sitter coming in to tend to the animals this time makes my desire to have everything in its place is magnified.

A sign of bad things to comeNY Property Grunt - 9/19/07 Full Article:As everyone knows, newspaper advertising has taken a big hit in the last couple of years. However one thing that newspapers have always counted on is real estate advertising. And now it appears that has taken a dive in the New York City area. According to some intelligence from a source in ad sales, real estate ad sales have taken a significant drop. It was August when I first heard from this source and figured that there would be bit of a downturn since the real estate season doesn't start until after Labor Day so brokers aren't rushing out to buy ads. But when I checked in with my source this month, it was pretty much more of the same. The irony though is that it appears that ads for foreclosures have gone up. So in the end it evens out. So if you got to sell, sell. Unload your s**t now while people are fooled by the euphoria of the market because of a rate cut.Even in New York, Affordable Apartmentsby NYT - 9/28/
Here I am trying to sell my condo and getting nowhere. Maybe there is something to learn from these guys. I’ve compiled a list of outrageous but creative ways to make money which gave me an idea of my own.
Lunar Embassy
I was watching a program about the moon and lunar exploration. Anyway, they featured a story about a guy names Dennis Hope and his ‘Lunar Embassy’. This guy sells land on the moon! As if that weren’t enough, people buy it. More than 300,000 people to be exact! Hope has made over $9 million selling paper that means NOTHING. Each lot costs about $30 and a long list of celebrities have reportedly purchased land which has increased in price! If this guy can sell a piece of the moon, I will sell shares of my condo! How about it? $35/share! Any buyers?

OK, maybe it’s both. According to Gadling, the “sport” of glacial surfing is simple: “Head to a glacier, wait for the edge to fall off, and, when it does, ride the tidal wave on a surfboard as the ice chases you down.”
Right. Sounds like a cake walk.
The guy comes out like he just stepped out of the shower. I felt my netherbits tightening up just watching him.
Although some choose to pass off Jamiroquai as a Stevie Wonder-clone, the band has amassed a steady stream of hits in its native U.K. and has experienced chart success in just about every other area of the world with an irresistible blend of house rhythms and '70s-era soul/funk. The band has gone though several lineup changes during their career, but through it all their leader has remained singer/songwriter Jason Kay (aka J.K.). Born on December 30, 1969, in Stretford, Manchester, Kay's mother, Karen, was a jazz singer who regularly performed at nightclubs, and in the '70s had her own TV show. After leaving home at the age of 15, Kay found himself homeless and in trouble with the law (by committing petty crimes to get by). After a near-death experience (where he was attacked and stabbed) and being arrested for a crime he did not commit, Kay decided to return home, where he chose to pursue a legitimate career over crime: music. Kay didn't have a band to back up his compositions, bu

So, some of you read this post a while back about my dash refusing to read my memory cards. That got me so pissed off, I wanted to go back to the good old beeper days... What you probably didn't know was that same day I was speaking to someone and got pretty agitated and when I get agitated I talk with my hands. Long story short My poor little AT&T Dash went flying out of my hand like a Frisbee. It had a few scratches here and there but, it was working and I didn't think anything of it.I also didn't want to associate that with the memory card not working. But today I was even more worked up then normal and my phone again went flying out of my hand causing my partner to duck as it slammed into the wall behind him.I laughed... He didn't. He said "You could have taken my damn head off! Take it down a notch man!" I looked at it and said "I bet you my memory card works again..." He said "I bet that whole damned thing is all foxed up." Guess who was right??If you guess that you wouldn'
Mr. Woodward writes: "For the rest of the list, Vehige and I part ways. He is a trained student of theology and understandably thinks that every Catholic should read some theology. I'm not so sure." He makes it sound that I expect every Catholic to be rigorously trained as a theologian, and that somehow his own list is more accessible to the general reader. Let's examine this insinuation.First, let's take a look at Woodward's list.1. This Tremendous Lover**2. The Lord**3. The Confessions**4. The Way of Perfection5. Abandonment to Divine Providence6. Journal of a Soul7. The Waters of Siloe8. Theology and Sanity9. Kristen Lavransdatter10. Love and ResponsibilityOf these ten books, the first three -- the one with the double asterisks -- I also recommended. So, excluding those three, here's my list of the last seven books. Yes, I know I recommended authors, not books, but let's limit it to seven books.4. Chesterton, Saint Thomas Aquinas5. Greene, Brighton Rock6. Pieper, Leisure,
All self concern is a symptom of the disease of “not being” which disappears as soon as you realize who you are - this “you” of you - which is your natural state. Giving it a grand title like “enlightenment” only shows how insane we are. It is your natural state.

Author: John F. Schumaker Paperback: 240 pagesPublisher: Praeger PublishersLanguage: EnglishISBN: 0275970523(R)The often misunderstood "modern person syndrome" is a disorder linked to the conditions of living in our contemporary society. The author argues that the conditions of modernity have introduced new processes, forces, and cultural motivations that have major implications for all aspects of mental health and social well being. While modernity offers unprecedented opportunities for personal enhancement and creative expression, there is mounting evidence of a mental health crisis that demands the immediate attention of mental health professionals. In order to address the new challenges that have arisen under conditions of modernity, mental health professionals must rethink fundamental assumptions about the relationship between society and mental health, as well as the impact of modern social concerns upon individual behavior and psychological well being. This innovative approa
Well our summer is almost over. 3 weeks until school starts and all the relatives have packed up and went back home. *whew* Now things are back to normal. By normal I mean that I'm back to finding myself saying and doing things I never thought I would until I had kids. There are many things you never think will come out of your mouth-ever-in your adult life. Then you have kids and you find yourself saying things like: "Put down that booger. Do not eat it. No! Put the booger down now!" or "Stop rubbing your butt on my head because it stinks and you don't have underwear on. You sicko." and most recently, "The garbage can is not a toilet. You do not tell your sister to take a poop in the garbage can. Does the garbage can look like a toilet to you?"These are all things I've said since having my kids and each time I'm a little bit more amazed by what comes out of my mouth. Hope everyone is having a great, busy summer. I know we are!
I was raised with the itsy bitsy spider as a role model for perseverance. The plucky little spider may get washed away by a rain storm, but she will not be discouraged. While reciting this popular nursery rhyme with my daughter, however, my son gave me new insight into the true mental state of Itsy Bitsy.Son: That's dumb.Me: What's dumb?Son: The spider. Doesn't it know it will get washed out again in the next rain?My education taught me that doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results was perseverance. Others have said it is the definition of insanity.Perhaps the spider should have learned from her experience and not be held up for her "perserverance?"And maybe our school system should stop trying to do the same things harder in order to get different results. Of course that could be said about a lot of things. Who else is spinning webs in drain spouts, expecting anything other than getting washed away in the next rain?
After appearing on the German site Nokiaport.de, it looks as though Nokia are thinking that this triangular key shaped mobile will be the next fashion Prada or Gucci.
Hardly! After observing it aesthetics I am safely going to say that that this is definitely not my cup of tea. It’s just a normal Nokia phone with a bog standard camera and 1GB of internal memory, sporting purple highlighted triangular keys…what’s can be uber-cool about that? Nokia…Nokia…Nokia…what were you thinking! Anyway don’t let me put you off; I’ll let you decide for yourselves.

Recently I came across an article, Beware the Bloggers’ Bile, in TIME Magazine by Joe Klein recently in which he wrote about the insanity that has taken over the Liberal/Progressive blogosphere. This of course is going well with Republican bloggers. In Klein’s piece, he expresses his concern of the recent criticism he is receiving from liberal bloggers recently:
A strange thing happened to me the day the House of Representatives voted to pass the Iraq-war-funding bill. Congresswoman Jane Harman of California called as the debate was taking place. “Look, I would love to have cast a vote against Bush on this,” she told me. “We need a new strategy, and I hope we can force one in September. But I flew into Baghdad [with 150 young soldiers recently]. To vote against this bill was to vote against giving them the equipment… they need. I couldn’t do that.” I posted what Harman said on Swampland, the political blog at Time.com, along with my opi
So never got the guts to post our comments. So i guess this was in fact breaking the concept of healthy blogging.
And when you see thing’s happening there, then do write an apology here.
You know you make so many people laugh. You searched World Net Labs. I am not answerable to Google. Did you searched [...]
My house is now officially nicknamed Hogwarts in a Box — the boxes are EVERY WHERE. (For those new here - I have been planning a HUGE birthday party for my daughter’s 11th birthday on May 27th - the theme Harry Potter, it has been in the works for over a year now - even rented a hall).
Just when I think I have a lot done, I look at my list and it has grown again with more to dos. I always forget just how much has to be done at the last minute so it’s always crazy the week before a big event no matter how well planned or previous prep is done. Luckily I only do something this huge once ever decade (this is my third HUGE event - first was my wedding, second was a 12 course medival dinner for friends as a Yule gift).
This morning (4 a.m.) I made 5 lbs of fudge (with treacle (golden syrup) added) and 36 dragon medallions (made from the candy wafers in various colors using a dragon lollipop mold, without the stick) - these will be given to everyone for participati
While I agree that the teacher and school in question here should have gotten parental approval before screening the movie version of Brokeback Mountain in an 8th grade classroom, I find the reaction of these grandparents to be totally absurd. Tell me if I'm wrong here, but I cannot imagine that a 12-year-old child would require psychological treatment after watching this particular over-praised and over-rewarded movie. I don't want to offend anyone by saying this but the movie reminds me of chick-lit without the chicks.The lawsuit claims that Jessica Turner, 12, suffered psychological distress after viewing the movie in her 8th grade class at Ashburn Community Elementary School last year.The film, which won three Oscars, depicts two cowboys who conceal their homosexual affair.Turner and her grandparents, Kenneth and LaVerne Richardson, are seeking around $500,000 in damages."It is very important to me that my children not be exposed to this," said Kenneth Richardson, Turner's gua
15 Ways to Maintain A Healthy Level of Insanity
1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Put you garbage can on your desk and label in “Inbox”.
3. Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, “Sorry, I really prefer it this way”.
4. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

A recent report indicates that long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), used to stop stomach acid from refluxing into the esophagus, may be safe and effective in children. PPIs include drugs such as Prilosec (omeprazole) and Prevacid (lansoprazole).The study examined 166 pediatric patients with reflux disease who used PPIs for up to 11 years. Most patients used omeprazole, but a few used lansoprazole. Doses ranged from 4 mg to 90 mg each day.PPIs can cause increased rate of some infections, B12 deficiency, and iron and calcium malabsorption.
