New Favorite

I saw this quote on the little tv thing in the elevator:

Most rock journalism is people who canít write interviewing people who canít talk for people who canít read.

--Frank Zappa

My 2 cents for the day.

You're Animal Farm!

by George Orwell

You are living proof that power corrupts and whoever leads you will
become just as bad as the past leaders. You're quite conflicted about this emotionally
and waver from hopelessly idealistic to tragically jaded. Ultimately, you know you can't
trust pigs. Your best moments are when you're down on all fours.

It Was A Good Day

Yesterday was my birthday.
It was a pretty eventful day....let's see.

I went to work, left work early, got engaged, went to lunch, had to go to a meeting, then a bible study with Tripp...nice work by the way, went to Kopi.

Oh yeah...did I mention I got engaged? Mae, for some reason, said yes when I popped the question. This is good...very good!

Whew

At least I am not the Ultimate Geek.

You are 34% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.


You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!


Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!


You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Prayers

Hey gang. Could you please keep a couple of people in you prayers. I got an email from my mom today asking for the help. "Sam" is a friend of mine with cerebral palsy. It is because of him the the western states on the map are filled in. Between my freshman and sophmore year of college I assisted him on a trip out west to visit family. He is an amazing guy. He worked with an architect and co-designed his own handicapped accesable duplex. He has a master in library science degree and works at the Illinois State Library. He is a great guy.

"Susan" is a friend of my mom's. I don't know her to well, but she is going through a rough time.

Here is what my mom sent me:

"Remember 'Sam' in your prayers. I understood on Wed. night he had pneumonia, but its worse than that. Judi was telling us at circle yesterday he had gotten choked at home and it severely damaged the flap on his esophagus. To the point that at one time they thought they would have to insert a permanent feeding tube-which depressed him greatly. It seems to be starting to improve, so that may not happen now. Hope not. Poor guy, he's pretty coragious from the get go.

Also, remember 'Susan'. She was in the hospital last week in the Psyc. unit. They were trying to wean her off one of her meds that with shock therapy could cause a stroke. She is to go back in sometime this week and will have to have either 6-8 treatments. She has gotten really bad since Jim's cancer treatment. The Drs. feared suicide. She told me she sometimes just doesn't want to go on. Shes such a nice person to have such a serious problem."

Thanks kids.
