Study: Some Children Are Born Bad
Hate to break it to the scientists who probably have studied for years on this very subject, but someone already beat them. They just weren't reading the correct sources...
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. Proverbs 22:15

National Pay a Compliment Day
Heard this morning on 102.5 The Bull, one of Birmingham's Country Stations:
Patty: Today is National Pay a Compliment Day!
Silence. More Silence.
Patty: I like your clavicle.
Bill: Um...you have a very nice Adam's Apple for a girl.
After another brief period of silence, they both burst out at almost the same time:
What were you waiting for? Followed by... I was waiting for you to give me a compliment!
Haha. Patty noted afterwards that compliments have fallen by the wayside to some degree, and encouraged everyone to pay a compliment to someone today.
So, there you have it. Go forth and compliment. It will make you feel happy, and when well spoken and said from the heart, can make the receiver feel marvelously happy as well.

I Knew It!
Most everything Sci-Fi we read and/or watch will eventually be unveiled. Consider Jules Vernes. He was thinking about submarines, missions to the moon, etc. long before they ever came to pass. Some of you may consider Science Fiction material to be outlandish. But, somewhere, somebody is thinking...THAT can be done. And, then they build and work and invent until eventually they achieve what at one time people considered VERY, VERY futuristic.
Well, I am pleased to announce, the future has arrived. (Not that you didn't already know that, I'm sure.) But, just in case you missed it today, the military announced interest in a new weapon! (No, no, not lightsabers...not yet anyways. But, key a drumroll please...)
A RAY GUN!!!!
It is designed to emit a 130 degree beam, which makes the recepient feel as if they are on fire, and yet it is not lethal. It penetrates thick layers of winter clothing, and has a range of more than 500 yards! (For those who like visuals, that's more than 5 football fields!)
I grew up wondering when we would actually have ray guns, transporters, long-distance space ships, and of course, lightsabers. (What can I say, I'm a fan of the lightsaber.) And now, one of those is here.
What can I say...we are in the 21st century. Shouldn't our cars be flying by now, too?

Emily Dickinson Quotes
I love poetry. Absolutly love it. It stirs my soul in a way that I almost don't understand myself. It can make me feel about ten different things at once. This year I want to read and write more poetry...simply because I enjoy it so much.
A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.
Anger as soon as fed is dead - 'Tis starving makes it fat.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.
There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.
~Emily Dickinson

In memory of....
MY EARRINGS!!!!
You experience the world with me
tis very very true
and when my ear is naked
I am very very blue
Please find your way back to me
as soon as you can
my ears are very lonely
and I am very sad.
Death: November 24, 2006. Cause: Eaten by very potent contact solution.
