This just made me smile:

"Sometimes I'm accused of my TV shows not being educational. Well, this episode teaches the very important lesson: If a man holding a roll of duct tape asks to speak with you "somewhere privately," just say no." - Dan Schneider of iCarly

I saw this on a family member's Facebook status today. It has me thinking of two individuals especially:

I Thought Of You Today
I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

I came across this quote on 11/20 (or rather, it was sent to me). Its numbers are more than I would think, but I still like the message:

"We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth." - Virginia Satir

Also, here's the quote of a recent day:

"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." - Walt Disney

Since a month or two ago when the company asked us to put up quotes around the office I've been trying to think of a good one that represents both the goals of the company's new employee program and something personal to me. This is the one I've been trying to come up with. It's rung true to me since the first/second time I read it (however long ago that was):

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

I have to say this is now one of my favorite not-actually-sacriligious interpretations of the Bible. From cracked.com:

#2. Jesus, Like a Non-Useless Aquaman

Jesus. Maybe you've heard of him. But of all the healing and feeding and returning from the dead he did, this has got to be the most awesome superpower he had, from Mark 4:35-41:



So they're out in the middle of a hurricane, tossed around like the guys on Deadliest Catch and Jesus, because he was just hardcore like that, didn't mind the drenching rain and the loud thunder and continued sleeping. His disciples woke him up and started griping with stupid complaints like "The boat is halfway under water!" and "We are going to die!"

Jesus told them they were faithless wusses and the disciples shut up. If that wasn't cool enough, he chewed out the storm, and it shut up, too. That has to be our favorite part, how he's just annoyed by the whole thing, as if being bothered to stop an entire weather systems was equivalent to getting woken up by your girlfriend to go kill a spider in the bathroom.

People just don't read the Bible with the right perspective. Obviously.

"Those who are troubled by an apparent conflict between scientific and religious accounts of human origins may find it helpful to recall that different perspectives of life can be complementary. For example, the scientific account attempts to tell us when and how; religious creation stories usually aim to tell about an ultimate who and why. As Galileo explained to the Grand Duchess Christina: 'The Bible teaches how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go.'"

- David G. Myers, "Exploring Psychology, 7th Edition"


"The causes of life's history [cannot] resolve the riddle of life's meaning."

"The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play." - Captain Kirk, 'Shore Leave'

That seems to explain my mind to some extent. Though, also the need for challenge.

"The east coast just received up to 16 inches of global warming." - fark.com

As funny as that is, it is also a true statement! While global warming is that the overall average of the Earth's temperature is rising, it is also that this rise is causing more and more erratic weather. Such as snow in April! (Or October if you're in the Southern Hemisphere.)
