Ethical Philosophy Selector – Whose philosophies are you most like (Assuming you have ethics to begin with). I was most surprised to see me seeing eye to eye with Fred Nietzche. Militant Atheists and those annoying FreeThinkers worship him. But I really got to admit he’s got a point with “There are no facts. Only Interpretation.”

Some fun quizzes for you
I recently took two quizzes as a criteria to get into a VERY exclusive discussion group. I’m glad because I believe the first step to empowerment is knowing yourself. (Second quiz in tomorrow’s post)
Take the Temperament Sorter

Keep it Brief, stoopid!
In the world of web design and advertising, there is the rule of “KISS” (“Keep It Simple, Stupid!”).
This basically means that your HTML masterpiece isn’t worth a crap if your readers don’t bother to wait for it to load, or your magazine spread loses its message when you clutter it to show off your Photoshop and Quark prowess.
I got the following comment from a Comment Spammer, which I found invaluable.
“When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men?s minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind. “
It’s so true.
Why do you think the simplicity of the Bush campaign beat out the long-winded Kerry?
Why does Instapundit is so popular over so many other blogs?
Why do major companies pay a fortune for a 30-second commercial when they can make a half hour infomercial on late night tv?
Not every one is an intellectual with a long attention span. In fact I’d say very few are.
If you want to reach out to the masses…. Keep It Brief, Stupid!
Good Friday
Traditionally, I go out and order a raw bloody steak on Good Friday.
I enjoy the horrified looks of everyone around me. 🙂

So, men have taste after all
MSN – News – FHM Names Jolie Sexiest Woman
Ohhhh, those lips! Do you know what a woman can do with lips like Angelina Jolie’s if properly trained???

If your job sucks, and you know it… clap your hands.
Nope. Not me. I couldn’t be happier!
Up to date equipment, relaxed artistic environment, cool co-workers, and a state-of-the-art recording studio being built in the room next to me as I write this.
However, for the less-fortunate, I offer from MSN Careers:
Six Signs That You Should Run – Not Walk – from Your New Job
1. You ask your new boss for supplies and she hands you a No. 2 pencil and legal pad — and nothing else.
2. You were shown to a cubicle your first day of work, given a company manual and haven’t been spoken to since.
3. Every time you tell someone about your new job with the company they raise their eyebrows and say “Really? Wow… good luck with that.”
4. After two weeks on the job, you are already halfway to becoming the employee with the most seniority.
5. You answer the phone while the company’s secretary is away from her desk and find that the voice at the other end is a collection agency calling for the third time that week.
6. You notice that every day for the last five days, at least one person has run crying from your boss’s office.
Now, I realize I’ve promised a short while back to be a kinder, less vicious person, who doesn’t trash past acquaintances and places of employment…
But well, um, I have a “friend” who recently used to work for a job that had many of these signs (1,3,5 and an less-exaggerated 6). And I can’t help but feel bad for the person (who’s getting #2 in abundance) that replaced me… uhm, I mean my friend.
While it’s understandable why people have a duty to their family to hold jobs down that make them completely miserable… I’ll never understand why they’re not at least looking for a new one.
Remember my theme from last year:
“You can’t be King of the world if you’re Slave to the Grind”.
What jobs have YOU had that fit this criteria, and when did you run screaming from it?
One Nation Under Christ
Today’s Sunday morning sermon is dedicated to to blowing apart the biggest lie and misconception we have going on in the U.S.A. today: America being a Christian Nation
The mouth runneth over again with Jerry Fallwell:
BZZZZT! Wrong again Jerry! Nice attempt at re-writing history, though.
My impression is that Jefferson allocated federal money to help the Kaskaskia Indians in all sorts of endeavors, but Mr. Moral Majority is just focusing on the “building a church” part.
Thomas Jefferson on Christianity:
FACT: Our Founding Fathers were mostly Deists, not Christians.
Theres a big difference.

Begorrrah!

Happy St. Paddy’s day, Laddies and Lassies! (Not that I think you ladies are actually “collies” per se… but well, you know.)
If you’re looking for FREE St. Patrick’s Day E-Cards, you’ve come to the right place.
(My British grandmum must be spinning in her grave right now. I just know it.)
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
Vatican assault on DaVinci Code
Theologian calls novel insulting ‘sack full of lies’
Nothing spells “desperation and distraction” more than a Vatican assault on a book that’s already been out for two years.
“REAL history??!!??!?” Does he really wanna go there? The Cathars also believed that Jesus and Mary Magdelene had a thing going on and they were exterminated by the Catholic Church for it in the Middle Ages.
Current history (or should I say scandals) don’t make them look too good either, when you think about it.

Caring for your pet Chupacabra
I’m bored with cats and dogs and black bears as pets.
So guess what? I bought a Chupacabra on Ebay tonight!!!!
There’s a guy who breeds them in Puerto Rico and ships them. Ever since I saw one on the Venture Brothers, I wanted one… arent they cute?
Now you may ask, where do they originally come from since they’ve only terrorized South America since 1995?
Where all unexplained phenomenon come from, silly…. UFO’s!!!!
This little tyke in the picture isn’t fully grown. He’s only about a foot and a half. They grow to about 3 feet. They need a constant blood, so I figure I’ll let him have the dog & cats to play with (not Puddy though), and when the weather gets warm, he can chase and suck out the innards of deer in the back yard.
And if the kids don’t like him, I’ll just flush him down the toilet like I did the alligator I got them for Christmas.
Meanwhile he needs a name. Any suggestions?
