Two Left Feet

I must have done something really awful in a past life. The great karmic hand in the sky reached down and smote me again. Luckily, I didn’t break anything. I sprained my thumb and elbow. I got a few abrasions and contusions (medical talk for scrapes and bruises).

Hang a faceted crystal in the center of the bathroom; place a three-inch round mirror on the ceiling directly above the toilet to visually reverse the downward flow of water; place earth-type objects in the corners of the room to stabilize the energy.
Quotation from Stephanie Roberts, The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Feng Shui
(Feng shui toilet tips)

Women have this higher alternative value of how to spend their time.
Quotation from Grace Tsiang, as quoted in Women Desert Wall Street (Reuters)
I love this quote.

Send in the Clowns

I need cheering up. Does anyone have something uplifting or funny to say? Maybe a little joke?

What do you give a sick bird?

Who recognises the church in the photo? It’s located in the Northern California town of Bodega, and it was shown in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds.

Workplace Rumors

Workplace Rumors

Eleanor Roosevelt said “Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.” But wow, if things end badly, does that mean I’m a failure?

It turns out that rumors — or, more precisely, those rumors that continue to be passed along office grapevines — tend to be substantially true.
Quotation from Joel Lovell, Workplace Rumors Are True (The New York Times)

But for most Ugandans, word of doomsday cults brings bitter memories of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments, which burnt hundreds of members alive in a church in Kanungu, near the Congolese border, in March 2000. Police believe leaders systematically killed hundreds more followers after their judgment day forecast failed to happen, and corpses were found in mass graves across the country.

Don’t apologize to me, Tiger

Don’t apologize to me, Tiger

O.k. I get it. You’re sorry. But I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.

I convinced myself that normal rules didn’t apply… I thought that I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
Quotation from Tiger Woods, Professional Golfer

If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere.
Quotation from Marilyn Monroe

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
Quotation from Katharine Hepburn

Hungry for Love

Hungry for Love

I think we all hunger for love even when we have it, for without it, we are a shell of what we could be.

I compare myself with my former self, not with others. Not only that, I tend to compare my current self with the best I have been… When I am my present “normal” self, I am far removed from when I have been my liveliest, most productive, most intense, most outgoing and effervescent. In short, for myself, I am a hard act to follow.

Karmic Benevolence

Karmic Benevolence

What goes around comes around. But be careful, because you don’t want to be caught looking the wrong way when it happens.

If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can’t it get us out?
Quotation from Will Rogers

In anticipating the unexpected, there are at least four political events in the Middle East that could make Obama’s hair turn prematurely white, quite apart from a terrorist attack. These include:
1. The collapse of the Palestinian Authority.
2. A Hizballah takeover of Lebanon, either through next year’s parliamentary elections or via extra-legal means.
3. A succession crisis in Egypt, a vitally important country with an octogenarian president and no open, transparent, and accountable system for the transfer of political power.
4. News of unexpected nuclear “success” by Iran.
Quotation from In Transition: The Obama Administration (The Washington Institute for Near East Policy)

It is against the law in San Francisco to wipe one’s car with used underwear, or to walk down any street if you are “ugly”.
Taken from Dumb Laws in California (DumbLaws.com)

Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider!
Quotation from George Carlin

An Absolutely Perfect Show/Not!

An Absolutely Perfect Show/Not!

When something bad happens, I wonder if it’s punishment
for a sin committed, or perhaps payback for negative karma.
I went through a phase where my friends and I mooned people
at concerts or late at night as they left the theater.

30th Anniversary of Mooning Amtrak Trains in 2009 (MoonAmtrak.org)
New Moons (Click on the pictures to enlarge) (MooningYou.com)

Moon!
Moon!
I am prone before you.
Pity me,
And drench me in loneliness.
Poem by Amy Lowell, On a Certain Critic
