Here I sit with arrows near--

Wasted all fricking day without seeing a deer.

A Job's Quote

"Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

When is yogurt really too old?

It said sell by April 20th. I'm assuming for this excercise that it was at least 2011.

Smelled and looked ok, so I ate it. I mean, it's already cultures, right? How bad can it get?

New Motto - Tempus Edax Rerum

Or "Time, Devourer Of All Things"

I'm in my thirties trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. All I have to do is say, "tempus edax rerum" to myself and I realize it doesn't really matter -- as long as it involves devouring of aged bourbon.

I'm taking it with a "this too shall pass" twist....

Waiting for Godot.

Vladimir: Tied?
Estragon: Ti-ed.
Vladimir: How do you mean tied?
Estragon: Down.
Vladimir: But to whom? By whom?
Estragon: To your man.
Vladimir: To Godot? Tied to Godot! What an idea! No question of it. (Pause.) For the moment.
Estragon: His name is Godot?
Vladimir: I think so.
Estragon: Fancy that. (He raises what remains of the carrot by the stub of a leaf, twirls it before his eyes.) Funny, the more you eat the worse it gets.
Vladimir: With me it's just the opposite.
Estragon: In other words?
Vladimir: I get used to the muck as I go along.
Estragon: (after prolonged reflection). Is that the opposite?
Vladimir: Question of temperament.
Estragon: Of character.
Vladimir: Nothing you can do about it.
Estragon: No use struggling.
Vladimir: The essential doesn't change.
Estragon: Nothing to be done. (He proffers the remains of the carrot to Vladimir.) Like to finish it?

Must be tough being a CA taxpayer....

Reading about the MJ memorial:

"...authorities had projected a crowd of 250,000 or more. Besides reporters and those with tickets to the memorial service, the crowd around the Staples Center perimeter numbered only about 1,000...Police had based their projection of 250,000 people on turnouts for the funerals of Princess Diana and Elvis Presley, along with the recent Los Angeles Lakers NBA championship parade...Police helicopters flew overhead, and officers patrolled on foot and bicycle."

I can't say I really think the guy was all that....apparently about 249,000 potential turnouts thought the same thing.

But the big question, how much is all this costing the taxpayers? I'm thinking there are officers looking forward to some nice OT right now.

The SPAM Continues

The spam filter in gmail seems to be doing a pretty good job. We're now over 7000 , with about 5 or so making it through the filter each day. I had to time the screenshot just so, as I post it's already at 7005.

Hilarious....This is a wonderful new world, isn't it?

Edit 7/7: The final count got to almost 9000, before the spam box was emptied. In all truthfulness though, apparently Google deletes everything older than a month once a month. So at its peak there was 2 months of SPAM. And things must be slowing down, I'm only at 4300 right now.
