ramblings...
The Shiite Ashura day came and went yesterday, once again showcasing the world’s, er, "diversity." Some Muslims believe they’re not holy unless (in tribute to the suffering of some 7th-century saint named Hussein) they slash themselves all to hell, blood streaming, etc., and start indoctrinating their urchins at age 6 or younger to cut themselves up, too. Said one Lebanese objector, "When the rest of the world is going to the moon, look where these people are—still drawing blood from their heads."
Also...
What if we created the ultimate toilet and you would never have to [leave]?" That was a Roto Rooter guy, thinking up a contest. So they pimped up a toilet to offer as grand prize: 20-inch flat screen TV, TiVo, iPod with toilet paper in docking station; bike-pedal exerciser, laptop computer, Xbox 360, DVD player, refrigerator with beer tap, cup warmer/cooler, fan, and a couple of more things.

Madam Palosi's daughter...
has been a busy girl....
Alexandra Pelosi’s Gotcha Documentary: On Thursday night, HBO debuts the Speaker’s daughter’s "Friends of God" video, including a pre-disgrace episode with pastor Ted Haggard joking with two other evangelicals about how often their wives "climax." Also on the show: drive-through services, Christian pro wrestling, biblical mini-golf, and a conversation with an ex-career woman who decided she’d rather stay home, give birth 10 times, and dress like "Little House on the Prairie."

News That’s Just Too Sweet:
News That’s Just Too Sweet: Fox has bought the Survivor creator’s latest reality show, which pits parents against each other to answer questions from elementary school textbooks ("Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader?"). What a great job to have (selecting the most charismatic wannabes who already know they're going to be intellectual schlumps, just to be on teevee)!
Furthermore, in that vein: 22 ordinary middle-class people, i.e., of average ignorance, fell completely for a Louisiana woman’s far-fetched scam, which netted her almost $1m. She told them she was a CIA agent and therefore had access to a satellite imaging system that could scan their bodies for disease and that there was no muss or fuss to it because CIA agents would do all the administering of the scans by coming into their homes while they were asleep. "Solid, middle-class, educated citizens" was how a prosecutor described these victims.
yeah ummmm can I sign you up?

OhMiBod
Here’s an advance in teledildonics (i.e., where you and a sex partner [yeah, first you have to find a partner], insert respective devices connected by USB cable and high-speed Internet, and synchronize your movements) [from BoingBoing.net]. Another advance from last week’s Las Vegas adult electronics expo: vibrators that run from your iPod (the OhMiBod), even though, said a buyer for the Good Vibrations emporium, "Not everyone is going to want a dual-motor, harmonizing, 15-speed vibrator." Says Who!
Holy Hell I would never leave the house!

interesting (to me at least)
Proof once again that the only really clever criminals are the smugglers, as a schoolteacher tried to sneak her prisoner-husband 2½ grams of heroin and a scalpel, inside her tampon . . . .
There was a family feud in Sydney, Australia, over something or other that wasn’t disclosed, but 60 people were involved, and 19 have been arrested so far, and though one of the participants had a gun, the others had "knives, baseball bats, metal poles, planks, branches, cricket bats, pick handles, screw drivers, golf clubs, curtain rods, and glass bottles," according to the Daily Telegraph, and also hammers and machetes.

Wild Ride
Today is my birthday... yes I turned 34. I had the day off and wanted adventure.
To reward myself I decided to do my favorite thing Ride my ATV! I found a trail that travels up a ridge to the north running along an old fence line and then when you get along way up the trail it make a left turn around a sink hole and travels west down a narrow ridge. It is a beautiful trail, and then I came to the edge of the world, but being educated but not to smart I knew the world wasn't flat so I put my bike in 4-wheel, put it in low gear and gripped both hand breaks and started moving down the trail slowly and after I had gone passed the point of no return I had big deep ruts and a log laying in the trail. I stopped to study my situation and I concluded it wasn't good. I looked up and seen where others had made a trail along the ridge just above the one I was on, so I thought if I could maybe climb the side of the bank and get to the upper trail I could live through this ordeal. So I started turning slowly and it didn't take but a few feet to make things worse. Now I had one wheel going up, one going into a deep rut and one rear wheel high in the air. I figured out any more of this and me and the bike were going down this hill like a snow ball except there wasn't any snow and it was going to hurt. With everything balanced on disaster I desided I had to get off the bike if I was going to get out of this so I started easing myself off until I had one foot on the ground and then the other. Now I'm standing on the down hill side holding the bike from rolling over and by moving very slowly I gave it gas and eased it up the bank to the better trail. Now that I survived I will live to do something dumb another day.
Some of the tougher trails can be survived with about 90% good luck and 10% dumb luck. I know we only live once, but I'd like to make it a lot longer. It's not often you have your whole life flash before your eyes I only wish I could stop it and change somethings. But, riding the trails I'm sure I'll get a chance to see it again. Fun is what you make it, fear just shows up. It kinda put things in perspective. I will ride again :)

My Wish
My Wish for You in 2007
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $200 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words ............
May 2007 be the best year of your life!!!
