August 17, 2012

One of the best things that happens to me is learning lessons of great value at little cost.

Chaos begins when you try to control everything; it's much better to prepare yourself for the "whoopsies" than to try and avoid them.

I understand why people spin language to make things sound better, but it's going too far when a kid complains to his parents that he doesn't have a "bonus mom" like all his friends.

Almost a week after his DUI arrest following crashing his car and being found naked in a field, media reported that country recording artist Randy Travis left a convenience store without the cigarettes he demanded after the clerk would not sell them to him because the naked Travis had no way to pay for them. So, apparently, a naked Randy Travis in a convenience store was neither newsworthy or illegal. No wonder he got drunk.

A record-breaking, 17 ft., 7 in., 164 pound python carrying 87 embryos was recently captured in the Florida everglades, then studied, euthanized, and dissected. I wish I hadn't seen the pictures, as I may never again be able to watch a party sub be assembled.

Admittedly, I don't regularly eat sushi, but I have a hard time believing anybody gets full eating it.

Extreme ultra Orthodox Jewish men in Israel have the option of purchasing "modesty glasses" that blur the vision for anything past a few meters ahead, for the purpose of not seeing any woman who might be immodestly dressed. Just another step in the crusade to avoid learning self control, I guess.

I totally respect vegetarians and vegans, but I'm still thankful that chickens have wings; even if they can't fly, they do serve a purpose doused in hot sauce and plated alongside carrots, celery sticks, and with blue cheese dipping sauce.

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has plans to construct a town for women only, allowing women to have careers without violating their culture of women being limited to taking care of husbands and children. It's ironic that a nation that truly treats its women as second class citizens is allowing women to prove their worth independent of men.

Pretty is as pretty does... internal ugliness is a waste of skin.
