What to Save From a Fire - TIME

How soon the internets forget...

the meaning of being kirked?

Amway/Quixtar... good luck with that.

On a somewhat related note, Mark told me that there are some scuzzy lawyers who are now putting copyright notices on their cease and desist letters to keep people from scanning them and putting on their blogs for the whole world to see that they are scuzzy lawyers.

Ugh. Fail. Once it is sent to you, it is your property. If you don't want it posted, don't send it. Just the same as you should always check the "to:" field in your email program to be sure that you didn't copy the entire address book when you were whining about how you had nothing to do.

NikolaiFarkoff, in a thread about secession convention currently taking place:

I don't think most modern Southerners would oppose the burning of Atlanta at this point.

Yep. I would concur.

Select a Candidate 2008

Uh... der... Ron Paul was my number one choice by a long shot. John Edwards is the candidate at the bottom.

Enjoy! Results may not be entirely accurate for you. For entertainment purposes only... and maybe get you to think or something.

Your Secret Life

and my secret life, too. Doubts, worries, fear of being found out that you aren't who you say your are. Tell me about it. I got a wonderful card from a lady at church who said that I was wise. I laughed and said 'if she only knew.' A few days later, God pressed on me HARD to start studying Proverbs, especially 3:5-6.

OK, that isn't the same as the hidden affairs, bad finances, crumbling marriages but secrets start somewhere.



If heading to church is just too much or too far away, check out the blog. Honesty is a good thing. Bring it out into the open.

My Favorites

You just need to watch because Shalene is everything I want to be in a ballroom dancer. This was their showdance from Ohio Star Ball 2006. It was their official retirement dance (though there was 1 more dance in the competition). And she is in near tears at the end. When I saw the debut at the studio, I was just sobbing. I'm all choked up right now. Talk amongst yourselves. The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, Roman or an Empire. Discuss.

Dear Apple Haters,

The next time you whine about how expensive Apple products are or that they aren't any different that Dell, Treos, Blackberrys, Vista or whatever, please note that Apple is giving the difference in cost of the iPhones back to people who purchased them within 14 days of Wednesday's price drop.

And those of us who bought them earlier - even back to iPhone Day - are getting a $100 Apple store credit.

I certainly didn't expect them to do anything for the early adopters because one has to decide where jump on the bandwagon because there is always something better, faster, smaller, cheaper in the pipeline. It isn't a matter of being punished for being first. My iPhone has done everything I wanted it to do and more. I'm very happy with it and what I paid for it. But yep... that store credit will be put to good use. New iPod? Leopard? AppleTV? So many choices!!! Curse you Steve Jobs for making my decision difficult!

Anyway, I don't think that Palm, Dell, Microsoft, or any of the other big companies (including the game console manufacturers) would do the same thing. If they did, I might have missed it because... well, there is only Apple in PK's world.

Most sincerely,
Pink Kitty

I don't think MacRumors meant for that to happen...

A Zune ad.... on macrumors.com. Hah.

Apparently it has been too long since I went to the movies

for a matinée. Elena and I went to see Harry Potter at Green Hills for the 3:40 show, expecting it was a matinée.

Wrong.

$9.

Let me say that again. $9!!!!!! For the mid-afternoon!

I was planning on making a trip to see 3:10 to Yuma (hello - Christian Bale and Russell Crowe) when it comes out soon but yeah. I'll just wait. I'm not all about paying to see something in the theater that is more than a third of my Netflix membership. There just isn't anything that I'm going to really lose experience wise on my plasma TV and surround sound.

Suck it, movie theaters.

Faith of a Child

Matthew 18: 3-4 (Amplified Bible)

And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].

Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

I had a moment of revelation about this concept a few days ago in a conversation with Elena. Someone on some message board somewhere was saying that we need to just do whatever it is that God says and that's that (my poor paraphrase. I have no idea what it actually says but that is what I interpreted him to say). It is easy and probably even taught that in order to have a child-like faith that we should blindly accept whatever God tells us to do and go do it.

How many of you know children that just blindly accept what you tell them without asking one important question: why? Most of the time it isn't out of disrespect or disobedience. A child is trying to understand the purpose of the action and the motivation behind it. By asking 'why', a child learns right from wrong, the place it has in this world, and how things work. They do it, but knowing why they are doing it can create a greater sense of purpose. Doesn't always mean the work will be done with joy... heh.

Why would or should our relationship with our Heavenly Father be any different? We trust Him to guide, teach, and direct us. Knowing why clarifies His vision for our lives.

Just like our earthly parents, God may not explain why because there are occasions if we know why we are doing something we may hesitate and muck it all up.

What's better than an LOLCat?

Seriously, there just isn't much that is funnier than an LOLcat. At least to me because I'm all the time captioning my own cats as they move around the house. I'm sure they think I'm stupid but so long as they get fed and can wallow all over my clothes, life is good.

So what is better than a LOLcat? LOLgoth!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Even better is LOLNIN.
