Don’t Be Too Serious

For those of you who take life too seriously, here’s a few things to ponder.

1. If your DNA was off by one percent, you’d be a dolphin.
2. A day without sunshine is like…night.
3. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
4. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
5. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
6. Remember: Half the people you know are below average.
7. He who laughs last thinks slowest.
8. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
9. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
10. Support bacteria. They’re the

Top Ten Things To Say When Caught Sleeping at Your Desk

10.) “They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen.”
9.) “This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent me to.”
8.) “Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time.”
7.) “I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the Mission Statement and envisioning a new business strategy.”
6.) “It’s true what they say about all that harmful radiation that these monitors put out. My eyes started stinging and I got real dizzy.”
5.) “I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are

The Me-Tude

I saw this the other day and couldn’t help but think that this cartoon represents the quintessential problem with world today, particularly with Americans. No one is listening to each other. I really want to say that hard-core rightwingers are the worst perpetrators, but really it’s the hard-core anyones — rightwingers just happen to be the most visible right at the moment in the U.S.

Work Your Brain — 09/09/06

A Little Fun First

• Thursday Thirteen #2 — ribbiticus @ Pond Perspective offers some gems of advice. Here are my favorites:
  

  5. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

  10. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

  11. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

  12. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

  13. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

Thursday Thirteen I Wanna Be When I Growd Up

So…I saw this over at Danielle’s initially and I’m not entirely sure I “get” it (because I’m old and easily confused), but I’m going to try it out anyway…and I’m stealing her topic too.

Thirteen Things I Wanna Be When I Growd Up

1. Drummer in a band - I so wanted to be Melody from Josie and the Pussycats.
2. Book Store Owner - what better way to pass your time than having free access to every book you ever wanted to read?
3. Journalist - This is what I really wanted to be but my parents pressured me into

Feeling Old Yet?

Beloit College has released its latest “Mindset List,” to help academics understand what freshmen know — and what they don’t have a clue about. This list has been prepared each August since 1998 and past lists are available online. [“What Your Freshmen Don’t Know” (Inside Higher Ed)]

Here is this year’s list, for the Class of 2010. I’ve bolded the ones that really made me feel old. Which ones make you feel old?

1. The Soviet Union has never existed and therefore is about as scary as the student union.
2. They have known only two presidents.
3. For most of their

Permanent Liberal Condemnation Checklist

I must say when I happened about this post at Punkassblog.com, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.  It’s so true and so inspiring.

Clearly, the left blogosphere has been annointed the moral police of the world. In case you hadn’t noticed, everyone on the Right gets incensed whenever we fail to erupt in outrage over whatever’s got their momentary goat. This can only mean one thing: they need our moral validation.

It’s mighty big of wingnuttery to just hand over the needle of the moral compass to us Western-facing souls, and we ought to handle our job with care.

Take Your Dog To The Movies

This Thursday, July 20th, My Wonderful Dog, an organization that trains service dogs for people with disabilities, will host Maine’s Dog Fest, a nationwide film festival for dogs and their people — dogless people are welcome too. I’m told by the My Wonderful Dog representative I met during puppy play group at Planet Dog over the weekend that it’ll be kind of like a night at the drive-in with your doggies. (If it rains, the date will be moved to July 27th.)
