Oh, you don't want to buy health insurance? We don't live in a country that allows you to make that decision anymore. And you thought it was a gift...

perspective of day

"In the sunshine of the morning, beneath the wide, blue heavens, with a fresh wind astir, what fears, except the most desperate, can find a harbourage? In the night, or the gloomy chambers of the day, fears and misgivings wax strong, but out in the sunlight there is, for a time, cessation even of the terror of death."

-- Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie

A Trailer for Every Academy Award Winning Movie Ever -- powered by Cracked.com

I used to think the Oscars meant something. At one time, they probably did. But when Gwenyth Paltrow won the best actress award for "Shakespeare in Love" over Cate Blanchett for her performance in "Elizabeth," I knew it wasn't about giving the award to the people who really deserved it.

cary grant trivia

They bought me a box of tin soldiers,
I threw all the Generals away,
I smashed up the Sergeants and Majors,
Now I play with my Privates all day.

According to imbd, this was one of Cary Grant's favorite poems. This somehow makes him more human but no less legendary.

Bikram 101: DAY 42: All I Really Need to Know

Plan ahead. Try your best. Some days are better than others. Look at your own two eyes. Drink your water. We all have our strengths. Work really hard and then take a rest. Listen attentively. Surround yourself with amazing people. Pretend you're a camel, an airplane, a cobra & a flower. Some things are gonna' hurt like hell--don't be scared. Commit to yourself. Follow directions. Sometimes you think you can't make it, then realize you just did. Don't compare yourself to others. Be on time or you might miss out. Make everyone feel welcome. Point yourself in the direction you want to go. Quiet your mind. You can't just run out of the room every time you feel like crying. Focus on you. When you fall down, get back up and try again. Small corrections can make big differences. Every millimeter counts. There are many things you cannot control. Concentrate. Others will guide you, but only you can do the work. There's always space to scoot over and make room for one more. Smile when making a triangle. Everybody sweats. And don't forget to breathe.

The illustrations in this guidebook are fantastic. They outline combat styles for two people by utilizing ditches and other techniques. This is going between World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide on my shelf. Which is easily accessible and I head for my shelter for when the attack comes.
