Happy Birthday to yoooooooooou!

These are older pics, (hope you don't mind) before he turned into FABIO leaving the rest of ordinary mankind in the dust. Sigh, Happy Birthday Danny! Just don't forget about us little people!!

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
A million people every day are starving in the street

Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
There's garbage in the water
There's poison in the sky
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits
Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose
Their finger's on the button, all they need it an excuse

It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow! (background screaming, sound effect)

Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed

I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow!

Life goes on.... part deux

Kinda ironic to be reading everyone's happy blogs, love dovey this and that, people getting married and then KAABOOM... my blog explodes with thrashing, spectacular rage. A feeding great white shark comes to mind. Heh. Lucky for mankind I am not a man eater [hater] and find no pleasure in vengeance of any kind. It makes me sad to know I have hurt someone, even if they might have deserved it in a way. I am neither saddistic nor masochistic, but I'm human and yeah one of those "feelings" "emotion driven" types. I swear, I am this way by no choice of mine, blah. Maybe it's hard (even for me) to read my gauge and realise when the pressure has risen above the red till it's too late, however I do have a great abilty to return to the happy-cheerful-peaceful-sugar-n-spice-everything-nice Emma once it's all over and done with.

So part 2 of this 'lovely' tale is really me starting to forget what I was so hyped up about. No, of course I had reason to be mad (RIIIIIIGHT X?!?!?!) I'm not insane here, but it is something that is in the process of being filed into the archives of my mind of the things easily forgotten and forgiven. The process of letting by gones be by gones has begun and now we'll let time settle the hurt and emotions till they fade and become only faint memories, something we'll laugh about one day.

"When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future."

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

White Trash

Susie Lee fell in love.
She planned to marry Joe.
She was so happy 'bout it all,
she told her Pappy so.

Pappy told her, "Susie Gal,
you'll have to find another.
I'd just as soon yo' maw don't know,
but Joe is yo' half-brother."

So Susie forgot about her Joe
and planned to marry Will.
But, after telling Pappy this,
he said, "There's trouble still.

You can't marry Will, my gal,
and please don't tell yo' mother,
cause Will and Joe and several mo'
I know is yo' half-brother."

But Mama knew and said "Honey Child,
Do what makes yo' happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe,
you ain't no kin to Pappy!"

Good god! It's the Gobbler!

If this totally shagadellic place still exists I am totally going there one day!!!!! It's the ghastliest thing I am yet to see and it screams "let's shag!"... how great is that?

Kids these days

My siblings are addicted to Neopets (www.neopets.com) which is an internet based interactive, oh I don't really know what. Anyway you have to be online to play and lately the internet has been acting up and at times webpages refuse to open. This can be sooooooo frustrating. Behold! "frustration" illustrated by a child....

No more worlds to conquer

ATTENTION!

a great incentive to get me to bed

*yawn*

I go, to dream - to dream a dream of the impossible dream.

This is a little beyond bizarre

Have some fun

See what happens when you left click on her. Freeaakay.

and in other news Emily is on the warpath and it's not me.

Time Travel! koo beanz

While time travel may seem like a phenomenon found only in movies like Back to the Future and The Terminator, science reveals this may not be the case.

According to physicists, real-life time travel can occur within a kind of feedback loop where backward movement is possible, but only in a way that is "complementary" to the present. In other words, people can only go back in time and look around but cannot do anything that would alter the present they left behind.

Debunking the Time Travel Paradox

One of the biggest myths surrounding time travel is the idea that if one goes back in time they could, theoretically, do something to change the present. The new model, which uses the laws of quantum mechanics, tosses that famous paradox out the window.

Clearly the present has never been changed by roguish time-travelers, simply due to the fact that people don't suddenly fade out of existence because a rerun of events has prevented their births. Therefore, time travel is either:

* Simply not possible.
* Or, something is acting to prevent any backward movement from changing the present.

While the former option may seem the most logical, Einstein's general theory of relativity has led physicists to suspect the latter.

Using Einstein's Theory of Relativity

According to Einstein, space-time can curve back on itself, allowing time-travelers to double back and meet the younger versions of themselves. A team of physicists from the United States and Australia claim this situation can only be the case if there are physical restrictions protecting the present from changes in the past.

These restrictions exist because of the weird laws of quantum mechanics, though (traditionally) they don't account for a backward movement in time. Quantum behavior is ruled by probabilities:

Before something has actually been observed, there are many other possibilities regarding its state; however, once its state has been measured, those possibilities are cut down to only one, eliminating all uncertainty.

To put it plainly, quantum mechanics discerns between something that might happen and something that did happen. For example, if someone doesn't know if their father is alive--if there is only a 90 percent chance he is alive--then there is a possibility one can go back in time and kill him. But, if one's father is alive in present time, then there is no chance he can be killed in the past.

Ahh, the mysteries of quantum mechanics ...

Alabama Changes the Value of Pi

The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Before long the article had made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly made its way around the world, forwarded by people in their email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by a physicist named Mark Boslough.

Guiness Mean Time

In 1998 Guinness issued a press release announcing that it had reached an agreement with the Old Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England to be the official beer sponsor of the Observatory's millennium celebration. According to this agreement, Greenwich Mean Time would be renamed Guinness Mean Time until the end of 1999. In addition, where the Observatory traditionally counted seconds in "pips," it would now count them in "pint drips." The Financial Times, not realizing that the release was a joke, declared that Guinness was setting a "brash tone for the millennium." When the Financial Times learned that it had fallen for a joke, it printed a curt retraction, stating that the news it had disclosed "was apparently intended as part of an April 1 spoof."

Drunk Driving on the Internet

An article by John Dvorak in the April 1994 issue of PC Computing magazine described a bill going through Congress that would make it illegal to use the internet while drunk, or to discuss sexual matters over a public network. The bill was supposedly numbered 040194 (i.e. 04/01/94), and the contact person was listed as Lirpa Sloof (April Fools backwards). The article said that the FBI was going to use the bill to tap the phone line of anyone who "uses or abuses alcohol" while accessing the internet. Passage of the bill was felt to be certain because "Who wants to come out and support drunkenness and computer sex?" The article offered this explanation for the origin of the bill: "The moniker 'Information Highway' itself seems to be responsible for SB 040194... I know how silly this sounds, but Congress apparently thinks being drunk on a highway is bad no matter what kind of highway it is." The article generated so many outraged phone calls to Congress that Senator Edward Kennedy's office had to release an official denial of the rumor that he was a sponsor of the bill.

London bridges falling down

So sad, that the world is so evil and that human life has so little value. At least we do have the hope of a better world one day, but till then my heart breaks at the pain that so many needlessly endure due to the choices humanity insists on making. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God"

I came across this link and maybe it is just a conspiracy theory but it really makes you wonder.

Turn your volume real loud... we want everyone square dancing to this ditty!

not sure what else to say...

I'm sorry world!

have I let you down? have I really failed? I know you can pipe up and say "all is not lost yet, you can still change your mind!" but do I want to? my problem lies in that I don't want to change my mind. I say I've thought through and through about this and then someone says "no, you FELT through and through." Maybe that's true, but I feel my mind and heart are so closely connected that it really is one and the same to me. Thing is that everyone has a different opinion and view and everyone thinks they know best. I've listened to everyone and thought about what each one said. But I couldn't hear my self think after awhile... everyone elses thoughts were screaming in my head and all I ended up with was confusion. I had to pull away and really think, and think some more. Maybe I've made the wrong choice, but what if I haven't? Life is not black and white, it's easier to imagine it that way and it does make deciding the issues of life much easier. but it's not really that way now is it? Maybe I just have to discover a few things for myself.


my blog is stupid

but have a great day anyway

Can't take my eyes off of you.

I just discovered this amazing Irish troubadour - Damien Rice - after watching the movie Closer. "He doesn't so much reinvent the folk genre on this lush, impossibly mature debut album as push its boundaries in several compelling musical directions at once--all the more remarkable considering the album was largely self-produced and home-recorded." The Blower's Daughter was the one that got the most attention and yes, it is beautiful. He sings with such passionate yearning.

He was just a new discovery for me though I am thinking almost anyone can be him. You know, that broken-hearted pretty boy who's never without his acoustic guitar; always seen with his hair in his eyes and a poetry notebook in his hand. They've always existed in one form or the other, and, in all probability, always will.

And Damien is their king.

IRISH EMO!!!

Enjoy some soppyness...

SHE'S HEEEEEEEERRRREEEEEEEEEE!

Lena is back from Brazil! yaaaaay! We'll be fighting like cats and dogs in about 2 weeks, but till then I will be in my fantasy world adoring my big sister. We'll sit around muse and talk about our plans to go to Europe together, talk about our loves and lives, laugh about the stupid things we've been up to. Then once it's all been said and we run out of anything new we'll become normal siblings, returning to our primal instinctive roots... there's a shortage of ballooning spots when we are all here - it can turn pretty ugly!

Naw, we're doing better in getting along for longer periods of time or at least making up after we finish screaming at each other. I think I was finally accepted by my older siblings as a human being (I'm the baby of the 4) at the age of say... may 22 or 23, I am grateful for this welcoming to our clan! I am slowly forgetting the days when the 3 of them would close the door to their room, me on the outside of course, and organize elaborate fantasy games involving lego men and stuffed animals, spaceships, secret hideouts and . Sheets and blankets were then draped around the room to create their imaginary landscape... what torture for a little piscean to be forced to be on the outside of this perfect playtime, my only hope of being able to participate was by peering through the tiny keyhole. If I could ever guess the secret password I might be allowed to enter, I would hide around the corner in the bathroom and wait for one of them to leave the room. When they would return I would slide as cloe to the corner as possible and listen real hard as they whispered the "secret password" to the designated doorman. A few times I DID HEAR IT and proudly made my way to the door. I knock, I hear someone making their way to the door, "What's the secret password?" Mike asks, clearing my throat and beaming from ear to ear I reply blodly, "Ahem, OPEN SESAME!!". I hear some whispering and shuffling behind the door then , "Sorry, we already changed it! You'll have to go away!" My beautiful beaming smile dropped to the floor and all hopes were then dashed. Slumping my shoulders I made my way back to the bathroom to once again wait and listen in hopes of catching the secret password and trying again.

oh we've come so far since then.
