Why Men Shouldn't Take Messages

Hilarious picture that I found on a blog (http://smilinszq.spaces.msn.com/PersonalSpace.aspx)

For you slow ones, the real message was "Someone from the Gynocologist's called. They said the Pap Smear is fine".

LOL... Goes to show you what men are always thinking of :P

This Momentous Day

The following excerpt from Dean Koontz novel, "From the Corner of His Eye", is a must read, for it has the ability to change lives and put things into perspective for us all on the repercussions of even our smallest actions (same goes for the book itself).


Not one day in anyone's life is an uneventful day, no day without profound meaning, no matter how dull and boring it might seem, no matter whether u are a seamstress or a queen, a shoeshine boy or a movie star, a renowned philosopher or a Down's-syndrome child.

Because in every day of ur life, there are opportunities to perform little kidnesses for others, both by conscious acts of will and unconcscious example.

Each smallest act of kindness - even just words of hope when they are needed, the remembrance of a birthday, a compliment that engenders a smile - reverberates across great distances and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each time it's passed, until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage years later and far away.

Likewise, each small meanness, each thoughtless expression of hatred, each envious and bitter act, regardless of how petty, can inspire others, and is therefore the seed that ultimately produces evil fruit, poisoning people whom u have never met and never will.

All human lives are so profoundly an intricately entwined - those dead, those living, those generations yet to come - that the fate of all is the fate of each, and the hope of humanity rests in every heart and in every pair of hands.

Therefore, after every failure, we are obliged to strive again for success, and when faced with the end of one thing, we must build something new and better in the ashes, just as from pain and grief, we must weave hope, for each of us is a thread critical to the strength - the very survival - of the human tapestry.

Every hour in every life contains such often-unrecognized potential to affect the world that the great days for which we, in our dissatisfaction, so often year are already with us; all great days and thrilling possibilities are combined always in THIS MOMENTOUS DAY!

True Friends - Funny Poem

Dear Friend,

When ur sad ... I'll get u drunk and help you plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

When you are blue ... I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

When you smile ... I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are scared ... I will rag you about it every chance I get.

When ur worried ... I will tell u horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.

When you are confused ... I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass.

When you are sick ... stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall ... I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath ... I pledge 'till the end.

Why you may ask? Because you're my friend!
