Drivers these days

I found this sign posted on an electrical box on the south side. The original warning had been worn off and replaced with a far more urgent and pressing matter to aware of: Edmonton drivers.

"TSX index off more than 400 points"

Ok, one more quote. I stole this one right off the Google.

"There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers."

- Richard Feynman

Actually while I'm ripping off Quote of the Day I'll include this gem:

"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck."

- George Carlin

Now I'm done.

Brilliant

From cracked.com:

"And what’s the presidency if not a glorified drive thru window? You take the orders of America, misinterpret them due to a broken and convoluted communications system, then give them what you thought they wanted and charge them for it anyway."

Awesome. Read the article here

End of Days

I'm not going to call myself a Christian as this can be misconstrued in all of the wrong ways. I do however have a great interest in the bible. I won't preach to you but I would like to highlight a few things concerning the end of the age:

"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."

Sound familiar? I have made plans to leave Edmonton and that passage really explains one of the reasons I have decided to do so. All though there are great people here the general population shows these traits in great abundance.

A little further on:

"For the time will come when they will no longer endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires."

*cough* cough* SCIENTOLOGY *cough*cough*

What about our seemingly endless environmental issues?

"Lift up yours eyes to the sky, the look to the Earth beneath; for the sky will vanish like smoke, and the Earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants will die in a like manner."

Maybe I am preaching, whatever. These things really got me thinking and I thought I would share them. I'll go back to talk about other things when I'm a little less freaked out.

Viva La Vida

Though I had a lot of respect for Coldplay it wasn't until an ex's influence that I started to really get into their music and become a fan. It was the 2003 live DVD that eventually won me over and then the release of X&Y which sealed the deal. Therefore I just wanted to take this moment to declare my undying love for Viva La Vida, an absolutely brilliant album on every conceivable scale.

Book of Corporate Life

I don't usually like to post things that have been forwarded to me, however this one was too good to pass up. Plus I forwarded it to myself anyways (Off a friends computer)


Today's reading is from the Book of Corporate Life,
Chapter 11, verses 1-15:

1. In the beginning was the Plan.
2. And then came the Assumptions.
3. And the Assumptions were without form.
4. And the Plan was without Substance.
5. And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
6. And the Workers spoke among themselves saying, "It is a crock of shit and it stinks."
7. And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a crock of dung and we cannot live with the smell."
8. And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying, "It is a container of organic waste, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
9. And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
10. And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another; "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
11. And the directors went to the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
12. And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him "It has very powerful effects."
13. And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was good.
14. And the Plan became Policy.
15. And that is how Shit Happens.
