wow, this is hilarious!:

IT IS NOT A SPAM, but if you received that message second and plus time JUST CLICK DELETE button and have a nice day. Don't feel bad, please understand original Scarlett's family very desperate to shout down that humiliating antichristian "actress" clones line career development. Hello dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress) actually is a clone from original person Scarlett Galabekian last name, who has nothing with acting career. That clone was created illegally by using stolen biological material. Original person is very nice (not d**n sexy),most important - CHRISTIAN young lady! I'll tell you more,those clones (it's not only one) made in GERMANY - world leader manufacturer of humans clones, it is in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Mr. Helmut Kohl home town. You can not even imaging the scale of the cloning activity. But warning! Helmut Kohl clone staff strictly controlling all their clones (at least they trying) spreading around the world, they are very accurate with that, some of them are still NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled clones, so be careful get close with clones you will be controlled as well. Original person is not happy with those movies, images, video, rumors and etc. spreading on media in that way it would be really nice if we all will try slow down that ''actress'' career development, original Scarlett will really appreciated that. Please remember that original Scarlett's family did not authorize any activity with stolen biological materials, no matter what form it was created in it was stolen and it is stolen. It all need to be delivered to authorized personals control in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Original Scarlett never was engaged, by the way! Her close friend Serge G. P.S. CONTROLLING ACTIVITY OF ANY CLONES IS US MILITARY OPERATION. H.R. 534, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003, was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on February 5, 2003. After discussion, it was passed on February 27 by a vote of 241-155. It now moves on to the Senate for consideration. This bill makes it unlawful for any person or entity to perform or participate in human cloning, or to ship or receive embryos produced by human cloning. The penalties are imprisonment of up to 10 years and fines of $1 million or more. These now join other nations as diverse as Norway, Australia, and Germany, which had already added cloning for any purpose to their criminal code. And in Germany where it carries a penalty of five years imprisonment they know a thing or two about unethical science.

Trail of random thoughts to follow:

Snipped from the Newbery Medal thread:
what constitutes literary taste
Make literary interchangeable with cinematic, musical, etc., insert an assumed (good) before the entertainment medium being discussed, and add a question mark for me please so that it looks like this:

What constitutes (good) [entertainment medium] taste?



Because more and more lately, I feel like my taste is bad because it tends to lean towards a combination of campy, light, fluffy, and fun in practically all media.

I certainly appreciate serious, intelligent, and dark things but at the end of the day, I will reach for the campy to watch/read/listen to before I reach for something more...mature, I guess I'll say for lack of a better descriptor.



It's getting kind of old feeling like I am on some sort of edge where I can either fall into the depths of stupidity/obnoxiousness or elevate myself to some level of higher being (I say being to encompass thinking, learning, behaving, etc.).

I just feel weird...like I don't have any particular place to fit in, were life to suddenly require a more strict and obvious categorization and separation based on interests, talents, backgrounds, whatever.

Which reminds me, I have taken loads of tests for work and while in school that were supposed to tell you which is your dominant brain (left vs right) and other related things that are supposed to give you some insight into how you function and how you approach things. I was always one of the few, sometimes the only one, to get consistent results that placed me smack dab in the middle. Nothing ever dominated.

I don't think they should be taken all that seriously, but they seemed to be accurate enough for other people and they seemed reassured to know they have some strengths and weaknesses versus just being okay across the board. Mediocrity, I am your slave.

Which leads me to say, there was a story in IGMS that I enjoyed because it dealt with people being born talented specifically in some way. Good story, that.



Today's random thoughts brought to you be the Newbery Medal.

(I should state, that may not seem to be a logical flow -hell, they're thoughts and they're mine so logical may be out of the question anyway- but I did leave out a few things because I couldn't figure out how to express the thoughts in a way that seemed altogether worthwhile.)

A grocery store refused to make a birthday cake with a 3 year old's name on it. His name is Adolf Hitler Campbell. Oh, and his sisters? JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April. Not to worry, Walmart made the cake in the end.

I have a cat named Walker, Texas Ranger. That name has a nice story attached to it, but needless to say we usually call her simply "Walker". Occasionally, I talk about her over the phone, and I see people react strangely. This makes me equal parts amused and infuriated. I am amused at their reactions, but also I will name my cat whatever I darn well please and I will thank you to leave Chuck Norris and his internet groupies out of it!

I am sick of feeling light headed these past few days. I wish I knew that cause so I could end it now.

I feel like I'm stuck inside a airtight can and its causing me headaches. I haven't changed my diet or any other thing that could affect me this way. Its very very odd. Maybe I have a tumor =\ -_-

No, it isn't.

So, after my alcohol binge, someone said I should take at least one set of daily multivitamins to help my stomach recover since I had already been having trouble with it before I both used antibiotics and binged on alcohol.. both of which hurt your stomach. So, I went to Trader Joes and bought a huge container of them. Not to waste, I've been taking those. I also found this huge container of "Flaxseed Omega 3, 6 and 9" pills for "overall cardiovascular health" in our kitchen... huge pills that look like suppositories. So, I've been taking those too.

Some side effects I've noticed:

I need less sleep. I asked around, and I noticed that it's a kind of common thing. I'm sleeping less and staying awake later. 6 hours of sleep last night, been awake for 17 hours. Day before I slept for about 6 as well and was awake for 18 hours. I'm also not tired in the middle of the day anymore.

My stomach problems seem to have gone away.

My skin looks to be clearing up from acne.


Another thing, perhaps related to the above, I stopped using soap. Oh my, no soap! No, I still wash my hands. I use soap on my face. I still wash my hair. The only thing I've changed is I no longer use body soap. Instead, before I get wet, I use a very rough scrub brush and brush down my entire body to get rid of the dead skin and then rinse off very well. Gattica! I don't smell, and I've even asked others to tell me if I smell to them. Makes my showers shorter. Perhaps related to the reduced body acne bit too!

Weird thing to post here... don't look at me like that. I'm not weird! I swear! Okay, probably just a little weird.. but in a totally awesome way.

Don't worry, dry body brushing before showering is not uncommon. I tried it but gave it up because I find it too time consuming and I'm too cold to stand there naked that long.

My cat's tummy must be my shoe size. She likes to sleep with her tummy pressed completely against the bottom of my foot and it fits perfectly.

Because of this, I never have to wear socks to bed.

Having recently done a read through of old threads I am very displeased with Alea, Virlomi and YV for having deleted many of their early posts on this forum. I briefly considered removing them from the list of people I would bump uglies with, but ultimately decided that was too harsh a punishment.
