Celtics @ Heat

I'm going over to DM & CS' to watch the Celtics vs Heat game. Please pray that the Celtics win or CS might never let me back into their house, since she is possibly even more superstitious than me.

To help my cause, I am bringing a small green frog, a piece of green easter basket "grass", and a green sharpie.

Go Celtics!

Cut Military Spending, Duh.

Two members of The Joint Chief of Staff have proposed investing less in the military and more in our youth.

FTA: "Washington needs to make sure that the United States does not fall into the imperial trap of every other superpower in history, spending greater and greater time and money and energy stabilizing disorderly parts of the world on the periphery, while at the core its own industrial and economic might is waning."

How she killed me

It was a seven inch wooden stake, directly into my heart.

And I said, "But I'm not a vampire!".

She said, "You acted like a vampire".

And I said nothing, because she was right.

Identify

You cannot tell me who I am, and I cannot tell you who you are. If you dont know you're own identity, who is going to identify you? Others can give you a name or a number, but they can never tell you who you really are. That is something you yourself can only discover from within.

Push

Every once in a while I receive an email from some unknown source, and of course it's usually spam, but now that I've started meditating (I've really only done this twice :) I am beginning to notice all the voices stirring around in my head...

And so I noticed something in my head that went off just for an instant before I opened the unknown email and the voice basically said something like, "Hey! Maybe this is the email from some secret person that has all the information you need to figure out what to do next in your life!".

Yeah, so that's basically where I'm at.

Now it's over $225. This one was a no-brainer. Why'd we miss it?

Hang

The phrase "Hang in There" makes me think of that cat poster that was always in your Guidance counselor's office.

But the key to this phrase is the word "Hang", because sometimes, when you're beaten down, or tired, or ready to give up, you need to recognize that it's not time to climb. Sometimes you just gotta focus your energy on not letting go.

So just hold on for a while until you refresh, then climb again.

Novi is four.

I bought Novi a bunch of daisies to celebrate her last night of being four years old.

"Daddy, I love these! What are they called?"

"This is a daisy."

"When I grow up, if I have two girls I will call them Daisy and Fiona."

"What if you have two boys?"

"I will call them Lego Star Wars and Star Wars Clone Wars."

Principles of Conversion

A good man can beat up a bad man, but it will never make him good.

Only a good woman can make a bad man good.

Lesson

Listen to the critical but just ignore the cynical.

A Priori?

I immediately thought of Immanuel Kant.

Flap

What if no one in the world could glide like you? What if you could walk to the edge of the cliffs of mohr, smirk at the intimidating drop, and then dive head first, knowing with 100% certainty that the winds would carry you to the direction of your choice?

But what if you werent at the cliffs, and instead, you had to flap those wings before you could glide?

You'd have to flap those wings again and again, and again and again... mighty hard my friend, because you know what?

You reap what you sow.

If you have created a dictionary (NSDictionary or NSMutableDictionary) in Raskolnikov.m, and you need to send that information over to Petrovich.m... I would recommend using NSNotificationCenter.

Petrovich.m / Establish the notification for the function that will use the dictionary:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(functionName:) name:@"Petrovich.functionName" object:nil];

Petrovich.m / Establish the function that will use the dictionary:

- (void) functionName : (NSNotification *)notification {

NHLog(@"victim01 = %@", [notification.userInfo objectForKey:@"victim01"]);

}

Raskolnikov.m / Make a dictionary, then call the function in Petrovich.m that will use the dictionary:

NSMutableDictionary *myDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"Lizaveta", @"victim01", @"Alyona", @"victim02", nil];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"Petrovich.functionName" object:self userInfo:myDictionary];

[myDictionary release];

The NY Jets special teams will be key...

... specifically, the punt return team. For two weeks in a row the Jets punt returner has acted with reckless abandon and almost given over the ball on a punt return. If you're not going to catch that punt, please dont hang out near the ball (or let it go between your legs) and please yell "FIRE!" so your teammates know to avoid the ball as well.

Go Vermont!

This is pretty awesome. A new resolution by state senator Virginia Lyons of Vermont is aiming to tear down corporate rights.

A bit from the legislation:

The profits and institutional survival of large corporations are often in direct conflict with the essential needs and rights of human beings...

Now a resolution is really just a proposal, but it's still a step in the right direction imho.

Le Boycott: Day 107

This wonderful photograph of Will Ferrell reminded me of how often I used to watch Step Brothers.



Sadly, Step Brothers was removed from Netflix as a streaming option 107 days ago. I'm boycotting Netflix until they bring it back.

I'm just kidding about the boycott, but I'm not kidding when I tell you that I have seen that movie on Netflix at least 20x. No shame either, because A) Those guys are funny, and there are a bunch of Lvl 02 characters that bring it home as well, and B) Let's face it, the options on Netflix streaming are pretty weak.

A la:
