100th Post

I just realized that this next post should be a benchmark.   One hundred posts, and just one month short of a year.

I decided to bounce back and pick up some bits and pieces as review . . .

"Alea Iacta Est!"

June 2009 13th

" Have you ever heard a fog horn?  It's wonderful deep tones booming forth, guiding ships home through the darkness?  Every half minute it rolls forth in mellow declaration of safety, the tones vibrating softly in the air. Nearby, the waves roll steadily inland their thunder of movement filling the ear with a comfortable backdrop to the lilting music of the birds. Where the water comes in contact with stolid rock, it roars upwards with boom and a flash of white that surprises the senses. The silence brought by the concussion of tide is filled with the hiss of water returning to it's course.

It's honest, the sea. It makes you face things honestly. . . It speaks to you of things that you wish could be, and it speaks of who you are, pointing out your flaws, but through all things is fair. Not letting us stumble under the weight of it's words. One can ignore it's words as merely the natural sounds of a vigorous habitat, but one always hears whether one wishes it or not. Those of deep inclinations become enthralled by it, becoming devoted to it. They love it as few masters are loved, and they fear it's power. For she is a cruel mistress.  "

"Found some really cool Latin this morning : caligo (1) -inis f. [fog , mist, darkness]. Transf., [mental darkness, dullness; calamity, affliction, gloom]


That just makes my brain whirl!!"

"They later informed me that even though I had beaten both of them together, it did not entitle me to a victory breakdance in the parking lot. "

"~ Throwing rocks at Robert as he climbed down a cliff. Sorry. Dirt. Not rocks.
~ Climbing down the same said cliff barefoot. Because Robert made it down with only water shoes, and I totally had to top him. Then having Rachel do it as well, and then racing back up hill. Everyone barefoot."

"Now I'm crying, because I want to walk. I want to talk. My heart yearns within me. I open my mouth in a groan, trying to tell them . . . I want to walk. Now I'm wailing, I want to be smart! Please let me be smart! Please let me be who I used to be! Tears roll down my cheeks in a flood of coolness.


Why can't I?
Why can't I?
WHY CAN'T I, PLEASE!!?"

"No guilt in life, no fear in death -

This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final death,
Jesus commands my destiny."

"Stars sparkle gently in the cold dark winter of space, their gentle forms sometimes faint to the point of non-existence, sometimes bright as a shout of laughter, flowing round the ghost outline of a ship."

"just cause everything may royally suck right now, doesn't mean things don't get better. Cause there is always something beautiful. There are mountains to reach the top of, coasts to walk along, friends to laugh with, cars to drive, music to listen to.


It gets better. I promise."

And that's it.  Happy One Hundredth, blog!

Is it just me?

Or has this ministry gone a little too corporate?   And honestly,  how would this be encouraging to anyone?

Huberis

Today is a Random Thought Day (commonly known as RTD).

Thought A)   I have finally taken the time to create my own twitter account, after a fair amount of research into it's uses.  I'm curious to see how that turns out.  Two reasons for doing so :  a ) It's best to be up to date on the different internet trends, and to be able to use them,  especially in my line of business,  and b )  It will be a perfect way to keep in touch w/ people while I'm in Oregon later this year.

But what made me laugh the most, was the username I picked.   I wanted something smart, and I ended up with huberislayne.   Now, you may think that that is huber is layne, however you would be incorrect.  Rather, it is huberis layne.

thought B ) Hubris (aka huberis)  N -  extreme haughtiness or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of touch with reality and overestimating one's own competence or capabilities, especially for people in positions of power.


This seemed remarkably appropriate and funny.


Thought C)  I'm still not convinced that I should get facebook yet.


Thought D)  Did you know that there is more bacteria in your intestines (good mostly)  than there are cells in your body?  Technically speaking, shouldn't that mean we are a bacterial colony life form?  With some Human mixed in?  Maybe the part of us that is always sinful is created by the low-end electronic pulses of bacterial life forms!  Except that presumably Dogs have bacteria too.  .  .


    

Chamomile

I have found over the past couple months that when I go to Tim Horton's, there are not a lot of liquid options that I really enjoy.  I believe that this is mostly due to the overwhelming abundance of sugar in their hot chocolate and cappuccinos (and don't get me started on the mocha's).  But if you take sugar out of the picture, it removes almost all the possibilities and you end up with the options of coffee (only cream) or . . . .  tea.

And as time goes by,  I find that, more and more, my favorite drink at Tim's is Chamomile tea.

So shoot me.  = P
