Moments in History

I wonder how different history would be....If

Emperor Nero had access to good private therapy or brain stabilizing chemical drugs?

What if Genghis Khan took ecstasy?

What if there was no gold in the new world?

What if Napoleon was 6 feet tall?

The order of history seems to be dictated by those who are crazy, bold and innovative. For this reason alone I get nervous when everyone I meet seems so normal and conforming.

4:18 AM

I woke up last night and looked out the window
In my neighbors backyard there were a pack of dogs wrestling against the fence that seperates our house.
I remeber thinking it was weird I wasn't afraid
I wondered why it was light light out?
Did I sleep in to late?
Then I remembered I was dreaming
I looked at the bed and I saw I was still asleep
I have never seen myself like that before
I could hear myself snoring.
Everything went black and I woke up.

When I woke up I was so sure I would see myself watching me that I looked around the room and wondered where I went.

I checked the window for the dogs

But they were gone

At least for now

One More thing I Like about China

No Time Zones!!

I bet they never get yelled at by people in the West for scheduling meetings to early or wonder what coast they are going to piss off by scheduling a meeting over lunch. I also wonder if they get more work done since collaboration can take place across the whole country at the same time.

I don't feel bad for you people in California yeah you have to get up at six but you are basically off at 3:00 and you live in California!!

The Modern Game Night: Checkers

One of my most endearing qualities is that I can turn almost anything into a drinking game. Here is a drinking game for two people.... I now present to you....drunken checkers.

What you need:
1.) 2 Different color markers to mark the plastic glasses.
2.) Sack of plastic shot glass (You will need one and two if you don't have two separate sets of shot glasses although in a pinch you can use regular shot glasses and put the black and red chips in the glasses to mark who is who, although this method is not advised since it takes up the room for the booze)
3.) Some kind of shot. (Since this is a quick game sometime using beer instead of booze makes sense)

How to play
1.) Fill all of the glasses half full and line them on the board like you would checkers.
2.) If you jump someone they have to take the shot and remove the glass from the board.
3.) If you get kinged you get your shot glass filled to the top.

Otherwise it is played like normal checkers...

Enjoy

Halloween

It seems America is caught in the midest of Vampire fevor.....I wonder what Vampires dress up as for Halloween?

Maybe it it kind of like the Folson Street fair for them one day when you can walk down the street with your inner freak on the outside and life is ok?

Enemies

If you are going to make life long enemies make sure their life is a lot shorter then yours....

What Do You Want on Your Tombstone?

If you think about it a tombstone is kind of like a one way personal ad for necrophilia's.

Or a product freshness indicator.

Directions

Is it funny how different directions are for assembling a bike vs. assembling a dinner recipe? They have a lot on common bunch of pieces combined to make something from the sum of the parts.

Most people just look at the picture and work from there...

I suppose the difference is in the lawsuits your dinner is probably not going to sue you is you break or injure someone.

Directions.

IKEA

I think the Ikea catalog should just be a 100 pages of different sized boxes.

Unbalanced

When building a deck or patio you should have a slope of a 1/4 inch for every ten feet to let the water run off. Failure to build in this unbalanced offset allows water to stand and the foundation to start breaking in the middle.

Sometimes being a little unbalance saves the core from lifes water collacting in the middle and undermining the entire structure.

Cheers to being unbalanced...at least a little bit.
