Raining
It’s raining. Anyone want to go running?
I added a few ads on the side but they only show ads for blogs. Is there anyway to get Gogle Adsense to show ads that people might actually want to click on? Shakespeare got to get paid. Or not, as I’ll probably never generate enough traffic to actually make real money on ads. Especially if I only post about this here blog.
So, I should post about something else right? Well I’m about to start reading an Anne Rice book about Jesus. I’ve never read an Anne Rice book, let alone one about a possible historic figure, so I don’t know what to expect. But from what I know of her writing, I can only assume Jesus will drink the blood of his helpless victims, while they beg for mercy. Maybe he’ll end up fighting mummies (the subtitle says Egypt in it so my guess is yes, Jesus will battle the undead. He should cast ‘Fire’ or ‘Holy’ as the undead dislike those spells). I can’t wait.
The real ultimate shitter?
I’d recommend that everyone see Syriana. It is pretty relevant considering the current middle east ‘crisis’. Who here feels that our President is doing the right thing? (Ad hoc poll. Haven’t figured out how to setup one of those.)
If I remember correctly, Google Ads display ads similiar to things you’re talking about… Like, right now, since you mentioned rain, there are a bunch of ads showing up that have to do with rain (rain and gutters, interestingly enough).

My sister was telling me about something she learned in her class the other day. I can’t remember what the term was, but the concept is simple. Your mind is conditioned to observe only what it wants to observe.
For example, if you think someone is beautiful, you will always see them as beautiful even if they aren’t looking so great. If you are trying to lose weight because you think you are fat, you will see yourself as fat even if you have lost enough weight.
Well, let’s just say I think Bush could singlehandedly save the last dying Blue Whale and I’d still think there was some ulterior motive or ill intentions. Maybe the plankton have strong lobbyists.
This issues is real for a lot of people like me now. It is presenting real problems for me in judging the presidents actions.
I only know a few things for sure:
1) We were lied to about Iraq.
2) Unconditional support for Isreal is not right.
3) Bush is applying the ideas and rules of his religeon to people not in his religeon. i.e. me.
4) He will avoid the North Korean, Iran, and Middle East issues to fester until the next president because the issues are just too hard for him to cope with.

I agree about Syriana.
Here`s a good poll .. if you met the president and could either say one thing to him or just punch him in the face and get away with it, which would you do? What would you say or what kind of punch would you use? I can`t decide, and I think about this every time I read the news.

All my ads are for blogs! Is it just for me? I already have one and I’m switching to a new one anytime soon!
Yes, I know of this issue with only seeing what you expect or want to see, but Bush is so concerned with his ‘image’ and how he is perceived (remember ‘Mission Accomplished’?) that when he appears to be floundering I know we’re fucked.

“I already have one and I’m switching to a new one anytime soon!”
You (and now That Guy as well) need to remember to put the word “not” into your sentences .. what are you, subconsciously optimistic?
