Wonders

I wonder if they have handicap parking in Iran, Syria places like that!?

I noticed chicken is more desirable when the meat is left on the bone.
I had some boneless chicken breast, it was good, but somehow I felt cheated. I didn't feel like I was having an experience, it was all too nice! Maybe that's why I like the wings, you gotta struggle to get at the meat!

Sometimes I think those head covering Muslim women wear is an excuse not to do their hair!

Have you ever seen the Chinese military on parade? They look very disciplined and ready.
How's your Chinese!?

I was watching on YouTube, the North Korean military parade, and the people seemed terrified, you could see it in their eyes, even though they try going through the motions of having a good time.
I expected to see that same look in the eyes of the Chinese, but I didn't, they seemed genuinely happy and in good spirits!
I was kinda surprised by that.
What ever happened to Communism!?

Congratulations

Congratulations to the Chicago Police Department for their handling of the Nato protesters.
There was alot of talk about how the city was going to burn, I think,in part it was due to the professionalism of the CPD that this didn't happen, even though, the out of towners weren't as tough as everyone had thought they would be!
I'm still on the fence about you guys, but I'll give you this one!
Stay safe!

Shorts

I think baseball caps and shorts are stupid! Yes, I have worn baseball caps in my life, when I was in the military, didn't think much of it then. After military life, I wore them off and on depending on how I felt.
I never felt any thing attractive about them, and I noticed some people looked good in them, others not. I've always looked at them as being the "lazy man's hat".
Shorts to me, are like the baseball cap on your ass, they seem stupid to me. I know on a hot day they may provide some comfort, but for me, they send the wrong message, and I'm not exactly sure what that message is... maybe that I'm not sophisticated, which I'm not, but like to think of myself as.
I don't know, they just seem cave- mannish.

Shake on it

Seeing two women shake hands feels unfamiliar to me, even though I see it all the time. Something about it feels strange. I have no problem seeing men do this, it seems the right thing for a man to do.
As I understand it, handshaking was a means to take advantage of the other man by bringing him in closer and stabbing, clubbing or punching, ect. And taking his valuables.
Even today symbolically, that's what going on when two men shake hands.

Women should pretend to kiss each other on the cheek as a greeting, or just say hello. I am told this is hard for them to do because females can't stand other females. Perhaps, this is why they prefer the hand shake!

Known

I've heard this question :"can we really know someone!? "
Think about it for a moment.

Is it possible to know someone completely?
I don't think many of us know ourselves completely. Even though we know what other don't about ourselves. There's still something we know not of about ourselves.
So how can we know another?
Some people think they do without realizing what they think they know is only what they think they see, and would not venture deeper fearing they would encounter something that would reflect back to themselves which they would fear.
In the human sense, you can never know another.
In the spiritual sense, you know them all as yourself.

Normal

Hooray! Thank you security organizations for stopping a bombing aboard an aircraft that could have killed many. You are doing your jobs.
Now that we see the United States security apparatus can work, give us back some freedoms we used to enjoy at the airports...stop treating the customers like potential treats with pat downs and xrays!
"Give us free "and let the security departments do their jobs.

PS :to the security departments, no need to tell us everything, all we need are the basics.

Noise

I'm trying to be patient, I'm trying to be understanding, and most of all, I'm trying not to lose my cool... one of my female co-worker just won't shut her mouth. On and on about nothing, and the same things all the time! It is past annoying and it won't stop! It's like a nagging wife, or a baby that won't stop crying....
It wouldn't be so bad, if there were useful information to be had. It's always about bad stuff and NEVER anything good! (the feeling is like sitting in a theater and having her run in screaming fire when there is none!)
The funny thing is, she honestly can't see what she does, she has the inability to truely see herself! She's stuck on the fantasy of who she is and no one can tell her different!
God I hope I can make it!
