As you can see, in a fit of boredom,I signed up for Adsense.
It works like this: Google crawls your blog to see what you're writing about, and then puts related ads on your site.
I think it's REALLY funny that there are now ads for Potato Soup recipes all over the place, don't you???
I can't take Tom Cruise seriously either. Does'nt he realize how crazy he looks to the rest of the world or don't his "handlers" let him see what's really going on.
Well, like I said on my own blog, why would someone listen to what an actor has to say about religion, politics, or life in general?
Tom Cruise may be a bit soft betwixt the ears, but he's a damned fine actor. If you can't tell because of all the recent action movies he's been doing, go rent "Magnolia." It's a touching film that makes even insensitive, beer-swilling, woman-objectifying yahoos like me ask for the box of Puffs + Aloe.
I think it's a shame that he let his personal life (i.e. the women he's dated/married, etc, and his spiritual views) overshadow the acting work he's done in the past. I've never been a big fan, but, sadly, I believe he's become a caricature of himself.
Oh, and while I'm in a touchy-feely, hand me a man-midol type of mood, I thought I should mention that Kitty Von Kitty is a cutey von cutey! I really miss my ow cat, who had to take a little vacation to my folks place while I'm at Oxford.
*Sniffle*
Alex, I couldn't agree more with you that people shouldn't use entertainers as spiritual directors. It's a dangerous business. Just look at the arrest that took place at the Kabbalah center in Israel. (Speaking of Berg's Kabbalah--i.e. Madonna, etc--not the traditional sect.)
And, believe me, I'm all for spiritual freedom...whatever gets you there is great. I would just warn people to use their brains (and hearts) before joining any organization.
:)
Alex: re Kitty Von Kitty--
Do you have a photo of your cat? I can make him or her cat of the month next month so you can look at him everytime you log on!
Sorry Chrissy--but, can Chewy wait until January? This guy's desperate!
p.s. Hey Alex--consider yourself TAGGED!
Aw, crap! Does that mean I'm "it?" Then again, what does it mean to be "it" anyway? This always drove me mad - what is "it?" Is "it" an altered state of being, like some sort of spiritual vampirism, where you can only get rid of your itness by (not defeating the source of the it, as quack quack no tagback obviously applies in most cases) passing it on to others, thereby causing the phenomenon known as "it" to spread? Or is being "it" only in one's mind? Is it a psychological effect so strong that one needs to physically remove one's ithood in order to cure the itiosity of the mind?
Oh, and I'll email you a picture of the grand meowquisitor in a sec. It may take me a while to find one where he's not attacking the wrist-thong on the camera. (You'd think it would be easier to catch a cat, of all creatures, napping quietly.)
I think IT-ness, like God-realization, is beyond the intellect. It' sort of an ingrained quality that 'it' people possess. I've never been an 'IT' person myself, so I wouldn't know "it" from Adam (or is that 'Atom'?)
HHmmmm...in this IT case, all IT means is that you have to answer and post the same 7 questions that appear in this post, on your post.
What is it? That's it. Now, of course, the question becomes, what is That? Well, if 'it' is 'that', then 'that' must be 'it'.
See, this theory only PROVES that all of this is beyond the intellect.
Being 'it' is just something you/re going to have to learn to live with, Alex. Let it be what IT wants to be.
Zombie Lama-ding-dong: I believe it's bribery AND flatery. By the way, have I ever told you what a handsome Zombie you are??
;)
Oops! I spelled 'flattery' incorrectly. As a school teacher, I feel I must own up to my error.
Forgive me.
Uh...Maddyo4...I hate to tell you this, but I didn't spell it correctly. I hope you didn't go and write the word 10 times in cursive so as to remember the spelling. If so, you may want to check out dictionary.com for the 'real' spelling of the word I can't spell. I can't eat it, either!
And, I wish you were my student, too! I need more students who think Johnny Depp is the greatest thing since sliced bread! (My students, given their age, think Hilary Duff is all the rage.)
Frank Zappa is dead?! No way!
I have never been able to take Tom Cruise seriously either!
Great 7 :)
Yes, Milady, it is unfortunate, however, Zappa bought the farm...about 10 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long! But, I still LOVE his music, and I think his humor will live forever, and be appreciated when people look back and realize that his social commentary had so much wisdom. It's a shame he died so young. :(
