Well, for a while now, I've owned a parakeet. It used to be two, but one died, and so for a month or two it was just the one. Well, recently I noticed that the one parakeet has started shedding more than she should, including some blood feathers. I'm hoping its merely depression, as I've bought a new parakeet to be her companion.
The newest edition seems more content to either fly around the room or perch on me, where as the other two prefered the cage. I've decided to let my parakeets keep their wings, as its more fun watching them fly around the room, and easier to train them to do arial acrobatics if they can fly.
Today, I came across a rather funny comic, which you can view here.

If Star Wars was a Porno . . .
I'm pretty sure it'd look something like this.
Personally, I think there's something wrong with a guy who needs to use a dildo for any reason. Now if it was one of these, I could understand, provided it was for use with a female in conjunction with a ball gag and a leash.
Let me further state that I'm glad I no longer attend Cornerstone University, as I would have a hard time explaining any of this to the IS department when they recieve the flags for everything I was looking up in order to do this post.

Random Sappyness
Speak Softly Love by Andy Williams
"Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever know
*Wine coloured days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live unitil we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love, so softly love"

Embeding flash
okay, I've figured out how to embed flash files in my posts-- does anyone know how to keep them from starting/repeating on their own? I have no trouble on flashes that come with the appropriate code, but what do i do with the ones that don't?

"50 things about guys" with comments by: The Reverend Andrew
1. Guys hate "sluts."
Well, hates kind of a strong word, but I definately wouldn't seriously date one.
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
I've never used either of those lines on the phone
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
The most important things are the things we think about just before we go to sleep, depending on how many there are, we may not sleep that night. (pretty sure this is why I don't sleep much)
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
I don't plan it out, I prefer to make it up as I go, yeah there will be pauses, but so what?
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
If he cares about the girl, he could be having the worst day ever, and her smile will make whatever bad stuff happened fade to nothing.
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
eh, I do stuff just to do stuff.
7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
Actually, I don't mind hearing about it, but its not something I want to talk about constantly. I'd like to know you have more of a life than who you're dating or who you dated.
8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
I just want her to feel that she can come to me about anything.
9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
guys aren't as secure as you think we are.
10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.
I don't mind actually, unless its a guy I don't trust. Hang out with whomever you wish, but if I don't trust them I don't really want to hear about it.
11. Guys get jealous easily.
It depends on the situation, and how serious the relationship is.
12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
I definately have a pretty good poker face when I try.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
depends on how she says it.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
not always the case
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
I've never asked my parents for money so I could get a girl something. I had this lovely thing called a job
16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
17. Guys are very open about themselves.
depends on who I'm around. If I'm around the right person, I'll volunteer the information. Otherwise they have to ask, and then I'll only give the most basic information.
18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
This is true about anyone
19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.
This doesn't mean we like you any less.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
not always the case. But if we want your advice, then we trust you a lot.
21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
I'm just a tease, doesn't mean I like the person beyond friendship.
22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
23. Guys will brag about anything.
If you've done it and there's a witness, it ain't bragging.
24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you.
I've only used the word hot to describe a girl that is temperature hot. I use words like attractive or pretty.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
Where as girls seem able to do more than one thing at once, guys seem to be able to think about more than one thing at once. When a girl does one small thing, a guys entire mental energy will go into trying to figure it out-- which usually leads to burn out
26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
not always the case
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
I know several who cant do either, or can do both.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. I didn't like this one, so i took it out. Though true it was. **Nomi's note: Just a typical guy thing, taking out the bits they don't like. Haha.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
I've learned from both, I know some who don't learn from either.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and other things. (being a wuss)
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
sometimes true, not usually the case for me.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
again, depends on the person and the circumstance
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
its more that we're flexible enough to allow some wiggle room.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
or you and your boyfriend need to watch the pda. . .
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
Very much true
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
actually, I like a good challenge
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
not so much with the intimidation, I just don't like snobs.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, BUT THEY HATE BEING LED ON EVEN MORE.
Very very true. I hate being led on. Rejection really doesn't bother me.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his right arm to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
It'd have to be atleast for a month or two
50. No guy can handle all his problems by his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
Well, hates kind of a strong word, but I definately wouldn't seriously date one.
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.

I Have Good News . . .
I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Well, not really, but I am now a state certified bartender. And I only had to take the test four times . . .
The class was a lot of fun, as were the teachers. Now I just need to find a job . . .

Man Laws
Miller Lite has changed its ads to comercials about Man Laws, they have a website for it, and you can find it here. On the site they have the manlawpedia, with over 1,000 man laws written in it that were previously unwritten. Also in the manlawpedia, there is the option to edit the manlaws, as well as comment on them, and make exceptions to said man law. It's a granted that persuit of a woman is usually a justifiable reason for breaking just about any of the man laws.
I have added my own man law: All men must see the Godfather Trilogy atleast once in their lifetime.
I personally hold that no woman should be a valid excuse for breaking this man law.

Some kind of test thingy
I thought I would score higher in warmth, however, I can see how on average I'm at that level. Depending on the person, I go much higher or lower in that area. Overall I agree with my results.

Meijer Babysitting Service
Every time I work in the gas station with Sonny and Cher (no their real names), I end up having to act as a baby sitter. These two people are seeing eachother. Now, if they were younger than me, I could understand this, however, they are both older than me (cher is a grandmother) I shouldn't have to be the mature one. However, I find that I end up having to parent these two as they fight through out the entire work shift. I had once asked to transfer to the gas station, now I really don't want to do that, as I really don't want to be a babysitter for these two every time that I have to work. I get along fine with everyone else though, so if I end up transfering out there for good, I'm going to have to ask for an ealier shift-- I can't handle those two in six to eight hour stretches.

Bitterness
yeah, I'm entering a pretty bitter period in my life-- it starts with work, and I'm able to contain it there, but then it starts to spread to the rest of my life. I've never been able to figure out the cause, as I'm pretty good at keeping my work life and my personal life seperate-- there's some over lap with people I interact with which I also interact with at work.
I know that part of it is that I've got people who say that they're my friends, but I never actually hang out with them. Those aren't friends, those are people I know. They tell me that they're busy-- but no one's busy 24/7. I'm tired of getting the short end of the stick, and its getting to the point where I begin cutting off the people in my life who take but never give. I can only give so much before I need to be refilled. It isn't fair to the people with whom I have an equal give and take relationship, because it will begin to affect how I treat them as well.

It's too hot
I've been without my air conditioning for a while, but I didn't really start to feel it until this past saturday. My fan just isn't doing the job. So I've put in to have the air conditioning fixed, as well as the toilet which has been running constantly for the last few months. Its not that I like my things to work less than pefectly well, its just that I learn to adapt to the changes, and then forget about it completely.
It's for this reason that I abdicate spanking. When my parents spanked me, there wasn't a re-occurance of the crime committed for quite some time. But when I was grounded, or had things taken away, I learned to live without television or video games. I loved reading when I was little, and I still do, my parents never took my books away, so I always had a way to pass the time. But spankings, those hurt, and that nice survival instinct given to us by God teaches us that such pain is bad, and therefore, avoid things that cause it.

My Secret Project
I've been working on a secret project which combined with work and Jessica has really sapped my time. (which is why I've rarely been posting)
anyway, I've finished the project, and you can view it here.
Its an anime music video, and lasts about 9 minutes. It speaks for itself, so I'm not really going to speak much about it here, other than to say that the quality isn't the greatest because I had to lower it in order to upload it.

Jesus Wasn't a Hippy!
Many Christians believe that Jesus had long hair, and that since he also preached loving God with all of yourself, and loving others as you love yourself, they call him a hippy. These people forget that Jesus was in favor of owning a sword (if you have no sword, sell your garment, and buy one [Luke 22:36]), and don't forget the temple where he trashed the place because people were being dishonest in the Lord's House. He even said: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) The men who had long hair were the Nazarites (Samson was one of these) they made a promise to God that they would do something, and a mark of that promise was letting their hair grow out until they accomplished it, which once accoplished they could cut their hair. Jesus was a Nazarene, not a Nazarite (He hadn't made such a promise), his hair would have been short. Had his hair been long, he would have been noticeable, and Judas would not have had to kiss him to mark him as Jesus.
Jesus was no hippy.

I thought I'd be happier by now . . .
Always before, whenever I've gotten drunk, I've been the happiest person on the earth. Not so much this time. I'm not sad or anything-- I'm just apathetic this time. I don't get it.

A Petition
Okay, I'm not really an American Idol[atry] fan. But I've heard Chris sing, and he's a lot better than the others. Tyler is still in because he appeals to the age 35+ women out there, and they don't want to lose him, he can't actually sing well. The chick is still in there because there's a whole lot of men that don't want to lose their eye-candy. The last guy, I don't know why he's still in it-- he just sucks . . .
anyway, go here to sign a petition to get Chris back onto the show.
