Today I've been reading

I know my blog space is title, "John's Been Thinking," but today I'd like to share what I read in the upper room. In reference to having a birthday. (especially those that end in a zero)

Who I am, who I have become at this point in my life, is a gift from God. My life is a multidimensional, colorful, patchwork of experiences and encounters, mistakes and growth spurts. I would not change them (even if I could) because they have made me who I am. God has used all of these things -- the good and the not-so-good -- to weave the tapestry that is me.

How do they do it?

I was watching a movie. At the beginning it said, "This movie has been modified to fit your screen."
How do they know what size my screen is?

New Movie - DeJa Vu

Denzel Washington is an excellent actor. His new movie coming out is called, "Deja Vu." Do I smell a sequel? It would have to be, "Deja Vu All Over Again."

Poor taste in words

It barely was noticed (I immagine) by most people, but it really rubbed me the wrong way.
In a 2004 episode of Judging Amy, which is written by Amy Brenneman, and Bill D'Elia, Amy's mother (played by Tyne Daley) invited her friend (played by Cheech Marin) to go country dancing.
Cheech Marin asked, "You want me to go white trash dancing?" This is totally unacceptable.

Still picture tells all

From this picture we can see how Yadier Molina can pick-off runners so easily!!

Mystery solved

According to Juren Ziesmann, who has dedicated an entire webpage to the subject, Cobwebs are actually made by spiders. Evidently the difference between a spider web and a cobweb is that a cobweb has been vacated by the spider. To get more information on the subject, (if you're still on the edge of your seat) go to: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/may97/859695397.Zo.r.html and read all about it.

Mother Nature's funny

I've seen spiders make spiderwebs, but I've never seen a cob make a cobweb. Maybe I should pull out the couch, and sit and watch the corner for awhile.

Va Tech Shootings

These shootings actually accomplishes NOTHING. If you're thinking about doing this....STOP! and seek help.
This is published with the hope of reaching one person. If you're that person, I'm trying to help you. It's never good to hurt people.

Overpriced Drugs

Okay, let me see if I've got this straight: The drug companies hire lobbiests, to go to Washington and get higher prices for drugs, so they can afford to hire more lobbiests. Does that just about cover it?

Politicians and Money

I don't think there's anybody in Washington that should be handling our money. It makes me really uncomfortable trusting our money to people who are perfectly happy paying $100 to $1000 per plate for food.

Batteries

Why are there no B, BB, nor BBB size batteries?

Income tax is unconstitutional

We all know the highest percent of tax is paid by the middle class. Since there are no middle class politicians, this is taxation without representation.
