_ Animals Are So Cool

Zoobooks

I thought the way animals keep time was very interesting. I always wondered if they knew what time it was or if they look forward to their owner coming home and how they know what time it is? For example, the number of laps they run or the bites they take. How interesting…The way they use their own behavior to determine time is really cool. Which is totally different from the way we tell time.

08 May 2009 _ LOL To Red Ford Expedition

This guy driving a red Ford Expedition got mad at me for telling him to back off when he was tailgating me on a 25mph road. He decided to follow me home to see where I live (I guess he wanted to egg my house?). Too bad he failed horribly when I juked him twice by getting him lost in my neighborhood and seeing him make 2 U-ies trying to find me (or the exit). Eric 1 – Bad Driver 0

…blows. They don’t care about their customers. All they care about is how much money you have and how they can steal it legally. I recently received an overdraft fee from my bank because LVAC took out my monthly payment when I had insufficient funds. I called the LVAC corporate office wondering if it was possible to get this transaction reversed so I could get my overdraft fee voided and the representative I talked with said, “No, you signed the contract to have us take $22 out of your bank account monthly.” What a whore… she said it like I was supposed to know I couldn’t get a refund for this one time. If I had known this then I wouldn’t have called in the first place. Plus I told her, “I was wondering if I could get this transaction reversed.” She didn’t even say sorry for the inconvenience which I would’ve appreciated even knowing I had to take all of this up the ass. I could tell she was a bitch Hispanic lady too by the way she spoke to me and I’m not saying I don’t like Hispanic people. I’m just saying her accent and tone of voice just made that phone call very unpleasant to me and now I think of her as a bitch.

03 May 2009 _ The Word “UP” Is A Funny Word

I was talking to Amanda on AIM and she sent me this:

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other two-letter word, and that is “UP.” It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we waken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
Now this UP is really confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk size dictionary, the word up, takes UP almost 1/4th the page and definitions add UP to about thirty.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it doesn’t rain for a while, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I’ll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so…. I’ll give UP and shut UP…..!

_ Last Night’s Dreams

I slept for 14 hours last night and had a very long dream so I decided to interpret it through dreammoods.com:

Brother
To see your brother in your dream, may symbolize some aspect of your relationship with him. It can also serve to remind you that someone in your waking life has certain characteristics/behavior similar to your brother’s.

Friend
To see friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to incorporate and acknowledge these rejected aspects of yourself. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news.

Girlfriend
To see your girlfriend in your dream, represents your waking relationship with her and how you feel about her.

Running
To dream that you are running with others, signifies festive and prosperous times.

Snow
To see snow in your dream, signifies your inhibitions, repressed/unexpressed emotions and feelings of frigidity. You need to release and express these emotions and inhibitions. You may also be feeling indifferent, alone and neglected. If the snow is melting, then it suggests that you are acknowledging and releasing emotions you have repressed. You are overcoming your fears and obstacles. If the snow is dirty, then it refers to a loss in innocence, impurity and uncleanness. Some aspect of yourself or situation has been tainted.
