Sylar is Spock!?!?!

Nemoy Wrote "I am Not Spock"
Then felt bad and wrote "I am Spock"

I never got the opportunity to read those but then Zachary Quinto (who as already finished filming in the new Star Trek movie as the young Spock then played in Heroes Season 3 Chapter Eleven 'I Am Sylar'

Which is he? Is he Spock? Is he Sylar? Is Sylar an anagram or have more than one meaning? Did Spock wear a Sylar-like watch?

Maybe it was the eyebrows. I'm sure once Zach clear-cut that forest of a unibrow he would look a bit like Nemoy.

Either way, I can't wait to see the new movie when it comes out in May.  Here's to more Star Trek!!!

Before & After

I had a demo to go to the other day and I decided to clean up a little.  Of course, I had to shave, I looked worse than grizly Adams.

I buzzed my hair the day after this photo and that did wonders.  I hate having hair on my head.  Too sweaty, have to keep it clean... etc.

So, I decided to shave... and ended up shaving my stash, then under my lip and a little more than I intended... who am I kidding... I was just trying something new.

I had no idea that I'd be totally changing my look.  Where before I looked like a cross between a serial killer and an illustrator for childrens books, now I look like I belong on a Harley or some such thing.

I'm new. This should be cooler and far less scruffy looking.  Even better than just trimming and shaping what I had before.  

I'm not going to go into some stupid review of my own shaving.  That's your job.  So take a look and tell me what you think.

SSSssssss......

Sarah was named by Roberta, Scotty has my middle name. Saben was the only one I fought to be sure it started with "S". Simone was a pretty french name for a cat and came before Scotty. Seven was named by my mother and the kids wouldn't let it go.

Now we have a new member of the family and her name is Sasha.  Named by the original owners and hand picked by Scotty before he even new her name.

Sarah, Simone, Scotty, Saben, Seven & Sasha. Someone said that couldn't be coincidence... I don't know what they're talking about. :)

Anyway.  Sasha is a Black Labrador Retriever with a little Staffordshire Terrier thrown in for luck.  She's still only 8-9 weeks old so she isn't very active, but today she's tasted everything on the ground floor and managed to warn me before she crapped so I could get her outside.

The kids love her and over the past couple of days she's even managed to almost win my mothers heart.

My New Hero!

A short list of poeple I admire includes an athelete, a couple of comedians a metal artist that tought birds to fly and, a crazy old man who bought an apple computer and hitchhiked across the U.S. a few times with a guitar.

Thanks to this article that my sister Lesley has forwarded to me, I can now add Yuppy adventurer/childrens story teller to the list.

David de Rothschild is building a 60' catamaran entirely from reused and recycled water bottles, then he's sailing it from San Francisco California to Sydney Australia, and he's blaming Canadians.

I'll take the blame, no problem.  I want to crew on THAT BOAT! I may not have the knowledge to help build it but I can sure get behind the idea, I think it was MY idea.  Anyway, read up on the story and let me know what you think.

Recycling really floats his boat - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090403.wlplastiki03/EmailBNStory/lifeMain/

The Pastor's Ass

Aunt Catherine does it again!

as follows:

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.  The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE. 

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is:  Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten one's  life. 

So be yourself and enjoy life.

Have a nice day!

Thanks Catherine!

THE EARTH IS TILTING!!!

I'm always one to look for ways to make free energy.  You know me... if I can get away with anything for free I'll do it. :)  I'm looking through mininova for some manuals and things when I come across a file called "Magnetic Energy - Free Energy.pdf"

I look into it.

So here's this crazy guy talking about how our current uses of energy and chemicals is causing a HUGE imbalance in our ionosphere... I'm tempted to believe him. But he's crazy.  So I leave it up to you.  Try torrenting this pdf and if you have a head for numbers, you should be able to understand what he's talking about because I don't.  I'll try the devices out if they don't cost too much to make but I won't ever understand the formula he's ranting about.  Also, how can he be sure that electricity won't work after a polar shift?

ps don't get weirded out when he says Jupiter is the center of the solar system. :)
