"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink."

– George Orwell

I have no idea why the listed the top one first, but it’s still a pretty crazy list.  Some of these conditions are borderline super-powers if you ask me.  I wonder where we could be if we could extract these peoples’ genes…  http://www.oddee.com/item_96473.aspx

Public enemy or one of those early 90s gangster rap groups should have done a song called ‘kuf’d from behind’ and talked about cops and sexual assault.  I don’t know if the FCC would catch on to the pun of ‘kuf’d’ or not.  I thought about this on my run today.  Welcome to the inner workings of my brain; scary, isn’t it?

so Friday5.org puts out 5 questions every friday for bloggers to answer, so I think i’ll play along.

  – I try to use rechargable batteries where i can, but I’ve used a few AA in my wireless keyboard and mouse from time to time.

  – My sister gave me her old eliptical machine that needed some sort of belt replaced, but I was too lazy to fix it.

 – I’m at my desk at work, I have some spare printouts from meetings that i won’t use again…

  – I don’t even know what that is…plastic knives??

– Well, Erik filled the dishwasher with hand soap earlier this week, and i found out the hard way and had to clean that up.  I’m also driving to philly and back to see Kallie and Tim, so that would be 10 hours of driving i normally wouldn’t do.

It’s crazy how emotional i am.  I get deeply affected by how I feel and it shows in everything I do.  If I’m sad, my eyes are heavy, i have no "pep" as my pap-pap used to say, and just a general sense of malaise.  I try to tie it to my diet, but that doesn’t work.  I try to tie to it my sleeping schedule, and that doesn’t explain it.  It really is just emotions.  I wish my grass were emo, so it would cut itself.

Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac die 1 day apart and they’re working on the same movie, Soul Men.  That’s pretty whacky, right?  I never really cared for Bernie Mac…at all, but that’s farely nuts, I think.  Seems to be an occuring theme for movie stars to die while in production.  New form of marketing?
