Chuckle font joke
2Not much posting in here, I haven’t had clarity to think deeply on anything that i can post about here!
However, Shacknews community brought me some chuckles this afternoon so I thought I’d share.
A font walks into a bar. The bartender says “Hey, we don’t serve your type here.” and he called the Serif.
-How bold.
-He must be Italic
-this joke is very kerny.
-This is comic, sans the funny.
and one right after, perhaps not funny, perhaps more funny,
A cat walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender notes how ridiculous this is, because cats can not speak, nor are their thought processes complex enough to do even something as simple as ordering a drink at a bar.
The bartender wakes up and realizes it was all a dream. Grateful to be returned to a world that makes sense, he rolls over and tells his wife, but she does not share his enthusiasm.
Indeed, their 26-year marriage has begun to sour as of late. The bartender cries.
I so delicately piece it together.
what were they thinking
0I like the thought of some things, even if its kinda bizarre.
I saw a sign today on the street, it was a yellow diamond, one that might say “hidden driveway” or “sudden turn” … this one said “blind person”. But there was no blind person there? How do you have a sign for something that is mobile, the blind person could be everywhere? I don’t get it.
Then i found this on weburbanist (one of my favs)
This abandoned railroad in Abkhazia, Northern Siberia was built on Stalin’s orders in the middle of nowhere. Its original purpose is unclear. It was abandoned long before the collapse of the USSR, and has never been connected to any other Russian Federal Railway system. Rusting and in ruins, it’s now accessible only by helicopter.
Oh, don’t be an incorrigible eskimo pie with a caramel ribbon. (Newest episode of psych)

It's not easy to commit treason
0
If you were given a task that was not limited to physical skill or wealth, which would be the most difficult?
I might say that high treason would be that thing
(1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,
(a) kills or attempts to kill Her Majesty, or does her any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maims or wounds her, or imprisons or restrains her;
(b) levies war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto; or
(c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.
So how are you going to do this? Charge at the queen with a knife? I suppose its not impossible, you can track her down and go nuts if you want, but its pretty difficult, and lots of people would stop you, and be upset… how upset? well hanged drawn and quartered isn’t so fun. What does drawn and quartered mean? Well quartered means exactly that, to be cut into quarters. And drawn is too gross to write about. I sorta think traitorous women have it easy
“Murder is now generally considered the worst of crimes, but in the past, treason was thought of as worse. In English law high treason was punishable by being hanged, drawn and quartered (men) or burnt at the stake (women)”
Stop! High Treason! Someone catch and hang and draw and quarter that man!
If you ever get caught, Guy Fawkes had a good plan
Fawkes, however, cheated the hangman by jumping from the scaffold from which he was supposed to be hanged, breaking his neck before he could be drawn and quartered
One last side note about Benedict Arnold (American General who betrayed his country and sided with the British) Arnold was killed by gout and deliriumat a late age. I suppose not all traitors are hung! Some feisty canadians may have tried though.
Benedict Arnold pursued interests in the shipping trade in Canada from 1787 until 1791, when an angry mob overran the front lawn of his home, burning an effigy labeled “traitor”, and troops were required to disperse them
Forwards not backwards, and always twirling twirling
0I’d like to live life backwards. It would make a compelling movie. Oh wait, that’s only half true. Compelling yes, fun no.
I want to live like forwards, and I don’t really have much choice in that. But do you know why I want to live life forwards? Because if I know the climax, then whats the point of the rising action? Why would I even watch the movie? If you tell me who the mole is in mission impossible, half of the value is lost before it even starts.
Why do I want the answers if I haven’t gotten the questions yet? If I know that I will end up in Antarctica, what would keep me to try here? Maybe I would just leave too early, or consider everything until Antarctica a waste of time. I am glad I don’t know. I am glad I have to figure it out.
I have to meet lots of people before I find a wife. If I knew right away, maybe I wouldn’t meet these people.
If I knew how many jobs I would have, would I try as hard? Would I want to learn if I knew I wouldn’t use it? Would I want to impress someone if I knew there was nothing returned?
I like the challenge. I like the mystery. I like not knowing until I need to know. Thats my hope and my foundation. When it comes time to it, I can know, I will be prepared and I will succeed. I can’t triumph over everything right now. I can’t be a parent or husband, but I can be Sheridan of today, and I can prepare for tomorrow. I will triumph over tomorrow. The day after will be a new mystery and maybe I will learn something along the way, but until then I will just succeed, one step forwards at a time.
Superstar, have no fear
0On my myspace (ugh, dont like myspace) i picked this lupe fiasco song called superstar.
As an aside – Lupe Fiasco is fantastic. I think he might be my favorite rapper. Grade A material on both his CDs
Back to the song…
“if you are what you say you are, a super star, then have no fear, the camera’s here and the microphone and they wanna know”
to me is
“if you are what you say you are, a sheridan, then have no fear, people will see it and will test you”
Therefore, if people will test me for being Sheridan, then I will win if I don’t slide into being someone else. I like the comfort of having an identity that is good and purposeful. Sure I need to grow, and improve, but I am just required to learn to be a better Sheridan, I don’t have to be someone else. If I am Sheridan as best as I can, then I don’t need to worry about tests or critiques. God is the real test anyway. God made me Sheridan so He knows what I should be.
more from that song:
Want to believe my own hype but it’s too untrue
The world brought me to my knees
What have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design?
Did you do something new?
Ahh! Sheridan!
0I am on a new mission to be true to Sheridan. Be who I want to be.
I totally blew it today.
There was an attractive girl taking groceries on the way home, three bags in each hand she was struggling. I was walking in a similar direction, it seemed like it could have been on my way but I was walking with a coworker. I think to myself, hmm, I should have asked if I could help. But I didn’t. I turned around when I thought this and I saw her struggling, she had to put one set of bags on the ground. Do I need any bigger flashing lights to help? Apparently I did because I kept on walking.
Ugh, I wish I was the Sheridan who would dare to care instead of the one who just thinks he would without doing anything about it.
Neato Salt Waves!
0If only this was the secret to everything. It is a pretty neat secret to nothing though. Well probably something, but I’m not going to find this useful other than entertaining and ‘oooh’ factor for the 2 minute video. Turn your audio down, its annoyingly high pitched
