Birthdays mean...

... horoscopes!

So here's what Holiday Mathis has to say to about those born on Feb. 25:

You get that wonderful "click" with someone new in March -- this partnership will take you places. Higher learning is featured in the spring. It may be costly, but you'll never be sorry as your income will eventually reflect this effort. Dreamy travel is featured in July and November. Your relationship with Cancer and Libra people is sensational.

Now I'm looking forward to March and July!

And here's what a Chinese horoscope book has pegged for me this year:

Although in this year the Tiger is protected from serious danger, he must work hard for his success and will feel tired and unfulfilled from having to assume too much responsibility. Still, the Dog guards the Tiger from controversy as well as from his own inclinations to act on impulse. Luck will continue to help the Tiger as he steers his plans through with the help of influential people who like and support him. However, the Tiger should be careful not to take on more than he can handle.

Sounds like a tough time. Lots of work. Apparently next year I have to try to not spend to much money, and I need to buy insurance. Man, I don't remember Chinese horoscopes being so boring!

Gouranga

Have you ever gotten a spam so strange that you felt compelled to keep it? Apparently I have - twice! I was deleting messages in my inbox and found ones called 'Gouranga' and 'Gouranga hey' that were sent to me on February 25 and June 9 last year from the same e-mail address. I'm betting I kept the first one because it came on my birthday! Here's what the message said:

Call out Gouranga be happy!!!
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ....
That which brings the highest happiness!!

So I did a quick Google search and found out what the heck this was all about. Apparently Gouranga was someone of importance to Hare Krishnas. So I guess this is the Hare Krishna e-mail version of Jehova's Witnesses coming to your door or something...

• Wikipedia entry about Gouranga
• Who the heck was Gouranga?
• Gouranga Spam info
• Gouranga Definitions submitted to the Urban Dictionary

OMG!! This is the funniest thing ever!

How would you be defined in the dictionary? This is how I would be:

David Elsewhere

... such a cool-looking guy. You may have seen him in this Golf GTI commercial. Here is some more video footage of him:

• Here he is five years ago
• And a couple years later
  
• Even cool without music
  

So cool. He looks like he must be the most relaxed person ever!

Today's mantra...

I am smart. I am competent. I am confident.


(heh, I wrote 'spart' the first time!)

Opposing the teaching of Intelligent Design

I found a humourous site someone created to point out the absurdity of 'Intelligent Design,'

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Here's a quote I particularly enjoy:

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.
