Pickup Peccatum
Saw this truck the other day. Is there a time when a paint job becomes
morally wrong?

Cars Make Faces
Car s have always looked like people to me. The eyes are the headlights, and
the nose and mouth are located in the front grill. 
Some c ars have really square faces, and I equate them to men; the ones with
the smooth rounded faces are lady cars. I suppose I have a juvenile
imagination, because it brings me great pleasure to identify the face a car
is making.

Black And Blue -Berry?
I'm a user and a fan, but I often feel strongly drawn to competitors myself.
It's going to be an interesting next 18 months for RI M.
Another Plum 350Z!
Driving through South Surrey the other day, saw another Plum 350Z. They're
multiplying!
PETA Power?
I can't stand when people leave animals in the car. Why take your pet on a
ride if you don't intend on letting him enjoy the destination? There's
something to be said about a PETA member who would act so cruel to their
personal animal; it's a little more than hypocrisy, in my opinion.

6 Year Old
Our thoughts and prayers are with the little fellow here in Maple Ridge who
fell from the 2nd storey window yesterday.

Neo-Soulisms
Although not indigenous to my area, I would say that neo-soul music is my
favorite genre. the smooth
sounds of acoustic guitars and
crooning stars remind me of the
melodic hum that my mother used when putting me to bed as a child. The soul
of an artist comes out in neo-soul music, and its
easier to enjoy the music
when you can tell that it was created for enjoyment.

Game Time
My favorite thing to do when I'm extremely bored is play video games. I
really love thrill of a well written video game; you can tell that an
artist, writer, and dreamer was hard at work when
you encounter a well-made game. I
aspire to one day make a game that encompasses my creativity. =

Nationalist Meme
How are we to move along as a people if we reject the things that propel us to action? The dumb
overshadow the wise, and in this current state of hyper-conformity, there looks
to be no real movement to action. What is a leader to do when
she knows her flock won't follow?

Vancouver Girl
Having a girl in Vancouver is tough. It seems like the
attitudes of young women have changed dramatically since I was a girl, and given
the
things that are shown on TV and movies
nowadays, it does not surprise me that more and more young girls are becoming pregnant at
earlier ages. What's a mother to do, when she's done all she can to help her
daughter understand the ills of society?

Cerebral Sizeistry
Evolutionary futurism, especially in a science-fiction context, concerns
itself greatly with cerebral hypertrophy.

Best of YouTube
I don't watch as many movies as I used to. Largely because I'm less often
up for a 90-120+ minute commitment. Too lazy. I watch a lot of TV, especially PVRed or acquired from the netosphere.
Discovery Channel, History Channel, Food Network. Aqua Teen.

Hidden Powers of Rain
Rain is the cure for life's
ailments; in the rain
your tears are guarded, and in
its noise your cries are not heard. Instead of loathing the rain today, I will embrace it for
its healing powers. _ I'm a mother, blogger, and fashion expert who enjoys ethnic dining and

Composting and You
Recycling is not only good for the environment, it is good for your soil;
composting is a great way to keep your gardens growing healthy and strong.
Remember to preserve all of your old food waste to add to your garden today!

Is It?
Is it secret? Is it safe? Gandalf wanted to know.
Most of the time we only care about safety. Secrecy isn't so crucial.Rain-spiration
I get my best inspiration from rain; it seems as if I could write for hours as the rain beats
rhythmically against my windowpane.
What a soothing way to end the day. - -

Chocolate Rain
I love to embrace my husband when its raining. Thunder and lighting brings a
surge to our relationship, and ignites a spark in our hearts. After looking
at the forecast, I noticed that it is going to rain for quite some time; I
couldn't be happier.

Small Girl, Big Truck
I've always wanted a big, overbearing truck. It's something about a petite
woman driving a big truck that screams "get out of the way!" In my life,
people tend to overlook me because of my size; with my new big truck, I can
now let everyone know who I am!

Speaking Of Head Gashes
A blown head gasket is bad, but a head gash is just plain painful. A fitness training client this morning told me about his 22 month old son who decided to bounce on mom & dad's bed. Then he decided to jump off. He bashed his noggin on the corner of dad's bedside table. Fortunately big sister (Kindergarten) called for help, noting "there's blood!" Poor little gaffer had 6 stitches on the outside and another several on the inside; the gash was down to the skull!
I suggest banning bedside tables. Maybe beds, too.

An Unexpected Scar
A car sales showroom. A 68 Chevelle, hood open to expose the rebored 454 with nitrous system. A salesperson distracted by conversation. An artificial plant and a narrow path. A rapid walk. These factors combined together when the salesperson bashed his head against the corner of the open hood, producing a 2-inch gash in his forehead. A gusher.
Safety can fail at any time. Fortunately there was gauze. And co-workers to help.

This Is What Safety Means To Us
The backlash against overprotectiveness in our culture is on! We all want to be safe, but more and more of us are unwilling to accept that safety is equivalent to eliminating all conceivable risk or responsibility. The emerging concept of safety includes common sense, living defensively, and embracing risk which is actually statistically insignificant.
