Random Thoughts of the Day

Okay, so I have been a little lax on the random questions. I'm sorry but I was distracted by shoes and how to get said shoes.

Today's random thought has a little back story. So I'm on the desk, chillin' (working really hard, is what I meant to say) when a nice lady comes up to me and says: I typed in the address that I want to go to but my page won't change. I asked: Did you hit enter? She said, What's that? So I go over and I hit enter and the page changes. She looks at me and says, Wow I would never have thought of that. (No, I'm not making this up.)

Which leads me to today's random thought: Which came first the chicken or the egg?

What does that have to do with the story? Nothing, it was just a good story.

(I bet they are wishing that they did ask me to blog)

Random Shoe News

Those of you who know me, know that I love, love, love shoes!!!! More than anything in the world, I will forgo eating to buy shoes. Which leads me to today's post.

I want these shoes...true they are $260.00 but I need them.

So, I will forgo eating for the next month so I can buy them...unless you don't want me to starve and are willing to give to those (me) in need of shoes.

(That was a joke, I don't want comments about it, the donating money part that is. However, I will buy them so when you see me looking 10 pounds lighter and I have on killer shoes you know why) You have been warned!!!

Cool site

For those of us who like to define their our words or keep up with the latest trends turn your attention to www.urbandictionary.com . It's been around since 1999 and it is user centered. Put in any word and you'll get many different definitions. Some are funny, some are serious/true and some are just plain stupid. The interesting part is that these definitions come from all over the world.

For example I put in library, here are some of the definitions:


1.
library

A place to borrow books for free. It is not pronounced "lie-berry"

"Hey, I am going to the lie-berry!" "You're pretty retarded"

An awesome place that is underrated in today's society. Think about it - where else can you chill in an air-conditioned place, that's quiet, where you can read a cool mag or surf the net, where you can take a nap, check out movies, meet some friends for a game of chess or cards, read about whatever you like, get free bookmarks, talk to some fine librarians, walk around aimlessly, find out how glow-in-the-dark works..... and all for free!

Dude 1: "Man, it's hot and humid outside. There's nothing to do in here. Dang I'm bored." Dude 2: "How about we go to the library?" Dude 1: "Man that sounds boring." Dude 2: "Seriously, just try it. I'll show you some cool stuff over there." Dude 1: "OK... we'll see." ..............1 month later Dude 1: "Hey man let's go to the library. Come on man get up." Dude 2: "But we just came back from there 2 hours ago." Dude 1: "Dude, that's a long time!"

The Center area of gloves or mittens where your fingers can meet to warm up especially when outside in the winter. This definition comes from the movie "The Day after tomorrow" when the cold comes and the group of new yorkers go into the library to stay warm.

Rebecca: Hey Zack, I am going to go to the Library. Zack: I know what you mean; my hands are freezing too.

From CNN Assignment Editor Lauren Kornreich

A week after a woman was brutally attacked by a friend’s chimpanzee, a House committee moved to prohibit humans from keeping primates as pets.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – A week after a woman was brutally attacked by a friend’s chimpanzee, a House committee moved to prohibit humans from keeping primates as pets.
Rep. Nick Rahall, chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources, requested action Monday on legislation to prohibit people from buying or transporting primates across state lines as pets. The West Virginia Democrat warned that primates are too dangerous to be kept as pets.
“Images of Curious George and Koko may lead us to believe that these creatures are cuddly and harmless, but last week’s tragedy and other similar attacks stand as evidence that this is not the case, that they are in fact wild animals, and they simply must not be kept as pets,” Rahall said in a statement.
The Captive Primate Safety act would modify the Lacy Act amendments, which were passed in 1981 and only included a ban on buying or transporting fish and wildlife across state lines to keep as pets, by adding primates to that list. The legislation is expected to go to the House floor for debate this afternoon.
Roughly a dozen Americans were attacked by primates in 2008, according to the Humane Society.

I can't get that trained monkey to do storytime?

Please, don't leave me comments about how offended you were and blah, blah, blah. No, I'm not comparing anyone to a monkey.

Random Thoughts for the Day

Today I have a couple of random thoughts, let's begin with the weekend.

On Saturday, I went to see Madea Goes to Jail...funny, almost peed on my self funny. (Okay that was TMI). Of course, most of the people were black with a sprinkling of different races here and there. Now, I understand the appeal to most black people we know someone like Madea. For me she reminds me of my Aunt Amanda. She even had the same glasses but instead of a gun she carried a hammer and nails. Don't ask because I don't know why. My question is: Why does "she" (and I use that term loosely) appeal to so many other races?

Now, for today's random thought: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

In the words of Madea: Hallelujer!!

Random thought for the day

As the title suggests I will ask silly random questions.

Why is it called Rhode Island, when it's neither a road nor an island?

HAHAHAHA

I'm so funny.

Week # 2 -Blogs

This week's topic is blogging. I already know about blogging since I do blog personally, I also read other people's blogs and I follow a couple of them religiously.

So creating this blog shouldn't be a problem for you, right? That's the question that some might ask. But, you would be wrong. Why?

The problem with requiring everyone to create a new blog, if they already have one, is that they have to use a different email account for each. Let me explain, we have a blog for the staff here at the branch, I use my work email to sign in to that one. I have my own personal blog I use one of my personal email accounts to sign in to that one. So, to make this blog I had to use a third email account.

Why?

To keep everything separate because my private life and my work life are two different and separate lives. As well as they should be. Now it is just one more password and account for me to have to keep track of. Oh, and one more blog that I have to create entries for. Oh sure, I could have used the work email and blog for this "assignment" but do you all want to know what we talk about here?

All this is to say, knowing about the technology and the current treads is a good thing. In this profession staying up on current trends helps you relate better to those who you serve.

So while I learned nothing new from this week's lesson, you can learn something new from me.

No one says "bling" anymore; it went the way of high button shoes.

So much for keeping up with the trends, huh?
