I’m not sure which blows my mind more: the somewhat stodgy salesman with one of the most incredible opera voices I have ever heard, or the 6-year-old girl with unprecedented poise. No wonder it was so tight in that competition!

What They Don't Teach You In School

What They Don't Teach You In School:

Edison ‘failed’ more than ten thousand times before he succeeded in creating the light bulb. As said by Thomas Edison: “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.”

Here is my favorite failure story….

In 1832 he lost his job and was defeated for state legislature.
In 1833 he failed in business.
In 1835 his sweetheart died.
In 1836 he had a nervous breakdown.
In 1838 he was defeated for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In 1843 he was defeated for nomination for Congress.
In 1848 he lost renomination.
In 1849 he was rejected for land officer.
In 1854 he was defeated for U.S. Senate.
In 1856 he was defeated for nomination for Vice President.
In 1858 he was again defeated for U.S. Senate.
In 1860 he was elected President: Mr. Abraham Lincoln.

My motto is: fail as quickly as possible.

Me: I actually run across intelligent male profiles on here on a fairly regular basis, with minimal ferreting.
Me: So why do I feel like I'm one of the only intelligent pof women?
Him: It's because they are still in the "be nice and passive" stage...just a guess. You've seen some of the ones with the boob shots.
Him: Or they are in hiding...
Me: Jeez
Me: I hope they are all in hiding.
Me: I hate to think that the majority of womanhood has been reduced to boob shots and Martha Stewart.
Him: Shiver, shutter and duckies!! I do hope you are correct.

Random though it is, I’d like to extend a hearty “thank you” to whomever coined and popularized the notion of non-goal-oriented sex. Having a specific outcome in mind just seems stressful and counter-productive to simply enjoying intimacy with one’s partner.

Death by Veganism - OpEd:
Thank you. Some people wonder why I choose not to pursue veganism, and why I do not impose vegetarianism upon my children in effort to maintain consistency with my own eating habits. This is a perfect explanation of why.

Before I was a Mom…
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom…
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom…
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on. Spit on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night…

Before I was a Mom…
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom…
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom…
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom…
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

My friend Chris, and his band, tearing it down in a wonderful way. If you’re in the SoCal area, I highly recommend enjoying them live.
