Sup?

Some things:

1. I’ve been working on another website. I find when I do that, I tend to disapper because I’m so immersed. Incidentally, the website is mygratitudes.net. There’s nothing up yet but junk and filler, but I’m having fun working away on the site design. I’m enjoying learning more about CSS, WordPress, and HTML. If there were some local classes, I’d probably be interested in taking one. I’d like to learn more about design itself, not just website design. Stuff like layout, typography, and the like. I’ve tried reading up about that sort of thing online, but I don’t really -see- what people are talking about. I think I need someone to tell me and show me.

2. Today I was looking up examples of arguments for pro-choice and pro-life positions to bring to class. I googled “pro-choice+arguments” and got an astounding number of hits that were Christian, anti-choice [...]

Daniel Striped Tiger

By ~LS~ On September 8, 2009 · Add Comment · In Generations, Pop Culture, Random Musings and tagged Tagged With: Generations, Television

Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood has always been special to me. As a kid I watched it all the time. When the show moved to PBS, which is when I was introduced to it, I was older than the target audience, but I loved it anyway. I started watching it again after I went through treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse. People in AA meetings encouraged it because the show promotes all kinds of affirming, feel-good life lessons that alcoholics need to hear and practice. I continued to watch it irregularly until it was taken off the air a few years ago. It always made me feel better regardless of what was going on in my life.

My all-time favorite character on Mr. Rogers is Daniel Striped Tiger. It still amazes me that Rogers voiced both the shy, shy Daniel and the pompous King Friday. One thing I really like [...]

Time isn’t holding up – My obsession with aging

By ~LS~ On August 25, 2009 · 2 Comments · In Random Musings and tagged Tagged With: Age

Ever since my return from Florida a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been hit with a wave of nostalgia. It’s made me reflect on my life and I’ve realized how much I’ve changed in the past fifteen years, some for good and some for bad. What I’ve noticed mostly, though, is that I’m obsessed with growing old. Not in an “OMG I have wrinkles” sort of way. It’s actually hard to explain the exact nature of my obsession, though. I never thought I’d live past 30. I had a deep-seated belief that I would die before then. I was shocked when that birthday came and went uneventfully. I know, I know, getting old is so far fetched to someone in their 20s. Today, though, it’s all I can think about. Given my doubts about my own existence, I should feel grateful that I’m even alive. Far too frequently, I feel [...]

Bizarre Twist on Nigerian Scam

By ~LS~ On June 15, 2009 · Add Comment · In Random Musings, The Web and tagged Tagged With: Nigerian Scam, Weird Stuff

I don’t really know why I’m so fascinated by Nigerian Scams. But I am. I got a bizarre one today. I’m sure it’s been around for a while, but this is the first time I’ve received one like it. It’s the moneygram scam.

John Atkins emailed me (from a gmail account) telling me he’s sending me part of my money via moneygram. He gave me the reference code and the answer to the secret question. (I will share it with you so you have it too. It’s “green.”) Then the email says you can’t contact him at his email account, but if you have questions, write to this AOL account.

This is a very bizarre twist. I mean, do people really fall for this? Yep. For instance, some county treasurer in Michigan actually embezzled money from the county because he fell victim to one of the scams. How stupid [...]
