Random Thoughts

[Mr. Brightside]

Thought I would create a thread for everybody's random ramblings, (try saying that after a few whiskeys) Of which I have decided I have too many ,

Sooooooooooo

Pirates, in the 21st Century



PIRATES have seized the biggest booty ever taken on the high seas, capturing a fully-laden Saudi oil supertanker and its multinational crew, among them two British merchant seamen. The Sirius Star - three times the size of an aircraft carrier and carrying its full complement of two million barrels of crude oil worth at least $US100 million ($154 million) - was hijacked in the early hours of Sunday 450 nautical miles southeast of Mombasa in Kenya, according to the US Fifth Fleet.

"This is unprecedented," Lieutenant Nathan Christensen, spokesman for the fleet said yesterday. "It's the largest ship that we've seen pirated."

wow apparently piracy is pretty common in the Caribbean and off the coast of Africa, scary stuff.

I see so many people in the town were I live drinking these so called energy drinks, full of sugar and caffeine with big macho name names like Atomic, Rockstar, Red Bull.. Surely these drinks are not good for you, I worked with a lad who used to stay up late on a night and the next day drink 2 or 3 of these drinks to keep going I seen a mother today in a shop with her child buying a 6 pack of them. She was more hyper than her child,

Speaking of Pirates....*but in a silly context*.....

Did you know that there is an "International Talk Like a Pirate Day!" website...

*She thinks to herself...hmm, now I've mentioned it...I ought to find the website, I am talking about and post it later!*

Anyway, Piracy has been around for centuries...and is actually quite bad in the Southern Asian Seas and the South Pacific as well!!

I just found out two weeks ago: My mum has teh breast cancer.

It's stage 2 thankfully. She was going to forgo her mammogram this year but thought better of it. The one last year didn't catch it. She having surgery soon to remove it and/or her whole breast on June 9th-ish.

A pessimist sees the the glass as half empty; an optimist sees it as half full; a realist wonders what the hell the other two are staring at and drinks the beer. --Me.

In other words, grab life by the horns, and actually see how it turns out, for if all you do is ponder it you will never know the outcome.

EXCELLENT!!! Love the conviction behind that! *Boy!* I really needed to read that! and

Last year while I was playing around in my 'pet-project' aka my flower garden; gave me a really good start on getting my flower garden prepared for this years planting endeavours!

I have been given a number of beautiful plants and have purchased a few myself ... native poppies (yellow), foxglove (pale yellow), poppies (red), native daisies (white), bleeding heart (pink n white), chinese lantern (orange), columbine (deep purple), lilies (reds/yellows/oranges), irises (all colours) ... etc (a few more I can't remember at the moment)

Anyway, what I find strange is (which only occurred to me today) and this is totally unintentional, is that ... practically every plant I have purchased thus far into the season, they are all purple in colour .... why is that?

Maybe it's my artistic subconscious ... saying to me "Well, if you really want to paint with plants; your garden needs colour balance!"

Does that sound right to you guys ... ?

My thoughts are wishing your mom the best Christopher. I am sure everything will work out friend. Keep your head up.

Possibly because every plant that has been given to you is a shade of yellow, so you are subconciously trying to balance it out with the purple.

I've been needing to plant something in the small flower bed around my mail box post-- it was a gorgeous display of huge, double yellow/white daffodils and black (actually very dark purple) tulips this March, but they've more than fizzled out here lately to the point of looking tacky.

[edit]
haha. I have the purple/yellow theme going on at my house, too. Do you have some Cajun in you, too? Purple, gold and green are the colors of Cajun Nation.

Glad I could inspire.

And thanks to ALL for your thoughts and prayers for my mom. She is going in for mammogram/sonogram/bone scan/surgical consultation on June 15th and 16th. She canceled the June 9th surgery to get int UAB Medical Center (University of Alabama, Birmingham)-- top 20 in the Nation, so it postponed it, but she is going to a much better place now.
