Match Game

the stony cliff


his gait doth advise;


I wonder if


My friend


doth surmise...


my aim


Slash slash


he lurches


fearlessly;


Stonily I brace


myself


For a


cold blow


Wondering if


My cavorting dance


and forethought


will warm my aim


and shorten


my reach?


Or will he dance before


Freezing my blows?


and hasten


my retreat?

Housecleaning : Or What Rock Stars Don't Do!


(John made me do it! Lol!)


I really don't like vaccum cleaners! I mean; give me a break! They sound like you are inside of some body's airplane engine; trying to catch your breath! whew!


And then there's that fun moment when you get to empty that sucker into the trash! Yikes!


It's nasty, dirty, unfun; did I mentin deafening?


And if that's not enough of an insult to your senses, how about dragging that thing around your place?


Yuckers!


It's your turn what do you dislike doing at home?

Artificial Intelligence Now a Part of our Video Games


Now when people play most games they will enounter the other robotic side using strategy to "outfox" them!


Now the game will be sizing up where the player's character is and what things can be done to outpace him!


Wow!


How do you feel about these new challenges?


Does anyone want to describe it?

Terror hits Toronto

the Economist


June 10 - 16, 2006


Police charged 12 men with planning to blow up the Toronto Stack Exchange and the parliament buildings in Ottowa and beheading the prime minister of Canada,


 Mr. Stephen Harper this month.


Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a stiring speech. He said that Canada will continue its' multiculturism stance. He said that the arrest of these men and what they had planned reminds everyonethat terrorism is real. Harper pointed out that people who use symbols of faith to justify violence hate open and democratic societies.


Fortuantely no one was injured.


Anyone can leave comments to support the people of Canada who are against this tirade.


My heart goes out to all people ni Canada who wanted nothing but to have their free multicultural society.

World Cup Soccer


Okay here is how it looks:


Germany beat Ecuador 3-0 for Group A,


England beat Sweden to win Group B.


England got a scre becasue their striker , Michael Owen went down for the count. He has to have knee surgery.


Germany looked good against Ecuador. Germany and Sweden will fight again on Saturday.


We still have other divisions to play before Saturday.


Paulo Falco is quoted as saying that Brazil hs not been playing as well as expected.


Ghana , Italy and Czech Republic are doing well.


Us and The Netherlands are still in consideration.


The Economist doesn't think that the US cares enough about soccer but I don't think that they are right in this assumption.


They also wrote an article which points out that the World Cup is better than the P;ympics because it si not based around politics. On this I agree.


What do you think about the World Cup games?

June 15


The Gates Foundation is a wonderful charity worldwide and involves all sorts of help for people such as : medicine, hospital supplies, bringing education to the bush and helping education expand in the US.


I was thrilled that although the Gates will still be at the helm of Intel they are freeing up  a lot more time in their schedule to visit more countries and to help more people! It is awesome news!


What do you think?

Sometimes One Parent Does All


Sometimes one parent has to raise the kids and run the family on their own... sigh.. I have  great respect for these parents. Society asks so much from them and they attempt to fulfill it!


It must be brutal when it is so hard ot raise kids without much help nowadays to do it without any help as a single parent or adoptive parent. So let's reach out and help these parents when we can!


And for my part, Bravo! Happy Mothers and Fathers Day to you!thanks for honoring and loving yuor children so much!


P.S. We do have such heroes here in JLand! I know one here. Her name is Sugar; Sugarsweet056.


Bravo Sugar!

The Summer's Harvest A Summer Tale

The Summer's Harvest A Symbolic Tale


Introduction- This is a story about the summer and what it can mean in a life.


Leela walked over to her grandfather.


"Grandpa can we talk over there?"


She pointed to their favorite spot next to the woods.


"Sure baby!"


Grandfather smiled at his granddaughter.


They walked for awhile until they reached the boulders next to the woods.


"Do you want to sit Baby?"


"Sure Grandpa!


Grandpa what do you like about the summer?" Leela asked.


" The feast days and get togethers are fun. "


" Do you like the harvest days Grandpa?"


"Yep. It's important for all of us... not just for now but for the rest of the year."


"Why Grandpa?"
"You know that we bring in all of the good crops, right?"


"Right Grandpa."


"We also bring in the crops that are not so good. We think hard together and provide


suggestions to the group about what we can do next harvest to avoid that." 


"Okay.." she nodded; looking up to her grandfather.


"We also look at the preparation of the harvest. We ask ourselves basic questions;


Did we water the crops enough? Did we put enough manure down at the right time?


"Okay Grandpa." She shook her head.


"This prepares us better for the fall Leela.Every summer is different in effect because every summer has decidedly different factors to take into consideration.


"Then, when that's done we can chow down, get together with our families and Party Hardy!"


Grandpa grinned big and Leela hugged him close.

"Grandpa?'


"hi Baby."


"Grandpa? Whatcha' doing?"


" I'm taking a walk. Wanna' come along?"


"sure!"


"Grandpa do you like the summer?"


"Sure baby. Why?"
He saw Leela looking up at him wiht those big pleading brown eyes.


"um.. Grandpa, Billy and Susan are moving."


"Aww Baby... I'm sorry."


Leela's jaw tightened.


"it's okay Grandpa..But why does it happen like that?"


"That's becasue life is like a revolving door; you know? You go in with some good friends. Once inside, some freinds have to go ahead of yuo in line and leave you behind. A few can stay with you.


"But also Leela, some brand new freinds are likely to walk through the door too! And then you have new freinds too!"


Grandpa smiled at his granddaughter.


"The trick is to notice them and to spend time with them!'


He winked.


"Okay Grandpa!If you say so!" Leela said.
