CURRENT STATUS11/01/09
New Stuff to Look this week for those who are interested in:
Swine Flu Scams, Hulda Clark died of cancer, The Physics of Homeopathy(?!?), Scientology Trouble, More Cancer Quakery, Mad Scientists topics are being discussed in The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe website - here is the #223 PODCAST issue. Know the truth, listen now.
TV series I'm religiously following this season: The Office, StarGate: Universe, CSI: Las Vegas, House MD, Doll House(not really suggested ...)
I would like to share this beautiful Greek poem, "ITHACA" . This poem is shared to me by my husband, whom after watching "UP" by PIXAR, is reminded of it.
Ithaca
As you set out for Ithaka
hope the voyage is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them:
you’ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope the voyage is a long one.
May there be many a summer morning when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors seen for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind—
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you are destined for.
But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you are old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you would not have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

[my own thoughts, no matter how silly they may be ]
{
in movies & etc } :: watched
UP! and it is my #1 animated movie as of the moment. the next one would be Studio Ghibli film and films. ^^ :i: get into the events in the movie especially in the 1st chapter of the life of the main character. and because my current status in life (married) and have worked with elderly people before, this movie made me more emotional. who will not understand more about the value of life and marriage other than people who are in-love and married?
the final message would be:
"when you are trying to reach your goals, do not forget to enjoy the moments that happen in between." again, PIXAR made a very memorable movie. thank you PIXAR studio!

*Copyright Issues*
Get out of my site if you are thinking I'm copying someone else's design and blog ideas. I'm a hypocrite myself because we all wired to be, but I'm definitely not the right person for you to start messing with in terms of ONLINE COPYRIGHT issues. I'll torture you mentally as long as you are in imeem if ever i catch you talking about such topics concerning me. Know why? I'll slam to your face what's "copyright-ing" and you might never know you are doing it, too. The similarities in the blog ideas and artworks can be seen everywhere. And it is a very serious matter if you are going to start it with me because that means you have never encounter this information: xxx.Fair Use Clause Copyright Issues .xxx
People can grab anything from my site as long as not imitate me as "ME" and claim my "modified works" as theirs; no one is screwed. I have no rights to keep the pictures to myself only, because in the first hand, they aren't made by myself. Thank you to "Heise's Arts" because I am more inspired to make themes and cards when it comes to her art. I am not selling anything here so I comply to the non-infringement issue. The photoshop brushes are free ; so as textures. SO I am a COPYCAT basically, but to what extent? I don't have any problems admitting this, will you admit too?
PEACE!!!
