True dat. :blink: In other news, I woke up hungry. |
I had my skull xrayed today. It is a gorgeous skull, it turns out. This has decided the cremation question for me. Burial it is! This beaut should stick around.
Seeing one's own skull is like time travel - in a hundred years, that's what this face will be. It's like previewing one's own death and seeing how terrible and beautiful it will be. We really aren't so different than hermit crabs - living for a time inside a shell of sorts, then leaving it behind. |
There's a strange joke stuck in my head....
Instead of a song... Jesus and St. Paul are enjoyin the Celestial Choir, when an elderly gentleman shows up, slightly confused. Paul asks his name and he shrugs, Jesus gets curious and asks maybe he could jog his memory... Older Guy "Well, I remember fish, I have a son, and I'm a Carpenter, I think...." Jesus quickly hugs him sayin' "FATHER!!!!" Older Guy : "Pinocchio !!!" My ex {who's now a Discalced Carmelite nun *thank you FaceBook*} told me this once... :mohawk: |
This tacobell craving is getting out of control...Imma make a run to the border.

A fun little fact to go with that ti-bet, the county where Paramus is located, Bergen, enforces "The Blue Law", no clothing or home good sales permitted on Sunday. All these Malls and you can't even shop on Sunday's! (Which is fine by me. I'd rather have my finger nails pulled out then to go shopping.) Thank you Lady {{{{{{{{Pamela}}}}}}}} for posting this! |
