Random Thoughts

To all who read this blog I thought I'd add some funny things in since my last post wasn't quite so comical or anything. That, and thanks to some very time wasting widgets on my gmail account, I thought I'd share some of the things that popped up on there today

From the "Bonehead of the Day Award" widget
A New Bedford, Massachusetts, man decided to use a blow torch, hooked up to a 20-pound propane cylinder, to melt the ice on his back porch. What could possibly go wrong?It took 25 firefighters to put out his house, leaving $30,000 in damage. Yes, a bit pricey in the end, but it did work. There is no more ice on the back porch.

A Warren County, Tennessee, man decided to promote his fake id business by plastering his car with advertising which claimed that he can have a fake id "READY IN ... 10 MINUTES" which is about how long it took police to arrest him.

From the "Things to Ponder" widget
-Why do banks charge you a " non sufficient funds" fee on money they already know you don't have?
-If a stealth bomber crashes in a forest, will it make a sound?
-Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone is going to clean them?


So, hope you can read this and get a nice break from your day and laugh a bit. Also, starting today, I will add a quote everytime I blog that I find online that is interesting to me. It may or may not have anything to do with the blog at all but it's something I thought may add something to my already crazy blogs. Have a great day everybody

"Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. "-Brian Adams

  1. I love, love, love that quote! So much applicable wisdom in it. It really speaks to me because I always think that to be decisive, I have to live in the moment and decide as fast a possible, when really, waiting can yield much better answers/results.

    and of course the iGoogle widgets are hilarious as usual. I've got the "Things to Ponder" application too :D
