Two knights and a sleeping puppy

So, I was bored during lunch and thought about a couple things. Well, one thing in particular. For the longest time I've heard a lot of girls say they want their "knight in shining armor" but want one like Lancelot. Hate to burst yalls' bubble, but Lancelot was a bit of a jerk way back in the day. Yeah, he did have a bunch of good fights and earned the nickname "Lancelot the Brave" and all but look at what he did off of the battle field.
  • Lied repeatedly to Arthur
  • Made plenty of moves on Guinevire (Arthur's love)
  • Eventually succeeded at Bullet #2
  • Partied over and over

Now, does this sound like a guy that a lot of girls really want? I mean, if you're into guys who party, are vulgar, lie to your face, and do things with your friends then go ahead. Personally, I think a lot of girls should look for a Ghallahad (sp?). He was nicknamed "the pure" for good reason folks. He was one of the few (if not the only one) who was documented as a strong Christian that kept to his morals and did not defile women, which a lot of "knights" did back then.

In other non-rambling/venting-news, today I got to play babysitter again for our puppy. It's a fun experience but really challenging since I have to learn to be calm and not "fly off the handle." Work is really fun when you're trying to talk on the phone and she's about to start barking at her squeaky toy for no reason. So, today, my puppy is what made me smile. Just for being the random crazy ball of fluff she is

So, respond with what made you smile today. Also, if you want, tell me what you think about my "knight" idea.

  1. Well, I actually don't believe in the whole knight in shining armor thing. I mean, armor (especially the shiny kind) will eventually get less shiny and rust. It's what's underneath that matters like good character, a solid spiritual foundation, a lil wit and intelligence, a sense of humor, an appreciation of the simple things in life... And rippling biceps ;)

    Lemon honey green tea made me smile today :D

  2. That's what I meant with saying that Ghallahad was the better choice in knights. He had the stuff on the inside that Lancelot could never have

    And it made me smile as well, always does
