Good Morning Ladies & Gentlemen,

Today marks the first day of Spring. I guess it's the equinox and so…all is in balance? Isn't that…what that means? It was a little cloudy this morning, so no first sunrise of Spring shining in my window…but no matter. Haven't been feeling too well the past few days (maybe it IS a good thing I took Wednesday off) but not too horrible. Just kind of blah, so I've been drinking juice to make sure I don't come down with anything. Lots of juice. Had some the other day at the museum that was an odd combination too - Cranberry Apple Raspberry, which I think they should just condense to Crappleberry. Not the tastiest name ever…but I can see the advertisement now. "Try Welch's new Crappleberry Juice - You'll have Vitamin C coming out of my A!!!" Marketing genius.

Well, so far I've only missed two out of 16 picks in games so far in the NCAA tournament…and one of those went down to the final seconds (VCU) and the other was really just a bold choice for a Sweet 16 Cinderella (MSU Bulldogs). We'll see how the rest of them go. So yeah, that's how I spent my evening. That and watching "Futurama: Bender's Game" which was the typical Futurama hilarity. Zap Branigan is still my favorite character on that show. "I suffer from a very sexy learning disorder. What's it called again, Kiff?" "(Sigh) Sexlexia." So yeah, if you like Futurama, check it out…and honestly, I'd be more excited about a Zap Branigan spin-off than a Cleveland spin-off from Family Guy. Just my opinion though. Other than that, not much else going on right now…except…

BACON Update - Through my contacts with my job, I was invited as a VIP to a very special presentation of the Bacon Brothers at the Hard Rock Café here in Denver next weekend. So I've got an extra ticket if anybody wants to come out to Denver and, oh I don't know, MEET KEVIN BACON!!! That's right, through the magic of networking, I will skip the other five degrees…and be shaking hands directly with THE Kevin Bacon…oh and apparently his brother…ugh Crispy? Delicious? Hickory Smoked? I don't know his brother's name. He wasn't in Tremors. As a VIP, apparently there's a special meet & greet before the concert where we'll be introduced to the Bacons. I'm sure it'll be great music too. So yeah, if you're interested and have nothing better to do next Sunday, March 29th, let me know. Who knows. If you ask nicely, you may even get a free dinner out of it…ladies. I would insist that you at least consider the Bleu Bacon Burger…in honor of our hosts. Anyway, that's really about it…so here's the news...

Expendables Update - Something new happens with this movie every week it seems. Sylvester Stallone is trading down with rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson replacing Oscar winner Forest Whitaker in the action team-up feature "The Expendables" reports AICN. Due to delays which have put back the film's shoot by a month, Whitaker has had to pull out due to conflicts with prior engagements. Stallone stars in and directs the actioneer about a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator. Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lungdren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Charisma Carpenter and Steve Austin also star. Filming kicks off in Brazil on the 28th, then moves to New Orleans on April 13th. Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo will be shot in Los Angeles. Hmm, Brazil, New Orleans, sounds more interesting with every update. I kinda thought that Forest Whitaker seemed a little out of place in a movie with this much action…but he had acting chops. Now they have to rely on the deep complex characters of Sly himself…and maybe Mickey Rourke. I'm told he can act too. Haven't seen "The Wrestler" though…and "Angelheart" is still pretty unforgivable. "Come on $teve, that was over 20 years ago. We all make mistakes. What about Sin City? 9 & 1/2 Weeks? Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man?" "Mr. Rourke, you're not helping your case. Sin City was awesome…but get them to start on number two, then you'll be forgiven." Oh, so yeah, Fitty's now expendable. Awesome. Now the odd one out seems to be Charisma Carpenter…but she was on Buffy & Angel for a long time (so I'm told) so maybe she has some action chops…or at least eye candy. Even action flicks need sufficient eye candy.

OVER THE LINE!!! - Police said a dispute over bowling etiquette led one man to assault another with a 16-pound ball, knocking out one of the man's teeth. They said a 24-year-old man hit a man in the face with the bowling ball during a melee involving six bowlers at the Rocklin AMF Lanes. Two groups got into a fist fight about 12:40 AM Thursday after two bowlers approached the lane at the same time…and apparently they couldn't agree which should go first. Thus leading to the only possible way of settling this dispute. No, not drawing a handgun out of your bag and screaming, "It's just like Nam" or something…but rather, a drunken melee involving both teams. Last man standing gets to go first. However, they forgot one major rule…and that's that balls in play are not allowed in the melee…and that's a serious league violation involving possible suspension. Rocklin police Sgt. Terry Jewell said the victim was treated for facial injuries at a local hospital. Doctors reinserted the tooth, hoping it will reattach itself. The suspect was being held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon in Placer County Jail. By the way, check out the Big Lebowski if you haven't already. Otherwise my rambling seems even more insane than intended. If the suspect's name was Walter, I would probably literally sh*t myself laughing. "I'm perfectly calm, dude."

The Brazilian Job - The great state of New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing. The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is moving toward a ban on genital waxing after two women reported being injured in their quest for a smooth bikini line (Really? Only two?). Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called "Brazilian" bikini waxes; one of the women has filed a lawsuit, according to Jeff Lamm, a spokesman for New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the cosmetology board. Technically, genital waxing has never been allowed — only the face, neck, abdomen, legs and arms are permitted — but because bare-it-all "Brazilians" weren't specifically banned, state regulators haven't enforced the law. "The genital area is not part of the abdomen or legs as some might assume," Lamm said. Officials with the National Cosmetology Association and National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology said they were unaware of another state that has banned genital waxing (even Utah, which may be a first). Regular bikini waxes would still be allowed. Genital waxing can be dangerous in that the hot wax can irritate or tear delicate skin in the bikini area, resulting in infections, ingrown hairs and rashes, according to skin care experts…or novices really…because I'm not an expert & I knew that. Despite such risks, millions of American women (and some dudes) choose to have the hair down there ripped away, and a majority of salons in New Jersey offer the procedure for between $50 to $60 (well, at least you're guaranteed to get screwed at least once afterwards). The state Board of Cosmetology meets next on April 14th and will decide whether to move forward with banning the procedure, made popular in Brazil to accommodate skimpy thong bikinis. The earliest the ban could take effect would be sometime in May, Lamm said, and salons that continue to perform it could be fined (like $50 to $60?). For salon owners, discontinuing the popular service could mean a substantial drop in business, especially as summer swimsuit season nears. Spa owner Linda Orsuto, who owns 800 West Salon & Spa in Cherry Hill, estimates that most of 1,800 bikini waxes performed at her business last year were Brazilian-style. "It's huge," she said, adding that her customers don't think their bikini lines are anyone's business but their own. "It's just not right." She said many customers would likely travel across state lines to get it and some might even try to wax themselves. God forbid. Please just be careful out there when/if you handle your business down there. Personally, I don't care about your hair down there. Of course I'm a big fan of smooth, shaved legs & thighs…but honestly, I don't care if it looks like Foxxy Brown down there, just let the afro tickle a bit. I say do whatever makes you feel comfortable, ladies. We'll still Love ya…whenever possible.

My Kind of Protest - Speaking of eye candy, an Italian pornographic actress stripped down to her panties at the Milan stock exchange on Tuesday to protest against the financial crisis, police said. 22-year old Laura Perego climbed onto a table inside the bourse entrance clad only in her panties and with the Italian flag painted on her body. "Italy is down to its underpants," the Sicilian-born actress shouted before being taken away by police. She was charged with obscene acts. "I want to send a message to all those who have so badly managed people's savings," Perego told the Ansa news agency. She added she had other public exhibitions in mind "always improvised and unexpected," Ansa said. Now I…must not understand what her message was. Was it something like "Hey, thanks for making life savings disappear. Here's some free hot Italian boobage"? Or was it "Since you screwed over my 401k, I can't even afford a bra to secure these full ample breasts and protect them from the midday breeze. See? For shame"? One thing's for sure, she had an attention-grabbing presentation…and a first impression that'll engage the audience. Unfortunately her time was cut short…because I'm curious what the final thesis was going to be. Always end the presentation off with a bang. I think we should have more protesting with full frontal nudity. Especially in the summer months. Just be sure to wear sunscreen. If you need help applying it, you know how to get a hold of me.

Lingerie Football League - Okay, so remember last week when I just found out about the United Football League…and it sounds like it's going to be pretty cool….maybe, eventually since it only has four teams playing four games a year right now? Well, I may have just stumbled upon something even better. As you can probably tell from the title, it's the Lingerie Football League. I know, it sounds completely made up, right? Well, it's no longer a dream…but rather a fantasy come true. How did I find out about this? Gentlemen's Quarterly? Lecherous Stalker Weekly? Nope, from CBS 4 News online here in Denver. Why? Because the local team, the Denver Dream had tryouts last week. Here are some pictures…with some pretty good talent.

Now, here's the deal. It's ten teams across the nation (New England Euphoria, Chicago Bliss, Miami Caliente, Atlanta Steam, Tampa Breeze, Dallas Desire, San Diego Seduction, Seattle Mist, Los Angeles Temptation and the Denver Dream) and they play eight games a year from September to January. The rules are essentially the same, just a smaller 50-yard field and so it's seven players to a side. I couldn't find anything on the web about pads being used…or if it's really lingerie they'll be wearing (which could get really interesting with gang tackles and "wardrobe malfunctions") but I believe it's going to be similar to the picture to the left...so basically it sounds like it's going to be a halftime show…all game long. Ticket prices apparently run $15 to $100 and games will be played at (tehehe) Dick's Sporting Goods Park here in Denver. I'm not making that up. You can see the Dream at Dick's. Anyway, I'll keep you posted when they announce the final roster…but apparently this is the next step of the annual Lingerie Bowl which starred the likes of Playmates and Willa Ford in the past…so it could be very interesting. I just saw that front row center tickets for the first game are available for (tehehe) $69…but I can get several hours at a gentlemen's club with a few lap dances for that price. However, if they would like me to help with their marketing and update my legions of loyal blog readers on their team, perhaps they'd like to offer me some complimentary tickets…and maybe some behind the scenes interviews…or phone numbers…you know, whatever would help promote their brand. Anyway, something to keep in mind, Dream management.

What a day! First day of Spring, March Madness basketball is alive & well, sweet sweet bacon, bad-ass movies, bowling, Brazilians, boobalicious protesting, beauties playing football in their delicates, yeah today is a great day. This weekend should be fun…but I'm not exactly sure how. I'm sure that I'll find a way though. I typically do. Have a great day everybody!!! Let me know if you want to be part of The Bacon Experience!!!

Get Down with the Madness

Good Morning Ladies & Gentlemen,

Well, I didn't post yesterday…and as foretold in the Prophecy, an angel didn't get his or her wings. Sorry about that. I had a good reason though. Well, for St Patrick's Night, the Mad Scientist, From Russia with Love and I went about town looking for a drink. Luckily, there's at least two bars and two restaurants to every single block in the Lodo area and they all serve massive amounts of alcoholic beverages, so it didn't take long. First, we ate at Wynkoop Brewery and I had me a delicious Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and a few drinks (and a shot for Bubbles, a toast for Jewels and a beer for JL Clyde). The waitress was also cute…so apparently the Mad Scientist left my phone number with her. He was drunk. He also drunk dialed Bone Junior…so yeah. Anyway, after dinner, we wandered around town feeling good & buzzed…and we weren't the only ones. Eventually sat down at a place called Blues on Blake, which was the only place we found without a line. I think there were two patrons and two bartenders when we showed up there…but the music was pretty good…and the people seemed nice, so we stayed and had a few drinks. A little later, we went back to my apartment and watched "Wagons East!" and had a few more beers. Good times.

The next morning, I woke up and my throat was burning…and my head was pounding a bit. Maybe the booze? Maybe. I sucked it up and took a shower and got ready for work. I wasn't feeling too well…but I didn't get a lot of sleep so that might've played into it too. Then about fifteen minutes before work started, I had to make a dash to the Porcelain goddess Pukestra and make an offering. Not good. I felt oddly better though, so I cleaned up, brushed the teeth a few times and went off to work. I did my morning duties and informed Boss Man J that I may be going home a little early today because "my throat's been hurting this morning." Well, the girl that sits next to me called in sick a few minutes later…with strep throat. So they kinda put two and two together and suggest that I go home, just to be safe. "Well, if you think it'd be best. I don't want anybody else to get sick." Such a noble reason, right? So I finished up a few duties and left after about two hours. When I got home, I drank a bunch of juice and eventually ate a pizza and was feeling fantastic after a nap. So, in the early afternoon, we all decided to go see the Museum of Nature & Science…and pictures for that will be coming up tomorrow or maybe over the weekend.

After the museum (which was a Free Day for EVERYBODY and their kids were there…but it was free and we had fun), we ate at Chedd's Gourmet Grilled Cheese, took a nap and then walked around town again. We ate at McCormick's Fish House and had some great seafood. Today they're flying back…and it's been a fun few days with them here. Hopefully they'll decide to come back some day. I think they liked the city. Travel safe you two. Thanks for stopping by.

Do you know what else is today? MARCH MADNESS!!! I’m not going to bore you with a lot of in-depth analysis of this year's college basketball tournament…but I filled out my bracket literally five minutes ago…and I don't have a whole lot of upsets…but here are some of the bigger ones. I was thinking North Dakota State could do pretty good…but then I saw their first game was against defending champion Kansas, so I couldn't quite do it. I hope it's a great game though, maybe a possible upset. For upsets that I had the balls to pick, I have VCU beating UCLA, Western Kentucky beating Illinois, Maryland over California, the Utah State Aggies beating Marquette…and the team that I think is not only going to upset once…but twice…are the Mississippi State Bulldogs beating Washington…and then Purdue in the next round to make it to the Sweet 16 as a #13 seed. Go ahead and place your bets. As for the Final Four, I have Louisville playing Memphis and the great interstate rivalry of Duke against North Carolina, then North Carolina winning the championship over Memphis. Anyway, you don't care. I just wanted to document it before it actually happened…like the Nostradamus of Nonsense. Here's some news...

Elvis Update - Just wanted to give Bone Junior as much notice as possible…but some Elvis Presley memorabilia including a performance jumpsuit and a grand piano he played at Graceland went on auction on Monday in a demonstration of his commercial appeal 31 years since the King left the building. The online auction house Gotta Have It! Collectibles will have the items on sale through March 25. "There is a huge, huge following for Elvis and there always will be," said Peter Siegel of Gotta Have It! "He was larger than life. Today, there are children that are just totally enamored by him and kids dress like him still for Halloween." Highlights include a blue jumpsuit and cape with gold lining that Presley wore at a Madison Square Garden performance in 1972. Siegel expected these two items to fetch at least $150,000 (good luck with that, playa). The Madison Square concert marked one of the few times Presley performed in New York City and the jumpsuit is pictured on the cover of the live album "An Afternoon in the Garden." Also on the block is Presley's white Knabe Grand Piano, which he played at his mansion, Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee from 1957 to 1969. It is expected to fetch at least $750,000. Presley's signature sunglasses and gold and diamond owl ring are also on sale. For tighter budgets there are numerous magazines featuring Presley on the cover and several action figures of Presley with starting bids of $10 (hint hint, my birthday's coming up next month…and though I'd prefer a lap dance from Priscilla, it's the thought that counts).

Predator X - No, not another sequel to the Predator movie series (unfortunately) but rather a scientific find of badass proportions. A giant fossil sea monster found in the Arctic and known as "Predator X" had a bite that would make T-Rex look feeble, scientists said Monday. The 50 foot long Jurassic era marine reptile had a crushing 33,000 pounds (or over 16 TONS) per square inch bite force, the Natural History Museum of Oslo University said of the new find on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. "With a skull that's more than 10 feet long you'd expect the bite to be powerful but this is off the scale. It's much more powerful than T-Rex," scientists said of the pliosaur reptile that would have been a top marine predator. Tyrannosaurus Rex was a top land carnivore among dinosaurs. The scientists reconstructed the predator's head and estimated the force by comparing it with the similarly-shaped jaws of alligators in a park in Florida. "The calculation is one of the largest bite forces ever calculated for any creature," the Museum said of the bite, estimated with the help of evolutionary biologist Greg Erickson from Florida State University. Predator X's bite was more than 10 times more powerful than any modern animal and four times the bite of a T-Rex. The teeth of the pliosaur, belonging to a new species, were a foot (30 cms) long. The scientists reconstructed the reptile from a partial skull and 20,000 fragments of skeleton (ugh…does anybody else see a problem with that? I could piece together a cow with a ten foot jaw with 20,000 bone fragments). The pliosaur is estimated to have weighed 45 tons. "It's not complete enough to say it's really bigger than 15 meters," Hurum said of the new fossil. Hurum had said of the first fossil pliosaur that it was big enough to chomp on a small car. He said the bite estimates for the latest fossil forced a rethink. "This one is more like it could crush a Hummer." Among other findings were that the pliosaur had a small thin brain shaped like that of a great white shark, according to scans by Patrick Druckenmiller of the University of Alaska. Pliosaurs preyed upon squid-like animals, fish, and other marine reptiles. Predator X had four huge flippers to propel itself along, perhaps using just two at cruising speeds and the others for a burst of speed. So yeah, the waters were a dangerous place in the Jurassic era too. Still kinda bummed that it's not a new Predator movie…but whatever. I'll get by. I also saw yesterday that they're doing a show about this on the Discovery Channel, so I'll be sure to check that out.

Riding Motorcycles & Wild Turkey - Don't drink & drive. Especially with motorcycles…and Wild Turkey. That stuff's just awful anyway. Anyway, that really doesn't have much to do with this story…but still, please don't drink & drive. Police said a wild turkey is to blame for knocking a 23-year-old man off his motorcycle and breaking his collarbone. Maine State Trooper Corey Huckins said Jeffrey Russell of Hartford was riding with a friend on Route 117 in Buckfield on Sunday afternoon when a wild turkey flew straight into his chest, knocking him backward off his motorcycle. Huckins said the impact was like "hitting a bowling ball at 45 mph." Police said Russell was knocked unconscious and flown in a medical helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. Russell's riding companion was not injured, but sadly, the turkey was killed in the accident…and then stuffed with a mixture of bread products, vegetables and his own extremities, cooked at 450 degrees for several hours, basting in his own juices and served to Mr. Russell in the hospital. Okay, that last part may not have happened…but I'd appreciate that meal if I just broke my collarbone. "Mmm, justice is a dish best served dry…and with a side of stuffing."

Pope Update - Though this blog focuses more on the holy entities of Panda bears and Hollywood starlets than actual religious figures, I like to occasionally see what the Pope is up to. Well, this week the Pope Benedict XVI is traveling through Mother Afrika…and he started it off Tuesday by saying that condoms are not the answer to Africa's fight against HIV. It was the pope's first explicit statement on an issue that has divided clergy, even those working with AIDS patients. Benedict arrived in Yaounde, Cameroon's capital, on Tuesday afternoon, greeted by a crowd of flag-waving faithful and snapping cameras. The visit is his first pilgrimage as pontiff to Africa. In his four years as pope, Benedict had never directly addressed condom use (apparently not a big fan of the loss of sensitivity), although his position is not new. His predecessor, Pope John Paul II, often said that sexual abstinence (not condoms) was the best way to prevent the spread of the disease. Sure, it's the most effective way…but does that really make it "the best"? Benedict also said the Roman Catholic Church was at the forefront of the battle against AIDS. "You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, it increases the problem." The pope said a responsible and moral attitude toward sex would help fight the disease. The Roman Catholic Church rejects the use of condoms as part of its overall teaching against artificial contraception. Senior Vatican officials have advocated fidelity in marriage and abstinence from premarital sex as key weapons in the fight against AIDS…and popularity of the church. About 22 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are infected with HIV. In 2007, three-quarters of all AIDS deaths worldwide were there, as well as two-thirds of all people living with HIV. Rebecca Hodes with the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa said if the pope was serious about preventing new HIV infections, he would focus on promoting wide access to condoms and spreading information on how best to use them. "Instead, his opposition to condoms conveys that religious dogma is more important to him than the lives of Africans." Hodes said the pope was right that condoms are not the sole solution to Africa's AIDS epidemic, but added they are one of the very few proven measures to prevent HIV infections. Even some priests and nuns working with those living with HIV/AIDS question the church's opposition to condoms amid the pandemic ravaging Africa. Ordinary Africans do as well. "Talking about the nonuse of condoms is out of place. We need condoms to protect ourselves against diseases and AIDS," teacher Narcisse Takou said Tuesday in Yaounde. Is it wrong that reading this story is just making me think about how long it's been? Seriously, apparently people in Afrika are bangin' like rabbits but…just kidding. Please donate to AIDS research funds. Help spread education so that we can stop or at least contain this horrible disease. Oh…and use condoms. Otherwise, you may get unwanted hardships like HIV, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, children, herpes, or a number of other sexually-transmitted diseases.

English Village for Sale - Looking for a place to raise a bunch of those children from not using condoms? Well, an entire English village, complete with 22 houses and cottages, two blacksmiths and a cricket pitch, goes on sale this week. The charitable trust which owns Linkenholt in Hampshire, southern England, has decided to sell up and use the capital it raises elsewhere. The asking price when Linkenholt goes on the open market on Wednesday is 22-25 million pounds ($31-35 million), according to Jackson-Stops & Staff estate agents who are handling the sale. The archetypal English village is nestled in rolling countryside and boasts a manor house, old rectory (does that mean it's leaning a little bit) and clock tower and is part of a 2,000-acre estate. One of the few things a buyer would not own is St. Peters church, which originally dates back to the 12th century but was significantly rebuilt in 1871. Locals, who rent their properties, are expected to stay on after the sale, and most hope that a change in ownership does not mean a change in lifestyle. "It would be nice if somebody bought the estate and lived here and was Lord of the Manor to be quite honest, that's the general consensus of everyone in the village," said Colin Boast, one of the village's two blacksmiths. "It would just be nice if somebody looked at the village and said 'well, let's keep it as the village it is.' But you never know." Paul Raynesford, a local thatcher, said he thought the asking price for the village was reasonable. "I think if you were to go around and work out the individual bits I think you'd find it's quite a fair price, taking into account the price of the agricultural land and the price of the individual properties." Tim Sherston of Jackson-Stops called the village a "safe and sound investment" despite the economic slowdown. "You've got an entire village -- 22 houses, a cricket pitch, a village shop, a forge and 1,500 acres of farmland, 450 acres of woodland ... We think actually there will be a lot of potential buyers for this." The estate is owned by the Herbert and Peter Blagrave Charitable Trust. With no heir, the late Herbert Blagrave, a philanthropic racing figure, left his family fortune to a trust, along with orders that the money should be spent on sick children, the elderly and injured jockeys. Since much of that fortune is still tied up in Linkenholt, the trustees decided it was time to try to sell. So yeah, if you want to buy a quaint medieval village from an aging jockey for about $30 million, now's your chance. I assume it's not going to happen too often. Maybe Bono will buy it…and rename it Bono. He has enough money from going on tour, right? Anyway, I'm going to have to Google what a rectory is…and what a thatcher does. I think it's a manly name for seamstress…but who knows.

Confucius Movie - Chow Yun-Fat ("The Killer", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Replacement Killers" and "Bulletproof Monk" among others) is set to play ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius in a $2.8 million biopic of the man for Dadi Film Group reports Variety. Backed by the Chinese government, teachings of the 5th Century BC philosopher were virtually banned during the Cultural Revolution but are undergoing a major revival in newly consumerist China for his teachings on morals and character. Hu Mei is set to direct, with shooting starting later this month at Hebei province and at Hengdian studios. A late 2009 release is planned. Interesting little tid bit, his name was actually Kong…but later they called him Kong-fu-tse or "Kong the Master" which over the years Americanized became Confucius. Here's a quick rundown of his life. Loved to learn, married at 19, divorced at 23, then his mom died. In mourning, he isolated himself for three years to study philosophy and then he taught his philosophy to ancient China…and it grew from there. Doesn't sound like a lot of special effects involved…but that may be where the dream sequences come into play. Come on now. You have to have Chow Yun-Fat kick at least one ass in any movie that he's in. That's like having Michael Biehn in a movie without a chase and/or gunfire. It just doesn't happen. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite sayings from Confucius…since you asked…

• Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.


• It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. (Ladies…)


• Respect yourself and others will respect you.


• Study the past if you would define the future.


• Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.


• Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.


• When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - that is knowledge.


• My personal favorite (and formerly Bubbles' until she got a new one the other day) - I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
  

I'll leave you with those nuggets of wisdom. Have a great day everybody!!!
