Family Guy

This one always makes me laugh! Stewie is such a cutie!!! I love the chuckle he does in the end.

Stewie: Lois, Lois, Lois, Lois, Lois, mom, mom, mom, mommy, mommy, mommy, mama, mama, mama, ma, ma, ma, ma, mum, mum, mum, mum, mummy, mummy, mama, mama, mama.

Lois: WHAT?

Stewie: Hi! *runs off*

Exploring English - how it's a funny language

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted but if we explore its paradoxes we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?

 

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital?

Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?

When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out, and an alarm clock goes off by going on.

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?

An angel descends

Though words unspoken, you say exactly this when I'm with you and that alone means more to me than anything in this world. Forevermore my angel ♥

Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

P/S: The 6th, a perfect number day!

Facebook is...

> first and foremost a social network - GOOD when "used correctly". It lets you connect with the whole world/make new friends from anywhere and everywhere.

 > a great way to keep in touch (especially with the ones that you haven't seen in a long time/lives far, far away) - GOOD

> a procrastination tool (what with all the things people post and you spend hours reading/looking at everything) - BAD

> a place to hold discussions, get updates/information (healthy baby girl born at 6.03 pm, events, job opportunities, chance upon answers to assignment questions someone posted, etc.) - GOOD

> a place to share links - GOOD. Often entertaining/educational. Ah, with the exceptional BAD being...*refer to point on procrastination tool*

> a place to upload pictures/videos - GOOD when you want to share recent events with your friends/family. BAD when you're not mindful of what pictures/videos of yourself/someone else you post that could incriminate yourself/that other someone in the future (at job interviews, etc.)

> a place where people vent out their feelings and somewhat makes their profile a "reality show" people read about (as opposed to watching your life being played out on telly) - GOOD because when you want to vent out and there's no one to vent to, you can turn to Facebook and in turn let the whole world know about your problems/who you dislike/what pissed you off that day. BAD because now the whole world (well whoever that is able to view your profile) knows about it. GOOD because it may be entertaining to the people reading and then making them feel good about themselves thinking that maybe their life is not so bad after all. BAD because you've become the source of entertainment (if you're optimistic, they could be laughing WITH you...or not they're really laughing AT you).

> a quick, easy, and most importantly, free (saves you from calling/texting) place to chat (MSN? YM? It's all Facebook chat now) - GOOD being yet another "piece of technology" that makes our life easy and at the same time being a one stop center for everything. BAD being chat all the time and hence wasting the time you should've been studying/working/going outside and getting some sun on your skin but then again one could say the same about MSN/YM/etc. Also, BAD being (as some might say) Facebook limits face-to-face interactions/voice-to-voice conversations. But that again could be said the same about MSN/YM/etc.

> a good place to stalk/investigate someone - yet another GOOD or BAD. GOOD if you're the stalker. BAD if you're the one being stalked (unless you like it). GOOD when person X wants to know everything about person Y all they have to do is...yep, you've guessed it! Facebook. BAD when you're not mindful enough of what you write and someone sees your status about your fun day at the beach when you've called in sick for work and hence getting yourself fired when your employer finds out.

"Technology isn't intrinsically good or evil. It's how it's used. Like the death ray." (Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth)

Facebook really is what you make it to be.

Your loving arms

"I think about the years I spent just passing through

I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand

You've been there you understand

It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true"

3 months ago today, the universe stopped for a second just for us. What we have, what you are to me, what I feel for you will always be more than words can ever describe.

I love you, my angel.

"Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you"

It never ends does it?
