Fifteen Daily Nibbles - March 2, 2009

Posted 03-02-09 at 06:36 PM by txtmstrjoe (Joe-Pinions (txtmstrjoe's OCN Blog))

Here is today's heaping helping of hopefully helpful and thought-provoking hors d'oeuvres for the mind:
  • I feel almost zero motivation to work on a couple of PCs at home which are in various states of incompleteness.
  • Today's Giant of Literature is Joseph Campbell.
  • Most of my creative energies are flowing towards my still-growing fan fiction novella based on the mid-1980s television saga "V."
  • I shall not soon forget something that an old creative writing

Here, hot off the stove, is today's serving of finger foods for thought.
  • The best journeys we all should take are those which take us from the battleground to common ground.
  • Today's Giant of Literature is Mark Twain.
  • For people who work a typical full-time schedule (40-hour workweek = 5 x 8-hour workday), "Friday" is always the last day of the workweek... even if "Friday" doesn't fall on a Friday.

Here is today's serving of hors d'oeuvres for the mind:
  • Speak plainly; that way it's not your fault if you're misunderstood.
  • Today's Giant of Literature is John Donne.
  • TV play-by-play man Joel Meyers is easily the most annoying person associated with the Los Angeles Lakers; if you cannot see what's happening on TV and have to rely on Meyers to know what's happening in the game, you're doomed to be extremely frustrated (because the fool is a total failure at describing

Today's serving of fifteen hopefully delectable (not to mention digestible) morsels for thought:
  • Today marks the twenty-third anniversary of the historic bloodless "People Power Revolution" in the Philippines (where I was born). The event brought to an end Ferdinand Marcos' dictatorship; unfortunately, the country is in a much more sorry state today than it ever was.
  • Wisdom > knowledge. Right?
  • Nothing is ever black or white; there are only

Fifteen bite-sized morsels for thought:
  • To mangle a well-known saying, "Kids: You can't live with them; you can't live without them; you can't make them listen to you, either."
  • OCN is like a mirror for me, in that in the myriad youth I meet within its confines I see a reflection of many facets of my younger self.
  • Images on any mirror are forever in flux; all it takes is the will to change.
  • The best leaders are like cream: They seemingly just
