Trig

September 07, 2008

Here's a great quote from a former Dean of Vanderbilt University:

"Today I am going to give you two examinations, one in trigonometry and one in honesty. I hope you will pass them both, but if you must fail one, let it be trigonometry, for there are many good men in this world today who cannot pass an examination in trigonometry, but there are no good men in the world who cannot pass an examination in honesty."

Yeah

I've never understood why, when the ancient Greeks suspended everything they were doing(wars, harvest, construction, etc.) to celebrate the olympic games, we can't suspend "Dr. Phil" reruns for two weeks every four years so that we can see more of the games.

If you're not in the mood to hear me whine, don't read this.

August 13, 2008

WHY DO I ALWAYS WIND UP DOING EVERYBODY'S JOBS? Should I really be cooking supper for Mom, or vacuuming, or painting for Dad or other things that they really should be doing, on top of all the other stuff I do? I guess. Maybe I'm just a whiner. Or maybe I'm just put out because I've been getting about 6 hours of sleep a night. Nonetheless, I'm feeling whiney today, so thanks for putting up with me.

Give 'im the finger!

I broke my finger. It was painful. I had stitches in it. I can't go swimming, or play an instrument for 2-4 weeks. Bummer.

MacArthur

June 02, 2008

Here's a great quote from one of the greatest men to ever live:

"Your mission is to win our wars. All other public purposes will find others for their accomplishment. Yours is the profession of arms. The will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, and the obsession of your public service must be duty, honor, country"

-- Gen. Douglas MacArthur
