Falling Coconuts Kill More People Than Shark Attacks
“Falling coconuts kill 150 people worldwide each year, 15 times the number of fatalities attributable to sharks,” said George Burgess, Director of the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File and a noted shark researcher.
So yes I am a sucker for Submarine movies, and I have a lot of love for Crimson Tide and a special place for it’s excellent score by Hans Zimmer. So after switching after Law and Order I’m gonna watch the rest of this.
One thing I have realised about my job recently that I really love is getting paid. A few times recently now I’ve read the first book in a series and I’ve really enjoyed it. And unlike anytime before I have the freedom to just go out and buy the entire rest of the series. Its a nice little thing and it can make quite a difference. So I picked up all the rest of Bone this morning alongside some bits and pieces which of course there is more to come on
FHM has their annual 100 Sexiest Women in the World out this week. While I have of course the greatest amount of respect for this particular publication I cannot agree with Anna Kournikova as being the sexiest woman in the world. She is damn cute yes, but sexiest women in the world? Then again I never agreed with Jennifer Lopez for the past couple of years, in fact I really don’t see the attraction about her at all. But hey regardless of all their choices, you can’t argue with all the photos.
Seen as I don’t have much I want to blog about I thought I would share some of my favourite quotes:
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
From Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
From The Second Coming by W.B.Yeats
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything
Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
all George Bernard Shaw
Never except any situation as is, argue, question and explore.
Cicero
There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
From Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Talent does what it can; genius does what it must

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
Thomas Edison
Maybe this world is another planet’s Hell.
Aldous Huxley
Hell is other people.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
Carl Gustav Jung
Now I am become death, the shatterer of worlds.
From Bhagavad Gita by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

A furious light sabre duel is under way. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER toward the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke’s hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there’s nowhere to go but straight down.
DARTH VADER: “Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.”
LUKE: “He told me enough! He told me you killed him!”
DARTH VADER: “No! I am your father!”
LUKE: “No, it’s not true! It’s impossible.”
DARTH VADER: “Search your feelings; you know it to be true.”
LUKE: “NO!”
DARTH VADER: “Yes, it is true and you know what else? You know that brass droid of yours?”
LUKE: “Threepio?”
DARTH VADER: “Yes, Threepio, I built him when I was seven years old.”
LUKE: “No.”
DARTH VADER: “Seven years old? And what have you done? Look at yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn’t even levitate your own ship out of the swamp.”
LUKE: “I destroyed your precious Death Star!”
DARTH VADER: “When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!”
LUKE: “Well, it’s not my fault.”
DARTH VADER: “Oh, here we go. ‘Poor me, my father never gave me what I wanted for my birthday, boo hoo, my daddy’s the Dark Lord of the Sith .. waahhh wahhh!'”
LUKE: “Shut up.”
DARTH VADER: “You’re a slacker! By the time I was you’re age, I had exterminated the Jedi knights!”
LUKE: “I used to race my T-16 through Beggar’s Canyon!”
DARTH VADER: “Oh, for the love of the Emperor, 10 years old, winner of the Boonta Eve Open. Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer, right here baby!”
Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step toward it.
DARTH VADER: “I was wrong. You’re not my kid. I don’t know whose you are, but you sure ain’t mine.”
Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft.
Darth Vader looks after him.
DARTH VADER: “And get a haircut!”
4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? (via Friday 5)
Yes, alongside the diaries I use to keep I kept a dream journal, which is a nice way of saying I jotted down anything that I could remember anytime I got around to it. Why? I don’t remember exactly why but mainly I think I enjoyed my dreams and there were times I just wanted to relive them by writing them down. I still have the journal somewhere. I don’t think I have any recurring dreams, I use to, but I think they were more dreams in between sleep and awake where you have some control and can direct your dream. But you know I’m just gonna stop there before I depress myself even further.
Angel season 3 finale; good definitely a solid episode some badly done stuff some really well done stuff. I like the fact they are finally dealing with a vampire locked in a coffin for an extended period and some great character development all round.
Oh and just to top it off, I have had the first dodgy search hit here, which I suppose I was asking for with a recent entry, but if you search on Daypop for “wife fuck pictures” I’m the number one result. I guess I should be proud or something..
I am impressed. The last episode of 24 was one of the best conclusions to a season of a tv show that I have seen. I’m not going to say too much as some people reading this have not seen it but, wow it certainly does not disapoint, it also manages to set up another season very well without it seeming too contrived. Great performances all round, bring on season 2.
Thinking about it some more, the ending is all I had hoped it would be and I wasn’t really expecting to get what I wanted. While the very end is not all that unusual, the ending of one story at around 11:25pm is a refreshing change from the norm and one I certainly appreciated.
Why does my heart
Feel so bad?
Why does my soul
Feel so bad?
*ahem* Blogging after a night in the pub is never a good idea and it is compounded by the fact that going online after a night in the pub is never a good idea.
Irregardless of the reason why, or even the good (if selfish intention) going out on the beer tonight after just been taking it easy because of a stomach upset was a fucking stupid idea. *sigh* Lots to talk about, but nothing I want to talk about and that just sucks. I hate not feeling comfortable talking about anything. Its quite restraining at times.
I had planned on watching the season finales of 24 and Angel tonight, guess that is not going to happen now. I hate this feeling, the entire moment that made it worth it was actually so worth it and yes I laughed when I typed that.
fuck fuck fuck FUCKITY FUCK.
And to top it all off I have an email I have no idea what to do about. I guess I should just wait till the weekend and think about it clearly, but I had planned on booking a hotel and I think that would be better for me anyway.
I gotta go sleep now before I write something I know I will regret, If you loved me, you’d all kill yourselves
