Taxi woes

In my opinion, there are 2 kinds of drivers that really irritate me.

1) The Taxi driver
2) The Mercedes Benz driver

And when you combine the 2 of them, you get the ultimate driver...the Mercedes Taxi driver.

Dunno is it just me, but I just get really irritated with Taxis. Yesterday, was sending some people home and there was a left turn that I needed to make. It was a single lane turning. Out of nowhere comes this taxi on my right and tried to squeeze in front of me to make the turn. Traffic was light and there was only 1 car in front of me and there was none for him to squeeze into. Instead of slowing down, he decided to try to cut in front of me. I horned at him. And when I passed him, he glared at me. Wassup man...sheesh.

Now the Mercedes driver. The Benz is a really nice expensive looking car, but sometimes I wonder if they come with signal lights. Why I say that? Because there were many occasions when I see a Merc trying to turn or filter, they never signal, so dunno is it signal light spoil or Mercedes forgot to install them. Either that or all Merc drivers go for some course on how to me a moronic driver after they buy thier car.

As for the Merc taxi driver, I leave that to your imagination.

40 Things That Only Happen In Movies

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting.

2. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it's aired.

4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.

5. Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paperclip in seconds. UNLESS it's the door to a burning
building with a child inside.


6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.


7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.

8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.

9. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off. Even while scuba diving.

10. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.

11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have been suspended from duty).

12. Getaway cars never start first go. But all cop cars do. (They will also slide to a dramatic stop in the midst of a crime scene).

13. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.

14. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched precariously on the dashboard . . .

15. All grocery shopping involves the purchase of French loaves which will be placed in open brown paper bags (Caveat: when said bags break, only fruit will spill out).

16. Cars never need fuel (unless they're involved in a pursuit).

17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.


18. If a microphone is turned on it will immediately feedback.

19. Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. you will always find another one.

20. All single women have a cat.

21. Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet.

22. No matter how savagely a spaceship is attacked, its internal gravity system is never damaged.

23. If being chased through a city you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.

24. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.

25. You will survive any battle in any war UNLESS you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

26. Prostitutes always look like Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis. They have expensive clothes and nice apartments but no pimps. They are friendly with the shopkeepers in their neighbourhood who don't mind at all what the girl does for a living.

27. A single match is usually sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.

28. It is not necessary to say "Hello" or "Goodbye" when beginning a telephone conversation. A disconnected call can always be restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying "Hello? Hello?" repeatedly.

29. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once (it's called Stallone's Law).

30. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room will still be visible, just slightly bluish.

31. Plain or even ugly girls can become movie star pretty simply by removing their glasses and rearranging their hair.

32. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies with complicated devices incorporating fuses, pulleys, deadly gases, lasers and man-eating sharks.

33. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her.

34. Anyone can land a 747 as long as there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

35. During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

36. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

37. Most musical instruments (especially wind instruments and accordions) can be played without moving your fingers.

38. In Middle America, all gas station attendants have red handkerchiefs hanging out of their back pockets.

39. All teen house parties have one of every stereotypical subculture present (even people who aren't liked and would never get invited to parties).

40. Trucks use their horns at random (no hang on, that happens in real life too!).

Gifts and Curses

Mary belongs to the words of a song.
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her.
But she will not wait for me, anymore, anymore.
Why did I say all those things before? I was sure.

(She is the one), but I have a purpose,
(she is the one), and I have to fight this,
(she is the one), a villian I can't knock down.

I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you.

Mary's alive in the bright New York sky,
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her.
Everything's small on the ground below, down below.
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?

(She is the one), all that I wanted,
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now.

I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
Still I will always fight on for you. Fight on for you ...

I see your face with every punch I take,

One of the cosmic problems that this world faces besides the common cockroach is the perpetual presence of dust.

It infuses itself in every aspect of life, no one, no thing, no object is exempt. And as much as you try to resist it (short of creating clean room, which by the way costs a lot of money, and even then its not totally free of dust) you always fail. I mean it, ALWAYS.

Anyhow, this is my keyboard in the office. Look at the parasites!!

Fear

fear Pronunciation Key (fîr)
n.


1. A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.
2. A state or condition marked by this feeling: living in fear.
3. A feeling of disquiet or apprehension: a fear of looking foolish.
4. Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.
5. A reason for dread or apprehension: Being alone is my greatest fear.

Fear is usually of the unknown, of entities or situations that are beyond our control. Humans somehow have this need to be in control (I speak for myself at least). But if we bothered to sit down and really think about it, there are many many things that are beyond out control. So instead of worrying (fear) about them, all we need to do is to let go.

And I am reminded that I have a Father that IS in control and that He is concerned for me and always keeping a look out for my best interest. So there is no need to fear of an "unknown" because everything in in control.


There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:17-19

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. [ Or adoption] And by him we cry, "Abba, [ Aramaic for Father] Father."

Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am


Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Bread for today

taken from Daily Bread 7th June 2005

Read:
Psalm 32:1-7

The rubber plant I bought for my wife Dorothy added a touch of life to our home. But one morning its leaves were dropping as if in a state of dejection. I wondered what happened.

When I came home for lunch that noon, the plant was completely transformed. It looked as hearty as it did the day I got it from the store. Its leaves were extended outward once again. When I asked Dorothy about it, she told me of reading a household hint on how to keep plants looking fresh. It stated that dust accumulating on the leaves can actually prevent the light from getting to them, so it's necessary to wipe them off regularly. She had done this and the result was amazing.

As we live in this world, tiny "particles" of sin can easily build up in our lives. Resentments, sharp words, impure thoughts, or selfish attitudes all take their toll on our spiritual vitality. Unless they are confessed right away, they begin to form a layer of "dust" that prevents us from experiencing the light of God's grace in our hearts. Those around us will sense that something is wrong.

If the accumulation of unconfessed sin has gathered on your soul, do as David did—confess it to the Lord (Psalm 32:5). Wipe off the "dusty leaves" of your life and enjoy once again the glorious sunshine of God's love. —Dennis De Haan

I dare you to move

My current favourite song by Switchfoot. Check out the lyrics:

You can also check out their cool MTV

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistence
The tension is here
Between who you are and you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

AN ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659

AN ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659
-CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY-

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She
noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She
immediately moved to another seat. This time the Smile
turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed
more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst
out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had
the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge
asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say
for himself.

The man replied, Well your Honour, it was like this:
When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but
notice her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that
said, "The Double Mint Twins are Coming" and I
grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that
said, "Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling", and
I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a
deodorant sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the
Trick", and I could hardly contain myself.

BUT, your Honour, when she moved the fourth time and
sat under a sign hat said, "Good Year Rubber could have
prevented this Accident"...I just lost it."

CASE DISMISSED!!"

Epiphany

e?piph?a?n
n. pl. e?piph?a?nies
Epiphany
A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.
January 6, on which this feast is traditionally observed.
A revelatory manifestation of a divine being.
A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.
A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization: ?I experienced an epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way I viewed myself? (Frank Maier).

Laugher is the best medicine. In that exact moment, when that feeling becomes the center of the entire range of emotions you feel, all the world around you sublimes and all you are left is that moment of pure bliss, of innocence and of happiness. It does not prejudice, it does not ostrasize, it just is.
