Words of Wisdom

Here? I'm not sure what we're gonna put here. It'll mostly be random, either our thoughts or those of someone else. Hopefully, most of it will be somewhat intelligent and some of it will be rambling. Whatever they are, I'm sure something will have a significance to some people out there.


A Wish for New Years

January 2nd, 2001

I'm not going to wish for world peace because at the rate we're headed, we're never gonna get it. I'm not gonna wish for the end of starvation because most people out there are too greedy to give up what they can for those who need it. I AM gonn wish for something that everyone deserves. No matter how nasty someone may act, how cold hearted they may seem, how selfish they may be, I wish them a good New Years. Just imagine if everyone was happy on New Years Eve. if EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this world was happy on just that one day, imagine how different that day would seem in your eyes. How would you see the world if everything was good? And how would you view the day after? Just think about that.

Happy New Years to ya'll!

Alexandria and Rachel

WOMEN:

Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point. Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable. Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin! Women do more than Just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

MEN:

Men are good at lifting heavy stuff and fixing shit.

Though this seems a far bit late, we would like to leave a word for MIchael Ciccione, the amazing actor and singer who played Jason QT McKnight of 2gether. Of course we had not konws him personally, but he was 16 and had yet lived only a small portion of his life. He, as well as everyone else, deserved to live a full, fulfilled life. His was unfortunately claimed by Hodgkin's Disease. Condolensces of many go out to his family. He was loved and he is missed. Whoever is taking care of him now is sure to be lucky.

HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY

(this has got to be the best I've seen yet)

1) At lunch time, sit in your parked car w/sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2) Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

3) Insist that your e mail address is: Xena-Warrior-Princess@cae.caElvis-the-King@cae.ca

4) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that

5) Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing

6) Put your garbage can on your desk and label it IN.

7) Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.

8)Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

9) In the memo field of all your checks, write 'for sexual favors.'

10) Reply to everything someone says with: That's what you think.

11) Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."

12) Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level lights up the entire work area. Insist to others that you like it that way.

13) Don't use any punctuation

14) As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

15) Ask people what sex they are and laugh hysterically after they answer.

16) Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

17) Sing along at the opera.

18) Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

19) Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does.(This is especially effective if your boss is of the opposite gender.)

20) Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you're doing. For example, "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom, in Stall #3."

21) Put mosquito netting around your cubicle. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day

22) Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

23) Call the psychic hot line and don't say anything.

24) Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.

25) When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won! 3rd time this week!!!"

26) When leaving the zoo, start running toward the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"

27) Tell your boss, "It's not the voices in my head that bother me,it's the voices in your head that do."

28) Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

29) Every time you see a broom, yell "Honey, your mother is here!"

And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity....

30). Send this e-mail to everyone in your address book, even if they sent it to you or asked you not to send them stuff like this.

TO ALL MY FRIENDS - A POEM

When you are sad, ...I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

When you are blue, ...I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

When you smile, ...I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are scared, ...I will rag you about it every chance I get.

When you are worried, ...I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.

When you are confused, ...I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass.

When you are sick, ...stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall, ...I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath, ...I pledge 'til the end. Why you may ask?

Because you're my friend!

6. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

7. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts", and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?

FAIRYTAKE FOR WOMEN OF THE 21ST CENTURY

>

~~~~~~~~

>

Once upon a time,

~~~~~~~~

in a land far away,

~~~~~~~~

a beautiful, independent,

~~~~~~~~

self-assured princess

~~~~~~~~

happened upon a frog as she sat,

>

~~~~~~~~

contemplating ecological issues

~~~~~~~~

on the shores of an unpolluted pond

~~~~~~~~

in a verdant meadow near her castle.

~~~~~~~~

The frog hopped into the princess' lap

~~~~~~~~

and said: Elegant Lady,

~~~~~~~~

I was once a handsome prince,

~~~~~~~~

until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.

~~~~~~~~

One kiss from you, however,

~~~~~~~~

and I will turn back

~~~~~~~~

into the dapper, young prince that I am

~~~~~~~~

and then, my sweet, we can marry

~~~~~~~~

and setup housekeeping in your castle

~~~~~~~~

with my mother,

~~~~~~~~

where you can prepare my meals,

~~~~~~~~

clean my clothes, bear my children,

~~~~~~~~

and forever

~~~~~~~~

feel grateful and happy doing so.

~~~~~~~~

That night,

~~~~~~~~

as the princess dined sumptuously

~~~~~~~~

on a repast of lightly sauteed frog legs

~~~~~~~~

seasoned in a white wine

~~~~~~~

and onion cream sauce,

~~~~~~~~

she chuckled and thought to herself:

~~~~~~~~

I don't fucking think so.

WHAT A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

*

A WOMEN SHOULD HAVE

*

*

*

...one old love she can imagine

going back to... and one who reminds

her how far she has come...

*

*

...enough money within her

control to move out and rent a place

of her own even if she never wants

to or needs to...

*

*

*

...something perfect to wear if

the employer or date of her dreams

wants to see her in an hour...

*

*

*

...a youth she's content to

leave behind...

...a past juicy enough that

she's looking forward to retelling it

in her old age...

*

*

*

...a set of screwdrivers, a

cordless drill, and a black lace

bra...

*

*

*

One friend who always makes

her laugh... and one who lets her

cry...

*

*

*

...a good piece of furniture

not previously owned by anyone else

in her family...

*

*

*

...eight matching plates, wine

glasses with stems, and a recipe

for a meal that will make her

guests feel honored..

*

*

*

...a feeling of control over

her destiny...

*

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

*

*

*

...how to fall in love without

losing herself...

...how to quit a job, break up

with a lover, and confront a friend

without ruining the friendship...

*

*

*

...when to try harder... and

when to walk away...

*

*

*

...that she can't change the

length of her calves, the width of

her hips, or the nature of her

parents...

*

*

*

...that her childhood may not

have been perfect... but its over...

*

*

*

...what she would and wouldn't

do for love or more...

*

*

*

...how to live alone... even if

she doesn't like it...

*

*

*

...whom she can trust, whom she

can't, and why she shouldn't take

it personally...

*

*

*

..where to go... be it to her

best friend's kitchen table... or a

charming inn in the woods...

when her soul needs soothing...

*

*

*

...what she can and can't

accomplish in a day... a month...and

a year...
