If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

A story overheard by Joseph Campbell, while at a religous conference in Japan. An American philosopher talking to a Shinto priest.
"We've been now to a good many ceremonies and have seen quite a few of your shrines. But I don't get your ideology. I don't get your theology." The Japanese priest paused as if in deep thought and slowly shook his head. "I think we don't have ideology," he said. "We don't have theology. We dance."

I am Canadian...

I recently ran across a blog where the person was berating the documentary film maker, Micheal Moore. Although I didn't agree with the negative opinions he expressed, that's not why I mention it. The reason I bring it up is, this blogger was under the mistaken impression that M.M. was a Canadian. Just to set the record straight, Mr. Moore is from The Great Lakes State of Michigan. On that theme, here are the names of some people who really are Canadian.
Alanis Morissette
Bryan Adams
Shania Twain
Celine Dion
Diana Krall
Joni Mitchell
K.D. Lang
Anne Murray
Neil Young
Nelly Furtado
Avril Lavigne
Sarah McLachlan
Paul Anka
Robbie Robertson (The Band)
Corey Hart
Robert Goulet
Terri Clark
Michelle Wright
The Guess Who
Steppenwolf
Pamela Anderson
Kim Cattrall
Alex Trebek
William Shatner
Peter Jennings
Paul Shaffer
Bret Hart
Steve Nash
Michael J. Fox
Jim Carrey
Tom Green
Martin Short
Mike Meyers
Dan Akroyd
John Candy
Phil Hartman
Howie Mandell
Todd McFarlane (Spawn)
Matthew Perry
Jason Priestly
Caroline Rhea
Jenny Jones
Donald Sutherland
Leslie Nielson
Meg Tilly
Linda Evangelista
Alan Thicke
Lorne Green
Raymond Burr
Margot Kidder
Samuel Goldwyn
Christopher Plummer
Rich Little
Lorne Michaels (S.N.L.)
Keanu Reeves
Jack Kerouac

Oh, and while we're at it, Canadians invented the following;
television, telephone, am radio, basketball, trivial pursuit, the zipper, IMAX projector system, music synthesizer, electron microscope, and the Canadarm on the spaceshuttle.

Have a good day eh.

Italian Sunday....

It's a drippy wet, grey Sunday here today...the kind of day when it's hard to tell where the ocean ends and the sky begins. Everything looks so clean and refreshed with the rain though..so many beautiful shades of green. The plants grow quickly in this weather, I wonder how long it would take for Mother Nature to reclaim our laneway and little shack by the sea. The kind of day to light a cozy fire and consider whether you should get dressed at all, since you've left it so late in the day.

A perfect day for a pot of rose petal tea and the Italian Network. I like watching foreign television and trying to figure out what's going on. Italian is the best, the people are gorgeous..they wear the greatest clothes, and heels everywhere! They have these wild variety shows, not the sixties, cardboard sets, Ed Sullivan genre either, we're talking extravaganzas here. Gigantic theatres with huge sets that are works of art.....and the people have so much fun. Dancing girls and guys, all barely dressed, full orchestras and wonderful singers....and when they talk to/interview someone, they actually look at the person and listen intently. Their style of greeting is so cool....they do the kiss each cheek thing, even the guys, but it's not that phony Hollywood air kiss...it seems so warm and genuine. And talk...can they talk, maybe that's why I like it so much, because I'm a talker, as you can tell by my ramblings here. All this talk of things Italian is making me hungry....pasta or Italian chicken?

Of shoes and nuclear weapons.....this is an actual headline from a newspage on the net..

North Korea calls on workers to be combat-ready over nuclear dispute
  What part of nuclear don't these people understand?? If I didn't know better I'd think the Iraqi Information Minister had found new work.

call the fashion police!
When did bowling shoes become cool? A fashion trend who's time has come.....and gone!!

Here are some recent google searches that have led people to my humble blog. I realised when I picked this title, that I might get a few wayward hits, but I hadn't foreseen the Dixie Chicks debacle.
So many people seem to be interested in them all of a sudden, well, in them naked at least.
 Dixie chicks naked--naked Dixie pics--Dixie chicks images naked....and on and on and on
Then there's the redneck searches, I have been accused of having a slight pink tinge, but..
 naked redneck men--naked redneck women--trucks and naked chicks--naked weed girls
Ahh the teen years...
 Armed dangerous street fighter girls--street fighter girls naked together
Oooops, should've put this in the redneck category.
 baghdad bob walmart
Lost something? Perhaps if you included her name...
 photo of my naked wife
I've been defending the spelling impaired lately, but even I have my standards.
 naked web sight
The final mention here, isn't a google search, they came to me through Bob the Corgi. Perhaps she's been posting subversive soup recipes? I'm mentioning it solely because of the IP address, which I won't publish with respect to privacy and my safety. This is the website linked to the aforementioned address. Two scenarios spring to mind here, both of which are unsettling to say the least.
One is a guy, or woman, sitting with their feet up, surfing the net while waiting for the order to push "the button". Whoa, there's a whole other blog entry...pms'ing women in charge of nuclear missiles!..Ok, second scenario, and this is the one that scares me.....some military geek sitting inside a mountain in Colorado, searching for terrorists on the net. Ok I did make one blog entry, Deal me in.., where I jokingly referred to myself as Chemical Ronnie, about to unleash weapons of mass destruction on the terrorist weeds in my garden...but they couldn't have taken me seriously....I mean, surely these miltary types have a sense of humour too?
Now I suppose there is a third possibility...that it was just someone that lives on the base, and enjoys blogging like the rest of us, but where's the drama in that?

If you bury your head in the sand does it filter out the smog?
Once again we have evidence of our imminent demise. Run fast and run hard.
