Please someone educate me!

I am attempting to be a wine connoisseur ( i unfortunately had to dictionary.com that spelling) of some sorts. Wine here is suspiciously cheap, and yet with just enough range to whet the average hillbilly's appetite for some remote form of 'class'.
So shopping the isles, trying to select what is good to start out with can be to say the least a daunting task. Luckily, i had the power of advertising on my side:



Hey, wine of the year can't be all that bad! and for 4 bucks?! What do i have to loose?! Hahahaha.
so this wine is apparently a dessert wine, and goes good with asian food. Hey hold the phone! thats what i am having for lunch tomorrow! *GRIN*

So we will see - with the help of the internet and walmart, if this season can change me from a wine weiner to a fermentation figaro.

Good night everyone!!

Are we human?

Some songs you fall in love with the moment you hear it. This was one of 'em.

The killers - a non-ambiguous band with very ambiguous and catchy lyrics.

Initially, the lyrics seem to just stretch out and contain as much direction as a

schizophrenic lemming with a blindfold, but with a tad more introspection they

seem to unveil a deeper meaning - in fact a deeper more poignant cry.

Hell - the lyrics and the melody are just plain awesome!

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line

Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?


Pay my respects to grace and virtue

Send my condolences to good
Hear my regards to soul and romance

They always did the best they could

And so long to devotion
It taught me everything I know

Wave goodbye, wish me well You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?


Will your system be alright

When you dream of home tonight
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?


Are we human or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold

And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

You've gotta let me know
Are we human or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

Are we human or are we dancer?

We are not the main actors. =)

Its been such a long time since i wrote. Lazy lazy lazy. . . . .

At church, a friend was mentioning how a friend of his was once in a movie. A big movie at that - Pirates of the Carribbean. He continued to say how this friend of his was so excited about being in a movie, that he made all his friends (my friend included) go watch it and see if they could spot him.

At the end of the movie (which i personally felt was boring) my friend (called Hugo for simplicity and character trackings sake) quipped that he did not see a hint of his friend in the movie at all. This friend however insisted that he was in it.

A month or two down the road, the DVD hits stores, and this enthusiastic fella rounded up Hugo and a bunch of others over to his home (under the guise of some form of CG gathering) and when the snacks were served and the guests were lulled into a false sense of security, he played the movie again for them!

And at one scene, where the sea creature / pirate men stormed aboard the ship, he cried out "there i am!". Apparently he was an extra with a 'dying' scene, where he is shihs-kebab'ed by a human steamboat entree'.

the point i am trying to make?

Sometimes we live our lives as if this whole world revolved around us - the main character. But this misconceived casting will inadvertantly spoil the 'show' for many - and will definitely ruin it for us.

As important as we feel our lives are and as important as we view the issues we face are, we are not the main characters of the story of the earth, and of creation. We are at most calafe' and extras, in this articulate and intricate play which we call existence.

Duh right?

But we all tend to steer towards coursing on and walking our paths as if the convergence of the latter was up to us.

Maybe we all need to rerun the movie of our lives, and see if one annoying character seems to seek a little more attention then neccesary.

Thank God for the Editor. =)

Good night everyone.
