Foreign Joke of the Week
Two Irishmen, Patrick and Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat’s provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of Patrick, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter, Patrick blurted out, “Make the entire ocean Guinness beer!” The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into rich, black porter. Simultaneously, the genie vanished.
Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness, as the two men considered their predicament. Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick, whose wish had obviously been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he blurted, “Nice going Patrick! Now we’re going to have to piss in the boat!”

Mailman Goes Postal
We all know the hilarious stories of how mailmen are constantly mistreated by dogs. Everyday they’ll walk up to your house, and place your mail in the mailbox, and what reward do they get? A lot of exercise, a taste for fear, and a lot of hatred towards mans best friend. But you can only push a postal work so far, before he himself decides to go postal, and such the case has finally occurred in Dallas, Texas.
Early morning on Tuesday August 12th, Fred Undrum, a US postal worker, was taking his normal route when he noticed a dog starting to chase him. Having had problems with this dog everyday, he knew all too well how frustrating it was to do his job with this constant nuisance. So being a postal worker, he pulled out his gun (which all mailmen carry), fired a shot in the air and started chasing the dog.
It is believed to be the first case of a mailman chasing a dog, and it has the pets’ owners angry. “It’s a dogs’ instinct, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. It’s just something that is expected, and we don’t want to see our animal mistreated in such a fashion.” We asked Undrum why he responded the way he did, and he replied “I’m not sure, to be honest. I don’t really even remember it. I just remember hearing the barking from behind me, and something snapped. I couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t know what I’ll do if it happens again, but it won’t be pretty.”
If you ask us, and I know you didn’t, we here at MMN think postal workers are greatly mistreated. We should treat them with respect and be very grateful to them for bringing us our Christmas cards, and packages, and bills… and bills… and .. ah hell… Who am I kidding? Where’s my spy camera!!?
Yea.... so I wrote that last entry with no intention of making any point whatsoever, I just happened to notice that most of my entries are pretty general, and not so thoughtful, so I thought I'd give a serious one a go.. Well I'm guessing it didn't pan out.. it took far too long to write.. and there was no feedback.. not that there usually is, mainly cuz I assume i'm writing just to myself.. which is fine I guess, it's a place to blow off steam or give news.. or whatever. if someone happens to stumble upon it, fine, works out the same, but i'm gonna write this more for myself than an explanation of what's goin on anymore.. as if you all know exactly what's going on with me already and i'm just bouncing stuff off of ya with no regard for what might come back. not that i'm gonna say stupid stuff or at least i wont' intentionally.. but more it's gonna be just a place for me to write my thoughts in a manner that's organized enough for me to understand, for as we all know, when your head is spinning so fast because it's so filled with thoughts, it's hard to get things straight, so i figure if i've got a situation like that, then that's what i'll use this for... as for right now, i don't got really anything to say or than i'll stop with that stupid bullshit that i came up with in my last entry, for that i just had the urge to do somethin like that, to be in one of those deep moods where stuff comes to you that you never really thought of.. but unless that mood comes naturally, i'm not gonna force it out like i did on that one.
so yea, i got nothin now.. i'll keep up on this more often..
'til next time.
Yes, it's true, and unfortunate.
We'd all like to hold on to what we have, for as long as we can, squeeze every last moment of the present into our lives before the it's inevitably lost forever. It's a sad truth indeed, unless of course you don't enjoy the now. But I for one hope that anything currently in my life stays, and everything else that I'll do can only grow around it. Sadly I don't know how realistic a future that would be. I don't believe it's at all possible, because things will change, guaranteed, and nothing said or done will be able to affect that it.
As such, life is best experienced when the measure of events and experience grows linearly with time, and I think the only way to fully achieve this goal is to add to what you currently have around you to the things sure to come in the future. But people come, and go, and there is always a hello and goodbye, and so for alot of people, time with e&e extend forever in a coextensive relationship. Yet it seems like it would be best to forget the goodbye, and keep saying hi to new people whilst holding on to friendships you already have. I personally know that in the past I've been really good as far as keeping friends goes. Anyone I have considered a really good friend, generally I haven't really lost touch with. But as I said, the future is inevitable, and things WILL change.
Now, it may not be as big a change as I've been claiming, but major changes aren't far away, and for the time being, I'd like to take in as much as I can while I still have a good chance.
I know people who are slowly fading away from my life, not forever, but to the point where it's really hard to hold on. My lack of any definite social connections is hindering what few things I've had to hold on to over the past few years. The band is no longer part of my life, which was my main stronghold in this battle for fullfillment and happiness. Due to that, I've succumbed to friendships almost entirely based on just talking, and rarely in person. The one place I do have the ability to change this is at SAIT where my class consists of 30 others whom I might be able to hang out with if I want. At the moment, I don't, and it's not that I don't want to, I just find it hard to befriend so many people I almost guarantee I'll lose contact with once school's over. I suppose I could make an effort to prevent that.. I suppose you could consider a person as a friend, even if you only hear from them every couple years. But for me, that's not enough. If I see anyone I've met in the past, I'll give a 'Hey, how ya doin'?', but beyond that, it likely won't go any further.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, as I sit here looking at my life, trying to discover what it is that keeps me together with these friends that I do have, what possible bond we have that will insure our friendship from now to the end, whenever that may be, I can only realize that I should learn to live life unscripted, untold. It's probably not inevitable that all current relationships will fade away. If an effort is made, there's a far better chance of holding on to them than there is if I just sat idly by trying to let it happen on it's own.
What made me think of all of this is that it seems to be just at that point in my life where longlasted relationships begin to unravel, thinning out the strand that keeps them together. People start to go their seperate ways, moving away, getting involved in anything to keep them too busy to keep in contact, growing up. I suppose it should be expected, but it's still unfortunate. You grow accustomed to living a certain way, and then all of a sudden this giant twist is thrown your way and your decision on how to handle it is really what defines you. This decision shows the kind of person you are, which dictates who you will become. This decision is totally and completely controlled by you, and if made correctly, there will be no fear as to how the present transforms into part of your future.
For now it appears the best way to act on this is to just live life one second at a time, take the little things as they're given to you, and on a larger scale, make sure the right decisions to insure you live a life filled with happiness, and create the same impact on your friends as they do on you.
So thats my insight into what I thought was a rather inane, yet prevalent topic that will take place in most peoples lives. Any insights of your own, leave a message. Thanks for reading this far despite complete ignorance on my part to have any idea about what I'm talking about.
