Today's Inspirational Quote

2011-02-05T00:41:00.000-08:00

The happiest people don't have everything they want. They make the most out of what they already have. Misery starts when a person looks at the 10% MISSING and overlooks the 90% BLESSING. We all have our own share of blessings. Some get them FAST. Some WAIT for a long time. What's important is, it comes at a TIME we most need it. God knows best and He will give the best in HIS OWN time.

A friend send this text message to me this morning and somehow I felt relieved upon reading it. I know this is very very true. I can say that I am in the stage of waiting for something important in my future. I know I have to wait. It will be given to me if I deserves it. Much better to appreciate all of the blessings everyday.

Trivia # 39 - Cardiff Giant

2011-02-02T18:42:00.000-08:00

Did you know...

... that today is Cardiff Giant Hoax Day? In 1870, the Cardiff Giant, supposed to be a petrified human, was exposed as a hoax by George Hull, the man who had carved the Giant out of gypsum. The Giant was named after the town where he was discovered: Cardiff, New York.

The Giant That Fooled the World

...the incredible tale of history's weirdest hoax

When George Hull left his weed-choked, debt-ridden tobacco farm outside Binghamton, N.Y., and headed west in 1868 to seek better fortune, he thought maybe he'd go prospecting for gold. But he never reached gold country. On the way, 90 years ago, he stumbled on something more precious than the yellow metal: human gullibility.

The result was one of the most successful scientific hoaxes in history. On a total investment that probably didn't top $4000, Hull netted a profit estimated at $30,000 to $60,000 -- a small fortune in those days.

Hull's hoax was the famous Cardiff Giant -- a 12-foot statue of a man, secretly made, secretly buried, and then "discovered." Hull had a fabulous double-barreled lie to go with it: It was either a petrified man or an ancient statue -- take your choice. Not only the general public, but many learned men, paid to see it and swallowed it whole.

Yes this is right. If we have this goal, we can do everything to achieve it and probably be successful in the future. If not, we could not say that we failed because in the first place, we are successful in setting the goal and doing what we could to achieve it. Having no goal at all could be ridiculous, meaning no goal, no dreams, no good life is waiting on the end of our roads.

2010-08-30T18:55:00.000-07:00

Lyrics:

I stand before you, Accused pf many crimes

But I want to believe, That love can still survive

You don’t have to say it I don’t have to read your mind

To know the emptiness that’s found a need to write

How was I to know right from wrong

Words were hardly spoken So where did I go wrong

Chorus :

Tell me honestly If you still love me

Looking into my eyes honestly

Words have more meaning If they’re said at certain times

The all they’ve seen I found to be a lie

How would you know it You won’t give me sometime

To see if everything could work out you’d be mine

O will love be lost forever but someday I will find

The world we’ve all been searching for

Or just some piece of mine

Back to (Chorus) 2x

Yeah…yeah…yeah

All the nights I sit and wonder

Must be mom too laugh I’m sure that

Days and years gone by while I am

Living with the lonely feeling

Honestly If you still love me

Looking into my eyes honestly

Lyrics:

This town is colder now I think it's sick of us

It's time to make our move I'm shakin' off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

I'm staring down myself counting up the years

Steady hands just take the wheel...

And every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh can you see what I see

They're tryin' to come back all my senses push

Untie the weight bags I never thought I could...

Steady feet don't fail me now

I'm gonna run till you can't walk

But something pulls my focus out

And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh You don't need...

What you need what you need...

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere

And I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be

Oh do you see what I see...

Lyrics:

I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me

I think I took too much

I'm crying here, what have you done?

I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support, there's a

shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes

being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me

This must be a bad trip

All of the other pills, they were different

Maybe I should get some help

I can't stay on your life support, there's a

shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes

being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill

I can't stay on your life support, there's a

shortage in the switch,

I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes

being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill
