Deep Fried Brains

The heat of the last few days has taken its toll, I'm afraid, and has lead to a plethora of staccato thoughts:

A true hero doesn’t know he’s a hero; he only knows he has done the right thing and doesn’t get what the hoopla is all about.

If Mohammed, Jesus Christ and Buddha were alive today, they wouldn’t want to be.

A fear of dying frequently corresponds to a fear of living.

Technology is fabulous but its primary function is to help us expand our knowledge base; nothing can replace actual synapting axons and dendrites.

Always remember that the one who saved Middle Earth didn’t need to be a warlock, witch, wizard or elf to do so.

You are entitled to not believe in a higher presence or higher purpose, but you are not entitled to deride those who do.

Being old does not guarantee that you merit the respect you think you deserve.

Never put laundry detergent in the dishwasher.

Is it bravery when there is no alternative?

Religion may be for the masses, but belief is for the privileged.

Aging is nature’s idea of an ironic joke that too few people know enough to laugh at.

Remember, math is primarily theory.  Very little of it can actually be proven.

Escapism is the most direct route to reality.

Only the guilty have need for redemption.

Time is wasted on those who count their seconds.

Show me a contractor who finishes on time, and I’ll show you a contractor who is never without contracts.

If you can’t laugh at yourself you’re doomed.

A little bit of enlightened self-interest goes a long way.

People who think they are too old generally are.

A project will usually take at least three times as long as originally expected to complete.  If it only takes twice as long as expected to complete, consider it finished ahead of schedule.

Seek and ye shall find.  Knock and it will be opened to you.  Kick it in the butt and your path will be cleared.

Don’t mistake a smooth talker for a mystic.  Platitudes are easy to come by.  Wisdom is rare.

Time doesn’t put itself on hold for us.  If there is something in this life you really want to do then you sure as hell better do it.

Who would have believed at the birth of Star Trek that in so short a time we would be wearing those tiny communicators on our ears.

When a dream is in its embryonic stage be careful with whom you share it.  Be on guard for the jealousy of vision.

A logical deduction to the admonition “Love they neighbor as thyself” is that we must first love ourselves.

Sometimes that “winter of our discontent” can last a month of summers.

If you speak loudly on your cell phone within range of my hearing, you have earned the benefit of my input.

Everyone should learn the fine art of kicking themselves in the butt.

Never, never, never, never, never, never ask “What else can happen?” because, with a certainty, you’ll find out.

There’s no turning back once you post it on Facebook.

And I leave you with -

May you have done unto yourself what you have done unto others.

Until next time, LLAP!
