Reminiscing

Big night for me! 2 posts! Too bad they are cheap video postings :)

Continuing with the cheese factor: Friends Forever, by Zack Attack (of Saved by the Bell fame).

Too many of my after-school hours were spent watching this show growing up. Not that I have regrets, but the amount I know about Saved by the Bell may exceed what I know about some of my family members. Hmmm...

But with these outfits and over-exaggerated facial expressions, how can you not love the SBTB gang?

Hilarious video (to those who enjoy cheesy things like me)

Witness what we get when we combine a Snuggie with the infamous Macarena...

The Snugarena--the best/worst 30 seconds of your day!

Kate plus 8

Just saw an ad on TLC for Kate Plus 8. Apparently on the next episode, the brood goes to a chicken farm to harass chickens. And Kate makes very attractive chicken noises.

Why do they get paid inordinate sums of money to have their own show again?

Dear Google News,

I don't care about Lindsay Lohan's legal matters. Please stop considering her among your "Top Stories." She is not the only celebrity with alcohol issues. Please give her some privacy and post more interesting and important news.

Thanks,
me

Rambling. What's new? :)

It is such a beautiful day!! Too bad I'm doing thesis stuff. Why is it that I'm always blogging while trying to write my thesis? :) It's very hard to stay on task with this work. But hopefully I'll get my act together soon...

I'm sorry, but this woman makes my brain implode. Obama doesn't have all the answers; nobody does. But CERTAINLY not this lady. She does not seem to be aware of this though.

Starting again

I haven't blogged in several years. I think I stopped because I don't necessarily have things of tremendous importance or intellect to talk about...but it can be therapeutic to rattle off things on your mind. And other passers-by can often offer interesting thoughts and show you new perspectives. Which I suppose is what brings me back to the blog-world.

As I sit here struggling to write a piece of my thesis, I'm distracted by thoughts of justice and fairness. (Which is kind of rare considering I usually waste my time perusing mind-numbing celebrity gossip sites and Wikipedia.) I am no philosopher, but every day it seems that our world would be better off if we as human beings placed a higher priority on justice in our actions.

Fundamental to justice, I suppose, would be a solid concept of right and wrong. Therein lies the problem, since in our world in which different cultures and beliefs are continually blending, the lines between right and wrong (which may have been previously established for many people) are now becoming blurred. While people could argue all day about whether this is "good" or "bad," the bottom line is that it seems to preclude the possibility of a consensus on what is right and wrong.

So what do we do with that? This is not a new phenomenon; people have struggled with choices and disagreement since the beginning of man. But when faced with a situation in which individuals must decide the best course of action in accordance with their personal sense of right and wrong, what informs their decisions? For many, it seems to be religious/spiritual beliefs. For others, it can be the welfare of the community or the collective group; still for others, it can be the goal of maximizing personal gain.

Are any of these things inherently more "right" than others?

It is fascinating to look at the thought processes and past experiences that factor into people's concepts of justice, fairness, and general decision-making.
