It's Been A Long Time Since I've Walked In The Moonlight

There's An Engine At The Station And A Whistle Calls My Name

All I've Got Is A Photograph

I am trying to come up with some new and interesting places to take pictures of things.

So far my list consists of:

A small pond in Westfield, IN (You;ll see why)
The Cell Phone lot at the Indianapolis International Airport (Planes coming in and taking off, if all goes well)
Southeastway Park in Indianapolis
Some cornfields along State Road 44 in Rush County Indiana (Ideally around sunset)
Still hoping for some amazing lightning play next time there is a thunderstorm and it is dark

Any other suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I Got Ninety-Nine Problems

I have decided to compile a list of simple rules and guidelines for dealing with me.

They are as follows:

I lie to people with clipboards.

If you come to my door trying to sell me something at 9pm, don't apologize for disturbing me so late. If you really were sorry to be doing it, you wouldn't be there in the first place.

I understand that common sense is not so common these days.

Please try to speak coherently. That you try is all I ask.

If you want me to sign a petition, I might just to make you go away. If I have to give you money to sign a petition supporting a cause that doesn't affect me at all, I will slam the door on you.

On matters of opinion, I think you are just as wrong as you think I am. Don't fruit out if I don't agree with you.

I would appreciate it if you extend the same courtesy to me that I extend to you.

If you have a license, but don't know how to drive, we can't be friends.

If you are driving, and you do something stupid, i.e. cut me off and almost get me killed, I WILL throw my drink at your shiny car if I have something handy. I do have a history of this.

If I explain something clearly and concisely to you, and you don't understand, don't treat me like I am stupid. Just ask, I will dumb it down to a second grade comprehension level just for you.

If I actually like you, you will know it.

If I don't like you, chances are you will know it.

If I am not feeling well and have no patience, I will give you fair warning. Anything else is on you.

No, I most likely have not seen that movie/television show/commercial you are asking me about. Yes, I am proud of that.

I already have a sufficiently low opinion of Humanity in general. Please don't make me lose any more faith, I don't want to have to cry myself to sleep.

I've Been Selected To Orbit The Planet In A Rocket

Queen invented phone, pupils say
C-3PO and Luke Skywalker
The man in this picture was first to the Moon, some pupils believe

One in 10 children thinks the Queen invented the telephone, a survey of children's science knowledge suggests.

Others gave credit for the invention to Charles Darwin and Noel Edmonds.

One in 20 of the 1,000 pupils polled thought Star Wars character Luke Skywalker or Richard Branson had been the first to set foot on the Moon.

Some 60% of nine- and 10-year-olds thought Sir Isaac Newton discovered fire, the survey for science campaign Birmingham Science City found.

Despite these misconceptions, more children want to win a Nobel prize for science than the X Factor.

The survey of primary and secondary school children in the UK suggests there is some confusion about key scientific achievements.

Some of these findings will raise a smile
Dr Pam Waddell
Birmingham Science City

Just under a half of boys (49%) correctly pinned down gravity as Newton's ground-breaking discovery, compared with 76% of girls.

Just over a third of boys said Newton discovered fire, while the remaining 16% either said he invented the internet, or discovered the solar system or America.

Eight out of 10 boys correctly identified Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone, compared with 69% of girls.

Dr Pam Waddell from Birmingham Science City said: "While some of these findings will raise a smile, it suggests that school children aren't tuned into our scientific heroes in the same way that they might be to sporting or music legends."

She suggested it was clear that primary school children had a real interest in science.

"In fact, nearly 70% of nine and 10-year-olds would like to be famous for winning a Nobel Prize in science, yet this drops to only 33% among 11 to 15-year-olds.

"It appears children are losing an interest in science at secondary school, so more needs to be done to excite teenagers about the subject and rekindle some of their early childhood aspirations," she added.

The poll was carried out online with a panel of 1,000 UK children in early March by OnePoll.

The Stars Are Out And Shining, But All I Really Want To Know

So I bought a book called "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" because someone would not pick up her phone and talk me out of it...

Although, from what I read about it now, it is a shockingly readable and decent book.

In other news, the mother returneth on the morrow. I get to sleep in my own bed for the first time in a month!

Huzzah!

Off to do a few dishes and some laundry before passing out in a exhausted, drunken haze.

Also, took some amazing pics of, for lack of a better term, The Queen of Light taking her bow and then turning to go.

Sing To The Morning Light

The Queen of Light took her bow and then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight, and time will tell us all

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, race now to my bow

Side by side we wait the might, of the darkest of them all

I hear the horses thunder down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care, which they do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red

Oh, war is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad, mortals never know

Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black (ride on)

Sing as you raise your bow, (ride on) shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back, bring it back

At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes

Oh, bring it back, bring it back...

Given the randomness, size, and complexity that is my iTunes Library, this is more or less sane and mild. Really don't know what to make of that, honestly.

In other news, Windows reports that my primary hard disk is going to fail. This makes me glad! In a not really at all sense. I guess I will be dealing with that tomorrow.

This Old Cocaine, It Makes, Makes Me Sick

*Disclaimer*

*If the following makes any kind of coherent sense to you, I feel very sorry for you. Very sorry indeed*

There has been much in the way of weirdness as of late.

Far too much.

el President`e is my new hero.

Goodnight, Moon!

On an unrelated note. I am listening to a song that is forty-two minutes and fifty-nine seconds long. It is thus so far amazing!

I met a DJ who lived in seclusion. Reality and sobriety were her only delusions.

Anyway. People I never planned on hearing from again popping up out of the woodwork like nothing is the matter.

Also, I bought a camera!

A real camera!

An old camera!

It runs on film. And mercury batteries. That last part is sort of a problem, what with those things being illegal 'round these parts these days.

Robert Plant singing "For What It's Worth" is quite amusing, as well.

And now for random survey things:
