Surgery.

It is amazing what surgeons can do nowadays.

With machines that are a hundred times more precise than a human's hand, controlled by the world's greatest computer, the human brain, they can go inside our body and fix what is broken.

There may not be the technology or the knowledge to fix everything yet, but with new discoveries coming out on a daily basis around the world, we are getting closer.

Tomorrow, if it's broken, it can be fixed.
If it's not broken, it can be improved.
If it's been improved, it will again.

Your Life Path Number Is 5

5 You are very versatile, adventurous, and progressive. With a 5 life path, you are one of those people who is always striving to find answers to the many questions that life poses. You want to be totally unrestrained, as this is the sign of freedom and independence. You abhor routine and boring work, and you are not very good at staying with everyday tasks that must be finished on time. You are, however, a good communicator, and you know how to motivate people around you, perhaps inclining you to be a teacher of some sort. A love of adventure may dominate your life. This may take the form of mental or physical manifestation, but in either case, you thrill to the chance for exploration and blazing new trails. You are apt to be multi-talented, but just as likely to suffer from some lack of direction, and there is often some confusion surrounding your ambition. On the average, the number 5 personality is rather happy-go-lucky; living for today, and not worrying too much about tomorrow. It is important for you to mix with people of a like mind, and try to avoid those that are too serious and demanding. It is also important for you to find a job that provides thought-provoking tasks rather than routine and redundant responsibilities. You do best dealing with people, but the important thing is that you have the freedom to express yourself at all times. You have an innate ability to think through complex matters and analyze them quickly, but then be off to something new. In the most negative application or use of the 5 energies, you could become very irresponsible in tasks and decisions concerning your home and business life. The total pursuit of sensation and adventure can result in your becoming self-indulgent and totally unaware of the feelings of those around you. In the worse case situations negative 5's are very undependable and self-serving.

HUMOROUS GRAMMAR RULES

1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.

2. Never use a preposition to end a sentence with. Winston Churchill, corrected on this error once, responded to the young man who corrected him by saying "Young man, that is the kind of impudence up with which I will not put!

3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.

4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)

6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.

7. Be more or less specific.

8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies endlessly over and over again

10. No sentence fragments.

11. Contractions aren't always necessary and shouldn't be used to excess so don’t.

12. Foreign words and phrases are not always apropos.

25. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas

26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed and use it correctly with words’ that show possession.

27. Don’t use too many quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations.. Tell me what you know."

28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a billion times: Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly. Besides, hyperbole is always overdone, anyway.

29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.

30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

31. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

32. Who needs rhetorical questions? However, what if there were no rhetorical questions?

43. In good writing, for good reasons, under normal circumstances, whenever you can, use prepositional phrases in limited numbers and with great caution.

44. Avoid going out on tangents unrelated to your subject -- not the subject of a sentence -- that's another story (like the stories written by Ernest Hemingway, who by the way wrote the great fisherman story The Old Man and the Sea).

45. Complete sentences. Like rule 10.

46. Unless you're a righteous expert don't try to be too cool with slang to which you're not hip.

48. You'll look poorly if you misuse adverbs.

49. Use the ellipsis ( . . . ) to indicate missing . . .

50. Use brackets to indicate that you [ not Shakespeare, for example ] are giving people [ in your class ] information so that they [ the people in your class ] know about whom you are speaking. But do not use brackets when making these references [ to other authors ] excessively.

51. Note: People just can't stomach too much use of the colon.

52. Between good grammar and bad grammar, good grammar is the best.

53. There are so many great grammar rules that I can't decide between them.

A total charmer, it's hard for people to say no to you. Irresistable and attractive, you have no shortage of love interests. Totally competitive, you tend to thrive in stressful enviroments. A peaceful soul, you avoid conflict at almost all costs. Sometimes you try too hard to please those around you. But you have a great inner strength that helps you bounce back easily.

What is Your Rising Sign?

You Are Best Described By...

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

What Famous Work of Art Are You?

got pretty fake nails today... slightly painful and fingers have become useless, but at least it looks good.

ooo... the chlorine

i have officially been working my cute little butt off. yes, for your information i am actually quite proud of my bum. lol. i worked saturday, sunday and monday... and maybe thursday from the looks of it. i definitely like the money that is going to be coming my way, but i am truly mentally exhausted. i realized after getting a few pointers to start, i have actually become quite a good swim instructor. i am not trying to toot my horn, but i was able to pick all the mistakes out, fix them, and i was able to teach bent-arm front crawl in 10 minutes, that's pretty damn good. yay me! teaching is actually quite tiring, i know, i m not really swimming or anything, but i actually have to use my precious brain to figure out a way to teach whatever so that the kids could learn it quickly and efficiently.

i am really liking my shift tonight. lol. mike is amazing, i am so glad i knew him from before, so basically i don't really have to do anything but just tell people to take off their shoes, chat with people, and occasionally correct stupid people because they suck. the instructors at campbell on monday nights for this session sucks ass big time, first off most of them are asian males, so they are being faggoty as hell, and secondly they just can't teach, the kids don't listen to them, they try to make themselves sound smart by using big fancy words that the kids don't understand, which is utterly useless. thirdly, they are lazy as crap, yes i know i am lazy but when i teach i use up all the time so they actually learn all the required skills, not just play games for the last 5-10 minutes, and that just cause the parents to complain for wasting their money on playing games. oy... o well, mike can bitch at them, i am just going to do my job so i get a good review at the end of the session, make mike happy and i can just breeze through monday nights by doing nothing.

a special shoutout to lee lee lee who bought me 2.5 kg (about 20 bucks) of candy, the sour heart candy that are absolutely yummy. lol. so good. and i am shaking my fist at ofer for hogging my lee to do his stupid pingus program. =P congrats to my cuddlebear for finishing pingu ahead of everyone else.

um... upcoming events:

tuesday - music test
wednesday - philosophy test + concert (boo...)
thursday - english test + work
friday - church
