Three things: William James, great psychologist or great quotability?

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

The path to cheerfulness is to sit cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.


There are lots more.

"Ultimately, we are trying to avoid the day when the consuming public asks, "Why would Hormel Foods name its product after junk e-mail?""

Have you ever wondered (a) why junk email is called spam or (b) what SPAM producers think of their trademark name being applied to junk email? Wonder no more... The internet and SPAM. (BTW the answer to the first puzzle is interesting and involves Monty Python, so do go read the page).

VINDICATED
The moment I first laid eyes on the Niagra Falls survivor, I thought "What has Ron Jeremy done to get on TV?" I realized that it was not him (only after thinking "Ron Jeremy threw himself off Niagra Falls??") and felt embarrassed that I could ID Ron Jeremy so quickly (No I've never seen any of his flicks, but I've seen him in various interviews like with The Onion AV Club). ANYWAY, I was vindicated this morning when the CNN morning show showed a clip of the guy talking about why he did it and when they cut back to the anchors, the old guy said "Doesn't that guy look like Ron Jeremy?" and Solidad said "I don't know, I guess you're a big fan... haha" [I'm paraphrasing her]. The point is that at least one non-skeazy looking old dude can back me up... Woop.

The street lights were on when I left for my study date this morning and also when I walked home after my last class. What does that mean? freakin' long day!

Okay, I'm supposed to be studying, but I just spent an hour trying to find new blogs to read as I'm getting progressively more addicted to blog reading and it's sad when there are no new posts on any of them. I'm going to be checking these blogs for the next couple of weeks:
