A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand, selling ties.
The Taliban asked, 'Do you have water?'
The Jewish man replied, 'I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie?
They are only $5.'
The Taliban shouted, 'Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie.. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!
'OK,' said the old Jewish man, 'it does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need.
Shalom.'
Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead.
"Your damned brother won't let me in without a tie.
I may have mentioned this before but who do the people who work at 911 call when THEY have an emergency? The guy next to them?
My Vancouver Canucks really, really let me down. That's "one of the best goalies" in the NHL? That's "a Stanley Cup contender" team? A "contender" and a "premiere" goalie should make it to the 3rd round of the playoffs at least.
I will always be a fan and cheer them on (which I did to the bitter end of the final game) but ,boy, they sucked against Chicago and Chicago took full advantage of it.
Season Finales.
Survivor : ANYBODY but Coach, PUHLEASE.
24 : no real predictions to make as I have no idea what to expect. It's been a kick-ass season and the finale previews look great, cannot wait.
Is anyone else as tired of the "free credit report.com" singer? I just wanna reach into my tv and slap him.
THe longer I work at the bar/hotel, the less I can tolerate drunk people.
So for mother's day I made my mom a card and wrote a poem for her. The card was styled the the card you would have made your mom when you were 5, you know? Crayons, backwards "y" on mommy, etc. Everyone should have a mom like mine.
I've gotten hooked on "Rock Band" lately, pretty cool game.Very addictive.
Been watching a lot of "Malcolm in the MIddle" lately. I'd forgotten how much I liked that show.
It occured to me today that, with the amount of work I do(n't) and the laid back life-style I live that I am basically semi-retired.
Freedom 45!
I recently "came out" to my family and a few close, trusted friends. The reaction (so far) has been 100% positive and supportive. (my mom's reaction ? : "Oh, I already figured that out a long time ago") however word has begun to get around in this small town as more and more people are hearing "rumors" and asking me if it's true.(which I answer truthfully) It's about to "blow wide open" in general, I think, and I will keep you updated on that situation.Did you like how I snuck that in the middle of a bunch of random things? No, it's not a joke or a prank. I am a gay man and finally at peace with it all. It would explain the excessive drinking and drug abuse over the years. Now that I've come out to the (mostly) general public I don't feel the need to continue along those lines. I'm happy and content and at peace with myself, finally.
Another thing about my job : when the beer truck comes and unloads the pallette of beer it is my job to put it away in the beer store. This was very confusing to me at first as I was more used to taking it out at the time.lol.
News item :
Scott Siegel, the actor who played Randy "The Ram" Robinson's steroid dealer in the movie "The Wrestler," was indicted yesterday for possessing and distributing steroids and assaulting law enforcement officers in a New York City suburb. If convicted, he faces up to 45 years in prison.
Somewhere I can hear Nelson Muntz going "haha"
Watched Shawshank Redemption again the other night. Is it just me or does it get even better with age? One of the best "twist" ending ever. Right up there with The Sting
I can't wait to see the new Star Trek movie. Looks fantastic and the reviews are all good. If they stopped making such cool Star Trek movies, I'd stop being a geek.
What do you do with someone who is addicted to re-hab? Have a "non-tervention"?
Dom Deluise : very funny guy, one of my favorites. His work with Burt Reynolds was great fun to watch.
Okay, take care.
Stay healthy
Stay happy

LOL at the joke. :-)
My Dad was a drunk for most of my childhood and I can't stand being around them. Brings too many sad and bad memories to the surface. I'm glad you're getting away from that life style, my friend.
As for the "coming out", you're just Alex, my friend. No judgment or slurs from me. Just acceptance and love. I'm just glad you're finding happiness and peace, darlin'.
Love and big hugs,
Diane
