Haymaker

You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.

You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.

Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.

What kind of humanist are you? Click here to find out.

Update: I'm not really an athiest, but the description fits pretty well otherwise..

Hi All! My name is Lodi, which is short for Little Orange Dude [am I]. I'm diminutive but I'm also quite intelligent. Here is a recording of Mr Spock talking about me... Mr Spock regards Lodi
Well, if I'd have only changed that combination eh? heheheh. I'd be eating something other than Ocean Whitefish and the occasional mouse. But that was another lifetime ago..
Well for this year I have resolved to reduce my appetite for Mice, as well as beef up my body so that I'm as big as the other cool cats around here. Some of them were guest bloggers in November - 05, (if you don't see them on the main page anymore).

All this typing is making me hungry. Well, in closing here is my advice for 2006. Pick something to improve about yourself and just do it. Once you've done it once you'll find out how easy it was and maybe you'll do more. As I always say "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was". heheh (That one is for the ladies out there...)

Yesterday's Poem

2005-11-29T18:37:00.000-08:00

My name is Monique la Femme. I am quite unique. I am magnifique. I am very pretty. I am an expert tree climber, and in the summer, I fill my parent's house with butterflies so I can watch them up close. I love butterflies.
Alphonse is my brother. Don't pay too much attention to his mafia talk. He is a big pussycat.

Do you think I am adorable? I do.

When you pet me, I stand on my tip toes like a ballerina. In the morning, I will visit you in the shaving room so that you can brush my furry little cheeks with the special brush, then watch as you sprinkle water on yourself and dry it off with the big towel. I'm still here waiting for more brushing by the way...

Tomorrow's Poem

2005-11-24T18:47:00.000-08:00

My name is Alphonse
I'm also a cat
I'm fat
I'm big and orange and I purr a lot
I'm like a big fat happy head of a cat mafia family
I'm very nice and will let you cut in and eat my food if you want.
But really do me wrong and you might wake up sleeping next to the head of a mouse.
Purrow.

Today's Poem

2005-11-23T06:18:00.000-08:00

My name is Little Bear,
I am a cat.
My dad opens the blind and I see birds at the feeder,
I want to paint their little faces.
Alright, Alright, I want to eat them.
But which one am I?

I know several certified Accordion Players who are in need of some moonlighting work. Their cars were recently destroyed and they had let their insurance lapse. They are quite good and come with my personal recommendations. Simply place an add in the classifieds 'Accordion Player Needed'.

** Update: Those wishing accordion players for Duck Hunting will need to provide full body armour and ear plugs for the player. Thank you in advance Monsieurs and Madams.

Some Good Krishnamurti Quotes

2005-11-07T16:09:00.000-08:00

The function of education is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time.

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.

Meditation is to find out if there is a field which is not already contaminated by the known

What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society
