Did I not say I was brooding in an impressive manner? That pretty much encompasses all the popular definitions of the word.

Brooding while brooding? Well done, sir.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I don't get it.
Asmo says he's brooding in an impressive manner but I'm not impressed so far.
The only way it would make sense is if in his boredom he's captured a Mormon door knocker and is thoughtfully stamping it with a walking fish stamp.

Cattle brand. He is branding it with a cattle brand.  ;D

Just corrected the clocks for summer time.
Thinking about the ones who had to get up an hour eariler on a sunday. And laughing about it!

Just because clocks are in agreement, doesn't mean that any of them are "correct."
Yet, given 360 degrees of solar time, I wonder if it is even possible for a clock to be "incorrect," rather than just mislocated?

Just a timely thought.

QuoteYou are your own kind of beautiful, don't change who you are. Don't be someone you shouldn't be. Be yourself.

Unless you're a jerk.  (Not you personally, yooz in general)
If you are a jerk I think you should embrace change.
If change of the self proves impossible just pretend to be nice.

You're right, but it's a nice sentence :D

If it takes a clock more or less time to count out a seond than the length of an actual second, the clock is wrong. If it just shows the wrong time, I'd say miscalibrated.

Hi Asmo (never go back regarding the demon(?))
I've known seconds that were endless, and days that were quicker than this sentence.  Time being so very relative we must "calibrate" it to something else.  And to what is that "else" to be calibrated to, etc?  It all devolves to an old song by Chicago imo.

Eh? Must have forgotten and lost track of that discussion. Where is it at?

I'm thinking about how bummed I am that I'll be spending another summer away from home.  That lull as spring turns to summer is the best part about living in a beach town, and I'm feeling very nostalgic for it.  :-\

QuoteIn medieval Europe, the pelican was thought to be particularly attentive to her young, to the point of providing her own blood by wounding her own breast when no other food was available. As a result, the pelican became a symbol of the Passion of Jesus and of the Eucharist. A reference to this mythical characteristic is contained for example in the hymn by Saint Thomas Aquinas, "Adoro te devote" or "Humbly We Adore Thee", where in the penultimate verse he describes Christ as the "loving divine pelican".

Christ is the "loving divine pelican."
Ah those whacky christians.
I would have named him otherwise, disease shedding carcass perhaps.
