Great Poster...

I could not believe I found this online, I was talking to a fellow student about it and wanted to show it to her. Very clever Zen! No wonder the poster was gone in 24 hrs. Also, Johnny is irresistible so can you blame them for stealing it?
Just wanted to give props! :)

Smart girl Ms. Marylin Monroe...

I’m (a bit) selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve my best. – Marylin Monroe

Marylin Monroe knew what she was talking about. At this time this is how I feel. There is no denying that I have my flaws. I have been molded to be independent in order to survive, or at least to get out of the circumstances in which you have been placed in. My independence is a characteristic that would undeniably describe me. But with that comes great responsibility. (Like stated in the Spider Man movie : ) ) At times I feel that it is too much to handle but then I rely on my faith and figure out what is out of my control and what is.
Most of my friends know that I have a lot more of my best to offer than my worst but I appreciate those who have been there for me thick and thin.

The truth hurts...

Street smart - a term dumb people call themselves to make themselves believe that they are some kind of smart.

Religion and Science

"Also, the dedicated pursuit of scientific knowledge deserves our respect, and we should never be close-minded or dismissive of scientific claims if ever they seem to threaten our understanding of God's revelation to us." (Bishop Raymundo Pena)

I am tired of people dismissing science due to there religion. I tutor adult ESL students in science and it can be very difficult to tutor someone who blindly believes in what they were told in church. In this case I am talking about Evolution and the story of Adam and Eve. Well, since most of my students are Catholic I decided to share this quote by a well known Catholic leader in South Texas, Bishop Reymundo Peña. After they read it I had no complaints or comments when explaining the Theory of Evolution. Most of them were even intrigued with the idea that scientist found apes to be our comment ancestors.
Wow. What a difference it makes when they read that it is ok to be open-minded about such things when it comes from a religious official, specially a local one. ; )

“Space Beer”

This was a MNS headline that caught my attention. This beer is not really made in space, the barley which it is 100% made out of was grown in a five month mission in the International Space Station in 2006 sponsored by Sapporo breweries. Not being sold on Earth yet but some have had the honor to try this beer.
This is being partly funded by the Russian Academy of Science, in Japan. In my opinion the Russian Academy of Science should use its funds in better productive things. How is making beer out of out of space cultivated barley an improvement in science? Don’t get me wrong, the space program should be funded but not for useless purposes as these.

You know you were thinking the same thing...

“Holiday Wines and Liquor has all the ingredients to make your evening special,” stated in there commercial.
My response: All the ingredients? Wine, liquor, and beer. Yeah you’re right! You are safe from a false advertising law suit. That IS all I need to make my evening special.

Don't leave a trace... or DNA

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/38432/title/Household_cleaner_makes_blood_removal_simple!

Dr. Gunn had informed us a couple of weeks ago that the best way to cover DNA evidence through blood was that we should use jean material to clean up since it apparently contains a dye which disintegrates DNA. Well I just found an article which states that any "oxy" cleaner would be a good way to clean evidence since this definitely disintegrates DNA and tests negative for blood testing. This is good to know.
So note to self:
Always carry jeans and oxy-clean, you never know when it's needed. (buajaja) jk
