"Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it."

-James A. Garfield (1831 - 1881)

Did you know: Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents.

Thought of the day: CLICK & LOOK AT THE PICTURE (not food) FIRST BELOW. THEN READ THE CAPTION.

Food for thought:

Snicker Bar Pancakes
Three buttermilk pancakes topped with chocolate syrup, caramel, peanuts and whipped cream.

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

The picture was taken on a mobile phone and the little girl you see
crying refused to go into the group as she said the little boy was
scaring her. Thinking very little of her tantrum the little girl's mom
(who took the picture) later discovered what the little girl was crying
for. Look closely at about Knee high between the 2nd and 3rd girl in
from the left. That I suspect is the reason the little girl was crying.
See it??? (Damn you Cathy for sending me this.)

If it freaks you out. This ad will make you happy.

Chad and I went to Subtext on Friday to check out El Ten Eleven. We were bummed we missed the movie premiere but the show was still awesome.

Perfect setting: clear sky and nice and cool.

I finally finished this story of an amazing true story. I recommend it to those who appreciate how different life was in the early 1900s and the strength, endurance, and mental fortitude of humans.

"I don't want a girl who can dance. I want a girl who's slutty."

-Can't tell. Hahahahahaha!

Did you know: Lobsters have blue blood.

Thought of the day: I'm torn between whether I like the remakes of old movies, TV shows, and/or stories or if they just ruin them. To see shows like Transformers, comic books like Spiderman, stories like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde remade and redone I'm always excited to see what I imagined as a kid come to life. But on the other hand details must be left out that I expect and I'm partially let down. So now I go into these movies w/ uber low expectations and come out mostly stoked. So here's to a new line of movies coming out.

Food for thought:

Marsala Ramen

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

This classic is classic for even the classics!!!

The special effects weren't too shabby for back in the day.

Let's hope for a good one.

-Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)

Did you know: All the shoes in Mira Mesa Willys Workshop are 60% off!!!

Thought of the day: I read this and thought it was funny.

One day a first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part where Chicken Little warns the farmer. She read, "...and Chicken Little warns the farmer and said, "The sky is falling!" The teacher asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?" One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking talking chicken!'"

Food for thought:

Did you know: A group of frogs is called an "army".

Thought of the day: I find random things awesome. These frogs are well.....awesome.

Food for thought:

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

The atelopus frog is known by many names such as the clown frog or the Costa Rican Variable Harlequin Toad. Whatever you call the frog, it is a neo-tropical toad that was once quite wide spread living throughout Costa Rica and Panama. The species is listed as critically endangered and is thought to be living primarily in Panama today.

Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum, also called as glass or crystal frog because you can see through its transparent flesh (right down to its guts). This guy's not new, but he's definitely endangered, so the find is heartening for environmentalists.

The ornate horned frog can grow up to six inches long and inhabits Uruguay, Brazil, and northern Argentina. While it may look like a lifeless pincushion, it's quick to lunge when lizards, small rodents, birds, or other frogs blunder by.

Poison dart frog, like this sapphire-blue species, is the common name of a group of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae which are native to Central and South America. Unlike most frogs, species are active during the day, and often exhibit brightly-colored bodies. Although all dendrobatids are at least somewhat toxic in the wild, levels of toxicity vary considerably from one species to the next, and from one population to another. Many species are critically endangered. These amphibians are often called "dart frogs" due to indigenous Amerindians' use of their toxic secretions to poison the tips of blowdarts.

As suggested by the name, the Red Mantella has a orange/red dorsal surface. These frogs are small, reaching a size of 2.5 centimetres (1 in) in length. It is is a small, terrestrial frog native to Madagascar.

Did you know: The poison-arrow frog contains enough poison to kill 2,200 people.

Thought of the day: Looking back at these pictures I remember seeing so many old friend from middle/high school to Fullerton at HOB that I didn't even bother taking pictures and just ended up drinking a lot more than expected. There was a whole lot of fist pumping in Legends Lounge as far as I mems.

Food for thought:

-George Eliot (1819 - 1880)

Did you know: According to Genesis 1:20-22, the chicken came before the egg.

Thought of the day: I am a heffer. One of my days off all I did was sleep, read, watch TV, eat Deli Stop, work the Shop, and then eat Deli Stop again. What can I say, it's my American Tajima.

Did you know: Earth is the only planet NOT named after God.

Thought of the day: The wind is a silly thing. Monday night I was illin eating my spaghetti and ghetto gourmet while watching "Yes Man" when I got a call from Kimtan to go to Tajima. I dunno if it was the movie telling me to say yes or the beers but I went anyway even though I was completely full. Thanks for covering me Hannah. Everyone say, "Yeeeeesssssssssssss!!!"
