Lion's Roar...To rise again and again to declare truth: 2011-03-13

Remember this...

Today may you be content with yourself knowing you are a work in progress. May there be peace within your heart and in your mind. May you trust that you are exactly in the place God made for you. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

Maybe Scarlett had something there.......or, perhaps not.

I have not posted in a long time. The truth is I have been so busy trying to make a living, I have had little time to do anything else. But as of yesterday, I retired from trying to make a living...now, I just plan to make time to live.
Spring will dawn with the new day tomorrow (Sunday March 19, 2011). I plan to spring forward tomorrow as well. I spent Friday and Saturday making big changes in my life. I spent Friday afternoon, evening, and Saturday morning in Memphis, Tennessee. Saturday afternoon finds me back in the tiny town of Pontotoc, Mississippi---with not too much on my mind except what I will do with the rest of my life no matter how long or short it may be.
All my tradition has gone down the tubes with the old me who was overworked, underpaid, and taken for granted....Chances are good there will be no more holidays, no more life as usual....I hated life as usual...I will now make life...unusual...for me anyway...You see, most other people have fun in life...somewhere along the line...now, it is my turn...sounds a wee bit on the way to selfish...I don't care.
I guess that is all I have to blog about today...but then tomorrow is another day and I may or may not think about tomorrow.

The Platinum Rule...

Tobias, Snorks, Kenetta, Ringo, Wendall, Yang, Dylan, Mullett, and Ying

Place your cursor on the aquarium and click to feed the fish. Your cursor will leave Purina Tabor Perch Chow as you click. The fish will feed.

Tobias and Snorks are Siamese Twins..their progenitors originated in Siam, now known as Thailand, Tobias and Snorks are not "conjoined" siblings. Tobias is the male Pink (redish) Siamese Tabor Perch. Snorks is the Gray female Siamese Tabor Perch. (Gray Tabor Perch are actually an albino of the Pink Tabor Perch....The Gray tend to be much more intelligent than the Pink according to studies done by the Institute of Fish with Scales Psychological Testing and Development from the University of Prague.)
The two Black Tabor Perch are cousins. Kenetta is the female named for a friend of mine who is absolutely genius at everything she does. She (the friend, not the perch) is writer of political commentary and satire and has a fairly large following. Ringo is her male cousin who depends on Kenetta to teach him the ropes of being a big fish in a small pond (aquarium).
The Green Tabor Perch is Mullett, the Orange is Dylan, the Blue is Wendall, and the White is Yang. Yang is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her Black counterpart, Ying. Keep watching this space as Ying is due to arrive from Thailand in a few days.--YING HAS ARRIVED..05/21/10
When kept in captivity in a small environment, Tabor Perch usually stay quite small. In the wilds of nature, however, they become quite large...specimens as large as 6'5" in length with girths up to 60" have been netted in Asian rivers. In nature, the Tabor perch feeds on other fish, hyacinth, and small wading game. They all have a voracious appetite, but in captivity, they are fairly tame as long as they receive an ample supply of Purina Tabor Perch Chow.
Federal Game Wardens have recently reported sightings of the larger of the species in domestic waters.

Men are like unto fine wine. They all start
out like grapes,and it is a woman's job to
stomp on them and keep them in the dark until
they mature into something with which you
would want to have dinner.

A day without laughter is a day which is wasted…

∙A sense of humor…is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. -Hugh Sidey-(Journalist, Life and Time magazines; author Time Hugh Sidey's Portraits of the Presidents.

∙Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. -Francis Bacon, English statesman, scientist, lawyer, author

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is, most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey–delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” -Jenkins Lloyd Jones
