Ramblings of Silver Blue

Nite!

75% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score! Take the quiz to see if y’all is a Yankee or part of Dixie.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about life, blogs, music, food, religion, politics, and emotions. Did I come to any earth-shattering conclusions? Not really. Did anyone notice there’s no Top 10 music list this week? Or that the blog hasn’t had a Top 10 list in a while? That readership is down? That linkage [...]

President Bush is now expected to endorse a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages. You see, I don’t think President Bush really understands this whole gay marriage issue. Like today he said “I don’t have anything against gay guys, I just don’t want to see one of them marrying my daughter.” ~~ Tree with Heart & [...]

….contemplative Ash Wednesday to you all. I’ve been in and out of meetings and tech support functions, etc. today. Hence, no humour, no links, no love, no nuttin. What else is going on in the world? Let me know!

Thanks to Moonglow for passing these on…much needed humour on a cold wednesday morning (it’s 33F degrees outside – what does that make it, 0.5C?) “I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.” * Tom Clancy “You know “that look” women get when they want sex? [...]

Nite!

Title stolen from an Enigma song. I have a recurring dream … where I frolic with dolphins. I speak their language and they speak mine. The knowledge that is exchanged transcends what I can remember when I’m awake. That’s the thing that frustrates the hell of out of me. I realize there’s a moment of [...]

I’m having Bojangles chicken n biscuits as a celebration of Mardi Gras. What better food to enjoy than spicy cajun beak! HOw are you celebrating Mardi Gras?

What Religion is Your Bra? A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy’s and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, “I’d like to buy a bra for my wife.” “What type of bra?” asked the clerk. “Type?” inquires the man, “There’s more than one type?” “Look around,” said [...]

but stop and think: The meaning of Ash Wednesday (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/tony09.shtml) Friday, March 9, 2001 By ANTHONY B. ROBINSON SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER COLUMNIST It seems odd, in a way, that in all the Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, postmortems — radio talk shows, news conferences, editorials — few have thought to note the obvious. Fat Tuesday is not [...]

Dubya is up to his same old bullcrap again. This time, instead of lying about WMD in Iraq, spreading hysteria regarding “homeland security”, destroying the economy by taking us from the largest surplus in history to (one of) the largest deficits in history, and now… SUBSCRIBE TO THE BUSH FAMILY MORAL CODE OR BE PART [...]

The Cast (2/24/04): Silver Blue: Me. My moniker was given to me in 1990 by KPB, a fellow I consider my brother (I’m an only child). Johnny & Carol: My parents, normally called “Dad & Mom”. Roxette Bunny™ : The cutest, truest, and sky bluest bunny in the blogsphere. Came into my life with infinite [...]

Ever had someone in your life that couldn’t grasp the philosophy that “just because someone doesn’t agree with me does not mean they are against me?” Tink and I were discussing this over a wonderful meal of Mongolian BBQ last evening, and how we have several people who feel that if you aren’t 100% behind [...]

…that’s been left ticking there too long… (ok, so the original song says “Monday”) but I’m not feeling the swiftest right now; Tink’s sick, PoloRandy says he feels like he’s coming down with smoething, and I’m REALLY questioning if I feel like trying to go into work. Hw’s everyone else’s Tuesday going?

(it’s a photo of a polar bear in a blizzard) Nite!

Just because. And remember. Feel free to link to anything I post as well! Fritz provides proof that God Hates Homophobes. (We knew that…I was afraid that God hated homophones which is something sounds like something God would hate, but in fact was something different. Roxette Bunny™ posts a photo of her family. Revog will [...]

Seems a lot of people are: Michelle displays the marketing tie-ins. Fritz mentions a few things. Dorkafork is going straight to hell (after exercising, of course).

Punchbuggy responded to the rant I posted this morning about the sermon from yesterday. In case you don’t read his blog (here’s the post), I felt it in the spirit of discussion to post my comment to his post. Pray for him…not for this matter, but because there is much stress in his job, and [...]

“What do I have to do, be gay in order to get a good hair cut in this town?” Tink’s supervisor was talking to me. “After all, my Real Estate agent is part of a gay couple and HE can’t get me in to see anyone. Sheesh! I’m beginning to think I’m not A-list material! [...]

I’ve been on a bit of a kick, both at home and in the office, where I’m cleaning up and getting rid of a lot of junk. It’s clensing, not only for the work/home environment, but by dejunking my life, I’m finding serenity (or is that senility?). What do you do to find inner peace?

I was able, this past weekend, to pick up a copy of the PopArt DVD, which is a collection of 41 music videos by Pet Shop Boys. Missing, obviously, is the one-off they did as “Absolutely Fabulous”. A shame, as it’s a nice, if quirky video. I started watching with the commentary last night (late [...]

….and mean what you say. That’s what is crossing my mind for the Ramblings of Silver Blue tagline. One thing that I am is vocal on my blog. I may not say things that my readers agree with, but if nothing else it encourages conversation, debate, and thought. If I can accomplish all that, then [...]

The Virginia Senate’s version of the budget passed. My rant is here, regarding what it will do to gasoline prices. Read on for what is in store, not just for Virginia, but the entire nation this year with fuel prices. How are the tax cuts going to help THIS, Dubya?

Here’s an interesting article from ZDNet (opens in new window) that discusses what blogging is, what it is good for, and even has a quote from the leader of the Axis of Evil Naughty, Mr. Glenn Renyolds himself.
