Toon!

I saw this little cartoon and thought it was funny ...

The Charlie Schulz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.


You don't have to actually answer the questions.

Just read straight through and you'll get the point.


1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.


How did you do ?????????


The point is none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies...

Awards tarnish.

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.


Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:


1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special !!

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.


Easier???


The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials. .The most money...or the most awards.


They simply are the ones who care the most.



HAVE A NICE DAY

Penguins

I was go enthralled over this penguin story that the end really caught me off guard ... sorry I had to post it!!!

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go?

WONDER NO MORE!!

IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE PENGUIN IS A VERY RITUALISTIC BIRD WHICH LIVES AN EXTREMELY ORDERED AND COMPLEX LIFE.

THE PENGUIN IS VERY COMMITTED TO ITS FAMILY AND WILL MATE FOR LIFE, AS WELL AS MAINTAINING A FORM OF COMPASSIONATE CONTACT WITH ITS OFFSPRING THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE.

IF A PENGUIN IS FOUND DEAD ON THE ICE SURFACE, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY AND SOCIAL CIRCLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DIG HOLES IN THE ICE, USING THEIR VESTIGIAL WINGS AND BEAKS, UNTIL THE HOLE IS DEEP ENOUGH FOR THE DEAD BIRD TO BE ROLLED INTO AND BURIED.

THE MALE PENGUINS THEN GATHER IN A CIRCLE AROUND THE FRESH GRAVE AND SING:



"FREEZE A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW

Those Crazy Swedes!

From Sweden's Got Talent - four young men perform the traditional "Dance of the Crispbread" to ancient Swedish folk songs such as "What What In The Butt" and "Kung Fu Fighting." They use the bread to cover what we can only imagine are their already impressive manhoods.

"Heal The World"

When the all-star Michael Jackson memorial ceremony in Los Angeles came to an end today, millions of fans watching the event became curious about the woman who sang lead on Jackson’s “Heal the World.” The mystery singer was Judith Hill, a Pasadena, California-based vocalist who was recruited to be one of the backup singers for Jackson’s This Is It! concerts at London’s O2 Arena. Hill wowed the crowd and the millions watching around the world with her rendition of "Heal The World."

Michael Jackson - RIP

It was not spectacular, extravagant or bizarre. There were songs and tears but little dancing. Instead, Michael Jackson's memorial was a somber, spiritual ceremony that reached back for the essence of the man. He was memorialized as a Singer, dancer, superstar, humanitarian.

I too watched the memorial today for MJ and was very moved. Even though I was not a huge fan, but did love many of his videos and music. I have been truly stunned to see how moved so many people are around the world! I guess I must live in a closet!

Brooke Shields memories of Michael were very moving, and she was so heartbroken.

At the end tears ran down my face as I listened to Micheal's 11 year old daughter Paris-Michael say a few last words about her father. "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, dissolving into tears and turning to lean on her aunt Janet. "And I just wanted to say I love him — so much."

I was very touched by the poem Maya Angelou wrote, it was read by Queen Latifah.


"We Had Him"
Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing, now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind.

Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace. Sing our songs among the stars and walk our dances across the face of the moon.

In the instant that Michael is gone, we know nothing. No clocks can tell time. No oceans can rush our tides with the abrupt absence of our treasure.

Though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone.

Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him.

He came to us from the creator, trailing creativity in abundance.

Despite the anguish, his life was sheathed in mother love, family love, and survived and did more than that.

He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. We had him whether we know who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his.

We had him, beautiful, delighting our eyes.

His hat, aslant over his brow, and took a pose on his toes for all of us.

And we laughed and stomped our feet for him.

We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing. He gave us all he had been given.

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Black Star Square.

In Johannesburg and Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama, and Birmingham, England

We are missing Michael.

But we do know we had him, and we are the world.

RIP MJ
