Should I be appalled?

Saw a special on Battlestar Galactica… Muffett the Daggett was played by a chimp?! I hope he enjoyed it… I’d hate to think it was doing it against his will..

*ponders

Ack… I can’t post replies… the journal is going to limp without fun convo!

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die.
Allo, je m’appelle Inigo Montoya. Vous avez tue mon pere; preparez a mourir.
Allo, mi chiamo Inigo Montoya. Ha ucciduto mio padre; Prepararsi a morire.
Allo, ich heise Inigo Montoya. Sie hat meinen Vater getotten; Bereiten Sie am sterber vor.
Konichiwa, ore wa Inigo Montoya. Omae wa sekushi desu ne; washi ni ferachio shite chodai.

Where did this come from?

A person is not being good by simply refusing to commit evil, in my opinion. One does good by creating more good. does that make sense? It seems these days that few people want to make a difference, and instead are saying “well, I didn’t kill anyone”… trying to make the evil they commit seem weaker in comparison. Well, of course, stealing a dollar isn’t so bad as beating someone to death. but it’s still wrong. Liars are a toughie (and admittedly personal peeve) Some folks say that ‘diplomatic lies’ are a necessary evil. I sometimes see things in more black and white terms… If someone asks my opinion, oftentimes I return with the question “do you really want it?” which sometimes offends… because they assume that I’m going to give them a negative reply. (oftentimes, they’re right. but sometimes, I want to know if they want my opinion, or for me to lie to them for validation… which I don’t generally do)

Lately I’ve been thinking on how to be a better person… I want to be the best human I can be for a few reasons.

To make her life better, and mine… and those of the folks I meet. (how conceited that sounds to me, typed out.)

I want to set a good example. I’d like to be someone that folks say “He’d be a great teacher/husband/father” (and no, I’m not fishing for compliments, here.)

I need to set up some parameters on how to do this.

Wha?

Got this in the mail *just now*—

On Monday, February 5, the New Digital Reporter began an interview series on Brad Fitzpatrick, founder/programmer of LiveJournal. (It was also Brad’s twenty-first Birthday!)

We are featuring LJ user journals weekly during the series. Your journal has been selected for the week of February 28- March 7 by one of the LiveJournal users we featured this week (February 21-27). A banner will be displayed within the interview linking to your LiveJournal. Is this OK? BTW: If you want to make your own banner, please do and send it me ASAP. Banner size: 300X90.

The New Digital Reporter is sponsored by M-2K (http://www.m-2k.com), a leading Seattle-based personal lifestyle software publisher. Because your LiveJournal will be featured next week, M-2K would like to send you one of the CD titles from the list below:

Now it is your turn: Who鈥檚 LiveJournal do YOU recommend we feature for the week of March 7-14?

We are also interested in Jpegs (300X200) with captions or commentary of you that relate somewhat to LiveJournal. To get an idea of how the images will be used, check out the site.

This week were are asking Featured LJ users to answer the following questions:

1. What does LJ mean to you?
2. How much time do you spend on LJ daily?
3. What do you like about LJ?
4. Have you always kept a journal?
5. Why do you think LJ is so appealing over other community web sites?

— end snip.

Well, that’s certainly flattering. Thanks to whoever reccomended me. *ponder* Petfish? was it you?
