Manic Monday

Lisa’s Manic Monday for May 5, 2008

What name would you want have if you were the opposite sex?
Wow! Is that a loaded for question for me, since I have already changed my name from Don to Diana.

Would you share the tooth brush of your spouse/significant other? Why or why not?
I never have but maybe in a pinch. You are already exchanging other bodily fluids, plus I wash my tooth brush after I use it.

What is a song that you love to hate?
I just hate George Thorogood – “1 Bourbon, 1 Scotch, 1 Beer”. I don’t love to hate it, I just hate it and change the station when it comes on.

I think Diana is a beautiful stately and classic name.

I can't say that I've heard that song and it sounds like a good thing!

Thanks for playing Manic Monday and I hope you're week is off to a good start.

I agree on the toothbrush deal. It's better than not brushing at all if you forget yours on a trip or something. :)

I love that song. Can't STAND Thorogood as a person, but I shore do lahk his musical skillz. I'd rewrite a large percentage of his lyrics, if I could however.

I had to laugh about your first answer.
You can change your name back, you know.

I like both names, so you just be who you are.

LOL. You cracked me up with your first answer!! :-)

Have you noticed that you made a typo in your Blogger profile? It says 'Retiried' instead of 'Retired'... I'm sorry, but I've spent half of my career as a tester, I'm prone to finding stuff like that...

Good post today. Please come visit mine.

Have a happy MM!

Diana is a beautiful name. :)
I used to really like that song when I worked as a DJ. It was long enough to run to the potty.

I don't think I have any Thorogood songs in my collection. Probably a reason for that though I can't think of it off the top of my head.

I loved your answer to #1!

I can't say that I like any of Thorogood's stuff, to be honest. That song sounds kind of annoying just by the title!

Happy MM.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
