My local news anchor has retired as news anchor today. She is the first female co-anchor in evening news in a major market, (even an anchor of nightly news before Barbara Walters became co-anchor of the Today show.) She has always been my TV anchor for my entire life. She has been on the tv longer than I've been alive. 46 years she has been with NBC news, she also was the fill in for the Today Show co-anchor (was offered co-anchor for the Today show after Jane left-she turned them down.)

Wow! It is exciting that she could last that long but I am sure very sad for all of her regulars that she is leaving. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

Today I am in the library cleaning out my first yahoo email address ever. It was up to almost 4000 emails. Most of them from Dealfinder. I have got it down to a cool 1500. I have not been on this email account in forever. (But since I had the same telephone # I was able to get back on.)

History trivia: This painting in the US Capitol Building depicts George Washington as a god. Find out more about this unique painting Italian artist Constantino Brumidi was asked to paint a mural in the dome of the United States Capitol Building. Brumidi painted for many of the wealthy in Italy before he immigrated to America to continue painting, and he spent the remainder of his life doing work in the Capitol Building. Brumidi completed the painting he was asked to create and named it "The Apotheosis of Washington." Apotheosis is the glorification of a person on a divine level. He decided to depict Washington this way because he was America's first president and lead the Continental Army to victory during the American Revolution. Washington is surrounded by other figures from classical mythology, along with 13 other maidens with stars above their heads to represent the thirteen colonies. If you look closely, a number of these maidens have their back faced towards Washington. This was to represent the colonies that withdrew from the Union at the time the painting was drawn. Furthermore, there is an outer circle around Washington and the maidens that is barely visible when looking up at the painting from the main floor of the Capitol Building. There are also six different scenes that represent different national concepts that make up the United States. The six different scenes start at Washington's feet and include war, science, marine, commerce, mechanics, and agriculture. Brumidi added these scenes to show what powers the United States. So, next time you are in our nation's capital, be sure to look up when entering the Capitol Building! | |

This is also why I believe that we should find out who they are asap and get them the hell out of public schools and some private schools so that their "normal" classmates do not drive them bat shit crazy for real.

I went to see the movie Maleficent.
God, I want to be Maleficent for real. She flew so fast and fierce. She was the female superhero I always wanted to see. Why is it that when a woman superhero is tough and sexy, she is bad? Wonder woman is the exception. Loved everything about Maleficent! There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

I think every human and animal wants to be good.
So, the ruthless folks can easily lie to those with a conscious.
They tell themselves it's okay, because if they don't do it, somebody else would do it. These kind of lies and cognitive distortions serve them to keep their own self image in tact. Remember, they think of themselves as good humans.
Or is it just a matter of waiting till those without a conscious have ruined planet earth? 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Same as the origin of religion. The original ideas and symbols came from a good heart. However, then the Romans used it as a mean to control people in an easy and cheap manner. And since then, many other individuals with the same need for control and power have enrolled their own interpretation or religion for that same cause. To feel morrally better than others and grow a system and install institutions that are effective to control large groups of people. I truly belief that most religious people are good people. They want to be good and wholeheartedly belief every word spoken by the pastor (or whatever title the leader gives himself).
However, in the end, I also think it's great to be rich and buy expensive stuff and have everybody love you, just because you have money. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |
