"I got married for all the wrong reasons," she says in the film documentary. "My husband did not turn out to be everything I had imagined him to be. I just wanted to end everything." How did she cope? Madonna came to understand that her expectations for marriage were not realistic. "There is no such thing as the perfect soul mate," Madonna explains. If you think someone is perfect, she advises, "You had better run as fast as you can in the other direction. Your soul mate is the person that pushes all your buttons. The person who [bleeps] you off on a regular basis and makes you face your [bleep]. ...I thank God every day that I married a man who makes me think. That is my definition of true love." --- thus spake The Madonna

pulpculture Says stuff about technorati --- November 1st, 2005 at 11:31 am -- piet Says: ------- don’t trust that place I don’t. Blogs that rank (blogflux) a 4 are still worth nothing if technorati (and the cute smile opp guy) don’t like you. I tried using technorati (mainly in searches for Ward Churchill) and run into anything from juvenilesque naive to calloused and assinine right wing sites.

But hey, if it makes people want to have a business blog because it’s the hottest thing since sliced white bread, then I’m game. I’m a shameless bitch like that.

culture labiant points me to a blog that looks good:

categories there: Kids - Oil - Parenting - The State - War -- from the smallish linklist: differenzmaschine.blogsome.com/ this one requires

one specimen from labiant lass her siterings:
waveflux.net/archives/001717.php Brace yourself for "Blogging: Don't forget your paper bag" wherein a concluding paragraph that goes (out) like this: "Still, I can't argue with Atrios' suggestion of anonymity for people testing the blog waters, which are cold, murky, and turbulent. And the undertow is a
bitch. You'll irritate some people who'll say anonymity undermines credibility on a given subject, but you're probably the best judge of whether that's so. Besides, irritating people seems to be a large part of what blogging is all about." emphasis by piet

(I Ching Shamanic Oracle of Change, commentary to line one, Hexagram 17) ---------- Rinri, the Japanese word from which this Newsletter derives its title, means ethical enlightenment. As we approach the closing of the cycle, the need for a global ethical enlightenment has never been greater, especially since we have entered the Way of Wielding Power. The nation most in need of such enlightenment is the United States of America, the most benighted nation on Earth. Hello, America, is anybody listening? 2012 is just around the corner. It's not too late to choose the path of the future, the path of Thirteen Moons, and forsake your identity as Americans. It will be good for the planet if you can do so.

http://hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org/archives/006726.html Nick: 'Problem solving' (rock grinding and solubilizing it with rain and plant sap) seems right, but what is a 'problem' other than a place-holder for a yet undiscovered solution? A productive innovation retrospectively exposes a prior problem that need not have been recognized as such in advance. The merely definitional and the substantive slide into each other easily in this area. ----- your last line gains valence if you allow interpretation of the cryptic 'problem solving' thusly: rock grinding and solubilizing it with rain and plant sap.

US Military Cowardice Costing Civilian Lives Posted by Mr Manifesto on 09-26-2004 02:21 AM: This is what happens when you're too gutless to send ground troops after enemy forces, leaving it to 'extremely precise' airstrikes instead. Civilians get killed, every time. Yet there are still those who say that the US military are going to great lengths to minimise civilian casualties.
Don't make me laugh.
