Erin just wrote about George Bush and the fate of our world, and she wrote something which made me laugh and laugh, and inspired this post.
…when George Bush won his first presidential election, I felt what Obi Wan Kenobi might call a “disturbance in the Force.” It was very strange. I had an instant flash, a psychic impression. It was as if the Universe itself was saying, “What just happened? That wasn’t supposed to happen. That’s not what was planned.”

I was inspired to write this due to Chancelucky’s comment here.
There’s a very interesting theory going around, that 6 million Jews died during World War II at the hands of the Nazis. It’s a theory that most people believe in, and which is promoted to great effect by the Jews themselves, particularly the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). If anyone doesn’t believe the theory, or they find evidence to discredit it, they are labelled a ‘Holocaust denier’ and either shunned, or imprisoned. Unfortunately, there are a lot of inconsistencies to the story, particularly officially, that brings into question the original theory of what the Holocaust is all about. If you search around, you can find the evidence for yourself, but I’ll try to do a bit of it for you instead.

1. Take responsibility
You are responsible for your own life and everything in it, including your own happiness. Do not blame your parents, your childhood, society, others or even life events.
2. Be flexible in your thinking
Beware of absolutist / all or nothing / black and white / rigid thinking, with an over emphasis on the words ’should’, ‘must’, ‘ought’ and ‘can’t’. Loosen up your thinking, look at alternative views, avoid perfectionism.
3. Confront rather than avoid difficulties and frustrations
Treat problems as challenges, as useful in helping you to build up a tolerance and experience. Expect change and challenges and for life to be unfair at times.

Over here I talked about how I talked online to a Nigerian woman who ended up trying to scam some money out of me. I commented that it’s “a sad day when every single contact you have with any person of Nigerian nationality has them trying to scam you of money.”
Turns out that I’m not the only one who thinks so. Have a read of this blog’s post: Why is it always the Nigerians?

My cat, Eve, decided to give us a small gift yesterday, around 5pm. Or at least tried to. However, she was banished outside, while her gift, a small bird, was rescued and put into a tissue box on top of some tissues. While Eve was outside complaining about being deprived of her carefully chosen gift, I was inside monitoring the health of the bird.
I think it had a broken leg, and it’s tail had been ripped out. It was also probably suffering various internal injuries. It failed to pull through, however, and expired around 8pm.
