so who are we really?


How often do you do a name search on yourself only to find that you are out there doing incredible things. I looked up a friend from highschool only to find not much. I looked up my name and I'm out there doing some interesting things. If I add the "t" to scot I am even pitching incredible baseball at the U of A. So many people look at the name as to the thing that really represents them. Like we are supposed to take this name that someone gave you and keep it and make it into something. Why? Are we not more than a name? I guess that depends...some people need the name like Bush's baked Beans and believe me those beans are baked. I kinda like the idea of giving names. After all the native peoples here did that....although I'm not sure if I'd like mine. It would be something like "One who speaks his mind at the expense of someones elses happiness, but induces laughter" or "One who says 'You should do this", or the obvious "One who drinks too much and becomes the worlds greatest misunderstood philosopher." Anyway... for those of you who might read this? Why is it that changing our name is so difficult? After all Madonna is now Edith. We might not like it, or love it, but we dont' have to live it. What would your name be if you could change it, or had to change it? To sum it up, Are we really the name our parents gave us?

Sometimes you just have to pinch yourself. As you get older, you most likely have more to pinch. Not just in the tire around the waist, but the experiences you have. My friend Paul says Karma comes around and when your a good person things just happen for you. I guess it is reassuring that I must be an okay person to get to experience all that I do. What is more important is to be able to pinch yourself and remind yourself how special you are and how special your life is. Click READ MORE for the full experience

pressure


I cant' take it...the pressure. Is it me, is it you? Is it real? No, it isn't!

okay...pressure as defined by wiebstyrs dictionary is : your own problem...get over it! Cry baby, cry you fucking baby!

okay, so what does this all mean. we all have pressure. if your a puppet like george bush, you still have pressure. is pressure good, bad, or like oxygen. we need it to live, but we hate that it is there. it is something to blame, when we cannot breathe. yet, we may go to a bar for it, and call it creativity. yet we can only handle a certain percentage of it. that is inherent. beyond that is in our imagination that is full of fools. however, a fool, is one who perceives. his pressure. as real as needed. so why wear glasses? is it to see the iblog? or is it to see what is in front of you?

thank you carl sagan

skotworks


i have to thank Mr. Pollack for this one. we sat around thinking of a name for my business. how funny it was to find out all the things i was going through, he went through as well. like what does artichoke and cucumber salad translate in italian, and wouldn't that be a cool name. or how about the hungarian word kutchafang? that would be a great name, wait that means "dog fart." then to go on line to see if someone has already taken it. you mean someone else has the name "Bill Smith?" how unbelievable! in the process i found an editorial titled "if you knew sushi ," i wrote to the Tucson Weekly about their "Best of Tucson" Sushi. i also found another scot burns who is in charge of some state of arizona drug thing. obviously not me. anyway, back to skotworks. nobody liked yuzz, and i had to go get my stuff done today. skotworks just sounds cool and isn't limiting to landscape. the other thing is if you take the sk and the ks off you get a word from some slavic country, otwor. i don't know what it means but look at this pic i found with it in the title. anyone that can translate it, gets a free plant.

yuzz


so a name for a company that somehow has to reflect me in one word. i thought of supercali... or spoonfuls of sugar. then i thought the first is too long for a business card and the second would be great for a coke dealer....anyway i think (until i see something shinny) to go with yuzz. it is the first letter of the dr. seuss alphabet.

Okay, this stress me out. I would be one nonfunctioning member of society if I had no telephone (meaning also no cell phone, no internet, no instant communication). Ponder this...What would life be like with no tabasco-cheez-itz? Now there's a question.

oh the places you'll go


is little georgie a two year old

"i want everything daddie! i'm going to be the best president ever. i want a new oil rig and i'm goin to take it from little iraqi's house, cause i don't like him. in fact i'm going to beat him up because he talked about my daddie. then, mmmm, i'm going to go to church like a good boy and sing and sing and ....oh something shinny, i also want a new spaceship so we can fly to the moon. i know a bunch of people back home that can make it for me and they will be my bestest friend." son, i can't buy you all those things! "Whaaaaaa, whaaaaa, whaaaaa, that's not fair i want i want i want." it's okay son, will just let the next little boy president pay for it. you can still have your new rocket. "Yeahhh, i love you daddie." it's okay son, just remember to also open up the borders so we can let more mexicans in to clean our yard, we don't want to pay anyone here to much money. if we do they might think they'll be over for dinner next. "Ha,ha, ha dad, you are so funny. we won't have any walmart people over here....oh look something shiny."

red fish


here is a group of people that seems red today.

I believe it is probably the Martians. Afterall, Bush (himself an alien) decided to attack Mars with his proposal to send people to Mars. I am sure he would love to send Democrats, Liberals, and anyone else who tells him he can't say "nuclear" correctly, but most likely it will be able to hold only a few people. I have an idea. Lets send some rightwing religios wackos to Mars. They don't need much air because they have a huge tank of it in their heads. They can keep warm and fend off radiation with the love of jesus. I am not sure if this is fair to those peace-loving, cave-dwelling creatures. Imagine them waking up some morning and seeing someone out of nowhere smile with a book in their hand. Never mind, I am sure it won't work. One Martian will open the door, and say to the other inside, "Honey, I think we have more visitors from Ur-anus."

Hans means "god gracious" according to many of the baby sites, but i found one that means that it is another name for "john. " Not that I wanted to start my first blog word this way, but Hans will appreciate it once he goes to that site. To me, Hans is more like "oh something shiny" as illustrated in my favourite philosophy book The Tao of Pooh . for more click read more.
