WELCOME to Tuesday December 18, 2012. Paradoxes…..
From George Carlin. The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies thanever, but have less communication.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, butless fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a Great Tuesday people and whatever you do today, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman! 
QUOTES OF THE DAY
“The Army has started kicking out overweight soldiers, and they’re refusing to admit recruits that are obese. That shows you how times have changed. Back in the ’60s, you had to go to Canada to stay out of the Army. Now, you just have to go to McDonald’s.” -Jay Leno
“Steven Spielberg’s movie ‘Lincoln’ had the most nominations of any film this year. Seven. ‘Lincoln’ was nominated for best picture, best director, best beard without a mustache, and furriest top hat.” -Jimmy Kimmel
“Yesterday, the Senate floor was reserved for farewell speeches from retiring senators. Each senator received a fitting gift: a gold watch that stopped working years ago.” -Jimmy Fallon
G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….
Duck decoys, fishing rods, boots — outdoor gear of all kinds was piled high in the garage. One day I found my wife staring at the mess. “I hope I die first, so I don’t have to get rid of all this,” she sighed. “Look on the bright side,” I suggested. “If I go first, you can put an ad in the paper. When all the men come by to check out the stuff, you can pick out a replacement for me.”
Still staring at the pile, she said, “Nah. Whoever would want all this stuff wouldn’t be my type.”
Monday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory.”
Answer: Apocalypse Now! Spoken by Robert Duvall’s character to some of his men after U.S. pilots had just dropped some napalm on a nearby village. The 1979 film by Francis Ford Coppola was inspired by Joseph Conrad’s 1902 novella “Heart of Darkness” about a journey upriver on a steamer into the Congo and African jungle. This film is about a US Army assassin sent to assassinate a demented warlord and former Colonel who ruled a band of native warriors in the jungle. This movie has become a cult classic.
