In Dramaclouds, Mother Nature isn’t even mildly perturbed, and she’s scary enough. Still, some rain would be welcome.

With Friday’s Feast still in famine mode, Suna created a meme in honor of the Summer Olympics. It simply lists eight random assertions for 8/8/08. Ideally, I guess I should post it at 08:08, which I have done so (even though I’m actually writing this a couple of days later—Ha!).
- You can prove anything through numerology if you work hard enough.
- Books are great friends, but uncomfortable sleeping companions.
- “I thought that music matters, but that’s bullocks! Music doesn’t matter, not like people matter.”
- We all learn differently. We all have different skills, goals, and aspirations. Why do schools insist on reducing everyone to the lowest common denominator?
- All of the problems in the world today can be traced directly back to overpopulation, but the real problem is deciding who has to go.
- If we don’t deal with overpopulation on our own through birth control, Nature will, and She doesn’t resolve problems kindly.
- Starvation, epidemic, and ecological collapse will eventually restore balance in Nature. That doesn’t mean humans will survive the process.
- I don’t wanna play this game any more. Waaaa! But I’ll give bonus points to the first person to cite the quote in #3.

I had to look it up, but only because I knew the quote, just couldn't remember where from (so it's not *technically* cheating) - it's from Brassed Off.
I watched it in my early days of working in a video store (Blockbuster, around 2001), when some girlfriends and I had a Ewan McGregor-fest. (Yes, we were shallow.)
#4 is a pet peeve of mine and all I can say so far is that my son is probably lucky he got me for a mother because I can convert most things into a format that works for him. (example... memorizing definitions is awful for him... turning them into images to remember and describe works great) I just hope what he learns from me now, helps him as he moves forward in life.
I’m even shallower, Tina. I got it from “Tubthumpin’” by Chubbawumba [sp?].
Dragonfly, you son is lucky that we seem to be moving into a more visual age. His learning style should be more of a strength than it would have been in the last 500 years.
I had no idea on the quote. But I sure do agree with Dragonfly.
between the move to a more visual age and the fact that he seems to have a good emotional intelligence, I think he will be in a good place as an adult. It's these years of school I need to get him through first that are going to kill me *grin*

Somehow, the rest of that song seems appropriate. “I get knocked down, but I get up again. No body’s gonna keep me down.” Maybe not so much the drinking parts of the song.
Wow, I never realized it was in that song, but I haven't heard it in forever. Plus, I remember movies better than I remember songs.
Yeah, it’s in the intro—probably sampled from the movie you cited.
