A Mother Child Moment

I was walking to class today and saw these 4 kids walking so faithfully with this woman (their mother?), and it was so cute.

The woman let go for one second to brush her hair from her face, and the little kid wouldn't go any farther without her hand.

How precious.

World's Worst Jew

I hear this a lot, from all kinds of well-informed sources: my work colleague, who is Bahamian; my Malaysian assassin friend and teammate, Kelvin; my asshole ex-girlfriend Wendy, who is something Satan put on earth to piss God off; Aaron, a jew who eats so much bacon and chili-cheese fries that a hundred thousand jews have to keep strictly kosher just to balance it out; and my parents, who weep themselves to sleep each night with the realization that I will likely never marry a jewish woman.

Sure, I've got my problems with Ariel Sharon's government, the whole "peace through helicopters" farce of the roadmap, and the ear-piercing shriek of "ANTI-SEMITISM!!!" from the self-appointed guardians of judaism every time someone criticizes Israel, but I certainly see both sides. I'm not anti, i'm just apathetic about my religion. Maybe it's just a general suspicion of organized religion that keeps me at arm's length.

Anyway, I'm going home for Rosh Hashanah, and I already feel my bowels tightening at the idea of taking part in the Jewish Holidays Fashion Show and Bridal Auction that goes on this time every year. The pain is further compounded by having to sit through some single-headed bullshit spewed up by my arrogant, right-wing rabbi and doing the sit/stand thing with a busted knee for 2 hours. F that, mang.

Cats are Fabulous

The cat, Felis silvestris catus, is a small feline carnivore that has been domesticated for several millennia. The term cat most commonly means a domestic cat, although it can also be used to refer to the other members of the feline family. For example lions, tigers, jaguars and the like are often referred to as the big cats.
