The next time someone jokes about you... turn it into a sales pitch.
Way to go, Chuck.

For those of you not living in a cave that has no broadband, Supr.c.ilio.us has some great web 2.0 related additions:

My favorite: Chuck Norris doesn’t search Google. He just stares at the screen until Google pops the website he needs.
This blog is hilarious... There's no reason why it should have half the RSS subs I do. You should go subscribe to their blog now, or Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick you in the face.
I'm finding myself glued to Indian music videos on Channel 73 this morning. This isn't the first time I've flipped through and stopped to listen and watch.
I have no idea what they're singing about and a lot of the dancing looks like its a fight between the Jets and the Sharks from West Side Story. What's with the dancing in big groups? There also seems to be a lot of rising overhead shots of guys singing with outstretched arms and shouting towards the sky... sort of like Kirk yelling "Khaaaan!" in Star Trek II.
But yet, I can't stop from bopping along. This is great stuff.
Music truly is the international language. Attractive female Indian dancers don't hurt either, admittedly.
So, if anyone has any recommendations as to some of this stuff I should be listening to, let me know.
From my buddy Ryan...
There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" A week later, the horse returned with a herd of horses from the hills and this time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, "Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?"
Then, when the farmer's son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck. Not the farmer, whose only reaction was, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?"
Some weeks later, the army marched into the village and conscripted every able-bodied youth they found there. When they saw the farmer's son with his broken leg, they let him off. Now was that good luck or bad luck?
Who knows?
I don't drink coffee, but this is interesting nonetheless.

Heather, who went to the Superhero's Ball as a our defense against the forces of evil bunnies, had some thought provoking words on her blog tonight:
"It's easy to love being in love, and when you're fresh out of it, you definitely feel an emptiness where something once was. But I know better than to seek it out from the past. One of the greatest pieces of wisdom a woman can have in dealing with a man is to know that you cannot change him. And you should not. The only harmless woman influence is to help him dress better. And of course if he's a good one, he will learn from you and you will learn from him to both be better. But never ever push against a man's nature. If you don't like him, or your situation with him, as is, don't bother liking him at all. If he'll ever change, let him do on his own time, and out of his own volition."
