Death Be Not Proud

Death Be Not Proud

by John Donne
(1572-1631)

---

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

What To Do In An Emergency

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY IN THE YEAR 2003

The fun thing is that these pictures are so ambiguous they could mean anything! Here are a few interpretations.

1. If you have set yourself on fire, do not run



2. If you spot terrorism, blow your anti-terrorism whistle. If you are Vin Diesel, yell really loud.



3. If you spot a terrorist arrow, pin it against the wall with your shoulder



4. If you are sprayed with an unknown substance, stand and think about it instead of seeing a doctor.



5. Use your flashlight to lift the walls right off of you!



6. The proper way to eliminate smallpox is to wash with soap, water and at least one (1) armless hand.



7. Michael Jackson is a terrorist. If you spot this smooth criminal with dead, dead eyes, run away.



8. Hurricanes, animal corpses and the biohazard symbol have a lot in common. Think about it.



9. Be on the lookout for terrorists with pinkeye and leprosy. Also, they tend to rub their hands together manically.



10. If a door is closed, karate chop it open.



11. After exposure to radiation it is important to consider that you may have mutated to gigantic dimensions: watch your head.



12. If you've become a radiation mutant with a deformed hand, remember to close the window. No one wants to see that mess.



13. If you hear the Backstreet Boys, Michael Bolton or Yanni on the radio, cower in the corner or run like hell.



14. If your lungs and stomach start talking, stand with your arms akimbo until they stop.



15. If you are trapped under falling debris, conserve oxygen by not farting.



16. If you lose a contact lens during a chemical attack, do not stop to look for it.



17. Do not drive a station wagon if a power pole is protruding from the hood.



18. A one-inch thick piece of plywood should be sufficient protection against radiation.



19. Always remember to carry food with you during a terrorist attack. At least you'll be able to enjoy a nice coke and apple before you die.

Facebook Goes Public

How to Avoid Getting Fired by Facebook

Donald Trump may have gone out and trademarked the term “You’re Fired”, but he is going to have a hard time competing with Facebook.

Everything is public. Act as though it is going to be on the front page of the New York Times tomorrow. Facebook just announced that in a matter of a few days or weeks, it will become indexed by the colossal Google search engine. People are now also able to search for listings from the welcome page without first signing up as a member. Welcome to the front page! Beware of what you air in places like Facebook, MySpace or Twitter that have become easily searchable, fairly permanent and highly public.

Potters Hands

PLEASE don't remove this photo. It is mine! Thank you!
(Shot this at free pottery day at the museum.)

The Potter's Wheel

             When you’re troubled and discouraged
        In the darkness of the night
        When obstruction clouds your vision
        And you just can't see the light.

        When life’s trials overcome you
        And you have nowhere to turn
        When you’ve reached the very bottom
        There are lessons you must learn.

        For the clay is being molded
        It’s been twisted, pulled and tossed
        It’s been rolled and it’s been pounded
        Till the ego has been lost.

        He will put you through the furnace
        You’ll be tested to the brim
        Your life will be in pieces
        Till you give your soul to Him.

        From blemish to perfection
        His hands will form the clay
        This human piece of rubble
        Must let God have His way.

        When you come to Him all battered
        In the form of mortal man
        When you cry to Him in mercy
        You will find the Potter’s hand.

        He will grind you, mold and chisel
        The friction you will feel
        Till He gently carves and shapes you
        Upon the Potter’s wheel.
