I'm reading this book....

titled, "When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops". It isn't a story, it's a collection of thoughts on various things by the author, who I don't recall just now. Here's a passage from it:- UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU Things I wonder about the FBI’s list of the “Ten Most Wanted” criminals: When they catch a guy and he comes off the list, does number eleven automatically move up? And does he see it as a promotion? Does he call his criminal friends and say, “I made it Bruno. I’m finally on the list”? Does the FBI search harder for number three than they do for number seven? I would. Otherwise why have the numbers at all? These are the kinds of thoughts that keep me from making any real progress in life. and here's another:- THE CONTROL FREAKS Hello. We're the ones who control your lives. We make the decisions that affect all of you. Isn't it interesting to know that those who run your lives would have the nerve to tell yo...

I have instructions

....and like the good little girl that I am, I shall follow them. And hopefully, Internet Explorer will be replaced with Google Chrome. Even more hopefully, I'll be able to follow the GC system and still access my emails and blogs. If I was a nail-biter, I'd be chewing down to the quick by now. But I'm not, and the nails are already broken down to the quick....so I'll have to do my worrying internally. Indigestion city, here I come. Meanwhile, here's a couple of quotes to keep you thinking.

Quote two, also from the Well of Ascension; ...he absolutely hated fighting with strangers,.....an odd attribute in one who was hired, essentially, to hit people. Quote three , from a elderly customer at work yesterday; I'm getting better and better at being worse. Said as he fumbled through every pocket in his wallet, looking for ...

Are you ready for another book quote?

Because that's what I've got for you today. Well, four quotes actually. Again, from the Final Empire, book one of the Mistborn trilogy; 1) E: "Women are like thunderstorms. They're beautiful to look at, and sometimes they're nice to listen to, but most of the time they're just plain inconvenient". V: "You say these things just to provoke me!" E: "I'm charming that way". On religion: 2) The right belief is like a good cloak I think. If it fits you well, it keeps you warm and safe. The wrong fit, however, can suffocate. 3) Sometimes we just have to be what the job requires. 4) In the end, I worry that my arrogance shall destroy us all. I'm into book two of this trilogy now, titled the Well of Ascension , it also has some quoteable lines, and it's holding my interest really well.
