| I thought it was funnyIf you don't, oh well.

| Just humor me and do this pleaseThere's a ship wreck and there's only 2 life boats. 5 people survive and make it to the lifeboats. In one of the boats there's a sailor, a girl, and an old man. In the other boat, the girls fiance and his best friend. The boats get seperated and the one with the sailor,old man, and girl crash on an island. The boat is broken but everyone is okay. When surveying the surroundings the girl can see another island in the distance with a boat at the shore. In hopes her fiance is on the other island she asks the sailor if he can fix the boat and row her to the other island. He reponds, "Sure, if you sleep with me tonight." Very distraught she goes to the old man for advice. He tells her, "I can't tell you what's right or wrong, follow your heart." So that night she sleeps with the sailor. The next day he fixes the boat and rows her to the other island. Excited to see her fiance but full or guilt she explains what happened. The fiance yells, "I can't believe you, get away from me, I don't want to see you again!" She sadly walks away. The best friend comes up to her, puts his arm around her, and says, "I know you just had a fight. I'll try to mend things for you, unitl then, I'll take good care of you."
Now within 3 mins rank these 5 people. 1 being the person you like the best, 5 being the person you like the least. Feel free to give an explanation if you want but it's not required. I will give an update blog in a couple of days, thank you!!!!!!!

| Liar liar, pants on fire!In my management class the other day, we were discussing ethics. The
professor asked if you think it's never okay to lie, raise your hand.
Without even thinking my hand went up, confident that there's other
good, honest people in the world. To my shock and horror the professor
pointed out I was the only one with my hand raised, out of about 60
students. We started to discuss different scenarios where we would be
faced with the decision to lie or not. One incident that was brought up
was when Vincent Marinallo killed his wife in an Old Metairie parking
lot in broad daylight. Harry Lee came out with a statement saying they
think it's just a random robbery and the tape from the building was
unusable b/c it was staring into the sun. All of which was untrue but
they didn't want the killer to know they were onto him. Okay, I can
understand this lie, but do I think it's right, I didn't at the time.
We also talked about various business situations where people said they
would lie or not lie. But I was really shocked how many people would
lie, about stupid things, or really serious things that could get you
in major trouble. The whole class I am thinking, I must be living in my
own bubble. These are my classmates, my peers, my future employers,
employees, colleagues, the generation that will teach and raise my
childrens generation, etc. and they're all a bunch of
LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this disturbs me. It's one thing to lie but
it's another thing to admit you are a big fat liar to a classroom full
of your peers. Good to know, I won't be working with you in the future!
So I started thinking the Bible does say "thou shall not lie" right?
Like I'm not crazy, right? Not that everyone is a Christian, but there
had to be some in my class. So I went to the Bible to check it out and
reassure myself. To my shock and horror (number 2), it does not say
that. The one people refer to as don't lie I guess would be "you should
not testify falsely against your neighbor" I consulted 3 versions all
saying the same thing. I'm glad I looked this up and didn't just go off
of what I hear at church or what I think I know. But what does this
mean? Only don't lie about other people but it's okay to lie about
yourself? Then I thought, whatever. Whether it's okay to lie or not,
that's not the kind of person I want to be. I want to be an honest
person, no matter what. Which those of you who know me well might say I
don't have a problem with being honest, sometimes, I'm a little to
honest, but nevertheless, I'm honest. And that makes me feel good.
Maybe some people think I can't get anywhere with being honest, like
some people in my class. But really shouldn't we want honest people in
power? It's what people have been begging for in politicians, even
clergymen. Like hello....Enron! People want honest people in power but
at the same time they diss and have no hope in honest people. What is
up with that? Well, that's my thoughts for now. | | |
| I am reading this book for the forth time I think, maybe fifth. I love it. This time I am underlining my favorite parts.

| PonderingsSo, for all you old Chi Alphaians out there, remember when Audra use to do the reminder, or what's going on e-mails? And at the end she'd always put a funny quote? Well, two things this week made me think of that. First of all, I don't have a lot of pants. I only have 4 pairs of jeans. Two of which I got on freecycle and let's just say they are just a little short on me. So I am getting sick of everytime I sit down, my big, white, hanes her way socks are sticking out! This made me think about how every time I go jean shopping I can never get the right lenght. The regular jeans are too long, which means the long jeans are waaay too long, but get this..... the short jeans are too short!!!! Why must the world be this way?!
Second story
I was listening to a comedy radio station online and this comedian said something that made me not only burst out laughing but then step back and think:
No matter what temperture the room is, it's always room temperture!
Thank you very much, I'll be here all week!
