100 funny internet onliners
Found this on a site called onlinerz.net and laughed hysterically so thought I'd share it with my imaginary readers
TOP 100 funniest one-liners on the internet!
1 Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

epidemic of stupidity
I swear stupidity is an epidemic and a highly contagious one at that. the end of the world isnt gonna be caused by war,disease, aliens or zombies it will be stupidity that causes it. I had to laugh at work today cause the manager told me that their was alot of mental retardation at work and that I needed to compensate for it. I told her that i shouldnt have to compensate for people that outrank me at work. I mean really if you are management, even if its only a night manager, should i really have to correct your work? A little common sense in the work force couldnt possibly be a bad thing, its bad enough i have to deal with stupidity just walking down the street but at work too? It amazes me how arrogant americans can be with thinking that they are all that when they can't even do the simplest things without people having to compensate, redo or correct them. Sometimes people try to tell me its laziness but is it really laziness if you do twice the work or walk farther just to do it wrong? when i'm being lazy i try to do the quickest and closest thing or way so that i don't have to walk farther or work harder. really people stupidity needs to have something done about it,, maybe mandatory sterilization for people that show absolutely no common sense? a new drug to make people use their brain?
Okay irritated rant over... :P

random thoughts
Sometimes i wonder exactly why my brain works the way it does? for example As I'm taking my shower tonight I find myself wondering about if the earth stopped spinning? We all have been told that gravity is what holds everything on the surface of the earth, but would really happen if it stopped spinning? We know that everything would leave the surface of the earth and fly into space but would it be a slow fly away? would we all be flailing around trying to land back on the earth or grab hold of something till we suffocated in the upper atmosphere before entering outerspace? Or would it be a quick fling giving us no time to really know completely what is going on? If it was quick like that would we suffocate before space or make it through only to implode in the vacuum of space?
then I find myself wondering which would be more tramatic? would billions of people find themselves waiting to be sorted in the afterlife while flailing away and holding our throats and chests because our last moments are remembering the slow death? Or waiting to be sorted while being confused from the suddenness of a quick flight through the sky and space?
I'm telling you something is just not right in my head. :P

Viking Flame review
I just finished reading "viking flame" by Ashland price. this book was originally bought during my viking/scottish book stage. I do remember that ashland price was one of my favorite authors during that phase so when I picked up the book I was looking forward to reading it, what i didnt remember was that it was a sequel to a previous book written. so next I will have to read the previous book just because I prefer to read series together. but anyway on the the book.
Viking Flame was a well written and engaging story. I enjoyed the characters, they grabbed my and I felt what they felt. The female character had a major dilema, her parents had the guy who they thought she should marry who happened to be a erse soldier for the King and then she had the viking she liked who happened to be half erse and trying to settle into ireland in a peaceful manner. Of course when the 2 guys met all hell broke loose. Eventually things worked out in a happy ending (of course since it was a romance novel). but there was enough angst and bad things before the end to get my attention and keep it. I tend to like a little violence or angst in my stories when they aren't paranormal stories.
This book will go into the keep category. next I will have to read the book that this was the sequel to. I think I vaguely remember the story, but we'll see.
count:
keep -- 4 sell -- 1
hmmm.. the collection of books isnt really getting smaller yet?

Diabolo manga
so I just finished reading the first volume of a manga called Diabolo. It was pretty good I had forgotten that I even had it which is a shame because the manga publisher that put it out Tokyopop went out of business.
The premise of the story is that Devil offer deal to children and teens. Its pretty much a trick because when they turn 17 whatever powers they gain grows but they start to go crazy and by 18 basically become monsters and psychopaths. the story revolves around two childhood friends Ren and Rai who do the ritual to save Ren's cousin, the cousin disappears and the two are blamed for killing her, they are separated but find each other after they turn 17. They work together to try to find ren's cousin and to stop others who have fallen for the trick and made the deal. I'm not sure if they are trying to stop others from becoming monsters because they are genuinely good people or if they are doing it to spite the devils that tricked them as children. the first volume contains 3 different stories. I found the art work and story line very good.
http://www.animevice.com/diabolo/15-1167/ -- here is a link to a site talking about the manga
I hope that the manga will be picked up by another publishing company now that tokypop has gone under, meanwhile I think i will try to find the volumes that did get published.. Amazon.com here I come
totals so far
keep -- 3 sell --- 1
