Life's a Beach

Your Ideal Beach Vacation Is Cozy

Your idea of a day at the beach is one that feels as natural and as homey as possible. You dream of living at the beach, and even if you can't live there permanently, you'd like to be there a while. Your dream beach getaway would place you right on the beach with your own private quarters.  You'd love to wake up to a beach sunrise and wind down with a beach sunset. And listen to the ocean crashing as you sleep. For you, the beach is a place to get warm and sleepy. Once you get comfortable, you never want to leave. More than any type, you belong on the coast permanently. If it isn't already, then it should be your home.

The Beach Postcard Test

Dangerous Knows Dangerous

Richard Nixon once referred to Timothy Leary as "the most dangerous man in America". Leary, a clinical psychologist and LSD advocate, was a counter-culture hero in the psychedelic 1960's and advised that generation to "turn on, tune in, drop out."

Nixon calling Leary "dangerous" was a proverbial case of "pot, meet kettle".

motza

Since I've been online, I've learned a lot of slang from my friends in other countries, but I've never seen/heard this one used.

Whatever the opposite word and meaning is, that'd be the word I'd have to use. I am not a bad poker player, but not a good one, either, mostly breaking even. I never had much luck at all betting on football games. (I once lost an entire paycheck betting on the Cowboys) I used to like to play scratch tickets, but winning tickets are few and far between - my average is less than the stated odds on the back of the tickets.  I seldom even win a flip of a coin.

The Mega Millions lottery is tonight ($190 million) and the Powerball ($550 million) tomorrow. Here's hoping I have motza after either one. If I do, I might just take a trip to Australia so I can use it and have people understand what I mean.

If I Fell - The Beatles

My favorite Beatles tune and IMHO, the prettiest melody and lyrics of them all.

Personally Prioritized Principles

You Prioritize Principles

When making a big decision, you turn to the moral guidelines that you follow. You trust them to show you what's right. Whether you're religious or simply philosophical, you have an ethical framework that you're serious about following. When it comes to what's right, you don't think things are as gray as they seem. People just want to avoid doing what they need to do. It isn't easy to behave ethically, and that's why you put so much emphasis on it. You think people should be recognized more for upstanding behavior. Those who don't know you well may call you obstinate and inflexible, but little do they know how much flexibility your ideas about morality give you. By having a clear idea of what is right and wrong for you, you trust yourself to be adventurous and open. You know you'll stick to your guns when you need to.

What Do You Prioritize?

I have principles; I just misplace them now and then.
