A quote on patriotism

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

Theodore Roosevelt

An Irish Friendship Wish

Forwarded e-mails normally annoy the crap out of me. I hate chain letters, have already heard most of the jokes, and don't care how much money Bill Gates will send me if I forward it on to 10 people. But occasionally I get one I can appreciate, like this Irish Friendship Wish from a friend (big shout out to Roudy Rosie).

May there always be work for your hands to do; May your purse always hold a coin or two; May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

My wonderful hostees

Those who know me will probably be able to write books and dissertations on my chronic procrastination and utter laziness when it comes to updating Sonafide.com with anything relevent. But alas, we have an exception:

Ladies and gentlemen, go visit my fabulously talented Raddy, who has an awesome pinkalicious new layout (for which I've been waiting in great anticipation). As a matter of fact, visit all of my hostees, because Aimee and Steven could blow the pants off any webmaster out there and I love them.

My weakness

After this mini-hiatus, in which I've been simply too busy to even think about posting an update on my blog (let along the new layout I've been promising), I'm please to announce that the Vurbic family has two new additions to boast over. Their names are Weazie and Nicodemus, and they were lovingly acquired from the local pet store some time ago. Look at my beautiful ratlings:

Aren't they pretty? Pretty, pretty babies... I love them. Although I have to admit, not as much as I love Fat Bastard. I can't wait until these little ones get all big and chubby. And right now they're still completely untrained. They don't come when I call them, they aren't completely cool with being lovingly handled and scratched, and they still poop wherever they damn well please. Plus I think Fatty hates them; they're much too rambunctious for the laid-back goldie. Whatever. I'm sure I'll grow to love them more, and they'll grow to stop pooping on my shirt.

Waiting.
