The Fear of Time

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping...
You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are never late, a dog does not check its watch, cats don't fret over passing birthdays.
Just man measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.

Alzheimer's Request

Do not ask me to remember,
don't try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you are with me,
kiss my cheek and hold my hand.

I'm confused behind your concept,
I'm sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you,
to be with me at all cost.

Do not lose your patiente with me,
do not scold or curse or cry.
I can't help the way I'm acting,
I can't be different though I try.

Just remember that I need you,
that the best of me is gone.
Please don't fail to stand beside me,
love me 'til my life is gone.

National Pride

I could never understand ethnic or national pride. Because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn't a skill, it's a genetic accident. You wouldn't say "I'm proud to be 5'12", or "I'm proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer." So why the hell would you be proud to be Irish, or proud to be Italian, or American, or anything?

If Someone from the 1950s visited us Today

If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain to them about life today?

Probably the answer would be: "I possess a device in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entire information known to man. But I use it to look at pictures of cats and get in arguments with strangers.

Life in Five Frames

Enjoy Yourself

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!

Do you remember?

Soda becomes vodka, bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Do you remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth, and your mum was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a card game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant until tomorrow.
And you couldn't wait to grow up.

     -Expecience.
-And how do you get that good experience.
     -Two words.
-And, Sir, what are they?
     -Wrong decisions.

A Man called Incredible

A couple had a child and called him "Incredible", because they thought he would do incredible things in his life. But the truth is that, far from being so, Incredible had a very dull and quiet life. He got married and was faithful to his wife during 60 years.
His friends always made fun of him because his name didn't match his lifestyle. So, before he died, he asked his wife not to write his name in the gravestone, in order to avoid further jokes after his death.
When he finally died, the wife followed his instructions, and just wrote on the gravestone: "Here lies a man who was faithful to his wife for 60 years."
When people passed by his tomb and read the epitaph, they said: "Incredible!"

Just a Man Seeking Advise

Dear Abbey,

I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice.
I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs like... the phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says: "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."
I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep.
Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.
Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my Harley Davidson so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls". When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.
It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the valve covers on my engine seemed to leak out a bit of oil.
Can I fix this myself or should I take it to the dealer?

Stop using Jesus as an Excuse

The dead Donkey

A man bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. But the next day the farmer called the man and said:
-"I am really sorry, but the donkey died."
-"Ok, in that case give me the money back."
-"I can't do that. I've already spent it," replied the farmer.
-"Ok then, give me the dead donkey."
-"What are you going to do with a dead donkey?" exclaimed the farmer.
-"I'm going to raffle him off."
A month later the farmer met up with the guy and asked him about what happened with the dead donkey. "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 each, and made a profit of $898." -Said the man.
-"Didn't no one complain?" asked the farmer.
-"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back."

Flowers and Rice

A man is putting some flowers on the grave of a loved one, when he sees a Japanese guy who is placing a bowl of rice in a nearby grave. The man approaches the Japanese and ask him:
- "Excuse me, don't take me wrong but... Do you really think that your loved one is going to come to eat the rice?
- "Yes", said the Japanese... "When yours comes to smell the flowers."

The frozen Pond

On a wet and frosty afternoon, two kids were iceskating on a frozen pond. Suddenly the ice breaks under one of them and he is swallowed beneath. The other kid grabs a stone and starts to hit the ice vigorously until he was able to break it and take his friend out.
When the local police arrived to the place and saw what just had happened, could not avoid asking: "How come he was able to break the thick ice with such a small stone and his little hands... it's impossible!"
In that moment an old man came along and said: "I know how the kid was able to do it"
"How?" -Asked the police.
"There was noboby around to tell him that he coudn't do it." -Said the old man.
