Just had to..
Awesome quote of the day:
"How many of you out there have self-help books?"
(some raise their hands)
"That's your first problem, you can't help yourself because yourself sucks."

School for ScoundrelsI haven't seen the movie and I don't really even know what it is about, but I heard this on one of its commercials. So applicable in so many ways. :-)
Wishin' and Hopin' and Plannin' and Dreamin'
Take a moment to think of how many times you sit there thinking "Man, I really wish I could get this dynamics problem finished before 2am," or "I hope that a close parking space opens up." When you do finish that problem early or a car pulls out of a parking spot, do you take credit yourself for wishing/hoping hard enough? Or do you thank God for granting what you asked? Or do you even consider that asking something of God?
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. It seems that we use those words in place of prayerfully asking God for the matter, even if it is
just a parking space. It is so easy to take this mindset and it is really sad! I think this would be considered one of our "sophisticated sins." It seems so innocent, but essentially it is really saying that we have control of everything.
I know that at least one of you out there will say that I am crazy and that I am taking things waaaay too literally. Maybe I am, but this is what makes sense right now. Feel free to comment otherwise.

Adolf Hitler
You scored 76 Authoritarian and 56 Right Wing!
Well done! You're a world-hated figure! You are slightly right-wing and support strong economies and businesses. You demand total control over your subjects. Whilst people under your rule will enjoy great technological benefits, this comes at a sacrifice of their freedom, and a tremendous human cost...
