So True And Yet So Sad

My Communications instructor gave us the following "Obituary" as an interesting, funny, true and sad read.  I just had to share it because I know there are still some of us out there who would like to resurrect this dear departed loved one.  Enjoy!  =)

Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense:

'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
   
   Knowing when to come in out of the rain; 
   Why the early bird gets the worm; 
   Life isn't always fair; 
   Maybe it was my fault.
   
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
   
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
   
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Elastoplast to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
   
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
   
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
   
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. 

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; 
   
   I Know My Rights, 
   I Want It Now, 
   Someone Else Is To Blame, 
   I'm A Victim. 

Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone. 

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Second Block Done!

The second block of school has come to an end and I'm still holding my A average.  Yay!!  The next block will be Foundations III and I found out that our class will have the same Chef Instructor we had for Foundations I!  I'm so excited!  He is the best teacher on this planet!   =)

Now I have a 4 day weekend before the next block starts.  Oh yeah!  I'm going to do some research to scout out good photo locations around here.  I'm sure it won't be hard...we live in one of the most beautiful states.  In fact, I've been doing some photo editing today.  I love working on my photos; however, I am in desperate need of a new computer...ours is super slow!  It is very frustrating doing edits like this....it can take me 30-45 minutes for just one photo, (with very minimum edits).  It should only take me 1-2 minutes.  Oh well, will have to save up for a while for that....

Sorry this post is kind of boring but, other than school, not much has been going on.  Fall is finally here and we were able to turn off our A/C and open up the house.  It's been sooo nice.  Especially when we got our electric bill and saw that it was 1/2 the price!!  I love to save $$$$!

Anyway, I hope you all are having a great week.  Below are some "sneak peek" photos of what I'm working on....I took them back in July, Aug and Sept.  That's how long it has been since I've been able to work on my photography...LOL  Enjoy!
