Acerbic Argument
andy| March 20, 2008 7:30 amDon’t you just love when two groups are arguing about the methodology to solve the problem instead of trying to solve the problem? It reminds me to that scene in the “Life of Brian”, where Campaign for Free Galilee and People’s Front of Judea are fighting each other. Eventually Brian jells:
“Brothers! Brothers! We should be struggling together!”
“We mustn’t fight each other! Surely we should be united against the common enemy!”
To this they all respond in one voice:
“The Judean People’s Front?!”

Some of you young folks been saying to me
Hey Pops, what you mean What a wonderful world
How about all them wars all over the place
You call them wonderful
And how about hunger and pollution
That aint so wonderful either
Well how about listening to old Pops for a minute
Seems to me, it aint the world that’s so bad
but what we’re doin’ to it
And all I’m saying is
See what a wonderful world
It would be if only we’d give it a chance
Love baby, love
That’s the secret, Yeah
If lots more of us loved each other
We solve lots more problems
And then this world would be better
That’s wha’ ol’ Pops keeps saying
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin’ how do you do?
They’re really sayin’ I love you
I hear babies cryin’, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than I’ll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

- New Job
- Drive from NY to CA
- Move to CA
- Lots of biking
- Meet new people
- More biking
- Found several vegan restaurants
- I love this place
- Even more biking
So, time to make some New Year resolutions. Here they are:
- More biking
- More fun
- Meet more people
- Do more for the environment and peace (kind of cliché)
Beyond this, I will attempt to do a century a month thing this year, next to biking to work every day.
