Today's random thoughts

Is it wrong when you go the bank - that charges endless fees for seemingly even just breathing near your business account and then you have to queue 1/2 hour to get anyone to help - that you want to take your waiting fee in large numbers of candy canes from the counter?

One can only be impressed when you see a bloke that has the balls to shave his head but leave a little strip right across his head and then grow a beard so his face is surrounded in a neatly trimmed halo - awesome!

Sometimes you can click a link and read on a blog words that touch your very soul. Words that express exactly what you feel but didn't know others felt the same and it totally makes your day - to not be alone, to know you are not weird and that you can change it. The person will never know their eight sentences has affected someone a world away. Someone who is so grateful they wrote it. Even I left a comment on the old post, it probably wouldn't get across what those eight sentences meant. Sometimes you just gotta love the internet.
