Klaeber's glossary defines aglaeca/aeglaeca as monster, demon, fiend when referring to Grendel or Grendel's mother. On the other hand, aglaeca/aeglaeca is translated by Klaeber as warrior, hero when referring to the character, Beowulf.

Quotes, thoughts, etc that I’ve found useful, interesting, enlightening – previously kept in a paper journal for many years.

So, every once in a blue moon I get a forward that is worth reading & reposting.  This one fits into that category, enjoy…

Friendship ~ None of that Sissy Shit

Are you tired of those sissy ‘friendship’ poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.

You will see no cute little smiley faces on this ~Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

  • When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

  • When you are blue ~ I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

  • When you smile ~ I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.

  • When you are scared ~ I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you’re NOT.

  • When you are worried ~ I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

  • When you are confused ~ I will try to use only little words.

  • When you are sick ~ Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don’t want whatever you have.

  • When you fall ~ I will laugh at your clumsy ass, but I’ll help you up.

This is my oath ….. I pledge it to the end. ‘Why?’ you may ask ~ because you are my friend.

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.

Send this to 10 of your closest friends (including the one who sent it to you).

Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

Atlantis Ushers in the End of an Era

I was 9 years old in 1981 when Columbia started us on this grand adventure.  All my life I’ve watched as we launched brave men and women into space.  Sally Ride and  Christa McAuliffe inspired me to dream of space.  In 1986 my favorite movie was ‘Space Camp’ and I think I sent 200 some entries into the Bubbalicious Space Camp contest.  I didn’t win a trip to Space Camp but I did win some NASA patches and space food.  I looked on in horror gathered around a small TV at my school when the Challenger fell apart in the sky above us.    30 years of boldy striking forth into the inky blackness above… Atlantis truly ushers in the end of an era.  I will admit to being a bit weepy over this today, I’m overcome with a deep sense of loss that I can’t quite explain.  For a long many years my dreams flew to the stars in those shuttles and I wonder if now I’ll need to dream in russian.  So it is with a sad, yet proud heart that I salute all the courageous men and women of NASA and their migthy flying behemoths.  You will be remembered and missed.

Justice is dead

I can understand that the jury had a doubt; the rules of evidence won out for the defense in this case.  But c’mon, really?  I think at the very least the the abuse charge should’ve stuck.  As it stands she’ll be back on the streets a free woman by this time next week.  There is no justice for Caylee. It’s a sad day for the American justice system, imho.  I would say something like Casey will have to live with the guilt the rest of her life but I’ hate to say it folks… she’s a sociopath with no conscience.  She just got away with murder.  If you are one of those that think Casey was a victim and her non-guilty verdict was right on, I invite you to offer her a job watching your kids.
