I thee adore Te adoro

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The latin sentence structure of the phrase "Eu te adoro" is very similar to if you used thee in english in front of adore. I thee adore.  Thus a structure in a latin language is laid more bare to see for the english speaker.

Small Brazilian Summers Name is Veronique

Monday, May 26th, 2008

The portuguese word for summer is Verao. Its late May here and we just had a very warm spell after having been cold for a month.  This is typical for May as is Indian Summer in the USA midwest.  They call it veraonique.  And thus you know where another common name came from.  Veronica must have been derived from this latin word a long time ago.  So many names are like this.  Linda is portuguese for "pretty".  I can not remember all the names that have been derived this way as I sit here and write but there is a long list.

The Dream Team Prayer

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Strive to be your Best No Matter How funny it turns out Especially if you are a comedian. A little thing like a post-it note can go by unnoticed very easily. It’s easy to over look. Just another another flake of snow in a flurry of paper that swirls all ’round us in this way we live. But then there is the Dream Team Prayer. I found in on this post-it note while working at a Phoenix area satellite modem company. It was originally posted on a satellite modem or RF module after being repaired. This post-it note is full of the aspirations of survival. How else could making an electronic module function as engineering intended it to induce such euphoria as this note implicates? He was obviously in a fight to the death. With so many compromises in life, survival and hope are the biggest parts of the battle. And so I’ve kept this note in my desk for these years and its come to appear to me as a prayer. The dream team prayer yields its effect through the hilarious use of language which very effectively counterpoints the sheer relief of getting past yet another snag. ( Please note: I’m sure this man speaks English far better than I’ll ever speak his language…whatever it is )

Please note the key magic phrase of the note: "Sucks one" And now a moment of silence and laughter:
