Mi relernas esperanton!

11 November 2009

Mi skribos pli ofte esperante. Chi tio shatos al min. Sed komprenu min, dum multaj jaroj mi neniam uzis la lingvon. Do mia esperanto estas tre rusta kaj mi faros multajn erarojn!

Mi estis bona meznivela esperantisto sed nun mi estas rekomencanto. Mi relernos rapide! Mi devas. Eble mi simple deziras relerni rapide do mi ne aperas kiel stulta viro.

Mi skibas verkojn kiu enhavas nur 100 vortojn. Chi tio estas malfacila kiam via lingvo ne laboras bone! Chi tio estas nur 84 vortoj!

Ho! Chu estas la nomo de mia blogo “Pensajheto” au “Penseto” el la Dometo de Viro?

Then no one will drive.

Se la vojoj malbonighas tiam neniu vojaghos.

So I was at Uncle Wally’s Emporium of Chinese Imports Made With Slave Labor and I noticed something a little odd. I can’t say what she was doing was all that unusual in today’s climate, it just still strikes me as weird.

She was wiping down her shopping cart with some antiseptic wipes!

The world has gone swine flu crazy. Now I realize sadly that people have died but the number is less than 200 in the US. These folks were mostly infants, elderly, or those without adequate care.

Putting it into perspective- Type A flu kills 30-50,000 a year.

I Really Had to Laugh

9 November 2009

Some people just can’t seem to keep pace with the rapid technological progresses of our times. I know a guy who has been adamant that a telephone should be a telephone not anything else. He never could see the point in having a calendar or a camera on a phone.

He often criticized his children for texting and sending pictures all over the world. Phones are for talking not for typing!

He recently got a fancy smart phone. He showed me some pictures from a recent trip he took and then clicked away on his phone’s touchscreen checking his Facebook.

The clouds disappear
Sunshine fills the void with warmth-
At noon Fall ran off

The other day I was driving down a road that had quite a few churches on it. Each church had one of those billboards where the church will usually put these cute sayings that will at least give the passerby a smile.

Not these churches that day. Each church was hosting a “Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University” and their billboards told the dates and times.

Nothing against Mr Ramsey or his sage financial advice but when did he become a “profit” of God and his books become a part of the Bible?
I guess God needs help prospering some folks.

Overhead greyness
Birds gather on wires, gossip-
Fall exerts control

Starting a trend

8 November 2009

I wonder if my readers have heard of the artistic form called the “drabble.” Supposedly the origin of this art form comes from an old Monty Python sketch a few decades ago where the sketch centered around the writing of a novel. The first one to get to 100 words wins.

The folks who write fanfic picked up on this a few years back for their works. They defined the drabble as a 100 word story with up to 15 words for a title and “hyphenated words are to be argued about.”

But what can be said in 100 words?
