The Truth about Cats

I've had a lot of cat metaphors recently related to me: * the movie, Truth about Cats & Dogs, keeps coming up.. the same argument over and over again.. would you choose comfort or thrill? someone cheering for your league or way out of your league? They cant always seem to link how comfort sometimes IS a hidden thrill.. judging and labeling.. fa eih ya3ni?! why do you care about the label when its the feeling that counts?? just get along! * "el 2ott ye7eb khana2o" this phrase has been used in conjugation with me unlimited number of times in a million contexts and no matter how i try to explain, i cant get them to understand that el 2ott doesn't like khana2o.. el 2ott likes someone, and this someone happens to yekhno2o.. i don't like you BECAUSE you abuse me, i like you IN SPITE of the abuse! * the same old sneaking (or is it gracefully walking?) like a cat and just giving people this "cat look".. I used to call it "cat out alone in the rain" look.. Of becoming a Pastafarian I came across this wiki page a while ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster and although it might -strongly- offend what i believe in.. yet i found the idea hilarious and the way he challenged their ideas quite entertaining.. So the other day am @ Diwan (the day i got that blue notebook) and i saw "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" containing the Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn't see".. anyway i got it a couple days ago, and started reading it right away.. So far it is really interesting.. the thing about it, is that it makes you re-question your faith in stuff.. which -to me- can actually be a way to regain, revive, or reinforce faith.. It makes you wonder why you believe in what you believe, and dig deeper in this paradigm.. Bobby Henderson (the originator and author) does that in a cool way by illustrating how correlation doesn't equal causation (a favorite topic of mine!) through establishing that "global warming, earthquakes , hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s" (where pirates are FSM "chosen people"!) ah yes, hear this, followers of FSM are called Pastafarians.. I particularly liked this one from the Eight I'd really rather you didn't build multi million-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodle goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick): * Ending poverty * Curing diseases * Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable Predispositions, Assumptions, and Preconceived Notions Hate them.. try to prove it wrong in every possible way.. but what i hate most is that i sometimes end up using them myself! Total Perspective Vortex The Total Perspective Vortex, in the fictional world of Douglas Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected. Located on Frog star World B, it shows its victim the entire unimaginable infinity of the universe with a very tiny marker that says "You Are Here" which points to a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot. Instead of thinking how significant we are -to the universe, to those around us, and to our closest people- how about for a change we consider how Insignificant we are to the world? Makes all the difference! Delirium Quote(s) I just came into the book of quotable Sandman's that i got a while ago , and i really liked these.. * "I like airplanes. I like anywhere that isn't a proper place. I like in-betweens." (Someone just said something similar about me 2 days ago!) * "I am following my fish."
