Meditation one: On how little people (toddlers) can make the most noise out of anyone.

My answer? I figure it's their job to make you deaf early so you don't have to listen to whining when they're older.  OR it's so they can sneak into the house undetected as a teenager. (Boy, I'll have my hands full with that baby in 16 years!)

Meditation two: Sweeney Todd: who was the craziest, most messed up character? Mrs Lovett, who baked the people into the pies? Sweeney Todd, who killed them on a vengeful, mad spree? Judge Turpin who wanted Todd's wife, sent Todd away on a false charge for 15 years, rapes Todd's wife at a party, raises Todd's daughter as his own, then later wishes to marry the 'daughter'? OR that guy who, after glancing at Johanna (Todd's daughter) decides he's going to "steal" her?

My answer: Obsessions are wrong and lead to disaster.

...

(That and Turpin was probably the most messed up.  Todd could be forgiven his rampage on account of being falsely accused, learning about the fate of his wife and daughter.  Times were hard, Mrs. Lovett was just being frugal (albeit disgusting).)

...

Meditation three: If Global Warming really does exist, why in the world have we been buried in snow and sub-zero temperatures (save the last 2 days) all year?

My answer: Global warming will only be seen as a threat by me when I have to wear shorts all winter and protective sun-proof suits all summer.  Living in MI, that's probably never going to happen.  If we continue to go in the direction we're headed, places as far south as Kentucky will experience a permanent freeze (ice age anyone?)  So, yeah. I figured it was a myth.  My heating bill increase proves it.

Take care!
