Whats with those ad banners?

I know sites need to generate income but this latest one I keep seeing...

You have 1 friend Request
A friend you recently added has a crush on you. Check which one now!
yourdestinyrevealed.net

Hmmmm what could this mean?
Is it one of the gorgeous girls on my contact list?
Is is it one of the guys trying to come out of the closet?
Should I be flattered or freaked out?
And what about those ones that tell you you'r computer is prone top attack by malicious hackers?
I am so thankful to banner ads for reminding me I need some tacky online fortune teller to spell out if a girl may like me (my instincts or even human fortune tellers are not good enough to do this, and my friends can't be trusted to tell me). For instilling paranoia everytime I log on because those nasty hacker terrorists are going to steal my mp3 and photo collection that I spent all those hours downloading, and they could find out my easy to guess passwords.

Boredom

The things we do. Just went to SMSpup to send a reply to someone and started using the fun stuff section because I got so many accumulated points. First the Mystic Pup (You ask a question...) then pickup line, then a bible verse - forward that to somebody, then a fortune, then another fortune, then another questions (I had a good answer just playing with it) then clarify concentrate on question and ask again, then another fortune. I still have over points 270 left to waste.
Summary: -
It is decidely so.
Was You'r father an alien? Because there's nothing else like you on earth!
And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace Luke 7:50.
Tuesday after lunch is the cosmic time of week.
Write yourself a threatening letter and pen a defiant reply.
Concentrate and ask again
Yes - Definetely
You will have long and healthy life.
OK - probably never use the pickup line (feel free to try it out), what does 'cosmic time of week mean'? not sure if I would reply in writing to a threat, Think I allready knew before asking anyway, Uplifteing verse - but I doubt theres any of those hardcore curse type ones in their database.
What now? get on chat rooms and entrap potential predators? Create a web site proclaiming myself to be expert in (what topic this week)? Go for a walk?

The Tao the can be told of
Is not the Absolute Tao;
The Names that can be given
Are not Absolute Names.

Opening words to a classic, legend has it Lao Tzu did not want to put his philosophy into writing but on leaving the city gates was harassed to do so and that is why we have the Tao Te Ching. I believe these opening words we're a reiteration of why he did not want to write it down and those who look into this work must take into account these words.
I quote this often to christian friends, not sure if they appreciate hearing words of eastern philosophies but I think there is a lot in this.
I walked away from christina circles because of being berated by people that could not appreciate that I was endeavouring to study the word of God. Today I face some who have learnt much of the christianese phrasebook but are not living new lives.
If we can apply some of these words to our faith we may not be so condescending and start actually 'listening to the spirit' when we deal with other people.
Still got a long way to go, we all do.

One Eye

Started wearing an eye patch because my double vision is getting very troublesome, the blind spot is a bit of a hassle but it has been easier to focus and do whatever I am doing.

Have copped a few pirate jokes from random strangers as well as friends, also noticed a lot of VERY good looks from girls I pass on the street, seriously this is not a fashion statement as one friend enquired it is to correct my eyesight, but seems to have been taken well by people so the tradeoff of losing some periphal vision weighs up lightly against better concentration & balance, add the excuse to start a fight with smart arse guys and extra smiles from girls and losing the use of my right eye is not even a sacrifice.

To Create is...

The nature of GOD dimly reflected in us
Aspiring to be what was before we are
Take a piece of nothing, somehow produce something
Then shape it, refine it, polish and adorn it.

To take some random frequencies
Organize them into patterns
Combine the sequences
Loop, reverse, fade out
Melodies of Ecstasy

Opposites join together
Two becoming one
Momentous explosive sensation
As tension crosses the line
A period of incubation
Then new life
Not quite like either
But something of both

Grammar, vocabulary, descriptive pictures
Names, places and times
Somehow a word becomes life
Words in combination bring so many emotions
Associations
Epic battles, romances, family sagas

Clumps of rock cleaned and put together
Heated to melting point
Cast into blocks
At hammer and anvil the block is flattened
More heat to soften\
Shaped, stretched, folded
Coated except for the edge
Placed one last time in the fire
At the right moment taken
Dipped into the cold river
Polished, sharpened, fittings attached
All of this done while in prayer
Sword in sheaf
Wrap and rack

Awaiting the time for the warriors entrance!

My Ambitions

A few years back when I was less mature then I am now (ie less subtle). I got together with some like minded friends and we used to discuss plans for World Domination. Thought it might be interesting to share these and get some feedback on how I have developed from the megalomaniacal thinking of those years ago.
The following are some of my ideas from this. Keep in mind that I have posted these as I wrote them at the time and not altered to sound more appropriate etc, those that know me will not be too shocked.
PROPAGANDA
We need to start killing people on a regular basis, this will reduce the population thus decreasing the waste of natural resources.
Random acts of violence of a depraved nature will in the long run make the earth a better place. Everyone over the age of 15 should be given a gun and assassination targets on a monthly basis.
Rapists will be used for target practice to ensure that agents have no problem with killing.
We are in the process of building our organization and need dynamic young leaders, preferably with a propensity towards violence. In particular we need young women who can be role models for other girls who feel vulnerable.
Once fully operational we will offer assassinations for a nominal fee, as well as torture and information gathering services.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
I No women, no children
II Political assassination only when corruption can be proven
III Punishment issued for crimes, not religious beliefs
IV Large scale operations only when innocent causalities can be avoided
V Destruction of monuments and property only if life is not taken
VII A soldier's purpose is to fight and die if necessary
VIII Witnesses are a source of propaganda, not a threat
IX Media attention is always to be sought for operations
