The Frog and the Scorpion

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 4 Apr 07

A scorpion comes up to a frog as its preparing to cross a stream and asks for a ride. "I can't let you on my back," the frog says, "you're a scorpion--you'll kill me." "No, I won't," the scorpion says. The frog looks at him...

..."and then, they were gone"

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 20 Mar 07

I have this line of my Myspace about how a lot of the time it seems people just drop into your life long enough to have a cup of coffee and then they leave on their way. I meet people all the time that are around--sometimes...

"Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya..."

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 25 Feb 07

The chances are, if you get the first part of this sentence you can finish it with "you killed my father: prepare to die!" And you will then probably laugh. If you don't get it, we've arrived at the topic stuck in my craw...

"So where do you get your ethics then?"

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 14 Feb 07

CNN thought it would be a great idea last week to run a piece on Atheists being discriminated against--something that certainly happens, especially here in a state that has been described politically as "somewhere to the right of...

"Tom...There are things worse than death."

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 9 Feb 07

I lose count of the number of times throughout books 1-6 that Dumbledore makes some sort of reference to there being "worse things than death," or "there are better ways to destroy a man than killing him." I'm thinking...

"You know what..."

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 8 Feb 07

There are certain words and phrases in the English language that make me want to poke people in the eye with a blunt spoon. One of them is "But..." another is "well..." because I have rarely had a conversation where these words...

Living Horcruxes?

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 8 Feb 07

Alright, I must give some props to thisgirlIknow for making me think of this. There are plenty of theories being bandied around about various people--namely Harry and/or Ginny being made into horcruxes, as well as our favorite...

How hard is it...really

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 7 Feb 07

At the risk of sounding like the intellectual snob I am often accused of being, I have a very simple question for my MyLot community... Considering that you are putting your thoughts out for all the world to see, would it be so...

Random acts of human kindness

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 5 Feb 07

My friend and business partner is always saying "people won't remember anything about you but how you made them feel." She's so right about that. I was looking for a scrap of material I wrote for one of my stories, and I had...

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 2 Feb 07

Alright be honest, all of us made new year's resolutions--how long have you kept yours? i had several, and have kept some better than others. I've recorded music pretty consistently at least 2 days a week. Other things? not so...

Well, the date is released

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 1 Feb 07

July 21, 2007. A date filled with both anticipation, and I must admit, a bit of sadness. The story will end here. In a way I wish they would have pushed the date back to later in the fall, since it wouldn't be so close to the...

Something else that irks me

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 1 Feb 07

Would it be so difficult to get off the effing cell phone when you're ordering something at a Starbucks or a fast food place? Don't you hate that?

Do you ever find yourself hitting refresh compulsively on MySpace because you've messaged someone you have more than a bit of interest in, and you're waiting on tenterhooks for them to message you back? Yeah, I just did that....

Something else I find curious

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 30 Jan 07

Why is it that some people's identity is completely wrapped up in their children? I mean I love my 8 year old more than anything, but that doesn't make me any less "me." I have female friends who are only concerned with their...

Stupid people scare me.

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 30 Jan 07

They really do. The impetus for this rant comes from Laura Mallory's continued attempts to have the Harry Potter books removed from classrooms and libraries. This just astounds me. Of course, she is in Georgia, a state that...

Creationist drivel

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 29 Jan 07

I was watching the Penn And Teller BS sow on Creationism and to say I found it particularly annoying would be more than a bit of an understatement. Incensed is more like it. Creationism, or "Intelligent Design" or whatever you...

A Misconception About Atheists

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 25 Jan 07

So I was over at my bestest friend's house, and she was having this debate/argument with this fellow who claims agnosticism for himself, and he was trying (and failing dubiously) to make the argument that people that are Atheists...

The new fuel album

So the guys are working on a new album, which will be the first without Brett singing. Are you looking forward to it? You know the songs will still be stellar, since Carl was and is the primary writer. I'm excited about it...

Astrological considerations...

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 24 Jan 07

While I don't necessarily buy into astrology, I do find that the general characteristics for the signs are at least in the ballpark. So that all said, what do you guys think, is it true that certain signs just generally go better...
