Stress Management

I think we could all use just a little!



Picture yourself near a stream. Birds are softly chirping in a cool crisp mountain air. Nothing can bother you here, no one knows this secret place. You are in total seclusion from that place called 'The World.' The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. The water is so clear.........you can easily make out the face of the person who's head you are holding under the water.

There now..........Feeling Better?

Is there a wireless signal? Can I check on my stock holdings?? Can I get my emails??? Ah, the %&@$ mountains are probably blocking the signal!! Are there mosquitos, I hate mosquitos, there won't be any there right??

I'll picture this in my mind tomorrow at work when I'm about to throttle.....

...oh right, good idea, drowning is much quieter than strangling!!

Thanks WebGizmos, I think many of us around here need the moment of calm and reflection!

Ah, that and the 'little book of Calm' from Black Books and a pint will take care of anything.

With all the rest of the crap that seems to be going on, thanks WebGizmos I think that we all need this. And a chill pill.

I figured a little lighthearted humor was needed around here.

8h straight Latin


Didn't know anyplace still taught that. Eight years of it from the Jesuits, and all I can remember is "Latin is a dead language, dead as it can be...it killed all the Romans, and now it's killin' me!".

Gaudeamus igitur
Juvenes dum sumus
Post jucundum juventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
Let us rejoice therefore
While we are young.
After a pleasant youth
After a troublesome old age
The earth will have us.
Ubi sunt qui ante nos
In mundo fuere?
Vadite ad superos
Transite in inferos
Hos si vis videre.
Where are they
Who were in the world before us?
You may cross over to heaven
You may go to hell
If you wish to see them.
Vita nostra brevis est
Brevi finietur.
Venit mors velociter
Rapit nos atrociter
Nemini parcetur.
Our life is brief
It will be finished shortly.
Death comes quickly
Atrociously, it snatches us away.
No one is spared.
Vivat academia
Vivant professores
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivat membra quaelibet
Semper sint in flore.
Long live the academy!
Long live the teachers!
Long live each male student!
Long live each female student!
May they always flourish!
Vivant omnes virgines
Faciles, formosae.
Vivant et mulieres
Tenerae amabiles
Bonae laboriosae.
Long live all maidens
Easy and beautiful!
Long live mature women also,
Tender and loveable
And full of good labor.
Vivant et republica
et qui illam regit.
Vivat nostra civitas,
Maecenatum caritas
Quae nos hic protegit.
Long live the State
And the One who rules it!
Long live our City
And the charity of benefactors
Which protects us here!

Pereat tristitia,
Pereant osores.
Pereat diabolus,
Quivis antiburschius
Atque irrisores.

(vers. C. W. Kindeleben 1781)

Let sadness perish!
Let haters perish!
Let the devil perish!
Let whoever is against our school
Who laughs at it, perish!
