The sibling in my family that is closest in age to me is fourteen years older than I am. Basically I grew up like an only child and developed an uncanny ability to entertain myself when alone and with limited resources. This was demonstrated today upon returning to work from lunch when I took an ordinary strip of plastic, which normally serves as a shade for the fluorescent light over my desk, and transformed it into Geordi La Forge's visor.
I found this lovely piece of inspirational art on Jimbo's Flickr page. Naturally, I fell in love with it and being that I am a hot blooded citizen of the USofA I WANTED MORE!!

This is what I found instead.
An article about an art exhibit in Hollywood entitled, "Golden Girls Gone Wild." It all started when curator Lenora Claire purchased a portrait of Bea Arthur bearing her breasts for $110 (A steal if you ask me). Other installations include a portrait of Rue McClanahan made from pieces of trash (namely condom wrappers, hairspray cans, and cheesecake wrappers) and a portrait of Betty White in a skimpy leather suit with a whip. For those that are not familiar with the concept of camp, look no further, this is the pinnacle of the idiom. I love it.
To my delight I discovered that someone has posted several episodes of He-Man on YouTube. Last night I watched, "The Diamond Ray of Disappearance." It was nothing short of awesome.
When I was a child I lived, breathed, was everything He-Man (bed sheets, underwear, and all). I had the sword. It went with me everywhere; I sat with it at the dinner table; I slept with it in bed. I had the power.
I totally forgot about the life lessons at the end of every He-Man episode; I think they're great!
Here's 14 Life Lessons from He-Man:
Not only is He-Man a total muscle stud, he's got morals too! Swoon!
This one doesn't have it but there's one where they talk about the Magna Carta; how it's a wonderful document because it was one of the first steps in creating equality for all, and how the only way civilization can truly advance is if everyone works together. Imagine that!
