Sometimes, it's simple.
Sometimes when I call you, I don’t give a fuck what you say – I only just called cause I like to hear the sound of your voice. Sometimes when you catch me looking into your eyes, I’m not trying to learn any big secret – I just like the way I kinda get momentarily lost until you blink or smile.
Sometimes there’s nothing deep or complicated about any of this – I just like...

“Obama will take more of my money - and much, much more in the future. Liberalism...”
– The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan (February 28, 2009) - $100,000 Or The CPAC Mob
I so love listening to wealthy assholes whine about hard they have it.
With, or without
Life can sometimes seem to hinge on the tiniest of things. The direction of your future can be decided by something as inconsequential as a 5 minute phone conversation between two other people, and sometimes there’s just nothing you can do to push things one way or the other.

Facebook is AOL 2.0, and doomed to suffer the same ignoble end.

Teenager in Sunday morning checkout line at the market: birdseed, Motrin, two toothbrushes and a suspicious looking prescription in a tube. There’s a story somewhere in there, for sure.
A Note

I was in bed this morning, actually thinking that I needed to be angry.
I was thinking that I had to get mad at you to get over you.
Imagine that.

And said that real love shouldn’t depend on how the object of your affection feels about you.
Sure, there is desire, and lust and want and all that.
But that stuff is temporary, and...
PA Judges Jail Kids for Cash →
“For years, the juvenile court system in Wilkes-Barre operated like a conveyor belt: Youngsters were brought before judges without a lawyer, given hearings that lasted only a minute or two, and then sent off to juvenile prison for months for minor offenses… In one of the most shocking cases of courtroom graft on record, two Pennsylvania judges have been charged with taking millions of dollars in...

So glad that the Washington Post guy took time out of our evening to ask President Obama about the Alex Rodriguez steroid thing…

Seriously, this is the only way to experience TED. I pay the $4,000 registration fee each year (to support the conference), but then I stay home and experience the magic via Moltz.

What do women want:
melissa:
“Women’s sexual needs are not a scientific mystery. Want to increase female libido? Put down the pharmaceuticals and free our minds with equal pay, affordable child care and equitable distribution of household responsibilities. Wondering why women gravitate toward sexually passive roles? The answer has far less to do with evolution than with the ways women are shamed for expressing...
WatchReally?
A show of hands, please...
Anyone care to explain why I keep opening myself up to getting hit square in the gut with the exact same baseball bat, over and over and over?

An open e-mail to Chuck Wielgus, Executive Director of USA Swimming, who just had the gall to ban Micheal Phelps over a bong hit:
Just a quick note to say how completely dumb you guys look for banning Mr. Phelps. He’s done more to promote swimming and your organization than practically anyone in the history of the sport. You are the ones who should be ashamed of your actions and offering...
Anne and Diana
“Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it.”

A lot of negative things come with the No. 13. My life is never dictated by superstitions. My faith is first and foremost. If you believe that God’s in control, there is no reason to believe in superstitions.
Quick question - is this stupidly ironic, or ironically stupid?
Nothing's promised.
Always kiss your baby goodnight. Just sayin’.
