Fifteen years is a long time...
You know, I wasn’t sure I wanted to sit down and deal with how I was feeling about today, but a particular song just came on iTunes, and anyone who knows me well, knows how some songs affect my mood. Fifteen years ago today, I lost my grandfather, Reynaldo Ramirez. He’s a big reason, if not the biggest reason, for the moral center I drive my life by. It was my first real experience...
Sundays on tumblr are slooooooooooow...
Usually if I’m away from the pc for an hour, there are double digits worth of new posts. Last count: 4. Now, that’s a recession I can see the repercussions of.
D'oh!
I just realized that my profile avatar might’ve been a better choice for my doppelganger shoop.
I believe in you.

“Attention, crew of the Enterprise, this is James Kirk. Mr. Spock has resigned commission and advanced me to acting Captain. I know you are all expecting to regroup with the fleet, but I’m ordering a pursuit course of the enemy ship to Earth. I want all departments at battle stations and ready in ten minutes. Either we’re going down…or they are. Kirk out.” - Acting...

“Here’s why I think there’s something a little odd with George [Bush]. Because a lot of the times when he speaks, his words don’t match his face. Something is askew. You can’t talk about the war with a smile on your face. He does it constantly. IF you’re the President, you should go “We’re going to talk about the war, I must have a frowny...
Just got back my transfer equivalency reports!
Junior standing, here I come! (Only, oh, 4 years late) HA!

lordolimar:
is beyond ridic. I don’t understand how anyone could take this class while taking other classes. I’ve never had a teacher require this much out-of-class work.
I’m already looking forward to the teacher evaluation lol. Oh well, I’ll deal!
Bump for great justice. Truth.
Part 8 in Unpopular Disgruntled Opinions
thedisgruntledgradstudent:
Eating only the eggwhite is stupid, unless you are part of the 10% of the population where cholesterol in your food directly correlates to a rise in blood cholesterol.
The protein in the yolk is incredibly filling and delicious, and it has been shown to aid weightloss, by promoting feelings of fullness that last up to 24 hours.
And another thing
pragmatism:
How can my electric bill is tripled what it was last month. Ok ya’ll. You know I’m always on here complaining about how cold my apartment is; it’s not like I’m living in some tropical zone. This shit is really uncool. The heat is set to come on at 64, so I’m pretty sure I am a model citizen for saving energy.
GAH.

*SO, I’m having to rewrite this because tumblr just cleared it when I hit the create post button. I feel it’s really important that I post this though.”
Regarding yesterday:
I undertook a 200 mile round trip drive to a small church in Fayetteville to make a reasonably sized donation. My friend Josh, who I had been watching animals for while he was out of town, seemed a little...
true confession tuesday
warrennotg:
Since I’m such a pain wimp, and I don’t smoke, I’m still deathly afraid of cigarette lighters.
Yeah, anytime I try to use one, I get all nervous and shaky and worry that I’ll burn my thumb off is some blazing inferno.
What a sad way to end up disfigured: by a zippo trying to light a candle.
As one who regularly burns the hell out of himself by accident, let me say this: burn...

Dudes, I have had it with this Conan “work hard and be kind” thing. Like this is news? DUH. Were you raised by dolphins? Did you previously think that being a lazy asshole was the way to go? DID HE REALLY DROP AN EGG OF KNOWLEDGE ON YOUR HEAD?
What are you trying to say about dolphins, huh? Are you saying they’re dick heads? As a former dolphin, I’m here to...
You know.
lordolimar:
I just realized I haven’t had my phone with me for almost a full 48 hrs. I’m rather ok with it.
Ok, so that’s why when I’ve texted you while I was bored at work, you’re all “…” like a useless side character in a badly-translated RPG. Inadvertent troll is inadvertent.
I feel productive...
Since I got out of bed last night; I have done the following:
Worked a full eight-hour shift
Listened to half of “HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban”
Wrote 2 1/2 pages of history notes (Damn you, Reformation!)
Questioned the ambivalence of people in my life, and whether I allow more than I should to be requested of me. (No one who reads this blog, I assure you)
Watched the storm...

Is it bad that I could all I saw in my head just now was “tumblr crushes: all you need is [hearts]…”?
I just took a big sip of water, and sneezed before...

New Hanover liquor board seeks lower-paid CEO →
c-newt:
“The local ABC board now wants someone with a college degree and management experience. The top salary for the new manager would be $130,000 plus benefits.”
I mean, $130K is a little less than I had expected, but I can probably swing it.
Ohh, I’ve been following this in our local paper. This bastard and his kid made a shit-ton of money.
1000 Things - Jason Mraz - Live at Schuba’s...
It seems to me that doing something difficult but necessary is intrinsic to growing up.

Look it up, it’s a great listen! Been rocking it for the last few days. Thanks again to AMIndy for turning me on to it!
It just dawned on me that if Chad Kroeger...

Think about that America.
Well, rednecks the world over can be glad there’s no such thing as Canadian Idol, at present.

“I tried my best to leave this all on your machine; but the persistent beat, it sounded thin upon listening, and that frankly will not fly. You will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows, with the windows down, when this is guiding you home.”
Blah...

Super-sensitive Tuesday
jennnay:
While I appreciate having my own legs smooth, a woman can damn well shave (or not shave) as she pleases.
Which means, if near Jenni today (and she’s wearing long pants) beware of static shock.
