One day in junior highs chool the most popular girl in school told me I was conceited.

It's now been 17 years and recently that moment has been popping up in my mind quite often. My gut reaction is still the same. I first get hit by the absurdity of it. There she stood, the pretty girl with countless friends, the object of lust of every boy in the ( Read more... )

I'm alive!  Well, some of you know this because I have commented on your blogs.  If I haven't commented...It's not because I don't love you too!  I've just been distracted...

Specifically, as it pertains to lj, I have been twittering.  Yes, I'm one of THOSE.  It's just so easy and I think it's built for the modern (read: short) attention span.  It's ( Read more... )

Six degrees of Angelina Jolie! Okay, so I'm not linked to her, but her most recent movie brings her almost to my doorstep. I just read the buzz on The Changeling, Clint Eastwood's most recent project staring Angelina Jolie. Usually, something like this I would only superficially take note of for future movie watching, but a quick look into the ( Read more... )

And you thought those guys were being paranoid. I think deep down we all knew they were gonna be right eventually.

This from Wired Army Yanks 'Voice-To-Skull Devices' Site. Yes, it's what you think. Mind Control!!  There was also an image provided of "...one person's self-styled depiction of how a "voice-to-skull" weapon might work."

 I've now realized what...or better said, whom is behind my iPod problems.  It's all

I am reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz for my bookclub this month. It's an interesting book--part nerdboy epic, part sex/third world epic and part Dominican Republic history. I really am enjoying the touches of DR history because admittedly, I knew absolutely nothing about DR before I started reading. Now I think I may ( Read more... )

The year has been pretty good. As sad as my usual self wants to be, I can't really complain a whole lot. Sure I was broken hearted the last couple of weeks of December, but I resolved to put it behind me. Like I said to a few people, "At least no one said the L word."

At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day, I snapped a photo. I hope that's a ( Read more... )

I'm such a hopeless evil person. Oh, woe is me!

The nazi speaks.

I...it's...just...sigh....
You all know how I feel think about this.
"The Pope seemed to be addressing the fresh interest in atheism in the developed world with phrases such as: 'Let us put it very simply: man needs God, otherwise he remains without hope.'"
I have hope.  Wait...let me ( Read more... )

how can someone be so into you one day
and then not the next?
why would someone try so very hard to get you
and then not know if he wants to keep you?

why even get your hopes up?

because he says you're everything he should want.

it's never you.
