Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error
I saw this and thought:
1. Holy Christ!
2. If I cover half her shirt it looks like she is holding a knife.
3. Holy Christ!
Happy Friday!

Mike Donovan: [about killing the boys] I couldn't help myself.
I couldn't. Please, you have to understand.
Dexter Morgan: Trust me, I definitely understand.
See, I can't help myself either. But children -
I could never do that. Not like you. Never, ever kids.
Mike Donovan: Why?
Dexter Morgan: I have standards.
Take a breath
This is a bittersweet sort of announcement.
I'm glad The Academy Is will be putting out more music but sad that part of the band is no more.
Sigh...such is life...roll with it.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
Harold Camping
Its a funny thing about people who try to predict the future...they are often wrong. I didn't even know the "rapture" was happening until a week ago. All this time I thought it was happening in 2012. Where have I been? Under a rock apparently. This Harold Camping guy spent $140,000 for billboards and ads all over to basically scare people and bring attention to his ministry (if you can call it that). Bringing about fear in the gullible and a sense of WTF among the rest of us. What if he had spent that money on a truly noble cause instead of fear? What if?
When I was younger and was introduced to the "end times" I remember being shown a video at church called 'A Thief in the Night'. This video scared me for years. It's about the end times and how one day people will just be missing...but not all people. Somehow God leaves a few Christians behind just so they can really have their faith tested. What a pleasant surprise for those left behind. I remember seeing this movie and for weeks I would be afraid my mom would be missing and I would be left all alone. The movie shows scenes of people going about their normal day and then bam..the lawn mower is going by itself, a blender is going unattended..an electric razor just buzzing with no one there.I was convinced this would happen any day. I would be left to fend for myself and either take the number of the beast on my body or not eat. And then finally if I really loved Jesus, I would be beheaded. Sweet dreams for pre-tween I must say.
Thanks church.
(btw..I relate to the girl in the video asking her mom if she will be there when she gets back...)
Weak needs that falter to batting eyelashes

I just read an article on How the Kardashians made $65M last year. I know, I know, as if there needs to be an article written and as if I need to admit reading it..*cough* allthewaythrough *cough*. But, there is something about articles like this. People who are famous for seemingly looking like they do a lot in the media because of the coverage. But when broken down, its all face value, literally.In my opinion, the merit given to any of what they got paid for only reinforces my belief that beauty and brains are,more often than not, rivals. Society loves a pretty face. And don't get me wrong, I can enjoy beauty just like anyone. The Kardashian girls are beautiful. No question. What bothers me is we live in a society where those who educate future generations make about 4% per year of what the Kardashians made from selling their face and name over a show about nothing. There isnt a balance of wealth for for those who are truly in the trenches everyday trying to make the world a better place.
But they give back you say? They join in on the various celebrity stands such as "I will not tweet until this charity makes X amount of money" pretentious BS. Can you just imagine if your local school down the street said they wouldn't tweet until they got a raise? Theirs no uprising, no funds being allocated, no big media blitzkrieg. Those local educators do a strike and then they are replaced if they don't give in and that's that. The gratification of a few more children who graduate because of a teacher that saved them from failing is far less than seeing the new Kim Kardashian super bowl ad for shoes and a shot of an over-exposed backside. Our values are skewed by pretty opportunists.

The reporter guy's intro is kinda funny to me... "yeah live at the SCENE OF THE CRIME" all sarcastic like he has some better news to cover.

As a fellow ginger I feel I have to post about the Kick a Ginger Day just as some sort of courtesy to my fellow gingers. Can I just give a big WTF?! shout to the kids that beat up a boy with red hair. As if life isn't rough enough for a boy with the genetic mutation of red hair. Seriously? We have to kick him because of it? Jesus. When I read stuff like this I'm only reminded about how bored kids today have become. I reject your reality and substitute it for my own

Stalkers...good times. I read If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are.
Saw this truck today with an advertisement for The Wendy Williams show. I don't know why I was surprised. I mean..it makes perfect sense to advertise on a huge mack truck right? Anyways...not the exact picture of what I saw because my phone was in denial of what I wanted to do and wouldn't let me take a picture. The truck I saw was a gas truck. So strange...

Shorter...
A Shorter Route To Communication by Mark Allen
I heard this little clip on NPR while driving home tonight and it made me chuckle. Technology has invaded our attention spans in ways we don't even realize yet.
read a little below or listen to the whole clip above....
All Things Considered, July 8, 2009· Best line of the year for me? Shorter. I sent an e-mail that was four sentences long to one of my bosses, and he sent a one-word reply back from his Blackberry: Shorter—one time he jokingly mentioned that I sent long-winded e-mails (I do, sometimes). This e-mail I sent was just quick, information, work-related...and I needed answers.
At first I thought it was a weird typo, but indeed it was him, telling me to make my e-mail to him shorter. Basically re-type it, shorter, and submit it again for his "is-it-short-enough" approval. And his e-mail was an example for me on how to do that. Because he's savvier than me, that's why. Not even a period, just "Shorter". Even the "Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry" at the bottom was longer. I didn't even respond. It's probably because he's very into the one-sentence blogging social network sites like Facebook and Twitter, which he still uses constantly (but if you ask him, he'll tell you he's "over" them).
Anyway, it's now my new favorite response to anyone, at anytime, for anything. I've been saying it to my boyfriend all day. I just say "shorter" and walk away. Next time someone you don't like hassles you about something and uses more than two syllables to do it, just calmly say "shorter" and walk out of the room. Try it! It's brilliant!
Tickets to my funeral go on presale at 10am tomorrow.

| Does anyone else think the whole tickets to a funeral is strange? I heard there is a guy selling his tickets for Michael Jackson's funeral on eBay for $1500. I can't imagine showing up to someone's funeral that I didn't know personally. Famous or not. Much less paying or waiting in line for tickets. Its just so odd to me. I get how someone famous can influence your life but it just seems strange the connections we make to who we think someone is. Someone we don't even know on a one on one personal level. I guess I am just out of touch with how the words tickets and funeral even make their way into the same sentence.

So, they are showing the photo op of the plane flying around New York and how it was supposed to be secret. No one knew but the military and the NYPD. WTF? Don't we have technology now where a photo op such as a plane near buildings can be recreated with a computer rather than scarring the shit out of people in downtown New York?

I just finished watching Obama's speech to congress. It's so refreshing to have a president who can actually give a speech without fumbling through it. Obama is such an uplifting speaker! I loved hearing the cheers in the audience! Excitement about a president speaking from the heart.

“Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.”
Kidding aside though,I've gone through a few points in my head about this and the first one that goes without saying is WTF?! (but I said it didn't I?) I was reading how the parent group, parents television council , said this song was definitely not about a girl named Amy. Also that parents need to be aware of this recording. Seriously, I can think of a half dozen other songs to be concerned with and even at that, its music for god sake. Whatever happened to expressing yourself freely? Whatever happened to turning the dial or not buying something you think is personally offensive? Parent groups have their purpose but in all honesty, they probably just incited about 1 million more curious minds to go buy the album or song from itunes just to hear the f word spelled out. I can't lie and say I am a huge Britney fan because I'm not but I think as an artist or entertainer (whatever you think she is), isn't the F word the least of our worries about her? If we think about her at all? I read a Fox article that was concerned not only about the F word being spelled out but also that the "B" word was being used on a song too. Meanwhile Christina Aguilera has a song called "Keeps Getting Better" that is in a Target ad where the lyrics say "sometimes I'm a super bitch". Of course the bitch part is muted but there is nothing said about this. No controversy. It's all a game of who the media feels is an easy target or full throttle into another publicity stunt.
