Did you notice that we've stopped watching "reality tv" and now it's just TV? It still sucks, but now it's lumped together with all the other crappy programs on TV today.
This year is the bikini's 60 anniversary.
THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR PEOPLE MARRIED FOR SIXTY YEARS TO WEAR BIKINIS!
There are diurnal owls too.
A street light has been flickering on my street for two months and no one's called to get it fixed for free by the city, but the moment a headlight begins to dim we take our cars to the shop to fix it at cost to us.
Why do bottled waters taste different from each other?
To anyone who ever thought bottled water wasn't a scam. Evian, the name of a brand of bottled water, written backwards spells "naive".
If there's something called "deep space" is there also a "shallow space"? Is it between the ears of our president?
Why do white socks never turn white again after their first use?
The blue dye used in the socks worn by the predecessor to the Boston Red Sox was poisonous and potentially harmful if gotten into wounds.
The first game ever played at Fenway park was the Boston Red Sox versus the New York Islanders (the predecessor to the Yankees). The Red Sox won.
By and large, white baseball players get paid less on average than their minority counterparts.
George Carlin is 69 years old and is taking full advantage of it.
Bill Gates should go pressure the Wal-Mart children for donations to his charity.
Dan Rather was a scapegoat and no one who actually watched CBS Evening News wanted him to step down. Conservatives disgraced the career of a legendary broadcaster and the majority of Americans are going to be fooled by it.
Bill Clinton does not look as healthy as he did when he was killing himself with fast food.
President Bush said he wanted to increase the Pell Grant for college students, but his restructuring of it saved the government 270 million dollars and eliminated 81,000 people from its services.
Lincoln only freed the slaves to win a war.
Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod but refused to patent it saying that it was his gift to the world. And indeed, it is now used worldwide.
In 18th century Boston, if lightning were to strike a building causing it to catch on fire, they would not put the fire out on the building it struck but only on those it spread to calling the lightning strike an act of God.
Google has over 660 million entries for "sex" but only half that for marriage or wedding. Teehee, liberalism rules.
AND 1.34 billion entries for war, just 585 million for peace. (Pathetic isn't it)
The energy of one lightning bolt would power NYC for a year.
Sex relieves depression. Well actually orgasm does, so you could do it yourself if you want. But I see no better excuse to give your unwilling partner.
The Beatles' voices were never as high as they seem on many of their records, they were altered.
Mt. Everest is not the tallest mountain in the world and is getting shorter every day.
What did people do before toilet paper was invented?
Outhouse is a paradox and a pun at the same time.
There are places in India where the population density exceeds 450,000 people per square mile!
And finally... Sex before marriage is not immoral. They just say it is because they aren't getting any.

Liberality
Well it occurred to me that I do a lot of opinionating here now and again. So below are what I consider to be the top five liberal news outlets online. They are all completely free and available to everyone. On the same train of thought, the links also will now permanently sit on the side bar directly above the Guest Book link.
1. http://www.tompaine.com/ - a personal favorite of mine. With well-written, professional liberal essays, very few ads (all on topic), and a clear mission statement, I find this to be the most accessible, functional, and practical liberal news site online today.
2. http://www.rawstory.com/ - news from all corners of the globe and all subjects, liberal of course. A little difficult to navigate, but well written. Biggest downside- numerous absurd ads.
3. http://www.commondreams.org/ - a vast archive of liberal op-ed's from the likes of Howard Zinn, Cindy Sheehan, and many, many others.
4. http://cursor.org/ - provides numerous links to magazines, newspapers, and other outlets of the liberal leaning. Proves useful for vast quantities of links.
5. http://www.democraticunderground.com/ - provides a blog service for public debate. Join with your peers and learn a little at the same time.
Well that's it. I figured five would be enough, but there are far more out there. For more links visit this website or do the hip thing and google it:

Wake Up and Pay Attention
I'll tell you, life ain't like a box of chocolates. Sometimes you can know what you're gonna get. It's just those fools who think that it hasn't been staring them in the face for the last number of years that really have it coming to them. You see, I'd make a bet that it's completely possible to know exactly how someone's feeling at any moment of the day. And, more so, it is possible to read someone like a book, if you only push the right buttons, go about cracking their defenses the right way.
It's devious really. But dead useful. Mothers seem to be particularly good at this I've noticed. They always seem to know what's wrong. But I'd beg to say that anyone can do it. You just have to look out for the signs. A twitch, a smirk, a tear. All signs of a feeling or idea. All information usable for your advantage.
I know it can be devious. But dead useful to, remember. How better to better your relationships then to know exactly how your partner feels? How they think? What they need? I can't think of one. So sharpen up that intuitiveness and take it for a spin. Just know one thing. It is by far easier to analyze the feelings and thoughts of another when they are not involved with you. When it is personal, your emotions and thoughts cloud your judgment and more times than not leave you oblivious to even the most obvious hints. If successful, your partner will thank you for the effort. Even if they don't realize it.

Just a Little Bit
Life sucks sometimes you know, sucks the big one, but then sometimes it's real good. I dunno why, but I'd sure like to find out.
Hey, I'm not the happiest person in the world, I know that. But I try and that should count for something. People don't really understand that well. I have my reasons. You can cheer me up, make me happy, but really, you'll never understand. And I don't blame you. No I don't. Not in the least. I don't want people to know. To know is to know weakness, pain, my innermost thoughts and desires. To survive in this world you have to be strong. Unfortunately that means alienating yourself from yourself sometimes, think of Beetlebrox in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for example.
I am not an emo asshole. I don't like people who whine about their feelings I've never been in a band and I don't like their music. I am too matured, a product of my life experience, to care. I like graphic violence. Oh hell yeah I do. I like graphic sex. The more the merrier.
I do want to say one thing, and some won't believe me I know, but I don't care. I have never been truly angry at anyone outside of my own family. Never. In my mind, anything anyone could do to me pales in comparison to the hell that my family life has been over the years. But I won't tell most people about those things and I try not to think about it.
Music is my redemption. Listening not playing. Rock only please. The only true music style in my mind. Nothing is like the power of music. It brings me to a place where I make the rules. Where I'm happy and anything's possible. Nothing like listening to my headphones, tuning the world out, or blasting the fucking hell out of the neighbors ear drums and vibrating the plaster off the walls. Hell yeah!
I don't care who reads this, seriously not at all. I didn't really say anything at all. Just scratching the surface. Figured that someone out there might like to know that there are real people out there with real problems. The kind you don't go to therapy for. The kind that you don't whine and cry about. The kind that are best fought rather than shared.
Life sucks. Well for the most part. But I do hope that for you it doesn't suck quite as much as it has for me over the years. And you couldn't understand how much it sucked. If you truly genuinely care to know, then ask. But no one does. And I don't blame them. No one wants to feel bad. And I don't want to have others feel sorry for me. That really gets me annoyed.
Just remember that everything I am now is a product of my past and of my trying to escape it. But everyday it gets a bit better. It's a long way going still and the hardest part is yet to come. We'll all move on eventually. Hopefully sooner than later. I am not emo. Just in case there was any misinterpretation. This is serious shit.
