Drama eaters!
jilllian:
It saddens me a bit that people would rather read anguished things than happier scribblings.
Why is that, anyway?
Why are we tuned to listen so much harder for the hurt?
Pain sells ratings, ratings sell advertising space, advertising space gives money, money lines pockets, souls are sold back and forth in many ways… this is just one of them.

Florida Is Scrambling Crocodiles' Brains With...
“Strapping a magnet to a crocodile’s head seems like two counts of animal cruelty for the price of one, just to appease old people in Florida who are racist against crocodiles in their backyards.
Florida state wildlife officials are taping magnets to poor crocodiles’ heads when they catch them in people’s yards or wherever they’re not wanted (because people are...
I'm missing a wonderful photo opportunity
I wish I was in New Orleans today.
This is my little brother...
He likes taking pictures too. I particularly like this one of him.
Awww
I want a Corgi so bad…
Do you think a Corgi could live out of a car? I bet it could… but then what would I do with him during work hours? Mrr.. and it would probably hurt my roomability in most places.
Don’t worry buddy… one day you and I will meet and never be seperated. <3

Steak and BJ Day →
jilllian:
“March 14th is now officially “Steak and Blowjob Day”. Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you care for him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. Thats it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine’s Day and Steak and...

Ah Geek Courting
That is all I have to say on that.
Okay... seriously. Coffee rocks face face.
Do you sip your coffee from a demitasse? Is your pinky extended? Gah! Coffee should be strong, black and chewy! It should strip paint and frighten small children. Finally, it should be drunk from a vessel that is worthy of the finest caffeinated beverage on the planet.
Any mug you dare drink coffee from should be big enough to hold 20 ounces of Joe, and be big and heavy enough to use as a melee...
I really like coffee...
There’s a little animal in Vietnam which has magical properties. Locally, it’s called a weasel (though technically, it’s a type of civet, but let’s call it a weasel like the locals) and it sure likes to eat the fruit of the coffee plant. But the seeds don’t sit well in its tummy, so it vomits them up. And that’s where the fun comes in - for local coffee folks...
Nerf... the greatest office wartime weapon ever.
Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS 35
The Nerf brand turns 40 this year, and is apparently having a mid-life crisis. Sporting a “digital camo” paint job, the just-announced Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS 35 ($35; Fall 09) is the highest dart capacity Nerf blaster yet, featuring a collapsible stock, Tactical Rail System, and a new drum magazine that holds 35 darts. Its...

So I was at the vet today. Both of my dogs rabies shot was due and Conner has a skin infection. While I was at the front desk getting checked in this older lady standing there finishing up her transaction begins to talk with me. Being polite I talk back. She tells me about her cat, named Jazzy Poo, because she is a Jazz musician herself and her dead dog. Then out of the...
Long exposures and coolness
This by far is one of the neatest night photography shots I’ve seen.
Oh the things I've done... for money.
It has occurred to me that my resume is simply too truthful. I’ve done a lot in my work life that can be applied to management types of positions that I do not promote well enough to get me a happy job in leadership. I need to do something about this.
The following is a list of my career experience:

Tow both your camp and your gear with the Airstream Panamerica ($TBA).

In true Airstream fashion, the main cabin features plenty of living space, a double bed, and a modern interior —...

And it’s my job to dispense it all day long! Woosh!
Woooo
Last night was a ball of fun. There are times when I wish I could be just as light hearted and carefree as those who were around me last night.
Then again, if that were the case I wouldn’t be able to watch such antics with someone I enjoy sharing smiles with. I was more than happy to sit back and watch.

jilllian:
I’m freaking fantastic at it.
I should list it as a job skill.
Like getting in bed with monsters leads to tickling?
Gives me shivers
Where does one find houses like these? I must know!

Moist, tender, and lightly sweet, I enjoy the taste of you in my mouth. Golden colour, gossamer texture, bewitching scent, come-hither look.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Now this is what we call an upgrade. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ($10) includes the original text of Jane Austen’s novel, spiced up with new portions featuring viloent, flesh-hungry zombie hordes. To compliment the new gore, the updated book also has 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock, the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice.

That’s fucking dumb.
We should need it most on the nights we are excited about the exercise.

FIX IT, UNIVERSE. FIX IT NOW!
The Universe does not bend to our will, nor does it have a will with which to bend us. It is simply the bed in which the river of space and time flows. What we must learn to do is to follow the flow instead of fighting against it. The...
Responsibility: How to bring down the common man.
So this morning I received a notice on my door saying that I have not paid my rent and that if I do not pay it in so many days they will evict me, blah blah blah. Annoyingly I actually sent in my rent check via USPS. Why did I do this? Because they have no drop box and their office hours conflict with my work hours. Sodding Hell.
This of course means I have to do the following. I must spend money...
