Calm down. Calm down. You didn’t miss it. It’s not here yet (thank goodness). However, as that foreboding “halfway point” (between my last birthday and the next one) came and went, I realized two things. The first? There’s definitely an inverse relationship between the accelerating speed of time between these menacing milestones and… your metabolism. The second? This: Hmmm. Well, I gave optimism a shot and was promptly cock-blocked by.. Read More
Tag! Is 15 year old YOU in any of these snappies?
Hi there 🙂 If you were linked to this, you probably have that same “Oh shit… How bad did I look?” feeling we all had a million years ago when we finally got back a pack of party pics from the weekend. This was when you’d have to wait at least an hour to see if a “retake” was needed, had to buy a whole new roll of film to.. Read More
Japan’s 2 year anniversary
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Japan’s horrific disaster. The Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami creamed coastal towns, wreaking devastating death tolls, inducing nuclear power catastrophes, and leaving locals itinerant and inconsolable. Haunted and hurt by the trauma they’d just endured, they hunted for the loved ones they prayed were still alive. On this 2nd anniversary of the event, one would hope to see a “before and.. Read More
I’ll have what you’re having…
Me: Put out food bowl for Minnie. Her: Looks at it, then me, then turns up nose, and lays down. Me: Put away bowl and make myself cup of soup 5 minutes later. Her: Looks frantically for food bowl like she’s Oliver Twist and I’m a horrible and neglectful owner. My Soup: Gets cold as I reheat up her dog food. Furry daughters always come first – even when they’re.. Read More
The Princess & The Prostitute
CARTOON SLAGS Oh, boobs! Disney was the jump start that shot me into spending my youth praying for the day I’d have some D’s to display. I mean, their various pretty protagonists shared other attractive features also – wide eyes, slim physiques, and inflection injected voices laden with laughter; but nothing spoke to my inner 8 year-old-going-on-18 like the pert plus twos each of them proudly postured up and out..

“Get My Good Side”
Tell me: Is a “symmetrical” face attractive? Well, eff what YOU think; Wikipedia says so, so it must be: It wasn’t until later on in my life (during some high school art class or whatever) that I realized our faces aren’t perfectly symmetrical. I mean, how could it be? Whether that kid sitting next to me who had bacne and talked like Chris from Family Guy was facing left or.. Read More
If the shades fit… fare the cost.
YOU PAID $500 FOR SUNGLASSES?! A girlfriend recently shared her excitement with the Facebook community regarding some Chanel sunglasses whose arrival she had anxiously awaited after losing an identical pair. In any case, her picture’s caption included what some might deem a hefty price tag: Anyway, she asked me to chime in and give my opinion on the matter, which naturally meant I had to skim through the commentary on..

Someone famous gets ignored because people are busy going to work.
Wonderful post about this violin-player-in-a-subway video here: After reading, I couldn’t help but concur. If you didn’t click the link above, the best part about this video is how they time the fast parts of the music to the fast-forward part of the editing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myq8upzJDJc&feature=player_embedded Also, I know I’ll sound uncultured, but I didn’t know who the hell was Joshua Bell before hand. It’s just like the Tyra analogy mentioned.. Read More
What If God is… ALL of us?
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW? Many movies from about ten years ago might seem slightly dated. Artistically, some of them stand the test of time, and others don’t even have to rely on their dramatic quality because the content is so timeless. What The Bleep Do We Know? is among these, simply because it is more of a documentary delving into the quantum mechanics of life, and how it.. Read More
When Worlds Collide
So, the Milky Way is on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy. When that happens, it’ll look pretty much like a glitter explosion of light and color. But, not to worry; the sun will probably explode, fizz out, or whatever before that has a chance to transpire. Plus, we’ll all likely be dead by then already, seeing as I have strong faith in the devolution of man until real.. Read More
