Be Honest
With yourself, with others, with everyone. Take your secrets and your fears and your inadequacies and show them to the world. There is nothing more freeing, and no better feeling of complete happiness, than when you are simply honest. Don’t be honest because the world deserves it, because it does not, but you do.

But you don’t get nothin’ done.”

Songs from the Morning Commute
(via cwags)
Great song. Top five in my list of favorite Counting Crows songs.
I'll take care of you.
When you’re tired and lonely, when you hate the world, when you hate me, I’ll be there. When you’re heart is on fire, or cold and falling off the horizon, I’ll offer out my arms. When you need to be held up to keep climbing, or just to keep from tumbling down, I’ll offer up my back for support. When you need to talk something out, or just complain, my ears will never...

Twitter has jumped the shark
absurdlakefront:
My 68 year old father was talking to me about Twitter yesterday.
Twitter is officially uncool.
The sooner it dies the better. Unfortunately it won’t die, Google will buy it up int he next 6 months and monetize the shit out of it.

Sesame Street in recession?
youaremycoalmine:
So, uh…I just read this:
“As it heads towards its 40th anniversary, Sesame Street has been exported to almost 20 countries, each with their own characters. In the year 2000 Takalani Sesame was launched as the South African version of the show, and features Kami, an HIV-positive Muppet”
Seems un-necessary…but if it’s making people aware, I guess it’s okay.
With all of the...

Is there such a thing
as a pessimistic optimist? I’m always looking for the worst in things, because there is always something shitty in everything, but I always hope for the best, because there is always a silver lining. Maybe that just makes me a realist.
I shouldn’t drink when I have to go back to work.

Here's a confession.
havent-got-a-prayer:
Let it be known that I want to sound either British or Australian, and I am quite envious of anyone who truly does. It’s like you’re speaking sex appeal.
I’ve thought many times about moving to another part of the country just so I could forever put on an Irish accent without anyone knowing.

First day of the ACC Tournament always gets me pumped!
I am now a Big Ten guy, but I grew in Raleigh from 1980-1990 and even as a lad, I got so fired up for the ACC Tournament. I hated UNC so much back then. That was always the question in school: State or Carolina?
As my dad taught at NCSU and I went to all the football...

Catholic Governance Bill Dies In Connecticut →
Connecticut State Senator Michael McLachlan said: “The real purpose of this bill is payback to the bishops and pastors of the Roman Catholic Church in Connecticut for opposing gay marriage.” I think we need more of this. Let me qualify that by saying that I have no want to see the government make or enforce any law with respect to religion, but I want them to do some good bluffing. For too...

When I see people throwing trash out their car...
I want to fucking run them off the road, pull them out of the car, and beat the ever living shit out of them. If you can’t be bothered to hold onto a piece of paper, cigarette butt, fast food bag, whatever until you get to a place with a trash can then you deserve to have your ass beat in public.

Perfect.
Living with integrity means:
via 4footwonder:
Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships.
Asking for what you and need from others.
Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension.
Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values.
Making choices based on what YOU believe, and not what others believe.

I have a variety of voices
that I use to voice my dog’s half of our conversations. The only especially identifiable one is for when he is extremely excited over a very inconsequential item. A refilling of his water bowl, a new toy, the same treat he gets almost every single day. It is the voice of Lennie Small from “Of Mice and Men (John Malkovich adaptation). “Would you like some food buddy”...
