Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?
I've seen those english dramas too
They're cruel
So if there's any other way
To spell the word
It's fine with me, with me
Why would you speak to me that way
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction dripping with disdain
Through the pain
I always tell the truth
Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?
I climbed to dharamsala too, I did
I met the highest lama
His accent sounded fine
To me, to me
Check your handbook
It's no trick
Take the chapstick
Put it on your lips
Crack a smile
Adjust my tie
Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?
First the window, then it's to the wall
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth
Check your passport
It's no trick
Take the chapstick
Put it on your lips
Crack your smile
Adjust my tie
Know your butler, unlike other guys
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?
First the window, then it's through the wall
Why would you tape my conversations?
Show your paintings
At the united nations
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Live life fully and love unconditionally. Be human. Feel love and let yourself be loved. Feed your soul.
Careful not to do these things at the expense of others. It will destroy you, unconditionally.
about me
'Tis to create, and in creating live
A being more intense, that we endow
With what form our fancy, gaining as we give
The life we image.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
-Thomas Paine
From "Revenge - Un Récit d'Obsessions Érotiques" - Ellen Von Unwerth (who is so completely effin awesome)
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.
-- A. A. Milne
Every once in a while, I miss the "weather". Of course you only snowdance when you think no one is watching. This person got caught. :)
Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.

"The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths."

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

“... joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
-Kahlil Gibran
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
- Charles Bukowski, In Religion
True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.

I don't want to live...I want to love first, and live incidentally.

Erica is a lovely girl, spirited and full of life. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and she never forgot how to play! And when she is serious, she is straightforward and compassionate; she thinks of how other people feel while setting an example of self-respect. As a mother, Erica's loving, practical, and thoughtful, and anyone can see from her child's friendly and smart behavior that she's doing a great job there too. Erica means a lot to me, and I'm happy we're in each other's lives.
December 12, 2006
Erica it's been awesome getting to know you over the last 15 or so years. You have been a friend, a roommate, a co-conspirator and so much more. I admire your ability to be blunt and honest with people.
It doesn't matter how busy we get or how many months elapse between our conversations, it's like we were just talking yesterday.
July 3, 2006
Erica is one of those people I've met in my life and had a sudden connection with. Sometimes it takes a bit to get to know someone, but we have always been able to share so much about ourselves without reservation. She's a gem that way.
We also think SO Much alike, it's frightening. Seriously. We finish each other's sentences sometimes or stared at each other in wide-eyed amazement when we realize our heads were in the exact same place...and then we just start cracking up or smile and nod.
I adore Erica and am SO thankful she moved back to Cali! She is an absolutely WONDERFUL friend!! Ooooh, and I can't wait for us to both have our roller-skates and hit the road on 'em. Hopefully not with our knees...but we'll just have to wait and see. We'll be the ones with the camouflage helmets and knee pads hoping to not be seen right away...at least until we are good enough for roller derby...then we'll wear bright PINK!

Okay, for some reason people are writing about Erica in a non-demeaning fashion...
...for good reason! She's the person in a group of friends that seems to have more shit going on, more real factors agitating her life, more actual trauma. But does she let you know about it?
YES! And she's damn proud of it!
Erica puts up with a lot and gives a lot, which makes her, I dunno, a give up and make up kind of girl. But more importantly, she is excessively friendly, even when she shouldn't be, and she names things that shouldn't be named. Like tomato plants and unreconcilable differences.
Try not to take too much shit, Erica. If you overflow, who knows what could happen?

Imagine, your favorite drinking buddy. the guy you shoot pool with, and check out hot chicks with. The dude you would call if you have an extra ticket to the forty niner's game.
Okay you got it? Pretty cool huh? Okay now make him a super hot chick!
Sublime :-)

This girl makes me wanna yell out every James Brown explitive at once...
"Jump back I wanna kiss myself!"
"Lookedyah! Ha!"
"Hot pants- smokin? that-hot pants"
"Lord have mercy, hey, hey, hey, hey!"
"Mama, come here quick, bring me that lickin' stick."
What else is there to say? I could fill pages! But she basically rocks the earth with her easy style, her beautiful smile, her legs up to THERE, and her loving ways. Plus, she's a hot mom.
I check this guy's Blog EVERYDAY now for new ones because it slays me. I love this guy. :) I'm sharing today's silly blog because it has the least amount of swearing but for context you should read some others. Anyhoo, here ya go. Happy Friday!

All over the newspapers and the internet, it seems like black voters in California are getting the brunt of the blame for Prop 8 passing. Of course I was very much against Prop 8 but more than anything, I'm against this sort of rampant fingerpointing that only serves stir up mistrust and resentment. I was going to leave it alone but the more outrageous claims I hear, the more angry I get.
I keep reading, "African American voters had no trouble voting overwhelmingly for the man who will b...

I have been an absentee voter for a while now but since I moved from Vallejo, I failed to return the form so I dropped Ian off at school and headed to my polling location. The line was around the block. Wowee! At first I dreaded the long line and though I was in that line for an hour, it was fine. I was in a great mood, as well as everyone else there. Everyone was chatting and laughing and even the volunteers handed out coffee to us while we waited on this crisp, November morning. When ...

Phony Virginia Flier Tells Dems To Vote November 5
By Zachary Roth - October 27, 2008, 5:04PM
A phony flier, purporting to be from the Virginia Board of Elections, is circulating in the African-American-heavy Hampton Roads region of the state, falsely informing people that, because of expected high turnout, Democrats should vote on November 5th.
The election is November 4th.
State election officials informed the local press of the flier, which was posted on the website of The Virgin...
