Feelings Are Mentionable And Manageable

Why are there so few people who really care about children, and the adults that children become?

Fred Rogers earns PBS $20M. Best. Fundraiser. Ever.


I had forgotten that he liked us, just as we are. Why didn't we form a religion around this guy?

Jeremy Effin Clarkson

Watching TV for the first time months, run across a Top Gear episode.

Clarkson has hooked up a V-8 engine to some kind of industrial mixer. Into this mixture he has placed raw beef, Tabasco, some brown drink, a cement brick, and some other stuff.

To activate the mixer he turned a key. To increase the mix speed he had an accelerator pedal.

James May actually sipped some of the final concoction.

This show is insanely awesome and awesomely insane.

It's weird what you wake up with in your head.

I think this is the part where I'm supposed to talk about how some people really don't seem to understand what's going on in my life. Because if they did, surely they wouldn't treat me the way they have.

But I don't want to spend another post whining about my life. It's hard to express, but I am super stressed out--I'm very much on the edge. I guess either it's hard to tell that, or people just don't believe it. It's pretty rough to get lectured when you thought everything was okay, you were planning responsibly (or so you thought), and you were really focused on having a good time with your friends.

In other words, I know I'm a fuck up. I really don't need anybody reminding me of this. I live it every day.

I have to give a shout-out to Handy J, who gave me some awesome, sage-like, and deceptively sweet advice.


another night slips away
in other words i should say
there are no words he should say
there are no words

JUSTICE!!!!!

If you seek to fuck with elderly, then you seek your doom.

I wish this would happen every time some jerk goes into road rage mode.

They Want To Control Your Interwebz

Please be aware and pass this along. Greedy companies trying to make more money.

Imagine if your Internet service was like cable---in the sense that there are certain "packages" and some things aren't available depending on price, location, and whatever kickback deals the telecom services have.

NO NO NO

Those greedy fuckers have rights and liens and licenses and fees on everything else---the Internet needs to remain content-management-free.

Spread the word. And also: fuck Verizon.

Not My Best Planning

Perhaps I should not have stayed up all night.

However, I did get to rewatch Equilibrium and get my first viewing of the seminal Tuff Turf.

It honestly made for some of the most satisfying media I have consumed in some time.

Today...ugh. Today.

This Made Me Smile

Jerry's living the good life. I wish I could make a living out of driving my pals around and shooting the shit.

Verizon Continues To Suck, Wants More Money For Sucking

When will rich enough ever be rich enough?

Not only are Verizon horrible to their current customers and quite likely engaged in illegal bill generation and collection practices, they want you to pay them more for their douchebaggery.

I can't even think about this, it makes me so angry.

Please post this info around. Your internet is a service you pay for--and it's also one of the last bastions of communication that isn't totally driven by big interests and sponsors.

Oh Shit, We Got Old

I could go on a nostalgic, bittersweet rant right now--this brings up so many memories.

I wonder if the person I was would find anything familiar in the person I am now.

I wanted to believe that the truth is out there, but everything dies. Except Scully. She never dies. ;)

X Files--20 Year Anniversary

I Wish Someone Had Said This About Me

I wish that I was this kind of person. A brief look at Jim Henson, Muppets, booze, and the "elegance of kindness."
