the book i immediately thought i would like to share, Ender’s Game, is on the list, but i’m not sure i know 20 light or non-readers.
also, i’ve already tricked most of my friends into reading that particular piece of fiction.
still, i like this idea.
This is cool, and I love giving my favorite books to people but… yeah, I can’t afford to give 20 of anything away right now...

i’ve been putting a lot of work into asking for a raise.
but i would totally cave for the option of a fucking office with a fucking door on it because these people never shut the fuck up.

Hip Hop Family Tree - Boing Boing →
(oldest comic at the bottom)
reminds me of yes yes y’all, which i was just thinking of re-reading last night.
one of my favorite anecdotes about the history of hip hop is how they plugged into the light poles to throw parties on the street. i suppose early rave culture had similar correlations with true warehouse parties.
i get that it’s somewhat criminal, but there’s just...
Arkansas Dem’s pet murdered, with ‘LIBERAL’... →
(WARNING: DON’T CLICK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THE DEAD CAT!)
Ken Aden, who’s running for the Arkansas’ third congressional district, came home last night to discover the family pet had been murdered and left on their front porch, as if the attacker wanted it to be discovered. The feline’s skull was bashed in, and an ominous message was carved into its side: “LIBERAL.”
wtf is wrong...

Why SOPA Is Dangerous →
First, if you are going to oppose a bill, you should know exactly what you’re opposing, not just the vague principle behind it. Second, it’ll provide you with a valuable insight: that these bills are written in an attempt to obscure the truth.

I wish...
I had the strength to stand up for myself from the beginning. I had the courage to admit I don’t want the normal things. I would speak up before I shut down.
Sometimes, I guess I just feel so desperate to be loved, to be included, to be normal I latch onto any sort of attention. It’s not really an conscious thing, but it happens.
And even when I see that what they love most is how I could change...

it’s fair to say i run away from my problems.
but how many times have you been in a mental hospital?
sometimes, you just gotta survive, ya know?
a scanner snarkly
what started of innocently enough with scanning paperwork for a dude legitimately named batman, has devolved into some pretty outrageous names for files on the server.
then it’s a race back to my desk to see if i can move the file off the server before any busybody pokes his nose into it.
this is my life.
my amazing fucking life.

there she goes
crying at my desk. perfect, perfect, perfect culmination of events this morning.
Stream of word vomit
When it comes down to it, I have to laugh and think, “Yeah, you should have seen it coming.” And so I’ll kick myself tonight and then tomorrow I’ll be done with it. Because it’s not even worth being mad about; I just want to be able to let it go. Maybe neither one is lying to me. (Why would they, really?) But it feels like they both are. So, I’m taking a step back to where I had intended to be in...

indymichelle:
Did you tell anyone (mostly your boss) that you wanted the job … or at least wanted to be considered?
Because people can be pretty dumb, even when they have good intentions. I have a guy that I am supervising right now who really wants to move to another area. But he hasn’t ever told anyone. No one is trying to hold him back, but they probably haven’t considered that he would...
Out for blood
I’m trying very hard not to cry about ALL THE THINGS, but having my good game hotpants attacked by shark week isn’t helping.

wa-wa-walsh
so, while i was out on vacation, instead of hiring a new receptionist (like we were told they were doing), the big boss filled the office manager position that i had suggested to my boss.
one the one hand, i’m glad we’re getting what we need.
on the other hand, none of these assholes even realized it’s what we needed until i pointed it out. so, in addition to not getting...

intent
i’ve never been great with resolutions, mostly because i was afraid to change, but, if superbetter taught me anything, i’ve learned that having a long-term goal to be mindful of really does help to shape the way i react to events in my daily life.
so, in 2012, i will work toward becoming more intentional in everything i do.
i will eat better food so i can lower my cholesterol (190 at...

Your blood thinks it's time to see other people.
We need to talk. It’s been several days since we were separated and to be honest…I’ve met someone who needs me more than you did.
Sure, we had some great times together…but you’ll generate more blood (in fact, in just a few more weeks, you will totally replaced me!)
I know it might not seem like it right now…but its better this way. Every two seconds, a...

2k11
if 2010 was the year that broke me physically, 2011 tried to be the year that did so emotionally. i ended a three-year relationship, was promoted, moved and was cut-off from a very important friend all within a few short months.
but, just as that broken bone made me stronger, so did these trials… eventually.
next month, i’ll celebrate my fifth anniversary with my company and...

my 16-year-old niece is currently demolishing me in words with friends.
now, i’m perfectly willing to admit that i drank a bottle of wine by myself tonight and i don’t have the patience to look for a better word once i’ve found a word to play…
but i’ve heard about her grades in school.
there’s no way this is legit.

Ok, what the fuck happened here? You don’t have to tell me, but I kinda want to punch this dude in the dick.
