Homecoming Controversy Arises At Mesquite High →

I’m sorry…WHAT? Watch the video on the right, under KTVT Video. Now, tell me please, did I actually hear the announcer report that although the school dance ticket cost $30, while some parents spent up to A GRAND on their kids’ dresses and make up??! W-O-W. Talk about warped priorities, not to mention tackiness galore. Then again, this is the south where they love to enroll their toddlers in elaborate pageants that entail vast costume changes, lame talent displays, and heavy cake stage make up.
WELCOME TO AMURRICAH!

“Everything in life is connected somehow. You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything is still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.”

“Anything, anything would be better than this agony of mind, this creeping pain that gnaws and fumbles and caresses one and never hurts quite enough.”

This is why I am not quick to listen to the “experts” when they tell you to drink/eat soya/açaí products until you drop. These professional opinions, somehow, are always subject to change after more, um, thorough inspection.

If you live on the world’s best island, Manhattan, and like having a good time (see: drinking), then do check this sweet site out for details on the latest events including karaoke nights, comedy clubs, beer pong (pretty sure any bar that has beer pong is going to be filled with 15 year old suburban kid’s with fake IDs, and sleazy 30-somethings trying to get it in with them, but hey! whatever floats your boat, I guess?) — and much more!
Enjoy! And be sure to spread the news, the love.

This article, nevertheless, gave me a hearty laugh. ROTFL!
Don’t worry, Justin. I’ve still got that contagious Bieber fever!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost, New Hampshire 1933

WTF?!: Women of color continue to be notoriously underrepresented →

Ughh when will America learn that there is more than one color in the rainbow?!
“While each of the other three (all oft-used, not to mention skinny and Caucasian) cover girls are shown off in full-body glamour shots wearing stylish clothes, Sidibe is cropped at the mid-chest, with a swath of ruched green fabric hiding her curvy frame. Plus, her skin appears to be lighter.”

Who needs love?
Screw love
Love is for suckers
Been there, done that
And always the same ending
It ends.
Who needs love?
Not me, that’s for sure
Love just makes things worse
Too much fantasy and not enough reality
I hate love
I spit on love
I love LOVE
I NEED LOVE

Would You Drop $15M on a Ring? →
news.yahoo.com
This ring, to be auctioned in New York next month, could go for as much as $15 million buckaroos. While glimpsing at Yahoo! I noticed this picture and the beautiful blue hit my eye instantly. Still, that’s a lot of money. Isn’t spending this kind of money on a ring somewhat…decadent? Just because you have it, doesn’t qualify anybody worthy of blowing it. Perhaps my social conscience can be described as “overbearing” by some, and I’m all about living it up — and living large at times! — but I don’t know if I would sleep at night knowing that while some have nothing at all in this big lonely world, I’m rockin’ fifteen million dollar rings.
Just sayin’.

At Peace
Listless in bed,
I lay listening to the busy New York City streets of the upper east side.
Over the faint din of traffic I hear, looming upward from the ground
all the way up through my 25th story windows,
the lull of an aged man singing the Quran.
Tonight
—for the first time in many nights —
I will sleep soundly.
