I’m so glad this group is on campus. It’s about time non-believers had somewhere to go besides Campus Crusade for Cthulhu which, ironically enough, started as a joke and has become a religion.
Metro State Atheists also won the Student Organization of the Year award for their hard work and activism.
Values and morals: Not just for religion anymore!
Patton Oswalt has a kid now.
This fact depresses me. Not because I wanted to have his kid - no, the whole parenthood thing is definitely not my cup of tea - but because I’m afraid he will get soft.
Parents do that. They have to focus all their energy on keeping little ones alive and 18+ years molding them in to responsible adults. Sometimes parents lose themselves in the process; that’s not a complaint, it’s a fact, and any parent who does less is not a good one.
Doesn’t mean I necessarily want to be around them anymore, though.
At least he managed to link his new daughter to the movie Crank 2 in this MySpace post.
Still, I don’t dare hope.
I say no! So go play at this incredibly weird and wonderful site.
I don’t know if it’s safe for work or not, since I’ve only explored a small bit of it thus far.
Gots things to do.
Yeah, I’ve had a night like that before myself. A lot of us have.
Texts From Last Night exists to make us all feel a little better about it.
Just for fun, click the link and search for “mom.”
Cringe-worthy fun for everyone!
Living in fear is to live without risk … and that is boring as all hell!
Stick your neck out and dare people to bring down the axe. Stare in to the abyss and when it sees you yell “Hellooo down there! Anything new?!” Tune in to the Interzone and listen to Dr. Benway, even when he doesn’t have your best interest at heart. Accept the responsibility of adulthood, but refuse to grow old. Work hard, play hard. Take your personal demons to lunch with the promise of an all-you-can-eat buffet and then feed ‘em salad, just to see what happens. Praise be to Bob or [insert deity’s name / favorite crutch here]. Be spontaneously pragmatic and passionately ambivalent.
The risks are worth the rewards AND the lessons. I wouldn’t be here without those lessons myself and the baggage? It gets smaller every day.
And when someone doesn’t approve, tell them to fuck off, they’re just jealous. Then dance circles around ‘em. They HATE that.
Sometimes I’m on other people’s blogs when the ether speaks.
Tom Robbins is in town this evening signing his new children’s book for grown-ups / grown-up book for children, B is for Beer.
I managed to get myself a copy and a ticket for the book signing. All it took was a little planning and getting up an hour earlier than usual.
I’m tired, but I’m happy.
Angie Zapata was brutally murdered in Greeley, Colorado in July 2008. Angie was a transgender woman and she was murdered because of anti-transgender bias.
Worse, the public defenders in the murder trial kept calling Angie by her biologically male name. Ostensibly, this was to defend her accused killer, Allen Andrade, but it is actually the best way to demean the victim and make it sound like her death was her own fault.
The crime itself has made me sick, but the behavior of these defense attorneys is reprehensible. This is a hate crime perpetrated on a transgendered person who was out to her family, friends, and the general public. SHE was a SHE and will always BE. Your client, on the other hand, is a hate-filled, cold-blooded murderer.
For more information on this case, see the Angie Zapata website.
And give to your local LBGT organization.
You are unique … just like everyone else.
I’m scared to be your friend. But you know that, because you’re scared too. This is because we both know people suck.
Pride is still my favorite sin.
No one is safe, you know that.
I fuck your ex on a regular basis, but it occurred to me during our most recent encounter that we both stopped talking about you a long time ago.
As old as I get, I always know this: I’ll never be as dead inside as you are.
I haven’t done anything for 10 years going, but six-and-counting is pretty damned good based on past history.
The first rule of Fight Club is … oh, nevermind. If I were you, I’d talk about it too.
Do you still beat your wife? That was an unfair question. You’re not married. Do you still beat your girlfriend?
I miss you, but I’m willing to wait until it’s really, truly, genuinely over. I’ve got time. You don’t, though.
Good to see you’ve gotten over it. Now tell a friend. You know who I mean.
Sometimes love means letting go. And yes, it’s supposed to taste like a shit sandwich. If it didn’t, you wouldn’t learn not to eat shit sandwiches.
Thundersnow is real.
Did you friend me because you like me or because you want to keep an eye on me? If it’s the latter, let’s have coffee.
I don’t believe in life after death, but I do believe in life BEFORE death.
Just … stop it.
