Things I have learned
When someone says they are worried about you, there is no way to say “I am okay” without them thinking you are just saying that.
Cancer: Your Week Ahead: Try not to compare yourself too directly to anyone else this week. Your situation may seem superficially similar but there is a deceptive difference. What works for another person may not work for you. Resist the temptation to adopt a role model, to seek guidance or to listen, too attentively, to unsolicited advice. You are in the process of finding out what you need to...

Sometimes I search for people on Facebook even though I know I would never friend them in a million years. Sometimes I do it every few months and I see their new profile photo - I just like to know they are out there, they are okay, they are living their lives. Of course I am also totally curious about them.
I search for my best friend from high school. On my 16th birthday he gave me a card which...

Judging by Scott Brown’s victory speech, opposition to due process has become just another mundane element of the Republican platform:
And let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay...

Check out the new CHIRP Radio station from Chicago. It’s pretty awesome. And my dude’s fabulous sister, Mary, hosts a show at 12PM Central Time today. So listen!
Weekend
On Friday I went out to have drinks with my friend, Meg, and we had a lot of fun. I have only known her for like a year now and it is nice to have a “new friend” who is funny and smart and interesting. Not that my old friends suck (I love them!) but it is nice to learn about someone you really like.
Yesterday Bob and I went to have Indian food for lunch then we went downtown and...

Doubt

Am I the only person who doubts the validity of Sleep Talkin’ Man? People have been forwarding this around all week and it just doesn’t ring true. I have no doubt that this man talks in his sleep often, and sometimes says funny things like, “Legs time! Everybody get your legs!”, but I don’t think he says, “I’d rather peel off my skin and bathe my weeping raw flesh in a bath of...
Heidi Montag is gross. →
The Hills star spent three years working on Superficial, which features songs like “I’ll Do It,” in which she tells a lover to “come eat my panties off of me.” R-rated lyrics or not, she tells Seacrest that “it’s very personal, empowering music…just about living life and enjoying every moment and living it up—definitely club music.”
Wow....

We used to write dirty text messages.
Me: My back is fucked up.
Him: Mine too. It hurts when I tie my shoes.
Me: We are sad and old.
Him: The new Geritol is great! There's a new Old Country Buffet closer than the one we usually go to!
Me: There is? I have never been there. I know there's one by the mall...
Him: I was joking. Like Things Old People Would Say.
Me: Oh.
Him: ...
Me: I don't know the difference between jokes about old people and our real conversations.
