“…dog owners were approximately 8.6 times more likely to be alive in 1 year...”

Complaints. Again.
1. The popular catchphrase among McCain supporters, “NOBAMA” is stupid and fairly uninventive. It really irritates me every time I see or hear it.
2. Saw this on facebook and it made me cringe for several reasons - “McCain- Palin 2008 .. because we can’t all rely on welfare..lol”
This election makes me want to throw up. I’m don’t even consider myself to...
“If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish...”

same as it ever was.
i just realized that the talking heads cover band that i’ve been looking forward to seeing for like a month played last night and i forgot about it. not happy.
the pressure's on.
So I was just noticing on my schedule that my first completed draft of my thesis lit review (chapter 1) is due on the 14th of November. I’m starting to panic. I’ve written a little over 10 pages. Which is good, I’m actually a week ahead of schedule, but still.
It’s hard to imagine that this time next year, this will all be over with and I will probably think, “It...
“You should never be around my dog Jack. He has gas that comes out of his butt...”

I can't wait for the election to be over.
I am so sick of politics. I’m sick of the petty insults, the stooping to dispicable levels to get votes and discourage them, and I’m sick of having such horrible choices for candidates.
Joe Biden is the only respectable one out of the bunch. This saddens me, because short of something happening to Obama (not wishing this, trust me) he’s not going to have much influence....

There is no good reason for me to be as tired and as burned out as I am right now. This semester has not even yet begun to be stressful, as I know it.
I hate my neighbors.
I simply cannot force myself to be nice to an apartment full of rednecks who literally sit on their porch all day and smoke, leer at me when I walk Kirby, and allow their damn dog to pee all over my door and doormat. I mean, I understand that sometimes dogs just pee, unannounced, but you can at least pull them away. Also, their dog has been barking for at least the past two hours straight. I am...
This is why there's a problem.
After watching the vice-presidential debate last night with 18 of my friends and aquaintances, I realized that the only thing most of them are taking away from it is how hilarious it was when Palin said that McCain “tapped” her (in reference to what her direction would be upon taking over the presidency).
Also, comments throughout the entire debate included:
-“Sarah Palin is...
Releases, disappointments.
September 30th was a day I looked forward to for a long time. Mostly, for the release of the new Ben Folds album, Way to Normal. Secondly, for the release of The Glass Passenger, the new Jack’s Mannequin album.
Now, to be fair, I mostly got what I expected from Jack’s Mannequin. It’s catchy, fast-paced (mostly), and full of bleeding-heart lyrics. No real huge musical value,...

This is really scary and weird.
Agreed. This is possibly the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen.
