It’s cheap but mildly inappropriate entertainment to think “whore moans” every time my Anatomy and Physiology professor says “hormones.”

Five Things Rick Santorum Could have Learned in... →
Santorum has given ample evidence that despite all the taxpayer dollars wasted on his education, he failed to learn anything about how to think independently, which is what education should have taught him.

“I don’t believe in an America where there’s a separation of church and state.”
– Rick Santorum.
If he’s saying this for “Christian” reasons, he should probably read John 18:36 and Matthew 22:21.

blastnegativity.tumblr.com - Funny, in a culture-mocking sort of way.
tumblr.tastefullyoffensive.com -More funny stuff.
npr.tumblr.com - Pretty self-explanatory. NPR will provide you with great conversation topics, among other things. Like the radio stations, it might make you feel older than you are - which is probably a good thing.

"The Genius of the Crowd" - Charles Bukowski
there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day and the best at murder are those who preach against it and the best at hate are those who preach love and the best at war finally are those who preach peace those who preach god, need god those who preach peace do not have peace those who preach peace do not have love beware...

“Your own reality—for yourself, not for others.” Thinking for yourself means finding yourself, finding your own reality. Here’s the other problem with Facebook and Twitter and even The New York Times. When you expose yourself to those things, especially in the constant way that people do now—older people as well as younger people—you are continuously bombarding yourself with a stream of other...

“We just had a near-life experience, fellas.”
– Fight Club It’s on AMC right now. No better movie for an insomniac to be watching at 3:15 in the morning. And the tv people have somehow managed the impossible: they’ve softened it down to a TV-14 rating.

You thought the happiness would appear simply, without effort or any kind of work, like a bird call or a pathside flower or a school of silvery fish but now they’ve cut themselves on love, and cry in...
