This last one I actually did see at Powells Book Store in Portland, they also had a unicorn one. What is that one on the far right, a kuala?

Rise up

I was told today by an old friend that instead of beating the system, I should join with it and work it and taylor myself to survive within it.

and I said "like hell, man."

I just think there are moments that call for us to key the guys car instead of filing for sex harassment.


The 2nd Amendment in the Constitution is our promise to beat the system if needed. We have the right to bare arms so that if it ever came down to it, we could overthrow the government. Seriously.

So, rise up.

"Are you blackmailing me?"

I only see movies on rare occasions anymore. They are usually ones that I already know the background to (such as book to screens) or ones I've waited forever to come out (pirates of the caribbean).
Mostly because I just pyrit the rest.
But about once a year, around the 3rd week of September, I just choose one and go.

So I'm choosing "Burn After Reading". I'm thinking it'll be ResivourDog-esc, without the Tarantino factor, if you know what I mean.

Seriously, there are a LOT of people that watch Resivour Dogs and just don't like it. Or get it. But if you knew the director's style, you'd LOVE the movie, because it's so him.

See, I think it's the same with ART. We don't like it because we don't get it, because we don't understand the artist.
Take fucking Mark Rothko, am I right?

4 times

Today I bought AAA rechargeable batteries.
They cost me 4 times the amount as one time use AAA batteries.
This means I have to use them all more than 4 times for them to be worth it. AND not lose them. I'm still deciding if it was worth it.
