look in the mirror and make that change...
SO, Lately I have been feeling a bit restless, and ready for some sort of change- drastic or otherwise. I feel like I just need a re-start.
I am not going to go all Britney and shave my head, but hair is always an easy place to start- and its much faster than getting a new job, or pet (I know, I know H). Below is the cut I want.
Apparently its a NRitch heavy day on internets lane today.

Your opinion, violent and loud as it is- really does not...

molly: so the obama kids can't watch jersey shore
mel: how else will they learn about how all Italian-Americans really are?
molly: is it weird that I'm starting to feel sorry for the jersey shore kids?
mel: um, yes?
molly: they're not really doing anything that all mid-20s people haven't done
mel: they're just doing it with more gel, body glitter and rhinestone tigers
molly: I mean, we've all done things we're not proud of
molly: we're just lucky that they weren't showed to millions of people
molly: I mean, if we really stood back with some perspective, I think we'd better understand The Situation.
mel: oh. I get it. All that just to make the reference to The Situation guy.
molly: patience is a virtue, yo.
mel: so you don't really feel sorry for them, do you?
molly: god no.
Prop 8 Defenders Claim to be Underdogs (fingers...
Andy Pugno, general counsel for Protectmarriage.com, the sponsor of Proposition 8—the state ballot proposition and constitutional amendement defining marriage as strictly between a man and a woman—says the defense is facing numerous handicaps, not just financial. “We are truly fending off a tsunami of lawyers” for the plaintiffs, he says. He charges that the state itself has turned its...

2009
So, its a new year, and while 2009 was hardly the best on record for me, I would like to recap:
took a trip to Texas- discovered how hilarious my aunt is, how awesome it is to be somewhere COMPLETELY unfamiliar and learned that southern hospitality and the (real) dollar store is not a myth (suck it $4 items in WA DOLLAR STORES)
Went to Portland and watched HUNDREDS of people accomplish their...
