Panic attack 22:04:58 I’m going by myself again. [I went to see them for the first time last September]. With extra tickets. Maybe I’ll give the ticket 2 [...]

$5000 a Bullet

January 13, 2011 this i believe

Many of us have seen Chris Rock’s standup routine on gun control, or as he called it “Bullet Control”, either on YouTube or in the movie Bowling for Columbine.

Money Money Money

January 9, 2011 Making sure you know I read the Economist so you know I'm not dumb, just obnoxious

This is what hope looks like

November 15, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

As a researcher, you hate it when you come across a piece of evidence that proves against the theory/conclusion you are hoping to make. How I wish I could sweep it under the rug. Pretend I’ve never seen it. Plead ignorance. I hate being able to see both sides: Why can’t I just believe in [...]

“Mary and Max”

November 13, 2010 random

Do you suffer anxiety attack when you attempt to write about something that is dear to your heart? An important childhood memory? An experience in a lifetime? Your favorite book? The most significant events that happened that may have shaped who you are? Maybe it’s just me. This is why so far I have not been [...]
