Today, I met a man who asked for help, standing outside the VA hospital. He approached me and asked if there was a [grocery store with a liquor store] nearby, because the hospital wouldn't admit him unless he was under the influence. His plan was to drink the night away, sleeping in a park, and hoping they would admit him tomorrow. He told me he...

@pointman11 Right? Hell, if I could afford it, I'd have put him up in a hotel and paid for a bus ticket. In the meantime, he's self-destructing just to get better. But you know, "we love our veterans."
pointman11:
I get that a lot. I work downtown Indianapolis and encounter many in that situation. It sucks that people want to get better, get clean, get help, but since they are not already intoxicated they get denied. It makes no sense to allow someone to harm themselves more before helping
Happy Australia Day!
I know Lorde has never really been afraid to put herself out there, but this video... I don't know what to say. I saw it for the first time a couple days ago. At first, I was uncomfortable. I felt like I should look away, like I was invading her privacy. There's something very personal and raw about the way she looks at the camera...

Art, it will mess up your head.
Last night, I had a very weird-but-sexy type dream about a co-worker. She's really flirtatious, pretty, etc, but she's also very young. I mean VERY young. Don't get me wrong, she's legal, but I'm still old enough to be her dad. I don't even know if she likes me or if she's just a flirt. Ugh. I hate dating at 40.

@tali79 Seriously, I'm 40. Thanks, though. The older I get, the more I appreciate that. You're right, even casual is good.
tali79:
I don't even worry about the number. 40 is nothing.
I'm at a point in my life where I feel like being severely injured by a mega-corporation and receiving an out-of-court settlement is the most reasonable course of action to get my life back in order.

@tali79 Fair enough. How are you doing? Find anything out from the police report?
tali79:
Apopka won' give me the police report unless I go down there. I have to head that way on Tuesday so I'll get it then. A lot of pain in my back and some in the arm that broke but the pills are helping with that
Also, I'll never be half as cool as these kids.
Right, so... I had to force myself not to watch all of Season 2 in a single night. By the time I finished it tonight - I'm not gonna lie - I was almost crying.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I mean ... preacher's daughter + church. That's it :D
So I did.
Tonight I had a photojournalism assignment at the state fair. It was pretty small, but I took as many pictures as I could. They all look pretty generic. I'm pretty sure everyone else on the assignment got the same pictures I did, but I haven't even looked at anything since I got home. The instructor made it a point that part of...
