If you can outplay the players,
and dumb down to the dummies,
you can own the table.




Don't let 'em take who you are, boy
don't try to be who you ain't.
Don't let me catch you in Kendale,
with a bucket of a wealthy man's paint

Here is the news article about my grandfather's death.


This is the first time I've looked at a picture of him since he died.

He was truly an amazing person, fighting racism, helping families, treating the poor. And he did it all while fighting chronic severe depression. He tried to kill himself more than once. In the 50's, he voluntarily underwent heavy ECT, trying simply...

That is so damn sweet, and yes, just from what I read, he is a man to be admired! You're lucky to have had someone like him in your life. It seems like you appreciate it for all that it was worth and then some, so that's what matters.

i wish i could have appreciated my grandparents more when they were around.

My grandfather died this morning. Apparently he got up in the middle of the night and fell, breaking his neck.

My mom called with the awful news as I was walking into my Behavioral Pharmacology exam, so I didn't really have a lot of time to get all the details, or even to work out when I need to fly down for the funeral.

This...

I'm not yet hungry enough to motivate my ridiculously hung over ass off the green velvet couch and remain vertical long enough to make something hot and worthwhile.


So...


Come over and cook me some jambalaya.

Hi!! ^^ To answer your question:
"How do you manage to snap off perfect photos at the drop of a hat?"

I do a lot of photography work for deviantArt to build up my art portfolio. I actually took about 30-40 photos to get that one :3

It's funny that I post something criticizing the public flaunting of people's sex lives on here, and I get the same amount of comments in 3 hours as I do in 3 days after posting something actually insightful into my own life and heart.


Screw you people.


Anyway, I aced (or so I think) my first exam of the semester just an hour or so...

I'm sorry, one more, this one's really a nice piece of scholarship, easy read, cross-disciplinary, and available through J-STOR.

I'm sorry, you really do a lot of projecting for a psych student, and the way you handle conflict has a lot to do with angry and accusatory language. I'm not the only one on the board who has noticed it. I'm sure you know by now that disputes are rarely (ever?) about the content, and more about the individual needs and wants of the speaker. (I'm not being heard, I'm being misunderstood, you are wrong and that threatens my viewpoint, etc.) Please consider this constructive criticism. I have taken many of the criticism against myself as coming off as self-righteous into consideration and I will work on it.

Maybe when you're older, you'll begin to practice a less defensive argumentation style that doesn't depend so much on berating the other person. From an outsider's perspective, it makes the person who uses the technique look worse than the person they use it on.

I did not mean those reccomendations condescendingly. If you were really an anti-racist activist, you would know that the battle and the education about these things never ends. Platitude of the day: You can study something to no end, but unless you live it, the knowledge is useless. There is no happy ending or feeling good about or settled on racism. If you think you're done, you haven't even begun. But like I said, that's the privilege of most white people.

I'm honestly a bit put off by everyone's public flaunting of their sex lives.



Discretion is sexy, people.

Valentine's greeted with somber dreams of loves lost and longed-for.






Dreams are given to you
when you're young enough to dream them
before they do you any harm.

They only start to hurt
when you try to hold on to them after
seeing what they really are.








p.s. If you think it's unpleasant being around me, try being me.

All I have to eat is buttered toast or dry Cinnamon Life cereal.

Cinnamon life cereal isn't bad. It's no cinnamon toast crunch, but it's close.

I've been doing the fresh direct thing for the past month or so and loving it. Much, much cheaper than eating out, and better too.
susannahjoy:
once i had to survive two weeks on stale tortillas and hot sauce from taco bell. it was not good. hope you obtain the proper funding for real food soon! (i'm just assuming that that's why you dont have anything else?)
