Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?

i love this song. It came up on my ipod during lunch today and I've had it on repeat since. Ps… Check out the fantastic West Side Story-ness of the clip.

Fat People Aren't Completely Screwed… Sorta

According to the NY Times, fat or overweight people have a lower death rate then average or underweight peoples.

awesome.

however, turns out that's cause overweight people are just more likely to get non-fatal diseases or whatever...

eh.

I <3 craigslist.

so over this past summer one of my good friends introduced me to the wonders of craigslist and oh how wondrous it can beeeee, lol.

soo after a couple of months of perusing the men in search of women pages (ps… there are a ton of really lonely guys in northern virginia.) i did respond to like two ads. cause like, this is how cool my life is, lol. nothing panned out.

but anyways, i actually decided to put in my own ad, why… je sais pas, haha. but its funny. i did get a bunch of responses, one was particularly nice. but among my faves…

someone who is looking for his princess…

"older man to serve as Your slave (and i do NOT mean sex slave)?"

that was alllll that the email said, hahaha.

awkward.

anyways, my ad was flaggggggedddd, wtf! lol.

ah well, it happens i suppose, lol.

ps… as always be safe and be smart. its craigslist people, not something i can put down as being safe or whatever.

oh and along with that, guyy whoo i replied to actually replied to mine too, but that was just cause we had similar music tastes. for the record, i have decided not to respond to him, lol.

"If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin's rain storms
turnin' every good thing into rust."

"Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
And I am young and I am strong
But I feel old and tired
overfired."

"Oh the glory that the lord has made
and the complications you could do without
when i kissed you on the mouth"

"I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms."

"It seems like every story told about us isn't meant to be
You fly on wings of gold all the way back home to me"

"Give my gun away when it's loaded.
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?"

Butte Pirates

this is a real name of a sports team, at least cracked.com says so.

cracked.com posts a pretty comprehensive list of the world's most ridiculous sports team names.

as a umd student, i am proud to be a terrapin, or a terp as we are sometimes known as.

spret if you go to a football game and watch them carry our proud name on the flags… backwards.

oh, but the moral of all that is our mascot is a turtle. an obscure one at that, and we didn't make the list. oh well.
