So, um, this is pretty random. I think it's fair to say that it's a headline you never really guessed you'd read in a real paper. lol

Soooooo good and sooooo sexy! P!NK you're my hero!

Must be a computer virus... Yeah I know, really lame joke; I'm sick. But seriously I hope it's not this you're getting. This thing is miserable and it clings like a muther... :/

Enough is enough...

Nurse...? Where's my nurse? I has a sick. She'll make it all better.

So...crappy week, leading into a yucky, bedridden, exhausted weekend. I have the flu, and my sweetheart has the flu, and I can barely get out of bed. So while I was up to pee I thought I'd see if my puter could cheer me up, and did a search for "cheerful songs". And was surprised to see one I hadn't heard in a long, long time. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ

Ugh, I still feel like warmed-over, reconstituted ass...

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG! I'm late.

I get foot fetishes...but c'mon...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mrx_xvJ5gM Well, I just like Tool. But this is waaaaay neat. This is actually the album Lateralus, reordered and timed correctly. It was kinda an Easter egg hidden in the album, hinted at by various lyrics in a couple songs. Eventually people worked it out, and listening to it in this order, it's actually called "The Holy Gift". And it's beautiful and meaningful. So enjoy! Oh and here's a link to an article explaining (in way too fine detail) exactly how the Easter egg was planted and deciphered...

I've read George Orwell's 1984 like ten times. It's creepiness and foreboding of a wired, surveilled future was more prophetic than a lot of people realize. Apple took a stand then against that sort of forced conformity and the idea of "Big Brother" watching over all of us. And they're one company that, even now when the technology truly exists for us to be monitored and recorded and watched over every single minute of our lives by corporations or governments or other nefarious entities, still values individual rights to privacy, perhaps more so than any other big company around today. "Finally, I want to be absolutely clear that we have never worked with any government agency from any country to create a backdoor in any of our products or services. We have also never allowed access to our servers. And we never will. Our commitment to protecting your privacy comes from a deep respect for our customers. We know that your trust doesn’t come easy. That’s why we have and always will work as hard as we can to earn and keep it." Link to full statement I never got to see that ad til about 10 years ago or so (I was in diapers when it aired), but this next one I saw when I was a teenager, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that it moved something in me, made me believe, if even for a second, that it was okay to be different, unique, abnormal. And that not only was it something I shouldn't be ashamed of, but rather it was something I should be proud of. I won't say that it changed my life necessarily, but it stuck with me and to this day makes me feel a bit better about myself, helps me accept who I am with a greater sense of pride and far less shame and derision than I'm sure I'd otherwise have. So here's to the crazy ones...
