He didn't take my quitting well. He made a lot of false promises and "grass may not be greener" type remarks. Then he wanted me to guilt me. He asked what caused me to look elsewhere and I was honest

The cutest thing happened today. I was at Bartells buying some cards and stuff. While I was waiting to pay there was a kid ahead of me trying to buy a vitamin water and some ear buds. He looked about

I want to share some good news with my fellow preverts and at the same time thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers and encouragement over the years. It's been a year since my last chemo and

 i just hope that whomever the cadets were that wrote the racist messages are ashamed of themselves..

and if they aren't they should do as he asked and "GET OUT".

i mean, aren't you supposed to trust implicitly that your fellow airmen (when they are in the air force) have your back?

and i don't mean by sticking a knife in it.

THEM!

I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!

I hate all THOSE PEOPLE that you hate ... and THEM some!

THEM need to be shaved dry with a dull razor, a carbolic soap Silkwood scrub and made to scour endless curry pots in an Indian restaurant!

THOSE PEOPLE! <hisses> I HATE THEM!!!!

I never heard of We Rate Dogs until today's budget meeting.

Though I'm not clear on the criteria for rating the dogs featured, it appears to be on a plateau based entirely on the cuteness of the submitted photos. The witty meme-speak used in each tweet is made up of cutesy suffixes and onomatopoeias in Doggo lingo. Being owned by a cat (I love dogs) it took time for me to sort it out -- I'm fluent in LOLCats/I Can Has Cheezburger? Interwebs slang and memes.

In late '77, my eldest brother and some friends went to see The Ramones blitzkrieg the Roxy. The opening act was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Ears ringing, he waited for Tower Records to open and bought their first album. He and I wore it out. And we bought another one.

You may not immediately hear the connection between Petty and punk, but listen to the first gritty track on their 1976’s Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It’s called “Rockin’ Around (With You),” and Petty shouting lines like: “You got me babe / I got you / and I can’t stop thinkin’ about / how I dig rockin’ around with you.” Tom's crunchy rhythm line is chased by Benmont Tench's chiming keyboards and Mike Campbell's bright lead guitar, driven by Ron Blair's throbbing bass over Stan Lynch's pounding drums -- It's all garage-wide raucous teenage howl.; basically a Ramones song with a better arrangement and recording engineer.

Today is my birthday--let us not talk numbers, please.

I got some nifty Spode Blue Italian mugs--I'm a china person, and the weather's good, and I always enjoy visiting with all of you. So I'll send you some of the good wishes I received.

Happy Birthday!  What a great gift.  Somebody who loves you has good taste.

Have a wonderful day!

I always did too. I was into punk in the late seventies ( I still have my Ramones Rocket to Russia tour t shirt) we used to say Tom Petty was the man who saved the world from disco. I saw him at the Gorge in George a few years back. There was this guy sitting near us who was all "fuckin' Petty this and fuckin' Petty that." To me he'll always be Fuckin' Petty.

Happiest birthday wishes to you, pearlite.  I got myself a gift for your birthday.  I just bought a yellow MINI Cooper 6-speed supercharge.  I am, however, holding on to my sturdy Volvo grandma car. 

Cool! I want one of those little green Fiats.

Fuckin' Petty is right!

His recordings are great, but live was astonishing experience. Smirking, yelping, growling, stalking the crowd ... the band caught you up and poured over you, as the man gave it all on the stage. 

Love this ...

i've been watching cnn coverage of the massacre in las vegas..

i have to tell you, i have gone thru a lot of tissues.

Sad to say, but I'm just numb to it at this point.  It's no longer shocking to me.  There was another shooting that same day in Lawrence, Kansas, but it got no attention because "only" three people were killed and two were injured.  There are more shootings here than there are days in the year.  It's time to label the NRA a terrorist organization.

Yeah, I too have outrage fatigue. If 20 dead toddlers in Connecticut didn't change anything, then nothing is going to. Get small indeed.
