Teenage Girl Spews Horrible Rant Against... →
STOP THE HATE. BUY MORE GIRLSCOUT COOKIES! If you want to order them from me, my boss’ daughter is selling them at my work. Holla at me and don’t support this bigoted bull-shit.
"Oh, Hi"
At first, I swore that if I ever saw him again, I’d pick up the biggest rock/piece of garbage/piece of feces I could find and chuck it at him. Then I’d say “Oh, Hi! What are you up to nowadays? Do you still cheat on your girlfriends, lie to your parents, and think you’re an 8 when you’re really a 3?”
But now, with time between us, I think I feel more sad for...
Girl Scout Cookies
My boss is selling Girl Scout Cookies for his daughter. I’ve already put myself down for 3 boxes of Samoas, 3 Boxes of Thin Mints, 3 Boxes of Savannah Smiles, and 2 boxes of Tagalongs.
Bye bye, Diet. It was nice knowing you.

Word. I have never understood those people who spend all their money on designer clothing and handbags. *shrug* To each his own, I guess.

2012 Resolutions: Live Harder, Laugh Louder
I always say life is too short to be unhappy, to be stuck in a dead end relationships, at dead end jobs, or surrounded by peopled who poison your life with shallowness and negativity. My 2011 was one of the most memorable years of my life, but if possible, I think 2012 will be even better! Some of my resolutions for this new year are extensions of last year’s. Stay on this track, but do it...

AN AMAZING DIGITAL IDEA...FOR TAMPONS?!
adteachings:
Recently, Johnson & Johnson Canada discontinued a poor-selling brand of tampons called O.B. Ultra. What J&J found out in a hurry was that the few customers they had were fiercely loyal. Thousands of complaints poured in, and the company very quickly brought back the product and apologized – with this video.
The video, created by Toronto agency Lowe Roche in association...

"Stay Young, Go Dancing"
Life is short. I remember just turning 17 and now I’ll be 24 in 2 weeks. As you get older, time will only go by faster. The worst feeling you can have is to look back on your formative years and realize that you’ve spent most of it crying in the bathroom, doing what you hate with people you hate; that time is running away from you and in the end you have nothing to show for it....

Oh yeah.
Every now and again, I forget I am going to Paris. Then I remember. Then I’m like “fuck yeah!”

Zooey and Ben Break Up →
So, I guess this kind of flew under the radar that Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard are getting a divorce. This makes me sad. I am not the biggest fan of Zooey, but I love Ben Gibbard. From their first meeting Ben recalled, “I was just awestruck that she was even talking to me.” This makes me sad all day. Why can’t people stay together anymore?

Snow This Saturday. Really?
So, it’s suppose to snow this Saturday. Climate change is palpable and I am really scared for our future. In the mere 6 years that I’ve lived here, I have witnessed the obvious change in New York City weather. Springs and Falls are getting shorter, Winter and Summers are more extreme, and natural disasters are way too prevalent. It’s really bumming me out, man.

In Honor of Halloween, My Favorite Simpsons...
Shopkeeper: [Homer has agreed to purchase a Krusty doll for Bart's birthday] Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!
Homer: Ooh, that's bad.
Shopkeeper: But it comes with a free frogurt!
Homer: That's good.
Shopkeeper: The frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: That's bad.
Shopkeeper: But you get your choice of toppings.
Homer: That's good!
Shopkeeper: The toppings contain potassium benzoate.
[Homer looks puzzled]
Shopkeeper: ...That's bad.
Homer: Can I go now?
