Walked in to buy one book and came out with three (and $50 lighter).
Hair Loss at 22
postcardsfromyomomma: It said on Yahoo that hair loss can be caused by iron deficiency among other things that probably would not apply to you. This can be managed usually by eating foods high in folic acid and taking a multi vitamin every day. Love, Mom xoxoxoxoxoxo
nytimes article = students of virginity →
roseann: In a follow-up study to a 1995 national survey of close to 12,000 students in grades 7 through 12, two sociologists, Peter Bearman at Columbia University and Hannah Brückner at Yale, found that while those who took virginity pledges preserved their technical virginity about 18 months longer than teenagers who didn’t pledge, they were six times more likely to engage in oral sex than...

Watchvincentpeone: Robert De Niro Back in Time 2: Hide and Seek. I think the action-packed second installment has some of the most fun moments in the series. The monologue still kills me every time. Enjoy and rate it if you’d like!!! Josh is such a good DeNiro. And I really enjoyed the characters played by Hatstamp and Vincent. Good work guys, it made me laugh.
Sweet! I have an excuse for 16 more months.
katiebakes: Recent studies have shown that heavy drinking does more damage to the teenage brain than previously suspected, while the part of the brain responsible for judgment is not even fully formed until the age of 25. (link)
Unhappy men are all alike
mills:errorgorilla: There is no mystery to happiness. Unhappy men are all alike. Some wound they suffered long ago, some wish denied, some blow to pride, some kindling spark of love put out by scorn - or worse, indifference - cleaves to them, or they to it, and so they live every day within a shroud of yesterdays. The happy man does not look back. He doesn’t look ahead. He lives in the...
Afternoon IM
Me: so Obama bowled a 37
Me: I thought that was impossible
Greg: I saw that
Greg: thats really bad
Greg: was it a full game?
Me: looks like it
Greg: it couldn't have been
Greg: I mean I've been really bad
Greg: and I've never bowled less than 70
Me: I've never seen anyone bowl like that
Me: kate moss with a needle out her arm could have done better
Greg: hahaha
Me: but to be fair, I'm sure he's got a lot on his mind
Me: and he's a baller, not a bowler
Me: I'd beat him at the ten pins
Me: and he'd mop the court with me
Greg: yeah and george bush can throw a pretty mean pitch
Me: but it was no nixon
Greg: but he's the worst president ever
Me: good point
Greg: apparently athletic prowess is in direct contrast to presidential ability
Me: and likewise with nixon and bowling
Me: and he'll get better
Me: doesn't 1600 have an alley?
Me: I'll talk about it with him at dinner
Greg: so by my deductive prowess Obama = greatest president ever
Greg: hahaha
Me: any concern over it however has been levied by the great number of media hits given to "Obama to win, Hillary to quit" over the weekend

Watchpeterknoxtv: Self Portrait of a Life (short cut) on Vimeo (via Vimeo) You have to see my new cut of my video “Self Portrait of a Life” which was originally 13 minutes long and is now down to only 5, with music. I think it’s now totally watchable and excellent. I hope you enjoy it. Really like how this turned out. The music is BREATHE IN by Imogene Heap of Frou Frou from the Album DETAILS.

President Bush just threw the first pitch out and it was pretty good. He’s already a better pitcher than he is President. But I take solace in that he had to do it in front of so many people booing. That kind of fortitude is just what the Tampa Bay Rays are looking for in a pitcher.
How to Disagree →
sarahcroberts: marco: By Paul Graham. “Many who respond to something disagree with it. That’s to be expected. Agreeing tends to motivate people less than disagreeing. And when you agree there’s less to say. You could expand on something the author said, but he has probably already explored the most interesting implications. When you disagree you’re entering territory he may not have...
