Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger
January 28, 2010 CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. “He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers,” said hot-shot...
Howard Zinn and J.D. Salinger are dead, meanwhile Stephenie Meyer still lives. I don’t want to live in this world anymore.

i watched the imaginarium of doctor parnassus, the men who stare at goats, los abrazos rotos, and sherlock holmes between friday night and sunday evening. this type of thing is one reason why it’s difficult for me to tell whether life is more meaningless in the office on weekdays or in the apartment on weekends.
5 years of alcoholism, denial and prescription drug abuse have all but...

Wise men have sworn that if you listen carefully, you can hear messages relayed from those who have ceased to live to those who have not yet traversed the river Styx. When I am fatigued enough, I place this notion to the test. Tonight I turned off the television and put away my vinyls to listen intently.
I shut my eyes and cleared my mind but the rain, the rain, the rain.
Pit, pat, tip, tap,...
Why did the boy fall off his bike? Burdened by familial pressures, teenage anxiety and gifted with social awkwardness, a small penis, his stolen iPod was the latest straw in a 14 year old life that had dealt with so much; the boy shot himself.

If you are a woman living in NYC you will be raped. Most likely by your father.
Strange smells coming from abandoned cars often points to a mutilated body or abandoned baby.
Do not send naked pictures of yourself to your boyfriend. Sexting is not only embarrassing (as said boyfriend will forward the pictures to everyone in school), but can be charged as distributing [kiddie] porn.

As a potential triple major in Genetics, Genomics & Development, Evolution and Bioengineering at UC Berkeley, I fail to understand how atheists can be so resolute in their faith that a deity fails to exist. The current scientific evidence fails to prove otherwise and only a fool views The Bible as a historical document. I see how you can make the case against a deity but so few fail to make...

‘Strange spars of knowledge and dimmed wares of price. Great minds have sought you—lacking someone else. You have been second always. Tragical? No. You preferred it to the usual thing: One dull man, dulling and uxorious, One average mind—with one thought less, each...
and yet For all this sea-hoard of deciduous things, Strange woods half sodden, and new brighter stuff: In the slow float of differing light and deep, No! there is nothing! In the whole and all, Nothing that’s quite your own. Yet this is you.

What can you tell me about the Sparks story?
I am confused by the request. Are you inquiring about the research I completed with 3 Nobel Prize winners for a project bearing a similar name, S.P.A.R.K.S., or are you bringing up the night where you owe me one keg, plus interest?

(RAH)² (AH)³ + [ROMA (1+MA)] + (GA)² + (OOH)(LA)²
(via dustydgaf)
When I first saw this equation on Reddit I couldn’t help but ask, where is the peer-reviewed published paper that accompanies such a formula?! Where is the proof? When I couldn’t find it I decided to take the matter into my own hands.
Remember that (xy)² = (x²y²) Ergo, (GA)² is actually G²A² which differentiates from GAGA. In fact the only portion of this equation...
