What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[D.D.D.]

Frown: Damn but this Troy Davis thing is bothering the shit out of me.

Indeed. Part of the blurb here made me rather upset last night. I'm pretty good at reading if someone is good or a jerk and that is not the face of a killer IMHO.

Yeah that dudes whole case was just effed up since the arrest.

: You guys are making me sad that there are no Half Price Book stores in my state.

You don't have any sort of used book and media store in your area?

We have Hastings, but it's nowhere near as good. The used games are usually overpriced, and the farthest back they go is PS2. And no used PC games at all, although they used to carry them. They are best for buying used books, "nerd wear," and used DVDs. Since I refuse to buy used DVDs, they are kinda useless as far as I'm concerned.

Smile:

I read this quote from lThe Dalai Lama, which was his response when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:

“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Ticked:
He's right.

I'm wondering how the people that convicted this guy can still sleep at night...

And how is it that someone can wait for his death sentence for over 2 decades!?... If the sentence itself isn't injust already, then making someone wait for its excecution that long surely is...

We should all hang that text above our bed and read it everyday...

I sacrifice my health so I can really live.

Ticked: Mom and I caught the flu. Feeling like a zombie.

Smile: Despite my stomach destroying me (feels like an empty void), I'm at least able to eat decently, which is kind of rare when I'm super sick like this.

Really hope this subsides over the weekend, since I've all of a sudden had an onslaught of calls back on jobs and there's a really good chance I'll have some good news by next week. Had an interview that went really well this week and other options popping up. Funny how it all comes in at once, now I just gotta think about my options and hopefully go with what's best.

Smile: Watched the republican debates last night - some good, some bad. Man, Rick Perry and Mitt Romney need to just rent a room, fuck, and get it over with.

Rage: Oh and Rick Santorum is one of the biggest pricks in the world. Seriously. What a dipshit.

[Sideroller]

Smile: Made some new friends today!

Frown: I have paper due next week and our professor is insane. The prompt is like 5 pages long - and I need to read the Metamorphosis and write the whole thing before wednesday.

Welp, there goes the weekend.

[AznKhmerBoi]

smile : off this weekend
sad : tight budget for weekend

I'm sure you know about the 'new meaning' for Santorum from a few years ago. Well years later he's asked Google to censor references and Google has told him to DIAF. If you're a sensitive type and don't already know the 'new meaning' of Santorum or are eating, look it up later or never. But here's a CNN article about him whining. http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/21/tech/web/ ... &hpt=hp_c2

and a new video of Dan who coined the original insulting meaning threatening to make it worse. Also not dinnertime/kid appropriate, but funny.
