I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Miley Cyrus is just plain gross. This has nothing to do with sexual freedom or expression. This, along with everything else she's done for the last year, is just an embellished version of 'Look at me, I'm a boundary pusher, ya'll.' Yeah, really original. People like…

I have mixed feelings about this. First, I'm from NH, and am embarrassed to have Bode Miller representing my state, especially after the Olympics where he did horribly due to partying too much. This whole baby-mama drama fuels that fire. I have a friend who knows him and idolizes the shit out of him, which annoys…
I have been very fortunate to have only lost "expected" family members such as grandparents and great-aunts and uncles, etc. But for those of my friends who have not been so lucky, I always just say to them "We don't have to talk about (insert deceased family member's name), and I'm not going to bring it up after…
Actually just read an interesting article comparing and contrasting physiological versus psychological addiction. Maybe you'll find it likewise: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/all-about…
Likewise, just posted something very similar. Anyone can be addicted to anything if the primary goal of using that thing is to evade sitting with and dealing with uncomfortable emotions, and is to detach from it. That's why so many people who give up addictions to one thing just find something else to transfer the…
This is just my two cents, but I think that the real problem at the core root of any 'addiction' is using whatever it is as a means of escaping reality to not have to deal with uncomfortable feelings. Obviously, we know that alcohol and drugs can do that for people- but I think on an individual level, it could…
Bourgeoisie mofo is my new favorite compliment
He sat next to me at an AA meeting and told me he needed a ride home as a way to snag my digits (months later I learned this was untrue).
I don't really know where the disconncet is, because we seem to be on the same page but coming at it from different angles (any grammatical/spelling errors in this I apologize for, I am wicked sick and my head feels like it's going to split open). I agree with you that Bieber is a spoiled rotten dickwad, and I wish…
I loved this, but at least 2 of those dogs were not having a good time, and that made me sad that I still liked it anyways. To even out my karma, I will not dress my dog in a sweater. This week. Ok, today.
YES! My whole family watches food network, and we spent weeks calling each other and just reading aloud from this review, and collapsing into giggling puddles of Donkey Sauce. More like AWESOME SAUCE!
Definition of crisis: a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger.
Good point!
I don't get bipolar from him. I get more just a substance abuse issue, being entitled, and having no adult figures in his life who really have any power to give him a smack down. It def looks like he's going through a crisis, but it appears to me to be more situational than a biochemistry issue, imo.
Or, I don't see color when I look at people. I even have black friends. AND for the record every white person: 1) Having a black friend doesn't excuse your racism and 2) Someone whom knows your name and you know theirs, and is civil to you in public does not mean they're you're friend. They're just familiar with…
Interesting thought- Going along with that, I'm wondering if kids at all confuse or are conflating tall with thin/long and short with round/stocky. I used to teach piano lessons, and young kids would often confuse terms such as fast/loud and slow/quiet. Or when my sister was younger, she would name the color of…
I don't know what your intentions are (and I assume, or at least hope, that your intentions were better than your delivery), but this comes off sounding a lot like a misguided audition to get a column to be the Ann Landers of death. People know how to grieve, they don't need your help. If that's how you wish to…
