One time a guy made me fucking BUY something when I was about ten seconds away from shitting my pants. I was THERE to also buy gas and some other stuff but he made me buy one thing first.
It’s supposed to represent the cup Jesus used during the Last Supper. It’s all here:
YEP! That was the first thing I thought of too.
The “OK” knocked me out. It has to be the the step child of “I said what I said” This child is COMPLETELY unbothered by his teacher. It’s fabulous. And I have been trying to find a way to articulate what my mood for 2018 is and this child found it for me.

This. Someone sent me the video today, and my first thought was that he was “bothsidesing” the whole issue. I loved the concept, and the filming and opening which pull you in was pretty brilliant. But the drawing of the moral equivalency is just too distracting to be ignored.
Confession - I have come to enjoy this as a pass time but like on real shit. (True Story)
Says the I’m sure 100% extrovert. This may work for you but some people just want to stand in silence.
The fucking article didn’t tell me anything I didn’t learn from American History X, and at least that movie was a lot more entertaining.
