Are you blind, BIg Boss Pig?

My buddy Saagar snapped this great photo of Pigs ready to break some Pachouli confidence... probably not going to work.

I got arrested once, matching the description of a black male on a silver bicycle... as a white male on a black bicycle!!!



Also, Obama is a reneging liar & should reconsider his policy

Yep, this one...


Just be sure to have a great time while you're there... maybe grab yourself an engineering degree (the new uppermiddle class)


Something like that, just change that avoidance to med school and still keep half the debt. Things are looking good for the upper crust lawyers, particularly when you've heard a Harvard Law Review grad mutter to his younger brother "don't even bother going to that school -- it's not top tier." What do we do with all these brains? Rather fond of this idea:

Steve Jobs was kind of an asshole... anatomically:

Hear me out... I was waiting to start the slow clap, but somebody beat me to it... so I'll just be a director, an direct you there.

But I do remember this, some college years ago, somewhere destroying my liver in Tennessee

You were complaining about supposed anxiety? It's so easy, even closed-captioning can do it!

"Shameless" by Dan Rylander-Jones (d. 2011):
Elders are shocked.
Preachers fall out of their pulpits.
Mother's stop their children's ears.
But it's true and I'll say it:

I am head-over-heels in love with myself,
starry-eyed crazy about Me, my own Self.
Pouring rapturous praises over myself,
I crown myself with laurels,
pin on rows of medals,
grin and strut and crow
until Shame itself is scandalized.

Vanity and conceit have nothing to do with this,
and not arrogance or righteousness.
those are the masks of Shame,
the 'proud' man, the 'vain' woman,
the smug, the selfish, the egotistical and the stuck-up,
all the 'better-than',
the know-it-alls and judges and busybodies,
inside they squirm with unworthiness worms
and have no love for themselves.

Self-love is good-humored and easygoing.
A self-loved body tingles with pleasure
like a sun-warmed beach
when waves of love wash over.
A self-loved mind is at peace,
does not turn against itself in criticism,
does not strive to make up for itself with a good show,
is content with itself, and therefore
has no dear, no anger, no greed,
no hurry, no worry,
just glides along like a white cloud
doing one thing at a time
as though it were serious.

Self-love is the spring, the source
of all the rivers of love that flow.
It is the hive for all the honey,
the store for all the presents.
It is a home of God.

It is not 'attention-getting'
It is not at anyone's expense.
It is free for all.
it is everyone's birthright.

Unconditional,
It cannot be earned or achieved.
It is not because of anything,
it's just there, like space,
and it moves through the body
like a river of light.

Self-love is not different from humility.
Humility means going easy on myself
about achievements and image,
the puffed-up masks and costumes,
the dramas to stage myself
and be seen as the star of the show.
Humility means giving myself a rest from the rush against time,
the endless, busy river
of explanations and justifications
and compensations and rationalizations
and stupefying lists of projects
for self-improvement and doing good,
none of them ever enough,
never enough, never enough,
hurry along, there's more to do,
more to do, more to do.
Self-love has enough already,
delights to give itself away
like an ice cream machine overflowing.

Self-love "versus" love-of-others
is a treachery to the heart.
Love radiates.
Without self-love,
what is there to radiate?

How many grim relationship we endure,
to try to get the love we fail to give ourselves,
sucking at a dry breast
when the milk is flowing in our own hearts.
Why should we have to wait for a lover to fall in love?

So here it is! your full pardon
from the Governor. It reads:
"my life might need some work,
but I myself, the worker on my life,
am forever immaculately perfect."

Frame it. Hang it in your mind.
Never surrender your Freedom
from the dismal prison of Shame.

The most basic of human rituals -- the conversation with strangers -- turns out to be a minefield -- Malcolm Gladwell "The New-boy Network" §3

"One of the most important things is that you have to come across as being confident in what you are doing and in who you are. How do you do that? Speak clearly and smile." As he said that, Nolan Myers smiled. §5

Listening in the weeds, you can really learn a thing (or two)

I've been redditting since 2006... oh, the unlistable novelties. So when I stumble upon a new subreddit that has a rather large following, I'm always baffled at its former anonymity.
