Darker Me

Yes, they are open during labor day weekend.
No, I don’t mind.
Yes, I think less people will show up.
Yes, I think I will go see Halloween after class.

In Theaters October 26! It’s a Trap!

Teaser Trailer Here.

I’m still thinking if I’ll go, depends on my schedule.

The First Commandment - Don’t see him or talk to him for sixty days

This is the most important thing you can do for yourself. This means NO CONTACT. Not only can you not reach out, you can accept no calls or visits. This is a self imposed “he-tox”.

Some suggestions to keep you on track:

• Reorganize a closet
• Learn to knit and start a knitting group
• Become a Big Sister and work with underprivileged children

The Second Commandment - Get yourself a breakup buddy

Your breakup buddy will be the person you turn to when you are having a moment of weakness, feeling lonely or about to eat two buckets of fried chicken. Here are a few requirements for choosing the right Breakup Buddy:

• Has at least a mild knowledge of your relationship.
• Has a cell phone, pager, or other reliable way of being contacted.
• Lives in close enough proximity to be accessible during emergency breakup meltdowns.

Note to the Breakup Buddy:

• It is NOT your job to fix this person.
• It’s ok to set limits.
• Make it fun.

The Third Commandment - Get rid of his stuff and the things that remind you of him

Greg suggests you have a Boxing Day. It is up to you what goes and what stays. Three boxes are needed for a Boxing Day:

• Return to Sender (His Box) - His Cds, his ipod, camera, his clothing, the baby photo his mom gave you of him.
• Keepsakes for Pete’s Sake (Your Box) - Photos, love letters, and birthday cards.
• Straight-Up Trash (Sayonora!) - His toothbrush, razor, retainer and Rogaine.

The Fourth Commandment - Get your ass in motion everyday

This could be as simple as just leaving the house everyday. Remember the Sun? Take yourself on a walk, take your broken heart to the movies or simply get in the car and drive. Just get moving.

The Fifth Commandment - Don’t wear your breakup out in the world

No more public breakdowns or tantrums. No more crying at your desk, shouting into your cell phone, or fighting with your ex at restaurants. How you present yourself is a projection of what your life looks like. Take off your victim pants and show the world the most rocking version of you that anyone (including you) has ever seen.

The Sixth Commandment - No backsliding!

Starting over is hard. Starting over again is even harder. Backsliding includes everything from the little “catch up” call to the big Kahuna of backsliding- break up sex- and everything in between.

The Seventh Commandment - It won’t work unless you are number one

You are the prize, the sun, the moon, and the stars. You have to learn to love yourself, like yourself, and put yourself first before you will ever find the healthy, loving, and lasting relationship you’re looking for.

The Seven Commandments are taken from:
It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken: The Smart Girl’s Break-Up Buddy by Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt

Twelve years is a long-ass time. Hell, even two years is a long-ass time when you’re dealing with the same set of genitals (and that pesky person attached to them) day in, day out. - Miss Information

Looks like some folks over at Showtime accomplished the trick last year, which is why you keep hearing questions like “Have you seen Dexter yet?” from various friends and co-workers.

I like her more now!

“I would like to dedicate this award to a young man who has been on my mind for the last 19 years: Ross. Ross didn’t love me. I was pigeon-toed, I had a sway back, I was slightly cross-eyed, buck-toothed, I sucked my thumb. Look at me now, Ross! Look at me now! [Ross] promised that if I kissed him he would choose me for baseball … I was still chosen last. I never trusted men again.”

Keep falling for Queens girls? Like BECCA ELENA BATTINO. Yes, I’m aware she is underage.

I took a survey of the leading causes that make grown men cry, and Jessica Alba’s ass came in at number one, right above a lemon being squeezed into your eye. I don’t even know why anymore. I mean she’s hot, but she’s not that hot. For some reason the idea of Jessica Alba has become infinitely hotter than Jessica Alba herself. She’s like a legend now, and tales of her hotness have surpassed her actual hotness. When they talk about her in the future it won’t even be her anymore. It’ll be tales of a creature so beautiful you have to whisper her name, and every time somebody says it the entire room will go “Oooh” and “Ahhh.” - The Superficial

That’s funny. I don’t know a John Smith. And he looks old enough to be my dad. I click his profile, confused, and take a closer look. Gray hair. Excuse me? Favorite books: The World Is Flat and Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Um…OK. Status: married. What?

You may be feeling a bit confused today, dear Aries, and it may seem as if the wind has suddenly been taken out of your sails. Don’t get discouraged by the slow, weightiness of the day. Take this opportunity to relax and recharge your batteries. Take some time for quiet introspection instead of constantly being on the run. The most valuable lesson you need to learn today is patience. Get started on this lesson early, and remind yourself of it throughout the day.

I agree, I am constantly on the run, extremely hard for me to stand still, even for a little while. When I do get that little chance once in awhile, I’ll be waiting for disasters to happen, thus being unable to enjoy the moment or use it properly.

I got a ticket to to nowhere
I got no respect for the law
I got no use ’cause it’s all abuse
It’s the cutting edge of the saw

Ain’t got no time for the future
Ain’t got no time for the past
I’m running up a down escalator
I’m going nowhere fast

I’m hanging on like a spider
Blowing in the wind
This storm’s gonna tear a hole
Right thru this web I’m in

The actress, 25, signed a contract that explicitly details the bare minimum fans will see – including shots of her breasts (nipples from the front and side) and her butt (side view only) – in the Crash-like ensemble drama Powder Blue.

She plays a stripper trying to earn money to raise her terminally ill son in the currently-shooting movie, which costars Oscar winner Forest Whitaker.

A source tells Us the director will film scenes that are even MORE revealing, adding, “Jessica will decide if she wants to show anything additional.”

Somebody saw you at the station
You had your suitcase in your hand
You didn’t give no information
You walked off with another man
I’m alwaays standing in the shadows, baby
I watched you give yourself away
You take them home into your bedroom
ohh, You had another busy day

- Alice Cooper

No more grainy set photos taken from 30 feet away, because we’ve got 15 new production stills from The Dark Knight. Besides showing off Batman’s new suit, these pictures give us a good look at Heath Ledger as the Joker in action.

You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sadness
As you surrender to your fears

So what’s a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you

Don’t turn away, before the night is over
Don’t turn away, before the night is gone
Don’t turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don’t turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone

You say your heart is lost forever
And you’re always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again

You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can’t forget all your foolish pride

Don’t turn away, before the night is over
Don’t turn away, before the night is gone
Don’t turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don’t turn away, before the night is gone

So now I’m asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again

Don’t turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride

Don’t turn away, before the night is over
Don’t turn away, before the night is gone
Don’t turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don’t turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone

Don’t turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don’t put me away,
Don’t walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An’ I’m coming for you, baby…

- Whitesnake

Atheism everywhere (except U.S.) « The Atheocracy

The Lord works in mysterious ways, it seems. The smartest, happiest societies on Earth are also the least religious. Shouldn’t God smite these people? Is he being nice, helping these people live it up while on Earth because they’re gonna burn once they die in a messy accident involving Hooters girls and massive vats of beer?  Is God letting them get all fat and beer-filled so he can eventually feed them to starving children somewhere?

Mysterious ways, indeed.

Miss Information’s Existential Crisis Cake (serves 1)

TAKE one person in their late twenties, a gawky time if there ever was one.
ADD one relationship at a “Do we or don’t we?” commitment-type crossroads
STIR IN one big fat symbol of what’s missing from your current relationship (in this case, full-on passionate 100% balls to the wall love)
TOP WITH one overt physical manifestation of inner turmoil (this recipe calls for puking but panic attacks and relentless insomnia are also good substitutes)
STEW FOR As long as it takes to get a handle on your feelings. Do not add superflous ingredients, such as a baby, mortgage, or marriage proposal. You’re liable to burn the whole kitchen down.

and men reason to be careful.

Q. I’m a 24-year-old female, and I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost five years. We’re transitioning to a long-distance relationship in January when he moves a hojillion miles away to go to law school. He’s 28, an angel, and I want to have a baby. He doesn’t want to have a baby, at least not in the foreseeable future, and he’s made it clear that if I give him an ultimatum, he’ll dump my ass. I’m longing to spawn, so I’ve decided to get pregnant by him and not tell him. He has nothing to do with birth control, never has, so my plan will succeed. I’m going to do this: That’s not in question.

The question is, do I tell him? I’m not going to dun him for child support or anything, but I’d let him be as involved as he wants to be—pictures, visits, moving in together to raise the kid. I’m never going to tell him that I got knocked up on purpose. I could also theoretically pretend that the brat is someone else’s, but that would require some fudging of dates. So what, if anything, do I tell him, and when? Thanks, love your brain. —E.

I don’t know what she is saying but I like what I see.

“The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I’ve been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.” - Gordon Gekko

Goodbye sounded like people die.

You are able to express yourself in profoundly deep ways today. It’s not that you’re normally shallow; it’s just that your feelings are even more intense today than usual. Fortunately, you can be very serious one moment and more lighthearted the next, enabling others to enjoy your company.

Me: U R sooo burned like fried chicken! Delicious! You make me want to be a cannibal!
She: not burned, tan. way hotter.
Me: OK.

To work after 1 week Time Off. It wasn’t a vacation. I don’t take vacations. 1-2 week is not enuff. I didn’t get out of my apt. for 8 days straight. Ordered in, shaved 2 times, almost got out once but backed out, didn’t get haircut. All I did was unpack from recent move, update new address with important people, watch TV, download porn.

Red meat sent a message that she was “unpretentious and down to earth and unneurotic,” she said, “that I’m not obsessed with my weight even though I’m thin, and I don’t have any food issues.” She added, “In terms of the burgers, it said I’m a cheap date, low maintenance.”
