Tom Waits Interview.

aar0n:
This is a great interview. Here are a few of my favourite bits :
Q: What’s heaven for you?
A: Me and my wife on Rte. 66 with a pot of coffee, a cheap guitar, pawnshop tape recorder in a Motel 6, and a car that runs good parked right by the door.
Q: What’s wrong with the world?
A: We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge;...

I went out to Webster University today to drop off some paperwork. It’d be pretty rad to finish up my degree there. I like that it’s a smaller student body. I don’t like how long of a drive it’d be to make it there every day, and I hear that parking is horrendous.
I’m totally digging the mixtape Wave that JD and I have going. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the Yeah...

I'm just going to come out and say it.
The “Avatar” movie looks really stupid. And it cost a reported $500 million to make.
Ridiculous.

Trent broke his elbow at work tonight.
Lol. It’s gross.
1. How do you break your elbow at quiktrip?
2. Pics or it didn’t happen.
His manager had asked him to climb into the dumpster to get something that shouldn’t have been thrown away. When he climbed back out and jumped down, he hit his elbow on a pile of crates.
I’ll work on that picture.

The 1992 National Health and Social Life Survey
pedrosanchez:
Of the 3,500 American adults surveyed, here are a few major findings:
Adultery is the exception rather than the rule. Both men and women are remarkably faithful to their partners. Nearly 75 percent of married men and 85 percent of married women say they have never been unfaithful. Over a lifetime, a typical man has six partners, a typical woman two.
People in this country are...

Sadface.
The neighbors that moved into the house next door to us don’t like dogs. They called the city of Hazelwood, which has a two dog limit—admittedly, we’ve been flaunting that bad boy for a year now without realizing it; we thought the rule was more of a subdivision guideline. None of our other neighbors have ever spoken to us regarding the animals, and we do our best to bring them...

Yet another person has started following me on...
I never correct these people, because if they looked at my Twitter feed and still think I’m in a rock band, there’s not much else I can say to convince them otherwise.

I just profiled this organization for an assignment in one of my classes, and they seem really rad. Check out their website if you get the chance.

On Sunday at church, I overheard someone(s) totally raging about how the healthcare reform was going to kill America, the public option would put large swaths of our country out of work, and would totes fund abortions for every man, woman and child, etc.
I’m like 95% sure that the first two points are grossly inaccurate, but the final point is absolutely ridiculous....

I Choose This Day, Micah Ruelle
poetry365:
Light, your light,
slides
across the uneven skin of the earth-
longing to be waves;
to swell and surge like curled waves
caught in a horizontal ring.
_
Unlike the son of humanity;
not rising, divine,
a vertical reprimand,
accentuating the stark, defiant trunks of trees—
marking the slanted backs of men,
and their grotesque, handwritten notes
filed away in their brains.

Well there you have it, ladies and gentlemen!

I just became a statistic!
I officially (or non-officially, because sometimes doctors are like, well, since you have symptoms A, B, and C, then we’ll use our handy chart to fill in the blanks and diagnose you with THIS!) have the swine flu.
It kind of made me giggle a little bit. Until I remember the fact that I’m still sick. With the swine flu.
haha.
Well, off to bed for...

I agree with this completely—although I guess I’m not familiar with the prevalence of abortion coverage in insurance plans today. Is abortion provided for under many insurance plans? And under what conditions?
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not for people running around getting abortions willy-nilly, but I don’t really think anyone does that in the first place. I...

Buoyancy, Jelaluddin Rumi
Love has taken away my practices and filled me with poetry.
I tried to keep quietly repeating, No strength but yours, but I couldn’t.
I had to clap and sing. I used to be respectable and chaste and stable, but who can stand in this strong wind and remember those things?
A mountain keeps an echo deep inside itself. That’s how I hold your voice.
I am scrap wood thrown in your fire,...

It is Thursday. Oops.
Also: Google Wave! I don’t really know anyone else using it right now, but it seems neat.

Watching the Andrew Bird/St. Vincent performance from Austin City Limits. PBS, you rule. Also, let’s give a shout-out for Mr. DVR, for D-ly R-ing my V.
Okay, that reads inappropriately.
