WatchI love Stephen Colbert.
In this video, Colbert pitches Prescott Pharmaceuticals’ newest smokeless tobacco product, “Vax-Anus”, to compete with Camel’s “Snus”.

McSweeney's | The Conflicted Existence of a Female... →
From the column description:
Lynsey G. has taken odd writing jobs where she could get them for a few years now, and one day woke up to realize that they were all about sex. With gigs at three porn magazines doing DVD reviews, set copy, interviews, and more, a book in the works about swingers, and now this column, it appears that she’s deeply mired in smut. This column is more or less a...

poetry365:
How I wish I could fly where no one could see me, behind the ray of light leaving no trace.
But you—let the light encircle you. That’s the one happiness. Learn from a star the meaning of light.
If it’s a ray, if it’s light, that’s only because the whisper and chatter of lovers strengthen and warm it.
And I want to tell you that I’m whispering, I’m giving you to the ray, ...

Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Somethin’ filled up my heart with nothin’; someone told me not to cry. But now that I’m older, my heart’s colder, and I can see that it’s a lie. Children wake up, hold your mistake up before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don’t grow up our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up. We’re just a million little gods...

Shaving with a new razor is so much nicer than shaving with a dull one.

I don't wanna miss a thang.
Tonight in class, we watched like half of “Armageddon”, and we’re starting “The Fountain”, to be finished next week. What a shame that I’ll be at the Andrew Bird concert instead.

The Lovers, Dorianne Laux
poetry365:
She is about to come. This time, they are sitting up, joined below the belly, feet cupped like sleek hands praying at the base of each other’s spines. And when something lifts within her toward a light she’s sure, once again, she can’t bear, she opens her eyes and sees his face is turned away, one arm behind him, hands splayed palm down on the mattress, to brace himself so he...

“Maybe…you’ll fall in love with me all over again.”
“Hell,” I said, “I love you...”

I was thinking today—we call people “sex offenders”. Offenders. Predators. Why don’t we call them what they are? Rapists—child rapists—molesters, pedophiles, monsters? I just feel like “sex offender” is far too tame a term.

Rebecca and I celebrated two years together on Saturday. That’s a lot of together. I’m going to go ahead and take this opportunity to say some things. When I started dating Rebecca two years ago, I think—I know—that I thought life would get easier. Everything was going to fall into place. “This!” I said. “This is going to be so much less stressful than...

I just got home, and I want you all to know that I read 14 pages of my Tumblr dashboard, because I care about your lives.
Yep.

Sonnet XVII, Pablo Neruda
poetry365:
I don’t love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom and carries hidden within itself the light of those flowers, and thanks to your love, darkly in my body lives the dense fragrance that rises from the...

Hemingway was unspeakably awesome in nearly every way possible. This guy is worthy of his own “Washington, Washington” flash animation.

Introduction
thechalkboardproject:
Time is something that I’ve never had a grasp on.
I remember moments—snippets of things here and there. I remember silly things like how Courtney peed her pants in the first grade and I was scared to death to walk near that spot where she leaked long after it was cleaned up. Or that Fourth of July my dad and I sat on the dock of the lake with our feet in the water, just...

Dear Patrick Wilson
embracingthemelody:
I don’t think you realize how much you are missed in this ridiculous town called Warrensburg. I can honestly say you have come up in conversation every day in some fashion since i’ve been back, of someone else saying how much they miss you being here in our daily lives.
Just saying.

I’m worth it, damn it.
And you know what? So are you.
I believe it. We all are. We’re also more than just smarts or a pretty face by leaps and bounds.
I’m calling shenanigans on Aubrey’s statement.

Ghazal 395, Jelaluddin Rumi
LOVE RESIDES not in learning*
not in knowledge
not in pages and pamphlets
Wherever the debates of men may lead
that is not the lovers’ path
Love’s branches arch over pre-eternity
and yes, its roots delve down forever
A tree resting not on soil
nor trunk
nor even Heaven’s throne
We deposed reason,
punished passion with the lash —
this reason and these...

I talked about Anna Karenina and writing with Rebecca today for about half an hour on my way to work.
Anna Karenina is the first novel that we’ve (sort of) read together, out of what I hope to be many more. It was really exciting for me to hear her tell me what she liked about the book so far, and what she didn’t like. She still has—by my estimate—about 260 pages to go,...
