I learned a little something about life from the Red Cross.

I definitely want to live the kind of life that makes me ineligible for blood donation.

I recently filled out an application for a License to Carry a Firearm in the State of Massachusetts. For a right that's specifically guaranteed in the constitution, they sure make the process extremely difficult. Then again, it's not exactly a walk in the park to set up a speedy trial with a jury of my peers. But the point being, they go to ( Read more... )

I guess it all depends on how you define things. As far as it goes, this is one my favorite iterations of things, regardless of whether or not things repeat endlessly like I suspect that they do. It's all a question of observation. The only things that matter in this, or any, universe are what we observe, so if the things we observe in this ( Read more... )

I would like to step away from the introspective for a moment and take a look at what I consider to be the ultimate in chick logic holes. Allow me to preface this discussion by saying I only attribute this to women because there have been no reported cases among the male community for so long that such men are considered to be completely extinctAm ( Read more... )

Will you keep on trying to prove it?

Can I ask you something?
Is your life better now?

There's nothing like an overabundance of choice to paralyze us. We are afraid of making the wrong decision. It's an irrational fear, though, because each path that is not taken disappears as soon as it is dismissed. In quantum theory it is possible that each selection we make spawns endless parallel universes, but they are immaterial. Even an ( Read more... )

Ok. I can't handle the peer pressure anymore.

If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would your first thought be?
(Now post this in your LJ and find out what mine would be).

Today's excercise in patience was dinner. I was in a pretty foul mood today and I decided that some good italian food would cheer me up. I didn't want to bother with the parking situation in the North End, though, and I wasn't dressed up enough to go anywhere nice. I had almost bailed on the idea by the time I got home, but I remembered that ( Read more... )
