I, however, am not sure if Phase 2 will be as successful. </li><li>I as a I'm forever disgusting laugh to myself I decided to try on this pair of jeans I bought wayyyy back in 2008 that have never fit me and low and behold they fit!

I LOATHE stories like this. There's nothing in this story that shows what kind of society we live in. A girl couldn't handle the religion she was probably forced into and her growing sexuality, so she had sex (at youth group- near other kids- okay weird), got pregnant and out of shame said she was raped. I HATE when stories say that stuff like this is exemplitive of our society. As a (former) student of history, art history and english literature, shit like this has ALWAYS happened. I really don't think human nature has changed, media has just put it all out there. <div><br /></div><div>Rant done.

She didn't really bully the girl. The girl is clearly not the brightest crayon in the box (1- her uni, 2- the course she studying, 3- she doesn't know who Yeats is) and shouldn't have had the placement. Feltz studied at Cambridge so clearly there was going to be some intellect gap. This shows why placements should be given based on merit not auctions by celebrities daughters. A normal student, who deserved the placement, would not have approached the Daily Mail for a story after being "bullied" into making cold calls, sooooo many jobs involve cold calls! <div><br /></div><div>That being said, I barely know who Vanessa Feltz is... </div>HayHayHamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12882482393283788499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312847283546791858.post-80856502835059952582011-01-24T23:20:00.000-08:002011-01-24T23:21:02.069-08:00Thank you Daily Mail for the Headline of my Nightmare's<meta charset="utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1350123/Worlds-largest-volcano-Yellowstone-National-Park-wipe-thirds-US.html">Is the world's largest super-volcano set to erupt for the first time in 600,000 years, wiping out two-thirds of the U.S.?

Men go, thought I, where they are wont to go, else had no soul entered the temple in the afternoon. A snow storm was falling around us. The snow storm was real; the preacher merely spectral; and the eye felt the sad contrast in looking at him, and then out of the window behind him, into the beautiful meteor of the snow. He had lived in vain. He had no one word intimating that he had laughed or wept, was married or in love, had been commended, or cheated, or chagrined. If he had ever lived and acted, we were none the wiser for it. The capital secret of his profession, namely, to convert life into truth, he had not learned. Not one fact in all his experience, had he yet imported into his doctrine. - From the Divinity School Address.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">I've been spending my day reading this, philosophically productive! </span></div>HayHayHamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12882482393283788499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312847283546791858.post-41354905683063550172011-01-21T02:20:00.001-08:002011-01-21T02:21:17.137-08:00The Guardian on Katie and Alex's split<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/lostinshowbiz/2011/jan/20/jordan-katie-price-alex-reid">This is</a> quite possibly the best news article I've read in years.HayHayHamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12882482393283788499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312847283546791858.post-9306906764398912852011-01-20T13:09:00.000-08:002011-01-20T13:10:14.842-08:00I'm a little late to this being in the UK and all, but it is AMAZING.<div><br /></div><div>Not sure how long this link will last...</div><div><br /></div><div><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1gUNixZwDbw" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>HayHayHamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12882482393283788499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312847283546791858.post-38156438766121154742011-01-20T12:50:00.001-08:002011-01-20T12:52:50.773-08:00I've had nothing to do at work the last few days, so I've decided to be productive and read articles, inspirational quotes, and such. I read a lot of Emerson quotes and decided to give him another try. I was, like most American's, forced to read some Emerson article's in high school and could barely comprehend them. <div>
<br /></div><div>I've been missing out. I find him unbelievably inspiring. This quote articulate's what my soul has been trying to say the past three weeks or so:</div><div>
<br /></div><div><meta charset="utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); line-height: 18px; ">"I appeal from your customs. I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should. I must be myself. I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, that I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me and the heart appoints. If you are noble, I will love you; if you are not, I will not hurt you and myself by hypocritical attentions. If you are true, but not in the same truth with me, cleave to your companions; I will seek my own. I do this not selfishly but humbly and truly. It is alike your interest, and mine, and all men’s, however long we have dwelt in lies, to live in truth. Does this sound harsh to-day? You will soon love what is dictated by your nature as well as mine, and if we follow the truth it will bring us out safe at last.—But so may you give these friends pain. Yes, but I cannot sell my liberty and my power, to save their sensibility. Besides, all persons have their moments of reason, when they look out into the region of absolute truth; then will they justify me and do the same thing."- Ralph Waldo Emerson </span></div>HayHayHamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12882482393283788499noreply@blogger.com0
