Taco Bell's ad response to being sued

Amazing.
How do I marry Jesse Eisenberg?

Also I tots work for the next facebook, so I wonder who will play me in the film version?

Wise Words

A friend sent me this quote. Solid life advice.


“be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. and the point is to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. perhaps you do carry within yourself the possibility of shaping and forming as a particularly happy and pure way of living; train yourself to it - but take whatever comes with great trust, and if only it comes out of your own will, out of some need of your inmost being, take it upon yourself and hate nothing.”

I listen to this song so much that I think my housemates may think there's something seriously wrong with me. Oh wait, they're never here. And I know I've posted it here like 18 times, but it's the best song ever (well top 5).


TOO REAL. I like to alter the dialogue in my mind to fit my life. Awful.

Also, the new job has taken over my life.

Daily Mail story of the mornin'

In this story I fully sympathsize with Vanessa Feltz. 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!

That being said, I barely know who Vanessa Feltz is...

The Perfect Morning Song

I could listen to this song on repeat everyday before 10am. I know I've posted it before, but it's just so beautiful! Such an ugly man, such a GORGEOUS voice.

Mas Emerson

I once heard a preacher who sorely tempted me to say, I would go to church no more. 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.


I've been spending my day reading this, philosophically productive!
