I present myself naked without comment.
Yet, do you see the endless mystic radiance
Enveloping now my shoulder now my hair now my hands now my feet?
Now I am a silhouette; the darkness bright can form.
It stings to be cast in contrast by such a holy light
But standing, staring at the viscous immensity
Of my own deepening shadow,
I present myself naked without comment.

Time is tough on toes -
They crinkle and they
Wrinkle, their burdens
More labored than steeples’.
Gnarled little buds -
You clench into earth
And stench of it too.
Yet toes are on feet
And I think the toe
Would feel, without its
Heel, robbed of a friend -
And life, of appeal.
My grandfather is an asshole. But he lived through the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression and World War II. It’s upsetting that I’m learning how much of a prick he is when he’s ridiculously old and feeble. I’m very thankful my dad isn’t like him.

Designers are, by definition, problem-solvers. And the world has never been so blessedly full of problems. Our infrastructure is rotting, the economy is crap, Wall Street is awash with criminals and millions of people can’t get basic medical care, food and water. We don’t need another app to rate your sandwich. We don’t need to know when we go to sleep and get up. We do not need digital farms....

Folks, I give you, the 2012 Republican...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)
Omg
Everything wrong
all the time!

thirdeyerevelations:
The only thing Christmas does for me is make me realize how alien I am amongst my family.
Our only relation is blood and talking about blood doesn’t make good conversation with my kin.
In short, I’m not a big fan of Christmas
My family reads the story of the birth of Christ before the gift exchange every year. I’d time travel to steal that stupid baby and drop it...
