Types of girls that you would be interested in are never the types that would be interested back.
I realized today over breakfast with Dan Fisher, that I've got zero hobbies. There is nothing that I do in my free time. I work, then come home and usually mess around online or watch tv or something.
I also remembered that just a few years ago I used to care about things, and be really into lots of different stuff. I was watching Landon work in his garden, and remembered when Bill and I built one a few years ago when we first moved downtown and how into it we were (for a few months, anyway). I also used to be really into causes, like vegetarianism, and was a member of a few liberal BS groups in college.
So I've decided to use this summer to pick up some hobbies, start doing more stuff, and start being an actual human being. I'd like to do some volunteer work somewhere, do some good. I think I'm going to pick up a new instrument (banjo), probably start dedicating myself to being vegetarian again, and just eating better in general, and try and limit myself to 2 hours of internet time (outside of work) a day. I think I'll be healthier, physically and emotionally, and be actually happy.
Any other ideas on good hobbies to pick up?
Pens lose, Hawks lose, Canucks lose, Sharks lose.
If the Wings had just won their series it would've been pretty much the perfect first round.

This is the 2012 Summer Siemens STEM Institute Week at Discovery Headquarters in Silver Spring, MD. The Institute is the gathering of fifty amazing STEM educators across the United States. You can read all about the happenings and learn how you can be a part of it next year in this link. Most of all we want to share our week with you so you can learn about the awesome resources we are being introduced to here at Discovery One. Watch for posts all week that will let you be a part and learn from this amazing gathering! Before reading, be sure to sign up for upcoming Siemens STEM Academy blog posts in order to discover other great STEM treasures and ideas. Don't miss out... make sure you give us a follow on twitter at SiemensSTEMAcad and share with others! As always, thanks for joining us at the Siemens STEM Academy! – Mike Gorman (21centuryedtech)
After a introduction of an amazing group of 2012 Siemens STEM Fellows and week long facilitators the Institute settled into an engaging talk on Flipped Classrooms, Music, and STEM with Dr. Lodge McCammon from the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at North Carolina State University. Lodge discussed practical strategies that can be implemented to increase valuable classroom time while meeting the needs of diverse learners. He also suggested that possibly to might learn information from their own teacher's videos rather then ones that are found on the internet. Want to learn more about the Friday Institute and its amazing resources? Take a look at some of these valuable assets that Lodge shared.
1. First visit this Friday Institute page and watch the first two videos. They are short but will get you ready to learn more about doing a flip. The first; "No Lecture In The Classroom" is an awesome explanation on flipping. The second gives an explanation on "Why I Flipped My Classroom" from a teacher in the field.
2. Next, take a journey to Katie Gimbar's YouTube Playlist. Here you can take a look at a series of frequently asked questions answered by a teacher who is currently flipping her classroom. You will enjoy the nine short and informative videos answering questions teachers have in regards to the flipped classroom. Discover what to do if kids are not watching the videos, or solve the problem of no home connection. It really will be time well spent.
3. Last, take a moment to meet teachers that are flipping their classroom and learn from their examples. You will find a wide range of areas including STEM and even areas outside of the STEM subjects.
4. Visit Lodge's page on music, lyrics, and kinesthetic lectures. You will learn more about a unique project entitled FIZZ. You will learn how to combines, music, movement, and STEM. Check out some of Lodge's amazing STEM songs in his awesome music collection crafted to promote learning and creativity.
5. Learn more about Flipping and Fizz in this archived Siemens STEM Academy Webinar from Lodge and be sure to explore accompanying resource material.
Thanks for joining us in this first post from Discovery Headquarters highlighting this amazing week at the Siemens STEM Institute. Don't miss out, perhaps now is a great time to sign up for an RSS feed and also follow us on twitter at SiemensSTEMAcad. You may even wish to share this post webinar with others via a quick email or even a tweet! Try a little FIZZ and see you on the flip side! - Mike Gorman (21centuryedtech)

World Book Dictionary
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2008)
Publication date
The World Book Dictionary is a two-volume English dictionary published as a supplement to the World Book Encyclopedia. It was originally published in 1963 under the editorship of Clarence Barnhart, who wrote definitions for the Thorndike-Barnhart graded dictionary series for children, based on the educational works of Edward Thorndike whom Clarence Barnhart had known and worked with decades before. In some editions it was called the World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary.
Like the encyclopedia, it is designed to be user friendly to young people, yet comprehensive enough to be useful to adults. The definitions are designed with consideration for the age at which a person usually encounters the word. Quotations or sample sentences are offered with many words. Most proper names are excluded, leaving their treatment to the encyclopedia.
The word list is based on a formula for calculating frequency of use. Originally covering about 180,000 words, it has expanded to nearly a quarter million, making it considerably larger than most dictionaries, though not of "unabridged" scope. Its vocabulary has largely been drawn from the Century Dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary, and Barnhart's own extensive quotation file begun in the 1940s.
From 1963 The World Book Dictionary was updated annually and received a major revision in 1976. With the decline of traditional lexicography and the death of Clarence Barnhart in 1993, the work appears to have fallen almost into obscurity having been overshadowed by the World Book Encyclopedia which also includes the dictionaries as part of the set. As a standalone work, the World Book Dictionary has faded from use and public recognition.
During the 1960s the work was used as the basis of the Thorndike Barnhart range of school dictionaries published by Scott Foresman Publishing in Chicago, USA. These children's dictionaries were divided into 3 levels—Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced—and were revised and republished every three years or so until 1997, when Scott Foresman was bought out by Pearson Education. These three dictionaries were the major reference materials for school children in American schools throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. When Pearson Education gained Scott Foresman these dictionaries ceased to be updated and have not been updated or modernized since 1997.

In the early 1900s, Alexander Graham Bell intensively researched ways to lift humans heavenward on kite-like flying machines.
Now comes the decidedly earthbound postscript. The detailed archive that the telephone's inventor kept of his much later experiments in flight — more than 950 photographs and 217 pages of laboratory journals, many in Bell's own hand — was pulled back from the auction block at a hotel in Westlake Village on Wednesday, shortly before it was to go under the gavel.
Instead of finding its way to a new owner willing to bid an expected $120,000 to $150,000 or more, the record of Bell's inquiry into manned flight now may wind up in court custody.
PHOTOS: Arts and culture by The Times
"It's a massive mess," said Joseph Maddalena, president of Profiles in History, the Calabasas Hills auction house.
Maddalena said he'll keep the Bell archive locked up, hoping that the owner who consigned it to him can work out a mutually satisfactory arrangement with the prominent parties that surfaced the afternoon before the auction, urging that the sale not go forward. If not, Maddalena said, he'll ask a Superior Court judge to take custody of Bell's flight-experiment records and sort it out legally.
Two of America's most prestigious scientific and cultural institutions, the Smithsonian Institution and the National Geographic Society, joined with Bell's great-grandson and biographer, Edwin S. Grosvenor, to halt the auction. They say that something — although they're not sure exactly what — must have gone haywire decades ago for Bell's documentation of his investigations into flight to have escaped from his legacy-obsessed family and into the hands of a Smithsonian curator who kept it as his private property.
The curator, Paul Garber, was instrumental in launching what's now the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, one of the world's most-visited cultural sites. Its storage facility in Maryland is named for him. The auction catalog said Garber "acquired the archive for his personal use from the family of Alexander Graham Bell" around 1955. In 1991, the year before his death, Garber gave it to a close friend, Bevan Brown, a kite-flying enthusiast who'd helped launch an annual Smithsonian-sponsored kite festival.
Maddalena said his consigner had bought the Bell archive from Brown via an intermediary. Brown, now elderly, did not respond to an email or telephone message.
"The family is grateful that [Maddalena] did the right thing," Grosvenor said. The task now, he said, will be a hunt for evidence of what happened to the flight archive, which could be like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. The hunting grounds will include files of the Smithsonian, the National Geographic Society, the Library of Congress — where the bulk of Bell's papers reside — and the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Nova Scotia, Canada, where Bell had a summer home.
It would have been perfectly reasonable for the family to lend Bell's flight records to a Smithsonian aeronautics curator for research purposes, said Grosvenor, author of the 1997 biography "Alexander Graham Bell: The Life and Times of the Man Who Invented the Telephone." But give them away? That, he said, is preposterous.
In a letter to the auction house, Grosvenor and officials for the Smithsonian and National Geographic Society said that Garber was known for taking work home with him and that the archive may have been lent to the Smithsonianand then "commingled with his personal papers instead of being returned to their proper owners and custodians."
Bell kept exhaustive documentation of everything he did, said Grosvenor, who heads the American Heritage Society in Rockville, Md., and is editor in chief of American Heritage magazine. He said that hotly contested lawsuits in the 1870s over Bell's right to patent the telephone turned him into a fanatical documenter and hoarder of everything he did — a policy embraced after his death in 1922 by the son-in-law who became chief custodian of his legacy.

That was Gilbert H. Grosvenor, longtime editor of National Geographic magazine, who brought mountains of Bell records to the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., which Bell had helped to found.
"He meticulously brought all this material together in one place and had professional archivists to aggregate, sort, file and index it," Edwin Grosvenor said. "It's just inconceivable to me that he would have given it to anybody for any reason except research purposes — 'Here's something, make a copy of it and return it to us.'"
In 1976, Bell's heirs donated all the documents that had been housed at the National Geographic Society to the Library of Congress, in keeping, Grosvenor said, with the family's aim of ensuring that all of Bell's records remain publicly available for research. He said the flight records will join the rest if he can recover them.
Grosvenor said that while researching his Bell biography, he was struck by the lack of records related to Bell's experiments with flight for several years beginning in 1903, when everything else was so well-documented.
It remained a mystery, he said, until about two weeks before the auction, when a friend alerted him that Lot 48 was the Bell flight archive. Grosvenor said he scrambled to enlist the Smithsonian and National Geographic Society to help stop the auction.

Bishop said student loans should be the responsibility of private companies or, if government is involved, they should be handled at the state level.
"The idea that the federal government should step in here is frightening."
Taking a stand on student loans
The president's position » President Barack Obama wants to set the interest rate for federally backed student loans at a little less than 1 percentage point above the rate charged for 10-year Treasury notes. He wouldn't place a cap on how high the interest rate could go, but would lock in the rate for the life of the loan.
The House bill » The House-passed measure would set the interest rate on all Stafford loans at the rate of high-yield 10-year Treasury notes plus 2.5 percent. That would put the current rate at around 5 percent. Tied to the market, the amount of interest students pay would move up and down annually, but would be capped at 8.5 percent.
The Senate's plan » A bipartisan Senate coalition has put forward a plan meant to bridge the gap. It offers different rates for undergraduate, graduate and PLUS loans, with undergraduates getting the lowest rates. All rates would be tied to the interest rate of a high-yield 10-year Treasury note and locked in for the life of the loan. Based on current Treasury note rates, all of the loan rates would be lower than the 6.8 percent that would kick in without action.

Matheson couldn't disagree more. He believes federal policy properly works to "level that playing field so there's not an insurmountable financial hurdle to go on and get additional education." That means offering federal grants and student loans.
He resists the idea of variable-rate loans and worries about setting a rate too far above that of a 10-year Treasury bond.
"We want people to look for the jobs that they want to do and are passionate about," he said. "We don't want economics to necessarily be driving their decisions."
Nearly 58,000 Utah students received a federally subsidized loan in the 2011-12 academic year, and graduates finished school with an average of $17,200 in debt, according to the Utah System of Higher Education. That's significantly lower than the national average of $26,700, in part because the state's universities and colleges are cheaper and many Utah students work while going to school.
Tashnizi has a paid internship along with her job at Ann Taylor, which pay for her rent and groceries. She shared her personal story with Matheson, who met with a group of Utah students to discuss college costs.
He mentioned a few of them on the House floor to remind Congress of the real-world impacts of the debate.
"This legislative process sometimes becomes more theoretical and not real," he said. "Sometimes I think it's too easy for members of Congress to forget how important this is to specific individual people and their world."
Utahn's story » Tashnizi's story stood out to Matheson because, as first-generation Americans, her family has always considered educational opportunity to be part of the American Dream.
Satin grew up watching both of her parents struggle to provide for her, working multiple jobs while going to school, continually reminding Satin that America is the land of opportunity," he said in a speech on the House floor in mid-June.
Tashnizi's mother emigrated from Iran in 1993 and went to college and graduate school while her daughter was in elementary school. She instilled in Tashnizi the conviction that a good education could take her anywhere she wanted to go.
"Every single morning that I woke up she would say, 'Satin, you can do whatever you want, just get your education,'" Tashnizi said. It never occurred to her that money may stand in her way.
Sitting cross-legged on her living room floor in September with Amherst paperwork around her, Tashnizi watched Obama accept his party's nomination at the Democratic National Convention.
In his speech, he said: "No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don't have the money."
Tashnizi, teary-eyed, realized she would have to do just that.
"I felt someone turned a back on me when I had tried so hard, worked so hard to show myself," she said.
Today, she's concerned that such a decision may lie before her once again.
If increased interest rates make the debt from her undergraduate degree unmanageable, she may have to think twice about becoming a heart surgeon.
"I don't want my reasons for diverting from medical school to be anywhere related to money," she said.Next Page >

I'm hoping you'll help me with some unscientific research into how bar associations are either effective or ineffective at communicating and connecting with members. I am speaking later this month at a meeting of bar communications professionals and would appreciate your input. In particular, I am curious about:
- How does your bar make effective use of technology to communicate with you?
- How does your bar miss the boat in its use of technology?
- What does your bar do right or wrong in its use of social media?
- Does your bar offer mobile apps or mobile access that you find either useful or a waste of time?
- How is your bar effective at communicating with you?
- How is your bar ineffective at communicating with you?
- Overall, would you rate your bar savvy or clueless about technology and social media.
I could go on with questions, but my basic interest is simply in hearing what you find effective and ineffective. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to comment below, shoot me an email at ambrogi-at-gmail.com, or message me on Twitter (@bobambrogi).

IMHO both the Minnesota State Bar and my local Range Bar do an excellent job of emailing me information. I want less stuff in the mail, I haven't opened a magazine all year. In the weekly emailed Legal News Digest, I am at maximum capacity on MSBA headlines, I don't want to take more than five minutes to read through them, and I try to delete rather than read the articles later (there is no time later either). The Range Bar sends two or three emails a month regarding meetings and CLEs, and that is all I want.
Sarah · September 5, 2013 at 3:22 pm
NYSBA is not a mandatory bar, but they do send a lot of materials our way. Mailings, email campaigns, it can be overwhelming amounts of materials. However, they are in the process of revising their website and adding a private social network that may change how all of this is handled in the future. The next few months may be very interesting.
Ted · September 5, 2013 at 4:47 pm
IN State Bar is pretty good using social media to keep information moving to and for members. A fairly early adopter of email discussion lists, these lists are among the best things the bar does now.
One area I have thought the bar could improve is in communicating the efforts of volunteer lawyers. Lawyers who chair important committees and take time to do bar work could be recognized by bar leaders sending news reports to the business editors of papers local to the lawyer, to share the news about the member, and offer some modest benefit to the volunteer member.
Anne · September 13, 2013 at 6:02 pm
As far as I can tell, RIBA doesn't know how to use social media and it uses email ineffectively. RIBA's use of email is limited to: single issue "letters" from the President or a bar staffer that are wordy and/or too personal and/or promoting an individual pet project; and requests for volunteer lawyers or money. There is no use of email or social media to substantively inform the members of the bar of anything. It's so bad that many of RIBA members block anything from RIBA. The RIBA listserv that was created has two user groups: (1) lawyers asking for forms, and (2) other lawyers pontificating ad nauseum. The RIBA is still sending too much snail mail, including a monthly bar journal that would be better left in electronic format instead of our circular files.

This is a great "unscientific" study. I have really enjoyed reading the other comments and would look forward to hearing more about what you research finds.

Hello All!
I've missed seeing all the wonderful P+E Challenge entries the last couple of months! I'm sure everyone can commiserate with a crazy, crazy, crazy life :)
This month, we're going to get a little wild and adventurous.
We're going to focus on one ELEMENT of design and one PRINCIPLE of design..... are you up to the challenge????.......here we go!
Your ELEMENT of design is SHAPE. Shape is defined as an area that is enclosed by line(s). Shapes are two dimensional and can show dimension by overlapping.
Your PRINCIPLE of design is REPETITION. Repetition is the recurrence of an element within a piece of art. The element is often echoed, with variation to create interest. Variations can occur in color and size, etc.
Here are some examples: (images are clickable so you can go leave some love)
So here is your mission:
1. Create a layout that incorporates both Shape and Repetition. This layout must be a new layout, and not used for any other challenge.
2. Upload your layout to the P+E Gallery. Be sure and give us the juicy details of what you chose and why in the description field.
3. Post back here with a link to your layout. This makes it easier for the other participants and myself to leave love, and makes it easier to distribute posting bonuses.
4. Challenge counts towards the Scrappin' 7 Challenge, depending on which month you upload. If you upload in January, it will count towards the January challenge, if you upload in February it will count towards the February Challenge.
5. The use of GDS Products is encouraged. You can find the fabulous new lovelies in the shop by clicking HERE.
BONUS: Incorporate the Element of COLOR into your page by using either a COMPLIMENTARY color scheme (colors opposite each other on the color wheel) or an ANALOGOUS color scheme (three or more colors found next to each other on the color wheel) for an extra posting bonus.
This challenge ends at midnight EST on February 15, 2010. Layouts must be uploaded by the deadline to qualify for the bonuses.
On your marks....get set....and GO! Can't wait to see what you come up with this month, scrappers!

We have had a great couple of weeks. We have had several inches of snow on the ground for a week now (so not normal) and we are loving playing in the snow, mostly because we have had no where that we absolutely have to be. But, life has go on sometime right?
Today was that day for us. The kids are back to school, I am back to crossing things off my list, and setting new goals for the new year.
Are you a goal setter? I have tried to be much better in that area and I think it's been worth it. I even set some goals for this blog of mine. And I am happy to report that I met most of them, which makes me excited. I set some of them really high (like # of followers) and I almost got there.
So thank you to all of you for helping me achieve most of my goals. I couldn't do it with out each one of you.
Now on to this delectable, creamy bit of deliciousness. This is my new favorite jello. I made it for a Christmas dinner for the ladies in my ward (church) and even for our Christmas dinner here at home. The pears give it a smooth texture plus I think it enhances the flavor of the raspberry and makes one amazing jello dish.
Creamy Raspberry Jello Salad
(click here for printable version)
1 (29 oz) can pears
1 cup pear juice
1 cup hot water
1 (6 oz) box raspberry jello
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (12 oz) carton cool whip, thawed
1. Drain your can of pears, reserving juice. Put one cup of the juice in a microwavable bowl, adding the hot water. Microwave 2 minutes or until it starts to boil.
2. Add contents the contents of you box of raspberry jello into the hot water/juice mixture and stir until jello is completely dissolved. Put it in your fridge until it cools a little bit--don't let it cool too much, you don't want it to turn into jello yet.
3. When your jello mixture has cooled, pour the pears into your blender. Add the softened cream cheese and blend until completely smooth. Slowly add jello mixture and blend again. Pour mixture into the bowl of your stand mixture, fitted with the whisk attachment. Add cool whip and whip until completely incorporated and fluffy.
4. Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until set up. Enjoy!

Perfect Spot in St. Pete.
The house is even better than the pictures! Everything you would need and more. Parking, sleeping space, boat dock, the beautiful backyard and pool. We had an outing for the weekend with high school friends. Couldn't have asked for a better spot. Fit all of us, and is in the perfect location. Right near the main strip of restaurants, bars, supermarkets etc. Jeff and his wife were extremely accomodating. This was my first experience booking something through a site, in an area I had no idea about. Don't hesitate! I would book this again without a second thought! Jimmy
You're ON the beach!
I wanted a clean condo on the beach, with a private balcony so we could enjoy a meal while taking in the beach view and sound of crashing waves. This condo satisfied those requirements. It is homey and we enjoyed our stay there. We could just take the elevator down, walk through the parking garage and be on the beach. We did not use the pool. Laundry room was right across from our door and very convenient. We appreciated the covered parking. I would recommend this unit. I'd give this a 4.5 if I could, but there is no option for that.
Clean and quiet condo with great access to beach.
We had a real nice time at the Gulf Winds. The resort itself was quiet, with great access to the beach, which is across a lightly traveled two lane street. This particular condo had a beach view, which was pretty cool. The condo was clean had a nice amount of space for my wife and I. I was really happy with the ease and convenience of check in - the owners were fantastic and the rate was very reasonable. For that alone, I would consider renting this place again. The beach is undergoing restoration so there are currently large yellow tube-like things the size of small docks on the beach, which was unfortunate but was more an aesthetic issue than anything. Those are just temporary and you can walk a ways down the beach and you'll be fine. All in all, I was real pleased with the condo and would recommend it for sure.

Obama returns to arms control -- just in time
President Barack Obama's call during the State of the Union address to reduce the threat of nuclear war could not have been more timely. The day before the president spoke, North Korea tested a primitive nuclear device, and the following day reports surfaced of Iranian attempts to buy technology that would greatly speed up its production of weapons-grade uranium.

This tastes like a lemonade stand in a slice of pie ! It is so refreshing and delicious. Instead of the second pie, I used the extra filling to make homemade ice pops.
16 servings (2 pies)
198 calories per serving
1 ½ c boiling water
.3 oz. package lemon Jello (sugar free)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
6 oz. frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
8 oz. cool whip, thawed
1 c raspberries
2 low fat graham crusts
Add boiling water to jello and stir 2 minutes to dissolve completely. Cool a bit and then add in the lemonade. Beat cream cheese until creamy and then gradually add jello mix. Stir in cool whip and berries and pour into crusts then refrigerate at least 4 hours. It will be very thin at this stage – after it is refrigerated it will thicken up a lot. You can also freeze this and simply thaw ½ hour or so before serving. Garnish with a few leftover raspberries.Tags: cool whip, cream cheese, Dessert, graham crust, jello, Kid Friendly, lemon, lemon jello, lemonade, lemonade concentrate, pie, raspberry, raspberry lemonade pie, Summer

And thought it was the foreshadowing of my death,
The reality is, being born was the foreshadowing of my death.
Let the pens drop, people die. I'm alive.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."—Martln Luther King, Jr.
Named my horse Sir Hoofington.
No regrets.
I have a friend who is an artist, and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "Look how beautiful it is" and I'll agree. And he says, "you see as an artist I can see how beautiful this is, but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing." And I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe, although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is; but I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean, it's not just beauty at this dimension of one centimeter, there's also beauty at smaller dimensions. The inner structure, also the processes, the fact that the colors and the flower are evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting. It means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms that… why is it aesthetic… all kinds of interesting questions which with science, knowledge, only adds to the excitement, and mystery, and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts. If you expected science to give all the answers to the wonderful questions about what we are, where we are going, what the meaning of the universe is, and so on, then I think you could easily become disillusioned and look for some mystic answer to these problems. How a scientist can take a mystic answer, I don't know, the whole spirit is to understand… Well, never mind that, I mean I don't understand that. But anyhow, if you think of it, the way I think of what we're doing is that we are exploring, we're trying to find out as much as we can about the world.
People say to me "Are you looking for the ultimate laws of physics?" No I'm not, I'm just looking to find out more about the world, and if it turns out there is a simple ultimate law that explains everything, so be it. That would be very nice to discover. If it turns out it's like an onion with millions of layers, and we're just sick and tired of looking at the layers, then that's the way it is.
But whatever way it comes out, nature is there and she's going to come out the way she is.
Therefore, when we go to investigate it, we shouldn't pre-decide what it is we're trying to do
except to find out more about it. You see, one thing is: I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and there are many things I don't know anything about. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things; by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell possible. It doesn't frighten me. And so altogether I can't believe the special stories that have been made up about our relationship to the universe at large because they seem to be too simple, too connected…too local, too provincial. The earth, he came to the earth! One of the aspects of god came to the Earth, mind you. And look at what's out there, it isn't in proportion. Anyway, it's no use arguing, I can't argue it. I'm just trying to tell you: with the scientific view, my father's view, that we should look to see what's true and what may not be true; once you start doubting, which to me is a very fundamental part of my soul, is to doubt, and to ask; when you doubt and ask, it gets a little harder to believe.
-Richard Feynman
When you're ready to wake up, you're going to wake up, and if you're not ready you're going to stay pretending that you're just a 'poor little me.' And since you're all here and engaged in this sort of inquiry and listening to this sort of lecture, I assume you're all in the process of waking up. Or else you're teasing yourselves with some kind of flirtation with waking up which you're not serious about. But I assume that maybe you are not serious, but sincere – that you are ready to wake up.
So then, when you're in the way of waking up, and finding out who you really are, what you do is what the whole universe is doing a the place you call here and now. You are something that the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing… The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around; the real, deep down you is the whole universe.
So then, when you die, you're not going to have to put up with everlasting non-existance, because that's not an experience. A lot of people are afraid that when they die, they're going to be locked up in a dark room forever, and sort of undergo that. But one of the interesting things in the world is–this is a yoga, this is a realization–try and imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up. Think about that.
Children think about it. It's one of the great wonders of life. What will it be like to go to sleep and never wake up? And if you think long enough about that, something will happen to you. You will find out, among other things, it will pose the next question to you. What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep? That was when you were born.
You see, you can't have an experience of nothing; nature abhors a vacuum. So after you're dead, the only thing that can happen is the same experience, or the same sort of experience as when you were born. In other words, we all know very well that after other people die, other people are born. And they're all you, only you can only experience it one at a time. Everybody is I, you all know you're you, and wheresoever beings exist throughout all galaxies, it doesn't make any difference. You are all of them. And when they come into being, that's you coming into being.
You know that very well, only you don't have to remember the past in the same way you don't have to think about how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism. You don't have to know how to shine the sun. You just do it, like you breath. Doesn't it really astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing, and that you're doing all this and you never had any education in how to do it? Never learned, but you're this miracle?
-Alan Watts

Starting a new book is a risk, just like falling in love. You have to commit to it. You open the pages knowing a little bit about it maybe, from the back or from a blurb on the front. But who knows, right? Those bits and pieces aren't always right. Sometimes people advertise themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that they're something completely different. Either there was some good marketing attached to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a superficial way and once you reach the middle of the book, you realize there's so much more to this book than anyone could have ever told you.
You start off slow. The story is beginning to unfold. You're unsure. It's a big commitment lugging this tome around. Maybe this book won't be that great but you'll feel guilty about putting it down. Maybe it'll be so awful you'll keep hate-reading or just set it down immediately and never pick it up again. Or maybe you'll come back to it some night, drunk or lonely — needing something to fill the time, but it won't be any better than it was when you first started reading it.
Maybe you're worn out. You've read tons of books before. Some were just light weights on a Kindle or Nook, no big deal really. Others were Infinite Jest-style burdens. Heavy on your back or in your purse. Weighing you down all the time. Maybe you've taken some time off from reading because the last few books you read just weren't worth it. Do they even write new, great works of literature anymore? Maybe that time you fell in love with a book before will just never happen for you again. Maybe it's a once in a lifetime feeling and you're never gonna find it again.
Or something exciting could happen. Maybe this will become your new favorite book. That's always a possibility right? That's the beauty of risk. The reward could actually be worth it. You invest your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is empathy and a new understanding and pure wonder. How could someone possibly know you like this? Some stranger, some author, some character. It's like they're seeing inside your soul. This book existed inside some book store, on a shelf, maybe handled by other people and really it was just waiting for you pick it up and crack the spine. It was waiting to speak to you. To say, "You are not alone."
You just want more of the story. You want to keep reading, maybe everything this author's ever written. You wish it would never end. The closer it gets to the smaller side of the pages, the slower you read, wanting to savor it all. This book is now one of your favorites forever. You will always wish you could go back to never having read it and pick it up fresh again, but also you know you're better for having this close, inside you, covering your heart and mind.
Once you get in deep enough, you know you could never put this book down."—Gaby Dunn, Falling In Love Is Like Reading A New Book (via larmoyante)
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Demolition Lovers
The Sharpest Lives are the Deadliest to Lead
Frank really hated the rain.
The nineteen-year-old stood, shivering, on the sidewalk. Every now and then a car would pass, and the young man would stop shaking and lounge against the street lamp, smiling mysteriously and trying to look appealing in the frigid rain.
Sometimes being a male prostitute was tough.
He hadn't always been selling himself on a New Jersey sidewalk. There had been a time when Frank Iero had lived in a nice college dorm. Frank had been studying music at an art school, and things had been going well until some genius had gotten him kicked out.
This random kid had decided to dump a bag of pot in the hallway rather than smoke it. As the only student with a lip ring, tattoos, and 'emo' bangs, Frank had been blamed.
So the college kicked him out, his parents had moved to Indonesia the year prior, and he was so broke homeless people pitied him. Fan-fucking-tastic.
The prostitution had happened by complete accident. He'd been washing his clothes at a dime-per-wash laundromat every few days, but he wasn't that great with proper machine-washing techniques. Frank had somehow managed to shrink his shirt and tear up his jeans in the same machine, much to his intense displeasure.
Frank had been walking down the street feeling like a complete idiot when the first car pulled up. A balding man wearing a suit and tie stuck his head out his driver's side window and offered to 'put some use to that pretty little mouth.' Frank had shown the guy his middle finger and stormed off. This happened three more times with different cars before he realized what was going on.
That night, he returned to his cheap motel room feeling sore, but nearly four-hundred bucks richer.
Frank sighed as a black sedan drove by without slowing. Usually he'd be in some stranger's car, sweating from the heat and, of course, the closeness of another sweating body. But today had been slow; it was nearly three and he hadn't been picked up once. The boy fiddled with the torn edge of his shirt, wondering if it wasn't sexy enough. The jeans were certainly tight enough, but perhaps his pitch-black tee was a bit too loose.
A dark blue toyota pulled over, and Frank decided to drop the mysterious act and pull out the big guns. His green eyes widened innocently as he approached the car, and his black bangs were hanging in front of them like a shield. He licked his bottom lip, sliding his tongue slowly over his lip piercing. From behind the tinted window, he could see the driver of the car flinch violently and dive for the door handle. The passenger door was flung open and Frank slid inside, looking shyly down at his hands. After a while, Frank peeked up through his bangs.
The driver was everything Frank had expected him to be. The man was about thirty-five, with dark-blonde hair that was silver in a few places and gray-blue eyes. He was handsome, but judging by the way he avoided eye-contact, unused to picking up prostitutes.
Frank smiled sweetly, and the John swallowed. "Thanks for getting me out of the rain," said Frank softly, leaning closer to the John. "It was so cold out there, but now I'm warm."
The John nodded quickly, staring at Frank's mouth as it got closer. Frank giggled quietly.
"My name's Frank," said the boy, now breathing softly into the John's ear. " And yours?"
The blonde man shuddered, and Frank thought he heard the beginning of a moan. He hadn't even touched the dude!
"Peter," said the man hoarsely. "Peter Be-"
Frank crushed his lips to Peter's mouth and ran his young along the other man's teeth. This time Frank was certain that he heard a faint moan.
"Shh," whispered Frank when they broke apart. Peter's face was flushed, and his eyes were wild. "We don't need last names."
Without waiting for a response, Frank leaned in and put his mouth back on Peter's. His tongue slipped out and lapped at Peter's lip, seeking entrance. Peter didn't hesitate too long before opening his mouth and allowing Frank's tongue inside.
Frank snaked his hand between their bodies and stroked Peter's chest and stomach. His slender fingers explored the slightly-defined muscles eagerly, lingering in places and just barely touching others before moving on.
Not to Frank's surprise, Peter pulled away. "Not here," the man panted, eyeing the sidewalk nervously. "We need to... to f-find a p-parking lot or something."
Frank nodded. This was just procedure; show them what they'll get, and they'll take you somewhere private to get it.
"Okay," said Frank, not even out of breath. His voice was thick and husky, the same voice he used with his other customers. After placing another slow kiss on Peter's lips he retreated back to his seat, intentionally leaving his hand on Peter's thigh. 'Motivation,' thought Frank with a smirk.
Peter swallowed loudly and clumsily put the Toyota into drive. The dark blue car was soon zooming down the streets of New Jersey, eventually parking in the lot of a run-down motel.
An obnoxiously loud beeping jarred the boy from his afternoon nap. Groaning in protest, Gerard Way slammed his hand down on the snooze button and rolled out of bed.
"I am twenty-fucking-years old today," he snarled at the offending alarm clock. "Why must you torture me this way?"
The alarm clock was silent. Snorting, Gerard stumbled out of his bedroom and into the tiny kitchen of his apartment. The birthday-boy yawned widely before reaching for his coffee machine.
Gerard was currently attending an art college in upper New Jersey. He'd been obsessed with comic books since he was young, and decided that he wanted to make some of his own. He liked his classes, but so far nothing had made him think 'this is what I was meant to do.' He didn't see how his drawings were going to change anything, and that's all he'd ever wanted to do. So far the only interesting thing that'd happened was that kid who'd been busted for smoking pot last semester.
That Saturday afternoon wasn't much to look at. Rain poured down from the sky, and Gerard thanked whatever God had made this messed-up world that classes were out that day. The black-haired young man stared out his window, pitying the fools that were unfortunate enough to be outside.
His apartment view consisted of a Starbucks (I know, right?) and a filthy motel that had a habit of swallowing multiple prostitutes and Johns every day (pun completely intended).
As Gerard poured his coffee, his dark-green/hazel eyes stared intently at the motel. He wondered why such a busy place looked like such a dump. 'Must be cheaper than I thought,' he decided.
A dark-blue Toyota was the only car in the lot today. Gerard guessed it had to do with the weather; there weren't too many prostitutes desperate enough to stand in the rain.
A figure walked through the front door of the motel; a blonde man with a brown sweater. He stormed out of the building and yanked open the door of the Toyota. Within seconds, the man tore out of the parking lot and disappeared into the storm. Gerard barely had time to wonder why he was leaving alone when another person stumbled out.
This new person was shorter than Gerard liked. Suppose it was a kid? The small figure was wearing tight jeans and a black t-shirt; no doubt a prostitute.
"SHIT!" Gerard shrieked. He had been so interested in what was going on outside that he forgot he was pouring steaming coffee. He hastily put his cup and pot down on the counter, still swearing. Whimpering slightly, the young man sucked on his burnt hand and continued to stare at the prostitute at the motel.
The prostitute took three steps, swayed dangerously, and toppled over.
