my great aunt took me to red lobster today. it was awesome, mainly because i haven’t been in a couple years. i kept getting flashbacks to this one time i convinced mai and christine that it would be funny to go to the olive garden in chelsea, to get cheap food and to act like tourists. they were good sports, even when the sketchy server disappeared for 30 minutes and the (shockingly...
WatchBy profiling organizations in South Africa that use soccer as a tool for HIV education, this documentary explores a larger movement toward innovative, culturally sensitive development work. The question is one of gender…do girls have a spot on the field?
my friends maggie and jama went to south africa for 3 months last year to make this documentary. this is their finished product.

GOV. BUSH: "Because the picture on the newspaper. It just seems so un-American to me, the picture of the guy storming the house with a scared little boy there.

chicken soup won't help
ew, i was just watching tv and the video for ‘lollipop’ by lil wayne just came on, and i had to turn it off because lil wayne is so ridiculous looking. not only is he an actual midge, but he looks kind of like a drunk ray charles when he gyrates and flails around his party bus with his huge womanly sunglasses on.

record in 110-meter hurdles falls →
i used to run hurdles in high school. i was kinda bad. but i went to states i think. it was one of those things where they put the slowpokes in one heat, and the fasties in the other, and then keep combining the winners. so i would always be the winner. of the losers.
hm that sounds familiar.

true story.
we never learn
Jamie: how was the rest of the night last night? did you go to one?
me: hell no
Jamie: ha

everything else is our oyster
