The Brandenburg Gate illuminated at midnight in honor of Adolf Hitler’s 50th birthday; Berlin - 20 April 1939
There is something terrifically eerie about this.

“On January 31, 2013, approximately 400 milliseconds before the official release of the EIA Natural Gas Report, trading activity exploded in Natural Gas Futures and ETFs such as UGZ, UNG and BOIL. Now that the Feds have stated that they don’t think there is merit in prosecuting people who get news information earlier than others by milliseconds, is it any wonder?”

So the people at BlackBerry do know that we’re all just waiting around to see who is first to pick at their bones after they finally die, right?

Ok, so this may be the oddest thing I’ve ever posted to tumblr. Watch it. Wouldn’t this make a fantastic Three Stooges sketch if you add some “boink” and “bong” sound effects?
Also, the amount that I don’t understand the context of this video is astonishing.

Well, that’s disturbing.
But, like all things with these people, they cherry pick what they want to hear from her philosophy.
What they like to prop up are her limited government / capitalistic beliefs.
I must state that I am morally opposed to her philosophy and think that what she preaches is vile, venomous, and the current interpretation of her philosophy is dangerous, reckless, and ill-informed.
A philosophy dedicated only to the preservation of self at the expense of community, giving, and concern for the welfare of others is just absurd and not a world I want to live in.
Cuz who wants to give poor people handout? They aren’t givin’ me shit!

"Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee..."
“Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.”

I just wrote one of the greatest blog posts of my blogging life about this post an Tumblr lost it.
In summary?
1. You’re 23? It gets worse. It also gets better.
2. Life hurts and life doesn’t hurt. It isn’t a choice. It just happens.
3. One day you’ll be twice the age you were when you were 16 or 18 or 20 or 25 and you won’t even know that it happened. And there is no going back. Not a chance.
4. You’re going to want to cry way more frequently and over very minuscule things at seemingly random times. If you have the chance, do it. Let it happen.
5. All the dogs from TV shows I watched in college are dead. And that breaks my heart.
6. The older you get the older everyone gets. And they keep getting older.
7. It is all okay and it is all very much not okay.

The sucky thing is that’s the fave when you make when you get to Oregon, but it isn’t the face you make when you discover it is disturbingly like Portlandia. The other sucky thing is that is the opposite of the face you make when you have to leave Oregon even after living/visiting there.

Sometimes, fleetingly, I think about the opportunities I completely dropped the ball on and I cringe. I just got an email that reminded me of Portland and the endless string of poor choices that got me there and then continued after I moved there.
I suppose that’s how you keep from fucking that shit up again.
