This is my last tumblr post. I STILL LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

Sometimes I worry irrationally
Like I saw a movie where aliens saw broadcasts of television shows, and, well, what if they see that Seth McFarlane and Alex Borstein live show and they decide to just fucking blow up the entire planet?
SERIOUS TWEET I MEAN TUMBLR POST- switching jobs
I am going to be moving to a different firm to do the exact same work but outside of the big firm environment. When I go there, I don’t want any social media to ever be on my work computer, for about 75 million reasons including general productivity, not having personal crap all over their network, and as part of an effort to participate in more face-to-face socialization with my colleagues and superiors. This probably means I am going to nuke my tumblr account and as far as twittering, heck, I don’t know, we’ll just have to see. I think I almost need to shut it down until the new year, then slowly reintegrate it and try to strike a balance. I don’t want to cut it out of my life completely, forever, because I like it, it gives me a creative outlet, and I really value the connections I’ve made and all of your great tweets.
Just to illustrate my prior point.
Seriously, never forget.
Whoever did that to her should have genitals burned off.
I highly recommend this Natalie Portman -bald Google Image Search as a chaser.
First, bald can be beautiful. She has striking features, and the hair brings attention to them. Granted, her ears seem a little bigger, but not like, elfin or something.
Second, she’s still on my shit list over the whole supporting Polanski thing.
I agree with the sentiment but dang she just looks so much like a young female Karl Pilkington, not that he is an unattractive gentleman.
“ Defending Traditional Families is the new States’ Rights.
@ccsteff (via texburgher)
What’s most interesting to me is the total regression from logical argument to grasping at straws. Yeah, certainly, both major political parties in this country cry “states’ rights” when it benefits them, but at the very least you can say that the concept of states’ rights is grounded in a long standing jurisprudential history in this country. Gay marriage to me is a kind of hybrid, because family law is the classic example of an arena where states are left to do their own thing legally, but it’s a federal issue because of the 5th and 14th amendments and equal protection. But, point being, if someone’s argument is that a state should be allowed to legislate in accordance with its standards, to a point, there’s some logic and history behind it.
Contrast with “defending traditional families,” which has no logical or sociolegal basis, and is absolute meaningless horseshit. I am always very loathe to be outright disrespectful to those who I oppose politically, but every rationale I have ever heard against gay marriage is so nonsensical that I almost have no choice but to believe it’s just plain, outright bigotry.

Ok new idea. What if there was a guy who was a prison guard, specifically the guy who flips the switch on the electric chair to execute prisoners. And in a crazy twist, he is actually a serial killer, and when he kills someone, he also FRAMES someone for the murder. THEN, when that person is sentenced to death, the prison guard who framed him gets to murder him by flipping the switch and killing him in the electric chair! BUT WAIT, he gets caught and sentenced to death, BUT there is a kindly nun who is crusading against the death penalty like in Dead Man Walking. So she gets the Governor or whoever to stay the execution, and she goes to visit the prison guard killer and they hug, but [SPOILER/CRAZY FUCKED UP TWIST ALERT] she whips out her crucifix, which is a dagger in a cross-shaped sheath, and STABS HIM in the HEART because he framed her dad for a murder or something.
OR I thought what if zombies could live among us due to a synthetic nutritional supplement for zombies called “True Brains.”
Ok here is what I look like in a cheap suit when I am struggling to come to terms with how crummy that Maine election result is.
Dilemma
Unexpectedly have something this afternoon with someone it would behoove me to impress. Not knowing of this meeting when I got dressed this morning, I threw on a b-or-maybe-c level suit. Should I instantly, in a self-deprecatingly amusing way. apologize for my shabby appearance? Or should I just be confident and project that even when I look like crap, I look darn good?

Now, Ned thought, time for the stretching. He remembered several stretches from his previous status as a recreational jogger. What he did not remember was that each stretch would pull out his hard fought tuck job, causing him to have to strenuously retuck between each stretch because he disgusted himself, and because he couldn’t bear to expose his frontbutt to Skittles, his trusted but overly judgmental hamster companion. Skittles could not speak, of course, not yet, but showed his disdain by looking at Ned, then looking at himself in his little hamster mirror, and hopping onto his little hamster treadmill, running furiously. Ned could not understand how Skittles could tolerate the treadmill. “I get so bored on those, Skittles,” he would say. He could almost hear Skittles saying back to him “that explains your frontbutt, you fat fuck,” as he continued his treadmill scampering, but Skittles couldn’t talk. Not yet.
