So...
…as you may have noticed earlier, I had to get a new cell phone and it was impossible for me to retrieve the numbers from my old phone due to the damage sustained when it mysteriously slammed against my knuckles without provocation.
Therefore, if I had your number in the past, I don’t have it now and you should send it to me either by e-mail or through the Ask feature. If I...

…the folks at CNN liked my Salinger post, but needed it to be twice as long to post on their AC360 opinion blog. Luckily, I found some stuff in the storeroom….

herbeautytoucheseverything:
I’ve encountered some of the most inspiring, emotionally beautiful, physically beautiful, and bluntly written people on here. I’ve been challenged by others opinions, and motivated by the words of others to tell my own stories.
A year ago, I was still living in Austin, unknowing how drastically my life would change. Tumblr kind of helped change it. It feeds into my...

herbeautytoucheseverything:
I posted this last night, but I’ve had some inquiries, and I thought I’d post it again to anyone who didn’t see me post this before.
I have a few photo projects lined up and thought I might offer up the opporotunity for those interested who live in the Bay area. The first Photo Project I’d like to pursue is, as the title explains, A Pet Photo Project. If you’re...

Empty Chairs
You’re looking at the chair that Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when John Wilkes Booth sent a lead bullet smashing through his skull, tearing through his brain, terminating the thoughts and words and ideas of a man whose intelligence and creativity and strength and ingenuity helped him rise from nothing to everything, allowed him to capture his nation’s highest office, gave him the...
It turned into a love letter.
locomotivehootenanny:
I don’t often know what I know, but I know I don’t know enough. I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I don’t know where things are headed. I don’t know where I want to move. I don’t know if what I’m having for dinner is what I want to have for dinner. I don’t know what I will eventually be professionally. I don’t know if what I think are my strengths are really my...

Deleted Scene
“What starts the process really are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid…But if you are reasonably intelligent and if your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence and personal gut performance, while those who have everything are sitting on their fat butts.”

"What have I done?"
The 37th President of the United States was hysterical. Crumpled in a leather chair in the Lincoln Sitting Room, his favorite of the 132-rooms at his disposal in the White House, Richard Milhous Nixon called for his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. Nixon was drinking, Nixon was exhausted, Nixon was physically and mentally unwell and, hours earlier, Nixon had finally realized that he had no...

Original content? But where are the pictures of Lady Gaga or quotes about cats?

I danced around a snake, this morning.
locomotivehootenanny:
It was in the dining room. I am one of those sorrowful people who cannot think or communicate for half an hour after waking. The number of times I’ve place the milk in the cabinet, or spilt my coffee because I forgot I needed to keep hold of the cup to drink from it, is numerous. So, when I saw the snake on the floor, my immediate reaction was that it was fake. Not because...

Say what you will about the Leno-Conan NBC clusterfuck, but the best thing to come out of it is the vicious flare-up in the long-running war between Letterman and Leno. Letterman has been firing shots at Leno for the past week or so, and Leno finally hit back (and with a GOOD one).

Don’t let anyone tell you any differently, Tumblr. 30 is not the new 20. It’s still 30 more than 0 and 10 less than 40. 30 feels like 30. Sorry to burst your bubbles. But, hell, it’s still better than dead.

Happy Birthday, Boyfriend of mine!
(via herbeautytoucheseverything)
Thank you, my dear.
Also, thank you to everyone who sent Tumblr messages or e-mails or Facebook messages. You are all awesome. Not quite as awesome as my girlfriend and I, but still, pretty damn awesome nonetheless.
Today is Anthony Bergen's birthday.
brvtalbrodeo:
Today is also David Lynch’s birthday and the anniversary of the Wannsee Conference. Could it be a coincidence that these 3 things just happen to fall on the same day? I think not.
Thank you, Joe. I wish I could say that I was amazed or surprised that you were able to tie my birthday in with some moment in Nazi history, but I’m kind of beginning to expect it now.

I’ve been 30 for just over 15 minutes now and these are among the wonderful things my lovely girlfriend has said to me:
•”You’re old!” (Note the emphasis on “old”)
•”I’m going to have to push you around in a wheelchair soon.”
•”You’re not in your 20’s anymore, so you can’t use that as an excuse.”

The "Radar" made me do this
I kept seeing this photograph pop up on the Tumblr “Radar” all day yesterday and while I love the photo, the sheer number of times that I saw it yesterday made me think of terribly offensive things to go along with the photo. Now, I believe that the Radar is a flawed concept because it basically promotes the same shitty unoriginal content that everyone already fucking reblogs —...
Attention Sacramento Tumblrs
My family over at Capitol Roots is putting together an exhibition to raise money for Wyclef’s Yéle Haiti fund THIS Saturday at the Capitol Roots studio in Sacramento.
Admission is $10 at the door and proceeds go to Haitian earthquake relief. Come on out and see some local hip-hop, some talented b-boy and b-girl exhibitions, martial arts tricking, and an open graffiti station.

Here's your haiku: I don't know you well, but I'm sure as you can tell, you make tumblr swell.
I'm really dorky, and that wasn't a good haiku. I know.

that its a good thing that tumblr worked so hard to improve this site. I mean, sure I get an error every time I make a post or it takes like 2 or 3 minutes to load after that error but man that radar feature just rules so fucking hard. Honestly, have you guys ever seen anything as cool as that?
