you never get too old to play with dollies.

The Last Good Record DMB Ever Made

I was thinking during my daily swim, the reason why so many of us get into actual fights with our close friends is because we want them to be perfect people, and when we see them be less than perfect, objectively, we think that they've failed us somehow. When you operate out of your group dynamic archetype, you set yourself up for isolation and most importantly a dynamic overhaul.

I wonder why I 've never kept a best friend for longer than a few years.

It's definitely just me.

I wrestled an idea, and closed it in a box

I'm losing my mind a little. Myspace has been down for the last day and a half and I feel very very lost without it.

hey everyone! there's been a power outage in our data center. we're in the process of fixing it right now, so sit tight. hopefully we'll be back online within the hour. its 6:40pm PST now. wanna place a bet? -Tom

With a power outage going on, who needs to be awake? Ihad a migraine last night so I think the best idea at this point (8:03 am EDT) is to go back to bed

which I will do.

I just felt like sharing.

She said most of these things because she was trying to convince herself

Some things come in the nick of time, just barely in time to save my life. Today, on the news, it was reported that a local 12 year old killed himself. The method: he hung himself with his favorite hoodie while his parents were downstairs making dinner. That in and of itself was not the reason that this information was deemed worthy to share with all of Southeast Michigan. The piece was only done because his parents were pushing for a bill in congress and selling t-shirts to promote awareness of teen/preteen depression. I get the feeling this boy's suicidal success was unintentional. He was trying to ask for help, but he asked in a way that....I'm having trouble formulating the correct word to describe what I'm getting at.

I've often thought about killing myself for the attention. The amount of attention I'd get is extremely lucrative, and my tale would be vaguely romantic whenever people told the story of their daughter/friend/cousin/neice/classmate that killed themselves.

I'm not sure that information would make it to the suicude note though.

But anyway...what stopped me today was the fact that it pretty much all that work, torment, anguish and angst was for this: http://www.wxyztv.com/wxyz/cn_call_for_action/article/0,2132,WXYZ_15905_4858550,00.html

Sandwiched between ads and pictures and links and everything else ever to distract you from the actual story.

Don't get me started on how short it actually is.

I did yoga today and all I wanted to do was smoke after.
