Modest Mouse: Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night turns out to be, a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole? God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

i'll start.

10 years ago i was turning 17, drunk at inflatablevagina's house party off of hot damn and jager, i attempted to go on a cow hunt in the pasture behind her house with all my drunk boyfriends, we got scared, did a group piss around a tree, didnt find any cows. insulted her frankenstein-like boyfriend. got in a fist fight with a marine.

a few months later we (inflatablevagina and i) got kicked out of our first apartment for hosting a brothel, i ran away to denver with another friend, lived in a car for a while, spent a year drunk and stoned on a mountain top and traveling around the west having an existential crisis. somehow woke up one morning and realized i had somehow become the host house for interstate traveling ravers seeking parties in the rockies, hazy memories of debauchery flooded back into my brain, promptly moved back to texas, met a beautiful crazy man, had his baby, married him. had another one of his babies, he quit taking his meds and went really really really fucking crazy, left him for good, bought a house, took 8 years worth of xrays. had some personal trauma. had some personal triumph. embraced a broken heart, lived in poverty, got disowned at least 5 times, read alot of books. battled alcoholism internally and externally, philosophized with friends, experienced loss. experienced joy, became subject to gravity, reveled in inertia, lost momentum, was ruled entirely by emotion and impulse, embraced metaphor, was misunderstood, reunited, gave back, took, volunteered my time, attempted to mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally available, acted irrationally, behaved selfishly, felt whole sometimes, self-taught, fell in love, stepped in infatuation, gave birth. was a mommy. was a wife. was a tattoo supply delivery girl, was a barista. was a pizza maker. was an xray tech. was a massage therapist. was an insomniac. took in my crazy teenage cousin, dated an old friend, reconciled some family shit. lost my mind, traveled alot, lived simply and briefly caught a hold on inner peace, lost it, went crazy, quit taking xrays, went back to school, embraced the amazingness of unemployment. learned to bake, invented some recipes, had some ideas. ate some cookies. raised some amazing babies. raised some cool ass quirky talented kids, paid alot of bills. abandoned all laws of grammar. flirted with internet addiction, smoked 99999999 packs of cigarettes. and several hundreds bowls, made a sift talk post.

I woke up this morning in the "the bill is still worth passing" category, but I'm starting to be persuaded otherwise.

That's just how I looked when I woke up this morning. They say sacrifising a new-born will make it go away, but I think I'm just going to try some pills first.

Nice avatar makeover.

Let's assume the following:
- That really was the reason behind 9-11, and Sheik Mohammed didn't just say anything to get his interrogators to stop waterboarding him.
- No one in the US government had any part in the attacks, directly or indirectly (meaning, no one knew the attacks were going to happen and didn't stop them, no one diverted air defenses away from the NYC area for a drill, no one planted explosives in the WTC to make sure they collapse, etc).

With that said, even if he was just a guy who woke up one morning, chatted with Osama about how bad it is that the US and Israel are committing atrocities in the Palestinian territories, and decided to take down the WTC as a result, Isn't reporting his interrogation statements and his reasoning for the attacks promoting his agenda?

Isn't this exactly what he wanted to accomplish?

I don't condone or approve of any press manipulation for or against any interest group, but this seems to me like the press not rewarding terrorism with free advertising.

I woke up this morning and decided I wanted to sift the Vandals. You're sifting music I love.. aww... can we be 16 year old cuties again? Being old sucks. I want to be 16. Rottenseed lives like 3 miles from where i was in San Diego. Almost everything i sift is from the 90's so I am pretty sure I am trying to take it there as well. That does sound exciting. I wish that I could go do that. I have to do some training Friday for my assistant. Taking pictures at a fire festival does sound exciting,but I am not sure I will be able to go. i will let you know if I can.

Happy Comment #14:

When I woke up this morning, she was gone, and my wallet was still on my bedside table!

I have read of similar characteristics being evolutionarily viable (in-group loyalty, altruism, taste aversion). I am accusing him of pseudo-science because even if there was some sort of link between genetic programming and political affiliation his scientific methods are juvenile at best, and he is making conclusions based off his own prejudice rather than from the actual data.

I'm no psychologist, sociologist or anthropologist, and while those branches of science do take a lot of flak from proponents of the "harder" sciences, you have to keep in mind that we're at the infantile/alchemical stage of study there. We know so little about the mechanics of the human mind, so to study behavioral patterns, you pretty much have to do this kind of study by survey.

I think again, you're trying to take this video and assume that this is all the documentation he has for his theory, and that he just woke up that morning and stumbled onto the auditorium, with no credentials for being there.

You're a fan of telling people to go read books -- go read some of his.

I woke up this morning, log on to see how many views have been recorded on YouTube for the postsecret video and found this site and blog- reading that the video made you cry made my day- this is a moving project and a true labor of love. I look forward to posting on this site in the future.

Didja ever notice how the 'man is destroying the earf' crowd can not and does not answer why the earf warmed up 12,000 years ago??? I am certain there were very few factories and cars back then.

Hmmmm... with the electric and hybrid cars
they never tell how much pollution is created by the electricity (40% of USA power is coal) they use, or in the case of the hybrid how much additional pollution was created to make all the fancy new technology.

Just thought you'd like to be more informed and not fooled by those with an agenda to destroy Western Civilization.

These junk-sci hucksters want world socialist government with them in charge. They are jealous of freedom (AMERICAN freedom) that works to provide more for everyone than any other thing.

(You are now better informed than when you woke up this morning).

"Woke up this morning and my tongue was gone...sucked on some lemons, to kill the pain, ...dreamed of a girl, with a toothless grin... "....This song rocks, dude!!!

I saw it after I woke up this morning. LOL. I wasn't awake.

“It's all right. I thought, maybe, that rolling clouds frightened ants or something. Either that or you had completely gone off your rocker.

A3 - Woke Up This Morning ... The Sopranos Theme Song.

I'm so there! I woke up this morning thinking about how good the last Die Hard movie was, and the fact it's been eleven years since it came out. I think the trailer shows some good action and filming and Bruce being Bruce. That's all I need from a Die Hard trailer.
