Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
— Marcus Valerius Martialis
This speaks for itself. Our presidential election in a nutshell!
So I am going on my little bros senior prom tonight because some girls date bailed at the last minute. The fact that I am 20 and going on prom with an 18 year old girl is perfectly fine. But for some reason I am a little nervous. (I don’t like this feeling). I have been through this before right? (my prom wasn’t bad at all) so why should this prom be different? For starters I have never meet the girl a day in my life, the most interaction we have had is sending a few texts two days ago and I looked at her profile pic on facebook. The make things more awkward I come in only knowing 10 people (max). My only comfort is looking in the mirror and seeing how sharp I look in a suit and then I remember how charming and James Bond like I am. Then I am not afraid and I am ready to take on the world (or at least a room full of well dressed precollege teens.) CIAO
Like most generalizations there lies some truth to this statement. But I am extremely tired and want to go to sleep so my blog on this is hereby postponed until tomorrow (hopefully)
this made me tear </3
This makes me cry every time. Could you imagine building your entire life with someone in such a way that their success and failure, happiness and sorrow become your burdens, hopes, joys and pain. This is marriage. The most touching part is midway through the video when they are cleaning windows. Discovering their partner on the other side of the glass immediately transfers pure joy, a simple admiring smile says I love you. The connection between them is sincere, true love. I can only pray that I experience that for even a moment in my life.
The spoilers were officially released from 1997 through 2007 in the form of these nifty things:
Gentlemen, you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I HAVE A FULL PROOF METHOD FOR CONTROLLING YOUR BLACK SLAVES. I guarantee every one of you that, if installed…
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
I memerizd this in the 11th grade and still remember and recite it whenever I get the chance.
