Hopefully Unrelated Articles

I'm sorry to tell you this, Yahoo, but it seems like you're about five years too late on this whole made-up "facts" about macho star Chuck Norris. Jesus Christ, you think they would have gotten the memo by this point that Norris doesn't sleep, he waits and he can slam a revolving door and he can and he does and he is.... Bah!
Understandably, Yahoo sometimes has slow news nights and periods of hungover interns where all they do is reach into a bin titled "useless bullshit no one will ever pay attention to." But DAMN, at least go with something a little less overblown. Maybe some lighthearted evolution debates or another "Where's Obama's blackberry today?"
Get your shit together, Yahoo.
Also, you see that tidbit there at the bottom? Shooting spree in Alabama leaves 10 dead. That's heavy stuff South Alabama's dealing with. It's near Dothan, Alabama - if anyone is familiar.
There's just too much anger everywhere.
If I ever win Miss America, I'll use my one-wish-power to grant World Peace.

"A Collection Of Semen-Based Recipes"
Etsy On My Hand
After great debate and some wacky need for money, I've decided to venture down the path of Etsy. It's been a fantastic site to shop around on for one of a kind knitted Owl shoe hats (or some shit like that). But now I must whore out my talent. For some time now I've been putting together shadow boxes and collages (I've made a few at the request of family members), so I thought why not try to make some money from it.
I don't even know if I could make money at it; I don't know who would buy such overpriced things. But I'm attempting it, at least!
Here's some work I've done thus far.

I called this one Songbird Shadowbox. It might be my favorite so far, if only for the little birds. You can't tell from the picture, but I went to great lengths for those birds to be out dangling from a wire, LIVE BIRD ACTION!
Damn, it took me forever, too. It does look better in person (good thing I'm trying to sell it by the picture alone, psh). I love the little doll house mirrors that I found; I also may or may not have bought a tiny rocking chair. It makes me happy on the inside of everywhere.

And here's another that I just recently listed. I didn't know what the hell to call it, or even what the hell it is, so I went with "Modern Nature Shadow Box." Largest load of bullshit I've shoveled out in a long while.
I was at a loss for a description for this. It's simple, yet it's annoyingly junky. It's business dressy, yet it's eat a sandwich in the woods. It's organized and easy, yet it's hey look, beer pong. It's.. ..... ... I'm all out of explanations.
I also am at a loss for showing these in my photos. If anyone is good at "Ebay Photogging", please let me know what the hell I'm doing wrong.
Sincerely!

The Hedgehog's Dilemma
I really want to take a minute out of our night of Daiquiris and the innumerable amount of rented movies (Repo!, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Choke, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and another god awful Larping documentary) to tell a story close to my heart.
For years, I have bundled all of my attributes, my faults, and my self-understanding unknowingly into one philosophical analogy of the struggle for human intimacy.
Absolutely fantastic.
This analogy is commonly referred to as The Hedgehog’s Dilemma. I don’t know if my slightly creepy respect and appreciation for Hedgehogs came because I found out that I share their dilemma or if the issues followed the animal preference. Perhaps the two are mutually exclusive, which only makes it more effortless for me to believe my spirit animal is floating above me, munching on a yummy carrot.
We all know Hedgehogs have the intimate issue of having thorns for skin. Their prickly quills begrudgingly control the distance they must maintain in order to safely stay within reach of their companions. To only make matters worse for these defense driven creatures, in the wild they live in multiple family groups because, as protective as their quills are, they don’t provide much warmth or a thick coating of hair. In the winter, Hedgehogs are forced to huddle together for heat, so let’s just take a quick look at the logical math there.
Thousands of sharp ass quills + tightly packed Hedgehog space + delicate underbellies and eyeballs = a still slightly adorable and horrifying Hedgehogshabob.
And the analogy of human intimacy? In order for Humans to live comfortably in their lives, relationships and closeness is an important veracity. Although, just like the sharp barbs of a Hedgehog, some can’t help but hurt others or themselves in the process of getting close. The desire and the passion is there to grow in proximity, but the error of character lashes out to anyone in range.
Almost anyone who knows me well can begin to see the similarities in my character and the Hedgehog’s Dilemma. It’s not that I have an outright problem with intimacy. It’s not even the typical intimate situations where I tend to be a poker (pun completely intended for the continuity of the childlike humor I possess).
There are a select few in my life who are stubbornly excellent at being my friends and I am so lucky to have those people to keep coming back to me after three weeks of ignored phone calls. I send nearly all of my calls to voicemail, I say I'm going to call (never do and then avoid their calls), and I back out of plans barely an hour before I'm supposed to be there. I don’t know why they continue even trying to be my friend, but I’m so happy they do, since I’m so incapable of that type of dedication.
I’m not just saying all of this to describe the many ways I can be the worst friend to have, but I’m saying it to possibly explain why I’m the worst friend to have. And then maybe you can begin to understand what Freud calls The Menda Dilemma (too bad that doesn’t rhyme as well as Agenda does).
Hedgehogs are fragile animals with sharp skin (I don’t know of a better way to describe myself than that). I can’t protect my delicate heart without breaking another. I’m sorry to everyone that has ever crossed my quills at some time or another.
So, to finish off my Hedgehog speech, I’m looking to get a small Hedgehog tattoo on my right foot. I haven’t found the exact pattern I want yet, although my preference is still very broad, from either a simple symbol to another full-blown adorable sketch.

This one is pretty amazing and draws again on the complete and miserable irony of a Hedgehog with a balloon. I would like to find someone who could help change the eyes a bit, to convey more of a hopeful feeling to that last balloon, instead of the sleep deprived new dad appearance. He looks like he wants to choke and die, and that's not really where the hope and faith in my spirit animal should lie.
HOPEFULLY, I'll find someone who can change this around for me sometime soon and I can get to inking.
I'll leave you now with my personal Hedgehog fortune:
Tread softly through a prickled soul.






But how much Jizz would it take to make flan? How does it store? Can a guy whack off enough in one night for the recipe?
"Alright, I went to the store for the sugar, we have everything else, here stud, fill up the cup"
Sick. I love flan but will now think of custard substitute until I can intoxicate this thought away.
If jizz tasted like flan or tiramisu, I'd be more apt to swallow and give more head.
Seriously, why can't boys ejaculate skittles or something?
@tiff - b/c if we could ejaculate skittles, we'd all stay home eating skittles all day.
and that would hurt the dickhole probably.
That was an overheard for the ages.
I mean seriously:
Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food.
AVAILABLE IN MANY, IF NOT MOST, HOMES AND RESTAURANTS.
That's hilarious shit right there, man.
What RESTAURANTS SERVE JIZZ? I want to avoid those completely. That's GOTTA be a health code violation.
@Skanko - Well, their goal is to NOT tell you that. :D
well there goes getting Fettucini Alfredo for dinner tonight.
