Light of Day - Tommy Stinson

I downloaded the Californication soundtrack. I’m so in love with Hank Moody I’ve almost finished all three seasons this week. I miss Ashby. Also, Becca is smarter than me. Damn her.

Today, i heard a story on the news about how a woman performed CPR, on her husband, by staying in tune to the beat of ‘staying alive’ by the beegee’s (it has has 103 beats per minute, a perfect number to maintain the best rhythm for CPR). I enjoyed the irony. MLIA

I was just thinking about this quote. Every person is constructed by others, not just most people. The way to stand out is to choose the right reference material. elephantinthepicture: (via thechocolatebrigade)

Normal looking Ruppy

Normal looking Ruppy

Ruppy of my nightmares

Ruppy of my nightmares

I know I’m supposed to be studying right now … but holy shit! Ruppy is a fucking glowing dog. Scientists mixed a beagle egg with the fluorescent gene from a sea anenome, which resulted in a puppy that glows red.

"Cows that have names make, in a given year, about 258 liters more milk per farm than anonymous ones — a bump of about 6 percent."

The Counterfeit Self

Designer knockoffs are meant to fool others into thinking that you’ve invested more money into your appearance than you actually have. It seems like a good idea if you can pay less for the same product. However, Francesca Gino, Michael Norton and Dan Ariely conclude that there are psychological ramifications for choosing knockoffs over the real thing. People who wear knockoffs are more likely to transfer the fake attitude to other aspects of their lives. “As Gino puts it, ‘When one feels like a fake, he or she is likely to behave like a fake.’ “

brokenenglish: In the forests and remote islands around Seattle, police are setting traps for a barefoot teenage outlaw who has eluded them for nearly two years. Police say 18-year-old Colton Harris-Moore, whose escapades are turning him into a folk legend, is a one-man crime wave, responsible for 50 burglaries as well as stealing light aircraft, which he taught himself to fly from video games, and several speedboats. He lives in the woods, shuns shoes and catches his own food. His only technological aid is a pair of thermal-imaging goggles to hunt at night and his weakness is pizzas, which he asks to be delivered at the edge of the woods. For some Harris-Moore is a modern Butch Cassidy: a surprisingly agile 6ft 5in cat burglar who thanks his victims by leaving them notes and cheeky photographs of himself, which have sold for £300 on eBay. Thousands subscribe to his Facebook page and his image appears on T-shirts with the logo “Fly, Colton, Fly!”. Local rock groups have penned songs about him. Hollywood producers have lodged lucrative film deals with his family and offered to pay for lawyers if he gives himself up. Raised in a caravan on Camano Island, an isolated community in the Puget Sound, Harris-Moore started living wild at the age of seven. He would break into holiday homes, steal blankets and food and vanish into the woods for days. In April 2008, after being sent to a juvenile detention centre, he complained that the beds were too short for his lanky frame and went on the run. Police believe he fled to Canada and then, a few weeks ago, came back across the border to Idaho where he stole a Cessna 182 and flew to Seattle. He crash-landed in a forest clearing and walked away with cuts and bruises. Since then he has been accused of stealing other planes for hops around the islands in the Puget Sound, including another Cessna belonging to a disc jockey who vented his frustration on radio, saying: “He still doesn’t know how to land a plane in one piece.” He evaded a police pursuit by crashing a Mercedes-Benz into a roadside gas storage tank, using the explosion as a diversion to escape back into the woods where, he says, he feels like a Native American. This was followed by the largest manhunt in recent memory. Three dozen sheriffs, aided by specialist armed units and an FBI helicopter, fanned out across Camano Island but failed to capture him. “We saw him, we think, but it’s like he disappeared in front of our eyes,” said one sheriff. His luck may be about to run out. During a recent sweep a rifle shot was fired at police, raising his status to “armed and dangerous”. His mother, Pamela Kohler, now fears that even if he did not fire the shot he will be held responsible. Kohler said she was proud her son had stolen the aircraft because he had never had a flying lesson in his life. “I was going to send him to flight school, but I guess I don’t have to,” she said. “I’d tell him the next time he took a plane: wear a parachute and practise your landing. “If he shot that gun, it was really stupid. I don’t expect him to come out of the woods alive.”

fuckyeahtattoos: The quote “and so the lion fell in love with the lamb” is from the book Twilight. I absolutely adore the series and think that the quote is timeless. I usually fall for more dominate men, and i’m more passive, so the quote relates to my life as well Team Edward, obviously.
