...isn’t supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just another day."-Barbara Sher
Something for all of us to remember next time we are having a bad day.
URLesque came out with the top 100 Most Iconic Internet Videos. They accompany each video with a background story which is really cool if you have about 3+ hours to watch and read each one. So If you'd like to waste a whole bunch of time here is the list. Enjoy
"We want to reunite people with their memories, not profit off of people's memories"
Have you ever lost your camera and been more upset that you lost those memories than about the expensive camera they were taken in? Have you ever found someone's camera, memory stick or film and wondered how you could ever possibly get them back? Well Cavy tweeted about this great blog where someone is connecting orphan pictures with their rightful homes.
Found Cameras and Orphan Pictures is an amazing blog that posts every Thursday with a new collection of lost photos. They even broke it down to where the photos were found to make it easier for the owner to track down theirs.
So did you find a lost camera or memory card? Email at least four photos from your found camera and include any other details, time, location, school, etc. It's that easy to save someone's heartache!
So what happens when someone starts winning the race for freedom? You knock 'em down with bs and scare tactics. Sadly for them, since no real actors are giant douchebags, they had to use these bottom of the barrel actors.
LOOK AT THOSE SCARY CLOUDS! THE GAYS ARE COMING! THE GAYS ARE COMING!
That was fantastic. I got to play a full half which seemed to go by like a blink of an eye. I think for my first match and just knowing the basics of the game I did pretty well. I didn't do much but I had a big tackle that made my day. We won our first match and tied our second so not to bad. Maybe next match I'll bring some sun screen cause I got pretty burnt up.
Rugby is a great game, but it's tough as hell. But for someone that's played both American Football and Rugby, I have to say that... It's like comparing a Pit bull and a Rottweiler, they are both very tough and but be tougher in different ways. What I mean is that one isn't better or tougher than the other they are just to different and both very awesome.
So I made the decision to play rugby with a friend of mine. I have been to 2 practices and feel like I'm going to die. My body aches and I have mysterious bruises on my back. I'm terrified about my first match on Saturday because I have no freaking idea what the hell I'm doing. All that said, I love every bit of it.
This is a dirty sport. A balls out, beat 'em down, bloody sport. Nothing makes sense as to why it's done the way it is. The rucks, scrums, mauls, line-outs, drop kicks none of it. Whoever came up with some of these things must have been drunk all the time, in which case it makes perfect sense.
I'm hoping I can recover from this practice fast enough for tomorrow's match. Funny thing is I thought the Tuesday's practice was hard, yesterday's was incredibly worse. All this ass busting we do in practice will help me get fit and loose the weight that I've been trying to for a while. Also there's no way I can smoke and do all this running either, so that's another bonus.
I'll let y'all know how the match goes on Saturday. If your interested/bored and want to join us, the matches are versus UIC and Lewis at 12:15 at:
Lewis University One University Parkway Romeoville, IL 60446-2200
Turn Left into campus, and then go straight. This road will wind to the right and when you get to the soccer field, turn left into that parking lot When you reach the end of the lot turn left, and the pitch will be on your right side with a wooden fence around it.
