I just got hit my a car!

hey andrew,

just now i was riding my bike down franklin, crossed into carrboro, and was chugging along when i see a big truck start to pull out. too late! i braked and swerved but the truck slammed into me, anyway. i got a little lucky, as the driver saw me in time to start to brake... so he didn't completely run me over. my back wheel was bent so they took me to back alley and got it fixed.

getting hit by a car is a completely jarring thing. i am still shaky from the experience. i think my ankle is sprained and my knees are sore, but it's not too bad.

so anyway, be careful on franlin/west main around performance bicycles. i think it's hard for cars to pull out around there.

Hagan's going to kick your ass!

It was def worth coming to grad school in North Carolina, just for the politics. I totally voted for this woman, like, two weeks ago. Look at her hot little mouth move around.



Her and Dole are almost exactly tied. According to some polls, she's a little ahead, and to others, she's a little behind. Y'all better get out and vote for her, tho, because otherwise she will kick yo ass (or Dole's. I would.)

Remember to vote in North Carolina

Palin v. Science

According to the Huffington Post, in a speech regarding autism, Sarah Palin slams recent studies regarding the presence of the protein, neurexin, as essential for neurological function (an important discovery with respect to curing/treating autism). If you click the link, you can read all about it and watch the clip. So, WTF? Is she stupid, or does she just hate science? Watch out, "Oh-twelve," we're in for a wild ride.

P.S.

This week's episode of californication is hilarious, by the way. Moreso than usual. You can watch it here http://tvshack.net/tv_shows/Californication/season_2/episode_6/

Joe Biden Fields Ridiculous Questions

I hate the way that this clip is edited, but I guess you can really focus on the bizarre questions that Barbara West is asking our future vice president. Clip below.



Do I even need to write anything about this? It is really silly to indicate that an administration under Obama would be socialist or communist. Our current economic system is more than a far stone's throw away from the slightly socialist governments of Europe. Also, this "quote" from Obama regarding Joe the Plumber is a misquote. I can't believe that this was on TV. Also, I think it's funny how concerned Biden looks at the end.

Just to remind you, here is the full clip of Obama's conversation with Joe the Plumber:



And Obama actually shouts back at the end that Joe's taxes might go down under his plan! So does this make Obama a commie?

buck rogers is too shy to comment, so he gets his own post.

The moral to this story is that if you want to compare me to Monica Lewinsky, you are mistaken.

And look at my native american earring, and my cheap coat, and the ring i got out of a cracker jack box...

This is from later on at the rally. Nice cover up, Sarah. I'm surprised that you didn't come walking onto stage wearing a $300 burlap sack.

Also, does she mention her Native American earrings to make us think that she is wearing something special and sentimental? Are we going to fall for it, or is it too tacky?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck WTF

will somebody please tell me what "honor killing" has to do with sarah palin? also, she wants to ban abortion to save our "unborn daughters?" and why does hasselbeck keep making references to cleaning and being a house wife wrt sarah palin? this new strain of republican feminism is hella ridiculous. palin is just making up positions on issues that sound feminist-y. deceptively feminist. am i afraid? no way. you would have to be completely stupid to actually believe that her ill-concieved ideas are pro-women, and i would like to give the american public more credit than that.

putchie, the repressed groupie

i drove out to the res to meet s at the pow wow. he has gained some fame recently for acting in a film that will be coming out soon. he was invited out there to read some of his poems. he was my first boyfriend ever, from back when i was 12. i had such a huge crush on him back then. i remember feeling so shy that i couldn't move very easily when he was around, let alone talk. i liked s a lot but by the end of eighth grade had decided that i liked his best friend better, and that's how we left it. we haven't really talked since then.

where am i going with this. i guess i just want to say that i am still glowing from our encounter. i think i broke through the fame-shell and got to the real s, the s i used to know... except, an adult now. a really intelligent, attractive, friendly adult who i wish i could spend more time with.

buck angel is my hero

i felt the need to post this for a few reasons. 1. jezebel hasn't posted any good saturday morning fodder yet 2. i wish i could be a gay guy, just like buck. 3. it seemed like the second thing i should post to this blog. sets the tone, if you will.

i think the best thing about this video is how flushed jenson is at the end. he doesn't want to like it, but you can tell he's so turned on...

was fucking in the backyard a bad idea?

hey kids. i just woke up. it's 11 am and man, i have some odd memories from the night before. the mixture of tequila and beer after beer after beer is pretty much making me feel. well, i don't think there is a comparison i can put here that isn't overused already. but to quote the silver jews, "i'm like a rabbit freezing on a star."

now comes the guilty feeling where i mourn the idiocies. it was a great party, really it was... lots of cool people, my best friend b, some people from my department, and we were all having a great time. then came the nudity. i was dancing around topless with my friends when all the sudden there's a strong hand going down the front of my pants. i'm a sucker for those. the next thing we know, we're in the yard fucking like dogs. all i remember is the queefing. what even causes that, when you're just doin it doggie style? it's the guy's fault, right? well, i figured out later in the night that he was gay, so i think he was doing it undeliberately and probably fantasizing about someone else. not taking the initiative to fuck me doggie style, you know. so there was queefing.

of course we got walked in on by a troupe of nakeds, and the fucking ended. but they all had, in that moment, created a monster. this is the part of the night that i really regret- getting into over-sex mode. because i just walked around this party half-cocked and ready to go. i grabbed the next boy that i had been flirting with and we also made out in the backyard. then i went inside and began groping every girl that crossed my path. i think this was where i went wrong. luckily, no one got offended and slapped me, but i definitely didn't get any. so i rode home, and as i was leaving there was a croud of boys complaining that i wasn't taking them home. sorry, but that party is going to stay at the party.
