This is quite funny and it also made me feel like less of a loser.

‎Karma Yoga is the concept that when you serve the needs of the neediest, you are actually serving God.

Matthew 25.40 reads; "what you do for the least of your brothers, you do for me."

In Hindu culture, bowing at another person's feet is a symbolic act of deep respect. It means you are indebted to them for some greatness they bestowed on you. Usually parents or gurus are prostrated to.

In Karma Yoga, the least of your brothers is actually God giving you an intimate opportunity to love and serve God directly.

I find this event beautiful for so many reasons.

Warren Buffet charities circles around Mutt Romney....

I honestly thought if Mutt Romney was elected, a neo-Dickensian hell would be unleashed on the country...

Then I saw Warren Buffett on the Daily Show. Lets look at the numbers here:

ROMNEY:

combined net worth = 250,000,000 dollars.
annual salary: not-disclosed.
average charitable donations: 14% (most in tithe to LDS)

WARREN BUFFET:
individual net worth: 46,000,000,000 dollars.
annual salary: $100,000 dollars. (thats low for a investment ceo)
Charitable donations: 45,000,000,000 (99% of all his income)

Long story made more lovely: WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. :)

I never ever worked the floor. I only went for the massive "new hire / new employee" training so i could videotape inside and get the paperwork thy give you. I didnt eve give walmart my social security card, i told em id bring it the second day of work but i had all the recon info info i needed so i um, cough, cough "quit" before my next and "real" shift.
Sorry to scare you [name withheld], i had to pretend i liked them long enough to make it through the interview process all the way the the first day of work training. And I DID IT! I gots some juicy stuff on em too! (and they STILL do not have my social security number so Im just a unverified name to them.... (woo hoo!)

so i guess I'm an INFP... neat!

Portrait of an INFP - Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving
(Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition)
The Idealist
As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.
INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.
Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.
INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.
INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".
When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet.
INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.
INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.
INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they don't need to use hard logic.
INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs.

if i get expelled any time soon, this will probably be why...

I have some serious issues with some comments made in class but felt addressing them in class would take away from valuable class time. 

The guy with the handlebar mustache has made some comments that have really gotten my ire. I made a comment in class last week about how i suggested from my experience that women break down crying more than men because of societal preassures and sexism. and under his breathe he loudly muttered; "yeah but how many women actaully THINK about sexism?" 

Wow. Are you serious? .78c to the dollar, sexism, um, everything we've learned in class so far? Saying something like that is like assuming most black people dont think about racism.... ignorant.

Then today it was one comment after another about how simple men are and how persuaded they are (manorexia) and that you have to make it really simple for men to ge it,,,

Dude, stfu. My boyfriend read EVERY book in his small town library before he was 12 years old. Just the other morning we were having a discussion on the defintion of an apologist. DO NOT put "most men" in your group of self-described imbeciles, its insulting to the women who you hope one day will find you attractive enough to date and marry. Seriously, how much respect could you have for your future wife if you think she's awesome for marrying your 'simple' ass? 

Like I said, I didnt want to take up class time with this but as God as my witness, handlebars needed to be schooled.

Forgot to Update Your Voter Registration? It's Not Too Late To Vote! Here's How...


If you're still registered at your old address:

Go to the Polling Place assigned to your old address. 

If you are not sure where it is you can go to your county's Registrar of Voters website.
There you should find info on how to look up your polling place.


If the Poll Worker says they cannot find your name on the Registrar: 

If you know you've voted in the last election, ask for a Provisional Ballot.
The poll worker cannot deny you a provisional ballot under any circumstances.


If you've voted by mail in the last election but have since moved:

Way to go idiot, you just gave whoever is living at your last address a EXTRA FREE VOTE.
Thank you for contributing to potential VOTER FRAUD by being a lazy, apathetic bastard.

You suck. (the rest of you are alright...)

HAPPY VOTING DAY!!!!

(and be thankful you're not in Mexico.)

I was born in the early evening
at a VA hospital that doesn't exist any more.
My birth certificate has an amendment 
because the nurse spelled my name wrong.

When I was 6 weeks old
I had a seizure.
My mother used to say
"that is why you are the way you are"
she also used to say that
her children gave her ulcers.

I was expelled in kindergarten
for not cutting a little girl's hair.
This was after i wet the bed
and my mother was reported to
child protective services.

By the age of six I had 3 therapists
and left school early 3 times a week
to go to group counseling
with a Tim who wanted to kill his parents
and burn the curtains.
and nicer kids
like Peter Aderholt
and Amber Raines
and her brother Eric 
and that dumb girl who
ratted us out for ditching therapy
we were only nine years old
and walked 4 miles in
only three hours
the perfect crime
that ended with CPS coming for my dad.
I was pissed.
I know what you are looking for
my forehead wrinkles are not saying
I'm lying
they are saying "I AM ANGRY".
you have the wrong parent.

my sixth grade teacher outed me to the class
I was wondering why everyone was
being so overly nice to me
when the day before they all hated me
that same teacher banned only me
from her end of the year pool party
at her house of all places.

I haven't a clue how i survived
other than my conviction
that i am worth every bit of me
and I am better than all these people
i just have to make it to adulthood.

happy Halloween bitches!

its halloween.
i had 2 midterms today.
i was dressed like a hologram
from Red Dwarf.
my cat is coming home so
i gotta buy a japanese cat jail.
im still pretty stressed.
i love bondage.
