Everything from the music to the video - beautiful slow motion video!

If Dell put this much thinking into their products maybe they’d have a larger market cap and value.

Biasness aside… I’ll admit this is quite smart. Solar panels that keep cars cool yet harnesses all that hot summer heat. Go smart design.

Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn’t want her daddy to go to Iraq.

So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn’t let go.

No one had the heart to pull her away.

Today while I was walking to class, I noticed a car with a license plate that said “BAH HUM.” I was amused, but didn’t really get it. I suddenly realized and turned around to look at the car. Sure enough, it was a VW Beetle. Bah hum bug. It made my day. MLIA

MLIA is terribly addictive.

Isn’t this dress shirt-sweater combo totally killer?

Today, the kid I sponsored for the Make-A-Wish foundation sadly passed away without getting his wish fulfilled. One of his mini wishes was for his name to be posted on MLIA. Rest in peace, Jacob Andrew Motz. MLIA

Another reason why MLIA is better.

Today, a girl in my class had a sore throat and wasn’t allowed to talk. Instead, the teacher made her cards with common responses. The cards (all thought of and written by our English teacher)read: Yes, No, Maybe, and That’s What She Said. MLIA

I never wanted to agree with my friends - but I gotta.

Now testing: “Read More” breaks

Inserting a break will truncate your post so readers need to click “Read More” to view it in its entirety.

Themes can even style them using the new {block:More} tag!

{block:More}
    <a href="{Permalink}" class="big_ass_button">Read More</a>
{/block:More}

You can add a break with the plain text and Markdown editors with the simple tag: <!-- more -->

These are only available in Text Posts at the moment.

I don't even bother doing that.

Today, I realized that I lie to my friends online and go “offline” for hours at a time so it appears that I have a life outside of the internet. FML

I thought I was in love with Audis. Turns out Asians love them too! Enough to make LED eyelashes! Lady Gaga should be all over this.

How you know you're spending too much time at Starbucks (Apart from the fact that you know the baristas on a first name basis - and vice versa)

-- yesterday --
Me:
All right, I'm gonna go home.
Barista:
Okay, see you tomorrow
Me:
*thinking* Never said I'll be back
-- today --
Me:
Hey, Liz, Ali, Priscilla
Barista:
Hey, you're late
Me:
*thinking* I really gotta get outta this obsession.

Certainly Conrad had a problem with niggers. His inordinate love of that word itself should be of interest to psychoanalysts. Sometimes his fixation on blackness is equally interesting as when he gives us this brief description:

A black figure stood up, strode on long black legs, waving long black arms…

as though we might expect a black figure striding along on black legs to wave white arms!
