Well, hey...would you look at that?

Amid complaints about high taxes and calls for a smaller government, Americans paid their lowest level of taxes last year since Harry Truman’s presidency, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data found.
Some conservative political movements such as the “Tea Party” have criticized federal spending as being out of control. While spending is up, taxes have fallen...

Sometimes I have to wonder...
why I even bother with the women of my hometown.
Oh, yeah, that’s right, my sex drive has no fondness for locale. That, and girls make me stupid.

Man....
I was so excited for this jacket, too.
You guys don’t even know.
Dear USPS...
Fuck you.
Your tracking codes don’t really do any good if the item’s delivered to the wrong address, do they?
I’d be okay with this if it was just a piece of mail or a magazine or something….but this package requires a signature. How incompetent do you have to be to fuck up this kind of delivery?
Order a package
Proceed to think every truck-like sound you hear is your delivery.

So, I’m reblogging this mostly because this girl is gorgeous, and she’s got pretty fucking amazing tastes as well. She should probably be getting your love if she’s not already.

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
And who socks were you darning, poor darling
While I was away, away too long
I went away to see an old friend of mine
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind
She says “Jesus has a twin who don’t know nothing about sin”
She was half crazy and out of her mind
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted...
Why do none of my friends...
realize just how attractive Alexis Krauss is?

Back in my senior year of high school...
I wrote this short story about a man who woke up in a unfamiliar hotel room, nondescript in every fashion except for the strong odor of stale mothballs and the constant buzzing of a television turned to static, with nothing but a Bible and a revolver in a shelf in the end table, with no windows and a door that just wouldn’t seem to unlock, and the occasional muffled voice coming the...

Can we all stop talking about dubstep now?
Part of me
wants to just hike out into the woods, pick a nice spot, build a modest cabin for myself…and just live there for a year.
Part of me knows this is pretty impractical, part of me knows I probably couldn’t do without electricity (and by extension, all of my music), but most of me is just depressed that such a course of action is no longer possible in our country, where free land is all...

What’s up with all this Pokebra™ nonsense lately?
I don’t want to think a Charizard is going to pop out of a cute girl’s chest if I end up getting lucky.
When did talking...
Suddenly become the codeword for “fucking?”
I mean, it might just be me, but sex isn’t always lingering in the back of my mind whenever I’m having a conversation. Well, actually, no, that’s not true; I’m a 23-year-old male, sex is on my mind pretty much constantly. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to do anything about it.

So, as a drastically underemployed college...
The subject of an education’s worth seems to be brought up quite frequently, and the common belief seems to be that if an education doesn’t increase your social status and your fiances, ultimately it’s a waste of time, effort and money.
And that has to be the stupidest, most short-sighted statement I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. Has our society devolved to...
