“If I Had A Gun…” by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
Let me fly you to the moon
My eyes have always followed you around the room
‘Cause you’re the only god that I will ever need
I’m holding on and waiting for the moment to find me
Matt & I’s new desire? To own the Breville One-Touch Tea Maker.

Matt left today
I am full of tears
I have been eyeing this “All Out Of” grocery pad by Knock Knock for YEARS and finally bought it. I then taped a magnet to my pen so the pad is even more useful.
It’s sad how excited I am about this
Reason #384 Amanda is my best friend: she just gets it
San Diego in January…a cold 73 degrees (Taken with instagram)
Ahh memories…
As I was reading old posts on the Facebook timeline from freshman year of college, I could basically smell the stench of Captain Morgan and Pepsi
We will never forget
Whenever I can’t find a bobby pin in my bowl full of hair ties & clips, I just start looking on the floor. I’m bound to find one there.

How Does China Enforce Its One-Baby Policy?
Beijing makes an exception for couples where the husband’s brother is infertile and does not adopt a child and both husbands have rural residence permits. In Fujian a couple can have a second kid if the provincial population density is less than 50 people per .38 square miles, or one person per 11 acres at the time, or if each spouse farms at least an acre and a half of land.
Really interesting stuff

Everything science gives us immediately becomes normative. To an eighty-year-old man, a computer is this amazing device that creates instantaneous access to limitless information. He can’t get his head around it. But to a twenty-year-old man, the computer is a limited machine that costs too much and always needs to be faster. Because human live finite lives, all technological advances immediately feel banal to whatever generation inherits their benefits. Any advance can be appreciated only by the handful of people who happen to exist within the same time period of that specific technology’s introduction. You follow my meaning? Those are the only people who notice the difference. To a seven-year-old, a computer doesn’t even qualify as technology. It’s like a crowbar. Everything magical is temporary. So the idea that science makes our life ‘better’ is kind of an ephemeral illusion. Take vulcanization, for example. That’s a manifestation of science that seems to improve everything about modernity. Right? Of course it is. We wouldn’t drive without it, or at least not the way we drive now. But if vulcanization wasn’t possible, would we miss it? No. Of course not. We wouldn’t miss it at all. We’d find a way around it, or we’d effortlessly live without it. We wouldn’t even have the capacity to miss it. Vulcanization seems to make life better only because we already know it exists. We wouldn’t miss rubber tires if they had never been invented, in the same way we don’t miss cows that taste like lobster or shoes made out of glass or sexual time machines or anything else that science can’t create. Over time, the net benefit of technology is always going to be zero. Children born into Amish communities don’t miss TV until they discover such contraptions exist, right? There’s just no real evidence that proves people in the fifteenth century were less happy than people are now, just as there’s no reason to think people in the twenty-fifth century will have happier, better lives than you or me. This is a strange notion to accept, but it’s true. And once I accepted that truth, it forced me to reevaluate everything I did as an intellectual.
Y__, The Visible Man by Chuck Klosterman.
Klosterman does it again. He continues to blow me away with his thoughts and writings. If you need a new, intriguing, quick (because you can’t put it down) book to read, pick up The Visible Man.
