Nice.
I would do this instead of taking cabs/walking because it’s nice out…except I’m in no shape to drive my car anywhere already.
December 2010
Well this craptacular game is certainly settling...
Maybe we pull it out, but 3.5 quarters and only 2 FGs against a Conference USA defense?
My new biggest regret of 2010 is that I thought UGA was going to be good (9-3 good, with the only losses against Arky, SCar, and Auburn) at the beginning of the year.
We kind of sucked. And even if we pull this one out of our ass at the end, I’m not wearing a red & black tie tonight. Purple or light...
No one likes a field goal
fuckyeahgeorgia:
But I hate how UGA fans boo our own team
It’s not booing the team, it’s booing the gutless decision to not try and make 4th and inches and go for a TD.

WatchOh, and why do I want a band again? Because I found video from one of my old band’s last shows and it’s reminding me how much I miss it.
This is the last 3 minutes of our last song, I’m in the white shirt and about 26 when this was taken (at the Georgia Theatre, on a Monday in the summer of 2006, well before the place burned down.)

Dead Soul Is a Debt Collector →
blissandzen:
Martha Kunkle has come back to life.
She died in 1995. Yet her signature later appeared on thousands of affidavits submitted by one of the nation’s largest debt collectors, Portfolio Recovery Associates Inc., in lawsuits filed against borrowers.
These are the banks the Republicans believe they were elected to serve.

I replied but per usual, didn’t actually answer the question. Jenn has been down here for around the same time frame. She joined a kickball league and has met some cool people that way. Rock climbing is a pretty guarantied way to meet people. It’s like 10 bucks for a few hours and usually everyone at rock climbing gyms are cool as shit in my...

I think guys grow horrible beards because they can’t have babies. It’s their only way to be all “Look! I can produce stuff!”
I can’t even grow a horrible beard…in this metaphor does that make me impotent, or merely cursed (or, some might say, blessed) with lethargic seed?
Hey Atlanta Folks:
rhymeswithjulie:
So I have been in Atlanta for 4 months. I have made one or two new friends, mostly people I know at school. I very rarely “hang out” with anyone.
To be frank, I find it a little bit lonely. I also think it would be a healthy way to whisk away the winter by meeting some new folks!
Anyone know any good places/activities to meet late 20s/early 30s folks?
(And NO, I do not mean...

(meaning looking at my bookshelves and trying to remember what I checked out — and actually read — from the library this year) I’ve read or re-read* at least 34 books this year.

mizjenkins:2010 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? Took a 26-hour vacation where I flew to a city and back in barely a day’s time.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I wanted to eat healthier. Given that I have to wear a belt to keep certain pairs of jeans that were once tight up,...

Here’s a partial list of some of the vestigial/useless organs found in humans today. These features are evidence that we did not descend from demigods nor are we the product of a perfect independent creation but rather, that we evolved from a long unbroken chain of species going back billions of years.
Our bodies are littered with parts we don’t need. Some are...
