Eden Prairie, MN

i used to live and work in EP.  redstone is notorious for the cougars.  every time i was there, they were there too.  hot or cold weather.  rain or shine.

My buddy just turned down an offer from a 37 year old cougar to lick ice cream off her breasts.

Only in Minnesota!

Please tell me you’re at Redstone.  I’ve seen the cougars in that town - they’re vicious in the E.P.

Hahahaha we sure were at Redstone.  Phenomenal guess.  Seriously though, the copious amount of aggressive cougars was nothing short of unbelievable at a decent bar in an upper-middle class suburb of Minneapolis.

true, everybody speeds. i do. but here’s the problem i have with what happened to Sanford, or more specifically his driver. Because of his boss’ elevated status in the eyes of SC’s finest, the speeding ticket was waived. i guarantee that if i got caught speeding, my ticket wouldn’t be waived. this is really striking at the core of what is so prevalent in government today: corruption. it is the job of police to protect and serve. does letting this guy go without even so much as an effing warning protect anybody? not at all.

im sorry, news media, but who cares if sc governor mark sanford’s limo was pulled over for speeding?  sure hes crazy, and had an affair with an argentine woman, but everybody speeds.

this disc sculpture thingy in uptown used to spin around.  it’s locked down now because on windy days, pedestrians were getting knocked over and no doubt bruised.  this thing weighs a ton!  hope you enjoy working in uptown now.

I work in downtown charlotte now. In this building. Not in a cubicle, thank god.
From the very first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t’rough.
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line,
But the waitin’ feel is fine:
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string,
‘Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb;
I wanna know when you’re gonna come - soon.
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;

i saw this on my trip to LES back in February.  i think it&#8217;s awesome when two complete strangers find inspiration from the same source, but at different times, and it comes full circle when i find it on the interwebs.

wanderingtangent:

Maybe I’m bipolar. That crosses my mind often…

i see this waaaay too often in girls these days.  what is going on?  i spent two years dealing with a bipolar gf.  she never believed in therapy or meds.  she self-medicated with cocaine, pot and alcohol.  she never really seemed to want to actually get at the root of the problem (ie: behavior modification).  just like with a lot of things, changing something about yourself, something that can be so entrenched in your everyday behavior and thought patterns, is never, ever easy.  i know that.  but as somebody who has actually been down that path of self-transformation and succeeded (mostly), i know that it can be different.  it’s just too bad when i think of how many beautiful people out there truly have the potential to change but just cannot see it or find it in themselves.

some days are so brutal.

today was one of those days.  one thing after another.  i had to take a walk around the block at work to avoid losing it at work.  and on top of the work stress, i got a text from a friend saying that her dad (a second father to me) tried to overdose on pills.  sometimes, all i want is somebody to give me a hug.  somebody i can just put my head in their lap and not say anything.  somebody that will just give me a sense of comfort and connection.  i know i will meet that somebody soon.  until then, i just have to deal with days like today all by myself.
