It pisses me off when people continually harass you on the internet. I don’t want to see your penis, I don’t want to watch you jerk off and I sure as hell don’t want to show you squat. I can’t even have a normal conversation because I’m getting spammed with nasty, vulgar, perverted ass instant messages. It’s a damn college chat, not a sex chat. Go back to your fucking country, quit being disgusting and quit trying to get pussy via internet.

Put on Blast! Haha, This is what happens when “NO Game Spittin” men get ahold of technology. Lawl moment.

Hey ‘Me’, you’re not alone. Millions of young Americans feel the same way: we’ve worked hard, many of us even took out loans to go to school, and we’re ready & willing to work. And yet, so many of us are unemployed or underemployed — neither of which pays the bills or let’s us pay back into our system as taxpayers to help others! It’s time for our generation to call for a change!!
magenta-juice:

Never thought of it that way.  


Ths is something to look forward too #NOTabout2complain.

Polar bear does a handstand. You’re welcome.

"The annual destruction of the Amazon rainforest is tallied every August and announced to a world sadly accustomed to the idea that its greatest tropical forest is being wiped off the face of the Earth. Invariably, the area of destruction is so large that the loss is expressed in terms of states or countries—a Vermont here, an Ireland there—roughly equivalent measures meant to make the scale of the catastrophe more readily apprehensible, as if all of us could say, for example, that this many Connecticuts make a Texas or that there are so many Switzerlands to a France. Oddly, the effect of the news seemed to be a lulling of concern, as if the Amazon could go on disappearing indefinitely, without ever actually doing so."

Titanic Survivors: A Breakdown by Class

thepoliticalnotebook:

  • First Class Passengers: 63% survived (200 out of 319 lived).
  • Second Class Passengers: 43% survived (117 out of 269 lived).
  • Third Class Passengers: 25% survived (172 out of 699 lived).

Any death, regardless of class, is a horrible and tragic thing, but on the anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking it’s important to remember one of the things that night symbolizes: that, even in moments of terrible crisis and great collective peril, we remain divided and valued by the ticket we can afford.

"A soft answer turns away wrath , but a harsh word stirs up anger."

- proverbs15:1

www.ted.com/talks/alexander_tsiaras_conception_to_birth_visualized.html

Man are mechanisms who create advance technology , but the marvel of magic that concots life is beyond mans power. Day 25 , and a heart chamber is composing. Do not be mistaken ; life is absolutley beautiful , keep your options available if seeking termination. 

Wash it Away.

Choose to be grateful even when your emotions and feelings are still steeped in hurt and resentment. Be grateful when criticized, even if your heart responds in bitterness. Choose to speak about goodness and beauty, even if your inner eye still looks for someone to accuse or something to call ugly. How many occasions present themselves in which gratitude is taken for granted. Instead of a complaint CHOOSE to be liable.

Our intentions;

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. we are in charge of our Attitudes.” —-Attitude by Charles Swindoll 

Self-control is attainable ; we often forget our words can affect the outcome of others. Even when theres that melancholy, malice, or mirthy spirit lerking in your peace , searching for the easiest conclusion is lazy. Lightening your heart before tainting others.
