The Wuba Wuba of the Day: A Skrillex bass drop catches Kramer off-guard.
[hyst.]
This is beyond fucking perfect.
I was planning on pacing myself with this series so that I wouldn’t be stuck waiting several years for the first movie to come out as I was with the Twilight saga. I figured if I read one book every month until March, I’d be all caught up by the release date, but I just can’t help it anymore. Tomorrow, I am going to buy Catching Fire and keep reading because I just can’t help but wonder what Katniss is up to….
Ah, it feels good to be back to my normal self.

for me has been long nights of obsessing over finding “healthy” foods to eat and exercise regimes but for some reason, I can’t bring myself to actually do any of them. It’s not exactly that I lack will power or anything like that. I feel like it might just be that I’m not as uncomfortable with myself as I probably should be, but is that such a bad thing? Sure, my ass and thighs are huge and its a bitch to find jeans that fit in all of the right places but it could be worse. I don’t consider myself to be terribly unhealthy; I love fruits and vegetables just as much (if not more) as I like sweets. I can exercise for an hour without feeling like I want to die (this may not seem like much, but if you saw the endurance or lack thereof some of my skinny friends have….it rules). Sometimes I feel like the reason I can’t do this is because I don’t want to. That I’m only making these changes because I feel like I have to, or else I’ll never be happy in this society.
Maybe instead of spending my time trying to change myself, I need to spend more time learning to love myself. Maybe this way, everything I’ve been waiting for will fall right into place.
We live in a world where brokenness is a reality, not a possibility. TWLOHA began as a response to that reality, as a way to confront a certain brokenness head on regarding mental health—specifically depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. We have learned that most people don’t talk about these things. There are thousands of people, people with faces and families and stories, who never get the help they need because they feel there isn’t a space to talk about their pain. TWLOHA is an attempt to create that space.
Starting today, we join twenty-four other charities in Round 1 of the American Giving Awards presented by Chase, a voting contest on Facebook to honor the past winners of Chase Community Giving. Voting ends next Wednesday, October 5 at 12 p.m. EST. We hope you will join us by liking the American Giving Awards presented by Chase Facebook page, voting for TWLOHA, and then asking everyone on the planet to do the same : )
We often talk about TWLOHA as a bridge to help. Taking the first step to talk to a friend about something painful is scary, as is packing a suitcase to go to a treatment center for the first or fifth time. We exist as a safe passage offering hope and encouragement along the way. Winning the American Giving Award will allow us to strengthen that bridge, to take our message of hope and help on the road to more places and in more creative ways than we’ve ever been able to do before, such as:
— Investing in building an interactive platform that will allow people to contribute directly to treatment and recovery in their local community.
— Providing more widespread counseling scholarships for people with little or no insurance, alleviating the stress of a financial burden that often accompanies treatment and recovery options.
— Expanding our vision by taking HEAVY AND LIGHT - an evening of songs, conversation, and hope - on the road. There is a unique kind of community that happens when people gather in a room with songs and honest stories that resonate. Nights like this can change a perspective for people, and that shift could be the beginning of change or even a life saved.
— Strengthening the launch of our brand new high school campaign called The Storytellers, a way for high school students to bring the story of TWLOHA and message of hope to their own campus through organizing and engineering community events.
We’re honored to participate in this contest and excited to have the chance to work with Chase to carry out this vision. Thank you for being a part of it.
Please vote.
The result of boredom earlier this week, a cover I recorded of Bright Eyes “Land Locked Blues.”

We come from a world saturated with targets. We’re placed in it with our choice of firepower and an empty clip. Some of us fall into contentment with a lifestyle of shooting blanks. Some of us place ourselves into a lustful frenzy in hopes of acquiring our own artillery of character. There’s a…
