I wonder what car he was driving

Don't really see where I said I think we should put up with crap from family just because they are family. Pretty strange how what's been said can be interpreted as such. And even if I did explicitly state that, it's not like I'm the one writing the new bible so what does it matter how I'd judge your ideas of whats good or bad? If you are secure in your justifications for doing something, then have some composure and carry on, no need to give us your family history to defend yourself, which brings up an interesting observation. It seems everyone here are all hopeless victims of asshole-dom clearly with no hint of introspection offered. On this topic or any other topic mentioned actually. You know what else I find disconcerting? That. You know what else I also value? People who are not so prone to point the hard finger and maybe admit that we've all likely wronged people in ways others may not be happy with us. Not referencing anything specifically mentioned of course but it just seems like 99% of issues are always the other persons fault. Kinda interesting to think about. I have a cousin who I have mixed feelings about who doesn't really talk to me anymore. I can come up with a million reasons how she's a total bitch who I would do fine not taking to ever again but I'm going to not think that way because I don't think I did my due diligence on keeping things better between us and maybe if I had, she wouldn't be so distant and bitchy. *shrug*

Maybe I wasn't being clear what I was trying to say. I was essentially referring to the fact that I don't understand many of the dysfunctional family dynamics I've seen around me. And I don't understand why people would mistreat their own family member so poorly to cause these angry separations. Unless there are obvious sociopaths, total assholes or something like that around, I guess I don't see what is so difficult about at least making peace, even if it's just for the sake of keeping peace. I had a friend back in high school who had a sister I knew pretty well too. Totally dysfunctional family. The sister didn't speak with their parents not because they were sociopaths but because she didn't agree with some of their stuff and my friend didnt really talk to her sister either out of a personality difference. Both of them can give you dissertations on all the reason to justify them having essentially separated themselves from their family. It's ridiculous. I had a friend in college, he had this horrible resentment towards his dad who he thinks is a psycho for petty reasons but I've been around the guy and he's just like any other dad who has good intentions, maybe just slightly misplaced but not a bad person by any stretch. Things like that. Again, this is just my belief but I value family and I value people who do the same and it's hugely disconcerting to me hearing people regard family as just any other flesh on bone on this earth or treat each other poorly.

Why would you be an asshole to your own family? Sounds like their problem and not yours, which still goes back to my first statement.

I think the saddest thing in the world is to have a dysfunctional family or to have irreconcilable feuds with people within the family. If you haven't talked to someone in over years, there's something seriously wrong with you, if that person is terrible enough for you not to want to talk to them for years on end, there's something seriously wrong with the whole dynamic. It's not a good thing. Unless you have a rapist in the family or something seriously screwed up, if just on the basis of personality differences, you can't at least make peace with the people you are suppose to be closest to, I think it's an indication of what kind of person you are. But then again, we're all right to our own beliefs as to what is good, bad, right or wrong, so this is just what I think.

The Chinese is also not as wasteful, so maybe he accidentally dropped a quarter over the rail and chased after it.

I ate by myself in 7th grade...not cuz I was gay...I was just a huge dork There's something nice about eating alone....and if you start to rock back and forth in your chair, people may even think you're insane so when you go steal someone's food, they don't know what to say

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty eight. everything will be alright if you don't bring jail baits. You don't know about me, but I bet you won't hate. everything will be alright if, we just keep dancing like we're.....twenty eight.

Oh and I almost did that too but I was the one shopping and none of the dresses fit me...and the lady told me they didn't carry any size 18s and told me I should try Lane Bryant....

CLINIQUE.......TALK ABOUT PRODUCT PLACEMENT OMG I JUST GOT THE URGE TO BUY SOME CLINIQUE

Well they do say you know you made it when your work has been parodied To me, CC is representational of an idea more than a fictional/non-fictional account of what has happened or what has not. This is the only thing I am going to take from it, the rest is a bit too complicated, frustrating and maybe even non-sensical to think about. I think we are bound in life to only understand what we have experienced ourselves and the rest is all based on faith. It isn't fair or correct to believe one's own personal experiences define the parameters of what is and what is not possible for any single other person. There are too many variables for 2 people to be the same circumstances. In other words, what's happened to me doesn't mean it will ever happen to you, and what hasn't happened to me, doesn't mean it won't happen to you. We can only account for our own lives. With that being said, sometimes I think we ought to be careful what we expose ourselves to, how we feel about it, and ultimate what we should do with ourselves going forward.

Come spend a night with me and you'll never go back to women again

No I knew exactly what you meant. and my comment wasn't directly all at you but partly at you and the rest in general. You are arguing semantics and trying to sound like you're on to something profound when in reality you're just nit picking. I don't think every person who has come out in the manner of revealing they are currently dating someone of the same gender needs to supplement their coming out with "by the way just to clarify, I do like alllll guys, I'm just dating this one, I don't wan't you confused thinking I only like 1 guy even though I am totally straight because I only said i have a boyfriend and you clearly cannot connect dots". The fact that Tom very quickly said "I still fancy girls" implies he knew exactly what people are going to think and he wanted to make sure they think a certain way. I don't care if he's bi or gay or straight and nobody was declaring him anything, but we all have own opinions, I just didn't understand what your point was trying to mask Tom in this shroud of ambiguity....like Luc said, what does it matter?

Crosscurrents and ISWB are not intended as earth shattering publications to blur all traditional boundaries of what is possible. They are stories that show how deep of bonds people can have with one another regardless of gender and it's kind of absurd how some people take things like that and develop these weird sort of interpretations thinking there's no such thing as gay or straight anymore because those are toooo constricting for our newly found hipster way of thinking and that "straight" is obviously conditional because clearly Crosscurrent is the new bible, so let's keep our hopes up that the straight guy next door will let us suck his dick and Tom Daley isn't gay or straight or bi, he's just Crosscurrented because he left out the "s" in "guy" deeply revealing his Crosscurrentedness. Give me a break. I believe the idea of sexuality being fluid is now ollllld news, the arguments for it has been exhausted to death over and over, yesss sexuality is fluid...but it does not mean we are amorphous creatures and when Tom crawls into Dustin's bed tonight, us not slapping labels on him won't prevent them from making babies

I bet neither of them anticipated that Tom's coming out would bring Dustin's past back up like this. It's so dumb, who the fuck cares? Most people have done much worse things but they don't matter enough for their skeletons to become newsworthy. And the guy DLB was with was HOT...at least from what I could tell in like the 1 or 2 pictures I could find....where did all the good stuff go? I can't find anything from their alleged "sex tape scandal" other than articles talking about it.

Clearly some of y'all don't know good satire when it punches you in the face.

Liquid Ass

Duhhh wanglungg you don't have to search it up to know this is not a real news article but it was funny as hell.

Applebee’s Declares Bankruptcy After Offering Free Alcohol For Veterans Day KANSAS CITY, MO — The president of Applebee’s International, Inc. announced Tuesday that the family restaurant chain would be declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy next week, after offering military service members and veterans free alcohol for Veterans Day. The promotion resulted in a massive single day loss of nearly $6 billion. “I just wanted to do something for the troops,” said Michael Archer, Applebee’s president, in a press conference. “I figured they would come in, be respectful, and have a drink or two. It’s not like people go to Applebee’s to drink.” Soon after the deal was announced, word of free alcohol spread across social media. Army Brig. Gen. Robert James announced the deal on Twitter, along with the hashtag #CrunkAtApplebees. The tag began trending quickly, after Pentagon spokesman George Little tweeted, “Oh fuck yeah! #CrunkAtApplebees tonight bitches. Join me and Chuckie H.!” “I knew this might be a problem right after the east coast locations opened,” Archer said.“I got a call from the Norfolk VA regional manager who said all our restaurants were packed to capacity with lines out the door.” One Applebee’s reported the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) brought his entire crew to the restaurant, with 3000 sailors fighting for just 100 seats. (LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL) “The bartenders and servers fled the premises, leaving the sailors free reign over the bar,” said Archer. “The restaurant was on fire five minutes later.” Any location near military bases suffered a similar fate. Security footage of a Jacksonville, North Carolina Applebee’s showed hundreds of Marines drinking, head-butting walls, and holding one-armed pushup contests. Marines later spray painted “USMC” and “Wagner loves cock” over the walls. “Three guys came in and sat down at the bar,” said Michelle Baxter, a bartender at an Applebee’s in Butte, Montana. “They ordered three kegs and finished them in half an hour. One of them died for a moment. Actually died. He fell to the floor and wasn’t breathing. The two others did CPR on him while shouting ‘Wake up pussy, there‘s beer left!’” “He got back up and started drinking again. He wouldn’t go to the hospital unless he could bring his keg,” she added. Although going out of business, Archer says he has no regrets. “I wanted to thank our veterans. They really are our nation’s finest men and women. They proved it yesterday.” ------------- Oh God I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

oh yeah it's his personality I love to see glisten under the light as he steps out of the pool...I could watch him shampoo his morals and towel off that sense of humor all day and night.

How fun is this to see Mike get all gossip-girl on us over this? Mike, you must come over immediately for some wine and chocolate so we can gabble all night about all of our celebrity crushes and who we think are the fugliest whores on TV!!!!

yeah Tom and I are pretty happy together

Paul Walker died, Alabama lost, the $99 iPod Nano's sold out before I could get one....I really don't know what else could have been weirder yesterday.
