Soooo, I just found the coolest thing ever.

If you’ve ever wanted to be able to play with a cat without ever owning a cat or even being anywhere near a cat… Now is your chance! The Oregon Humane Society has a little room with kittens and a bunch of toys. Toys that you control. There are three little remote control toys that you can use from the comfort of your own home to play with these adorable little kittens. You can rotate the camera and zoom in to keep tract of the kittens and their antics, even if you don’t want to play with the toys. All you have to do is go to their website, which you can find by clicking here, and then install Microsoft Silverlight which will take a total of like 5 seconds. You then get in a queue and wait for your turn to play with these fuzzy cats for 2 minutes before your turn is up.

What a wonderful idea!

Today I submitted my dissertation to the graduate college. The bad boy is done. All that is left is my defense.

Sounds great, right? This is the shit I been working on for how long? The reason I moved across the country. The culmination of my experience as a student.

And I am sad as hell.

I am alone. The fam is gone. No one to celebrate with. No one who will understand this empty feeling inside of me.

10 Tips i used to lose 50 pounds (by Scola Dondo)

I was at work the other day and my next customer was a tiny African American woman who had crossed into her elder years. She handed me a card and said she was ready for her free purchase. I surveyed the card and at our coffee shop you need 10 punches and she only had five. She had not seen the additional row of boxes that needed a punch before she could get her free latte.
When I pointed out the additional row she was very accepting of my explanation explaining that she was so looking forward to her freebie, she was so clear and succinct that I lost hold of myself and began to weep right there at the cash wrap.
Why is it that my Mom will not have her same opportunity to enjoy her senior years. People ask often how I am doing caring for Mom and the stress that it has put my family.
In fact my highest regret is the unfairness of retirement being snatched from her.
An Ivy League educated anthropology professor who planned well and worked so hard for retirement will never enjoy it. This is my greatest sadness, she deserves to travel and enjoy the fruits of her labor and it will never be.
