When you’re out of shape and you start to take action to become fit, it’s natural to want to progress as quickly as you possibly can. Unfortunately, what often happens is that instead you progress as quickly as you think you can until your body experiences a strain it can’t adapt to and then you stop […]

This is a beautiful song about freedom deferred, and a thought-provoking lesson in the sacrifices people make on a daily basis, putting their dreams aside or squashing them into the corners of their lives rather than giving up what they’ve settled for to chase what they love. It’s never easy to find that balance; it is always worth […]

  cross-posted from raincoaster What causes art? In this case, it’s simple: a child’s desire for mutilation. Do 13-year-olds really need to be saving their babysitting and paper route money for breast implants? Cheryl-Ann Webster wondered that herself, when her daughter told her that a friend was already socking away money for the boobflation job she […]

As Valleywag reports, David Hayden has had his share of hard knocks over the past few years. From being one of the high-flying dotcom gajillionaires, he’s been reduced to selling furniture to pay bills. He, personally, is thirty million dollars in debt.

More momo, y’all. This 24-minute sit-down may be his most powerful video yet. In it, he talks with Joanne, the woman in crisis who wrote to him (we read that letter in the last video), and helps her understand how she’s been essentially oppressing herself. Because she’s a caring, helping person, she makes herself transparent rather than […]

what’s Mom worth?

Stolen from Guy Kawasaki (welcome to the blogroll, Guy) who stole it from Reuters, who stole it from Salary.com, here’s a nifty little calculator to determine how much a mother’s work is actually worth, if you were hiring people to do all of that instead.
