I Hate Monroe Piercings

(Source)
I'm open minded when it comes to piercings. I don't have any myself, but I'm not bothered by people who do, so long as it isn't excessive. Women with multiple ear piercings are fine by me, as are nose (except horseshoe ones) and navel ones, among others types.

But there's always been one that strikes me as completely arbitrary, useless and totally unattractive: the Monroe. I suppose it emulates Marilyn Monroe's famous freckle or beauty spot, whatever you want to call it, and it's cool that so many people want to pay homage to an iconic figure. Except somehow they always wind up looking dumb and out of place.

Maybe the idea is to send a message that says: faces are beautiful no matter how they look or what's on them. If that's the case, I applaud the sentiment, but I have to ask - is body modification the only way to get that point across?

Let's put the Monroe this way: More Here...

UGK featuring OutKast - Int'l Players Anthem

This is a collaboration between two of the best southern hip-hop duo's on the planet. Houston's UnderGround Kingz and Atlanta's OutKast.
Andre 3000 raps a nice little ditty about marriage and fidelity, Pimp C (R.I.P.) counters by doing what he does best, pimping. Bun B. also discusses the finer points of pimping, as well as getting money, and Big Boi finishes it all off by reminding us not to get anyone pregnant.
Classic.
Whaddya think. thumbs up or thumbs down?
Summer Glau: Shamelessly Ogle A Celebrity Week

Keeping with the Firefly theme for a third straight day (there are some really happy nerds out there right now) we're going to be taking a closer look at Summer Glau, who played the incredibly disturbed super genius on that show. But really she just seemed like a creepy kid. Then she played the terminator, Cameron, on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and all of a sudden she was hot. When did that happen?

Now that that critically acclaimed, much beloved sci fi show was canceled before it's time, she's onto her next critically acclaimed, much beloved sci fi show that was canceled before it's time, Dollhouse, for a few episodes and then who knows what? I'm sure whatever Joss Whedon does next he'll put her in. In the meantime she's making a strong argument to challenge Felicia Day for the title of queen of the nerds. And at least we'll always have the pictures. More Here...
Hire Me. Please.

Getting a job is just annoying. It's not fun, or enjoyable, or anything. It is all hard work, e-mails, uncertainty, and rejection. I can't do anything, because I'm too busy refreshing my e-mail, the help wanteds, and then constantly checking my cell phone for messages. I just end up feeling useless and helpless.
It doesn't have to be this way. I think this whole "finding a job" system we have in this country needs to be overhauled. Why should I have to put forth effort, or be a go-getter? Fuck that, I went to college, I already put my time in.
This is what I think should happen. Instead of all of us unemployed people, applying for job after job, not hearing back, not knowing if we will get it, the employers should have to apply to us. More Here...
