“If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”― Bob Marley
Not fond of his drug use, but can’t argue that he’s a smart man.
How can I respect someone who is so trashy?
” ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater’? Well, maybe not always, but probably. A guy who cheats looks for satisfaction OUTSIDE the relationship when he gets bored, instead of working on the dynamics within it. If another girl can steal your man away from you, let her have him, because you don’t want him anymore anyway. Now go get yourself a guy who only has eyes for beautiful you!”
Student teaches teacher how to teach
“Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth and mum was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest. War was only a card game. And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up”.
Wil Wheaton on why being a nerd is awesome
Mr. Crusher delivered a message to an audience member’s newborn girl on why it’s so great to be a nerd, and a little advice for future life. It’s a goosebump-inducing video, and you should watch the whole thing here, and maybe just paste it to your mirror or something.
I don’t know how you’d paste a video to your mirror, but you should.
My favorite parts:
“Being a nerd… it’s not about what you love, it’s about how you love it… The defining characteristic that ties us all together, is that we love things.
Find the things that you love and love them the most that you can.”
A message that jives well with my own (see title of blog). I applaud you, Mr. Wheaton.
Cool Science Experiment- Springtime Rockets
A trip to the hardware store and a little creativity is all you need to set-up your own rocket launching laboratory. Our science guy, Steve Spangler, is in the backyard with some enthusiastic kids who can’t wait to put lose some rockets on the roof of 9News.

Copenhagen. This is some great city planning right here
I just want something so simple, so innocent, where I will be happy and where you will be happy. I want for us to make each other better people, to motivate each other, to push each other to new limits. Be a good influence to me. If I wake up every morning invigorated with life, hope, and drive, I will stay with you forever.
I don’t want to be on the back of your motorcycle, I want to be riding it.
What makes eating so satisfying?
Scientists are learning to enhance our enjoyment of food by analysing exactly how we experience it. So how do they deconstruct the multisensory interplay involved?
There’s no doubt that research into the elaborate multisensory interplay that makes eating and drinking so satisfying has resulted in a great deal of culinary fun in recent years. From dining-in-the-dark restaurants to Heston Blumenthal’s introduction of popping-candy to Little Chef menus, edible celebrations of our growing scientific nouse in this area abound. Now there’s even an unlikely collaboration between Heinz Baked Beans and those debonair self-styled “food architects” Bompas and Parr involving tactile bowls and musical spoons – perhaps an indication that this trend has peaked.
Either way, you don’t need gimmicks to marvel at the intricate sequence of stimuli that conjures the overall flavour of, say, a Twix. I used to chip the chocolate off the sides with my incisors, relishing the moment each tiny slab broke free and began to melt in my mouth. From the pleasing rustle and tear of the packet, to the sweet, creaminess that still coated the mouth after swallowing, each of my senses were tickled. “They’re interacting and modulating one another,” says Professor Barry Smith of London University’s Centre for the Study of the Senses. “It’s actually one of the more complicated things the brain has to do, to put all this together.” (via What makes eating so satisfying? | Life and style | guardian.co.uk)
“What you say and how you look does not define who you are,because some of the most beautiful people do the ugliest things.You owe it to the people who hate you, who disrespect you and who put you down,
because they’re the ones who have made you who you are today,for keeping your head up and not breaking down when they want you to.”
