Absolutely true.
We don’t understand the power of our jaws until we try to break an m&ms with our fingers.
Think of an activity you love to do. Get the image firmly set in your mind. There will come a day when you do that activity for the very last time. Odds are you will not realize it is for the last time. How would you view it differently if you knew?
Note from an older person: we fucked up. I apologize. Please unfuck the world, for your own sake.
If it is a busy day, with lots of pen work, I may use them all. I default to the fountain pen, because it forces me to write deliberately. It's how I'm working to improve my penmanship. I'm often teased because I end up with 6 to 8 pens in my pocket on a normal day.
I was discussing high school proms with a friend, and he said guys wants one of two things in a prom date:
1. A slut who will blow you both going to the prom and coming back.
Or
2. Jennifer Connely in the dance scene from "Labyrinth".

My wife and I are big fans of Labyrinth and David Bowie. For her birthday a few years ago I got her this:
Labyrinth As The World Falls Down
Sheer brilliance.
when I become an eccentric billionaire I'm going to buy every house in 10 square blocks of unremarkable suburb. I will have them all furnished and decorated except for (and this is key) one house in the dead center. this house I will put up for sale at a ridiculously reasonable price for the area. once it sells, and the new owner/couple/family moves in, the plan will spring into action.
every single house besides the one in the center within my 10 square blocks will remain uninhabited. I will put all the lights inside on timers so that it appears that people are living in there, I will have lawns mowed when I'm sure everyone in my victim house is at work/school, I will have decorations put up during the holidays and cars moved there and parked in driveways when I'm sure that the owner/couple/family in the house at the center is not there to witness it happening. I will produce all the superficial trappings of life without a single person actually being there.
who knows how long it'll take them to realize that something is wrong? when their kids are playing in the yard, and they notice they've never seen another child around here even once, despite the four-bedroom family homes all down the street? after a few weeks, when they realize the lights in the house across the way click off at exactly 9:45, on the second, every single night? when they've been living there for a month and a half and they realize they've never seen a single car park in front of another house? when they want to greet their neighbors and not a single house in the whole neighborhood opens its door?
when they do realize that they're completely alone here, what would they do with that fact? what would you do if all at once, as you stood in a crowd, you realized that every single person around you was a mannequin? it's unnerving, sure, but enough to warrant a move? how long will they live in this idyllic ghost town before it gets to them? can a person survive in a dollhouse? Thank you. *I wave to the crowd as I walk offstage at my ted talk. one person gives a halfhearted round of applause from the back. a talk about sustainable ecosystem management was scheduled for right now and no one knows how I got up here.*
I don't remember the name, but it was something on the ARPANET.
I am so making one of these for my classroom. (I already have a single-shot version.)
Having worked food service for a lot of years, I was on tenterhooks the entire time...
Cameriere al top!!
I've been a teacher for 32 years, and I still have school dreams. Not about teaching, but attending.
School being so traumatic people have anxiety dreams about it for life sure doesn't seem uh. Normal
