My adoration for Sylvia Plath will never die

A Mad Girl's Love Song

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Finally, something raw.

I've been waiting years for a movie like this.

Post Secrets

I love Post Secret because there is so much I can relate too.

all aboard the baby train...

Is it just me, or are babies the new trend?

Babies = the new skinny jeans.

Almost everyone I knew from high school has one of these, but I gotta say, this is one trend I'm not so keen on following.

Since when did everyone decide they were responsible enough to get married and pop one of these things out (or in some of these cases, pop one of these things out and then get married)?
I'm still trying to pay off my credit card, and these people are procreating? where did all of this magical 'lets make a baby' money come from?! And where can I get some? Granted I'd use the money to make my car payment this month, but hey, that's what I wanna do with my money. And I only think it's fair that if people that aren't even financially ready to raise a family get state funds, then I should get state funds, too.

Here's a bright idea: since there's already TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) why doesn't the government create a TANS (Temporary Assistance for Needy Students)?
Or better yet, since this world is already over populated (we have to be careful to not have too many children or else we might have to mimic China and have only two kids and kill all the girls), why don't they start a program where they give people money who DON'T have children and instead use the money to help pay their college education. In an economy like this, can anyone really argue with me?

So back to my other question: where does all this baby making money come from?Oh, right, right, I totally forgot...they're those fuckers that are taking $20-$40 out of my stub each pay check. WOWEE I can't believe that I didn't know that that's where they're getting all their financial help from. While they're off buying their 3 month old babies True Religions/Baby Phat/Air Jordans, I'm at my job working hours at a time to support myself to try to make my car and credit card payments on time.

I think I'd rather just owning a dog.
