A father picks up his 3-month-old daughter at a refugee camp in Mor Jangi near Taunsa Sharif, in central Pakistan. Residents of this Pakistani village whose lives were washed away by last year’s floods complain they have been largely forgotten. Some are still living in tents and others have had to sell their cattle and take on significant debt to rebuild their homes. (Anjum Naveed/Associated Press) #
I’ve spent my entire life doing nothing but collecting comic books.
And now there’s only time to say… LIFE WELL SPENT!

I wonder if I am being a brat? I have decided to cut ties with people I think drain my energy. Friends that only call me when they need something or don’t care about my feelings really… the ones that have made me feel like this for awhile.
This is never being bratty. Never. I’ve done it and its always been a decision that made my life better.
Answering the question, “how you living?”
I’m going to caption this photo as, “Living the dream.”

Its almost time. What are your New Year’s Resolutions?
Mine? I want to get my teeth worked on and be healthier. I’m going to try and give up pop. I mostly drink it for caffeine anyway, which I can always get from other sources.

Over it.
That’s why I work for a NPO cause I believe in. At least on my worst day, my most frustrating day, I’m happy because I’m not making a bunch of white men richer.
You know how everyone wants a MEANINGFUL LIFE. We’re supposed to have GOALS. And I’m not supposed to want just a job, I need a CAREER or a PURPOSE or whatever. Well I am here to tell you that in my smug over-educatedness with my high end faux fancypants job that I am over that life with a purpose shit.
I am almost to the point that I want a perfectly mundane 9 to 5. Why? Because then I’d have time for an actual life, and I wouldn’t be lying awake at night with anxiety over useless shit that at the end of the day only serves to make some old assholes more money.

My mom wasn’t too sure about me being an actor at first. She said, ‘Okay, but if you haven’t had the break after a few years, you have to be able to pull out.’ I couldn’t call her in five years’ time and say, ‘Could you pay my rent?’ Three months before I got The Office, I was on the phone to her, saying I was thinking of getting out because my friends were doing well and I was going nowhere. She said, ‘Never base it on your friends. Give it another shot.

If valid, the study has important implications for interpreting risk-taking in teens. It suggests that the brains of many teens who behave dangerously are maturing early: Reckless behavior might in fact be a sign of adultness. Some adults do risky things (speeding, drinking, having unprotected sex) quite commonly without causing great alarm. Automatically considering such behaviors to be more objectionable just because someone is young runs into what the researchers call in their paper “a conundrum of defining risk (or dangerousness) based not on the objective attributes of the activity but on the person engaging in them.
Study, via Are Risky Teens Really Just Horny Little Adults? | The Awl
I often looked back at my teenage life as fairly mundane. I never considered the drinking, drugs, sexual, and criminal activity I did as a teen to be anything other than normal teen behavior. I never thought I was ever in any real danger of getting, so in my mind, it didn’t feel high risk.
Looking back, it sounds like the stuff I was doing was actually kind of crazy and out of the ordinary. My experience wasn’t the norm like I though, but the exception.
I wasn’t a dork in high school. I was cool as hell. Huh.
