I’m such a sucker for muppet videos. 

“It was a stoop sale, which is a garage sale if you live in Brooklyn, which I do.
And at the stoop sale, which is like a yard sale except that it’s in Brooklyn, I got my due.”

“I’m not afraid to say that I’d die without him — who else is gonna put up with me this way? I need you, I breathe you, I’ll never leave you. They would rue the day I was alone without you.

Boy you’re so crazy, baby; I love you forever, not maybe. You are my one true love. You are my one true love.”

I am so in love with Cee Lo right now it’s not even funny.

“From Heaven I fall, though from earth I begin,
No lady alive can show such a skin.
I’m bright as an angel, and light as a feather,
But heavy and dark, when you squeeze me together.
Though candour and truth in my aspect I bear,
Yet many poor creatures I help to ensnare.
Though so much of Heaven appears in my make,
The foulest impressions I easily take.
My parent and I produce one another,
The mother the daughter, the daughter the mother.”

— Jonathan Swift, The Poems of Jonathan Swift, D.D., Volume II

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

Pie Jesu, Qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.

Agnus Dei, Qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.

Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem.

Don’t forget the atrocity that was Ashlee Simpson’s performance(s).

But more importantly, I’m just kind of tired of all this misogyny within pop music. The dude in this article is right in that male singers are hardly ever thrown into this kind of situation; it’s just the girls. Honestly, it’s pop music - trashy pop music at that! Relax and just enjoy it for what it is.

“Right now I got other plans — important plans — and you’re part of them. We’re never going back again, so get outside, look at the sky: there’s not any sign of rain. No rain today on our parade, come on!”
