Congratulations

U.S. Men’s Water Polo win silver.

While this might sound like a dissapointment, they were ranked 9th in the world coming into the tournament.  Congrats to Rick Merlo.  Maybe it was the video (which looked suprising like the Visa “Go World” commercials though Curt’s came first.)

I told you so

After seeing slews of celebrity pregnancies and the film Juno, I predicted this would happen. So now I can accuse my little bro of just trying to be like Brad and whomever he’s having babies with right now.

Belonging

Hopefully, I soon will be the proud owner of a:

a hirsute appendage of the upper lip with graspable extremities

Then I can join the club.

The Sharing of Ourselves

From my latest pick-up from the library:

He has made the sharing of ourselves the law of our own being, so that it is in loving others that we best love ourselves. In disinterested activity we best fulfill our own capacities to act and be.

Yet there can never be happiness in complusion.  It is not enough for love to be shared: it must be shared freely.
