My sister graduated from college last week and her boyfriend got her a new kitten, which unfortunately has gotten very sick. Being a recent college graduate she is pretty broke and asked for help they could get, I’m sending her some money but thought I’d repost as well:
“Ryan and Ashley’s kitten has recently gotten terribly sick. I got him last week for my birthday, he is only 10 weeks old. He can’t move, he is in a lot of pain.
He is in an animal hospital, but the cost will be somewhere in the upper hundreds. We want our kitty back home and healthy. Our hearts are broken…
Please help us!
I know times are hard, but if you could donate even a dollar that would help more than you know.
If you are looking for a good cause, you’ve found it! I really hate asking for money, but we really need it to help save our precious Lincoln.
The link below is for PayPal donations. Seriously, anything you can do. If you can’t afford to donate, please send a prayer his way. Thank you so much. Also, please forward this to anyone you think may be interested in helping”

Overall I didn’t feel that 2008 was a wonderful year personally for new music, regardless here’s a list of 35 tracks that I’ve fully enjoyed in the last year. I threw all of the tracks in a zip with some playlist files so that you can download them here:

Decided to write this down and avoid actually bugging my real life friends by saying “I had this crazy dream last night”
**Update**
I ended up blabing on about it with two friends anyway.

I went back to second grade. I needed to finish up elementary school for some reason even though the rest of my education was [...]
Yesterday, late morning, I quit smoking for the second time. The first time I quit it lasted nine months and was assisted by dating, and thus spending considerable time with, a non-smoker. Starting back up was a gradual process that took place over the course of a couple months of starting a stopping.
I’m using the [...]
In putting together a CD mix recently I compiled a list of songs that at some point in time I was obsessed with, listened to on repeat, and inevitably got a little sick of. Only rule was that I couldn’t repeat bands. I didn’t go too far back (probably ~1996) so you wont see any [...]
As long as I can remember I’ve always had a difficult time managing my hobbies and interests… there are just too many things I want to do and learn: Raise my proficiency in French, get better at piano, write Shakespearean sonnets, pick up oil painting, learn how to play the Trumpet, actually put some real [...]
Went out to watch the Jags training camp last night with Brandon Dyal and Sean Collins. Sean got there too late to see the Oklahoma drills, which were the highlight of the evening.
The wordpress app for the iphone is available now, though you can’t seem to access it from the app store.
Unfortunately since I happen to be writing this from my iPhone I can’t copy and paste the link. I also really wish apple would open up the horizontal key pad that you can use in Safari [...]
As widely reported in the news, French President Sarkozy’s reforms to the constitution were passed yesterday by one vote over the two-thirds majority required.
As a young political science undergraduate I was very interested in the structure and distribution of power in the French political system. France is a semi-presidential system, which isn’t exactly unusual but [...]
At 9:45pm on Monday, June 16th Boston Tom (Thomas Provost) was shot in the doorway of Shanty Town pub up on 6th and Main in Springfield.
I was there out in the back patio area with my friends Annie, Sarah, and Steven at the time of the shooting. We heard two quick ‘pops’ and initially thought [...]
