August 30, 2013

Imperfection is proof that we need growth, not an excuse to avoid it.

She is adorable, but does anyone else see a resemblance between baby North West and the late, beloved comic legend Jonathan Winters?

As selfish as it sounds, caring for someone is a great way to remind ourselves why it's better to not have a heart of stone.

Maybe I've put too much thought into this, but I think Maude's Florida Evans was a lot hipper than Good Times' Florida Evans.

The 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech was this past Wednesday. A lot of things have changed regarding what people are and are not permitted to do, but not necessarily what people do and do not want to do.

After watching N-Sync's less-than-two-minute reunion at the 2013 MTV VMAs, I couldn't help wondering: would I give, say, my plumber, a hard time, if he couldn't snake a drain as well as he used to, after 10 years of retirement?

Speaking of the VMAs, there is a very, very, very thin line between the freedom of artistic expression, and the decision to abandon good taste. I am now calling that line: Miley Cyrus. By the way, Miley: the word 'twerk' has been officially added to the Oxford dictionary. Happy now? So, as a censored Madea would say, "Girl, time to sit your behind down."

New York mayoral candidate and selfie scandal center Anthony Weiner is denying allegations that the crowds of supporters at his recent public appearances are actually paid performers hired to camouflage his waning popularity. Now that's humiliating.

Former U.S. Army soldier Bradley Manning, convicted of espionage after leaking 750,000 pages of classified documents to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The following day, he announced that he wants to become a woman. That's some interesting timing.

The Google Play store no longer carries the Brazilian Android app Rastreador de Namorado, which translated, means "Boyfriend Tracker". The app, which tracks people via their cell phones, was marketed toward women suspicious of their boyfriend's fidelity. I guess women who'd rather use technology to stalk their men will have to rely on the black market (because you know the app is still available there).

Agape' -- P
