Lilly Allen - Fuck You
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
and look a bit harder
cause we’re so uninspired
so sick and tired
of all the hatred you harbor
so you say it’s not okay to be gay
well I think you’re just evil
you’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces
your point of view is medieval
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause we hate what you do
and we hate your whole crew
so please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause your words don’t translate
and it’s getting quite late
so please don’t stay in touch
Do you get, do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?
you want to be like your father
it’s approval you’re after
well that’s not how you’ll find it
Do you, do you really enjoy living a life that’s so hateful
cause there’s a hole where your soul should be
you’re losing control of it
and it’s really distasteful
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause we hate what you do
and we hate your whole crew
so please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause your words don’t translate
and it’s getting quite late
so please don’t stay in touch
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
and look a bit harder
cause we’re so uninspired
so sick and tired
of all the hatred you harbor
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause we hate what you do
and we hate your whole crew
so please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause your words don’t translate
and it’s getting quite late
so please don’t stay in touch
(Suprisingly, this song is super upbeat and happy. It’s my current morning motivation music.)

LINK: I Think You're Fat - Esquire
I still tell plenty of lies every day, but by the end of the week I’ve slashed the total by at least 40 percent. Still, the giddiness is wearing off. A life of radical honesty is filled with a hundred confrontations every day. Small, but they’re relentless.
“Yes, I’ll come to your office, but I resent you for making me travel.”
“My boss said I should invite you to this meeting, although it wouldn’t have occurred to me to do so.”
“I have nothing else to say to you. I have run out of conversation.”
My wife tells me a story about switching operating systems on her computer. In the middle, I have to go help our son with something, then forget to come back.
“Do you want to hear the end of the story or not?” she asks.
“Well…is there a payoff?”
“Fuck you.”

Then again, maybe transparency is overrated.
The feet of President Barack Obama, center foreground, and others during a tour of a museum at the Pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt on June 4, 2009.
I love seeing the odd bits and details of the presidency we get to see in the White House Flickr stream. Oh, and seeing him film awkward comedy with Stephen Colbert warms my heart too.
I hope that the huge leaps forward the Obama team has made in creating a more transparent, user-friendly government will be adopted by his successors. It’s a lot harder to be dispassionate about politics when are seeing pictures of your commander-in-chief playing with his strange looking puppy and adorable children in between the pictures of meeting with foreign dignitaries and wounded veterans.
LINK: Pixar Grants Dying Girl Her Final Wish
The folks at Pixar helped a dying girl fulfill her final wish when one of their employees hand delivered a DVD of the film Up to the family’s residence for a private screening.
10-year-old Colby Curtin was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in December 2005, and ever since she saw a preview for Up, she’d been excited for the poignant film about a man who goes on an adventure after the loss of his wife by tying balloons to his house and flying away.
After the family had made a request that was never fulfilled for a wheelchair to take Colby to the theaters, a family friend began frantically calling Pixar as Colby’s health dramatically worsened.
Finally the friend got through the automated messaging system by guessing a name. Pixar immediately sent out an employee to the girl’s home in Huntington Beach armed with a DVD of the film and a gift basket of toys. The family sat around to a private screening.
Colby had difficulty keeping her eyes open through the film because of the pain she was in, so her mother narrated it to her.
Colby died 7 hours later and we hope her final moments were that much more comfortable for having her final wish granted.
Alright well, I for one am nominating Pixar for Company of The F’ing Century.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part’ll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.

Like it shines on me

The only living boy in New York.
Here I am……………….
Here I am……………..
