some memery ganked from mrvoid...

Type your birthdate into Wikipedia. Post 3 events, 2 birthdays, and 1 death that happened on that date.

November 19... (my commentary is in italics. because, wikipedia is clearly not awesome enough. i have to have my say, since it's my day and all...)

Events:
1. 461 - St. Hilarius becomes Pope. (perfect. so bloody perfect. this made me giggle a lot.)
2. 1916 - Samuel Goldfish (later renamed Samuel Goldwyn) and Edgar Selwyn establish Goldwyn Company (the company later became one of the most successful independent filmmakers.) (well, he was originally named Geldfisz...which he changed to Goldfish...and i will never call anything related to movies "Goldwyn" again.)
3. 1997 - In Des Moines, Iowa, Bobbi McCaughey gives birth to septuplets in the second known case where all seven babies were born alive. (des moines, represent...)

Birthdays:
1. 1960 - Allison Janney, American actress (oooh, shiny...i had no idea i shared a birthday with CJ. in other words, i am cooler than you are.)
2. 1970 - Justin Chancellor, English bassist (Tool) (he's a tool...but in the Phil-like way...for if there were no Tool, Phil would not be such a tool.)

Death:
1. 1915 - Joe Hill, American labor activist (executed) (b. 1879) (sings obligatory Phil Ochs tune)

is this a god dam?

stupid people amuse me.

i am watching cash cab. the final double or nothing video question showed a huge freaking dam, and the question was basically...what president is this dam named after.

of course, it was hoover dam.

the girls in the cab knew this.

so, they're all like..."j. edgar hoover!!! it's j. edgar hoover!!!"

the host tells them they're wrong and they lost all their money. they were confused, and said, "it's the hoover dam, right? j. edgar hoover?"

*headdesk*

stupid stupid stupid.

so, i watched the apprentice tonight. the challenge was to sell these pizza sandwiches at 7-11.

stop for a moment. how much would you expect to pay for a sandwich at 7-11?

one of the teams on the apprentice decided it would be a good idea to charge $7.99.

for one sandwich.

and no drinks, no sides, no nothing.

at a 7-11.

near a college.

i think he should have fired everyone on that team except for the guy who actually tried to lower the price. out of all the silly business blunders i've seen on that show...that one pretty much takes the cake. sit-down restaurant prices at a 7-11? there are no words.

do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

just...wow. i've heard this song a few times on the radio, but i haven't actually picked up and internalised all the lyrics before reading them online tonight. just...wow. there's a short list of songs that paint certain parts of me absolutely perfectly, and this is clearly on it.

"hate me"
by blue october

mother: hi justin! this is your mother. it is 2:33 on monday afternoon. i was just calling to see how you were doing. you sounded really uptight last night, it made me a little nervous, and a little, well it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous too. i just want to make sure you are really okay and wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication too. you know i love ya. take care honey, i know you're under a lot of pressure. see ya. bye bye!

i have to block out thoughts of you so i don't lose my head
they crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
dropping little reels of tape to remind me that i'm alone
playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
there's a burning in my pride
a nervous bleeding in my brain
an ounce of peace is all i want for you
will you never call again
and will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face
and will you never try to reach me
it is i that wanted this

hate me today
hate me tomorrow
hate me for all the things i didn't do for you
hate me and wait
yeah wait for it to swallow
hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

i'm sober now for 3 whole months
it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
the one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that i won't touch again
in a sick way i want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
while i was busy waging wars on myself
you were trying to stop the fight
you never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
you made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
so i'll drive so fucking far away that i'll never cross your mind
and do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

hate me today
hate me tomorrow
hate me for all the things i didn't do for you
hate me and wait
yeah wait for it to swallow
hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

and when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave
kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that i have made
and like a baby boy i never was a man
until i saw your blue eyes cry and i held your face in my hand
and then i found out i can't make it go away
just make it stop
come back and shine just like it used to be
and then she whispered
how could you did this to me

hate me today
hate me tomorrow
hate me for all the things i didn't do for you
hate me and wait
yeah wait for it to swallow
hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
for you
for you
for you
