Girls Like Mysterious Guys
tmblg:ryanpurtill:
Now I don’t know a ton about girls, I’ll be the first to admit it. I don’t know if they like being hit on, if size matters, or where they pee out of. It’s a mystery like the bermuda triangle, but one thing I do know is that girls love a mysterious adventure.

Happy Birthday, Instapaper

Also of note: the @Google series of lengthy interviews, including a month-old one with Chris Onstad...
I don’t really keep role models, but if there is one person I could aspire to be like it would be him. Neil is by far my favorite astrophysicist (obviously followed by Christiaan Huygens and Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn, duh) because he adds an element of cool to everything he talks about. He can get people to be interested in some very boring stuff and make things like our impending death seem...
I wish the government, or anyone for that matter, would psychologically analyze these upper-level executives and see if they find a pattern of some sort. A pattern that would elude to their total disconnect from reality and inability to rationalize.

A mental catalog of past Chipotle experiences currently racing through your head—including that time the woman gave you spicy salsa when you specifically asked for mild—likewise supports the belief that you are going to get screwed yet again.

I wonder what’s the average for how long it takes someone to ‘take a break’ from tumblr.
I got Inauglog back up and running again. Something happened with the theme and it was deleted. I also the rest of my pics. Thanks
My blog is nothing but an external hard drive for my brain.
