There’s no way I’m passing by a redhead with (usually green) icy blue eyes.

Sister and I were watching old Pokemon episodes and for 3 episodes they told an abandonment story involving Chimchar. Became one of my favourite episodes in the franchise.

There’s few cartoons I follow religiously these days, but this one never fails to churn out some gems.

Pow! Right in the kisser

I was texting an old friend last night. I’m an extrovert so I have this intense need to keep in touch with all of my friends and exes and just everybody I’ve ever known.

Somehow, I’m not sure how, the conversation turned to “working out”. So this guy goes “I’ve been working out, but I can’t tell…

I’ve learned this lesson years ago. Yet there are quite a few people I know that still think like the person in question. Which is definitely annoying. A lot of guys out there are easy to jump at any moment a girl is nice to them; Especially the attractive ones. And it’s behaviour like this, that cause genuinely nice girls to refrain from being themselves.

If this fits you in any way, please take note.

“What a laugh, though. To think that one human being could ever really know another. You could get used to each other, get so habituated that you could speak their words right along with them, but you never knew why other people said what they said or did what they did, because they never even…

Orson Scott Card continues to wow me

A story told in separate pages

Some stories pair the protagonist with a character similar to themselves. Someone who often share a common goal or perspective, but sometimes go about another way of getting to the “end game”. This character we’ll call “a rival”.  In some aspects, this character can be perceived as a bit antagonizing, while others see them as a parallel to the main character.

In this story, I’ve realized I’ve encountered a character that parallels myself on two occasions; encountered them quite some time ago. It wasn’t until today where the plot reveals one of their roles in the story; the “rival”. Where the plot leads from here, is anybody’s guess. But the interesting thing is, in some tales, the rival coincides with the protagonist’s resolve. In others, they prove to be the antagonist.

margoism:

Of the roughly five thousand additives allowed into food, over half are flavorings. These thousands of taste molecules serve not only as window-dressing designed to make food hyperappealing, but often as the very foundation of the house itself. Consider KFC’s gravy, a product with at least seven flavoring ingredients, or nearly a third of the total:

Food Starch-Modified, Maltodextrin, Enriched Wheat Flour (Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Chicken Fat, Wheat Flour, Salt, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Monosodium Glutamate, Dextrose, Palm and Canola Oils, Mono- and Diglycerides, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Natural and Artificial Flavor (with Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Milk), Caramel Color (Treated with Sulfiting Agents), Onion Powder, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Spice, Spice Extractives, with Not More Than 2% Silicon Dioxide Added as an Anticaking Agent.
