People suck.

One of my favorite blogs I read is Dooce. This makes me one of millions who read and love Heather Armstrong.

Apparently there are also thousands of people out there who hate her with the passion of a thousand suns. I know when you write in a public setting about your personal life that you are opening yourself up to criticism, but man, these people are harsh.
Sometimes I'm glad I never have any comments to read because at least no one is telling me that I'm ruining peoples' lives with my pig vomit. (Believe me, that's TOTALLY tame compared to some of the rest of her hate mail.)

What I love about Dooce, however, is that she got tired of keeping all the loony emails to herself and decided to hit her haters where it hurt: by monetizing the hate. It's perfect.

Click through. I promise it will make you feel good about yourself. No matter how crazy you are, you're not that damn crazy!

Mustaches are gross amazing.

My hubs is a huge OU football fan, which means I have to stare blankly at the screen watch the games with him every Saturday.

When Bradford got hurt a couple games ago, we both noticed the same thing when backup quarterback Landry Jones came in: his tremendous mustache.

I mean, with a mustache like that, I'm surprised he took a break from luring kids into his panel van to play a football game. Doesn't he just look like a person who would offer your kids suckers in the park? CREEPY!

Apparently the mustache is a big enough craze that the Daily Oklahoman, our fab daily newspaper here, wrote a story about it. And in that story? A quote from the head of the American Mustache Institute.

Not only is there an advocacy group for facial hair, it's been around for nearly half a century. And you must visit the website, it's amazing. Gallery of famous mustaches? Check. Logo complete with handlebar American flag? Check, baby! A picture guide to the 13 main mustache styles? Check! (Landry Jones is sporting the Chevron, but I think he could totally pull off the Imperial or Walrus)

Even though I think it will, the world never ceases to amaze me.

P.S. Holy moly, I just discovered a link on the page to the Stache Bash, held yearly in St. Louis because it's home to the Gateway Arch, the "largest mustache in the world." Oh my God, I want to go so badly!

Your mission, should you choose to create it

I hate mission statements on resumes, because really, the whole objective is to get a job. Why even put some buzzword-y, jargony mess on your resume? Although, I have to say that I love this mission statement that was shared with me by a friend:

To effectively create the implementation of any conceivable idea that contributes positively towards benefiting the organization where I am called to serve, the community where I live and then the nation and may be the entire human race.

Changing course of the human race, one conceivable idea at a time...

Warning: Rant Ahead

Have you heard about the health care debate? It turns out it's getting pretty heated out there. People are bringing assault rifles to town hall meetings, using questionable rhetoric and more, but nothing is more disturbing to me than this video of a pastor who preached during this sermon that he wanted Obama to die, for his daughters to be left fatherless and for his wife to be left a widow.

As a Christian, I can't believe that someone is using my religion to spread this kind of hate. I disagree with the politics of many, but I would never wish for their deaths. The fact that he cloaks this hatred and vile sentiment in Christianity makes me sick. What have we come to?
