18. Someone To Watch Over Me

It wasn’t a smoking room.

The inch or so of cold coffee sizzled briefly when he dropped another butt in. There were at least four of them in there already. He was getting old; every year it got a little harder to sleep rough.

Linky thingy

I knew there was a reason I changed my major

Uh, it took me a whole day to post this because I couldn’t stop staring and saying “what the fuck” in response to this.

Kevin over at Slant Truth wrote a great post about a truly horrible article from Psychology Today, Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature. He does a great job at calling bullshit on the impressive amount of bullshit in it, so check it out.

17. In Time of Need

Fluorescent light filtered down through greased car parts. To a lot of people, lying on their backs underneath a car was one of the more unpleasant things to have to do but for Dom, there was no better place to be. Outside of a race track that was. He could get lost, working for long hours without end. Jim’s wreck looked nothing at all like it had when he had first towed it in.
