The more I read about Tim Tebow, the more I see similarities to my own life story. Our story begins with a young mother- to-be who wants an abortion. Instead, she mans up and has the baby, giving birth to a son-child.
This special son-child makes a life out of bucking the odds. Though neither the strongest nor the fastest, he excels at sports. Many experts doubt the remarkable lad. They tell...

A committee of the state House of Representative sent a bill to remove Occupy Nashville protesters from the state Capitol to the House floor after increasing the bill’s penalty to nearly a year in jail or a $2,500 fine.
They’re going to remove protesters from the state Capitol to the House floor?

Looking forward to the big game Sunday. The Super What? I’m talking about University of Michigan v. Michigan State University men’s basketball. Fuck pro football.
I’m rooting for the alma mater, Michigan State (Spartans), btw.
Congressman Hurt To Discover Lobbyist Not Really... →
WASHINGTON—According to Capitol Hill sources, Rep. Bobby Schilling (R-IL) came to the painful realization this week that agribusiness lobbyist Stephen Fischer, who had been kind and generous toward him for months and had often met up with him for drinks after work, was not, in fact, his friend.
“Steve used to call all the time to catch up and ask about my family and chat about the...

Pierced bellybuttons are stupid. Don’t try to distract me on my journey from your tits to your pussy. I’ve got work to do.
Me: *turns on radio*
Taylor Swift: feels feels feels revenge slut-shaming more feels you broke my heart and now I'm making a catchy country tune about it yeah yeah yeah acoustic guitar
Bruno Mars: suicidal thoughts and plaid and war zones and gratuitous morphine use pain angst hurt for some reason all my songs involve me unnecessarily dying for you
Rihanna: no one cares what I'm singing about but you can assume it's a shitty metaphor for sex while I gyrate in little to no clothing on fake animals but at least it's stupidly catchy
Every single rap artist: bitches hoes in da club lots of money she wants the dick all these songs are about clubbing and sex and does anyone honestly live this lifestyle outside of music videos
Nicki Minaj: hkjhkjhcw fweljfhwjhddljhd hfojencojen nieukjdh lots of fast talking in a weird accent ha ha ha pop culture reference I'm a feminist with lots of wigs and in case you haven't noticed BIG BOOBS I don't even know what I'm rapping about lol

Amazing Grace
The wind rolls in like thunder
dry lightning shaking like a song
on your old radio static
across the desert
where my head is buried forever
grateful for this unforgiving weight
of the lost forever
together
did you see
there we were
across the sky

OK. If Ryan had put the theme from Passions on Ashes and Fire, it might have been my favorite track.

Yesterday—in a press release that accomplished in seven paragraphs what could have been taken care of with a list of titles and street dates and the words Tell your god to ready for blood—DC Comics announced plans to revisit the Watchmen universe in seven new miniseries that will act as prequels to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ revered, massively influential work of superhero eschatology. Gibbons,...

Let’s hear it for the bloops and clickity-beep boops. Now how about some fucking guitars?

ryanpurtill:
It’s a hard fact to face, but we live in a very trying and depressing time. Just the other day I saw a poster that said “Muscular Dystrophy, Race for the Cure: June 2nd”, and it made me really sad.
If I had the cure, I would just give it to them. Making them race for it seems really cruel and unfair. How far can a kid run with muscular dystrophy anyway?
What kind of monster...
Are you a fan of Matt Romney or The Grinch?
barelysarcasm:
These are the important political questions of the time.
The one who can’t keep his dick in his pants. Although it’s hard to tell because I think they both qualify. Romney has like 20 kids or something and the Grinch has been married 3 times and likes gang bangs.

Ryan’s banter with an audience at a recent show:
After playing the classic “Rescue Blues,” prior to performing the newer “Invisible Riverside”: “I’m going to change the theme for the night from existential pain to confusion. [pause] Just to see what that does.”
After the somber “Two”: “They’re just getting slower and slower, it’s like my music is dying.”
