Ayn Rand took government assistance while decrying...

Author Ayn Rand, famously a believer in rugged individualism and personal responsibility, was a strong defender of self-interest. She was a staunch opponent of government programs from the New Deal and Social Security to the Great Society and Medicare… was apparently secretly taking Social Security and Medicare near the end of her life.

themechatyrannosaurusgirl:
Because I’m taking a break from the regular 30 day meme, and video games are awesome and I have so much fun writing about them.
Day 1 - Very first video game. Day 2 - Your favorite character. Day 3 - A game that is underrated. Day 4 - Your guilty pleasure game. Day 5 - Game…

Relapse: Avoided
Today, under the advice of some friends, I decided to begin filling out a personal profile on eHarmony.com, a popular online dating website. I only filled it out halfway through before I realized how utterly ridiculous it was.
I had held off from online dating solely because it felt like a last resort. But filling out halfway that personality profile made me realize what it really is…...

30 Day Challenge: Day 10: Describe your first love...
First kiss was a very Christian girl, who I will call J. After a few fun dates, J didn’t want it to continue. She said she didn’t feel “the Lord’s Blessing” in our relationship. Of course she didn’t need the Lord’s blessing when I had her top off, but whatever. :-P

Because Thundercats will hopefully never die, it looks like that there’s going to be a new Thundercats series and a new toy line.

30 Day Challenge: Day 9: How you Hope your future...
You know what? I’m actually not going to do this one. If I’ve learned anything in the brief 24 years I’ve been on this planet, it’s that Expectations for the future will only bring dissappointment.
OR… the future will be even better than originally imagined.
So why set a series of “guidelines” when most don’t work out anyway?
I can Hope and...
Oh crap...
…someone “removed themselves” from my Mom’s Friends List on Facebook. EVERYBODY HIT THE DECK!!!
*loud dialogues ensue, including plots of revenge, plans to find who was removed and ways they can be further shunned in the real world*
Why oh why did I let her on the Internet?
30 Day Challenge: Day 8: Describe a moment in your...
This one is a toughy, because there are several times in my life where I was Happy, joyous, or even giddy. But satisfied? I don’t know about being completely satisfied. As a human being, I’m always wanting more. And even in the good times, there’s always that little thought in my head that says “enjoy it now, tomorrow we’ll see”.
There was one time when I felt...
