the ladybug and the lion

A Gem.

This career advice blog is amazing.  I especially love this post, which is very applicable to those suffering from the infamous quarter-life crisis.  It also contains lovely (or not so lovely) tidbits and advice from from the writer's personal life, including a plea to avoid secrets.

Because This Joggled My Funny Bone.

I picked up a copy of Malibu magazine a couple days ago and the first thing I read was a piece of fiction by Dallas Clayton, age 10.  A teaser: "Clothes are crazy things that you wrap yourself in to make people want to have sex with you or think that you have money or are really good at playing a certain sport that you might just be OK at."  It prompted me to look up Clayton, which led me to his blog, which while not as laugh out loud funny as his little work of fiction, is nonetheless entertaining.
