I've never broken up with anyone via text.... but I love to have me some arguments via text, I love watching other people argue via text...there's no cool way to angrily text...face it you look like an idiot... I mean I know I look like an idiot when I am angrily texting ha-ha, read on, then chime in - DJ

Breaking up is always hard to do, and perhaps the most despicable and
heartless way to say adieu is by text message. But if you're too anxious (read:
cowardly) to meet your (former) love in person to say the heartbreaking words
that must be said, it's probably better to do it by text than voice mail. Maybe.
And you're not alone. One in 10 breaks up this way, The Daily Mail reports of a
survey of 2,000 people conducted by Recombu.com. Why? It's a good way to avoid
confrontation. Even the rich and famous do it. Jennifer Aniston sent John Mayer
a text message to send him packing, and Britney Spears told Kevin Federline she
wanted a divorce by text. Not sure what to say in the break-up text message?
TextingAdvice.com will help. It has assembled the top 10 text messages for
telling your lover to buzz off:

1. Sorry. It's over.
2. I would tell you this in person, but I wouldn't be able to make myself do
   it. I think it's best we don't see each other anymore.
3. I think we should start seeing other people.
4. I am bad with commitment, and I would just end up cheating on you anyway. So
   let's end it now.
5. I love you to death, but I would rather not die right now. Hope you get my
   point. Bye.
6. Are you dumping me right now? Because if you're not, then I am.
7. I have made a few bad decisions in my life. Giving you my number was one of
   them. We are done.
8. I don't want you to fall in love with me, so let's just be friends.
9. It's best if you and I never see each other anymore.
10. We could have been something, but you had to ruin it. I am through with you!

So.... (even though I love #6), would you break up via text? Have you done it? Been done to you? Ohhh dooooo tell!

This was interesting to me, because I find that when I daydream..., I just kind of gl "blank", I used to think perhaps the aliens were taking me and I didn't feel the pain in my behind..so apparently this says I have no personality... finally, confirmation after all these years - DJ

DAYDREAMS REVEAL YOUR PERSONALITY

Daydreams are a great way to escape your everyday worries, but there's more
going on there than idle fancy. "Studies show that what you imagine when you're
wide-awake and dreaming directly relates to your deepest hopes and desires,"
says psychotherapist John Jeffries. "And once you understand the meaning of your
daydreams, you can begin to work toward the goals that will make you happy."

• Romance -- Your inner voice is clamoring for you to start a
  self-improvement program. Think about what steps you can take to make yourself a
  better, happier person. Whether you want to lose weight, find a new job or sign
  up for a night class, now is the time to jump right in and get started.
• Problems -- If thoughts of trouble are invading your daydreams, you
  are feeling a need to prepare yourself for the future. Make an effort to
  double-check your plans before you leave for a trip and immerse yourself in all
  the information available before starting a new project at work. Having all your
  ducks in a row will put you at ease.
• Nature scenes -- You're a high achiever who craves success. You're
  willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goals, and your single-minded
  focus on the main chance makes it a sure bet you'll be a winner. Make an effort
  to gain the good will of your co-workers and you're even more likely to make it
  to the top.
• Solitude -- Daydreaming about being all by your lonesome? The experts
  say this fantasy indicates you need to express your creative side. Maybe art
  lessons are just what you need to satisfy your deepest desire. Don't suppress
  it. Find a way to indulge your fanciful impulses and open the door to happiness.
• Trophy -- Musings about winning awards suggest that you're too busy
  doing for others to think about yourself. Instead of feeling neglected, make a
  concerted effort to pamper yourself with a day at the spa or a shopping spree at
  the mall. Remember that the first step in truly loving others is to love
  yourself.

Can ANYONE explain to me why I watch this over and over and it never gets old? I even recorded a cover version of this in my studio at the house (the recording is to be released upon my death, not a second sooner).  While we're talking about it,,,apparently I'm not the only one... 23 million views?!

When someone makes you so angry you simply must respond with an insult, do not swear. People who swear not only show how uncouth and impolite they are, but also display their limited vocabulary. When you insult someone using words they just might have to look up in the dictionary, you somehow are able to rise above the fray with great satisfaction, while showing off your advanced intelligence. You will leave them red-faced and flummoxed. What did he just call me? An example, you say? Instead of calling someone "a pain in the a**," call them a cocydynia. It means exactly the same thing. Quizlet.com has helpfully provided 10 such words. You'll beef up your vocabulary and be able to get the last word in with an air of mystery and bedevilment. Forthwith, here are 10 insulting words you should know:

1. Bescumber: to spray with poo
2. Buncombe: a ludicrously false statement that means bulls*** or nonsense.
3. Cacafuego: a swaggering braggart or boaster
4. Coccydynia: a pain in the butt
5. Corpulent: very fat
6. Feist or Fice: a person of little worth or someone with a bad temper
7. Frenchify: to contract a venereal disease
8. Hircismus: offensive armpit odor
9. Microphallus: an unusually small penis
10. Ninnyhammer: a fool or a silly person

I found the following "news" story... we need to beat this - DJ

Nearly 1,000 stressed-out young office workers and students
joined in a mass pillow fight in China- yes, China. Participants were handed
pillows at the door and wrote on them the names of their bosses, teachers, or
whoever had stressed them out. Then they went at it pillow fighting their way
to relaxation and stress relief. It was the fifth time the annual event has
been held in Shanghai and has become so popular that there are plans to stage
it in other cities.  (Ananova)

With that being said... I dug these up for you... enjoy

Now don't you feel dirty?

BRAIN QUIRKS YOU DIDN'T REALIZE YOU HAD
Psychology often confirms our intuitions about how our minds work, but it offers quite a few surprises as well. Although some psychology buff's will have heard a few of these before, here's a list of quirks in your brain you probably didn't realize you had:

• Your short-term memory has a max capacity of seven-- Humans have three forms of memory: sensory, long-term and short-term. Long-term memory is like hard-drive space, while short-term memory works like a very small RAM. This short-term memory can hold only about five to nine (average is seven) items at a time.
• Chartreuse is the most visible color-- Yellow-green, chartreuse, sits right in the middle of the frequencies of visible light. Your eyes have receptors for blue, green and red. Being in the middle, yellow-green triggers the most of these receptors to fire, making it easy to spot. In some cities, firetrucks have been changed from red to a yellow-green color to make them more visible.
• Your subconscious is smarter than you are-- Or at least more powerful. In one study, a square was assigned to a location on a computer screen through a complex pattern. After watching it, people began to get results better than chance of picking out where the square would pop up next. But when asked to consciously determine the pattern, even given a few hours, nobody could do it.
• You have two nervous systems-- One set controls excitation and the other controls inhibition. If you hold out your hand, you might notice minor tremors. This is caused by slight, random differences in the amount each of the two systems are firing.
• Your memory isn't great either-- Studies have shown that people are highly likely to misremember past events. Even worse, it is incredibly easy to suggest a memory that never happened. This is why so-called "repressed" memories should be given a lot of thought. It is far easier to suggest a memory of an event never happened, then it is to recover one that actually did.
• You can perceive depth with one eye-- It's a myth that depth perception is entirely the result of having two eyes. Binocular vision does assist in making a three-dimensional picture. However, most of your ability to perceive depth comes from inside your brain. It has been wired to look at angles and proportions to judge distance.
• Long-term memory shuts down during sleep-- The parts of the brain that transfer information to long-term memory shut down while sleeping. This is why dreams quickly fade away after you wake up. Although you may have several dreams in a night, they aren't being recorded into long-term memory. Generally only the fragments of a dream left in short-term memory have a chance to be encoded after you wake up.
• You have an instant playback feature -- We mentioned that humans have three forms of memory, short-term, long-term and sensory. Sensory memory is your brain's equivalent to an instant playback feature. Working for both your vision and hearing, your thalamus can resend signals a few seconds after they were originally sent.
