I Got My MTV
MTV has launched a website featuring basically every music video ever. Well, okay, not really, but it's a whole lot of them. Now if they'd scrap all this "Hills" nonsense and just go back to playing these puppies 24-7, then I might consider watching their network again.
Ten Fascinating Final Pictures
I try not to make too big a deal on this website about my fascination with death, but this list of ten last photographs taken - both BY and OF people who faced mortality imminently thereafter (sometimes by mere seconds) - was too good not to share.
Where the Thunder Comes Dribbling Down the Plains - New York Times
A great, in-depth story about how the Seattle SuperSonics became the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite the author's suggestion that perhaps Tulsa (yeah right) would've made a more "natural" fit for the NBA, he does a great job of showing how our city rose to this challenge.
Proposition 8 Made Me Quit The Mormon Church
A fascinating and somewhat heartbreaking story about a women who lost her faith watching her co-congregants rally around Proposition 8.
Oxford University Podcasts
Ever want to attend a class at England's Oxford University? Well, this is probably as close as you - or I - will ever get.
In Ireland they told us, “If someone has sinned against you, tell them.” Everyone went for Mya. I felt grievously wronged, but decided she’d had enough.
You know, it wasn’t any one thing in particular; it was a bunch of stuff. She kind of just belittled me a lot. She was a very nice, kind person at times, but without meaning to she really hurt my feelings on several occasions and seemed to go out of her way from time to time to make me feel left out or inadequate. Honestly, much of it was probably just as much of my insecurity as her actions, but I felt we should’ve had a conversation about it.
Apparently, however, she had also wronged several other people on our team, and after about six or seven of them took her outside to confront her about it, I just felt like the more compassionate thing to do would just be to let it go.

beautiful compassionate post … though I desperately want to know what Mya did!
