Things that remind you to be grateful for what you've got Songs, flicks, whatever.
Heard this song that I'd forgotten about on the radio this morning: We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes "Get a job you fucking slob," is all he replies God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll I'm the man you've been dreaming of." But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls." And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner And they call her a whore God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... I've seen a rich man beg I've seen a good man sin I've seen a tough man cry I've seen a loser win And a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie I've seen the good side of bad And the downside of up And everything between I licked the silver spoon Drank from the golden cup And smoked the finest green I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start I knew this kid named Max He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain You know it crumbles that way at least that's what they say when you play the game God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose | |

Everytime I'm at work I'm reminded of how lucky I am for the following:
Good health Positive attitude. Some professionally successful people are cranky, miserable, difficult to work with, who everyone dreads to see walk through the door. You can tell by the look on their face what kind of day it will be. Great buddies who get you through frustrating situations. Secure employment and a job I like. | |

I like how the porn threads pile up to 10 pages within minutes, but only 9 people have bothered to post here.
P.S. I am also grateful for porno! | |

Well, it IS the holidays, when we all take a moment to gather our loved ones and sit in the windowsill with a piping hot mug of mulled cider, reflecting upon the real meaning of the season - things like peace on earth, harmony among all living things, ass-banging anthologies and slow motion bukkake montages. I think Celine Dion said it best: These are special times. Maybe John Waters said it better: Hey little girl, why don't you put your vagina up to the phone? I think we can all relate to those wise words. | |

My hand to a god that may or may not exist, I just spat part of a hot dog on the screen. Maybe John Waters said it better: Hey little girl, why don't you put your vagina up to the phone?
What's that from? | |

What's that from? It spewed forth directly from John Water's Pecker. In one scene, Christina Ricci gets a prank call at her job at a laundromat. The voice of the crank caller was Waters himself, and he asked her to put her vagina to the phone. | |
