How do you rate a year?

One of my coworkers counts how many times he’s out of town in a year and that’s how he measures good years and bad years. This is a run-down of all my trips (so far).

March - Orlando

April - Orlando

June - Bahamas

July - Naples; Manhattan, Kansas; Brooklyn, New York

Aug. - Does a 40-minute road trip to Fort Lauderdale count? I had to rent a car!

Sept. - Athens, GA

7 (or 8) is a pretty decent rating.

“Truth-tellers tend to use more words, bigger words, more complex sentences, more exclusive words (except, but, without, as in the sentence “I think this but not that”), and more I-words (I, me, my, etc.). Liars, apparently, trade in simple, straightforward statements lacking in specificity because it’s actually pretty difficult to make stuff up. They avoid self-reference because they don’t feel ownership of their expressed views.” —The Secret Life of Pronouns by James Pennebaker: What do “I” and “we” reveal about us? - By Juliet Lapidos - Slate Magazine (via myserendipities)

“Gay is not a synonym for shitty. If you wanna say something’s shitty, say it’s shitty. Stop being such homophobic assholes.” —

This pretty much sums up my feeling on the word’s new usage. It’s just plain ignorant, like the n-word. Expland your vocabulary, idiots. There are so many other words that just fit better. -isp
