I love being known

Tina described me as:

"...a woman whose mind moves not unlike a Wham-O SuperBall thrown into a small room by an extremely hyperactive 7-year-old boy named Darren who is all hopped up on Mountain Dew and Smarties."

I have to tell you -- especially when I'm very excited about something -- this description is spot on. Also, "Darren" in this context made me SNORT!

English majors: rejoice!

I agree with Hansol. This is hilarious, and must be instituted as "required use" immediately.

Please enjoy. Be sure to refresh to experience all the brilliance that is Defective Yeti.

Small words. Big wisdom.

A Buddha was famous for being able to maintain his serenity. It was said that he could not be provoked. One man decided that this could not be true, and so set out to prove that he could provoke him. Day after day, he teased and taunted and tried to provoke the Buddha to become angry or, at least, annoyed. When the Buddha failed to respond, the man finally said to him, "How can it be that you have not become angry or annoyed with me?"

The Buddha replied, "If someone offered you a gift, and you chose to not accept that gift, to whom would the gift belong?"

"Well," said the man, "the gift would remain the property of the giver."

"Exactly." said the Buddha.

Memo from God

A sweet friend of mine sent me this today, and, though I've seen it before, I still love it. Even when things don't feel simple, we can still be of simple faith when we choose to. Trite? Probably. But a good reminder that God carries our school pictures around in his wallet to show off to all his friends.

On moving forward

A song for us girls, just when we need it. We've all needed it. (Emphasis mine.)

Written by Sam Tate, Annie Tate, and Rivers Rutherford
Recorded by Chely Wright

Shut up and drive
You don't know what you're talking about
He's not the one
You ought to know that by now
You've got one of those hearts
That keeps changing your mind
Your heart has a way of making you stay
So shut up and drive

Don't look in the mirror
He might have that look in his eyes
The one thats so strong
It strangles your will to survive
He's mastered the art
Of looking sincere
His eyes have a way of making you stay
Don't look in the mirror

I'm the voice you never listen to
And I had to break your heart to make you see
That he's the one who will be missing you
And you'll only miss the man
That you wanted him to be

Turn the radio on
To drown out the sound of goodbye
Blink back the tears
Show me you've still got your pride
Just get yourself lost
In a sad country song
Those guys that they play
Know just what to say
Turn the radio on.

I'm the voice you never listen to
And I had to break your heart to make you see
That he's the one who will be missing you
And you'll only miss the man
That you wanted him to be


Shut up and drive
Don't look in the mirror
Turn the radio on
Get out of here
Shut up and drive
Shut up and drive
Shut up and drive
