Let’s Extend The Olive Branch

day of peace

Do you know what today is? No, it’s not just the CollegeCandy.com editor’s half birthday – it’s the International Day of Peace! A day where people around the globe come together to reflect on the world peace we (and all those Miss America contestants) yearn for.

In honor of this beautiful day, I started thinking about my own personal wars I’ve been fighting. I’ve held onto a lot of grudges in the past year and I think today is the perfect day to wave the white flag and let them all go. Because there is nothing more freeing than peace.

I’m ready to call a cease-fire and here are a few of my former enemies I’ll be burying the hatchet with today:

The R.A. that stole my fifth of gin. I know I probably shouldn’t have been walking around with it in public. But it was so tiny and bite-sized and it packed such a big punch that I couldn’t bare to part with it. That is until you snatched it from me. I might have gotten a $50 fine, but at least I escaped alcohol poisoning that night. Peace and thank you. Read More »

Here's 10 new weird things to hope you never see in your kitchen
This video about John McCain calling his wife the C-word should insult me.  But it doesn't.  Instead, it makes me laugh (if around others, listen to it with earphones ON)
Sunken cheekbones and coke eyes.  Yes! Totally sexy
AskMen.com probably lied about Billy Bob's weird anti-Angie quotes.  My question is, why make up a story about a celebrity no one cares about?
These girls aren't afraid to look and sound like idiots
Diddy -- or Puff --(f*ck it, I'm making up my own name) DittyPuff likes to wax his "privates" and then smother himself in cologne.

				Go on a $3 Trillion Shopping Spree!

BestWeekEver.tv has brought a site to my attention that gives you $3 Trillion fake dollars to buy anything from a cure for Alzheimer’s, to a secret island fortress (reasonably priced at $15 million) to, yes, World Peace (which has a price, apparently. Who’da thunk?)
Why $3 Trillion, (and yes, that’s a Carl Sagan Trillion with a “T”) you ask? Because that is how much the occupation in Iraq is costing America.
On their website, 3Trillion.org quotes Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz:
“Just counting the zeroes on the $3 trillion price tag of the Iraq War is enough to induce hyperventilation. But what does $3 trillion really mean? It’s difficult even to comprehend a number that big. Well, try filling your shopping cart with what the cost of the Iraq War could buy: healthcare for every American? A new home for every subprime borrower now facing foreclosure? An Ivy League university? You haven’t even gotten started.” Read More »
