My nearly six-foot-tall twenty-two-year-old cousin—the beauty queen we nicknamed Naomi Campbell—who says that she is hungry and has been sleeping in bushes with dead bodies nearby, stops me.
“Don’t cry,” she says. “That’s life.”
“No, it’s not life,” I say. “Or it should not be.”
“It is,” she insists. “That’s what it is. And life, like death, lasts only yon ti moman.” Only a little...

So the fact that they’re saying it is, and the audio said it was, anyone could have made it and said that they’re Bin Laden, since there wasn’t a video...

The story about the generosity of Baltimore’s homeless made me happy, so I’m going to end my night thinking about how awesome people can be.
Lesson of the Day: Be good to one another, even when it’s not expected of you.

Your idea of perfect happiness?
I think I’ve asked everyone this question because it’s my favorite thing to ask people and y’all give some great answers. (If I haven’t asked you this, consider this me asking now.) And here’s a follow up question:
