Oh god. Some kid from home won the TV karaoke contest called American Idol and now everyone is flipping out about how proud they are of this kid no one ever gave two shits about before he was on TV. My Facebook is nothing but stuff like this.

I fell in love with this building. The roof fell first.

I found this little town called Bishopville, South Carolina. It reminded me of my hometown in nearly every way. I love these small, decaying Southern towns. They all feel like home and I want to live in every one of them at the same time. I forgot my real camera so I used my phone camera to snap pics. These are the non-Instagramed versions of the pictures. I don’t really know how to “take pictures.” Maybe someone could give me tips about framing shots & stuff?

If there is a “war on marriage,” why not ban divorce instead of barring people from getting married?

No Women on Congress' Birth Control Panel
Is there anything else that needs to be said about that fucked up farce and waste of tax-payer money that happened today in DC?
Well duh, that might show bias.

Tampa GOP Debate, Tonight
Ron Paul killed it tonight, but unfortunately did not score in the top three on an online poll by nbc?
I’m wondering why so many people are behind Newt Gingrich.
Because Newt is proof to all the shit heads that you can be a total shit head and still advance your position in the world. He is hope for all the people who are ruining this country.

It must be tough for Republicans to love America so much but hate almost three-quarters of the people living in it.

In 1919, De Beers experienced a drop in diamond sales that lasted for two decades. So in the 1930s it turned to the firm N.W. Ayer to devise a national advertising campaign—still relatively rare at the time—to promote its diamonds. Ayer convinced Hollywood actresses to wear diamond rings in public, and, according to Edward Jay Epstein in The Rise and Fall of the Diamond, encouraged fashion designers to discuss the new “trend” toward diamond rings. Between 1938 and 1941, diamond sales went up 55 percent. By 1945 an average bride, one source reported, wore “a brilliant diamond engagement ring and a wedding ring to match in design.” The capstone to it all came in 1947, when Frances Gerety—a female copywriter, who, as it happened, never married—wrote the line “A Diamond Is Forever.” The company blazoned it over the image of happy young newlyweds on their honeymoon. The sale of diamond engagement rings continued to rise in the 1950s, and the marriage between romance and commerce that would characterize the American wedding for the next half-century was cemented. By 1965, 80 percent of American women had diamond engagement rings.

[For an interesting demonstration of cultural production, please see the DeBeer’s Website for their version of the history of the engagement ring.]
