wow this is like… nostalgia in a way I’d never though I’d see someone make a comic about.  Like if you’ve ever been on a long roadtrip and had to drive through the night, these odd little things are all really familiar.  Very cool.

My family and I used to drive to Montreal from Georgia every year and this takes me back to those times as a child. Now my parents live in Montreal and I drive from Georgia to see them. All these things seem to clear my head, just like they did as a child.

You don't need anyone. Just be...

Baby come save me I'm going crazy without you... Steal me away. These nights just ain't the same... & you can watch me wisely, but I'll turn on a dime. You can try and surprise me... but I've made up my mind & you've known the whole time. I want you beside me. Or we can weight our lines here... Let it drown us, drag us down. Tangled in fear that it won't come around That we've lost what we'd found... Neither of us freer

A post for my fellow impatient Simmers ;)

Alright simmers. It's almost time for the EA press conference at Gamescom! Here are a few of my thoughts on the leaked photos and info that have been stirring up a bunch of conversation as soon they leaked.

First off, people we have less than 24 hours! No need to freak out when we will know the truth here shortly. The Sims creative team has served its fan base extremely well throughout the years and I doubt this time they will disappoint us. Every game has been stylized different. Some people like the Sims 2 better than the Sims 3, and vice versa (however, no one prefers the Sims 1 over the other two - haha). Personally, I will definitely buy the game and am excited to see what EA has in store for us long-time fans. From what I've seen, the new CAS looks like you will have more freedom to create sims that can be either cartoonish or realistic, so everyone stop arguing about which is better and get pumped!! As far as worlds go, I've seen a lot of complaints about it not being as textured as the Sims 3. Reminder: the game is NOT about to be released and they still have a lot of work to do! This includes improving the worlds, the sims, social interactions.. ALL without making the game unplayable because of game speed! If you don't like how it turns out, don't buy it! But by this point everyone should know that the Sims evolves every time, like it or not. We always have our oldies to play! :)

Taliban Commander Urges Malala to Return to Pakistan

A senior Pakistani Taliban commander has written an open letter to the teenage activist shot by Taliban militants, expressing regret about the attack and urging her to return home. In the letter to Malala Yousafzai released Wednesday, Adnan Rasheed said he was shocked by the shooting and wishes it had not happened. However, he said she was not targeted for being a proponent of girls education, but rather for what he called "smearing campaign" against the Taliban. Malala and a classmate were shot while returning home from school in Pakistan's Swat Valley last October, in an attack that brought her campaign for children's education to the global forefront. Rasheed, in his letter, urges the 16-year-old Malala to come back home, adopt the Islamic and Pashtun culture, and join a female Islamic madrassa (religious school). He continues by saying that she should "use her pen... [to] reveal the conspiracy of the tiny elite who want to enslave the whole of humanity." The letter, written in English, was sent to reporters in Pakistan. Malala's father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, told VOA's Deewa service that the family did not receive a copy of the letter and only heard about it through the media.

Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am... I thought if I could touch this place or feel it This brokenness inside me might start healing Out here it’s like I’m someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave Won’t take nothing but a memory From the house that built me

I'm doing awesome with my cigarette intake! I smoked nine yesterday, which may sound like a lot but that is down from a pack/pack and a half a day. Woot! Going to try to go less today.. I've only had one so far and it is 6pm! Night is my bad time though. Craving right now but going to see if drinking water and waiting 30 minutes lessens the craving at all.. if I don't smoke one I may reward myself by going and buying some alcohol (yeah, yeah.. one bad habit at a time folks).

Why do cigarettes have to be bad for you!?

Me? I got my own way to get up, starts with a rocks glass and ends with a hiccup And all the while I've been camouflaging my symptoms.. like I don't do the harder drugs cause I slip up Slip up - yeah that kid slipped up - rehabilitated twice and skipped straight to the pub ... I never claimed to be a saint, shit I built a life off of mishaps.. And cheers proudly to my flaws with a chipped glass The sick fact is I'm happy when I'm shit-canned At least a little bit, I smile like a lit candle But I'm aware that I'm just blinded by the blanket of it And stress doesn't get relinquished just by drinking something And I don't know if I'm addicted to the feeling or the fact that I can make a little exit without thinking of it.. Hell, I guess I'm showing all the signs huh? And redirecting to where alcohol defines fun And I'll admit that I've been known to have a good time, but promised that I'd never cross the line But never learned to draw it, call it, write it with a goal, make it so the night train never gets to go.. I'm as vulnerable as any of you other Joe Shmoe's and got a couple little vices of my own
