You know you can always refinance your mortgage....
Michael: Yeah, well, you know what? Nobody cares about your stupid beet farm. Beets are the worst.
Dwight: People love beets.
Michael: Nobody likes beets.
Dwight: Everybody loves beets.
Michael: Nobody likes beets, Dwight. Why don't you grow something that everybody does like? You should grow candy. I'd love a piece of candy right now. Not a beet.

So I'm only gonna say this once, but it's been
on my mind a bit since everyone’s been talking about it. And I get it, it’s almost Christmas time and all of those “best of 09” and “best of the decade” lists are coming out and you’re most likely looking at yourself and saying “Hey, this is not ideal. There are some things I wish were different,” and I get that — truly — but you really can’t blame it on 09.

Just a midnight attempt from a few nights ago
It’s the way you feel when you lie in bed in the chill recesses of the morning, sadistically recalling times in which you were hurt and bruised and fell from the arms of your Father into those of someone who would only come to forget your face down the road. It causes you to lose your focus and run towards moments in time that have held you back for months, possibly even years. You’re at a...
