(thank you internet for helping me figure out how to incorporate derby and sharks into one poster)

Dawwwwww! Even the baby octopus is cute!
Good Design adds value of some kind, gives Meaning and not incidentally, can be sheer pleasure to behold. It respects.
Robots—especially the ones out to destroy humankind—do seem to inspire some of the best movie posters. You can get prints of these classics from my Amazon store, The Giftbot Shop.
I love me some robots :D <3
I have goals to be really good at derby and too be a good athlete which includes eating well, being fit, and just awesome derby awesomeness. So made a public journal that I will keep up on to hold me accountable. I will share the fun stuff I find to help with working out and also workouts and such that I find helpful to reach my goals. So follow if you’d like.. or not. It’s up to you :)
The more weight I lose the more self conscious I get. Instead of thinking “You look so much better than before!” I think “You are still so fat”.
It’s making it real hard to flirt with guys when I keep thinking “what’s the point. They don’t want to date me cuz they can get thinner prettier girls.” because we all know “thin = pretty” (sarcasm voice).
Remember how you were married, had a boyfriend, have had lovers when you were 40lbs heavier? Back then it was “Yeah I’m fat but I’ll let them choose if they want me or not”. Now I have this crazy idea that I need to wait until I’m skinny to date and ruining any possibilities I have now.
Get over it and flirt like a normal person again!
Fuck.
My first tattoo, and I’m absolutely in love with it. The ampersand is representative of my love for words, language and typography. Done by Des at Cherry Blossom Studios in Fayetteville, NC.
Great idea!
You can’t be the loser if you look good.
My god, how I miss talking to you late at night as we laid in bed with me nuzzled closely to your side.
The Ghosts of World War II by Sergey Larenkov
Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.
Actually it was an amazing weekend!
Saw friends I hadn’t seen in forever and helped them move, made progress on my bedroom (closer to one day being fully unpacked), celebrated a good friends birthday with delicious food, played a game this weekend and we won (not to mention the other team was full of awesome women and can’t wait to see them on their home turf), am almost done with season 1 of game of thrones, and have many things planned out (like workout routine, food routine and bedroom furniture). I did get cockblacked by a friend (not awesome) BUT I think it might still play out okay.
The weekend has re-energized and focused me for the gym, the work week, and camping this weekend. Now if only I can get my ass to sleep by 10pm the rest of this week that would be awesome.
The amazing thing about roller derby is that there is no ideal body type. “I’m five foot nothing, and weigh 90 pounds, I couldn’t play roller derby.” Are you kidding me? As a jammer, you’re going to be untouchable! “I’m over six feet tall and built like a brick shit-house, I could never keep up with some of those skaters”. And just what do you think the chances are of somebody being able to knock you down? In roller derby, every physical attribute you possess brings something to the table. If you’re short, you can squeeze through tiny holes. If you’re tall, you can take up the entire track with your plow. If you’re a feather weight, you’ll learn to bounce between blockers and off the floor like you’re comprised entirely of Silly Putty. If you’ve got a solid build, you will send skaters flying, and be able to withstand just as much.
