“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F.

And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Can You Run As Fast or Faster Than Ryan Hall?

Think you can keep pace with an elite marathoner?  Back in November, Asics dared anyone to race their ad.  

For the 2011 New York City Marathon, Asics wanted fans to truly experience a champion marathoner's 26.2 mile pace so they installed a 60-foot video wall and challenged people passing by to race Olympic marathoner, Ryan Hall for just 60 feet.  

Pretty cool stuff.

Hot damn he's fast! And he run that fast for 26.2 miles?!! F*&k that. I may consider myself healthy...ish, and in somewhat better shape then the average American, but there's no way in hell you're gonna get my ass at speeds like that unless I'm running for my life. Unless the prize for beating Ryan Hall is....Ryan Hall. :) Eh, forget it. I'm too lazy for that. Where's a tranquilizer gun when you need it?
