This idea is pretty much completely ripped off from The Book of Awesome. But it’s so worth it. We should all learn to appreciate the little things in life and live by it - hence “smell the roses”.

1) The “skin” on hot milk 

2) Sales - of any kind

3) The smell after it rains

4) Online-ordered clothes fitting perfectly

5) Finishing a bottle of shampoo (or conditioner)

6) Pigging-out and not gaining a pound

7) Toes spreading apart in the sand

8) Getting a new high score

9) Sore hand after writing an exam

10) Smell of new books

11) Reading under the sun

12) Nice salespeople

13) The colour purple - and all its shades

From the article: Which College Majors Pay Best?

“Wages tend to be high for engineers and low for elementary education majors, suggesting that perhaps much of the wage differences between majors are due to differences in mathematical ability and high school course work,” the authors write.

Shitty Day - Soko

Interesting song. Everything about this song is nice except the lyrics…There’s something not so pleasant about enunciated swearing in songs (even though “shitty” is hardly a swear word anymore). Reminds me of Lilly Allen’s F You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8VZX4sHn-4&ob=av2e (actually a lot of her songs). But the video is interesting.

The Final Words of Texas’ Death Row Offenders Made Visual

by Trent Gilliss, senior editor

The poet Elizabeth Alexander once asked, “What if the mightiest word is love?”

For the 280 men and one woman executed in Texas between 2000 and 2012, “love” was the mightiest word — by an overwhelming margin, with three out of five saying the word in their last living moments.

Dylan C. Lathrop and GOOD created this graphic with a word cloud generated from the offenders’ final thoughts shortly before they were put to death. The word “love” was used by 173 of the 281 people. That’s more than 60 percent. Nearly half of them mentioned religion in some form, using “God” and “Jesus” and “Lord,” to name a few. And note the petitions of prayer, expressions of apology and notions of family are present in their minds. Some were silent, others were defiant — and I’m guessing that’s why “warden” shows up so prominently.

Wow. Words are all they have left.
