Eminem- “Warning” (Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey Diss) Response To “Obsessed”
SHITTTTTTTTT…………EM went in!!!!!!!!!!! Dude didn’t have to do this lol!
Download link here…
DAAAAAMMMMNNNNNN.
I like Mariah and all, but I think I jizzed in my pants a little over this. I am a super hard core Em fan (circa the Marshall Mathers LP) and I had my doubts that the real slim shady I fell in love with in high school was still around, but this track proves that he is very much alive. Wow. He read her from A to Z and I love it.
Burn.
PS - LOVE how he calls it ‘Warning,’ like ‘mess with me again, heffa, and your photos and voice mails are hitting the blogs.’ <3
DAMN. that’s all I’ve got to say.

“You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden. But you will grow if you are sick, if you are in pain, if you experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose.”
—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (via marjchun) (via kissedbysadness)
“And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging about waiting for something to happen. It gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn’t seem worth starting anything. I can’t settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.”
—C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed (via psychotherapy) (via crazybeautiful)
- Jack: Alfredo. 2 PM?
- Liz: I'm not dressed for that.
- Jack: You're dressed for Burger King. Should we make it Burger King?
“You know what I want? I want to be someone’s reason for waking up, someone’s reason for going through another day. Just once, I want to be the one being wished for, I want a guy to say to himself, ‘I’m so lucky to have her.’ To put it simply, I want to be someone’s everything.”
—Erin Michelle (via marjchun) (via kissedbysadness) (via nevermine) (via letterboxlove) (via lovebot)
“I need that job, and I hate like hell that I do, but I need it. And I’m not working there because I need an allowance. I’m paying for a mortgage and putting food on the table and buying clothes for three kids. But I don’t think you’d even understand that. I don’t think you understand anything. You’re not grown up enough, yet, to understand that your life doesn’t always turn out the way you plan it to be, and sometimes you end up doing stuff you thought you’d never do in a million years, but you still have to do it ‘cause there’s nothing else you can do.”
—Roseanne, Roseanne (via tvquotes)
“A lot of younger women seem to go for older men. This isn’t a fad, this is because men in their twenties are like Elmo. They’re fun and cute but they’re kind of annoying and ultimately confused. I’m sorry, are you bothered by my generalization? THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP MAKING IT TRUE.”
—Favorite new blog Apocalypstick Found thanks to Arod! (via gmoneyknows) (via junglejustine) (via kara) (via hautelikecouture)
“I wanted to do shoes which are really just shoes for seduction. For pleasure. For sex. That’s it. A shoe, you cannot run, you cannot even walk. You want to run in your shoes? Buy sneakers.”
—Christian Louboutin (via hautelikecouture) (via allthingsalishan)
“Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with, and love shouldn’t be one of them.”

“He was a teacher of geometry. He always said: ‘You must consider every angle.’”
—Helen Hayes, Airport (via thoughtsdetained)
“Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the Horizon as the end of the ocean.”

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the sea.”

Today, my friends had ditched me for a party I hadn’t been invited to so I was sitting home alone. The only other thing in my house was the mosquito I nicknamed Fred. I liked to watch Fred fly around and try to suck my blood. 20 minutes later, I found Fred’s dead body. I was actually sad. FML
“Love is missing someone whenever you’re apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you’re close in heart.”

“If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition, or spirit, to save you from heartache.”

So Much (The Spill Canvas)
How does it feel to know you’re everything I need
The butterflies in my stomach
They could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know you’re everything I want
I’ve got a hard time saying this
So I’ll sing it in a song
Oh I adore the way you carry yourself
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt
When we become one
“… you and I are alike, and there will come a moment when you have the chance to show it, to do the right thing …”

15 Books
15 Books I know I’m a little late to the “15 Books that Changed Your Life” party (so my apologies, but I forgot who blogged it first in order to give you credit!), but as someone who loves to read, I thought it was still worth a go. Rules: list 15 books that changed your life/outlook or made you think. You only have 10 minutes max. Here we go: And I only have 3; Nothing Serious by Justine Levy, Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, and the Harry Potter Serious by JK Rowling.
Today, my cell phone was stolen. I work in a morgue. By myself. Obviously it wasn’t stolen by any of those people. FML
“Do you know what dining at IKEA at night feels like? It feels like I imagine those isolated roadside American diners feel like; lonely, sad, filled with regret and populated with but a few scattered souls, all sharing the same emotion. Except Daim cake is involved and The B-52s are playing over the PA.”
—Me, last night in a text sent to Nick. (via semisetadrift) (via unicornology)
“Leighton was really talented and really funny. That was one of the big reasons we loved her and wanted her for the part. She really embodies the tone of the show as an actress, the way she delivers the dialogue, and her character, and that relationship with Chuck. I think if you distill the show into its core essence, it would probably be that.”
—Josh Schwartz, iTunes, 2009. (via meesterbate) (via fuckyeahuppereastsiders)
"I just wake up each day in a slightly different place. Grief is like a moving river. I'm at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse."
Michelle Williams.
Agreed, Michelle. Agreed
“We discussed the fact that I’m cooped up here instead of experiencing the whole wide world, you know, plowing my own acres, going around shirtless all day, you know, experiencing freedom.”
—Dwight Schrute, The Office (via brothersport) (via tvquotes)
“Have you felt it too? Have you seen how your best friends love everything about you - except the things that count? And your most important is nothing to them; nothing, not even a sound they can recognize.”
—Ayn Rand (The Fountainhead) (via thresca) (via thechosenwords)
30 ROCK
- Tracy: Yeah yeah yeah, I like risky. See, me and you, we play the game. We know how to be acceptable. Hello great meeting, I drink coffee please. This show is our chance to break the shackles cause the white dudes want to see us fail.
- Liz: What white dudes?
- Tracy: All of 'em. Jack Donaghy. General Electric. George Bush. Karl Robe.
- Liz: Karl Robe, you say?
- Tracy: Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets. That's a metaphor.
- Liz: Sure.
“A few days later, President Obama said the police acted stupidly. Big mistake! A president should never get involved in a local, city-specific issue. President Bush never did, no matter how flooded a city got.”

there is a risk everytime you open your eyes or your inbox. check your voicemail just to feel like someone called. but how many empty messages do you have to hear before you realize no one is calling.
he isn’t calling.
