  1. Obama sent me an email after the speech. Subject Line: We don’t quit (too legit?)

    Friend —

    I just finished delivering my first State of the Union, and I wanted to send you a quick note.

    We face big and difficult challenges. Change on the scale we seek does not come easily. But I will never accept second place for the United States of America.

    That is why I called for a robust jobs bill without delay. It’s why I proposed a small businesses tax credit, new investments in infrastructure, and pushed for climate legislation to create a clean energy economy.

    It’s why we’re taking on big banks, reforming Wall Street, revitalizing our education system, increasing transparency — and finishing the job on health insurance reform.

    It’s why I need your help — because I am determined to fight to defend the middle class, and special interest lobbyists will go all out to fight us.

    Help me show that the American people are ready to join this fight for the middle class — add your name to a letter to Congress today:

    We have finished a difficult year. We have come through a difficult decade. But we don’t quit. I don’t quit.

    Let’s seize this moment — to start anew, to carry the dream forward, and to strengthen our union once more.

    President Barack Obama

  2. i need some advice.. im not even sure where to begin. ill try to keep this short. my best friend from high school and college has been having a textmance for the last year with a married woman down in florida. we all went to high school together, and ran in different circles, and she was a year younger so we never really hung out or anything.

    anyway, whenever my friend is over him and her text each other NON stop. it’s like non stop flirting. i actually got mad one day, found her number on his phone, called her told her to feed her babies! she was interupting us jersey shore or some other stupid show. of course i told her to feed her babies (she has 2) in a joking way and she took it that way.

    anyway i get a message on facebook from her last night saying that her and her friend want to drive up to brooklyn from florida sometime in february on a sunday and drive back down on monday morning but she asked if her and her friend could stay the night at my place and she asked me to call her today to arrange a date and, this is the weird part, a way to get my friend to come over to my place without him knowing she is going to be there. like a surprise type of a thing.

    there’s also a 99 percent chance (actually almost 100 percent) that my friend is still a virgin.

    what would you do in this situation? am i arranging a hook-up (an extra marital affair!) or am i just reading too much into this. also my friend told me her husband was/is in the military or navy or something like that (scary). i think she was too, but im not sure.

    does this sound sketch to you?

    would it be wrong to tell them they should probably get a motel room? there’s lots of them around where i live right? i dont know what her intentions are but i dont feel comfortable arranging this to happen in my apartment if it’s something gross like her coming over to deflower him or something :-/
