depends on whatever i find first in the morning.
Combs are more portable but brushes tend to get the job done quicker for me.

loving English class.
I'm not an English kind of guy. I don't know what the forget I was doing. I decided to opt for an AP english class and I forgeted myself in the process.
Everything in it is such a pile of bullstuff. All the way down. The way the curriculum is laid out, it tries to put objective parameters on subjective subjects - like morality, individuality, etc. It seems to assume that things like that are completely quantifiable. Symbolism, themes, allegories, forget. What if the writer of a story was literally just writing a story? Ray Bradbury did that a lot. Yet, for some reason, it's trying to teach me how to read. I know how to loving read. They have taken every single possible step to make a great subject - literature - as BORING as possible for the benefit of absolutely nothing. Showing a class full of freshmen segments from Macbeth is not going to help them understand the intricacies of human psychology, it's going to bore them to death and make them lose interest real fast. Reading 'the classics' does not make me understand feminism in the Victorian era in a deeper way, it makes me waste my time reading something that I could much easier be told simply without digging through the archaic English writing and spending time making reading a chore. Well loving guess what, not everyone listens to classical music anymore. Listening to Beethoven does not make me understand the troubles he had in his life, it makes me think "oh, this is a rather nice piece of music."
They say you should stop reading a book when reading becomes a chore. Well, whoop-dee-forgetin'-doo, it's a chore EVERY SINGLE time they assign me a book. And no, it's not one novel to read, it's loving six. Oh, and on top of all of this, if I fail an English class, that squanders any opportunity of getting into the college I want to.
Why can we just not take stuff at face value instead of extrapolating some tiny obscure phrase in some part of a novel so far out of proportion it becomes ridiculous? Oh, and then TESTING over it! And if you don't agree with your teachers' interpretation, you get the forgetin' shaft.
This stuff really gets me fired up. It's one of the few things that does.
forget.

I know a man named Lakshya pronounced 'La-keesha.'
He's admitted that pronunciation was the intent of the name, but he doesn't like it, and says he wants to be called lock-shay.

Son - George (because that's how pretty much every guy in my family has been named. I'm like the seventh.)
Daughter - Elizabeth, Victoria
I don't want to give them some weird name to be angsty about later.
Plus, monarchs.
