Names omitted to protect the guilty

i need to hear "i'm sorry"
to feel your arms wrapped around me

i need to see the love in your eyes
comfort me, goddamn it!

i need to know i matter
even if it's only illusion

give me that much
tell yourself it's only pretend

i don't care if you lie
fake it if you have to

i just need you to be there for me
once in a while

Guys...

Is it so hard to say "I'm sorry...?"

Seriously, you don't even have to mean it. I just need to hear it.

Lie to me for fuck's sake!!!

$2 Will Buy You Redemption

She brought in $2 today. Actual bills, not change.

That's better than what she probably dug out of her couch.

That's better than nothing.

Selfish Bitches

My company is taking up a collection to donate to the Red Cross for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. I went around asking my employees if they wanted to contribute.

Some did.

Others said they didn't have any cash but would bring some tomorrow.

One said she didn't have any money at all.

I told her pocket change would help. (One employee gave me eighteen cents.)

The company is going to match whatever the employees come up with so every little bit counts.

She still resisted.

I told her to go home, take the cushions off her couch, dig out the change she could find (no matter if it was only pennies) and bring that to me tomorrow.

She said that change goes to her "honeymoon fund."

How fucking selfish can you be? These people have nothing.

I didn't relent. I made her feel guilty; explained in detail all the stories I had heard on the news.

We'll see what happens...

Hurricane Katrina

If your ass is lucky enough to SURVIVE a storm of this magnitude, you're not trapped somewhere, and you're not stranded on your roof praying for a boat to pass by...then you should be HELPING to rescue those less fortunate than you are, not stealing fucking DVD players!!! And if you can't find it in your heart to help someone other than yourself, get the fuck out of the way of those who DO want to help- don't shoot them! Assholes.
