So a blog about a man who took Polaroids of his life every day from 1979 to 1997 has surfaced and the photos are really silencing.

In Gori, Georgia, the Russian soldiers are still not acting right. Maybe they’re pissed that President Medvedev called a cease fire yesterday so now they’re looting and stripping residents of everything at gun point upon their entering the city. War… Huh!

Remember that story about the girls in Gloucester, Mass. that made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together (silly girls, you’re just supposed to practice getting baby making, not actually make the baby).
