AppId is over the quota

Oh God, this headline again? Kanye West Another Epic Rant He's Crazy, bla! Bla! Bla! So he's had a few angry outbursts at the paparazzi. So he's proclaimed himself God a time or two. I'm sure he meant that metaphorically, and anyway, at least he's never boring. But it's gotten to the point now where any time Kanye says anything with passion, we have to go and call it a rant. Like this speech he gave at a listening party in Brooklyn. Okay, he's shouting, and he admits he's just had some Grey Goose. But it's not a rant. It's a sermon, people! Can't you tell he's preaching? Let's hear what he has to say.
To summarize, don't just make music for money. Make good music out of love and you'll turn out your best work. Don't be a sellout. Putting numbers on the back of a shirt makes for inferior design. Camouflage prints are so over.
Okay, he lost me with the numbers on shirts bit. And yeah, that part about making money is a bit rich coming from someone who's gotten, you know, rich off making music. But I get his point. Kanye has a history of struggling with record companies to protect his artistic vision. Maybe he's overly intense and his behavior is often inappropriate, but my sense is that he's totally sincere about trying to make the best music he possibly can and not caring as much about what's going to sell or be a huge hit.
Anyway, you know if this were a clean-cut white guy in a button-up yelling on an actual wooden soapbox at a country club luncheon in a romantic comedy, people would be up on their chairs clapping. "W00T Skip (as played by Ryan Reynolds) you tell it to your stuffy corporate lawyer father-in-law!" But it's Kanye, so we have to dismiss him as a drunken clown. All he's doing here is encouraging his fellow artists to do their best work.
What do you think of Kanye's speech, rant, whatever this is?

Every month, I cringe a bit when I see the funds coming out of our account that automatically go into our children's college savings funds. It's not much when you look at the soaring price of higher education, but it feels like a lot when there are so many other things to pay for in our daily lives, and things I would much rather spend money on than their college education.
The kids are finally heading back to school, but -- little busybodies that they are -- they’re still itching for things to do between soccer practices and playdates. And since you’re sick of seeing them glued to old iCarly episodes and playing Candy Crush on your iPad, here are 3 inexpensive ways to get them off the couch.
Jennnifer Aniston may be headed for heartbreak all over again. She hasn't always been lucky in the romance department. Her marriage to Brad Pitt famously crashed and burned after he fell for his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie. However, we fans had hoped she'd found The One in fiance Justin Theroux. But if the latest reports are to be believed, 
A new study has revealed that there is a very simple equation to making more money: More Sex= More happiness= More Money. Yes, indeed. The study found that 
When it comes to furnishing and buying things for the home, we all have different tastes and styles. Me, I'm more into clean lines and neutrals with that splash of bright color to make things pop. Whether or not you and I have similar tastes in decor, I think there is one thing we can agree on: If you don't need to splurge, then keeping costs down is the ideal. Especially on some typically expensive home items.
Instead of asking, "Does she color her hair at home or doesn't she?" what we should be asking is, "Does she spend a fortune on that dye job -- or does she know the trick to saving at the salon?"
When it comes to my family, I'm an open book. We've gotten to the point now where we've stopped judging each other's lifestyles ... well, for the most part. By now we've all done some pretty wild stuff, and nothing surprises my mother anymore. When it comes to money and budgeting, though, forget it. I'm not spilling anything. But why? What is it about money that feels so private to me?
