regoapps:

Charles Ramsey, the guy who saved the three kidnapped women, is giving up over $25,000 in reward money and giving it to the victims.

Today’s lesson: Be more like this guy. Remind yourself that you’re not the center of the universe. If everyone just put themselves in other people’s shoes instead of only looking out for himself, then perhaps we’d all stop treating each other like crap.

Even if you’re selfish, there’s a reason not to be. Treat others poorly, and they in turn will treat others poorly. This keeps being transferred like a disease until one day it comes back to you and someone treats you poorly. So helping others benefits you as well. The benefits are just not as immediate.

This guy continues to amaze me. That shouldn’t be the case. Well done, Charles Ramsey.

A lesson on why to not get angry (or to try to control it, anyway) :

Often times, the source of the anger resolves itself. I am grateful that I know people with good...

I fucking hate people.

SUPER-SWEET SECOND ANNIVERSARY LUCERO-THEMED DEAR BEN NICHOLS GIVEAWAY!

Hey, y’all! TODAY is Dear Ben Nichols’ SECOND ANNIVERSARY! To celebrate, and to thank you so much for following and sharing the Ben Nichols and Lucero love with us, I decided another giveaway would be in order! In order of the photos pictured above, the prizes are:

An AUTOGRAPHED COPY of Rick Steff’s solo EP, Rick’s Booogie, as well as a digital download. Need I say more?!

A one of a kind Lucero-inspired butterfly woodcut (much like the one pictured above) created by the lovely Bryn Perrott, who designed the EP cover (based on one of her woodcuts, which Ben bought and brings on tour with the band) for Lucero’s Texas and Tennessee.

A lovely print of Ben Nichols and Lucero taken by Nicole Kibert from the always awesome music web site, Suburban Apologist (and sometimes of The Ruckus). The photo was taken on March 9th, 2009 at at New World Brewery in Tampa, FL.

Lucero-inspired, hand-made hair clips created by Angela Kubilus of The Kitschy Cupcake. These were being sold on Lucero merch tables for a while!

A hand-made “Noteworthy Necklace” made by our talented and faithful DBN Contributor Bex Laffar of Faster Than Trouble. (Yes, her site is named after the Lucero song of the same name!) The necklace features a piece of an old music manuscript from a charity shop book, carefully wound in silver-plated wire. It measures two inches long with a chain included.

A painted vinyl record by Valerie Gritsch of Valderie Originals. The LP features a modified white treble-heart clef painted on a black repurposed vinyl record.

TWO DBN buttons, designed and created by Self Destruct Buttons.

A high-resolution/high-quality digital copy of Brian Steffen’s painting of Ben Nichols, emailed to the winner, so that person can print and frame it.
