We’re The Kids In America
I saw three teenage girls looking at the shirts that have sayings (”Can’t sleep, the clowns will eat me” “I’m no longer a danger to society” “I’m lost. Please take me home with you?” etc.). Here is the disturbing part. They had trouble reading them. Allow me to try to demonstrate:
“I’m… uh… no… uh… longer [...]
Field Of Broken Hearts
Tonight, my friend said to me:
“I have broken three hearts in the last couple of weeks…”
I really want to look at this. I also really want to briefly give you a glimpse into my views on love and relationships.
So, my first argument is that to have a “broken heart,” you must love. The term broken [...]
Hiding Behind A Name
I have decided that people need to use their real names with emails where they are stating their views or their position on something. If you have something to say, say it! But I think that you should only say something that you do not have a problem with your name attached to. I don’t [...]
What I Really Said Is…
I have a very particular writing style. To some people, this is very neat. It is enjoyable. To some people, it’s annoying because they just do not get what I am saying.
So, here is what you can expect. Something almost always sets me off. Some words or some ideas are a catalyst to other ideas [...]
Personal Psychologist
This statement really struck me, and here is why. This was said with a little bit of humor, it was also said with a little bit of truth. It is also a poignant comment on our society and the way people communicate with their friends, or lack thereof.
Why do people have friendships if they do [...]
Social Norms
Interesting, huh?
I kind of like it. It makes me look dead sexy.
I think…
Anyways, here’s the deal. The other day I went out to lunch with my good friend Bao and we were discussing myself and social normals.
“You never follow the social norms’…”
She tells me this. So, I stop and think. I think I follow the [...]
Blame It On The (Alcoholic) Rain…
Alcohol is amazing to me, because people use alcohol as an excuse just as bad as Christian’s use Christ. I am not saying anything against drinking, per se, because I think there is a time and a place for most anything (if you want it), but it becomes a problem when it is: in excess, [...]
I’m So Wet…
I just got back from a 110 mile round trip drive in the rain.
I love driving in the rain.
I hate driving around other people in the rain.
It’s really amazing what a little bit of water can do to people’s ability to drive–or even live. For reference, I live in Southern California, where it does not [...]
The Cult Of Eve
The Bible has shaped and influenced a lot of American culture and society.
The stories can be shown to affect thoughts, actions, perceptions, and more in people around us. I find it interesting when I pick up a copy of Weekly World News (I love it!) and find an article entitled “Bad Girls of the Bible?” [...]
Get The Hell Out Of My Way!
The actions people do have so little forethought and so little reason to them, I often wonder why anyone even bothers.
Today, I was waiting at a left turn light. I was behind about six cars and there were about four behind me. The light turned green, and the front car did not move. We waited. [...]
