So, I'm single. I've been single for quite awhile. For the most part it's been good, but I'm ready for it to be over ( Read more... )

I was at my grandparents' house the other day, and they gave me some old pictures that they had found lying around. Some of them were of me and my ex. It really struck me - first of all that I still have a strong emotional response to seeing her face, and second of all that I had almost forgotten what she looks like. Of course there was some ( Read more... )

Here's a question. How often is it that any of you have feelings for just one person? Since I've been dating, I think that's only ever happened to me once. That was Junior year of college, for about 6 months, the only time I think I've ever been in love. But eventually that faded as well, and I started looking at and having feelings for other ( Read more... )

Ok, here's a post.

I can't figure out to do with my life. Not because I don't know what I'm good at, not because I don't know what I like to do, but because there's too much that I want to do. For those of you who don't know, I'm really into personality psychology. According to the Meyers-Briggs Temperament Indicator, I'm an INFP. Not a lot of ( Read more... )

Maybe my post yesterday was a bit too early - it appears that the latest polls show that Kerry has caught up to Bush in a big way since the first debate. After the RNC, Bush had an 11 point lead in the Newsweek poll, but the latest one shows 47-45 in Kerry's favor. The poll has a 4% margin of error, so statistically it's a dead heat ( Read more... )

I'm starting to feel a bit disillusioned. It looks like Bush is still ahead in the polls, even though he is as sharp as a bag of wet hair. Kerry proved in the first debate that he has the intelligence, the character and the leadership ability to make an outstanding president, and our current one can do nothing besides instill fear and spread lies ( Read more... )

So, I'm getting kind of upset at all of the political bashing that I've been witnessing lately. I went to the bookstore, and in the politics section there were such titles as "John Kerry eats babies", "George Bush is the love child of Satan and Alice Cooper", and "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot" (I didn't even have to make that last one up).

Another benefit of living on the beach near a gaggle of bars and clubs is that you get to see packs of single, young, heterosexual males interact with the general public. Tonight one of them tried to guess my name. He said I was "Peter". I felt mildly offended ( Read more... )

Let me set the scene for you: the Friday before the fourth of July, hundreds of drunk frat boys and sorority girls lining the sidewalks of my beach community. I come back to my little apartment that sits about 100 or so feet from the ocean. It has some happy flower beds hidden from the sidewalk by a nice, white picket fence. But as I walk up, I ( Read more... )

There are plenty of things in this world that people do that only matter on the aggregate level, but one person doing or not doing this thing doesn't change the outcome or the state of the world. One of these things is voting ( Read more... )
