Ignorance and the steps taken in overcoming it:

1)You are.

2)You become aware.

3)You become upset.

4)You come to accept.

This is the last straw. It's gone too far. I tried to be understanding when the Yankees bought Jason Giambi from the A's. After all, they were in need of a first baseman and, for all intensive purposes, went out and bought him. I get it. They want to win. Who doesn't? Then they bought Gary Sheffield. From my Braves. They were lacking a ( Read more... )

We've all heard the extremely short version as to why people don't see eye to eye. This ranges from a simple bar conversation with your best buddy to world domination (quite a dichotomy, I know!).

My friend posed an interesting question recently. Actually it was a while ago, I'm just so lazy that I'm just logging it now. She says to me, she says, "people say free will is ( Read more... )

This is an SOS and I want your input on the matter. This could prove to be a healthy exercise. You can thank me later. Here's my deal. I'm sick and tired of people not saying what they mean. One thing is going on in their mind while what comes out of their mouth is different. This leads to future conflict which could have been avoided in the ( Read more... )

I saw a bumper stick (on a car of all things!) in the parking lot at school today. It said "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention ( Read more... )

An excerpt from a paper I'm writing for my class at Western Oregon U. If you know me, you know that I'm not one to brag. But DAMN, I'm good ( Read more... )
