For the past year or so things in my life have hit a steep decline. I don't feel any pity for myself, life happens to everyone, I just wonder if I'm making a choice that will further that decline or not. My parents decided to split, and, this is my fault on this, so did my grades. By the time senior year ended, my grades were terrible, as apposed to the 3.6 average th
wow, some news is just too much to handle.
I guess I'm just one of the guys who dislikes seeing everything so commercialized. And this will be my 19th year alone on this particular day. Ah well, I'll just go running with my dog.
I don't get it. It's two weeks away and already girls are chatting about it like christmas. I'm trying to go into hiding as the lace and big red hearts make their way into all the stores. What I'm wondering is why it's such a huge deal. Why are girls so worried about having a valentine or not, and why do they think they have a right to be desperate and picky. j/k, kin
ahhh, VW's, love for the driver. I drive a 93 v6 passat with a broken sunroof, stick of course, and I've never even looked at another car. You have to start it at least once every two days, I just fixed the brake lights and when it rains outside, a little comes in to let me know. It's something about em, something that makes the drivers always fondly think back, something that makes all the little quirks just more personable. It's a pity we all can't
I know it's hard to trust, my father wasn't exactly a prize catch either. He was the usually come home drunk angry dad, and I hid from him like my life depended on it, and it did. The thing is, he changed, and I never would have thought that possible. I got to learn a very valuable lesson firsthand, and it's only right that you know. Everyone can be trusted to a certain degree. You trust that your father will continue to be a bad example, and thats a
When the government starts screwing with it's own citizens, it is the time for major reform. " That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, having its foundation on such principles and organizin
As a kid my grandfather and I would always play chess together, now I'm a fairly decent player. The best way to get better at chess is to sit down and play with another person. When the game is over point out the mistakes that the other player made, and have him/her do the same. It's just like everything else in life, practice is everything.
It's sad to see people doing everything they can do to change something, when they don't understand what the outcome will be. Just think what would happen if people could travel through time to change events, what a mess that would be, especially if they were liberal. *wink wink*.
It's always important to be reminded of the little things that we are blessed with.
Ever since I was a little kid, I had to have, "my special place". No one else knew where it was, it was mine alone. It was solitary, letting me think and reflect, and now I have to find a new one. I had two during highschool, the loft in my barn and a part of the roof that wasn't visible to the road or driveway. I could escape and think, but now I'm at a loss.Five acr
Just in case anyone was wondering I did end up apologizing, not for what I said, but for how I said it. Everyone deserves to hear things in a fair way, and I did cross the line. Chalk one up for life experience.
wow, high tempers over politics... who would have guessed?
I think we all have days like this. Don't take it too hard, everyone loses it once in awhile, as for your boss, hell, you just can't fix stupid.
I lost my cool the other day. I'm usually a really laid back guy, slow to anger and to speak, which is why this out burst surprised me. I just found out that I had been lied to. Not in the little way, but in that painful, grasping your stomach choking on words and furiously blinking way. I've been lied to before, call it a family tradition, but this just completely ca
As long as you keep the good subjects coming, we'll all keep reading, and from where I'm standing, I think you have plently left to talk about.
There is hope for everyone!

I can't think of any mistake in my life that I would change, for one reason alone. I learned lessons from every one, and I wager you learned quite a lesson with yours also. Mistakes are just corrections on bad choices in the future.
It's surprising to me that there is any doubt that something on the internet wouldn't be found. I hate to say it, but there are ten year olds who are faster on the web than me, and I'm a computer baby, true I grew up on dos and 3.1, but still. The internet belongs to kids mostly now, everyone has got to realize that if you want to keep it private, don't post it!
Thomas Moore wrote once, "No, there's nothing half so sweet in life, As young love's dream." I love this quote, it sums up love for me. Simple, unexpecting love. Innocent love, young love's dream. It is love for the sake of love itself, but how is a person supposed to know what real love is? When does the difference come between the unconditional love that a child giv
When ever I was to be punished as a child my mother generally handled it, and by handling it, she smacked me to next week and back with a wooden spoon. I'm not mad about this, actually I'm grateful for it. When I got into real trouble, the famous phrase that held so much fear for me was unleashed, "just wait until your father gets home!" gasp!
Believe it or not I think there still might be hope for this kid yet. While he will continue to make the life of his peers hell throughout highschool, when he hits college, there will be a mighty wake up call. I've seen countless kids that think they are all that, bomb, and learn that friends can't be bought. It may be nice to be financially set, but it's a bummer to be lonely.
haha, a great three step plan. I've had many that strongly resemble it actually.
There is no substitute for the original way. Diet and exercise, funny how we all try to do things the easy way, and just end up waisting time that could have been used doing it the tried and true way. Glad to hear it's working for you.
Unhappy as I am to say this as a majority, it is partially our fault this happened. In any other country, in any other time in history, you don't see the conquering army apologizing to the people they just defeated. To the victor go the spoils! That is the way of both nature and mankind. It is when the victor starts giving the loser special privileges that the tides begin to turn. We have become captives and servants in our own country, imprisoned by
