So. Welcome to me trying to catch up on everything. What does this mean exactly? It means grab something to eat and a comfortable chair, because if you dare to read this, you're in for a long haul. XD Also? Since I'm a bit too lazy to make a private post and a public post, this will all be generally...
I. Libertarianism applies the general ethical code, which the majority of man believes as it relates to their personal activities and the actions of other private persons, consistently. It goes without saying that most men find things like robbery, rape, murder, and so on something that is hostile...
I am a mother, and my children were kidnapped to the Middle East by their father. This is how it happened. I first met my husband while studying as an exchange student in a college in Japan. I'm American, and he was Middle Eastern. At the time, he seemed very exotic and unique and nice. A couple...
So, thanks to an old acquaintance who is quickly becoming a new friend, I have a revision. This is the story I posted back in early January, but the revised and re-re-rewritten version. If you read it, please tell me what you think. Personally, I think it's about as polished as I can readily get it,...
Master Painters; this isn't really important or meaningful, only interesting. Past masters, like DaVinci, purportedly used a lens, projecting their desired image onto the canvas. They merely traced it, and colored it to match. You have to create the scene, balance it, and put in top colors, then...

I conducted a query of my own not to long ago, of people who have an interest in the paranormal. The replies I received were as interesting as they were unique to the individual. The Question: I’m curious as to how those who believe in “Heaven” envision it. Is it a real place? If so, what does...

Dandelions sprout and bloom and die and blow away, spreading their seed in the most beautiful and graceful fashion as the dark man with cushions on his hands and huge blank eyes holds you steady. All you can see are these dandelions, and the grass that feeds them. Stay long enough and you notice...
DID YOU KNOW? Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. Store your opened chunks of cheese in...
Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you...
Depending on who you ask and what you consider "living", I've been in San Francisco for about 14 years now. Throughout all those years, I have never "experienced" Bay to Breakers until moving to Fell Street. Essentially for those of you who don't live in the Northern Death nor participate in...

This world traveler is back from the craziness of two weeks abroad that included visits to Italy, Israel and Palestine (with a few hours spent in Prague during a layover). Italy was the first place in Europe I've visited where I could say without hesitation, "I could live here." I could also say...

Years after I had stopped playing Ultima Online, every now and again I would run into someone who would remember the "Blood & Glory" days. Getting ganked in Ultima Online was a harrowing experience where the stakes were higher as your bags could be looted entirely. In later games, I tried to explain...
