Confusion (part one)
written by: GanjaSpitfire
20 New York
I just slept the entire day away. Yesterday was really eventful and I only got two hours of sleep. I had an interview for Fashion Bug which did end up going well, but they only wanted to give me $7.15 an hour, and the fourth key position they wouldn't end up giving me until after Christmas. To make matter worse, only 20 hours a week. Got into a texting argument with K on my way in. I said...

English = Bad
written by: Lucretia

Yes, I'm English, and as such I spend my days training man-eating pirhanas. And you know, when I finally fit into that deep sea-green evening dress or the leather catsuit I will be raised through the ranks from henchman of the lowest order to Femme Fatale or probably Vixen. I may even get some pilot lessons, henchmen of my own or even a crate of C4 to use as I deem fit. That would be...

Today i woke up, i listened for belle's cries and i couldnt hear them.
i went upstairs and still couldnt hear her, part of me had wished maybe she died quietly in her sleep. Then after letting pete out, i heard her. She had slept in the garrage on her blanket.

Shit Happens
I had set a pretty low bar for my Carnegie Hall debut: do not fuck up.
I fucked up.
Everything was going fine at first. The Steinway concert grand in Weill Hall sounds gorgeous; it has a rich tone and a smooth, responsive touch. I could pretty much get any sound I want out of it. When I was done with sound check I was in piano heaven. I want it. It probably helped that the Best...

Justice was served? Really?
written by: inmylife

I read an article today which reported that a couple in Wisconsin were sentenced to 6 months in jail and 10 years' probation because they didn't seek medical care for their 11-year-old dying daughter but instead relief on prayer to cure her. They could have received up to 25 years in prison for second-degree manslaughter but will only serve 10 years' probation and serve one month in jail each...

37 years today. Where's my reward?
written by: Optimist
61 Australia
It's our 37th anniversary today. The years have just flown. I read that alabaster is the gift for a 37th and I was toying with the idea of flinging a small alabaster ornament at him as he comes in the door, but better not, as he might not come home again.lol Besides, I rather like him.
And today of all days I get to spend this afternoon having the stitches taken out of my toe. I'm looking...

Lied To Enough Already?
Lied To Enough Already?
J.C. Arenas
Individuals nationwide, regardless of political allegiance, have taken to the streets this year in opposition to the radical liberal agenda and assert that we're taxed enough already, but we should also recognize that liberals have lied to us enough already in regards to the further taxes we oppose.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) continued...

Medicare Denies CoverageMore ThanPrivate Insurance
written by: Notliberal
31 Michigan
The Democrats and OD left have gone on the offensive against private health care claiming that we already have rationed health care. After all insurance companies decide what they will and won't pay for so what difference does it make if government does the same thing. The problem of course is that insurance companies are bound by a contract and government is not. Government is free to...

Peek-a-BOOM!
As any girl of the mature age of six, I always looked forward to the rare occasion in which my cousins would delight us with their prescence. These visits were always choc-full of entertainment value, and usually just as loud as they were exciting. We wasted no time at all with...

Message in a Bottle

This is the picture of my gram. She was one of the wisest, most decent women I have ever known. She chose solitude, and vanished into eccentricity, because it hurt too much to face the world. She reminded me, often, that the path she chose was the wrong one yet now there was nothing left for her but to live in her chosen world.
You can see by her expression, she was proud of her...
