Butterfly kisses Phoenix fire the dragon below the surface called forth by desire in eternity's shadow the sun but a spark and every resolute purpose ultimately but a lark held in amatory hands the sparkle pulses true and the crux of every question is decoded to a...

Money has no principles. People buying tickets to a funeral from all sorts. I just don't get it. The worship of a man around the world? Go figure. Idol worship at it's beat. I agree with Termi, What's more valuable , a teacher or a pop star.?A garbage man or a pop star? Just imagine how this society would change if all them people worshiping MJ would act like that on Sunday and go to church and...

People sometimes forget that we live in a country that has a tremendous shortage of healthcare professionals.  If the 40+ million people without health insurance today were suddenly added to the appointment lists, you couldn't see anyone in a timely fashion.  The art of triage would have to be refined to make sure that patients were prioritized by chief complaint, meaning that early...

This past trip to visit my mom in Arizona brought something new to my awareness. It’s not completely new, but it sure hit me in a new kind of way. I have very little tolerance with complaining. Let me clarify. I believe that there is room for dissatisfaction and the proper communicating of that. My problem is with people…like the woman at the movie theater. Mom and I decided that we were going...

I rode my bike from Boston to York Beach, Maine this weekend. We headed off at 8:30am and arrived at 6:30pm to a double rainbow that reached from one end of the beach to the other. It was incredibly beautiful. The smaller rainbow was so bright and pronounced in the blue sky and each end fit neatly within the curve of the long beach of York. The smaller rainbow fit on top, perfectly parallel but...

That’s the question that Rachel Fox asks on Dr. Tom Cocklereece’s (oddly named) blog: “Simple Disciplship Weblog: Helping Churches Make Disciple-Making Disciples.” The question seems to answer itself – because those people are, well, smart. Rachel, however, thinks that she has a good answer. I will spare you much unneeded reading and quote to you the...

I can't stop crying over the sad news," Madonna says. "I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless." Right now, Gary Glitter is wondering what the fuck he has to do to get a...

I will start out this entry by saying that there may be quite a few of you who will disagree and vehemently dislike the sentiments I am about to express. Here is your cue to make a silent, graceful exit and be none-the-wiser to MY opinions. With that being said:   I am bewildered and befuddled. I am appalled and disgusted. I am outraged and discredulous. And, what you might ask has my...

 I wrote this back in January for a poetry anthology project.  It was for our creative writing final.  Out of all the poems I wrote for that, this was my favorite, just because it seemed so simple.  It's probably the closest to iambic pentameter I will ever get, haha.  Let me know what you think. If we were an ocean, we'd sway alone We'd make it a hiding place and a...

I feel like I'm about to blow up. My boyfriend was treating me like shit. I wanted more. So did my best friend. I cheated on my boyfriend. I got the balls to break up with him. Now he won't leave me alone. I want him as a friend and he said he was willing, so long as I not do anything with a very long list of guys, including the guy i cheated on my now-ex with. I love this guy. A lot. But no...
