Is apparently not the south’s strong point. About a month after bow hunters managed to kill only 27 deer at Oak Mountain State Park, the federal government is sending a team of marksmen to try to reduce the herd to a number the park can support. 27? Folks, that’s downright pathetic. I can hear the entire state [...]
A few days ago, Michele complied with a musical meme wherein a person takes winamp, loads it up with all of their music, tosses it on shuffle, and reports on the first N songs to play. (hers are here). I thought that was interesting, so here ya go: Nine Days - If I Am [...]
Apparently the University of Arizona now needs police officers to keep a nudist out of a philosophy class. This article in the Arizona Daily Wildcat has the details. My favorite quote is this one: “At first we didn’t know what had happened, but it was obvious that he didn’t have any weapons,” said Mitchell, “It soon [...]
Morgan and I are no strangers to disagreement. In fact, I have a hard time remembering the last time we agreed on much of anything. That’s never really stopped us from getting along splendidly, though. This will be, however, the first time that we’ve aired our issues on the internet, as far as I know. [...]
In all of my free time today, I read an article about objectivity and why some people seem to have a very hard time with it. It actually ties in pretty well with my “everything happens for a reason” post in certain sections. I don’t think I can say it any better than Todd Seavey [...]
So over the past three days I’ve heard or read the phrase “everything happens for a reason” more times than I care to count, and at the risk of offending half of my readership (that’s what I do best, isn’t it?), I’m going to detail why this cliche annoys me… and BOY does it annoy [...]
I know I didn’t devote a whole post to Announcing my Mother’s 29th Birthday just one week ago (today)… but that was only because I didn’t want the other women to be so jealous of how young and beautiful she looks for 29. It’s remarkable, really, you’d think she was a college coed running around [...]
Well, at least it’s ending. The weekend, that is. All in all it was very mediocre, though not for the sheer quantity of mediocrity, but for the polarity of its events, and their middling effect on the “Big Picture.” But now I’m being vague and belaboring the point. I’ll just get on with my synopsis. Friday: I [...]
Upon returning from my weekend away, I was greeted with the very plesant news that I got rejected at Case Western. Yay! The reason I’m going to detail this in a public post as opposed to a private one is that, unlike most people, I openly invite ridicule when it’s deserved. Since some people will [...]
So, I’ve been pondering this for the past few days and decided that since I had guest posting rights here, I would post this here rather than on my own site…odd I know but hey, I’m allowed The question is: How do you know when you’ve met the one? Okay, so some background is [...]
