Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

So this is bound to be a popular topic as it will affect everyone.

At work the other day, we had a meeting so all the experienced employees could meet the newly hired people. It was fun, and our boss explained the upcoming holiday season. In one word: crazy!

We were talking about how we would greet and thank people, and so I raised my hand.  Read More »

My Fourth Year: Day 22

I don't plan on making this a usual thing, as far as keeping an online community updated on my progress to be a better person. I do, however, want to get this off my chest.

I have struggles with a sexual addiction. I don't really want to go into much detail, but I am saying that this is going to be my declaration.  Read More »

My Fourth Year: Day 17

So I haven't written anything is a while. Mostly because I've been extremely busy with work and school, but also because I'm going through some serious changes. But this isn't a progress check: it's a response to a voicemail I got today.  Read More »

Smith's mother told The Indianapolis Star that her son was found Sunday morning face down in a pool of vomit.”  Read More »

"Life on earth" starring...man as God...again........

Recently in speech class, we watched a video of a girl performing an informative speech. While we were only supposed to pay attention to her mannerisms, rate of speech, things that would affect us, the audience, I couldn’t help but get stuck on the topic.
Cryonics.
I know – the same thought went through my head. “What?”  Read More »

Life - too much to miss out on and waste...

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

When it comes to gifts that many of us take for granted, one of them definitely has to be life (no, this isn’t about abortion). People go through the breakup of a relationship and somehow come to the conclusion that it would be better if they didn’t live.

That’s where my logical mind stops working.  Read More »
