LET'S BE COPS!

Roy Rogers and Stoney Brook, Bogart and Bergman. When we were kids we loved playing cops. Like an American pastime. Tonight if you can find any news though, every talking head is weighing in on whether city popo should have the same armor and hardware that the army has. Ridiculous. Of course it was...

A DANGEROUSLY WANTED MAN

There's not much analysis to do on "A Wanted Man". Overzealous joint terrorism task force sees a stranger, guesses correctly that he is trouble, conspires, consorts, entraps his banker, and presto you have a plot. I won't spoil the ending for you. I will make two points. 1) a rare case where the... Sign in to see full entry.

Battled a bit of depression when the summer session ended. But too, I was ill. Stomach flue, dizziness. I forced myself to the park a few days and tried to keep up my activities around housekeeping and yard work. Better. AA helps. I saw Caitlin last night at a meeting and gave her a flannel shirt I...

NOT SO BAD

Here I am on my worst day of the week. 2nd week of vacations. Got 10 days till school starts. Last Sunday had to have been an aberration, or I just wasn't ready for it. Today, after sleeping in, I showered and put on clean clothes. Then went for a short drive in the country. I stopped at my favorite... Sign in to see full entry.

MORE COMPLAINTS FOR THE BLOGIT AUTHORITIES

Yes, it was bound to happen. I had one or two days not worrying about getting all my work done, and I became so depressed! Thank God for AA! I went to my first meeting Friday night, then again on Saturday. Did not get me through the weekend though. Sunday is usually my worst day. And true to form.... Sign in to see full entry.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME -- I'M QUITE MYSELF TONIGHT.

Well, I can tell you how my paper turned out (150 / 150 points). I had to change my title several times and concluded with the title: "Alcohol Use Disorder / Comorbidity". It was a real hit. In my off hours in late may (when my subscription to blogi.com was cancelled due to banking error) I had... Sign in to see full entry.

ALCOHOL USE DISORDER: COMORBID WITH OTHERS

My paper for Abnormal Psychology is entitled Alcohol Use Disorder: Comorbidity. As I do everything, I began with a totally different idea in mind and it evolved into what it is now. I began by letting myself be confused about the assignment. As always, if I had just gone and reread the... Sign in to see full entry.

COLLEGE LIFE, $30,000.00 WORTH OF PURE JOY!

I'm not able to be clever when writing term papers. The very nature of the term paper is strictly academic and formal. It does not lend itself to humor. So, what am I doing? Well, my first one that I handed in was a review of my experience with humanistic education: a brief review of how humanism is... Sign in to see full entry.

"A WAY OF BEING" - NOTES

"A WAY OF BEING" is a book by Carl Rogers, the originator of the humanistic approach to psychotherapy and education. I learned this theory in the mid-70 ' s and have been a proud humanistic teacher since. Now, while becoming a bilingual counselor, I have again run across Mr. Rogers. For my...

BECK'S 4 - STEP COGNITIVE APPROACH TO LIFTING DEPRESSION

Increasing your activities will begin to lift you up. One client's weekly schedule looked like this: "clean my room, take a shower, go to the grocery, have dinner with the family, take a walk". And each hour of the day is accounted for. Step two involves confronting automatic thinking. For example,... Sign in to see full entry.
