Help! My Work Life Sucks!
Have you ever felt completely stuck? I seem to feel like that a lot lately. I feel like something's holding my creativity doubt, self-doubt, laziness, maybe both. I want to get into the writing business so bad. I hate working in the restaurant industry. I want to get out of it. I want to set my own...

Retail Therapy That Doesn't Break Your Budget
I like to shop. Of course I'm not one of those hours at a time shoppers. I like to shop in small doses. I also hate spending money, it's having to part with the hard earned cash that is disapointing. Yes, nothing in life is free, but it can be cheaper. So next time you're needing a little "retail...

FEMA Trailers Poison Katrina Victims
Apparently FEMA doesn't have as much compassion for Katrina victims as the agency claims. An article on MSNBC.com reports that FEMA's trailers are poisoning their occupants. The Sierra Club has found dangerously high levels of formaldehyde caused by the composite wood and plywood panels used in FEMA...

Pirates Are Back!
Oh my god, this movie rocks! I went to see Pirates of the Carribean 2 last week with a friend. We both enjoyed it quiet a bit. Jack is still hillarious, always throwing out witty one liners. He's still a self-serving scoundrel. I read a review that complained the director and producers had given...

Don't Soldiers Have Responsibility for their Actions?
I am currently dealing with a blogger who does not want to address my concerns with the Iraqi War. Mainly, there was no need to attack in the first place and that soldiers have to take responsiblity for joining the military in the first place. This person wants to repeatedly fall back on corrupt...

How Does the Iraq War Defend Freedom?
Because I honestly don't get it. People keep saying American soldiers are defending our freedom. What freedom? I see our freedom rapidly disappearing. For starters, the government feels it can force conventional medicine-such as chemotherapy. Katie Werneckle, thirteen, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's...

Why "Support the Soldiers" bumper stickers annoy me...
Today on my way home from work I was behind a car that had a "Support the Soldiers: Bring Them Home" sticker on its bumper. My immediate thought was how this sort of sentiment completely ignores the Iraqi people. Don't they deserve to have a home too? Why aren't there any "Support the Iraq People:...

Superman Returns with a Vengence
My boyfriend and I went out to see Superman Returns yesterday. I thought Bryan Singer's version was quite an improvement over the original. I'm afraid the original versions felt a bit hokey. All in all, the film is a good mixture of humor, romance and action. The director doesn't try to reinvent any...

Two old men decide they are close to their last days and decide to have one last night out on the town. After a few drinks, they end up at the local brothel. The Madam takes one look at the two old geezers and whispers to her manager, "Go up to the first two bedrooms and put an inflated doll in each...

Does the Possesion of Force Demand Use?
Today I was involved in a three way discussion about the ethics of power. The debate returned the same question over and over; if a country has power, i.e. the US, should that country use it to police the world? My stance towards this question is harsher than most people deem right. I am a firm...
