Bloggers, with the backing of the secret police, control the world!........ Well, here's a bit of higher thinking for you: Iowa lost that game in a hard-fought, one point margin. I will not say that they didn't believe in themselves, I won't say that the Protestant work ethic, demonstrative teamwork... Sign in to see full entry.

Positive Thoughts When Ariala puked on my shoes I had the perfect opportunity to practice my positive thinking. I instantly sent her a love-filled balloon. I don't know where she lives (and don't want to) but I know it's some place by the Pacific Ocean, since she mentions it in her poetry all the... Sign in to see full entry.

Love's Glass Menagerie Last night while reading bloggers I was reminded of several important learnings. First that positive thoughts are hard to conjure at stressful moments; that people still challenge themselves in an effort to improve; that there are a variety of ways to think about abstracts....

The Sopranos, The End pt. 6...

The hardware store owner was telling me how he had visited the local high school for parent night, and had asked what kind of parenting classes are available for younger parents who are struggling? I thought that was insightful, and I know it does exist, especially in the ESL community, we have had... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sopranos, The End Pt. 5...

What we learned from this perfect specimen of HBO origin is that true sociopaths can be medicated, they can be treated for any number of multiple complaints both physical and emotional, but that talk therapy is no answer. One more blight on America, the shining city on the hill, where people go to... Sign in to see full entry.

Mr. Brooks, Kevin Costner, Bill Hurt...

Plot twist on steroids parallels demented kill spree. This weekend thriller reflects the genius of A Beautiful Mind, placing William Hurt in the supporting role opposite Kevin Costner, as the voice in his head that is not really there, prompting him to kill again and again. Costner, a calculating... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sopranos, The End, (Pt. 3)

I had several comments from well-wishers and regular bloggers, just let me clear the air. First, I too suffer from some form of depression, alcohol addiction, and drug addiction. So, when I say that it is a revelation to find out that miracle drugs do exist for some -- sans side effects or threat of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sopranos, The End (Pt. 2)

When I got up this morning my kids were just returning from an early workout at the YMCA. When I got to school I joined the principal on her solitary front-of-building supervision. Today is the last full day of school, and Graduation Day for 8th graders. So they are all dressed in Sunday best,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sopranos, The End...

My daughter works over in the coffee bar now half the time and the other half in Food Alley. Tonight she told about a scary creep that was ordering with a fake Italian accent and making wierd comments to her. It reminded me that the point of the HBO Sopranos is that there are these cold killers... Sign in to see full entry.

WHEN YOU ARE CORRUPTED BY TOO MANY EVIL DEEDS

Something to be said for the elementary school teacher's "golden rule": do unto others as you would have them do unto you. At the conclusion of the SOPRANOS, we see a need for a little salvation. Christopher takes one little - what the hell - drink, and spirals so publically out of control that he... Sign in to see full entry.
