Saturday, May 24, 2003No, it's not an excuse to go out and grill your brains outNor is Memorial Day an excuse to drink beer as if it were water, although I did hear something the other day about the Memorial Day weekend being the 2nd biggest "drink like a fish" holiday - second only to that famous hangover heaven, New Year's Eve. (You know, the holiday where everyone wears...

This is what I'm aware of, internally: My own irritation that the living room was changed around without my permission Being displeased that I can no longer find the notes to my autobiography The need to change others'...

I've been reading entirely too much of the entertainment headlines of late. And I've been seeing a lot of buzz about the latest Jim Carrey film, Bruce Almighty. From what Entertainment Weekly says about it, it's similar in tone to Carrey's Ace Ventura, Pet Detective or Liar,...

Because I've had that extensive experience, I wonder at times if I am capable of teaching at a med school. In fact, I've even...

The latest salvo in this effort is their trip to Capitol Hill, to convince people like John McCain about the nobility of their efforts. Well, I have a different perspective. I...

The first was a literal problem - as in, a mathematical problem. I was in geometry, and doing pretty bad to boot - darn near flunked the course that grading period, as a matter of fact. Then, during a test,...

But then, I decided that - guess what? - I'm a big girl, maybe even too good to act like an overgrown toddler having a temper tantrum. However, I would like to know exactly what you meant by...

No excuses, no whining. Therefore, it's your life. You are 100% responsible for how you live it. What are you going to do? Blame others for what you have chosen not to do?

We don't suddenly become gorillas because we think about becoming gorillas. Instead, when we focus on something - and endeavor to do that "something," whatever it is - we screen out those situations that are incongruent with that...

One of the students who was going to sue the school over her suspension had a good reason for suing the school - or,... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 1:11 PM Comments (0) (link) |
