Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Things you need to be a celebrity: 2 of 34

How do you become a celebrity? This is an important question that it seems all the world has been asking me these days. Well you can be born into it. But I don't know if that is really something you can do yourself. I mean, who you are born to can make you famous, such as Paris Hilton, or any of those first families, or hote...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Heartbreak: 3 of 25

When it started it was so much fun! There you were at the bar, not even my type. You were talking to some of your friends, and then you noticed me. But I wanted no part of you. I moved my way to the back of the bar, near the band. I ignored you. I didn't want you, I wanted your friend, the Lois Lane type with the big starry ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Feelings: 105 of 747

"Eating Garbage" Where is it that you begin, when the train has abandoned you; waiting on a lonely platform counting seconds like they were ants sprawling down, down, down into the tracks? Are the miles of separation cleft into the sinews of your heart? The promise of a storm; thunder is not far behind. I was a gray china co...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization How to reinvent yourself and change your identity: 1 of 5

Everyday and in every way society is constantly giving us new ways to look, act and be. What we thought was hip or cool is now deck.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Living with the past: 42 of 151

When my grandfather died, it didn't come as a great surprise to me. He was 91. His lungs had been filling up with fluid. He was fine over the past six years...but his health started to take a turn when the assisted living place he was living at changed hands..there were renovations and although they let him stay in his tiny ...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Neighbors who insist on being friends: 2 of 7

Sometimes we do not search for friends. Sometimes they are thrust upon us against our will. Sometimes we just want to be left alone to live our quiet humble lives and this universe has a way of putting these annoying friends in our paths. Such was the case for me and the cop that would cry. And so this zone, this friendship ...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Dating someone over fifty: 2 of 7

Half Past Fifty Half Past Fifty He is still having a bit of a boyishness in his graying good looks. "His trouble is he's caught somewhere between Connec-tih-cuht and the Dali Lama." Some would say. "Found the true source." Would say others. He rustled the newspaper and grimaced at the prospect of rain. "I'd rather the ocean....
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Struggles in life: 88 of 258

It's a Shaky Town. You look into their eyes, but they are vacant...empty inside, robot like, and you wonder if the psychotrops have caused all feeling to cease in these hedgefund wannabees with way too much insurance. I sat there,staring like there were nothing going on, blankly out the gray glass windows of the light rail a...
Entertainment > Celebrities (Other) Does Hollywood have a negative impact on the world?: 8 of 16

This is a ridiculous idea that Hollywood could possibly have a negative impact on the world. Since it began, Hollywood has served but one purpose for mankind, escapism. Goodness, throughout it's history Hollywood has served as a means to take the average ordinary joe away from his/her morbid existence. Let's face it, it's bi...
Entertainment > Celebrities (Other) The secret lives of the very rich: 1 of 2

It has been a few years I must confess, since I donned the old tuxedo and feigned the "part" of a poor boy pretending to be a rich boy pretending to be a poor boy. But I thought it might be of particular interest to the world to know how to appear to be wildly rich while all the time being wildly poor and living on a shoe st...
