Creative Writing > Satire Satire: Addiction: 1 of 25

My therapist told me that writing down my feelings is a good form of self-therapy. My question is, why am I paying that &*^%&^* to tell me to therapize (that can't be a word) myself? (Note to self Stop going to therapy) Jesus, he's right. I've been writing in this journal for 90 seconds and already I've bettere...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Facing death: 14 of 202

People say that when you are about to die, or at least when you think you are about to die, your entire live passes before your eyes. But when Lewis felt what he was certain was the cold barrel of a gun press against the back of his neck, he didn't see his entire life not that he'd want to what for him was this thing called ...
Creative Writing > Humor Tips for being funny: 5 of 15

The whole idea that someone can write an article telling you how to be funny seems ridiculous to me. To me, either you have it or you don't. That being said, I am going to go ahead and take part in the rediculousness (is that even a word?) because my ego is telling me that I am funny and smart and have something worthwhile t...
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Moving to Florida: The pros and cons: 2 of 6

At the end of August 2005, my wife and I moved down to Naples, Florida from Massachusetts. My wife has family in Naples, so it wasn't as if we weren't going to know anybody. I was able to telecommute to my job in Boston, so adjusting to our new surroundings wasn't going to be that bad. When we purchased our condo, we thought...
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Have reality shows taken over from great serials on the television: 1 of 1

I have a problem with television. Now, don't get me wrong - I love TV. I have a show or two that I watch every night (sometimes more.) I tend to try to stay away from the reality shows, unless their competition shows like Survivor or Amazing Race. My first love was the sitcom, but every year those seem to be worse and worse,...
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Pirate Master: 1 of 1

So, I just finished watching the most recent episode of Pirate Master, a summertime reality show on CBS. For those of you who don't know about it, it's basically Survivor (same exec. producer) smashed together with the pirate theme, which is obviously trying to get noticed off of the hugely successful Pirates movies. The sho...
Sports & Recreation > Hockey Contemplating the playing ability of the Boston Bruins: 2 of 3

First, let me start off by saying - I am a Bruins Fan! I am a New Englander and a major Boston sports fan. I love the Sox and The Patriots. I hope the Celtics can now reclaim the glory that they had when I was a kid, and I've always, ALWAYS hoped that sometime in my lifetime I would see the Bruins win a Championship. The are...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Disrespect is earned: 4 of 5

In many circles of life, the phrase "respect is earned" is highly valued. Many people believe that a person will not get respect, and does not deserve respect, unless they show that they are deserving of it. I, on the other hand, believe that if this was the case - there would be hundreds of people that I would come across o...
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball News & Opinion Is Roger 'the soon-to-fizzle Yankee rocket' Clemens worth $16 to $18 million?: 7 of 8

The Yankees luring in Clemens is a good thing for baseball. Now, no pitcher is worth that amount of money for not even a full season's worth of baseball. But, if the Red Sox - of whom I am a fan of - made the deal I would have been all for it. I would have thought of Roger trying to build to his legacy in Boston by finally w...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Marriage: 24 of 25

Dear Diary I cannot wait until the big day finally gets here. I have so many jitters I can hardly get to sleep at night. I've already reserved the hall where the ceremony and the reception will be held. It's a really pretty place that has a beautiful outside gazebo. The deposits have been paid for the cake, the photographer,...
