Religion & Spirituality > Theories of Spirituality Applying 'The Secret' to your life: 4 of 54
I watched about 10 minutes of The Secret and realized they weren't telling me what I already didn't know. If you think positive, you'll be positive and attract positive people. I had had a history of negative thinking. Nothing ever went my way, or so it seemed. One day in 2002 I woke up sick and tired of feeling down all the... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry What is your favorite conspiracy theory?: 6 of 61
My favourite conspiracy theory is the one that suggests that Paul McCartney of the Beatles is dead and a look-a-like has been in his place all these years. The story goes something like this: The "real" Paul McCartney was supposedly decapitated in a car crash in 1966, right around the time that the Beatles were starting to h... More..
Entertainment > Characters & Personalities Have the Gosselin kids from "Jon & Kate Plus 8" been helped, or hurt, by the TLC show documenting their lives?: 1 of 10
The Gosselin children have only one fault. There are more than two of them. For that, they've become a spectacle for the world to examine, dissect, and comment on. They are no different than the Dionne Quintuplets, who were born in 1934 in Callender, Ontario, Canada. Four months after the birth of the sisters, the Ontario go... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Where was God on 9/11?: 10 of 49
Where was God on 9/11? He was the bystander who pulled someone out of the way to safety when the clouds of debris and dust roared down the streets. He was the one of the firemen carrying the body of the priest that we saw in those terrible pictures. He was a tireless volunteer who set up food and water stations. He was a doc... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Joy in love: 3 of 8
I used to long to be in love;to have that partner for life, that long time companion. I used to think I knew what I wanted. Ever since I had my daughter I know now that all my efforts at being in love have been amateurish, sophomoric at best. My daughter has taught me some vital lessons in love. She's taught me to have patie... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Summer: 31 of 71
It was hot. Stifling, breath stealing hot. She sat at her computer,plucking her damp tank top off her slick skin. The lone table fan was blowing hot air into the room. Stepping outside on the balcony brought no surcease to her misery. She looked at the clock. One Twelve AM. She'd tried sleep but the sheets felt sticky and cl... More..

I'll get over you I'll forget the way you smiled I'll get over you It just may take a little while And yeah, the mornings may be bleaker And the nights may seem too long But I'll get over you I'll accept the fact you're gone I'll try to go on Even when it won't seem fair I'll try to go on I'll forget that once you cared Even...

The other day someone asked me where in the world I'd rather go If I could pack it up and move anywhere I didn't even hesitate when I turned to them and said I wouldn't have to because I'm already there. When others having a bad day close their eyes and try to see That "special place" that takes them out of their despair The... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Running away: 2 of 4
I was six years old darn it.. WHEN was I ever going to get the respect and admiration a child my age deserved? I wasn't going to take it anymore by golly. I packed a pillowcase of my stuff. (Being the middle child of seven that wasn't much.) I strode to the front door and loudly, tearfully informed my mother and all who woul... More..
