Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Pets: 2 of 138
As the door slowly closed and the guardians made their way down the front steps and out to the driveway, Buddy turned to Spiffy and chewed roughly on his worn, red collar. He began to growl playfully and barked loud in Spiffy's face. He would bark twice, pause to build the suspense and fear in little chubby Spiffy, and then h... More..

The Christmas Dinner We pulled up to the my uncle's house and the wagoneer came to a screeching halt. Pops cursed under his breath as he climbed out of the driver's seat. He hated going to his brother-in-laws and tried to avoid it as much as possible. Christmas was one of those holidays where he wasn't allowed to run and hid... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Transformers (2007): 30 of 104
Michael Bay has scored big with The Transformers. Overall, this motion picture delivered time and time again where other classic cult cartoons turned live action have failed in the past. The hype for this film had been built up to epic proportions starting with the 1st nerd who caught wind of a rumor about preproduction, and ... More..

The sun finally goes down and the clouds begin to roll in. The dark clouds block any chance of an appearance by the moon. Soft rain seeps out of the clouds and falls gently to the ground. Even though it had been a smoldering day of heat, the air is extremely cool now, producing a rolling fog that spreads itself out to every ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Why the future of the Boston Celtics looks bright for the 2007-2008 season: 7 of 20
Green and white, please here my cry. It's necessary that we stick together during these troubling times. Are we still down and out about getting the 5th pick? Were we really surprised when Ainge made another ridiculous trade? I know it felt like an atomic bomb but it's far from the end of the world. Come on, it's time to get ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Basketball Is Zach Randolph playing for the New York Knicks a bad idea?: 4 of 6
Being a former Knick fan (i.e. the Ewing, Oakley, Starks era), it was exciting to see the team head down a different road. Any change from their current situation, minus selling the team to Vancouver, has to be viewed as a step in the right direction. That being said, it wasn't an extremely thrilling move by any means. This d... More..

"Maybe we should stop and ask for directions again. He told you to stay on this road for a couple of minutes and it would eventually be on your left. We've been driving for fifteen minutes and we haven't even seen one restaurant, never mind the Dixie Burger we've been trying to find for hours." "Quit being so dramatic. We've... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spirituality (Other) Reflections: Thoughts on spirituality: 29 of 42
Let me just start off by pointing out that spirituality and religion, although often seen as one entity, should be viewed as what they truly are. The pair are often conjoined by many, but clearly they are two separate entities. Spirituality is what is within all of us, deep inside our very souls. Each and every being in this ... More..
Travel > Travel Planning & Advice Traveling games to pass the time and keep the peace: 8 of 10
Believe me, if I could afford non-stop, first class flights from Boston to San Francisco, I wouldn't think twice about wasting away the extra dough it costs. But if you're like me, even if you don't want to admit it, you're a cheap skate searching for low fares (at midnight because you heard a rumor that flights were cheaper ... More..
