Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry Why is poetry so hard to define?: 20 of 71

POEMS FROM GOD Poetry cannot be defined or explained. It is somewhat like God, intertwined and interwoven into every living thing. Poetry may even be living among the dead, and besides Jesus Christ, I assume the only thing, which could have awakened Lazarus. Some might think poetry can be taught at a university or in a writi...

Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles Differences between men and women explored: 11 of 38

WHY GOD INVENTED GIRLFRIENDS Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars. That's the understatement of the decade! Why do you think God invented girlfriends, honey? He knew only too well, we'd need to get together, have a glass of Merlot, and discuss men together. Us girls usually meet at a Sport's bar, order chicken wings, a... More..

The Blood & The Power To destroy the vampire, suppress the menstruating woman and to look away from the Medusa, the embodiment of dangerous looking, are all responses to the masculine fear of the female. (Marie Mulvey Roberts) I know when it's coming. The entire body catches fire; hair follicles rise up; emotions heighten, i... More..
Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles 10 things women wish men knew: 11 of 36

WHAT MEN NEED TO KNOW An ongoing conversation I have with my girlfriends is about the men in our lives. Most of us are married, but it doesn't matter a damn, our husbands still don't get us, or quite comprehend our needs, desires, or feelings. And I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about deep, unequivocal communication. ... More..
Health & Fitness > Therapy & Counseling Should there be a link between spirituality and psychiatry?: 17 of 54
God, Freud & Psychiatry Spirituality & Psychiatry go hand in hand, or at least, they should. For one to heal he or she must integrate something higher than themselves into the equation, or the equation will not have an end result. It's the same concept as the 12-step program, which according to the program takes inventories,... More..
Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts How to deal with a cheating spouse: 12 of 35

FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS For eighteen years you pretended to be my husband. Gave me your sperm as if it were pure gold, stayed up with sick kids, wiped up puke, and if you could have breast-fed, you would have flung out your nipples willingly and with pleasure. You loved me. You loved me like an animal that couldn't get enough, as... More..

ZEPPELIN OBSESSION I have a secret I haven't told many people, (except my closest girlfriends). I have an obsession with Led Zeppelin. The reason I keep this undisclosed is I'm a rather conservative, traditional girl, and this obsession doesn't quite fit into my lifestyle. I listen to Norah Jones and the classics, mostly. I'...

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Little Children: 3 of 8
"Little Children" has so many fascinating, flawed, multi-dimensional characters; the viewer is bound to find one individual, whom they will identify with. Nobody in the film gets away with being pure, content, unblemished or blameless. And that's what makes this film so beautifully authentic. Kate Winslett is superb as the d... More..
Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) How the media is altering our perception of beauty: 7 of 18

THE MEDIA MACHINE The media is raping young girls. I hold them exclusively responsible for our daughters' bulimia, anorexia, and low self esteem. I hold them accountable every time a teenage girl sobs her eyes out because she thinks she's too fat, too ugly, and too irrelevant. The media, as far as I'm concerned, should be li... More..
