Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My parakeets: 1 of 8
Parakeets are the best pet you can have if you live in a building that only allows small pets, and no dogs. I have two parakeets, Azul and Amarilla, and if you've taken elementary Spanish you probably have a good guess at what colors they are. After a long hard day it's nice to come home and see my feathered friends nuzzling ... More..
Education > Colleges & Universities (Other) Is a college degree necessary for success?: 23 of 52
College degrees are not required to be successful, but it may help get a foot in the door. Otherwise, a degree and fifty cents might get you a cup of coffee. I was one of the millions of people who graduated college with the pipe dream that my degree would get me a job making $40,000+ right out the door. I struggled for two y... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Funniest movies of all time: 3 of 6
"Run Ronnie Run" is hands down the funniest movie I have ever seen. David Cross, from the HBO hit "Mr. Show", plays the role of a hillbilly that becomes insanely famous after he is discovered by a man from Hollywood that was born without an accent. The accent less man brings Ronnie to Hollywood so he can be recorded doing wha... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Best Rage Against the Machine songs: 1 of 1
Picking one Rage Against the Machine song over another is entirely too difficult. If I had to choose an absolute "Bombtrack" I would have to go with "Bullet in Your Head" for the venomous lyrics and bold sociological standpoint. "Bullet in Your Head" encapsulates my view that media, especially that which is played out through... More..

Today President Bush declared the United States of America not only the center of the planet, but the center of the Universe. In celebration he has labeled today as bring your gun to work day!

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Should Paris Hilton get one million dollars to tell her jailhouse story on NBC?: 57 of 97
Paris Hilton represents all that is wrong with the United States of America. She is the spokes-model for everything I hate about our society and she shouldn't get the chance to air the story of her ridiculously shortened jail sentence, let alone get paid a cent to do it. One thing I do like about Paris is that if anyone tells... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Revenge: 13 of 20
Hashish the ClownJohnny Burkes is a boy who loves circuses, he loves clowns, and he especially loves Hashish the Clown. In fact he is quite adamant about his love for Hashish the Clown. Johnny's mother is well aware of this from the posters of Hashish that have become wallpaper in his room. There's also the Hashish notebooks,... More..
Jobs & Careers > Getting Ahead Kissing up to your boss is a must if you want to get ahead: 24 of 34
Kissing up to your boss is certainly a quick way to get ahead of all of your other co-workers who have pride or just don't like the idea of being phony. As you'll see, I am the type of person who strongly dislikes the brown noser and could never see myself losing my self-respect by acting like a complete pee-on in order to ge... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A fallen world: 139 of 177
Always certain rules to abide by,And towers of structure for life.All that is boiling up to,is leaving us all alone.We're ghost with skin and bones,With heavy faces that hold no tones.Uncanning sense to notice,Whenever we're not around.My apparel seems to be so UN-appealing,And all your thoughts are just for open air.Close yo...

Politics, News & Issues > Economic News Does the news media set us up for gasoline price increases?: 6 of 7
The only thing the media doesn't set us up for is unexpected natural disasters or a positive frame of mind. Gas price increases is just a sliver of the bad news that gets implanted in our brains by ditsy puppet reporters who are told to read the cue card and look pretty. If you don't realize that the Oil Industry has a large ... More..
