This paradise of a planet that we live on can not be perfect forever, not without our help. Our planet is the single most habitable rock in our known galaxy, and we, of all people, are destroying it.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Mentors: 3 of 8

"The Hand That Feeds" I am your Fault, your Failure. I am your Hope, your Salvation. Don't ponder choices or consequences. I am the choice. I am the consequence. Do as you're told. Speak as you're given. Work. Work. Work. You're all afraid because my greatness brings your destruction. But I've a multitude of ends. You are on...

What may we gain from the study or analysis of literature? You may ask this in expectancy of a direct answer, but there is none.

So, here are some guidelines that should help ...
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community How video games affect the way we think: 3 of 5

People will think what they want to think. The psychological effect mostly depends on what age at which one plays video games, and of course the duration. If someone plays games in his/her early childhood then that person will develop a higher recognition for patterns, as that is what most games are. Just patterns over and o...
Travel > Travel Planning & Advice Best vacation destinations for a nature-filled getaway: 26 of 42

To sojourn to some new wilderness and forget all of your worries is a very beautiful thing indeed, and there are so many gorgeous places around the United States that are worth going to that it would seem silly not to at least venture forth once and unwind.

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Trends & Genres Are video games getting better or worse as graphics, sound and gameplay complexity improve?: 10 of 16

The popular conception that mind-blowing sound and eye-exploding graphics are what make a game good, in my experience, is a rather shallow one. As the complexity of the ordinary video game increases and players are more immersed in the game play environment, the video game begins to become less of a video game, and more of a...

There was this little boy named Johnny. That took a dare. To go to this house, But he wasn't scared. On Ash Tree Avenue, He'd find it there. They pointed up to this house Up on the hill. It was creepy, And gave him a chill. You know this house they say, Is made out of bones. But fearless Johnny, He went all alone. The doors ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Looking in the mirror: 143 of 188

"Scarecrow" Scarecrow, you've ruined me. I remember when I trusted you. Your face I would see As if it were brand new. But I was cross-eyed. Only saw what you wanted me to. Your crazy gas lied, Just like you told it to. But scarecrow, I'm still alive. Sewed myself together to watch you writhe. Before I die, I'll see you in t...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Humanity: 143 of 169

I'm the unmended, the dead-ended. The cartograph of the vast. I'm the neglected, The never resurrected, Voice of the passed. I'm the unsaid, misread, and Always straight-ahead. Because I'm The Forgotten and Feared, and I'm Never really dead. I can walk away from anything, Always an escape. And I'll ravage every chance. The B...
Hobbies & Games > Card Games Trading card games: Tips for building a winning Pokemon deck: 2 of 2

Having good cards isn't the key to victory in Pokemon. If a deck isn't built well, then failure is to be expected, regardless of powerful cards. To me, the key to building a great Pokemon deck is having the necessary energy cards and more. In a standard sixty card deck, I recommend having around 25, and never below twenty. T...
