Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes Getting over Mr. Wrong: Lessons for a successful break-up: 17 of 22
Some would say that being the "dumper", rather than the "dumpee" would make breaking up easier. WRONG! Have you ever had to look into the eyes of someone you have cared about, possibly "known" {in the biblical sense} and reject them? It's torture.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Swimming: 15 of 19
Nadar (To swim) Take a deep breath, And into the drink, Clear my head, Of these thoughts I think. Underwater paradise, Independent of air, Muscles moving with purpose, No sodden terra firma cares. Not for gold, not for physique, Do I plunge into the deep. Transcending as I'm descending, It's a chlorine comfort cove I seek. U... More..

Albert Einstein had a good take on people's desire to be seen as smart. He once said, "Before God, we are all equally wise- and equally foolish."

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes What is bluegrass music?: 16 of 19

Start with a mandolin melody and a twangy guitar rhythm; add some banjo; rosin up the fiddle; lay out your Dobro or steel guitar; and you've got yourself the makin's for a bluegrass band.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark Poems: 365 of 424
In my dreams at night it plagues me The dawn brings no relief It's waiting there to greet me My mind knows no reprieve. Haunting, chasing, taunting Nipping at my heels Hot horrid breath upon me It moves in swiftly for the kill. To stumble means sure agony Lose one step, and end it all Running, por temor a mi vida It will con... More..
Education > Educational Philosophy Is it better for schools to be rigorous or nurturing?: 27 of 31
Is it better for schools to be rigorous or nurturing? Let's not lose sight of what school is for. We need to educate our children; to teach them to care for themselves; to get them ready to take over the reins for us, when the time comes. Think about it, though. How many hours a day does your child spend in school? According... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust What is a great love?: 21 of 24
In the spring of 55 A.D., the Apostle Paul tried to answer this age-old question. In the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 13, Paul wrote, "Love is patient. Love is kind; it does not envy you or boast, it is not arrogant or rude...Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." In the spring o... More..
Relationships & Family > Humor & Laughter Today's most annoying popular catch phrases: 37 of 38
Personally, I really like catch-phrases. I find that, when used appropriately, they easily convey what I want to say, without me having to put much thought into it. Not being particularly hip or witty myself, but wanting to look as if I am 'down,' I throw them around all the time, so that no one can doubt just how very cool ... More..
Entertainment > TV Networks & Industry They decide what we buy: Consumer demand and the American media: 14 of 14
How would we know what we want without the media telling us? In America, we don't have to wait to want for anything. We can turn on almost any morning news show, pick up almost any magazine, even listening to almost any rapper will clue us into what we should be wearing, driving, drinking, etc., so that we can be as stylin' ...
