Sitting outside trying to enjoy the night airNot thinking much, my face has a blank stareOh, now those pesky mosquitoes are starting to biteThe urge to kick and scratch, I cannot fightSo inside I go, the windows are open-that's goodI can still listen to the sounds from over in the woodsPlenty of birds out there, their little ...

Entertainment > Entertainment (Other) Funniest comedians of all time: 7 of 38
There are so many great comedians who have their own unique style. Here are some of my favorites:Dane Cook-I first saw him in 2000 and loved him, especially the routine where he wishes he could be a snake. He's good at natural visual effects, like pouring water on himself to look like a slimy alien.Bill Cosby-he's been doing ... More..

Health & Fitness > Anxiety & Panic Disorders Hurdles faced by those living with anxiety disorders: 2 of 8
When I look back on my life and how I thought and behaved, I now believe that I suffered from anxiety-as well as depression-since early childhood.

I was listening to my favorite classic rock station in the Tampa Bay area a couple of weeks ago. "Shine" by Collective Soul came on-this was a bit unusual because I didn't remember them ever playing Collective Soul before. Now don't get me wrong, I like that song-I even played it with one of my bands. But I was starting to se... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I hate working in a call center: 9 of 35
I've had several call center jobs over the years. I managed to keep a market research job for two years, where I conducted surveys over the phone. I'm now stuck in a telemarketing/appointment setting job. Why do I hate it? Well, part of that should be pretty obvious-you're calling people that don't like you calling them.You'r... More..

Soup, salad, and bread is a popular lunch combo offered at many restaurants. There can be many combinations from which to choose, so you just have to use your imagination. Steak is often served with ba... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Britney bald: Why did Britney Spears shave her head?: 39 of 130
Let me start off by saying that I liked some of Britney's songs when she first came onto the scene. The "(Hit Me) Baby, One More Time" video came out during my last few months in the Army, and I was kind of digging it. Now, I feel guilty for wasting any amount of time reading about her, but I guess my sick curiosity gets the ... More..
