The one asshole I can’t escape from? Myself!

By Administrator | 2007-11-18 by Administrator

Awhile back I began to notice this fascination in certain people with faraway exotic places.Â They rave, gush and drool whenever someone else mentions a place that they haven’t visited.Â I understand that it’s a temporary extraction from the everyday familiarities that can dull one’s senses.Â It’s something I think is basic and necessary to the core of existence.

By Administrator | 2007-09-032007-09-03 by Administrator

I can’t really say with absolute certainty, but I would venture that many people have a taste for pop music that they wouldn’t ordinarily admit. I remember during one particular moment in my adolescence one on my peers denigrating another for listening to a musical group that was deemed unfashionable. Of course, I, like all of my peers at that time lacking anything remotely close to originality or a spine, did nothing to defend the…

Cynicism can do a body good

By Administrator | 2007-04-17 by Administrator

Why has cynicism become a connotation for something bad? There’s a place in the world for cynics. They raise doubt and questions. Doubts and questions isn’t appropriate under all circumstances, but I would venture that a majority of the critical decisions in life require it.Â So considered me bugged when overly optimistic people who come up with all these great solutions that are suppose to ameloriate all our problem turn around and call me cynical…
