LITTLE TALES
by compound complex inlooking out his studio's street-side window, marcel squints as diminishing afternoon rays of a limping, hazy sun come slicing through half-opened blinds.
some men, he had read [for none had ever declared this truth to the young writer personally], write in a darkened box of a room to fend off all possible distraction from the proper conception and development of their little tales.
that, marcel pondered, was too simplistic an accounting of how one's thoughts truly do go to paper.

Charlie Sheen
by mrsjones5 ini came rather late to watching the show "two and a half men" and have been watching mostly the reruns, which i have enjoyed immensely (the story lines are funny).
i try to catch the first runs when i can.
to me this show is really a homage of charlie sheen's life.

Pirate News
by free2beme inas news hits again today, that pirates have taken another family off the somalia coast.
i am wondering, is it really possible in 2011 that people in this world have not gotten news that this is a bad place to sail?
i mean, come on people, it is a troubled part of the world and even the military is having a hard time policing it.

Belief in the Afterlife - where do you sit on the scale?
by jgnat ini am three-quarters through the book, the time paradox: the new psychology of time that will change your lifeby philip zimbardo and john boyd.
it is taking longer than usual because i am earnestly applying the exercises as they appear in the book.
which means i have to be ready to change my habits...but enough about me.. zimbardo's argument throughout the book is that a person's time perspective deeply impacts their choices and their ability to be happy.
