those are badass. if you do a hangout thing look into wifi (internet access), getting bands to come and play so that it can be a day time and nighttime hang out.

A close friend of mine has a cousin who was about 3 at the time of this story. They were in their minivan travelling someplace when his mother scolded him for not being in his seat.
He mutters under his breath, "Stupid.."
"What did you say Trevor?!"
"Um, I said soup!"

Richie's Random Thoughts: Moral Ambiguity
by RichieRich inin high school, it was sad day when "beloved" by toni morrison hit my desk.
the book was thick and worn, with a bright purple cover that was sure to smile up at me mockingly from my bag whenever i looked in it.. the teacher who dropped it on my desk was a wise woman.
she was young, and had just finished her phd.

"When I was a young man every thing was black and white, good and evil you see. But then I grew to realize that there was only grey" ~ The Highlander
I'd like to believe that it is not black and white but technicolor. Certain animals are endangered, but I'll be damned if I go hungry protecting one. The problem with judgements that seem moral to the person making the choice that feels right to them is that it takes little consideration into the rights and freedoms of others. This is a difficult question to answer because it is wrought with emotion. There is no answer that one can come to that is perfectly in line with the thinking of others. It falls to us to make the choice that is right for us and for the parties that we affect by said choice to the best of our ability.
Parenting is one of these areas. Discipline as well. A main cornerstone of rebellion and establishing our own values is to tear down in thought the boundaries that our parents placed on our thoughts and the immobility placed on our actions to better understand who we truly are.

better things?
vaginas. Vaginas are way better. Look, I love penetrating, but you have to admit, the idea of having an organ whose only purpose is pleasure (the clitoris) and then being able to have vaginal and clitoral orgasms sounds pretty freaking okay by me.
kids? that is what birth control and tubal ligation is for.
boobs? omg, need i say more?
besides, girls feel nice to the touch, smell good, taste good. i've never really tasted a guy to know the difference, but i have tasted myself. not quite as tasty, lemme tell ya.

by BlackSwan of Memphis inas of august 1, mr.blackswan will join the ranks of the thousands of unemployed michiganders.. they are shipping his job, along with the rest of production to grand rapids, mi.
which is 2 hours away.. my response was tears.
fear is a big problem.. michigan is just not the place for jobs right now.. so, we are planning on having to look out of state.

Are You Afraid Of Death?
by serotonin_wraith ini'm not afraid at all.
i'd like to experience a full life, and do the things i want to do before i die, but death itself just doesn't frighten me.. i was unconscious for several hours last night as i slept, and experiencing nothing feels absoluely fine.
before i was born, i went through the same thing- nothing (for several billion years or more infact).

not afraid of dying as much as leaving things undone. i have a certain amount of things that I know I must accomplish. the dying part would put a hamper on the things i know i have to finish.

if its an issue of self esteem, you've got to find something that he's really good at and keep showing him how superior he is with that thing. guitar, baseball, school work even... im sure you do and i'm sure that you praise him loads. maybe if it was something he could showcase that other people could see him be good at. mom's tend to be biased in the mind of kids.

i suck at most sports except ones that depend on brute force. i don't "talk like a black guy". major issues for a kid. for me the shift in my mind came when i just started agreeing with people.
"Your mom is such a whore!"
'Yeah, she is. In fact she decided to changer her mind about that charity lay last week and she wants her $20.00 from you.'
"You have buck teeth"
'Wow, that's orignal, did you think it up on your own or were you working on that all night?'
"Hey, its Domi-dick" (my name is Dominick)
'For liking girls you sure do seem interested in what I got in my pants.'
I dont know, maybe this stuff comes in time but perhaps you can share some of this with him. It took me a while to get it on my own but I wish someone had told me how easy it was to stand up to verbal bullies.
"You don't kick the ball straight."
'Yeah, but if I keep practicing, I'll get this. What are you going to do about your face?'
Maybe that was mean, but you get the idea. I hope this helps.
