      I learn plenty gerunds with some play.

  3. Please read the first 1,000 words of my novel. I posted it in book talk. Let me know if it seems interesting enough that you'd want to keep reading.

      31 views and not a single critic? I'm not asking you to like it. I want to know if my writing style is still robotic and bland or if it's appealing enough to want to read the next 2,000 words.

  4. I feel like I've come so far as a writer. Would any of you be interested in reading the first chapter of my novel?

      I didn't know what happiness was until I got married. Of course by then it was too late. (pun intended) But seriously, congratulations. I love marriage!

  8. Being an atheist feels kind of like being the only sober person in a car, while nobody will let you drive.

      Is that original to you. It's pretty good - I might have to steal it.

      No it's not lol, a majority of the witty things I post on statuses aren't mine. Just stuff I think you guys will find funny XD

       

  9. Work hard and live life to the fullest. You'll have plenty of time to rest when you're dead.

      Exactly. Life is what happens whilst you're making other plans.

  10. I see the world when I look into my sons eyes. I want to give him everything, I want to be able to send him to private school. I want him to feel like every option and path is available in life. Working 12 hour shifts on the beach right now, joining police academy in October, planning on finishing my novel this year, I'm grinding out here!

      It's a sci-fi fictional story about alien overlords that entails a awesome conspiracy theory with everything from area 51 to the jfk assasination to the worlds massive in-distribution of wealth. I've got some really cool main characters who twist how you should feel about what they do, whats right and wrong. With an ending you don't see coming that can really make you think about life. The theme of the book is - What we do now as a society will impact who we are as a species down...

      I've posted about my book on here but it's come so far since then. Probably why I haven't been actively writing on here lately.

  12. Something awesome - Were constantly evolving, moving forward, and adapting to our now self engineered environment. Industrialization, the digital age, maybe even soon genetic engineering. Were. freaking. awesome.

  13. What if being created in gods image is a metaphor, and the universe is god?

      Some people think about it like that, but most Christians think that god is a man

  14. Grayson Adam Jones, 6 pounds 10 ounces. January 16th, 2014 at 8:12 pm. He's finally here :)

  15. If we valued education here in America like we value the glamorized lives of celebrities, the possibilities could be endless.

  16. Misanthropy ensues when the expectations that are founded by religion and unrealistic ideals are not met. We are a species, we are no more or better than animals. This is the purest answer for all of our worldly problems from greedy in-distribution of resources to war. It's this kind of thinking that takes away the beauty from life, the artistic compatibility of science and aesthetics. This kind of thinking can build misanthropy by focusing on the negative now and not the amazement of how...

      far we have come with how far opportunity we have.

  17. Grayson Adam Jones, will be here within 13 days. I can't wait, all the memories were going to make together. I'm happy and scared at the same time, I want to be the best parent I can while being able to be a friend and someone for him to look up to. Also, isn't his name just badass? Grayson Adam Jones, has kind of a founding father sort of ring to it.

      Will keep an eye for the good news! Good Luck and best wishes for mom-to-be

  18. Sense I have started waking up before sunrise and going to bed earlier, I feel so much better. I wonder if this can have any effect on your health?

      For me it works because all the bad/harmful/fun things I do that make me feel like crap take place in the evening/night/early morning. ie If you are rising and sleeping with the sun there is little chance of drinking too much bad vodka in soho nightclubs (thursday - yuck)

    3. fresh

      fresh

      yes,imatfaal,i feel the same way. why is it easy to feel bad at night ??

  20. My son will be born in less than two months! Oh no.... If he's anything like me, I'm gonna get my payback. Karma is coming full force, my sons teachers are going to call home everyday. XD

  21. I put my rootbeer in a square cup, now it's just beer.

  22. When you talk about the economy, if you only put Americas economy into perspective your leaving out the big picture. I'm not talking economics like GDP or what they teach you in economics class, I'm talking why goods are produced and what their chain reaction relation is to all other goods. From raw material to processed goods, when you look at the worlds economic system as a whole it at first seems almost repulsive. How much is taken away from the planet to how much is spewed out for...

  23. Americas vast inequality didn't just happen, it was politically engineered

  24. My girlfriend broke up with me, but she said we can still be cousins.
