Oh, why did I even sign up for this class? I didn’t know we’d have to practice auditioning… It’s not fair. Everybody will be looking at me, judging me. If I do one thing wrong everybody is going to notice, and laugh at me, and I’m going to be so embarrassed. The lights will be beaming in my eyes and my hands will start shaking … Continue reading I Hate Acting.
I don’t get all the fuss over the “failure” of the government to help, Chimanimani. Why should we care about those losers? All that bitching about a few flooded basements! I’ve got nothing against charity: let the Salvation Army give them soup and blankets. But people who choose to live in a crime-ridden area prone to flooding? People too stupid or lazy to evacuate when … Continue reading Why should we care?
I went into my local bank this week and saw a big sign that from now on they will charge a $15 fee for cashing checks for someone without a bank account there. Why?..
Everything in Creation is made from energy — and that’s sex. When the scientists recognize that quarks and quirks and such are sexual energies, they will start to understand things. Will they ever be able to prove it all with math, like they want to do? Who knows? Sexual energies may not give a hoot about math. But if you look out into space, and … Continue reading Sex and Creation
Global warming’s going to submerge the planet? I don’t think so. Not that I don’t believe in Global Warming. I do. Ocean levels are rising, you can see it. But submergence doesn’t happen overnight. A natural cycle, of deserts and melting pole caps, is followed by another cyclic Age of Ice. Maybe we are destroying the planet: we’ll get what we deserve. But either way, … Continue reading Global Warming is going to submerge the planet
End homelessness? Why? Why would you want to do that? I mean, none of us wants the mentally ill to be wandering around the streets without medicine or shelter. We want to cure disease. We want to feed the hungry, clean up crime in the parks. End littering! But homelessness? What ever happened to freedom? Why should a person have to live in a house, … Continue reading Why would we end homelessness?
March 3 was World Book Day this year and many schools encourage students to dress up as a favourite character from a book. I was delighted that one young reader dressed as Amanda in Spain! Her aunt sent me a picture. How special is that? I love seeing who children choose to dress up as. […] World Book Day 2022 Continue reading World Book Day 2022
Long time ago, people who sacrificed their sleep, family, food, laughter and other joys of life were called Saints. But now, they are called IT professionals. The cause of people’s unhappiness is sacrificing what they want most for what they want now. Your role may be thankless, but if you’re willing to give it your […] Sacrifices Continue reading Sacrifices
You’re not big, you’re fat. Let’s be slightly more truthful. Sometimes being the bigger person means smiling and nodding while fantasizing about punching the other person in the throat. Not just because they called you fat but because they absolutely deserve it. The truth remains that you’re round around where your edges are supposed to […] The Bigger Person Continue reading The Bigger Person
Moms stay up all night overthinking about their children. A job nobody asked them to do but they brought it upon themselves anyways. What’s worse is that moms get upset that we don’t appreciate the fact that they do this. Like it is somehow our fault. And you know they mean well, they’re just going […] The Joys of Motherhood Continue reading The Joys of Motherhood
