So my brother sat me down this morning to have a little talk. It seems that he is considering going into the military. Well more than that, he told me that he is 95% certain he will. Army, to be specific. The thought of them paying for his college education, while at the same time [...]
Be All That You Can Be
Quotes: Clifton Paul Fadiman
When you read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before. You see more in you than there was before.
What’s Your Passion?
I remember as a teen, and even older, sitting around with a paper notebook and collecting my favorite quotes from books I read. Or my favorite poems, music lyrics, and even once I started on a ‘history’ of characters from a favorite book series I had been reading. The only problem with that, it was [...]
Quotes: Don Quinn
“A bachelor is a selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a divorce.”
Legend of the Seeker
Victoria was awesome enough to get me the DVD of the Legend of the Seeker, the whole first season. Five DVD’s full of my favorite TV show, based off one of my favorite book series of all time, The Sword of Truth, by Terry Goodkind. Of course they don’t exactly follow along the story of [...]
World of Whoa
Yup, this is pretty much how I’ve been spending my time lately. Not that I feel bad, it’s not like I have a job or a family I’m neglecting! But I can now say I have firsthand knowledge of how this game can break marriages apart, cause heath problems, and kill off any social life [...]
Free Sounds Good To Me
One of the best perks I’ve discovered since switching to reading books digitally is the abundance of free (and legal!) eBooks out there. Sure sometimes I miss that physically feeling of holding a ‘real’ book, and physically ‘seeing’ yourself get closer to the end as you read page-by-page. And I do still read a paper-book now and again, usually [...]
Gadget Lover
I had a funny one-sided conversation with my mom yesterday, where she was talking — rather humorously — about my brother and his obsession with his car. She was saying how amusing it is to see him spending so much time (and money) caring for it and modifying it, because that is exactly how our father has [...]
The Road
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them [...]
End Of Another Chapter
I grew up in the sort of family that taught me to always do my best, and I would never have anything to be ashamed of. I wasn’t the brightest kid, I admit. I didn’t get amazing grades. I didn’t ‘wow’ my teachers. I was more than a little lazy, and often didn’t put in [...]
