I just recently decided to apply for a higher paying job at a local water park. As of now I work as a bagger at a local grocery market, where the pay is low, but the co-workers and the managers are great. I decided to risk it all to see how the new job goes, and I hope that the pay ( since it is my pay plus another half of my salary) will make the switch worthwhile. I feel decidely lousy jumping out on my boss, but he will get two weeks notice and I really don't want to burn any bridges behind...

I've noticed that females are the masters of multitasking. I have a single track mind, it's hard to focus on several things at once. I would rather take my time and get it done well than get a load of thing s done and do the semi quality. The thing is girls can do them all at once with fairly high quality, or attention to detail. My question is for the girls, how can you do a little bit of everything without the alot of nothing? I was with a group the other night and I tried to follow the...

Saturday! That word held magic when I was a little kid. Now it just means spending alot of time either working (which I wish I could do) or tracking people down to hang out. I still love Saturday because it's a break from the old routine, but when all your friends are working, it can get pretty dull. When did Saturday loose all its flavor? When did I start to regard that one day of the week as a break from routine, in a not so pleasant way? Why don't I look forward to just doing absolute...

It is time for the walls to come crashing down, hopefully though not around my ears. While it may have taken the Israelites seven days to take down the walls of Jerico, physical walls may be easier than the wall I've built around my heart. But as a man who is not only an example to me, but a friend as well pointed out, walls work not only to keep hurtful things out (here I thought he would go with the cliche term of "not letting good things in" but instead he said) but would keep me from givi...

I was sitting in a class the other day, the teacher had finished lecture time and I was having an interesting conversation with a fellow student. We were discussing religion, politics and the homosexuality issue. After some time I started to see a pattern to the converstion. When either of us wanted to flatten the others comment the sentence would start, "I respect your point of view, but...". I noticed that each time this was said the person on the receiving end would get slightly angry that...

Recently a person I knew, not too well, committed suicide. While nothing in my personal life was affected it really got me to start thinking about my own mortality. I really am just a speck in the wind like everyone else on the planet. I have a hard time thinking that life is really that short and can be taken away with a single decision. Why would anytone voluntarily choose to end their life. Is it because their life is more miserable than others? For some reason I don't believe that, and I...

I got the chance to walk in the rain again. And I jumped in puddles too! All because I got to hang out with a beautiful friend of mine.

I've taken alot of abuse over the years because I went to a liberal school, but I have very conservative beliefs. One of the beliefs is in superatural design, or creationsim. The beating I took was because though the public school can't prove either one, they decided to take the one with the least amount of evidence to back it up. My problem is that my decision is based on very firm facts and evidence, but I'm not very good an remembering that evidence in a presentable form. I found a site fo...

I was supposed to be conoeing right now, but due to rain the trip was cancelled. The fact that we were going to be on the water, and couldn't take a little water above us disturbs me. Why on earth are we worried about a little rain. The I thought about the way that everyone runs for cover when it rains. What the heck is wrong with us. I'm that odd guy you see, who walks down the street in the pouring rain in a T-shirt. I like the rain, and I still have a childish fascination with it. I a...

Over the past couple years I have seen countless people swear that they will change for the better. 99% of those promises fell through and life stayed the same. While thinking about it I realized that I of all people have changed enormously. Some unfortunately for the worse, but alot for the better. Honestly it still surprises me how outgoing I've learned to be. I'm still an introvert, I get my energy back from being alone, but I can do the social scene now. I made friends, I lost people ...

The title of this piece makes it sound like a problem with the opposite sex, but it isn't. My problem is that I think a friendship that I have cherished for many years may be at an end. My friend and I did everything that two guys could, and got into our fair share of trouble (believe it or not). I think that it is all coming to an end for several reasons. We used to hang out at least once a week, most of the time more. In summer we took road trips, visited friends, and had conversations...

I'm sitting in a college hallway, waiting to take a math evalutation test that I not only, don't want to take, but don't need to. I can tell them exactly how good I am at math, very bad. So why am I sitting here with a dozen other people all in the same situation as me. None want to take it, but here we are so we can get appropriate college classes. The worst thing is that I'm going for a major in literature. How pointless can one test get. I don't want to take math, I won't need this level o...

Believe it or not I am at college at last. I'm sitting in my dorm room typing on a laptop that is wirelessly connected to the internet. This may not sound like big news to you, but this is a breakthrough in life for me.Excited or not I need to keep this short so AI can make it in time for campus tour. YEEEEHAW!

Wow, that thrill that you receive when you know you just passed through 12 years of preliminary schooling is amazing! I seriously never thought I would make it this far. But here I am, ready to head off to college this fall for school that I have to pay for. I'm both excited and a little nervous for college. It will be my soul searching journey! Oh yeah! college campus here I come!!!

Ah, how easy is it to avoid people on the internet. As soon as you see them sign on, you simply sign off, or better yet use a ghost program. The downfall to this is, they realize they are being avoided. So whats the point I'm wondering. Prolonging the uncomfortable feeling that makes you avoid someone in the first place. There is a difference between cutting all communications off, and just making sure that the person doesn't get a chance to speak to you, and I'm wondering what the point is. ...
