Loft ear plugs 2

Lofts should come with ear plugs. I’m very pissed right now. My brother asked me earlier if he could have a couple buddies come over after work to play XBox for a couple hours. I figured they’d be gone by 2:30AM or 3AM at the latest. It’s 4:15AM now and I haven’t slept for 5 ...

Multi-purpose Puppies 4

In a drug raid in Columbia in 2005, officials found 10 Labrador drug dogs with heroin in their stomachs; used to smuggle drugs into the United States. Look at how cute these puppies are:   This reminded me of another part of the world where my friend was backpacking China and he came across a ...

Christmas fever 1

Earlier today I had a feeling of emptiness and lonliness. I couldn’t understand why I had this feeling, being surrounded by thousands of people in a shopping mall, and living in a city of 4+ million people. Later on in the evening I spent time with some friends I haven’t seen in a while. I ...

Goodbye Grandma 3

At 5:10AM this morning, Grandma Schwartz passed away at age 82 in a relatively painless death while holding the hands of her son Dean, daughter Dawn, and grandson Geoff. In one last act of unselfesh kindness, she held on to her life long enough to say goodbye to her Grandaughter Amy and husband Frank who ...

… man and I don’t want to swim 3

The extent of the damage in New Orleans is overwhelming, and it’s totally unimaginable what the victims are going through. I find it unfathomable with the amount of money being pumped into Iraq every day that there can be 15,000-20,000 people stranded, homeless and running out of food and water. You can be sure that ...

New Orleans is sinking 6

In less than 6 hours, New Orleans is going to be under full assault from Hurricane Katrina. The city has been evacuated with the NFL team the New Orleans Saint’s stadium being used as an emergency shelter for those who don’t evacuate. All major highways have one-way traffic leaving the city, and 485,000 people are ...

Pilots, passengers freeze to death

This story is unbelievable. A 737 plane with nobody behind the controls has slammed into a mountain, killing all 115 passengers and 6 crew members. The pilots had reported an air conditioning problem and a passenger on the plane had sent a text message to his cousin telling him that it’s freezing on the plane. ...

When is it really the ‘right time’? 10

In our short time together, I have learned a lot from you. As I sit here at work, I try to focus, but my mind wanders and ponders all of the ‘what ifs’. What if we had met at different stages in our lives? I also ponder the ‘what wills’, and I wonder what the ...

Do all good things come to an end?

… I would have done anything for that girl

Insincerity and heartache 3

What are you supposed to believe when a person you really care about appears to be sincere but their actions don’t reflect what they say? Is everything supposed to be fine the next day when they act like nothing happened, not realizing what pain they’ve put you through? It’s amazing how much impact a person ...
