"I'm sorry". - foreverserenity two words which are the most difficult to say, if you believe you're super-human. For ordinary humans, like most of us, after a period of reflection, it comes out naturally.
"i'm constantly amazed by your almost cinematic journalistic skills." TY, Kb, but really I don't write to impress people. Some of my blogs are just outpourings and some like this one , I deem important to post in the same way some people would want to file an important office report. So, it really doesn't matter to me if a reader thinks the post is incredulous or not. The important thing is getting and documenting the message out. Events are n
SushiK Kingbee: Everything I've blogged about have been experienced, guys. Dates and names unterstandably have to be mixed up , but the message remains the same. Some of my posts just need to be out. If you doubt it, that's fine by me. There are really other sources you can cross-check it with.
It was the oddest feeling I have ever experienced . There I was in this tiny furnished living room enough to fit five people of Asian stature lying down side by side. There were already five adults with three kids scampering in the place. Then there was this dog Family,with Father Dog weaving in and out beneath our seated legs. With a plate of freshly cooked fried ch
In the same troubling way, the same could be said for MapQuest. But somebody's got to get to Google fast.
It's strange you should be brooding on the same thing that's going on the back of my mind. I did a post recently and it was actually a philosophical question. By way of emphasizing the message I had to cite several links, two of which selectively could not be connected to my post, but were otherwise accessible via Google. http://scatter629.joeuser.com/ Link Don't you think they'd make matters worse if they me
For the readers who are unable to be connected to link No. 2 (which is taken from an NPR news on Pres. Bush taking the Blame for the Katrina disaster) and Link No.4 (which is a Homeland Security newssite which documented the absence of WMDs in Iraq as an intelligence failure). Both sites are accessible thru Google, but for some unexplainable reason could not be linked to this post using the same URLs
"Now I just make the admission and move on." - MM Exactly my point. The first hard step is really admitting that a mistake, no matter how tragic, has been made. Once, we get over that, we can move on. The problem is,for many people, that first hard step seems insurmountable, so they end up justifying the unjustifiable and rationalizing the first foolish steps they made. They can't move on.
okay, the admin edit got corrected or just maybe got delayed. whatever.
I've been edited, with regards to presenting the other links. But whattheheck. The geist is there.
On an 18-hour flight where you choose to go economy and you're between snoozing and waking up interspersed with glimpses of another passenger's socked feet in the empty seat beside you, you decide to make the best of the moment by grabbing those earphones and finally watching the in-flight movie rerun( which are the fare, by today's budget-strapped airlines). I mean,
I think Indonesia is experiencing what its northen neighbor, the Philippines experienced some decades ago when it tried subsidizing oil prices, then later lifted subsidies to make the economy perform realistically in the world market. When gas prices climbed up, legislators started floating the idea of bringing back the subsidies, but the concensus was to stay the course. The Philippine economy despite the changes with the global market, weathered the
Ok, Tex, I''l do this. 1.I think you refer to the US MSM. European news sources are of course non-MSM, by the JU audience 2 Yes, in the US, it is. It tries not to be, but the slant shows. 3.CNN, BBC, DeutscheWelle, Pravda 4.They all are in one way . That's why I don't rely on just the US news source. You'd really be surprised. 5. I don't necessarily rely on one news source, but if a link's analysis is unassailable( verified from ot
so you're black. Ja, und..? You sound just the same to me. But I also wondered what was behind the choice of that orange muppet for an ativar.
"These children will learn the value of hard work..These children will learn that we must cooperate to get things done. These children will be forever bonded to each other and to their parents. " - TW I wouldn't have it any other way, SUVs and name brand clothes nothwithstanding.
I hate to raise the hackles of Bush fans out there, but really, what we're trying to right now is confront the problem we didn't need to have because we're already there. We give moral support to our troops because they have to do their job and we just hope they come home safely. We keep a respectful silence on the initiatives of a Commander-in-Chief even if the strain on our resources shows and an honorable closure to this War seems evasive at the mom
I guess when I think about it, the only credentials I can offer when I write about this piece were those disaster relief activities that came by way of my Asian work tour. Coming back to the US just meant that - coming home ,you know , cleaning the house, putting out the garbage , checking the mail and just about everything that had nothing to do with disaster. The
Good point. Like others before you, we're finally getting the drift of where our foreign policy is leading us into.
I don't think there's any "IF" to global warming, and evidences of rising water levels as a cause of it. Scientific and evidence-based journals are full of it. The tragedy of New Orleans in Katrina's wake only made bare the geographical vulnerability of this city to this environmental trend so long as men keep thinking they shouldn't be doing anything now to prevent it from happening.
In this Age where assessment of Multiple Intelligence (one of which, "emotional intelligence", as already pointed out by Dr. Donald) evokes keener interest, it's curious to see the traditional IQ Test put to work to bring out a conclusion that women have struggled half a century to prove more mythical than verifiable. Although the numbers in the study seem formidable,and as a guy , I just should just remain flattered (and shut up), I'd like to know t
Lemme get this right...the casino exit will be built beside the Wailing Wall ? -and all the unearthed tunnels could still be used for package tours into the Gaza strip ? Greatt!!
In general, "assuming" or presuming is not wise. If you tested yourself by observing people on a busy street, and just by the appearance of pedestrians, you "assumed" certain aspects of their character, you probably would be wrong , most of the time. "Assuming" covers up for the harder work involved in finding out the details, or just plain confirming your presumptions.
Certainly another bioethical issue "pregnant" (excuse the pun) with more questions than answers. But if you look back, there have been a lot of ethical or religious issues before such as those on self-mutilation and the sanctity of the body (considered the temple of the Holy Spirit)which frowned on organ donation, and yet we find this a commonplace occurence today and even socially acceptable at that. Some religions even forbid blood transfusions, even
"ya gotta admit the reading and signing off thing is a much more sensible strategy than my original plan of making the temple mount offlimits to all jews and muslims except those who'd sign a document claiming they don't masturbate. once those who did sign it visited and left the premises, they'd be immediately arrested and executed for lying, fanaticism or both" - Kb I have to agree with the strategy being sensible when compared to your ori
"too bad nobody made sharon read and sign off on it." -Kb I was thinking, maybe somebody already did. That probably explains the painful about-face he had to do. It's surprising that to this day and age, most people don't see the solution to the MidEast problem as part and parcel of the solution to Terrorism. It's probably more difficult making a conceptual quantum leap on religious tolerance than to just connect the dots. Let's hope thi
