Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance.: November 2009
http://iamcooper.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance. Saturday, November 07, 2009. All the Things that Went Wrong - Part Six. Day Six - Sunday, August 30th. I decide to call some of the wiser ones in our church for advice. When I use the hotel phone, it won't allow me to call long distance with Visa. I try calling collect. No one is answering. I can't get a hold of anyone. I must use my cellphone which costs a ridiculous amount of money. I get a hold of Ted and ask if I can call him back collect. He agrees. We try calling...

Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance.: May 2010
http://iamcooper.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance. Sunday, May 02, 2010. My Lot in Life. While I was in Italy I read the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. I would say the main thesis of the book is summed up by this excerpt, "the biggest misconception about success is that we do it solely on our smarts, ambition, hustle and hard work." This one idea has taken root within me and has altered my perspective on life. I'm not saying our individual efforts are insignificant. They are pretty darn cool! But rather, the circ...

Wisdom Begins in Wonder: White Lies - Part One
http://tonynobooks.blogspot.com/2009/04/white-lies.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. White Lies - Part One. Does anyone else ever struggle with wanting to be an honest yet positive person? I just watched an excellent short called “ validation. 8221; Jeff Hawker. Posted it on his blog and I highly recommend it as well. In real life is it that we hate non-stop positivity, or is it that we just think it’s impossible, and therefore hate insincerity? Words are certainly powerful. Is it OK to lie if it’s to spare some ones feelings? April 26, 2009 at 11:30 PM. Very de...

Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance.: More Albums for All Time
http://iamcooper.blogspot.com/2009/04/more-albums-for-all-time.html
Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance. Sunday, April 05, 2009. More Albums for All Time. A few months ago I posted a list of albums. That have a special place in my life. It doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in, I love listening to these songs. Well I have some new additions. By Taking Back Sunday. This band absolutely sucks in concert. One of the worst live bands I've ever seen, but their CDs are soooo good! Where You Want To Be. By Taking Back Sunday. Good choice on the albums though. I'll definite...

Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance. Thursday, November 04, 2010. It's time for me to put this blog to rest. I do love it dearly and I am really proud of many of the posts that I've written. However, I just lost all desire to keep it going. I also want to continue writing silly things, random thoughts, unusual stories, and things I find intriguing. What would you like me to write about? For all those faithful followers (all 5 of you), what aspects of my blog attract you the most? Looking forward to the jo...

Wisdom Begins in Wonder: June 2009
http://tonynobooks.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. My Bad Idea for a Novel! I have an idea for a book. Tell me what you think! 8211; A Jewish Pharisee named Bill who loves God, but really fell into the ministry in order that he not disappoint his parents. Bill is a good man who truly believes that by strictly upholding the tradition Jewish Law that he is both honoring God and helping people. He debates - the best decisions are made with a rational mind, not based on emotional whims. Bill thinks that this is upholding the law....

Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance.: August 2009
http://iamcooper.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. All the Things that Went Wrong - Part One. To truly appreciate the grad trip I just took my youth on, you must first hear all the misfortunes that befell us along the way. Day One - Tuesday, August 25th. The line I chose for the border crossing moved twice as slow as the line beside me. I'm not even exaggerating. It took us probably 30 mins to get across. The odometer screen on my rental van changes to "4% oil life". IHOP takes ages to bring...

Without An Acorn: April 2010
http://without-an-acorn.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 14. Sometimes it feels you make me stand on my hands. With my legs dangling above. Sometimes it's the looks that you don't give. When I'm just dying to see them. Love doesn't always fill the empty spaces. Or light up all the dark places. It doesn't always remember your name. Sometimes it's angry, and frustrated and rude. It's sometimes just a shell of something you knew. Love is desolate and then alive and open and then the Great Divide. Then you and I will split apart. Links to this post.

Without An Acorn: December 2009
http://without-an-acorn.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 18. I don't sleep like you. I don't wake up in the morning ready for the new day. I don't feel refreshed or energized. I don't sleep like you. And the rest, the rest is out of our hands, out of our control. It's the loss of control that haunts me. I don't sleep like you. But I bet you worry like me. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Branches to other acorns. Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance. Please enter thoughts after the beep: beeeeeep. This is the great adventure!
