We outdo others in useless things. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Is god a capital thing?

We outdo others in useless things. Monday, November 30, 2009. My neglected childhood, (sniffle). I've only recently realised that I was a dreadfully neglected child of selfish, uncaring parents who were far more bothered with putting food on my plate than with my emotional well-being. The evil things. Ten minutes later, as I watched the last car drive away, I wondered why we're even surprised that children these days grow up to be. well, not. The little tell-tale stood calculating his odds- which shows t...

"Language is just something people use to get ideas across, and I really don't understand people can politicse something like language. He complained.

We outdo others in useless things. Monday, October 12, 2009. I like complicating things, mostly because it makes me feel smart.
