This week’s quest to find out how I fit into the big scheme of things started last Saturday when an older ticket taker–a man say in his late 60s or 70s–gave me two tickets to see Horrible Bosses. After I paid just $20 for the two tickets, I looked at the pricing because I knew …
If you are watching The Bachelorette this season then you know who Bentley is, and you know why he is a factor. As usual, something unprecedented happened in the Bachelorette house. Yes, a contestant named Bentley Williams left the show mid-season with what he called a “dot dot dot.” That is, rather than telling Ashley …
If you are old enough to remember the first run of the Flintstones, then you probably remember that Fred’s hobby is bowling, and if you watch Honeymooner’s re-runs you probably notice that Ralph and Norton both worship their bowling balls. However, bowling as a symbol of the good life is not confined to television sitcoms. …
When I was a practicing Buddhist, we talked about raising our life condition in order to manifest what we wanted. If you read my earlier post about my involvement in the NSA organization, you would know that I chanted for four years and we were essentially manifesting what we wanted by making lists and chanting …

I started intentional manifesting probably before I knew that is what I was doing. When I was sixteen years old I was in a car accident and hospitalized. I experienced the NDE but there was no white light. I was never really close to death. However, I was in and out of consciousness and remember …
Today, Anthony Weiner held a press conference and admitted to sending the tweet in question. This is yet another sex scandal involving another elected official. I do not think that being in elected office renders anyone more likely to engage in sexting or affairs, but we are no longer surprised when these scandals break. No …
The 2011 season finale of Desperate Housewives is perhaps controversial. The whole show in fact treads on ethical issues. In the episode, Carlos killed his wife’s stepfather, and the killing was something that probably anyone of us would do. It seems justifiable. The stepfather had stalked Gabby for weeks and he raped her when she …
I have been watching the Bachelor and Bachelorette shows for a few seasons. That a man or a woman could potentially find true love in this show is troubling, particularly because it is contrived. There is no magic or synchronicity. You go on the show. You fall in love. That is what happens. It kind of …
Writing a research paper can be a daunting task, but it need not be. Part of the reason we struggle with getting things done—such as writing a term paper—is that it is difficult to get started. We wait until the last minute, and that is never good. Therefore, applying some of the following suggestions to …
