Got Me a Jiz-zob, Got Me No Liz-zife

By Nathaniel :: August 30th, 2007 :: Living Exceptionally :: Comments (2)

I’m sure many a person my age looks around one day and asks, “Where did everybody go?” Friday night rolls around and I’ve got 4 or 5 people I can call, hopefully snagging 2 of them for a night out on the town. A few years ago it seemed like I couldn’t keep […]

Quotes are Best When Shared with a Friend

By Nathaniel :: August 24th, 2007 :: Quote Friday :: Comments (3)

There’s no doubt that the 20-something American male communicates better amongst his peers using movie quotes than actual, original statements.

By Nathaniel :: August 9th, 2007 :: Quote Friday :: Comments (0)

Last time’s quote was from an anonymous personal source . . . This time, let us look at what the great writer Charles Dickens wrote after visiting St. Louis in 1842:
 ”No man ever admits the unhealthiness of the place he dwells in (unless he is going away from it), and I shall therefore, I have […]

God’s Great Success

By Nathaniel :: August 6th, 2007 :: Personal Growth :: Comments (1)

Whatever religion you may be, it’s hard to deny that nature and the spirits came together and got something right in forming the Southern California coast.  I just spent a week in San Diego (I tend to go there a lot), and it never ceases to make me smile.  Waking up to 72 degrees no […]
