I don't usually talk about stuff like this cause to me it falls under the non-theological, unscientific and otherwise speculative theory department. But people aren't as shallow as we think they are. I mean, some people get hung up about how "Fat" they are, or how ugly they think they are or...

I was curious. Does anyone else see the opposite sex and in an instant see the whole relationship play itself out before your eyes? Like every person is a relationship and every relationship is an alternative timeline. Like you can see where person A is going to be controlling and you...

You know what I miss about now being a single adult? Camp. Whether its Camp Winnepuchimassenuckie or Camp Praise and Worship. I miss spending a week with my peers doing activities and sports and exploring. When you force adults to do stuff like that you get shows like Survivor. But as...

I have a hard time setting goals. Because, even when the goal is achieved. There lies a void on the other side. An Abyss just beyond the success of triumph. If I run a marathon and train for a year to do it, then what? I have many many such accomplishments to my name. Things that I've done...

I just wanted to make a thread for the nonsensical laughs. Like Kitchen Alchemy gone wrong.... If you get too close to the magic pot, your robe will get Enchanted. ;)

Shane Claiborne.... This counter culture bad boy taught me about the realities of Poverty. I volunteered and learned first hand what being ridiculously poor is all about. I learned why the popular phase "Get a job" is pointless to the realities of Homeless Americans. Thanks Shane! Hey look...

There's 6.5 billion people in the world. Roughly half of them are people of the opposite gender. There are thousands of languages, hundreds of peoples, and beauty in all shapes colors and sizes. I stood on the observation deck of the sears tower in Chicago, I was breathless at the size of...

Have you ever seen someone on the street and did a double take? Maybe you wave? Maybe you just get excited all by yourself? Or maybe its a smell... And its like you're back there in that place. My room mate just bought a car recently and I commented that it smelled good. So then he went...

We always talk about, how to get into it. How to work through it. How to be the kind of person in a relationship that people want to have. But how do you pull the plug? I kind-a-sorta went on a Pseudo-date with someone recently. She doesn't really know me but, we went to a weird...

This Peace I got in my hand is the Quarterback, and the Understanding, now that is the Football. And Mr Quarterback here, well lets just say he's gonna throw for 3,000 thousand yards this season. *KIDDING* I learned something in my travels this last year. I learned to trust in a way that is...

After taking Arwen's Peanuts Quiz a thought magically meandered into my head. We are all very different people. Person 1: sees being single as the inevitable curse of doom places upon them, they hate it but, they are powerless to fight against it. No matter how hard they try the outcome of...

Are there some "Virtues" that are counterintuitive to finding a mate in our Culture? I'm curious about an idea that I don't readily know how to put into words. Essentially, speaking on Western Protestant Christian culture I wonder why there is a growing sense of hopelessness...
