Be The Dog

Appalachian State 34 Michigan 32 Even sports fanatics were saying "Appalachian Who?" Even people who did not know much about sports knew that it was big news that some tiny school from North Carolina had beaten perennial powerhouse Michigan on their field no less. People have long detested the New York Yankees for no other reason than they win. People right now are rooting against the New England Patriots because the press has painted them as invincible.

The moral here is who the heck wants to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. What is the fun in that? People distrust the competency and skill of those who have everything handed to them.

"Rocky" sold tickets because it was the story of a small time fighter, several time loser who proved himself and took it to Apollo Creed.

What you have to realize though is that in order for someone to be able to write that story you have to be determined to live it. You have to change the way you think. Once you have that accomplished, you have to change the way you act. Stop playing the victim and start being the victor.

My Six Month Old Is An Addict - And I Am Co-Dependant

At only six months old she has all the signs of an addict. Moody, puffy red eyes from crying, she can't sleep, fever, and constant drooling.

The thing that I am ashamed of is that I am an enabler. I am her supplier. I get the stuff for her. Yeah that's right, I am the "pusher man". Oh the humanity! click here for the rest of the article

Dear Ms. Paris Hilton,

I just wanted to add my two cents for what it is worth. Coincidentally I think it is worth about two cents....Canadian.

Don't worry, America will get over this. Rob Lowe had a thing. Hugh Grant had a thing. And I'm sure Pee Wee Herman still has a few fans out there. click here for the rest of the article
