Posted on April 29, 2008 by d3admin

Self Inflation

Posted on April 22, 2008 by d3admin

No?

Posted on April 18, 2008 by d3admin

There are countless ways to say NO. But NO is still NO. NO is the absence of yes. Keep this in mind when dealing with others. Many don’t want to say no; they’re not comfortable with it. They mean NO, … Continue reading →

Parents: Control Isn’t Love

Posted on April 15, 2008 by d3admin

Decisions, Emotions

Posted on March 31, 2008 by d3admin

News Flash: Reality Is Your Friend!

Posted on March 28, 2008 by d3admin

I don’t believe in mystical devils and possessions. But I do believe in their real-life equivalents. People actually create their own demons. No, they don’t mean to do so–but they still do. How? Mainly by refusing to face facts in … Continue reading →

Those Who Can, Reason; Those Who Can’t, Insult

Posted on March 26, 2008 by d3admin
