Bullshit

Imagine a man six feet three inches tall, weighing aproximately 225 pounds, and exceedingly charming. His hair is jet black with a natural curl in the front, complimenting his ocean blue eyes. He has a muscular bodybuilder’s physique with a “hero’s jaw” that gives him a striking appearance. His appearal consists of bright blue long johns, red trunks and boots, a red cape and a yellow belt. On his eye- catching costume, the famous “S” logo is stitched on his chest. Picture this man whom possesses…

scored lower than some white people did on the test. He then goes far beyond a line of hate rhetoric that he crossed miles ago when he begins to talk about how Derek should not swallow everything this teacher says to him whole because it “N***er Bullshit”. Now this scene is very important in the development of Derek himself, but it is almost more important in the development of his younger brother, Danny. Derek looks to his role model, his father, and listens strongly to the words that he has to…

like that so I wrote her a rational and calm letter of everything that had been bothering me. She wrote me back a hot mess angry letter that only pissed me off more than I already was. I wrote her back a short paragraph telling her I was over her bullshit and was not going to talk to…

Tangentially, the Times reported that the average YouTube "star" — someone with 3 to 7 million followers — can command nearly $190,000 on average for a single sponsored post placed on their channel. DeFranco disputed this amount, calling it "somewhat bullshit" and pointing out that subscriber numbers don’t automatically translate to user engagement (which generally means "interacting" with a video by commenting on it, sharing it, etc.) — you might subscribe to a channel but never watch it again.…

Love’s Executioner Irvin Yalom, the author of Love’s Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy, is a book about ten different clients and their stories. In each chapter, Yalom discusses the time spent with each client in therapy. He uses this book to give people an insight into what he faced as a therapist. My purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the theories he used throughout the book, and point out a few of the times each theory was used. Throughout Love’s Executioner, Irvin…

“We talk about important shit and we do sober shit.” Sitting in a hospital’s auditorium on a Thursday night this phrase summarized the reason behind the meetings of Narcotics Anonymous. Important shit was indeed going on. The people in the room varying from all ages and backgrounds were there to mend their lives back together to the standards that society saw fit and they all had the unequivocal support of each other. The standards are being sober and not depending on any drugs or alcohol. The…

“If you can’t love yourself how in the hell you going to love somebody else?“ While this particular quote ends every episode of RuPaul Charles’ self titled reality show RuPaul‘s Drag Race, most people have heard this sentiment throughout their life. It is made clear from a young age that it is important to accept who you are; unless, of course, your identity deviates from what is deemed normal. In my case, living in a Catholic, Republican, southern Louisiana suburb, being gay put me way outside…

Emotions play an important role in our lives and fear is one of them. Fear makes you act out impulsively or in other words, not question what you are doing. The only thing on your mind when you are afraid is to remain safe, no matter what or how that means to get there. In the song “ Words I Never Said” sung and written by Lupe Fiasco, he demonstrates how fear is one of our biggest and weakest emotions.“ Words I Never Said” by Lupe Fiasco, illustrates that in American society today, people…

graduate and get the hell out of this damn high school and move on with my life. Many people claim that high school is the “best four years of your life” and that you “should make the best of high school”, while you “still have time.” That is absolute bullshit. As my ghost bus pulls up to school, I quickly escape and head off to class. The day is filled with jocks throwing footballs from across the hallway and girls…

Sophie normally drove straight past Granger. The horse's pasture was a quarter mile from the house, and she'd speed by, the car throwing gravel up from the dirt road, not seeing him even as she looked right at him. But today she rounded the corner and caught Granger in the act. She put the Suburban in park, rolled down her window, and watched. There was something familiar in the rhythm of his actions, something she couldn't place. The horse pulled back his suede lips, exposing teeth and pale…
