Idiot

Nothing bums me more than having to say to the guys at the hunting store that I am now working for Bennet Newman. After spending many years making fun of his fake love for the wilderness, I feel like the most hypocrite person in the planet. When I was a kid my dream was to live in the mountains in my tent, hunting and hiking every day. I wanted to be a hunter like my father. He taught me every little thing about hunting and surviving in the mountains. He was famous in the hunting world for his…

Eugene D. Genovese was an American historian born in the year 1930 in Brooklyn, New York.

In his book, Mere Christianity, Lewis (1952) discusses the concept of humility from the perspective of pride, in such a way as to allow the reader understand what humility is not. For example, in the following statement Lewis attempts to explain that pride causes an individual to possess a superiority complex, which seems to remove them from any awareness of others and places focus only on themselves, “The real black, diabolical Pride comes from when you look down on others so much that you do…

Dreams are really something aren't they? Dreams can play in your head theatre nice and pleasant, they can play wild and spectacular, they can play terrifying and violent, and some just straight up go insane. Most of the dreams from my childhood were exactly like the last description. They just take some bad advice from my subconscious and go nuts with it. I possess this one set of dreams that I remember very well, and fit the criteria of ‘insane’. Most of these dreams, my 2nd grade self…

First became aware of Dr. Kinnie's work through his now ancient software Magic Mountain, Magic Mirror and Merlin which changed my life (for the better.) Took a lot of doing to find out his name and thus find this book but worth all the time and effort. Currently reading his book Magic Theater which I found used here on Amazon. His work may seem a bit off the beaten track but that's part of it's appeal. Not only has it changed my life for the better but has provided me with a tool kit to continue…

Q1 “`Bah!' said Scrooge, `Humbug!'” From Page 2 This stands out to me how Scrooge showed disgust to the Christmas season in two words. He uses this quote throughout the story when someone was talking to him. Q2 “If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!” From Page 2 This stands out to me how Scrooge is so mean about Christmas that if he had the…
