In the story “Sonny’s Blues” written by James Baldwin, Baldwin writes about the suffering we all face in life and how difficult it is making it through the darkness when one cannot see the light. It is the acknowledgement that one does…

#1 Reason Why People Fail at Diets People fail at diets because they can’t maintain the change. The old habits of binge eating, drinking sugary drinks, chips, cakes, sweets and usually nonvegetable snacks cannot be easily shaken after years of ingrained practice. The Atkins diet is a good example of this in a much shorter duration. In a nutshell, the diet is very rigid in carb restriction, especially in the first two weeks of the program.

I take the car and into Colorado Springs, hoping someone there can explain all of this to me. However, as I get to the city centre, there is no one around. Slowly I make my way through every street in Colorado Springs, either by foot or car. Doors have been left open; car’s still running, and pets left to fend for themselves. Again there are no humans in sight. Something has gone wrong, very horribly wrong. Could it be because I travelled in time? Have we upset the space-time continuum that much…

Now though it looked like her real living room, everything was brighter and had a more welcoming atmosphere. Coraline was lured by the smell of real home cooking when she discovered her mother in the kitchen.
