    do? Maybe not. Am I going to scare the living shit out of some kids? Yes I am. “Xavier, what if she shows up with Damon, you know how bad this can look.” I hear a teenage girls’ voice say as two kids walked up to the porch. I guess Xavier cant keep his pants on. I started recording everything, how he pushed her up against the wall and started kissing her. I was going to show this to Damon, to show Alexandria how much of a dirt bag he really is.

    psychological and physical problems. Reading this article about the nurse’s experiences in the Vietnam War did change my perspective of nursing. My respect level of past nurses has increase tremendously. The reason why is because they did not have the technology or the education that we have now. How they overcame the many challenges that they had to face, still amaze me. The women that decided to join the military took a major risk with their lives. This shows the strength and the love they…

Although the film begins with an unusual opening of a jolly and flamboyant mortician conducting a procedure on a corpse for a guest lecture, Bernie morphs into a dark irony. As he prepares the dead for burial, he…

    Why didn’t anything happen in you, Wild Awake? I wanted you to be good, but unfortunately, you were not because nothing happened and goddamn, your main character and the prose was cringe-worthy. Yes, that’s right, my dear friends. Nothing really happen.

    hurting just like you and me. I looked out the window with a tilted head as the corner of my lips drooped. I was thinking about her funeral. I told you to just back up and take a different path because there were so many different ways to get to her grave. You didn’t listen though. You honked your horn and told them to move out of our way. When my sister and I both yelled “why would you do that?” I added “they were at a funeral!” You screamed “I’m mourning! I’m the hurt one!” And then you…
