Thank God‚ and a competitive market‚ for e-readers and digital versions from here on in.

My best summation of the moral of the story is “shoot your mouth off‚ and maybe it’ll

from my mother’s grasp‚ I charged. With arms flailing and chubby legs fluttering beneath me‚ I was the ferocious two year old rampaging through Costco on a Saturday morning. My mother’s eyes widened in horror as I jettisoned my churro; the cinnamonsugar rocket gracefully sliced its way through the air while I continued my spree. I sprinted through the aisles‚ looking up in awe at the massive bulk products that towered over me. Overcome with wonder‚ I wanted to touch and taste‚ to stick my head

Sitting in the freezing rain on a December afternoon wondering what I did so wrong to be thrown out of my house. I look into the puddle that was formed due to the accumulation of the rain. As I lean forward to look into it all I see is a reflection of a child that was misunderstood and used his entire life. This child was me. While many children had a childhood filled with laughter and friends; this was not the case with mine. As a child that grew up with no friends; a person would perceive me

they know how much time they have left. They won’t know how many laughs they will have left or how many cries they have left. They don’t know how many hours they have left with family members or friends. Seconds turn into minutes; minutes turn into hours. Hours turn into days and days turn into weeks.
