Looking for Elton John Tickets

As I was growing up, my parents listened to a lot of Elton John Music.  I can remember that each time that we heard it on the radio, we would sing aloud at the top of our lungs.  There are sure a lot of good memories attached to Elton John’s music.
We had all his albums […]

Changes to College Application Methods

Back in the olden days when I started college (about twelve years ago) we mailed in our admission essays with our application for enrollment.  In most cases, you had to make sure that you sent it away early, just in case there was a delay in mailing your envelope to the college.
Fast forward ten years.
It […]

Unfounded Claims

I was doing some research into a company that offers gas credit cards. I know of several people who have complained about this company, claiming that they have been ripped off by them time and time again, so I decided to look into it and see if their claims had any truth to them.

Setting Up Office

One of the things I love most about spring is that it is the start of garage sale season. I love to go to garage sales and each year I make a list of specific things that I am going to find. It is always my mission for the summer. This year, the top thing […]

Bryan, I Am Sorry

There was a kid that I went to school with that always smelled like body odor. He as very sweaty all the time and we all made fun of him. Now that I am grown, I feel really bad for the way we treated him. I feel even worse because I now know that it […]

I am a Bad Person

If I had my life to go back and do over again, I would be a better person. I got through college by purchasing custom written essays from friends who were a lot smarter than I was. The thought of this now appalls me and I cringe to think at my own children trying such […]

Good Things Come from A Bad Mark

I still have a copy of the very first essay that I ever wrote in high school. I remember being so proud of it when it was completed. And then I remember being so disappointed at the mark I was given on it. Going back and reading it now, I see so many flaws, but […]

Registering for Golf School

Ever since I was a child I have loved watching golf.  In fact, you may call golf a passion of mine.  Whenever I get a chance, I go to watch the local tournaments, as well as the professional ones on television.
But there is one peculiar thing about me - I have never had the opportunity […]

The Gift of Family

My grandparents are going to be celebrating their sixtieth anniversary in just a few months and I am sure that everyone in the family is trying to rack their brains to decide what to get them. The whole family is sending Grandpa and Grandma on a trip to England, but it seems to be harder […]
