Nina vs The World

This post is going to sound slightly cruel. In fact, it  may make me seem heartless. Well, I'm not. But after having the opportunity to learn more about Hemingway and his life- I've come to the sound conclusion: I don't like the man. Not one bit more than I like wisdom tooth extraction.  Trust me, I know . It's not that I hate Hemingway. Nevermind his lack of imagery, or his constant offenses towards God and religion. I can understand his being fed up with hipocrisy.  Its the hateful bitterness and spine-less attitude that characterized him as a person that makes him irritably intolerable in my eyes. He lived a life of blame, finding the culprit for his own failures in the women he married for money, used and then divorced.  Granted, he was smitten over an older nurse that moved on to fry bigger fish. I get it. Heartbreak hurts. But why don't you grow some character ? Build a bridge, make it golden if you like, and walk over it. You can't continue dwelling in

The future of technology is here. With style, with finesse, and playing Jeopardy. It's WATSON, the new Supercomputer! What's the big buzz about that, you may ask? Well, Watson, if it reaches and surpasses its creators' expectations, will be the machine that revolutionizes life as we live it- in all fields from Game Shows to the Operating Room. ( Watch a Video about Watson ) In fact, it will be a lot like Computer from Hitchhiker's Guide,(see fig. 1A)  the depressive, tv-watching, enormous machine that when asked what the answer was to "Life, the Universe, and Everything" replied the smug.. "42." Fig. 1 A-This Smart computer even had a british accent So, original idea, IBM? I think not. Besides, Computer even has propped up arms that personifies its appearance. However, WATSON is already making news with its fast response to questions to topics as broad as physics, movies, and nobel laureates. So the computer can answer trivia questions in t

Was I sleeping when dating paralleled happiness? Or became the pursuit of an enriched life? I have nothing against true love, for in many cases its like a cancerous tumor. You can't see it growing inside you til you're in the final stages of metastasis. But what I am against, is people making the rest of us single people seem like were deficient, defective, or socially challenged because we're not coupled. I got news for you. This isn't the 19th century, and I'm not Jane Austen. Just because some of us decide we don't want to get tangled up in the messes of love doesn't mean we aren't capable of bliss. Granted, doing your significant other's laundry, slaving in the kitchen and falling asleep to the lulling acoustics of his snoring and farting may be your idea of heaven, but spare me your ideals. It's bad enough growing up and being responsible for your own self to then rush in to more responsibility and babysitting an adult. I have enough sel

Good Monday Afternoon folks! Glad you could tune in. Here we are yet again, and yes, it's time to play "The Self-Righteous Smite!" It's not that I hate Miley Cyrus. After all which little brat these days would turn down fame and fortune for a conformist, Mickey Dees and penny-budgeting life? Not one. And let's not forget, Hannah Bongtana is only 18. It was only expected she'd go buckwild. My issue is, not Disney, not Miley. But parents . Yes, its another parenting spiel. Parents international are outraged at the fact little Angel Miley is ditching the good girl, huckle-chuckle lifestyle, best-buddies-bunny-teeth image for an all-time high, chortling, choking and bucktooth Miley. Well you know what? If you allow your kids to deify a teenage superstar and allow her to assume your role model parenting patterns to follow, it's your own dumb fault . Little tots shouldn't be watching those kind of brain-diluting, vegetable-prone, and non ejucational
