I've learned some of the greatest life lessons from growing up in the skate and punk rock communities.
The Internet and social media can really be life-saving for some kids.
I don't want to suggest that matrimony was necessarily a tragic affair - some of our neighbours' marriages seemed quite functional, if somewhat routine; nevertheless, in the workaday world, it is wedlock that is most likely to offer the occasion for life-threatening disappointment.
Unfortunately, Lifeline, known in some circles as the 'Obamaphone' program, is plagued by waste, fraud, and abuse.
When times get tough, at some point, people instinctively know they need to lighten up in order to get through it.
What really irks me is the snide victimizing suggestion from some that I have tried to be lighthearted and funny... Oh my God - this is so offensive.
For baked goods where lightness is a prized attribute - almost all cakes, some cookies - it's important to start with room-temperature butter.
Some persons are likeable in spite of their unswerving integrity.
The difference between a nation and a nationality is clear, but it is not always observed. Likeness between members is the essence of nationality, but the members of a nation may be very different. A nation may be composed of many nationalities, as some of the most successful nations are.
Everybody can't be Lil Wayne. Some of us have to pick up a book.
One of the things that was confusing about Limp Bizkit to some people is that our tastes were very different.
I wouldn't support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest.
Some have deplored Lincoln's indifference to Christianity. But it was not religion, it was religiosity that put him off.
The story of English spelling is the story of thousands of people - some well-known, most totally unknown - who left a permanent linguistic fingerprint on our orthography.
On 'State of Affairs,' we're going after some names that you wouldn't think would traditionally do TV. A show that shoots in Los Angeles is such a rare bird in hand that I think we're gonna have the pick of the litter.
Unfortunately, little attention was paid to how Arafat ruled. In fact, some saw the harsh and repressive nature of Arafat's regime as actually bolstering the prospects for peace.
I grew up in a family where, through my teenage years, I was expected to go to church on Sunday. It wasn't terribly painful. I thought some of the stories were neat; I liked some of the liturgy and some of the songs.
I mean the whole thing about meditation and yoga is about connecting to the higher part of yourself, and then seeing that every living thing is connected in some way.
We never did these kinds of loans that really started this mess, the subprime loans. We just never got into that business. We were enticed a lot of times to do so by a lot of Wall Street-type players, but I, frankly, never understood some of this stuff.
A general loathing of a gang or sect usually has some sound basis in instinct.
