So many people reckon they have the ultimate human condition definition but it’s harder to define than you think. For example some blokes try to pick up girls by saying things like “Hey Sally, do you want to come over to my place – I want to tell you all about the human condition?” I’m sure at this point that Sally would be thinking “Human condition ? What on earth is he talking about?” Sally would then probably overlook this conundrum and start to consider his charming good looks and his wavy blond hair and think “Oh well, I don’t really care what he’s talking about. Frankly he can talk about whatever the hell he wants to as long as I get to look into those big brown eyes all day I couldn’t give a stuff if he talks about the human condition definition or the price of mung-beans in Mongolia!!”

Good Vs Evil – the Great Debate
01.15
Good vs evil, these two opposite ends of the spectrum represent a deep and underlying dichotomy that exists throughout all of human life. They give a description for our human nature at it’s very core. The existence of the ‘good vs evil’ duality in our lives is that very aspect that controls everything in our lives, from our conscience to our ego to our ability to love and more. It is the enormous uncertainty, insecurity and anxiousness we each face when we ask ourselves whether we can be good and evil. There is an enormous temptation within human nature to shun everything that is evil and embrace everything that is good. This is the overwhelming feeling that each person reaches in the good vs evil debate. For, how can someone who is evil also be good? It cannot be possible, can it? Consequently, how can someone who is good also be evil, and, is it possible for the good vs evil battle to occur in the one organism? To begin to solve the good vs evil debate there has to be some common ground established. Firstly you cannot have good without evil and you cannot have evil without good – the good vs evil conflict would not exist without each of the opposing sides. This suggests that the two are inexplicably related and interlinked. Despite their obvious large and completely reverse positions these two opposite ends of the spectrum are directly related to each other. This sounds incredulous initially but when you think more and more about human nature and our human condition it becomes apparent that in the good vs evil discussion that the two are not that different after all. Good vs evil follows other similar themes about life as a human namely, good vs bad, left wing politics vs right wing politics, young people vs old people, males vs females, black coloured races vs white coloured races plus many others. These elements also appear very different but somehow are related and even reconcilable. Each position of all these different themes mentioned above, including the theme of good vs evil, are related to their opposite position or are derived by the same situation. If a criminal robs a bank then they would be described as evil but if someone successfully tried to stop them then they would be described as good. It begs the question – is the criminal actually evil and is the saviour actually good? We can see here that in the good vs evil debate whether or not you are good or evil will depend on how you look at the situation but you cannot argue that good and evil don’t go hand in hand because they do!
Good Books for Kids for Christmas
12.08
My friend recently asked her seven-year-old daughter what she wanted for Christmas. To her dismay, the usual list of dolls, teddy bears, princess outfits, and fingernail polish had changed to iPods, cell phones, and computers. “When did she grow up!” exclaimed my friend.
If you are like me, when the kids request electronics, I’m at a loss. I know what those particular items are, but I often hear of others that leave me clueless. How is the older generation supposed to keep up?
I decided to go on strike this year. I’m not buying anything I don’t understand. That’s fine, but it sure shortens my list! I’m going with books. I recently heard about a new series of good books for kids called The Orange Chronicles. Upon checking it out, I believe that is a great gift idea. The first two books, Orange Down Under and Orange in the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes, are available now and there are more books ready to come off the press. That will cover birthdays and Christmases to come as well!
So when the kids outgrow the little kid list, try some new books. Those are a lot easier to figure out!

In this current economy situation, money is hard to come by. Many people struggle to find a job that pays the bills.

The Self Publishing Recruiter
01.17
Once when I was in school, this guy came to talk to use from one of those big self publishing companies. He was doing some recruiting, as were many other companies, and had come to share with us how the publishing industry worked. This was in my journalism class, and it’s no secret that most journalists secretly wish they were best selling authors. Of course, I didn’t know this at the time. The only reason I decided to major in journalism was because there were so many cute girls in the program. But here I am, and that was then. The guy went on to tell us how that in the very near future, the self publishing business was really going to take off. That was about five years ago. Had I bought stock in this guy’s company, I would have been a millionaire by now. Of course, if you live your life by what you could have or should have done, you’ll quickly go crazy. So let’s just leave this at that and be happy with what we’ve got.
