No Game; No Life

Turn that "I" into "we".

No Game; No Life
626 John Doe

This is a public service announcement.

A game is being played; a war is being raged. The first battle is your mind. Be aware and take stride for you may choose not to be mentally engaged but you do not have an option in what moves you make. Pawns on the chess board at the sacrifice of your players decree. Choose to be sedated but do not choose to complain.

A game is being played. A choice must be made. Be a player or be a piece. It does not matter because the bored have already been won. There's no mass to this movement because there's no praise for the wise.

See what I'm saying seems vague so I'll try to be a bit more specific. A wise man knows what it is to be smart. A smart man doesn't know what it is to be wise. From the simple function of human interaction our minds have been seized. We are fighting wars claiming race but there's only one race. The lack or wisdom blinds us to the facts such that words have meaning. Words define our communication. Slang creation deteriorates the ability to understand and comprehend the divide is real and adds to the confusion. The mathematics of the human equation has become sadonic craving our destruction because we do not see "I" is the equivalwnt of "we". When you make that "I" statement it's repeated so many people saying "I".

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

READ THIS OVER AND OVER. DOES THE VOICE IN YOUR MIND CHANGE? I ask because this is an answer to the statement. You see I asked multiple people what do you want from life and this is the answer I received summed up from the equation.

WE WANT TO BE HAPPY.

A game is being played and the fist round is our minds. Identify the wise and learn in kind. For only the wise can free the mind.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
