What do you most hate sharing with other people?
The last of some snack.
If it's a meal, then I'm probably full, hence, no prob - take what you want. If it's a big bag of peanut M&Ms, and I'm on my last handful, then, yeah, I'll share, but I'll secretly hate you for it...for a little while at least.
The worst is when (1) I'm enjoying something really tasty, (2) I already know there isn't going to be enough to satisfy me, and I'd be reluctant to share some when it's all there, (3) the person who finally asks for some has been sitting there since I started, (4) and only asks when I'm my last bite or two.
This is a reflection of the fact that most people's biggest fear is that they won't have enough.
I think The Soup is my new favorite show. I love the humor and you get to see the best of all the garbage that is on TV. Amazing. This particular clip deals with the NY Governor scandal and the media's exploitation of it. Bill O'Reilly seems to run an amazingly high number of stories on women all somehow for the greater good, of course, but this is ridiculous and is laid out as plain as day in this clip. Enjoy.
I saw this clip on The Soup first and then I went and watched my American Idol files that I had taped and cut it to make the following clip. It is more entertaining the more you play it. I think it was much more entertaining than the song that he sang. This is Danny Noriega with Some people weren't likin' it!
I finally, finally finished the Brothers Karamazov last month. I’d been reading it for about 10 years! I really liked parts of it and it did keep my interest most of the time. It is such a big book that at some point, within the last, say, eighth of the book I put it down and quit reading it for a long time. When I picked it up again, there was a bit of disorientation, but, due to Dostoyevsky’s writing style, I was able to remember what was going on and proceed with the book without any rereading. He writes about what happened previously and characters’ motivations and thoughts about what’s happened so far (again and again, throughout the book), that when I picked it up, it prodded my memory. It’s funny: I was only about 20 pages from a critical part in the book when I put it down. If I had just plodded through those few pages, I probably would have finished the book so long ago.
Would I recommend it? Sure. I would suggest reading it about 20 pages at a time so you don’t get burnt out. If you’re an avid reader, but don’t pick up classics too often, then I would suggest it being your secondary book while you’re reading a thriller, sci-fi, romance, fantasy, or comic book. Make sure you keep making progress on it so you don’t put it down for 10 years or so. There are some really great passages in it that can really provoked me into thinking about my beliefs and actions and how they interrelate. Worth the time and effort.
Happy 7 Month Anniversary, Natalya! I can't wait till you come back!
