His Name Is Khan And He Is An Extremist

Saturday, March 15, 2014

Oh yes, his name is Khan and he is a very dangerous person. He is hell bent on spreading a virus that infects human brains. He has been working insidiously.

When Juliet Fought With Romeo

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

Although they were named Romeo and Juliet, they were far from being the archetypal young lovers of the eponymous Shakespearian tragedy. Of course they were young and looked forward to having casual sex, but they held opposite views on the philosophy of "What's in a name?"

I agree that my problems are nothing of the kind that kill people. That's why after each setback, I close my eyes and derive strength from these ordinary words put together into an inspirational quote by Nietzsche, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

I will not bother you with all my troubles, even though I know you are gleefully looking forward to hear all of them to glean some satisfaction from the knowledge that someone has more serious, severe, dire life problems than the ones that you are having. There is no need to feel embarrassed. Schadenfreude is a universal emotion, besides it is a good word to teach your kids if they aspire to take part in spelling competitions.
