Blogs about: People

In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, a word like “people” conjures up the rich and famous. This actually has deep-rooted sociological underpinnings, so it’s no wonder that blogs about celebs are now some of the most popular in the world. There’s also the provocative group of people known as politicians who receive plenty of attention for even seemingly minor issues. While it’s fun — if not addicting — to read gossip about celebs and politicians, perhaps the most fascinating group of people are those of us who aren’t famous yet still have something to share with the world.

Two Make A Story
Turn 2 Page LIFE

Loneliness always has a silent story behind it. But a story starts to get a voice when that one individual is joined by a second. This voice can be spoken or unspoken, but when two individuals get together, there is always a story between them. This meeting can be planned by man himself, or by fate, but the story that comes out of it is inevitable to the eye of an observer who is on the search for an essay for his art. And as we all know, life and living require interaction. Though we are all born alone and die alone, we all need company to go through the journey of life.

Myanmar: Dhala, Bamboo village
i like to see

This bamboo village, that contains a few hundred tiny bamboo houses is just on the oter side of the river from Yangon in Myanmar. Even though people live in pretty poor conditions there, they smile a lot and warmly welcome all, who wonders around. More photography and multimedia on my website http://www.godoberta.com

Seminary Etiquette #6 – Making Friends
The Seminarian

There’s an unspoken rule I follow when in class. I follow this rule closer than Superman follows his “don’t kill the bad guy” rule. What is this rule? It’s not “Don’t Put Chewed Gum Under the Desk”. I’ve done that three times now. I don’t talk to people in my classes. Not because I don’t like them; I’m sure they’re pretty cool people. But they’re strangers. I don’t know them and they don’t know me. What happens if I start talking to them and they assume I like anime and start going on a one hour tangent about Pokemon? Well, that might be kind of rad. I might finally have someone to trade Pokemon with. But I don’t want to risk it going sour! Unless my clique from my church is in my class, I look at everyone else as a heathen. They didn’t pick my church after-all, which, by the way, is the holiest of all churches. Does your church have…uh…um…I’ll think of something. I’m just sparing the other people from the inevitable guilt trip of not being as holy as me. And not havi

Hello Again
Allyson Pelchat

I haven’t written in a LONG time, which is sad because a lot has happened since I last posted way back in January. I will spare those reading this the gritty details, but I feel as though I have come a long way in my photography. Any other photographer knows the excitement of finding their own style, and I am close to finding mine people, I can feel it. The advanced photography class I took during the last semester really pushed me to branch out in the way I created images. I learned sooooo much about what I like, and discovered new very talented photographers who have given me so much inspiration. The first three images were taken as part of my surrealism portfolio for my class, and the last image is a self portrait I created today, that was inspired by Brooke Shaden’s  beautiful work.

“Change is the only constant in life.”     ―     Heraclitus The past year plus has been a wondrous and explorative journey into Chester County and my new life.  I am finally living the life I wanted all along, but it has not been without adjustments. For example, where many of you have been a parent for years, I have been only doing it a short while by comparison.  It is a wonderful and terrifying journey and I am on the hunt for the Cliff Notes to help me through what doesn’t compute! I have had a lot of change in the past few years, and moving to Chester County and off the Main Line was a big step for me.  Mind you it has truthfully been the best thing I have done for myself and my life save beating breast cancer two years ago. I always wanted to live in Chester County,  and now here I am! But change while an amazing and a necessary part of life, is also scary.  For the first time in like three decades I am completely out of my original comfort zone and am making a new comfort

I made it to day 15 and I’ve decided to call it quits. I can’t keep up and I have lost interest. What was the final straw? Probably the “What’s In Your Fridge” day. That’s just stupid. I was planning on just taking a picture of the contents of my refrigerator, but thought better of it. It’s pretty ridiculous. We have so much crap jammed in there, I’m sure I would have been ridiculed over it. So…I’m waving the white flag of defeat. Just as I expected I would. For those who are disappointed…? Get over it. It was boring anyway. There are only so many lists I can make. Lately, I’ve seen folks doing the wordpress daily prompt. Where in the hell does a chick with a blog go to get in on that action? I mean…sometimes I just need something to get me started… Like, I was reading something the other day that talked about when there is a death of a “friend” you have made through social media. I’ve

Operating the Telephones at Sears, Roebuck, c.1910
Through America Darkly

‘Sears, Roebuck & Co.’ c.1910   Presumbably this was taken inside the company’s headquarters in Chicago. A long-distance operators switchboard was installed there in 1906 and it must’ve seemed like almost futuristic technology at the time. The original buildings are now on the National Register of Historic Places.

MAKEUP BY JAMIE

HELLO!  This is my first real blog and I hope I can reach out to girls all over to show them that makeup isn’t “fake” or meant to “disguise” when used as a confidence enhancer– and correctly of course. Here, I will post makeup tips, inspiration, photos, and videos to show everyone how I complete beautiful looks on naturally beautiful people! 

Don’t we love to talk
Steven Glenn Writing Words

  As people we love to talk, we love to socialise and network. Dale Carnegie had a great quote: - “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” I suppose your wondering where I’m going with all this? Well it’s the “why” we as a species like to talk and network or dare I say it, “Gossip.” Gossip can be a very good vehicle for moving a story on, or for-shadowing a future event. Two characters discussing another character is very helpful when you need an aspect of their personality for-shadowed. So to understand Gossip we need to know why we do it in the first place. We can express ourselves through the arts, I.e., music, religion, writing, politics, and even science. But what do we talk about most of the time? It’s not the above list I’m sure. I have read that two-thirds of all human conversation is gossip. This may come as an unwelcome reminder of our interest in the person

Automatically Connected?
caughtwithinpages

Just the other day I finished reading yet another book at lunch (big surprise, right?)  and somebody came up to me and asked “why do you read so much?” I’m used to this question because I get asked that a lot but now that I think of it, it really is an interesting question. Unlike a movie or a TV show, books require your full attention. You’re giving those words your time and thought in a way you don’t give a television screen. I think that’s why people are so put off when it comes to reading because all they see is this really solitary activity. Here’s the thing though, when I read, I read to connect. Now I know how that sounds but it’s true. When I finish a book, I wonder how many other people have actually read the book I just finished. How many people have read that line that jumped out at me and loved it just as much as I did. How much this book meant to them. There is nothing I love more then when someone saids “oh, I’ve

From a conversation with a beloved…
Self is an event...

People think they are weaker than they are. People resent, revile and repress the innate blessings of being a conscious being and practise a commitment to the ignorance of that radiance. These People have taught this, passed it on as a poisonous denigration of core self-worth, of the worth of community, of the worth of the cosmos.   People are hungry, tried, bleeding on the streets, with sickness in their lungs and hearts, we are broken and our pride is no longer pride – we are arrogant and confused, and lost and trying to tape over the cracks in the Earth…our healers are poisoning, and our poisoners have disappeared. And yet the little ones will be the way. AND… There are also People who are singing the soul pieces back together, co-creating new pathways and bridges of love, calling out the Wild in the sore and broken hearts and letting the rapture of flame and wave devour the senses and release us into liberty once more. There are passionate people, and proud people

Clock in world
The talk of Mr C

BACK, back,back again, six months today, still trapped in this pen. The clock will strike nine, with a  bellowing  chime and the stiffs will form an orderly line. We will march through the gates we will march through the doors they say time is money and it sweats from the pores. Anonymous is our name,  we are vast in number defenceless people replaced for the  slightest blunder. The day will be long,and  the day will grueling, Boss gives  the orders, and we obey  his ruling . Trapped on the bus home horror in the sky, a barrage of people surround, as the eggs begin to fly They will shout scab, “your the scum of the Earth” A life plagued by money ever present since birth.

I stopped blogging for a couple of days. I’m sorry i just hate it! haha. So many things.. gosh.  Lets make this easy, list of surgeries i’ve seen: TOF Kidney Tumor Scoliosis Correction ASD/VSD MLB Plastics Case Orchiopexy Hip Displaysia Fix Other Cardio Fontan ENT surgeries Orthopedic Surgeries and more!!   They let me float from theater to theater every day. When I’m not in there, I am in ICU.    So today I am just going to talk about the people again..my gosh it’s a privilege to work with these people every day. My main boss… i’ve only worked side by side with him twice because he works at three different hospitals. He’s an anesthetic consultant, for peds obviously, but my gosh he is GREAT. He’s so good at what he does and he explains EVERYTHING to me! He makes sure I’m keeping up, asks me questions to keep me on my toes, and quizzes me on things he’s taught me. He is the best teacher I could ask for. He only comes into the
