That last time you kissed me my heart slid past your teeth down into the center of your chest… trapping us both in a stainless cage.

The product of paper and printed ink, that we commonly call the book, is one of the great visible mediators between spirit and time, and, reflecting zeitgeist, lasts as long as ore and stone.
So I was determined to use my last two years in college doing something I thought I would enjoy, which was acting. And it was probably because there was girls over in the drama school too, you know?
People need to heed the message of Chris Christie and get the job done. We don't want the last century, America's century, to be a historical accident.
I've spent the last year listening to Americans, and the state of the union that George W. Bush lives in is very different from the state that most hardworking Americans are living in.
