My college of choice? What was your college of choice?



My parents college of choice was BYU, I was scouted by a coach on the

volley ball team but decided not to go.. so? What does that have to do

with weather your parents were successful in helping you reach your

goals...





The word you want is "whether," not "weather." Had you gotten an

education, you might have known the difference between the two words.



My parents steered me towards being able to think for myself and thus

stressed reading, writing, science, music, art, and having fun. My goal

back then was to get a good education, not a job. It wasn't until my

third year of college that I had what might be called a "career" goal of

becoming a professional writer. Funny thing is, the spring of my junior

year, when I was hired by the Kansas City Star to start working that

summer, I was one of three new reporters hired, and there were more than

a thousand applicants from all around the country. I know that, because

the day the managing editor hired me, he took me to the board room and

showed me the enormous stacks of resumes, and said the count was more

than a thousand.



Hell, I never even gave him a resume. I didn't have one back then. He

hired me the night before at a journalism society party at which

everyone got smashed. Wasn't until a year later that I learned he had

"scouted" me at the party at the suggestion of one of my professors, who

was an adviser to the newspaper's editorial board.



So, how did your parents help you reach your goals?





This, coupled with your last essay on 'ESADEA' (Esad's Educational Achievements) should be making

Donnie cream his pants with the joy of being your only buddy here.



....if he believes it.



Happy February

'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument!



You know you live in a Country run by idiots if... You have to have your

parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.


So Johnny...you must be proud that another ex-military man is in the headlines killing 3 people. Not to leave Snottie out, the guy is an ex-cop too.
Like I've said before all the high profile shootings committed by a person over 30 seem to be former military.......and there you are out shopping non stop for a handgun.
Makes me glad I'm a Canadian.

I notice you failed to confirm your belief in the ESADEA essays.

BTW, you should be very happy that you're Canadian and that your sorry asses are protected by the
armed forces of the USA.
