A cheetah can carry three times its body weight up a tree.

Whether or not this letter sweeps you off your feet in a blustery wind of emotions and romantic euphemisms, at least you will have learned something.

One absolutely breath-takingly beautiful wife? Check

One somewhat studly, perfectly average penis toting husband? Check

One perfectly blissful and happy year of marriage? Eh close enough

A year has passed since you led me sneakily down a municipal court aisle to say two simple words that would forever bind us in holy matrimony… just so we’re clear; I’m talking about us getting married that day in Lewiston exactly one year ago. I know that sometimes I can be a bit mysterious! One of my many attractive traits that I utilized to woo you into falling head over heels for me.

A year has passed since a delicious frozen treat from a Dairy Queen danced its way across our taste buds, pausing here and there to leave a lingering taste of total awesome before making its second to last stop in our tummies.

A year has passed since my love for you became a legal requirement… which is, of course, completely unnecessary. My love for you will always be, whether I’m bound by a legal contract or not!

I guess what I’m really trying to get across is… WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which calls for all an all caps mass exclamation point kind of celebration!

We made it sweetie, one year. You know they say the first is the hardest, the second is the longest, and the third… well we’ll just deal with the third when it gets here!

This past year has been the most stressful, emotional, frustrating, annoying, crazy year of my entire life. That being said, I couldn’t be happier that from the first day, through to the three hundred and sixty-fifth, you were there by my side. Yes we had our low points, (random fights, a month of sleeping on the couch, and how could we forget our close call almost divorce?) we were dealt quite a few unexpected blows, (my broken penis, a horrendously negative pair of bank accounts, my rather harsh and unhappy mother) but after all that and everything else we’ve gone through we’re still here and in love. A feat that I truly believe only you and I could have been able to accomplish and I can’t tell you sweetie how proud I am of us, and how much I love you, for sticking together through some really unhappy times.

Okay, so I’ve had something on my mind for the past year that I’ve really wanted to tell you. Are you ready? You better be cause here it comes!

I LOVE YOU AMANDA! I am so completely, entirely in love with you hun, that Shakespeare wishes he could write a sonnet about us. A sonnet filled with loving words, iambic pentameter, and probably one or two doth thou’s thrown in for good measure.

I believe it was Jennifer Hudson who once said, “How come love always has to be a battlefield? Battlefield? Battlefield? How come love always has to be a battlefield?” Now apart from being extremely redundant, this is also an over generalization/ over exaggeration. Love isn’t always a battlefield…battlefield…battlefield… sorry got sucked into her trap. Love is a walk up and down the streets of the city you call home with the person you call your second half. Love is a day trip to the coast, even if the weatherman says it’s going to be cold, rainy, and potentially miserable; only to find out that there is only a slight breeze, and the sun is putting up one hell of a fight with those rain clouds. Love is a drug, and I have a confession to make, I’m an addict. If I don’t get my daily fix, I’ll give Jerrod’s crack dance a run for its money. Love is like a massive overload of all of our emotions, and the only way to release all of those emotions is by kissing your soft, oh so sweet lips… or a good old fashion mattress mambo session. Love isn’t cleaning the house, doing the dishes, or attempting to keep the colossal laundry pile at bay; love is doing those things, and all other favors and chores because the person you’re doing them for appreciates it. Love is the feeling that fills my metaphorical heart when you curl up next to me as we’re falling asleep. Love is the breath that you have literally taken away from me on more than one occasion for simply being absolutely beautiful.

In a world that is forever changing from day to day, I’m glad I have one aspect of my life that will never change, my love for you.

Happy one year anniversary shnookems,

See you in 365 for round two!

As always; love to the 8 turned sideways, shmagoogan, oodles and bunches,

Me

I'm 19, Married, and I scored a 90 on my Asvap test, so i can basically get into any military career.

there is one more brewskie in the fridge and it's leftover from a recent party. do i have the okay to drink it before anyone else makes it home or is that breaking some unknown beer law?

I think that the artistic depictions of Jesus make him look absolutely gorgeous, am I going to be sent to the firey pits of hell for having such unchristian thoughts frolick through my mind?

I have a 679 right now but I really want to crest that blessed 720 marker. right now what i've been doing is using my credit card to pay my monthly bills, but then i turn around and pay off the credit card within the next few days. is this going to help me raise my score? and are there any other ways for me to bump it up to that next tier?

I was thinking about taking out small 500 to 1000 dollar loans from the two banks that I use, and after recieving them, pay them back in full using the money I got from the loans. would this boost my credit?

I want to sell my car, but i still owe on my loan. If i did a trade in would they then take over the loan or would i still be paying on it?

I'm looking for a subject to write a research paper on

I know this isn't a question, but i just want it to be known!!!! I'm in love with the greatest girl ever! YAY!

im wanting either a studio or a one bedroom apartment between 300-600 dollars a month. it has to be in lewiston or clarkston. if you know of any websites that might be able to help me with my search i would be greatly appreciative :D

me and this girl, we'll call her "Jane", dated for over a year when i was in high school. i graduated and went off to college, and decided that i wanted the freedom to see other people. so i broke it off with her. she was tremendously upset, but after a couple of months she was starting to get over it. whenever i would go home i'd visit her (not sexually) because i still wanted to remain friends, and every time i'd visit her i found myself wanting to still be with her. so finally i told her how i felt, and she was able to forgive me for hurting her, and we got back together. At first i couldn't have been happier, we we're only a couple of hours away from each other, so i was able to go home and see her at least once a month. but then i got a call from the one girl i've always wanted to be with but never could because either she was in a relationship or i was. she told me she was sick of living where she was and just needed to pack up and leave, but she didnt know where she would go. i told her she was always welcome at my place and that i would be more than happy for her to come down here. to my utmost suprise she said yes! now we're making the plans to get her down here so she can start looking for a job and i'm totally excited! But i can't be with her if i'm with "Jane", and i just got "Jane" to trust me again, and now im going to crush her by getting together with the other girl....

I just feel sort of like an A_s-s hole, i know i want to be with Amanda, the other girl, because i've wanted to be with her since i was in seventh grade (side note she's wanted to be with me since then too), i just don't want to hurt "Jane" again because i know she truly, unconditionally, irrevocabely loves me... help

the paper has to pose a problem and then give a few possible solutions. the solutions can't be over the top and outlandish. I am completely lost and cannot think of anything to write about!! HELP PLEASE

Ok so here's the deal. this summer i'm planning on taking a tent, some clothes and shoes, and some money and driving down to california where i will camp for the entire summer. i've never been to cali, i've never done anything like this at all. i'll only be 18 when i do it, but i'll turn 19 over the summer. i know i need to start saving now to be able to afford food, gas, and entertainment but i don't know what a realistic amount would be. i don't want to starve while i'm down there you know :D i will probably have to get a job, but it would be really cool if i could simply chill for three months. i might be going with friends, i might be going by myself, but i'm going for sure. so basically what i'm looking for is a realistic cost for something like this and maybe some good places to camp out.

oh and if anyone has suggestions for something to bring along that i haven't listed feel free to put it down :)

thanks for the input

Nick

I’ve committed murder. I’ve robbed a bank. I’ve been in numerous high speed chases. I’ve run over countless pedestrians with a vast array of vehicles. I’ve even smoked in a non-smoking area. I am the epitome of all that is immoral. I play videogames.

Every form of entertainment must go through a period in which it is frowned upon. The dislike usually comes from the elder generation that did not have it during their childhood and the dislike is usual based on over-the-top irrational claims. Think about it: Elvis was too much of a sex icon, movies were just too graphic, and rap corrupted the young, innocent minds of your parent’s children. Even books that are “just too much” get discriminated against, you ever hear of Fahrenheit 451? With the start of the new millennium the crown of discrimination was placed upon the head of videogames.

Let’s talk about Pong. The prehistoric era of videogames had but one species, Pong. Pong consisted of two white rectangles on a black screen that could move up and down to prevent a small white square from going passed them. It was very much like table tennis, but without the tight shorts and extremely good Chinese team. Pong was invented by William Higginbotham in 1958, most truly passionate gamers would consider this man a god amongst men… or extremely awesome. What most people don’t know is Mr. Higginbotham was also one of the scientists on the Manhattan Project. That’s right, he helped create a weapon of mass destruction. With such a violent project already in his repertoire, it’s obvious that he designed Pong to take the happy, law abiding mind of a teenager, and warp it into a violent, murderous, killing machine. With the creation of Pong, a gateway to Hell had been opened.

If Pong was the primitive, prehistoric caveman, Mario was the Cro-Magnum man. Superior graphics, immense detail, and a story that gripped the player like heroin gripped an 80’s rock god. But Mario wasn’t just about saving princesses and defeating evil dragon/turtle things; he had some subliminal secrets discretely placed into his lifestyle. He was addicted to mushrooms! Everybody remembers getting those delicious, green mushrooms that always gave you life. This was of course implemented by the videogame designer to get America’s youth hooked on acid. And what about his need to stomp on poor, defenseless turtles, then proceed to kick them off of floating brick paths? An obvious ploy to turn the players into environmentally unfriendly individuals. Mario was a large step in the videogame industry’s ongoing attempt to sabotage the honest, good natured minds and spirits of their users.

Up to this point videogames had only been used to incorporate a positive look at drug use and environmental injustice, with the invention of the first person shooter videogames launched a full scale war on the human subconscious. First Person Shooter, or FPS, take up a hefty chunk of the videogame genre pie. An FPS puts the player in the shoes of the game’s protagonist in a literal sense. The player only sees the gun being held by the character, so it feels like they are actually the one causing all the mayhem going on around them. This genre was developed for one obvious reason: desensitize people to killing. The videogame industry wanted people to become these mindless, soulless killing machines who would feel no remorse after killing another human being. Why would the videogame industry want this? They want their players to eventually become a controllable army that they will then be able to strategically use to take over the world. It’s that simple. Violent videogames are being developed by companies in hopes that they will one day enable them to take over the world via mindless, desensitized force.

In all honesty people, videogames are a form of entertainment. That’s it! To say that a violent videogame causes an increase in violence in the person playing it is absolutely ridiculous. Does playing SimCity cause an increase in the need to architectural design massive cities? No. Does playing Civilization cause an increase in the desire to build up a strong colony in the land of your choice? No. Videogames are simply a way to experience virtual situations that most people will never experience in real life.

When someone reads a Stephen King book, or any other horror genre author’s works, they do so to experience the feeling of fear and excitement that the book contains. When someone plays a violent survival/horror videogame, those same elements of fear and excitement are being experienced, but on a much more personal level because the player is actually in the story that’s taking place.

this is an argumentative essay for my english class, it's nowhere near finished, but do you think it's decent?

feel free to say why as well :)

As of now mine are The Matrix (first one only) and The Godfather Trilogy (it's technically one movie)

any song that you've ever liked alot, still like alot, or think others would like alot. I basically like everything, so i'll take everything. old or new, it doesn't really matter.

so i'm living in a new town, cause i moved here for college. i know my roommate (sort of) and i've met a few people from school. for the first few weeks i was here i didn't really do anything, unless my roommate invited me.

a couple of days ago i met this girl and ended up spending the day with her. we had lunch, she showed me a couple of cool places around town, and we went to this little dock on the river, where we just sat and talked for awhile. later that night i went over to her house to watch a movie. we ended up making out on her couch, and it got pretty late so i asked if i could just stay the night. she said that was fine, and so we went to bed (no sex yet). we both woke up around three in the morning and basically had to have sex. we did, and then just cuddled till we both fell asleep again. the next day i had to leave early for class, but went back to her place afterwards and we just hung out till we both had to go to class again. we've kinda hung out every day since, never for very long though, when we're together she acts very loving (kisses, laying her head on my shoulder, hugs, etc.) but when we're not together and we talk on the phone or through texts, she acts like were just friends.

today she called and asked if she could come see me for just a couple minutes before she had to leave for a day trip, and when she got to my place she came in, said hi, gave me a kiss, and then said she had to go. she seemed happy to see me.

i guess what my question is, do you think we might become something more than what we are? i really like her, she's funny, gorgeous, great in bed. she just confuses me by being so loving when she's with me, but so casual when she's away. anyways any input, help, advice, what have you, would be greatly appreciated.

is there a way to do it without getting the red bumps?

i've been dating this girl for a little over a year. i'm off at college now, and she's still at home, which is about 4 hours away. we talk atleast once a day, usually more though. lately though, when she says she loves me, i find myself saying it back because i know its what she wants to hear, not because i really do. i guess what i'm saying is i no longer love her, but i'm... afraid to break it off with her because i dont want to break her heart... how can i end it in a way thats going to hurt her as little as possible?

just in the two papers and yahoo my horoscope has been three different kinds of absolutely not the same. why do people believe in them?
