I wonder what was going through the mind of the Iraqi who threw the shoe at Bush?! Venting out his frustration in lieu of the many who are silent in the face of what’s happening in their nation, I pressumed. I can only venture a guess for he certainly isn’t standing by his point by putting forward an apology. Albeit…
Unblocked , somewhat …
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I wonder why that is. Not from lack of desire. But there’s just too much going in rather than coming out. I sat many days open to my screen looking at it blankly hoping One thing pops up. I calculated the other day and I’ve read an almost a 100 books…
Second Chances : Stand 4 Urself !?
I thought to put in a few more words elaborating my thoughts about second chances … Giving second chances itself is very tricky for most of us confuse second chances and end up getting taken for granted, which is dangerous.
