Who has read Harlequin Romance novels out there? I know I am a man but I was very bored and looking for some quick reads, so I picked up one of these books and started reading. For some reason some of these books made sense in a way if you can get past all the romantic scenes and just focus on the family side of the story. There are a lot of lessons that one can learn from these kinds of novels, believe it or not. There are many authors who write these stories that are quite show and tell for the reader can visualize the story as they read. They are quite escapist literature for those who just want to get away from things for just a little while for they are quick reads.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

When studying the history of rhetoric, many groups were excluded from participating in power and were used, abused, and written off as inferior. Even today African nations have not recovered from being exploited by European powers.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
