Simply Bonnaroo - - This post haved 0 comments

There's a music festival for every taste and every counter culture in America and Europe. Smaller festivals can average 5000 people while larger festivals attract 100000 or more. I've visited a few festivals but none of them compare to the one and only Bonnaroo. This year I volunteered for a few days on the farm and got to experience the magic first hand. This year's headliners were great. LCD...

Political Expression And Evolving As A Planet - - This post haved 0 comments

Our nation has evolved in so many ways over the course of the last few hundred years. In history class we learned vague, pre-approved, lessons about what made our country great. We were told that America was founded for everyone (a great melting pot) and then slavery was legalized and allowed to take place. We are told that we have strong military, capable of defending us from every "insurgent"...

Creating A Raised Garden - - This post haved 0 comments

Raised Garden I've been wanting to try my hand at growing a vegetable garden in a raised bed but didn't have the slightest clue where to start. There are many prefabricated beds and even more tutorials on how to build you own. I got lucky when my dad brought home a large wooden shipping crate that will be sufficient for a few growing seasons. I estimate the dimensions of the crate to be roughly...

Ethical Discipline - - This post haved 0 comments

Spanking our children is a moral decision many parents have to make. Is spanking instilling violence in our little ones or is it a way to teach stern consequence? Corporal punishment has been debated for centuries. Originally the norm and even practiced in schools, it is now seen as a vial, violent punishment. Some people have parents that don't spank yet the children still don't develop any behavior issues. However, the reverse is also true. Really, you could grow up spanked or not spanked and turn out fine or have a mental disorder. What is the...

Hold my hand Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down to the bottom of the river Hold my hand, Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down, a long way down If you get sleep or if you get none The cock’s gonna call in the morning, baby Check the cupboard for your daddy’s gun Red sun rises like an early warning The Lord’s gonna come for your first born son His hair’s on fire and his heart is burning Go...
