call chills given hair hang phone realize success superstar
You realize with all the success he's having, he's still the same person. In his phone book, he probably could call any superstar in the world and hang out with him at any given moment. But he still doesn't comb his hair and he still just chills and hangs out.
against central dropped everybody expect friday hopefully kids last nights notch opener playing poorly practice quarter realize second shown since step talented terrible week
If, in fact, Christen is not playing this week, then everybody is going to have to step it up a notch and I know they'll do that. Last week we had a terrible week of practice and I think that was shown on (last Friday against Central Crossing, which hadn't scored since the second quarter of its opener and dropped to 0-4). Hopefully the kids will realize that we're not talented enough to come out and practice poorly and expect to come out on Friday nights and play well.
real order should-have
It seemed to me that I should have a desk, even though I had no real need for a desk. I was afraid that if I had no desk in my room my life would seem too haphazard.
real imagination kind
But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination.
apart born chaos clean computer control countless drifting dying efforts fact falling fashion further imagine infinite life ludicrous matter moon neat orderly perfect perpetual reality research start state striving sweating vacuum
In our ludicrous efforts to 'change' and be perfect, we try to fashion a perfect world for ourselves. We start to imagine that we are actually in control of our world, which is further from reality than an all-parrot moon landing. The universe, our universe, is out of our control. We live on a speck drifting around in an infinite vacuum with countless trillions of other specks. Our world is in a perpetual state of perfect chaos and entropy, with everything falling apart and dying and being born haphazardly. Meanwhile, we try to make life as neat and clean and orderly as a computer research facility, when in fact it is more like a junkyard. It always has been, and it always will be, no matter how much fussing and sweating and striving we do to make it different.

I'm sure this is just the starting point. We want to work from the ground up and get people thinking about crime prevention.

In general, tech companies are focused on betting the company on the next generation. They need every dime they can get.
actively course entity longer meant sale seeking
In December, what (Albertsons) meant when they said they were no longer for sale is that they are no longer actively seeking bids. That of course doesn't mean any entity is prevented from bidding.
class easy great learn needed professors studying understand work
In class work, it is easy to learn only what is needed for a grade. When doing research, I try to understand what I am studying completely. Another great thing about it is that I get to work one on one with professors in my field.

Initially the market was extremely disappointed with the figures, that is they were prepared to see much larger draws (falls), particularly in distillates.

bit coaches good last squad stronger win
I know we can win this meet. The coaches say they have a really good squad this year, a little bit stronger than last year. But I feel like we still have more depth, and we're going to do well at this meet. We're going to win.
adversity awful benefits blast emotion help players press share
I know the benefits of being up in the press box. You see an awful lot more and it's not as chaotic. But the emotion of the game, it's real and you get to look eyeball to eyeball with your players and you get to share the emotion of the game. You get to communicate when there's adversity and you help them through it. I had a blast today.
