deal
Anyone can be a celebrity now; this is not a big deal anymore.
I choose not to be at the whim of others. I want to be at my own whim.
art
From an art perspective, I don't know how you get better than 'Beetlejuice.' In terms of originality and a look, it's 100% unique.
changed diet easy eat few food great lose love meals throughout trying
I've changed my diet a few times. Now I'm trying to eat more protein. I eat little meals throughout the day. I love food, so I still give myself great meals. Also, when I'm busy, it's easy to lose weight.
grade left lighting plain school
My first day in grade school, I was plain scared. I left the comfort of my run-down house, which I loved, and went to school where it was cold, it smelled, the lighting was bad.

I'm just shocked at how blatantly shallow people are sometimes.
crying household humor thankful themes work
In the household in which I was raised, the themes were pretty simple. 'Work hard. Don't quit. Be appreciative, be thankful, be grateful, be respectful. Also, never whine, never complain. And always, for crying out loud, keep a sense of humor.'
Unpredictability means what it means. I don't know how you define it. It is what it is.
anyone work
I don't think anyone disagrees that male and female brains work differently.
cage certain children efforts great ideas life product saying suspicion
There is a great suspicion of saying that anyone, especially a child, is 'the product of destiny,' or 'formed by fate,' or 'predestined for a certain life.' I am suspicious, too, of efforts to cage children or adults in preconceived ideas of who they are or should be.

When religious believers invoke miracles and acts of creation ex nihilo, that is the end of the search for them, whereas for scientists, the identification of such mysteries is only the beginning. Science picks up where theology leaves off.
