In my experience, however, having an exercise partner is not a good idea. I have encountered five types of exercise partners, and I have concluded that it is definitely best to exercise alone. The Drill Sergeant My ex-boyfriend represents the Drill Sergeant. He is one of those people whose motto

like crashing waves. I have spent months listening solely to The Beatles in awe of their virtuosity, hoping it will transfer to me.

It seems everyone has their story about how this band has influenced them, for me it was a few bars into Rock & Roll. I listened as a young girl to Lou Reed's lyrics: "She started shakin' to that fine fine music, You know her life was

A few songs which illustrate the sixties are “The Times They Are a-Changin” by Bob Dylan, “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield, “Heroin” by The Velvet Underground, and “The Pusher” by Steppenwolf.

The bizarre, avant garde music of the Velvet Underground was too much for the family-friendly mainstream of the mid-sixties. While the Beatles were performing two minute pop songs, and the Rolling Stones were covering blues numbers, Lou Reed, the lead singer and primary songwriter of the Velvet Underground, was composing experimental art rock on such topics as heroin, sexual deviancy, cross dressing, and hedonism.

During his long musical career, Weiland gained prominence not only due to his flamboyant behavior on the stage, but also due to being able to develop his vocal range in order to be able to give his songs that extra modicum of power. Weiland's first taste of success came in the early to mid 90s, with the release of Stone Temple Pilots' first two studio efforts, Core and Purple. During this period, Weiland's lower

But I cannot, I am a coward. I am afraid of looking at my son. I know that he is still around, I can feel him following me. I can feel his cold stare lurking behind me, I can feel the guilt he put upon me. Whenever you lose something, a necklace, your keys or whatever. Everyone tells you to look in the last

Waves were crashing on the rocks, and the sun made the ocean glitter as if someone poured a bucket of sparkles into the water. You could hear the distant calls of seagulls every now and then. Obsidian colored cliffs were so high that they looked as if they were going to touch the pale blue sky. I felt something brush up against my ankles as a small tide

Genre 1: Horror Scenario: A girl walks into her room and sees that the window is open. Locked It was a bitter evening. The wind was strong and crisp. Rain was bucketing down and thunder roared. The occasional lighting flashed, brightening up the streets. Ellie Parkinson arrived home to her white picture-perfect cottage that still looked delightful despite the bleak weather. Ellie opened the front gate which immediately
