There are some things MasterCard can buy.This experience was definitely one of them.
just a smidge Happily herbivorous. Certified 100% drama-, bitch- and PMS-free! I'm open to cognitive realignment. I admire stadium streakers' balls. Dave Matthews Band aficionado: a euphoric 2006 saw 9,245 miles by air, land and sea for nine shows. Flips flops are worn and the ocean and palm trees are appreciated daily. Not real big into exclamation marks. I seek out occasions to watch fireworks and eat cotton candy and funnel cake. Top five favorite college classes: rhetorical theory, philosophical thinking, music appreciation, digital rhetoric, and mass communication in society. I see the Creator in nature and the kindness of humanity, not in manmade houses of worship. I'm Googleable. I'll kick your ass in air hockey while you kick mine in pool. I've been to San Francisco and I wear flowers in my hair. My passport is itching for another stamp. Kinda have a thing for acoustic guitar players...
I enjoy incontinence-causing laughter. I'm a blogger, and blog of Satu is on The Million Dollar Homepage . I am a photographer and a writer but not a musician. Sweating is preferred to shivering. My international TV debut in 1983 leaves me with the elusive 14 minutes and 56 seconds of fame. I stop and smell all the flowers, not just the roses. Cake should be eaten before icing is licked. No thwarting is allowed.
what I've learned It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. People who don't mind their own business must have business that isn't worth minding. Responsibility's a big responsibility. There once was a man from Nantucket. Animals can tell you a lot about people. It's not polite to point or stare. All good things must come to an end sometime. You can't judge a book or a person by what you see on the outside. You never miss your water until your well runs dry. Drunk words = sober thoughts. Astronomers are wrong about Pluto being an exoplanet, for it will always be nine planets around the sun... You can take the girl out of New York but you can't take the New York out of the girl.
A closed mouth gathers no foot. Descartes - it's what's for dinner. Never trust someone who says, "Trust me." Dream. Give of your time, money and talents. A bird in each hand is worth four in the bush. Spell check is not to be relied upon. The early bird gets the shady on-campus parking spot. There's a difference between 'ur,' 'your' and 'you're.' Unplug. Love. Laugh. Don't step on other peoples' sandcastles. Soybeans rock! Wear sunscreen. Zen commutes are brought to you in part by non-factory-installed automobile sound systems. Quality restaurant service should be rewarded with at least the industry standard - 20%. Smoking is bad for you, unless it's a quarter past four-ish. Breastfeeding is not a reliable birth control method. The earth is not a garbage can. Eating plants instead of animals is good for physical health and my children's planet. Sometimes, felines, canines and rodents carry out Rodney King's wishes rather nicely. Maintain an awareness of poisonous spiders, sharks, venomous snakes, gators, fahr ants, sand spurs and crunchy bugs. Attempting a Romanian gymnast impersonation in a kitchen isn't a good idea. A day without laughter is like a night without sleep: it sucks. The best advice is, "Go play outside." Wisdom sharing via commenting is welcomed.
Blog of Satu is part of a directed independent study at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The DIS is analyzing examples of the effects of blogs outside cyberspace to show their significance to popular culture and mass society, looking at associations with electronic media and traditional forms of print media. Bloggers are sought for assistance by responding to survey questions concerning personal blogging experiences and/or by contributing links to scholarly articles or examples of varied extra-blogosphere web logs.
Any questions? Just ask the author . All research is being done by Satu Harris at UNCW, and will be completed by 12/1/06. The study is under the guidance of Anthony T. Atkins, Ph.D. , Assistant Professor of UNCW's Professional Writing Program.
