D train, love and me.

by Tessa on Jan 29, 2012

I want to be loved. I have a heart, a pair of hands and a vagina. But zombies... zombies... they are everywhere and they are impenetrable.

I find the rhino more noble than Jerry. There is a perfection in the beast, which the killer hiding behind his gun (and the backup guns all around him) lacks. I believe paying hunters are cowards and thieves. They hide under the strong arms of the professional hunter. They are stealing a false sense of virility, which they wear like the cheapest cologne on the planet. They don the fool's grin, but not in a good way.

Dear 99 Percenters. ~ Traci Wallace

by elephantjournal.com on Oct 24, 2011

I am all about doing what’s right and fighting for causes that I believe in, which brings me to an interesting fact that has always resonated with me. Mother Teresa never attended an anti-war rally, but she would always lend her support to a peace rally. She realized that putting your energy behind something that you are “for” is far better than rallying behind something you are “against.”

Weight Loss, Yoga, Love & the Story of My Life.

by Anna Sheinman on Sep 14, 2011

I was born and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. My parents are lovely folks who never exercise or eat healthy. They love to have fun, go out, eat, dress, drink, dance and indulge in general. Both of them had a really good jobs and a thriving business. We were well off and life was good for a while. Things always change, but this is another story. I came to New York just in time for my 19th birthday for the summer break. I fell in love with NY and never looked back!

It all began innocently enough. A little trip to India and a distaste for group email blasts. Soon I was writing daily. Just as suddenly I stopped, started, stopped, started, stopped and here I am again.
