Life Perspective: Reviews & More

I just finished watching the third season of "Naked And Afraid XL." I respect these people for leaving the comfort, safety and security of home to face unknown hardships in remote and inhospitable places. I wouldn't choose to do it, so my comments should be viewed knowing I realize I could not do what these people have done. In addition, I am aware that most of the action and dialogue takes place off camera. All my impressions are compliments of a cameraman and a film editor and the scenes they chose to share. A lot happens that that I am completely unaware of. With these two disclaimers in mind, let's talk about Mean Girl Cliques on "Naked And Afraid XL." Every girl comes up against them in elementary school. They become a force to be reckoned with in junior high and have usually become more sophisticated and somewhat nicer in high school. Even boys know their wrath, but the cruelties of Mean Girls are normally reserved for other girls. Not so on...

True confession: I once dated a serious gamer. For over a year. He wanted to teach me to game. I wanted to show him the sights. So of course we spent most of our relationship in front of a monitor playing video games, or at least he did. Eventually he and his gaming/computer lifestyle broke my heart. I would go over to his apartment, fix dinner while he played video games, sometimes take his meals to his computer, maybe get to spend an hour with him watching a show, and then would end up watching more shows or playing my own game by myself while he played his game until 3 in the morning. This was not a random occurrence.   In honor of that learning experience, here are my top eight reasons why you should avoid dating a serious gamer: 1. If you date a serious gamer, you are going to get played. 2. For a gamer, it's all about the controller . 3. A gamer is always looking to exploit your weaknesses. 4. A gamer may look like a really nice guy but you never know what...

Katy Hudson, who adopted the stage name Katy Perry, recorded a contemporary Christian album in Nashville before her meteoric rise into pop stardom. Called simply "Katy Hudson," the debut project was a mix of Christian rock and contemporary Christian music and touched on themes of a teenager growing up as well as Hudson's faith in God. But somewhere along the way, Katy lost her faith.  This article looks at Katy's background and her recent revelations on a public therapy session about her upbringing in a Christian home. At points Perry, who says she is trying to find herself as Katherine Hudson again, dissolved into tears as she made revelations about herself and her search for herself. It is interesting to note that the therapist referred to "Katy Perry" as Katherine Hudson's "inner goddess." One has to wonder what kind of people are targeting Perry/Hudson, where they are trying to lead her and what they are trying to turn her into. R...
