Download or read book Wedding Toasts I ll Never Give written by Ada Calhoun and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven essays celebrating the beauty of the imperfect marriage. We hear plenty about whether or not to get married, but much less about what it takes to stay married. Clichés around marriage—eternal bliss, domestic harmony, soul mates—leave out the real stuff. After marriage you may still want to sleep with other people. Sometimes your partner will bore the hell out of you. And when stuck paying for your spouse’s mistakes, you might miss being single. In Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, Ada Calhoun presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which “the first twenty years are the hardest.” Calhoun’s funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. Both realistic and openhearted, Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give offers a refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. “What a burden,” Calhoun calls marriage, “and what a gift.”
Download or read book Bi Polar Poetry written by Travis Williams and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Bipolar Poetry : Erasing My Demons is a collection of a struggling young man's thoughts captured in intense rhymes. The words that the author found at both the highest and lowest points of his mental illness truly bring to light the inconsistent, ever changing realities that define the bipolar mind. The writer entangles the feelings of loss, love, faith, anger and doubt together in such a way that leaves you questioning good and evil, and the true clarity of either. Throughout the book the poems and prayers outline the writer's journey into the dark searching for light. Bipolar, or Manic Depressant, young adults are diagnosed more and more in the 21st century, and some extreme accounts of this irrational behavior have even resulted in violent disasters plaguing local and national television. Although the author of this book has never really violently hurt anyone, his rhymes emphasize some of the irrational thoughts that in some less fortunate cases to often result in these sometimes deadly tragedies. The author expressed the reasoning behind this book was to help people better comprehend the inconsistent thought patterns, and inner battles that so many with a mental illness face day in a day out. He also stated that even at his lowest he could never comprehend how some could use mental illness to excuse rape or murder, and he praised God he couldn't.

Book excerpt: Transformation of being begins exactly where one is. This is, for most of us, at home. We are acted upon by objects familiar to us, influenced in unfelt ways, and moved toward a destiny proper to a responsible being. Dwelling is complemented by journeying. To live in a home is to journey on the path that leads through the home to a world beyond. A householder becomes a traveler. A traveler is a seeker after new impressions, fresh impressions of a reality that beckons. Opening to the commonplace--what stands in front of us on the daily round--we are open to the call to respond to our role as mediator between heaven and earth. Everyday Spirits is a book about self-perception.

Download or read book Spectre Deep 6 written by Jennifer Brody and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Bram Stoker Awards Finalist In the vein of Flatliners and Ghost meets The Bourne Identity and La Femme Nikita, a diverse team of black ops “Spectres”—elite soldiers who died in the line of duty only to be reanimated by military scientists and brought back as actual ghosts—carry out illicit missions for the United States government in exchange for day passes to haunt their old lives and fulfill their unfinished business. Spectre Deep 6 is a paranormal sci-fi graphic novel that centers on six reanimated spectres who have the tactical precision and paranormal abilities to carry out the most important and clandestine missions for our government. Missions that are too dangerous, illegal, and secretive to leave any trace—assassinations, regime toppling, technology theft, halting nuclear weapons programs, and more. When the Spectre Team assassinates a target, they literally scare the victim to death, making it look like they had a stroke or heart attack, so the target appears to die from natural causes. Then they ghost from the scene, leaving no trace they were ever there. They’re the perfect weapons. The downside to spectre soldiers? They’re like batteries that need to be recharged, or they’ll disperse and pass on. That’s why they have to stay locked in containment most of the time, a glorified ghost prison located in a secret military bunker under Area 51 and powered by a nuclear reactor (it takes a lot of energy to charge a ghost). Oh, and ghost soldiers can get a bit ... testy. They don’t always get along or follow orders. After all, they didn’t ask to be brought back.
