I don’t know if there’s a finite number of ways this is just plain wrong:
Two prayer services were held at St. Louis gas stations to thank God for lower fuel prices and to ask that they continue to drop.
Participants of the Pray at the Pump movement said they planned to buy gas, pray and then [...]

“People just love to bash LA. People say it’s so pretentious, so arrogant, so this and that. But it’s truly a wonderful place. You don’t have to go to the places where that stuff goes on. You don’t have to go to Beverly Hills, you don’t have to go to the parties. You can live [...]
It was until about a year ago when it was hard to feel; I just didn’t know it.
In Myers-Briggs personality world, you’re either: A thinker, a feeler, or evenly split between the two. I’m officially classified as a thinker, but what the 4-letter diagnosis doesn’t touch is why and how I got to be one, nor because of [...]
My first years in Los Angeles, I admit I was a bit dismayed that it didn’t reflect the picture of the city I had in mind. I had expected L.A. to exemplify the epitome of what this country was supposedly founded upon. What that would be, of course, is a haven for immigrants insomuch as [...]

I got a new roommate recently. I can really appreciate her because not even two [...]
A past Question of the Day asks, “Are you a leader or a follower?” I guess the question intrigued me because as with so many, there are never any clean cut answers to this – just as asking this question in different scenarios will never yield the same answer. At the same time, let’s face [...]
A good guy friend of mine had a dating dilemma recently. The girl, who he took out for the first time, and he meshed pretty well. Cuddling, hand-holding, good conversation, good vibes – all pretty good indicators of a successful date.
So, an obligatory I’m-not-stalking-you-but-can’t-quite-stop-thinking-about-you couple days later, he saw about a second date by giving [...]
…or don’t do it at all. Actually, yeah. Don’t do it at all. Because some things just shouldn’t be done – period.
And you know, with the advent of my admission to 9rules, it’s that time when I relate Louis Vuitton-branded SUVs to blogging. So yes, I’m going there.
You can learn a lot from Louis Vuitton SUVs.

“When all else fails, go into victim mode.”
It all seems so counterintuitive to me. Because “victim” entails helplessness and disassociation from responsibility. If there is any conviction at all, it’s that you can do nothing. Things always happen to you, never because of what you do.
And somehow, things are supposed to magically turn up for [...]
“What’s your nationality?”
I cringe whenever I hear this question. Okay, perhaps almost everytime I hear this question, particularly in the settings that I’ve been accustomed to. When things are so potentially heated in this melting pot of a country (maybe just city), I do not understand how definitions of ethnicity and nationality are used so [...]
