Finally, the song, “Don’t Laugh At Me”, by Mark Wills, describes the feelings of an outcast. These three examples of the outcast archetype

For others? Well, as Bobby Boucher’s mother in the movie, Waterboy, would say it, “is the Devil.” Whether you’re a fan or not, computers, cell phones, and soon to be driverless cars, are engulfing and controlling the world around us.

Every single thing that had our last name on it in the hospital room was spelled wrong. My first name is emry, because they met this family who had a little girl that spelled it Emory

Has this technology really separated us from prior civilizations? Is our thinking today any different from the thinking of ancient cultures? Although it may not seem to be true, there are actually many similarities between our world and that
