It is often said that the university years will be some of the best years of our lives and that as students, we are tasked not only with learning the lessons of the classroom, but also lessons of life. I share my experience and pass on the torch of enlightenment.

There is a common conversational phenomenon in this world between what I like to categorize as two breeds of people: (1) People who have left the university system and – unless they have become foot-long, knife-wielding psycho-murderer-killers who have a concurrent sexual fixation on microwave ovens – are now working and by all standards considered to be positive, contributing members of society at large; and (2) University students.

More recently my good friend, Lorelle VanFossen, announced herself as the fairy blogmother and gave a groovy presentation at WordCamp Portland. Her garb? A hilarious fairy ensemble complete with pajama bottoms and her weapon of choice? A touching story of how WordPress changed the life of Glenda Watson Hyatt.

Visit Lorelle and Glenda today and don’t forget to check it out! (Or else.)
It is said that myths are mankind’s way of explaining what they cannot logically explain and so are made palatable to the common man by way of divine providence. For this very reason, the Gods do not have to explain how or why something occurs. To them it just does and requires no explanation, only acceptance.
