Uniforms

I had an interesting discussion with some friends about making uniforms mandatory in all schools. All but one of us agreed that it would put all the focus on learning versus who looks hip or not. One person disagreed because they thought that uniforms were too expensive and not as durable as jeans. Then, I suppose the $150/pair of Nike's is a bargain, the humiliation and teasing some kids face because they aren't "cool" enough is worth it????

Facade

There is this person I know who is quite neurotic to say the least. They seemed like the most normal of people - yet I always felt there was something missing .. you know what I mean, that little comment, or that little look, or that something you can't quite put your finger on - but you know it's there and it's a taste of what's to come. Don't they say always trust your inner voice ... I really should have, because that "taste of what was to come" came in a big and very unnerving way....it invoked the following questions:

Do we all in some way or another put up facades? Is it possible to be completely authentic??

First Impressions...

I am an ever changing landscape, quite dynamic you'll see. However, there is a fundamental core that is quite intact that you'll soon come to know.....
