Crumbs of a Bum's Cake by Kenny Attaway Pdf

Is it beautiful like ... the residue of a bird’s hum? The last pound of the blind man drum. The rum of the scum, Is it the scent of a baker’s thumb? The beautiful of the slum? The gift of the innocence/ confusion in the solution. A something of nothing or the nothing of something. The surrendered of superficial / is the hug from a poem. The kisses of an “I miss you”. The leftover dew from a long exotic night...The last twisting on an erotic knot. Is it the cream that rose to the top/or the sugar rush from the last drop/The simmering of a rainbow’s nose/ snowflakes un-froze? Is it birds freed/ or insanity caged ... The teaspoon of humanity’s first and last flavor /Drowning of a thought/ or the life saver. Now... ask yourself this .... Crumbs of a bum’s cake/Washing your face in midnight’s rage/ waking up with the good in morning caged/Laying down and sharing your heart with if, possible and maybe... Erecting to the world aggression. Is crumbs from wanting the love /but Accepting the Mmmmm’s on the F’s between the liberations of breaths/ Crumbs of a bum cake ... where desires are lit or destiny blown out...Where the softest flowers grew into hard like rocks. To taste the crumb of a bum’s cake / where all senses radiate...Sparked by a revolution / and the most angelic earthquake partake... Accepting the lost in winning/winning to not lose/ still confused by when you win -you still lose.” In short, Crumbs of a Bum’s cake addresses the hardcore battle of drug addictions through six generations.

Crumbs from a Bum by Matthew B Wincowski Pdf

Finding a coherent set of answers to life's age-old questions can be an onerous undertaking. Yet the questions abound in our culture, and a rational collection of answers is seemingly ungraspable. Commoners have been led to believe that beliefs are irreversibly inconsequential. Youngsters are boldly instructed to merely seek success. Teachers unblushingly preach to students that there is no such thing as truth. With uncountable opinions and beliefs put forth, who ought we to trust? Should we give credence to the preachy words of secularists who do not even have the backbone to adhere to a logically consistent worldview? Are we to trust the pop psychologists who unmindfully and unabashedly bypass life's essential questions? Would it be shrewd of us to subscribe to the pluralists who lack the decency to study incommensurable worldviews, yet absurdly accept contrasting worldviews as equally valid? Whom shall we trust? In a culture where common sense has commonly vanished amongst commoners, we would do well to welcome common sense into our lives. Thinking episodically has become the modern routine, and yet, such a routine suffocates us in the ruins of our own lack of thinking, for thinking episodically is really no way of thinking at all. Perhaps, just perhaps, the answers to life's most pressing questions are within our reach, but first we must be willing to embrace common sense.

Food by Robert Palmatier Pdf

Each of the more than seven hundred entries in the dictionary contains a description of the historical background of each of the two types of language, literal and nonliteral, and provides an explanation for the relationship between them. Wherever possible, dates of first record in English are provided, along with the bibliographical sources of these dates; and all of the works that record those terms and expressions are given in coded form as listed in the Key to Works Cited. A Guide to Reading the Entries illustrates the typical form of an entry by analyzing an example from the dictionary that introduces five nonliteral expressions, cites thirteen bibliographical sources, and refers the reader to three other relevant entries by means of cross-references. Following the dictionary proper is a Classification of Terms According to Source, in which nearly three hundred nonliteral terms and expressions are listed under the more than four hundred literal categories from which they derive.

Cassell's Dictionary of Slang by Jonathon Green Pdf

With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible. This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material. The research has thrown up some fascinating results

What in Hell Do You Want? by James Alfred Bradford Pdf

What in Hell Do You Want? is taken from the parable of the rich man and Lazarus with a surprising twist. Hell can be in your mind. Hell can be in your job. Hell can be a living, breathing part of you. Hell can also be stopped. Good habits are learned just like bad habitsthrough practice. It brings awareness of the decisions and choices a person makes and their impact on his life. The power of knowing is what you live by. The rich man lived abundantly, and Lazarus lived in obscurity. Why?
