to be noticed and needed to feel loved; therefore fame and fortune became his drug. Sadly, he became addicted to more than fame. Elvis began using drugs frequently to cope with the pressures of fame, "Sometimes stoned on pills, he stood on the coffee table and preached lengthy, hilarious sermons to the guys-who were not encouraged to laugh [ ] Everyone found Elvis's behavior bizarre. His visions and preachings were no doubt enhanced by the uppers and downers he was taking" (Mason 120). By the late
your daily vocabulary consists of several cuss words or it is just the occasional “shit” in a fit of anger or pain, everyone is guilty of it. Who hasn’t accidentally let a word slip when they slam their finger in a door or stub their toe on the coffee table? Is this impressive, of course not. There used to be a day that when you said “shit” in public, it was like exploding a bomb in public; people would fall silent, staring at you with half-angry open mouths. Mothers would clap their hands over their
The Dentist's Office Dr. Rust's Office, these three words echo throughout my head and I can't breathe. I sit in this awful discomforting place. My body shakes in terror and Suddenly I hear a soft comforting voice say my name, "Genna, Dr. Rust is ready to see you now." On the outside, I am smiling and happy, but on the inside, I scream in terror. Although I had been there and experienced that extreme pain many times before, I dreaded yet another visit to the dentist. Fifteen minutes ago I
my retinas now scratch across in a long diagonal. The same grey, dried-paint-sharp ceiling that they don’t show in the brochures. Always without a light. Sure, one of those fake-Southwestern lamps with a plastic lamp shade sits beside me on the coffee table, but it’ll just fall with everything else once this island of a motel room shrinks down to a pinpoint and these two beds, those dresser drawers, that mirror, Jessie, Bekah, and my own elusive existence tumble into the empty gap. “Are they still
Oprah Winfrey: Inspirational Entertainer When daytime talk show programs first appeared on television in the 1950s, they mostly consisted of celebrities gathered around a coffee table discussing secrets about trivial things, such as how to make the best sponge cake. It is unlikely that these shows promoted positive changes in the lives of their viewers in any substantial way. In the early 1970s, Phil Donahue introduced a new variety of talk show. His show was characterized as "an exercise
interior of the Midnight Rooster. Framed photographs, some color depictions African tribal members and others in black and white of derelict shacks and barns, adorn the gently-hued walls. Overstuffed armchairs and a black leather couch encompass a coffee table laden with New Yorker magazines and a chess board. A tiled walkway funnels into the robustly-antiqued wooden front door. Above, Christmas tree lights coiled around clear, grapefruit-size balls dangle from a rectangular-shaped, burgundy awning

Away from them almost in a corner nearby scanning machine a blonde guy was reading a book. His table was empty: no can’s of coke, no biscuits, and no notes. There was only a red pen in a front of him. Sometimes guy stretched his arm, picked a pen and crossed something in a book. He didn’t pay attention to a humming noise from main table or to
the smell of coffee and burning wood rushes over us. As we entered the living room we traveled back in time, to an old yet still messy Victorian house. In front of the door the floor is tile; four or five of the tiles are broken where my Papa dropped a hammer years ago. As we move deeper into the living room the floor changes to a gray carpet with yellow and brown stains in many different places. The big windows are draped with large lacey curtains and doilies surround the coffee table and all the

Dialogue - Diverted Attention "Her hands are like icicles on the horizon," he said and took a drag of coffee. She nodded blankly at him, barely registering the observations that swayed his tongue and flavored his mouth. "Do you see how she’s shaking?" he asked, not taking his eyes off the porcelain doll ordering dinner across the room. He fumbled down distractedly to the table, found his plate, and devoured a fry in the half-reflective way that dressed all his actions. To this, she murmured
Located east of the small town of Monmouth, Illinois is Cerar’s Barnstormer. Cerar’s is very unassuming from the outside. There are no gleaming neon signs, outdoor smoking areas or music played over speakers like you’d find at, say, Texas Roadhouse. It has a simple, lighted sign displaying the restaurant’s name and a tattered orange windsock reflecting the aviation theme for which it’s named and decorated. Looks, however, can be deceiving; as is the case with Cerar’s Barnstormer. Once inside you’ll
As said by the hysterical comedian David Letterman,” if it were[not] for coffee, [it would be impossible to] have no identifiable personality whatsoever.” Coffee is apart of everyone’s lives because it is a beverage of informal entertainment. People go to coffee shops to study or gossip with friends. All coffee shops target different types of people. It is questionable whether coffee shops are built a certain way.

A cloudy afternoon led me to Sweet Espressions Coffee Shop right off of the square of Downtown Kirksville. The first thing I see are two lonely tables, and two lonely benches outside of the coffee shop. When I open the wooden door I am not flooded with the smell of coffee, as I would typically expect. In front of me was a clear walkway to the counter to order whatever I desired. The menu was full of goodies that any person could come to appreciate. I observed how the young woman interacted with my
