"NEW YORK, January 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The New York Times has once again published another 'hit piece' on the institution of marriage, alleging that for 'the first time more American women are living without a husband than with one'. However, US census data for 2005 shows that the January 16th front-page story in the New York Times is just another disturbing showcase of the Times’ tolerance for 'journalistic malpractice'."
There is an expression, which I'm sure you've heard, that says to 'take everything with a grain of salt'. In other words, don't just go believing everything you hear (or read, or see, or whatever). What's sad is not a lot of people do it. "The New York Times is a huge, reputable paper, so it couldn't lie to me, right?"
Recently I've started writing again, and I've just got the first part of my current project, The Wrong Turns, typed-up and online. You can check it out at: http://www.alternative-internet.com/reading/patrickjsimmons/2007/wrongturnsintro.php
I'm also writing a short story about one of my co-workers, Paul. It is barely started, as I'm working to finish the Wrong Turns before I get on it, but it's going to be in the general style of Styrofoam Dreams.
It feels good to be writing again, not that blogging doesn't count, but writing stories is a bit different. Because of school and working a lot, I've been half too busy and half just not interested in writing for a while, but I've got my spark back and am pretty happy about it.
To wrap up this post, I want to recommend a really nifty video over at Weebls Stuff called Patrick Moore. The animation is neat, but where it really shines is the music.
Anyway, I'll be back later this week with more, providing I find something interesting to post about.
