What does the piece of this book foreshadow? Something good and ambitious. What does this piece present? Illogical slander and abrasive jabs. What would the answer to such a voracious and vicious attack be? I shall call it, "The Fat and Lazy Look", by Mike Shannon. Now normally I would never indulge in such a spirited attack for the sake of justifying my own beliefs, as I have found that it is quite pointless to try and convince a person of something or other that they have already formed an opinion about. You would more likely turn the tide than change a mind on a subject of matter. People in general are as open minded as a moldy tuna sandwich, and perceptive as a piece of balsa wood.

Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Okay, so examine it.

Or do you want to exceed expectations, and live a life so full and rich, that those around you can only surmrise that it was handed to you on a silver platter, simply because they are neither lean, or hungry enough to do the hard work it takes to get there themselves? I do not believe I possess the negative traits described by Suzanne Jordan. I am neither mean nor surly. I despise someone who stands on a soapbox and demeans others by attempting to say their way is best, or spouting off contradictory statements. I am neither dull, nor crunchy, nor boring. If anything, I am the life of the party. I couldn't care less what others think of
