The Stranger Angle: A Morbid Thought
http://thestrangerangle.blogspot.com/2010/04/morbid-thought.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. As I was driving home through a small community of houses, I spotted an old woman walking toward her mailbox. She was moving very slowly, her body dripping with wrinkles and her head wrapped in a rag. Watching her move down her driveway so vulnerably, I couldn't help but feel sympathy toward her because I figured she is in the final years of her life. Then, as I thought more, who is to say that she won't live more years than I will? An article from dealing with fear.org. Addition...

Friday, April 23, 2010. I recently attended the Women's Studies Research Symposium on campus and listened to a very interesting speaker from The Ohio State University, Linda Mizejewski. She is a professor of women's studies herself and has written books on how women are treated in pop culture. The purpose of her speech at the symposium was to give the audience a preview of her new book entitled "Women on Top," which discusses women's place in the comedy world. Wednesday, April 21, 2010.

The Stranger Angle: The Wrong Way
http://thestrangerangle.blogspot.com/2010/04/wrong-way.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. It seems like a lot of people are afraid of being wrong, like as soon as they say something incorrect it’s going to be stamped to their foreheads and the whole world is going to judge them. Being wrong shouldn’t be, well, wrong. It’s just a part of life like everything else. An article from chally.com. In my own opinion, being wrong can make a person feel inadequate, but copping out and not accepting the failure is cowardly. A person who is truly confident with his or herse...

Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Flower Power, In a Non-Hippy Way. Spring is finally here. The snow has melted, the grass is beginning to turn green again and even the buildings inside are starting to sprout plants. And I’m not the only one who recognizes the, excuse the ‘60s terminology, “flower power”. A study at Rutgers. The State University of New Jersey, showed that nature can improve emotional health. The studies there showed three findings:. Saturday, March 27, 2010. While the recently signed bill will br...

The Stranger Angle: Thank You For Being A Friend
http://thestrangerangle.blogspot.com/2010/04/thank-you-for-being-friend.html
Saturday, April 17, 2010. Thank You For Being A Friend. I was sitting in the park on a gorgeous spring day when I saw a group of old women talking and laughing at a picnic table by an old oak tree. They were all wearing red hats, so I assumed they were probably members of the “ Red Hat Society. There is much more good in having friends at an elderly age than just the conversation. A new study suggests that older people who spend less time engaged in social activities tend to decline faster in motor funct...

The Stranger Angle: Eye Can't Look
http://thestrangerangle.blogspot.com/2010/04/eye-cant-look.html
Thursday, April 1, 2010. As I was walking down a long hallway to class, I recognized a girl on the other end coming towards me who was also going to the same classroom. I saw her, she saw me, we both made eye contact then quickly darted our heads to the side like we didn’t see each other. Afterwards, I thought to myself, why did I just do that? That explained how many different cultures actually treat eye contact in different ways. Western Europe- Eye contact is similar to that of the United States. ...
