Anybody know a site where I can go to view some tattoo galleries. I like tribal and japenese/chinese symbols. More into black than color. Also I love the simplicity of the fine line tatt's. Any suggestions?

Please dont take my idea, i took a long (and i mean long) time to come up with it.

I have an idea to write about a paragraph on each passenger on a plane. A minor example would be:
Passenger 28D. A beautiful vivacious girl. She slowly sipped her Dr.Pepper as she stared lovingly at her boyfriend. Her curly hair bounced gently around he shoulder as she turned to her best friend, Passenger 28C.

I wanted any suggestions on how to make the story more interesting, becasue i really only want to have small stories about each passenger, and not an actual storyline. I'm 14...couldya help me out here? =DD
thanks much

En el cuento “Instrucciones para John Howell”, todo el mundo es raro; nada es normal. Ninguno de los personajes o acciones es lo que se espera. Porque de eso, la historia del cuento tiene que ocurrir en un teatro, que “no es más que un pacto con el absurdo”.
En el público, a nadie le gusta el primer acto de la obra; el personal decide introducir a un miembro del concurso para representar el papel de John Howell, protagonista de la obra teatral. El hombre alto, el hombre vestido de gris y el otro hombre obligan a Rice, un hombre desconocido, a actuar. Pensando que una persona “real” puede representar a John Howell mejor que un actor, los tramoyistas escogen a una persona que no está actor para actuar. Nadie le pregunta a Rice si él quiere participar en la obra; simplemente le explican el trama y lo empujan al escenario. Entre actos, le dan güisqui, cual es curioso porque deben saber que el alcohol le va afectar durante el resto de la drama.
Toda la drama es absurda. En el segundo acto, Eva está hablando sobre nada en particularÑ explica sus preferncias, su dolor de cabeza y otras cosas. Nada de que ella dice se relaciona con la historia excepto la frase “No dejes que me maten”. Es extraño teniendo solamente una frase importante en toda una escena. En el resto de la escena, las acciones de los otros actores no nos revelan nada para explicar el cuchicheo de Eva.
La tercera excena está aún más absurdo que el segundo. Al fin de la escena, Rice es ya medio borracho, y está confundiendo la realidad con la ficción. Trata de salvarle la vida de Eva. Desafortunadamente, esto les pone furioso a los tramoyistas quienes deciden sacar a Rice de la drama. Esta acción es increible –es obvio que el público va a notar que hay un actor nuevo haciendo el papel de John Howell- pero al mismo tiempo apoya la postura presentada anteriormente: el teatro es el lugar perfecto para una historia absurda.
El ambiente de un teatro es completamente absurdo y es por eso que la obra “Instrucciones para John Howell” tiene que presentarse en un teatro. Es el único lugar en donde los individuos pueden decir y hacer cosas anormales y el resto del mundo lo acepta. En un teatro se puede hacer cualquier cosa sin causando un escándalo.

He certainly had been in 1938, when he considered them "Christ-killers" who were in control of FDR and the entire Democratic Party.

But by 1954, he had seen his beloved Nazi regime crushed. He was strongly committed to the Roman Catholic Church, and joined with his friend Cardinal Francis Spellman to propel the US toward war against Vietnam using the voice in the Senate of his son JFK.

Was Joseph Kennedy's earlier hatred of Jews still influencing him in 1954? Did this racist phobia affect his activity in promoting the US aid to the French which developed into the Vietnam War?

I did some research on the internet on her. I believe she is not of Irish or scottish descent. I found no one will give me a definite sure answer of where her origin is from. Is she trying to hide her heritage or something. I know she is part jewish/episcopalian, but what is her nationality? What is it such a big secret? When you search on the internet on her true origin, you get nothing. Very puzzling to me. No where can I find what is her nationality/heritage. I find that very strange. I hope I get lucky with Yahoo! and get a correct answer. Thanks all!
