My husband is an extremely talented artist. He is going to a university right now to be an art teacher. Aside from teaching, what can he do on the side to make money from his spectacular paintings? We don't know where to start.

The Liar:

I am a liar. This, in itself, is such a simple parse, but to finally say it, to have it out there for all the word to know, to hear, mean’s that it’s now been liberated from myself and that I may be seen as…just me. Now I may be able to just be myself an s, I guess, I’ll see who stays by my side through it all and who runs away and heads for the hills, so to speak.
Actually I haven’t even been honest with myself for so long that now…I don’t even know who I am anymore. I have become such a good liar that I have not only fooled everyone around me, I’ve also fooled myself. The people who I love, or say I love, I feel they truly love me back…but I’m not really sure if it’s me they love, or just the web of lies I’ve spun. Neither friends nor family are truly safe from my venom.
I have built up this life, this lie, I have so carefully and precisely. I have strung every lie through the rest so that I am completely covered. That I thought I would never be able to fall from my insidious pedestal. I thought that no one would be able see through it all to see the real person I actually am, and so far…no one has.
However, in truly believing this I, again, lied to myself. I truth, if one single story of mine falls through, then I too shall come down with it. I will be within the rubble, undistinguishable from the rest of my lies. My stories.
But now I have a true reason to want to come clean. To admit and accept all of my faults…and my good traits as well. (Even though, these “good traits” I’ve never seen myself…) What could this “great reason” be that would make me give up this entire life that I have so carefully pieced together and made myself be? What could it be that would make me willingly let it all shatter around my feet? What could possibly make me want to stand here, just as I am and let the world see me totally nude of all my lies, just I am.
Actually “who?” would be a better question in this case. So who is it, you may be asking…
Well this person I has been there for me for me my whole life. Through everything, from the highest highs to the lowest lows, they’ve seen me through. So, now, the only right thing I can do is to finally tell the truth, the whole truth, the real truth to this person. And pray that in the end they can still see me and love me the same way they always have.
I’m sure that you’re still probably wondering who this great person is. Who on earth could be this special? And by now you’re assuming that it’s the “next great love” in my life. And, in a way, you’re right…but in the way that it really counts, you’re oh so wrong. Actually this person is none other then…me.
But, in the end, isn’t honesty to yourself what really counts? Then again, I could be totally wrong in thinking and believing this.
Who knows really? I mean, this whole letter could just be a show, a scam. Maybe I’m lying now…we all know that I could be. I guess ya never really know, huh…?

Do you think that Socrates made the right decision to stay in Athens and obey the law? This meant that he would be sentenced to death for not giving up Philosophy.
But why stay?
Do you think he was right?
Could he of moved elsewhere and continued to pratice?.... but he didn't want to.
He could've obeyed the law and stayed alive... but that was hipocritical.
What do you think he should've done different?
Or do you agree with his choice?

I've been with my boyfriend for 1.5 years. I feel like we DID have alot of potential and love for one another. We also both were mature and had a good head on our shoulders. Well, his ex-g/f tried to break us up, and it's ruined our relationship, I've let my insecurities ruin our relationship. I made too big a deal out of it. Now trust isn't there, we're both more paranoid, even though we're entirely open with each other. The big one is, respect is gone. We used to highly respect each other, and now the things we say to each other now I could've never imagined EVER wanting to say that to each other. I used to feel like he was head over heels for me, but now it's so different. We used to have ALOT of fun together and brought out the best in one another, and now I feel like we just argue alot more, and don't really do anything. All we do is sit around and watch TV. I felt that our relationship had so much potential, but jealousy & immaturity has gotten the best of it. How do I fix it?

Additional Details

I know we still do have love for each other, but we've both become selfish and mean to each other. And I KNOW it's because I let jealousy into the relationship, it used to be an amazing relationship, but now we're very disrespectful towards each other. The ex g/f thing happened a year ago and I still get mad about it. How do I get our old relationship back, or is it doomed now? I KNOW we had alot of potential, but I think we're both turning into really selfish/bitter people because of our relationship.

What are some analogies for love and life?
I have some like:
1.Life is like an onion. You peel off layer after layer and sometimes you weep.
2.Life is like a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
3.Life is like a novel. You are the author and everyday is a new page.
4.Life is like photography. We develop from negatives.

Can someone help me find some more?

The first scene describes the main character staring otu the prison bus window and seeing the prison ahead. Should I just blatantly start describing the prison or put it into small clumps?
Hopefully you understand. Thanks

My last name is Soderburg (obviously german), and my dad told me that it means "Castle Soder." Does that mean that if I went to Germany I would be able to find a castle or family with the name "Soder"? That was a stab in the dark.

Is it because they say 24 is just about too old to become a model, actress, singer, etc.? & I'm 24 & have none of these talents but would like to learn how to sing & get a record deal, lose weight so I can become a model, go to acting school, & many people say I'm too old & record companies will laugh in my face.
