Traveling With A Star Search
In the realm of love, I've wandered far A traveler without a map, without a star I've searched for answers in the eyes of strangers And found solace in the whispers of the wind My heart beats like a drum in the silence of night A rhythm that echoes through the desolate streets I've walked the paths of sorrow and of joy And found that love is the thread that weaves them all together. Like a river that flows to the sea My soul yearns to merge with the divine To lose myself in the ocean of love

"The Wild That Stayed
Some mornings he came close, almost close enough to touch. Other days he'd disappear for hours, even days, before returning with burrs in his fur or mud on his paws. I never tried to leash him, never built a fence. He was never mine. Mishka was still wild, after all. It was a miracle he stayed.

Middle of Nowhere Dispatch: The 10 Best Backroads Diners in the U.S.
WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE GRIDDLE There’s a certain poetry to the American diner. Maybe it’s the chrome siding catching the first blush of dawn, or the way a neon “Open 24 Hours” sign hums like a lullaby for weary travelers. Maybe it’s the fact that at 2 a.m., when the world feels asleep, there’s a place where someone named Marge will slide you a steaming cup of coffee and call you “hon” without irony.

Lights Out London: A City in Darkness and Reflection
Lights Out London: A City in Darkness and Reflection On the evening of August 4, 2014, at exactly 10 p.m., an extraordinary stillness settled over London. Iconic landmarks—Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge—dimmed their lights. Offices, homes, and public spaces joined in. For one hour, the city known for its bright, ever-glowing skyline plunged into quiet darkness. It was not a power failure or an act of protest. It was an act of remembrance. This was “Lights Out London,” a powerful commemorative event marking the centenary of Britain’s entry into the First World War.

"Finish Your Dinner..."
I don't know why my mother went to Tupperware parties. Maybe it was to win a mini-yellow-burp-able-bowl-on-a-keychain? Maybe it was the satisfying 'schwoomp' of a Jell-o (not a sponsor) mold slooping into place when the specially-made insert was removed? Getting a little time away from the five kids? It's not because we needed the containers. That is why we bought the BIG and mini containers of Imperial margarine. With their reusable storing cavities we didn't need to spend money on pastel Squares and Bowls.

Coca-Cola Addiction
There’s something eerily powerful about Coca-Cola. One sip, and you're hooked. It’s the classic drink of summer barbecues, fast-food meals, late-night cravings, and nostalgic memories. But why is Coca-Cola so addictive? Is it the taste? The fizz? The branding? Or is there something more biochemical at play? Let’s crack open the can and get to the bottom of one of the most persistent obsessions in modern consumer culture

Who Invented Ice Cream?
According to popular legend, ice cream was invented by the ancient Chinese, brought to Italy by Marco Polo, to France by Catherine de Medici, and thence to America by Thomas Jefferson. The truth, however, about summer’s favorite chilled dairy treat is a bit more difficult to pin down.

The Monkey and the Shark. AI-Generated.
Once upon a time, in a warm blue lagoon surrounded by a lush island forest, lived a clever monkey. He spent his days swinging from tree to tree, munching on ripe fruits, and teasing the waves with his reflection. The lagoon, deep and calm, was home to a sly old shark who always lurked beneath the surface, watching the monkey with hungry eyes.

5 Desi Superfoods Your Grandmother Was Right About
In a time when kale, quinoa, and chia seeds dominate health food conversations, we often forget that our grandmothers had already discovered nature’s original superfoods — long before "organic" or "clean eating" became trends. These traditional desi ingredients, deeply rooted in South Asian kitchens, were not only delicious but also packed with medicinal properties.

THE MAN WHO SLICED TIME
I was eating a toasted gluten free, everything bagel that was sliced so nicely. As I was sipping coffee, munching, on my bagel, and reading the news on MSN I saw an article about the inventor of the automated bread slicer in 1928. I researched the article, read more about the invention, and found out Wonder Bread was the first sliced bread loaf sold in 1928. July 7, 1928, was the inventor's birthday and the birthday of Otto's Bread Slicer. Enjoy history with a SyFy, for fun, fictional vs truth story!
