...Home / Miscellaneous / Why I Love Pizza – A Personal Essay About My Favorite Food Why I Love Pizza – A Personal Essay About My Favorite Food Posted by: I Dream Of Pizza in MiscellaneousNovember 21, 2008 Ever since I was a little boy, pizza has always had a special place in my heart. From pizza day in the school cafeteria to pizza parties at sleep away camp, there was nothing more exciting than when that cardboard box was opened to reveal a round pie with eight delicious slices waiting to be devoured. Early on I learned that everybody eats their pizza differently. There are those who fold their slices in half, those who eat their slices with two hands, and those who (dare I say) like to cut their pizza with a fork and knife. Some people soak up the olive oil with a napkin, while others don’t mind a greasy slice. Some people like the crust, while others live for that first bite. Some people decorate their slices with spices, while others like it plain. Nearly any ingredient can be put on pizza. From pepperoni and anchovies to barbecue chicken and pineapple, every pizza pie is like a unique work of art. Every pie is a different shape and size. There are thin crust pies, deep dish pies, and everything in between. There are pies with different cheeses and tomato sauce, or even pies with a completely different base altogether. Growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC there weren’t so many great options for pizza. Ordering in from Domino’s and Pizza Hut was a weekly occurrence...

...žrtvujemo u rasprave, sukobe, svađe u vezi sa tom neobičnom delatnošću? Pretpostavljam da ima više odgovora. Neko se prazni kroz posmatranje igre, izbacuje svoje dnevne frustracije, kod kuće i na poslu ga ne vole i ne poštuju, pa, bar, negde da bude svoj, jak, autoritativan; može da se nadgornjava, svađa i prepisuje po novinama, raspravlja po kafanama, objavljuje svoje misli na blogovima. Neko se kladi, i tako popravlja kućni budžet. Neko beži u snove, kao kad gleda film ili čita knjigu. Evo moj slučaj: ja, recimo, više volim da gledam loš fudbal nego loš film. Loš film nikad ne postaje bolji. A rđava ili osrednja utakmica može se pretvoriti u čudo. Dovoljan je jedan trenutak, nekoliko sekundi, čas, hip. Sednem, na primer, da gledam finale Lige šampiona, igraju Mančester i Čelsi, u Moskvi. Niti posebno volim jedne, niti druge. Ja sam, lično, voleo desnu nogu Dejvida Bekama. I levu nogu Dejvida Bekama, što bi rekao Hju Grant u božićnom remek-delu „Ustvari ljubav“. Ostale sam poštovao, Hjuza, Šeringema, naravno Skolsa, a razume se i Aleksa Fergusona. Poštovanje, to da. Ali, ne više od toga. I, povrh svega, pojavio se Arsenal, do Vengera sasvim nezanimljiv tim, od Vengera - tiha patnja svakoga ko misli da je fudbal umetnička forma. Odmah ću reći, za sve Fergusonove ili Ulijeove i Benitezove titule, Murinjove sisteme, za sve one što me ubeđuju kako „umiranje u lepoti“ nije smisao fudbala. Nego šta je smisao fudbala? Titule? Lova? Moć? Ne, smisao fudbala je u igri, a igra...

...“But never doubt I love” (2.2.119). Hamlet proclaims his feelings for Ophelia, assuring her that he will always love her. Hamlet gives Ophelia the mindstate that she should trust the love she receives. Love heavily impacts and drives Ophelia’s actions throughout the play, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare. Ophelia’s desires push her to be intimate with Hamlet and eventually drive her to madness resulting in her death. Ophelia’s loving and trusting nature compels her to obey her father. She trusts her father’s judgement, but also wants to trust Hamlet’s love for her. Ophelia has very strong feelings and has put a lot of trust in Hamlet so when her father asks “Do you believe his tenders” (1.3.45-112). Ophelia...

...inspiration behind the show of I love Lucy was the real deal. All shows on tv were going away, so people were drawing away from television. Who came up with this idea and why? When it went public, and the star of the show. The character that saved television was created by a female director, which was so important because she open doors for females.

Her and her partner Bob Carroll jr It took the lots of effort and hard work to create this , in concert with their mentor, the producer and head...

...I love getting high. I need to. I do it almost everyday after school, to destress from my curricular activities and forget my problems. It started off slow, a little here a little there. 20 minutes a day turned into 30. 30 into 40, and all of the sudden I’m spending an hour higher than the debt ceiling in 2011. That’s only on the weekdays. If I don’t get high I feel terrible. Some nights, I can’t sleep and I have to escape the house to get wired. My mom tells me it’s getting in the way of school work. She’s probably right to some degree , but I do it anyways. I guess one could say I’m addicted. Indeed, I love to run. A year ago, I was in sad shape. I could barely run a mile without gasping for air. I avoided the mirror regularly,...

...You Like That? For the record, I will be a Knicks fan ‘til the day that I die. I often forget why… It’s possible after last night's comeback win versus Oklahoma City that I am also a bandwagon Warriors fan. Technically, I'm an old bandwagoner; I rooted for the team for one season way back in 1993. [That was because I loved Chris Webber from his days at Michigan, timeout withstanding.] The Warriors have stolen my heart, not because of a baby-faced assassin with an adorable family. Not because of their old-school enforcer, who is willing to hit ‘em where it hurts- literally. And not even because of the ice cold veins of a guy who willingly takes a backseat to his backcourt mate, who also happens to hold the records for most points in a quarter (37) and most 3-pointers made in a postseason game (11)....

...Football Football is one of the coolest sports in my opinion, because i love to hit people and catch the football. I have been playing this sport since i was a little kid and every time i get on that field i always get a rush. I always get pumped up and ready to play one of the greatest sports out there, and I strive to give it my all the whole game. For this sport it takes a lot to compete, in this game you have to be really tough because you will have guys gunning at you all night wanting to take your head off and make sure you don't get back up. Football takes mental fitness to play this game also. If you play on the offencive side of the ball this is tested every game, because you have to know who your blocking and know where the play is going and you have to know what route to run if you are a wide receiver. If you are a wide receiver you have to know the snap count and make sure you don't jump and then you get a 15 yard penalty for jumping and your coaches will not be happy....

...When I first started to play softball I had no idea what I was doing. At first I didn’t really like but I still gave it a try; then I grew to love it. I always loved practicing and learning new things and getting better. When I wouldn’t be practicing I would watch the college softball leagues on television. I would always practice with my dad or my sister and we would have a fun time practicing. I liked being a part of a team and having something fun to focus on. I like softball because it always kept me distracted and gave me something positive to do. It created time for me to spend with my dad and sister. I have some great memories from our times practicing together. I liked it when I would have games because sometimes I would go watch the...

...Sophia Chau-Rubenfeld tells her story of how her mothers ”tough love” parenting methods raised her into a strong and independent girl who can make her own decisions. 18-year-old Chau-Rubenfeld thinks her rearing was good, and decided to write an official essay back to her mother, where she tells about how good it is to be raised by a so called tiger mom. She admits that her mum was very strict but that is only something she is very happy for to this very day. Text 2 "Let them eat pizza: Parenting guru's recipe for bringing up children" by Sdr. Bryan Caplan tells us a whole different point of view on the raising of children. Caplan claims, that children should be able to do whatever they want. He thinks that parents are trying too hard to raise their kids into succesfull adults. Text 3 In the ”Summerhill a radical approach to child rearing" by A.S. Neill is a General Policy Statement taken from the Summerhill School’s website. Neills opinion is like Dr.Bryan Caplans. He thinks that parents are pushing their children too much and have too high exspectations. He also talks about children’s creativity, which is hard to keep up, when all the other subjects at school fill up all the time. 2. How does A.S. Neill engage the reader in text 3? The General Policy statement is taken from the official website of Summerhill School. So it would be obviously a good thing to say positive things about the school: ”I would rather Summerhill produce a happy street sweeper than a neurotic...

...I'm gonna tell you about my favorite sport, baseball. I love this sport because of all the memories I have had with it. I like it because it's so fun and it feels great to hit the ball and score for my team. Also when i'm on the field it is great because if the batter hits it to me it is exciting because I have a chance to get him out at first. I love baseball and one of the main reasons is that it is fun. Me and family have a favorite team and that is the cleveland indians. Me and family love to watch them play. It is also fun to play with your friends at a local field. I personally love doing that because it is a great time passer to. But also if you play for a recreational department or for a school team.

But you can still have fun while playing it....

...couldn't have been going any slower. I had no faith left in the freshman holding the entire season in his hand. One kick; whatever happened in the next few seconds had the potential to end it all. It was the second overtime, and the ball had to make it through the goal posts there was no other option. I could feel my heart pounding in my ear. Although I was standing in a sea of people, it was silent. Everyone that filled the stands was holding their breath, and all any of us could do was stare. There wasn't any specific reason that I loved Wilson football so much. I just loved it. Supporting my friends, cheering in the stands, and celebrating all the victories could make anyone love it. At home everyone knows Wilson football is the best in the area. Nothing made me happier than being able to tell people that I went to Wilson. There was only one other person that felt the same way I did. That person was my best friend Lauren. Our senior year the two of us traveled everywhere with the team going to every game....
