About Me
- Brad
- Former adult teacher who loves island beaches. Happy homebody and family man; once devoted dog owner, now without Tashi, my Tibetan Terrier. I prefer the absurdity of the imagination to the absurdity of imagining nothing.

Commoratio:
Al Gore is just plain wrong. In my view he is horribly mistaken. Whether he knows his error, I have no idea.
Epistrophe:
I swear I will send it to him, wish that God speeds it to him, nobody but him.
Epizeuxis:
The chorus of teenage boys' voices sounds out in the night: "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"
Metanoia:
He was happy—make that ecstatic—with the news of his 43 million dollar lottery win.
Tapinosis:
"Well goddamn it all to hell," the old cowboy said as he looked at his wrecked wagon wheel.
No.3 Anadiplosis:
Earthquake leads to tsunami. Tsunami leads to the radiation spewing. Radiation spewing leads to the whole world suffering.
No.6 Antanaclasis:
If you insult someone, then your soul will be insulted by your evil nature
No.10 Antistrophe:
you can’t put me in that Alzheimer’s trial just because I couldn't remember when we took our honey moon—that’s not fair. It’s normal to forget things at my age. You can never remember where you park the car whenever we go to the movies, and they are not saying you have…, that’s not fair. When you finally retire from the hospital, we have time to be together, you and me, loving and caring each other the way we should have all these years. And now? You drag me here to get into the trial--that’s not fair. Don't look at me like that, like I am damaging the good. I don't want doctor to drill my brain for no reason—that’s not fair. You know what? I will take the test, but I am going to pass. That way, you will see I am fine, healthy. We are going to grow old together just like we always said, WE are going to grow old together.
No.11 Antithesis:
I was strict to my children, not that I love them less, but I love them more.

He thought about her sweetly, but with broken heart.

33. Hysteron-proteron
Unexpected tsunami and earthquake shook them to reality.
39. Pleonasm
We saw it with our own eyes.
2. Anacoluthon:
* Wow! These dishes are so delicious! – I'm on a diet.
* I really have to go—call me a taxi.
PS. I saw a joke.
A.Hey, man! Please call me a taxi.
B.Yes sir. You're a taxi.
(Have fun! ^^)
3. Anadiplosis
Love is vital for life. Love gives us courage. Courage forms power. Power makes us strong. We will be strong to survive.
20. Epanelepsis
Tricks were tricked by tricks.
38. Paronomasia
In Taiwan, many skinny women can't wait to lose more their weight.
38. Sententia
Don't judge a person by his/her appearance.
5. Anastrophe:
Behold the light-show spectacular.
9. Antiphrasis:
It cost him a mere 2.5 million dollars.
16. Asyndeton:
We cannot misplace, we cannot replace, we cannot lose this information.
25. Dehortatio:
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
40. Polyptoton:
We try, because in our trying, our character is tried.
12. Apophasis: “I’m not saying that Joe has feelings for Joy but I heard he is going to ask her to go steady.”
19. Bomphiologia: “I’m guessing you haven’t realized it yet, but you are in the presence of the greatest person that ever lived, if you would be so kind as to acknowledge this fact it would be greatly appreciated.”
27 Diatyposis: “If you accept your limits, you will go beyond them.”
50 Tricolon: “Sometimes you have to hurt in order to grow. Fail in order to know. Lose in order to gain.”
