  1. the general walks into the room; we stand at attention. Although we are not military. This is a wedding reception and we are drunk. Our inhibitions are down. and yet–We Stand at Attention. He smiles at us and we feel better. Happier. More capable. This is, generally speaking, sad.

  4. holding out for the generality of a simple store.
    smoke stirred soon turns to the dreams that once prevailed.
    as it dissapears into the ocean above it no longer remains in your reality.
    and dreams slowly disappear.
    the placidity still sits there.
    claiming more delusion in each moment.
    but it never stops building castles in the air.
    i long to be the ruler of those castles.
    to skim the air in hopes of catching hapiness.
    the shell pink in my mind steals the simplicity allotted for the day.
    and now im obsolete.

  7. oh in general…
    we want to be accepted,
    we want to be needed,
    we want to be wanted,
    we want some food,
    we want to do it right…the first time,
    we want to be loved
    we want things to be perfect,
    in general…
    life is life and in general we do what we can to make it great.

  9. There was a man whom used to sit around our shop and tell old war stories. He was always hateful about anything he said but most of his stories had some meaning to life in them, even though they were laced in scathing amounts of foul language, slurs and demeaning words. No one liked him very much… we were glad when he died.

  16. everyday nothing stems from the general attitude of conformity. The general goal is not the important one, nor will it advance society. Tied to the bounds of generality we can go nowhere fast. Nor can we do it happily.

  24. The general store is quite a dull place indeed. I don’t know exactly that the general store actually cares generals of any kind now that I think about it…So why isn’t it called something better, like, for instance.. an EVERYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF store.

    ..Maybe cause the name is too long.
    ..Maybe.

  25. that is something that most people think is just what everything is. its general, its normal, its common. general is not unusual or unpredictable. its just what is expected and what everybody thinks will happen. also, in general means that normally or commonly. if something happens in general youre not talking specifics. general does not coorespond to a higher state of htinking and specifis, its just a normal state of thinkign.

  28. The class was general knowledge. This meant that the students knew almost nothing compared to their professor. He was a short squat man, red in the face and with a general air of confusion. The boys spotted this weakness within seconds of walking in the door.

    Betty

    Me
  32. General. I think that is a sad word. So common. Why would anyone generalize about anything? Be specific.

  36. It is a general word today. Trite it may be to write such a editorial but I feel it nessesary to do so. I aim to inform and perhaps one day I can become a military general. That certainly is one meaning, but which one do I use? Is the fact so general that by introducing a possible career as one make it seem redundant? The information given is just to broad…to general…perhaps if more material were given, but alas time will limit general material.

    Eric H.
  37. The General called him into his office. The meeting would not be a good one. Appropriations were missing, troops were starving. This would not be tolerated. It would soon be time to explain. If only he could.

  40. It was not a solid temporal feeling, but it was this sort of, uh, you know? Like a very non-specific, but a kind of thing that you would see and get ready to do, but not really, it wasn’t as structured as that. Maybe I’m just using too many analogies or not really analogies, that’s a little too obvious or, not really as close to saying what I’d like to say about this thing, which is oddly not something really that much said as done or, uh, with.
