Notes for Epified Mahabharata Part C

Ep 18 - Karna lived a humble life with his parents. He believed that he was destined for great things. He wore enchanted armor. One day he asked his mother about his gifts and his desire to fight. His mother told him about how his father had found him floating in the river in a basket. His armor and earrings had grown with him. Karna sought out Drona to learn the ways of war. Drona turned him down because he only taught Kshatriyas. Karna decided not to tell him that he was in fact one because he felt it would be disrespectful to his parents. Karna returned home but did not tell his family what had happened. Karna then found a guru.

Ep 19 - Karna begged Vishnu to teach him, all Vishnu asked was if he was a Kshatriya. Karna tells Parshuram that he is not a Kshatriya, but rather a Brahmin. He did this because long ago, Vishnu had wiped the earth of Kshatriyas. Karna learned all of the ways of war from him.

When Parshuram was napping on Karna's leg, a scorpion came up and stung Karna. Karna chose to suffer the pain silently so he wouldn't wake his teacher. Parshuram woke and accused Karna of being a Kshatriya. Parshuram cast Karna out and laid a curse on him so that when he needed his skills the most, he would forget them.

Introduction to Jacob the Entrepreneur

My name is Jacob and I am a Sophomore majoring in Economics. I'm from the Texas Hill country (a place called Bulverde, just north of San Antonio) however I was born in El Paso. Despite growing up near both the University of Texas and Texas A&M, I am actually a lifelong OU fan. My parents and grandparents were all fans of either of the other two schools, but I held my ground. My grandma would always tell me "you'll probably change your mind several times as you got older", but I knew that I wanted to be a Sooner. Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Week 12 Story - SHAZAM!

Billy Batson once again found himself in a familiar situation. He was running through the snow-covered streets of Chicago, taking random turns as his bullies chased him. The bullies in question were the Colson brothers, a nasty duo known for picking on the less fortunate kids at school. Following their previous encounters, Billy tried to avoid conflict and lay low at school, but when he saw the Colson brothers picking on a new student and a fellow orphan, he felt he had to intervene. Billy knew that if he could just make it to the subway station he could easily lose them. So, he took a hard right turn down the alley between Herbert's Diner and Walgreen's, jumping over fences and dodging the trash bags laying on the ground. He weaved his way through the crowd of people making their way down the subway steps and jumped onto the handrail, sliding his way down. Once at the bottom, he took a quick look behind him only to see the Colson brothers rampaging their way down the Subway...
