First one is technically correct.  Both are legitimate uses.

I proper way to use a coma is for hibernation...now the proper way to use a comma is different.

"I eat apples, kiwi, and..."

Always more than one comma in that situation.

I still have problems using commas properly myself but I'm like an English master and the funny thing is I HATE to read and write. It's just one of those natural born skills or whatever.

A proper use for a coma is to put the body into a state of hibernation while the body undergoes what might otherwise be a painful or difficult procedure.

In regard to your comma dilemma:
It's called a serial comma.

What should I do with my resume...?...

"Objective: To secure a position with a dynamic company where I can utilize my experience and willingness to work hard in order to better the company, myself and others."

?

"Known for honesty, integrity and a genuine passion for achieving goals for self and others."

?

"Used weed eaters, hedgers, chainsaws, rakes, and shovels to work on golf course."

?

"Licensed on RC Forklift, Squeeze Forklift, and Pallet Truck"

?

I hope this isn't why I cant get a job.

I always comma everything.  Example:


I like boobs, ass, and legs. 


I don't like how people write it like this:    I like boobs, ass and legs. 

It's technically correct, I learned in highschool back in '02 that they changed the rules and my second example is now ALSO correct, but it doesn't look right.  I'd say stick with commas after every word like in my first example.

Synchronicity is an ever present reality
for those who have eyes to see.

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness
without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.

Commas are arbitrarily placed according to the discretion of the writer, extended in various arrangements for implicit syntactic effect. Don't let grammar cunts tell you otherwise. E.E. Cummings says thank you.

It's called a serial comma.  You can put it in or not.

Wikipedia says the Chicago Manual of Style says use it, but the Associated Press style guide says to avoid it.  (who knows)

I always use it.

A lot of people use a comma to make a sentance run on when they should of used a full stop.

Or a semicolon to separate the two potential sentences.
