• Who Says Happy Holidays Isn't Christian?

    I have a pet peeve: "Happy Holidays isn't Christian." Especially grinding on this pet peeve was the song "Christmas with a Capital C" that came out a few years ago. "Christmas With A Capital 'C'" from Go Fish is one of those in your face, pull no punches, apologize to no one songs and I don't rea…
  • Season's Greetings

    I just love it when the holiday season comes around. More people jump on the "friendly" bandwagon. We are more willing to speak to strangers in December. We greet each other with "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" as we come and go. I suppose the words roll off our tongues easier and more c…
  • 4th of July

    Happy Fourth of July! I was supposed to go to the National Mall with Musubichan to watch Barry Manilow and Aretha Franklin, but she changed our plans--I should feel lucky, actually. Instead we are having her friends over for a BBQ. While it means more work, it also means less walking around the Mal…
  • Do you pound or high five?

    I went to high five a female coworker yesterday and she looked super confused. Apparently my high five looked like I was telling her to stop talking (like that song, "Stop in the Name of Love") First of all, I'm going to have to start using my high five to shut people up when they are talking…
  • Easter Makes Me Uncomfortable

    Sometimes I wish religious holidays could somehow be kept separate and holy from the skewed and secular versions that grow out of them. Whenever spring comes around, stores are filled to the brim with plastic eggs, marshmallow Peeps, baskets of toys and other pastel colored goodies... and I know…
  • On This Last Day of 2008

    I began this entry yesterday but didn't finish it. So here I am in 2009. Another year...what else can I say...Happy Happy Happy! Everybody Happy! This is how I have been surviving the winters for the last three years. My day light lightbox to fight SAD. I have been sitting in front of that…
  • Merry Christmas Or Something Like That

    Merry Christmas to all even though some of you may be pricks and bum holes that you really don't deserve a jolly good holiday salutation from me. Just take the greetings and shut up with it sheesh. As if it's so wrong to wish someone a merry Christmas. Outlaw it then sheesh. Watching people get…
  • It's Christmas time!

  • 4th of July

    Today is the 232nd year of our nation, the 232nd year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I kinda pre-celebrated by watching the HBO special John Adams. I don't get HBO but it went to DVD a couple of weeks ago and I devoured all seven hour long episodes in a few days. I thought it…
  • Alive

    What's more exciting than feeling alive Coming home greeted by arms stretched out wide With your love looking deep into your eyes and whispers of goodnight as you close your eyes What can make me more happy Than seeing my smiles returned Hearing your heartbeat quicken and reading our love poems in…
