• To the future parents... From one man's perspective on life.

    The terrors of your town, the worst criminals in your jails, the hitlers in the history books.. These are not anomalies in the world, these are not errors in genetics, they are not strictly a result of their own personal bad decisions late in their lives... They are products produced spefically by…
  • Revision/Re-envisioning

    I've never been much of a goal-oriented person, but I'm more of one at 25 than I was at 20. When I was a child, I wanted to grow up to be an author, a writer. College showed me I probably didn't want to be a journalist, and the publishing industry... well, they call it "breaking in" for a reason. I…
  • Being Simultaneously Broken And Okay

    Me: (Seeing Brittany's shirt poking out beneath sweatshirt.) I like your shirt. What shirt is that? Britt: *Pulls up sweatshirt* Me: Oh. It's your underwear. Well, I like your underwear. ---------------------- At work on Tuesday, I met with a client who really... made me hurt. After meeting with her…
  • Try seeing it from my perspective.

    Instead of telling me to be less sensitive, why don’t you try being less of an asshole?
  • Reflections of Cultural Perspectives Through Gardening

And here it is. This is the real stuff. My younger brother is 23 years old, about to finish his 5th and final year o…
  • Up For Air

    Eventually I hit that place of tiredness where, like it or not, going through the motions or not, work stops; tonight, that's now, so I'm here with a mug of peppermint tea and a great desire to go lie down and close my eyes. Relaxing, breathing, trying to let go of the big, urgent things on my to-do…
  • Sitting at a bench while blogging outside

    So, here I am sitting outside while the spring air is in the atmosphere. Right now as I try to observe everyone around me, I see that majority of them around up and about with their own business, majority of those walking have somewhere important to go to. There are a few where ou can see from the w…
  • There's a Time for Us

    I was thinking about how there are a lot of people who I refer to in this blog who I don't refer to often, and the problem with that is that I forget what aliases I use for them. Beh! -=-=-=-=-=-=- I was talking to [Mayida] the other day, one of [CM]'s friend who had come to Australia. She's her…
  • Birth and Death: A Different Perspective on Loss

    Recently, two friends have lost a parent to Cancer. While I can only imagine the pain of loss when a parent moves on -- I still have both of mine -- I'm sure the sorrow must be great. I thought I'd share a story a coworker, Fred, told me a few days ago. He told me of the day his son was born. This w…
