This is an interesting topic right now. When Miss California was asked by blogger Perez Hilton what her thoughts on the issue were, she answered with a question that she says came straight from her heart. Not that it was an answer I liked ( Read more... )

I was restless all day today as I looked at the beautiful weather from my small cubicle. You know that feeling you get when it's almost 5 o'clock, that little surge of energy you get when you know it's almost time to go home and relax? I had that all day today. I also made the mistake of going on the computer and looking at the news before work, ( Read more... )

I just finished watching the movie "Seven Pounds", and I realized near the end of it that it was a poor movie choice if you have to get up early the next day. I tried jumping into bed and closing my eyes, but it's one of those movies that makes you think, the kind that brings up gnawing questions about your own life, the ones that just won't go ( Read more... )

I started off the new year on a sour note. I rolled out of bed not exactly in top form (highly due in my part to the drinking I participated in the night before) and was less than excited about the 12 hour car ride ahead of us. I was happy to get back to the familiarity of home, but wasn't ready to make the journey ( Read more... )

Don't you hate writer's block?

I just finished watching "CNN Hero," and I am completely inspired. There were ten nominated individuals that dedicated their lives to helping others. Selfless acts that ranged from creating hope in a hurricane ravaged New Orleans to providing schooling to children in Cambodia who were otherwise working twelve hour days at a trash site, were some of ( Read more... )

I was in another bad mood today, partly due to my current job, partly for no reason at all. There has been a recurring thought in my mind for the past three years or so, one that bothers me and has continually given me a sense of failure ( Read more... )
