The past few days of unemployment do not rival those of the east coast division. I have not done anything in a 98 mile increment. I've spent a lot of time thinking in circels, some days good , some days bad. I think I have finally concluded that a love I had for only 3 months isn't worth the beating I've administered to myself. So, today should be ( Read more... )

Here we go again, Jaime's heart's been broken into even smaller pieces than ever before. It's like after your heart has been smashed to smithereens so many times, you lose little pieces through the cracks of the deck, or to the breaks in the sidewalk, or under the fridge and each time you put it back together, less and less of it remains. It's ( Read more... )

The link is from about.com and the sources are American news sources, interesting figures nonetheless.

So, why is it that Canadian and British soldiers are currently fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, but in the articles I've read, it mentions nothing of American troops?

Sometimes I feel that I'll burst wide open when the memories of/with them all start flooding in. I'm smiling with watering eyes.

Yes, I'm talking about ( Read more... )

So, today at work a woman came in and she said "excuse me, I think I've spoken to you before." I immediately thought it was going to be a complaint, but she lead in to "Do you remember a friend and I came in and commented on your look? We talked about how you resembled Botticelli's models?" I told her that I did remember and thanked her for the ( Read more... )

Our generation is full of a bunch of lazy asses. I'll even admit to it. There are weeks I don't even hit the 40hr mark, then other weeks I hit the 70hr mark, it's a fair trade, no more no less, I think. (Although, I think I work harder than a lot of people I come across, save for some of my midwestern friends ( Read more... )

I like a good relationship as much as the next person and I seem to be in one now, but sometimes things happen in relationships that really drive me nuts.  For instance, tonight I get an e-mail from my "boyfriend" saying that he was bothered by a comment I made on the phone yesterday. Well, we had 4 conversations and I'm pretty much at a loss for ( Read more... )

I think I'll begin making a list of the places I want to go before I die. I never knew how many places i wanted to go until I started to look at maps and more books, now I wonder if I'll have the time to get the money to do it ( Read more... )
