Well, it was an exciting and busy weekend in Spartanburg. I arrived Friday afternoon and spent a few hours playing around with Jasmine and little Jonathan, which is always fun. They worship me! Then big Jon stopped by to pick them up and I got to see Jordan for a couple of minutes too. Always nice. Later that evening, I went out with Sebastian ( Read more... )

I am happy to be done with law school; that is a simple statement, which lacks much depth; however, it is really all I can say on the topic. As an academic journey, I have to say, I didn't much care for it.

I think I fit that description better than it may appear. Also, an episode of Law and Order: SVU taught me something interesting about myself and my attraction to teachers ( Read more... )

I think I am beginning to begin again. Finally! And, I am happy enough with my solitude. It allows me to develop internally. On other fronts, things are good, though tasks often tug at me. All in all, I cannot complain.

I find myself caught in moments of torment and pain, and I wonder what to do with it. I know what I want to do; what I need to do. But, then I cannot fully contemplate where my happiness may truly come from. The source is so difficult to identify in the present, much less trying to forecast things yet to come. However, I know where I stand now ( Read more... )
