Anger
I have been thinking a lot about the lecture I watched yesterday via Gallaudet U online with Julian Bond -- how anger can be the fuel to encourage change and someone in the audience mentioned how people get really passive and not allowing themselves to be angry at what should be changed. It made me realize I have a lot of anger that I've repressed ( Read more... ) -

The effects of the Twitterverse and Facebook
I was reading a blog post by a Twitter friend and it made me think of how far reaching Twitter and Facebook has been in my own life. It started me thinking of how Twitter has freed me from my limitations of communication that I have to put up with in my daily life because of my imperfect speech, deafness and continual misunderstandings with people ( Read more... ) -
Relationship with mother
I've been thinking about how my relationship with my mother has shaped who I am today both as an individual and as a parent to my son. I had a conversation with her yesterday that made me realize that some of my self-view is really based on what she thinks of me and what I think of her. Growing up, a common question she asked me after school was ( Read more... ) -
Final days of Guiding Light
I've been thinking about how much the soap opera, Guiding Light, has impacted me over the years as the show is coming to a close with its' final episode today. I, like many others, am sad that I won't see familiar faces day in and day out and just the thought that Guiding Light will not be on at 2 p.m. anymore bothers me. Monday will be a sad ( Read more... ) -

Differences in Thought processes
Boy it's been a while since I've posted here. I just need to write about what happened yesterday that really amazed me and just made me realize just how vastly different my partner and I are...even in our thought process. I was simply relating a story I had heard in my psychology class and she got bent out of shape because of the teacher saying ( Read more... ) -
Life is fleeting...
After my visit in Montana, seeing my parents -- how they are coping with their health challenges, it's really given me pause to think how life is precious and how much I tend to waste it by being irritated by such stupid things. I recently found out a woman I used to know when I first moved to Houston has passed away of ovarian cancer last week. ( Read more... )
