Aimless Drifting
So, there is a thought that's been keeping me awake and keeping me from concentrating and even encroaching on my ability to relax and enjoy reading; that thought is this...what's next for me?
I don't have any intention of leaving my current job. I mean I love it here, I want to come to work every day. But, I wonder...what is next for me? I mean ( Read more... ) -

The Education Situation
Every time I talk to my mother about her work, I feel a little bit of that general massive cloud of overall hopelessness sink in. My mother is a teacher, she teaches Montessori pre-school in a public preschool. She has a Masters degree in Elementary Education, she has been certified by the International School of Montessori, she is on the School ( Read more... ) -
A Hold on the Break-Up
SO you know how I was totally going to divorce CTA and badmouth my former spouse in the streets? I've decided to hold-off on that. On Friday night I had a crazy marathon of welcome drinks for a new co-worker downtown, racing North on the Red line home to change clothes, hoping back on the Red line to go down to the South side for an Affinity kick ( Read more... ) -
Yes Virginia there are Queer African Americans....
So, on Monday I went to this town hall meeting on the Southside about the concerns of the Black Queer community. One of my co-workers told me about it, it was co-hosted by HRC and I guess it was a follow-up to one that was held about a month ago. Now for me to get to the South Side is quite a hike, and I don't know where the hell I am (like ( Read more... ) -
Missing Jerks When They're Gone...

Big pool, small pool...
So, I pretty much think that online dating won't work for me. However, I am currently talking to someone. Someone who, ironically lives in Indiana, from which I just moved. We'll see what happens, but you know, whatever ( Read more... ) -

4/18/2007 - Supreme Court Ruling
I'm sure that everyone has heard numerous stories about the 5-4 Supreme Court Decision yesterday overturning a prior ruling by the same court nullifying Bush's Federal Abortion Ban. It's not a surprise really, I mean he got to put 2 of his guys on the Court. Although Alito and Roberts refused to answer the question of how they would vote if a ( Read more... ) -
Flowers, Family and Settling In
So I officially started my new position in the legal department a week ago today. On that last Monday as my afternoon started, I was greeted with not one, but two deliveries. First, my grandmother sent my this really pretty bouquet of pinkish/red tulips arranged with these cute little yellow flowers. It was a total surprise and so exciting. ( Read more... )
