Hi guys...I don't know if any of my actual, live friends still reads this...but if I post anything on the internet now, it will most likely be on Facebook. I spend quite a bit of time on that site anyways, and haven't posted anything on this site in months, so it just makes sense to let my livejournal site go idle...However, I'm not going to ( Read more... )

Well, I've survived another Christmas season of retail, and so far this one was the hardest, both on my feet and my spirit. I enjoy working as a bookseller and being out on the sales floor much more than being a cashier, both for the extra money and the opportunity to connect with people, but it seemed that people were more demanding this year than ( Read more... )

Each time I go into work, I am continually amazed by the power of books and their ability to connect people. I love to read, and while I think that I would say that science fiction is my favorite type of genre, I have always been interested in different types of literature and pop fiction. This have enabled me to be able to meet and converse with ( Read more... )

I was listening to NPR this morning, and realized that this is a rather auspicious day in history.  On this date 200 years ago, not only was Charles Darwin born, but so was Abraham Lincoln.  Also, the first official meeting date for the NAACP was set for today in the year of 1909.  While the meeting didn't take place until three months later, its ( Read more... )
