moving...
Well, a look back shows that I started my inconsistent journey with LiveJournal way back in December of 2005! When was that? A long time ago...
Well, on a whim I've decided to establish a new home for the 2010s. Moving to:

2009 YIR
Happy New Year! 2010 has arrived and I just learned that the last decade is called "The Aughts". Now I'm just wondering why. Better jfgi later ( Read more... ) -
Seattle: May 7, 2009
Seeking: a city nearby that I've never visited before to go to for a long weekend.
Flew out early Thursday morning and arrived to find Seattle as I expected it to look, very green and filled with trees, as well as gray in overcast. The forecast had suggested that it would be storming that day and we were fortunate to spend most of the day pretty ( Read more... ) -
Why We Suck - Denis Leary
Thought it would be funnier than it turned out to be. Writing sucks a lot but that's ok because it's not supposed to be literature. More like Denis Leary's blog where he rants and is really offensive in a funny way. The beginning was WAY funny and then it just got old and the ranting got more and more random. Fortunately very short. Ok, ok, ( Read more... ) -
Death of the Newspaper
The other day I flipped by the Chris Matthew show and heard them lamenting the death of the newspaper. Many newspapers are closing up shop and I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with just one or two national papers. Anyway, I didn't hear their whole conversation but I did catch Chris Matthew's comment that by reading the newspaper, you are ( Read more... ) -
Hot, Flat, and Crowded - Thomas L. Friedman
What a great read. This book talks about the urgent need for a Green Revolution. It goes in depth about climate change and conservation, as well as how the existing system works and why it is no longer sustainable. Also offered is a vision of how great things could be if we would only get our acts together and make it so! For someone like me, ( Read more... ) -

ready to rock 2009
Happy New Year again! Well so far it's been an interesting year already! Perhaps kicking it off in Amsterdam set some sort of a tone...
To begin with, my poor little sister was involved in a car accident that pretty much destroyed our vehicle. Fortunately nobody was injured, but the car was not so lucky. So now we've embarked on a post car ( Read more... ) -
New Year's in Amsterdam
Amsterdam has rung in the New Year. 2008 finally came to its sluggish end and here I am already 30 minutes into 2009. Time is a strange thing never quite moving in the way you think.
I am here in Amsterdam because Riverbed decided to send me. I headed over here just a short time after Christmas which was slightly jarring for me as I enjoy ( Read more... ) -
One Smokin' President
So today someone mentioned that Obama smokes like a chimney and can't quit. I knew that he had smoked, but I thought that he had quit right before the campaign. If he does still smoke then that's pretty disappointing. To see someone so intelligent and organized, who had the strength and determination to run for President of the United States ( Read more... )
