Coldplay's "Yellow" for Oni Amilca & Amilca
Everytime I hear this song it makes me think of Amilca. I'm listening to it now at work. And now it makes me think of Oni Amilca. She loves when I sing this song to her. "Sing me, mama! Sing me, mama," she squeels with delight. She has got to be the only person who actually asks me to sing. I wonder if she thinks it sounds beautiful...

The Missing Bench
(I haven’t written in a while. No excuses. I’m just lame.)
For years near The Embarcadero there was this bench. On or near the bench there was a transient man who always screamed in tongues (or a language indistinguishable for most people on the planet, I think). This man was always there. Seriously, he was always there - summer, winter, rain, ( Read more... ) -
Amilca's Birthday
Today would have been one of my good friend, Amilca's 29th birthday. Her birthday is exactly two weeks to the day before mine and we were best friends from birth. It's hard not to get sad wondering what her life would have been like if she had made it to 29, or realizing that it has been almost three years without her voice in my world. And I know ( Read more... ) -
Things You Should Never Say...
One of my coworkers comes into my office. He is young and sweet and seems like he would be a lot of fun at a party. So, he comes into my office, takes one look at me and says, "Boy, you look tired. I mean, you just look beat!" Thank you very much for the compliment. *rolling eyes*
I mean, of all the things to tell a woman, telling her that she looks ( Read more... ) -
And So On & So Forth
I haven't had much to say these past few days which is unusual for me because I can usually find something to ramble about even if it's nothing. lol... I think that somedays I write too much, which doesn't leave any room for blogging because my brain is stuck on one train of thought, or maybe I'm just lazy.
This weekend I did a major over-haul of ( Read more... ) -
My First Rejection
Today I received my first rejection letter. My mom said it's not a real rejection letter, but whatever. I was rejected. lol.... I'm not going to say what for because I don't want to jinx myself, but I have to admit that being rejected was not as bad as I thought it would be, but then again this was the first one. It's hard to want to purpse ( Read more... ) -
Much Ado About Nothing
Yet another day and another opportunity for excitment. I think that's one of the amazing things about life, you know. That each day is a new day and is full of endless possibilities of good things yet to come. Or at least that's how today feels. It's a good day and the sun is shining. I don't know if it's a good day because I'm having a good hair ( Read more... ) -

14 Year-Old Sentenced to Prison for Pushing Hall Monitor
I borrowed this from a friend's blog. Thought that it was way too important to not spread the word. The 14 year-old girl was sentenced to 7 years in prison after pushing a hall monitor... yes, pushing! Read the article on her release after one year in prison here! -
To Cut or Not to Cut
Yes, I am obcessed with my hair. I think I've made that abudantly clear. I spend way too much time on two sites that just encourage me to buy hair products to the point K. is beginning to ask me whether it's possible to have a disorder that makes it a compuslive habit to buy conditioner and wonders if one really needs 7 different conditioners.
