Bathtub Musings
I wonder who people really are. Underneath the persona that they sell you. What drives people to create a socially likable character is definitely understandable but most people get lost in it. For some its a switch that goes on and off when select colleagues are around, for some is the level of friendship they…

Finding simple pleasures
When I wake up usually there is a feeling of “oh, this again” and its normally up to coincidence, a forced positive attitude of just the universe to get me out of the house much less out of the house in a decent mood. So I’ve become one of those people that take pleasure in…

On Relationships
When it comes down to it; you’ll never know people as well as you think. Human nature at its core is self serving so keep that in mind when you allow people into your life. Remember that you can never truly know someone; it would require a supernatural ability; to read minds and correctly predict…

Miss America – Muslim – Big Whoop
So, I didn’t know there was an unspoken agreement that all the miss america’s would be cornflower, women; pure blood american protestant. Much like the description for what our president used to be; white, over 35 and Christian. In 2010 America has become so much more than the white bread standard, so I’m surprised that…

Selfish Guys
A selfish guy is normally an apparent jerk. You can spot him immediately and you know that there’s something wrong with him for the most part but you don’t exactly know what….

Of a certain age…
I’ve officially gotten to that age where I’m looking for meaning in everything in the past; bastardizing Facebook to get back in contact with friends that I casually walked away from and I’m looking forward hoping that life’s lessons and the people I have around me will help me move forward. The people who were…

Deep Breath
Today was harder than yesterday. Everyone is telling me that it’s going to get better, but it seems like it is only getting worse. I can’t keep recanting the story over and over again, scrutinizing the details and going it over it with a fine tooth comb doesn’t seem to help.

Sweetest Goodbye
The hardest words to say are the sweetest knots in your throat sweet sour bitter amazing tastes on the tongue The silence turns the turbulent dagger in your heart Words would kill us now Silence makes us strong Thoughts only other broken people can see Tears that brings tears to others stricken with this disease…

Meandering the way
The difference between good and evil is what? The way you believe in your cause, the person on the opposing side believes in theirs, with equal if not more passion than you’ll ever have. I think its great that people rationalize differently and that unique occurances are few and far inbetween. We forget that everyone…

J.D Salinger – Misunderstood
Catcher in the Rye is definitely not the only effective book I’ve read by JD Salinger, but it was the first. It’s honesty and human-ness shocked me as a child accustomed to reading fairy tales. I was too young to read it then but when I re-read it in high school I understood. People argue…

Earth Shaking…
So, most people have only heard about the Earthquakes that rippled through Haiti and the aftershock earthquakes in that region. Since then, CNN has reported an Earthquake in Venezuela, Argentina, China and Guatemala but there have been more, many more. http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/qed/ While we are making huge efforts in Haiti which is by far the region…
