Bring it On

December 18, 2012

The days used to tick by very slowly.  Especially when I first started this job.  It was a change of pace for me for sure, but a necessary one.  Now the days just race by.  Not just individually.  They race by together in groups.  Waves of days, just passing m in this marathon of life. [...]

June 27, 2012

If I had to sum up my life in words not including “perfectly” or “cursed,” I think I’d be forced to describe it as the act of waiting for the other shoe to drop.  This often leads to a great deal of self-sabotage.  When you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop, you often inadvertently cause the [...]

January 25, 2012

Long ago when this blog started, I detailed some of the important beings in my life.  Given that it takes some time to really establish a connection and learn the ways of someone else, I usually wait a bit until doing this.  Now that we’ve had Brooklyn for over ten months, I think that time [...]

Too Big To Fail

January 23, 2012

Random Thoughts

November 15, 2011

Police wearing riot gear “evicted” the Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park in the dead of night.  NYC administration officials claim it was because of “health and safety concerns.” If by that they mean the “health and safety of securing wealth for the very few” then, yes, I guess they are right.

The Quest to Give Meaning

November 14, 2011

When I was in college, I was a bit of a spitfire.  I decided pretty early on that my life was meant to be spent in the service of others in some capacity.  When I started really kicking ass and taking names (i.e. organizing events and raising awareness), people always asked me how I learned [...]

Umbrellas and Regrets

September 26, 2011

Nothing compares, no worries or cares. Regrets and mistakes they’re memories made. Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste? -Adele It was raining like crazy all night and all morning.  I slept poorly last night and had a series of weird dreams, some of which I can’t even recall.   On the way into [...]
