Keep it simple (5-19-11)

So last night I find myself watching reruns of Cheers on the TV Land channel at 2am. I remember how much I used to love watching that show. It reminds me of a simpler time in my life and more than that I marvel at the simplicity of the characters and the writing. They come to the same place every day,...

Words and Actions

Here I am the day after my first ever poetry reading. I have mixed feelings. I read 5 pieces in all and the experience was phenomenal but there was one thing missing my friend.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

When I see great acts of kindness it inspires me. When the act is close to home, it really inspires me. I guess the closer the kindness the stronger the effect. They showed Extreme Home Makeover tonight in my city and I never felt so inspired to get out and do something to help other people. I've seen that show a few times and it...

A Lie for a Lie (taken from my facebook)


A few days ago I asked the question Is it okay to lie to someone who had just lied to you? Earlier that afternoon I ran into a guy who lied to me and I in turn lied to him right back. Afterwards I felt ridiculous. There was no need for me to lie back to...

Sorting Ghosts (6-8-09)

Times have gotten pretty tough at work. Like much of America , retail just isnt what it was 5 years ago. To make matters worse, theres politics in this company that are right off the pages of any T.V. show script about evil, ignorant, vindictive people fighting for control and revenge.
