I had an enjoyable, long overdue, week off from work! I had two goals that I wanted to accomplish and I did fairly well. The first was to begin (well, to finish) a grim Christmas short story I had been thinking about. I did start it and finished the first part of three. The second was to finish my history paper; which I did finish even if I only had four hours left before it was due! By Friday I had enough of my goals met that I decided it would be okay to visit an interest of mine in El Paso. I’m very glad I took the time for myself and decided to drive four hours to visit him....(Read More) |

Recently, in Western Civilization to 1964 we had to write an essay on what we thought was an important Greek value. Let me tell you...the book we had to read was poorly written and organized by hurricane winds of chance. I was really dreading this essay for a couple reasons. First, the book wasn't entertaining enough for me to retain much information. Second, names were used (well it is history!) but without linking them to any emotion. People would be brought up and dropped within the same sentence and it was pretty difficult to keep hold of who was Greek, who was Persian, and who was just there. I boiled down my silver and finally wrote the paper... finished right before class and didn't have time to review it. Shame on me for waiting till the last minute, but, all-in-all the paper turned out pretty well...(Read More) |

Start today fresh! Yesterday could be considered the most feared date in the USA, but, it has passed without any catastrophic destruction; we still live. Before the tragedy of 9/11, I knew nothing of the Twin Towers, nor did millions of other Americans, and now it is burrowed deep in the minds of many. What is the importance of remembering the "attack of 9/11”"? With so much information available to the masses, the idea that we were/are a helpless nation under attack, a total surprise to our frivolous government, not only demeans us as citizens, but, shows the naïve traits we allow to exist....(Read More) |

Life can be obnoxious, sometimes, to say in the least. Its obnoxious there isn’t more hours in a day. Its obnoxious how many hours we need to sleep. And its obnoxious my time-management skills have been lacking something fierce as of late. What is even more obnoxious, I know my feeling of being inferior has nothing to do with time, but, instead, with how much I recognize I can do better.....(Read More) |
