For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by animation. Even now as an “adult” my favorite movies and TV shows to watch are of the animated variety. I have often wondered why this is. Not that I was too concerned about it. But it does present a bit of social difficulty when a […]
If you can’t see the bright side to life … polish the dull side! I encountered this as I was doing my daily dose of avoiding life on one of my FB addictions. The universe has a way of sneaking up on you and slapping you upside the head when you least expect it. And usually […]
I took a walk today. I thought I knew where I was going, but about half way there I realized that I did not really know why I wanted to go there. So I took a left. Walked a few dozen feet and took a left again. I have been on this road before, but […]
After simmering in my own stew for the last couple of day (oooh what an appetizing image that must create), I have lots of thoughts that need sorting. Writing is one of my fundamental ways of doing just that. I find that my best writing just happens. I am the mere conduit for words that wish to be read. They are […]
My mind is troubled today. Troubled in the way of a placid lake on a windy day. There are waves on my serenity. Apparently I think differently than most people.

Since this has turned out to be one of the most popular posts on my blog, I feel it necessary to point out that it was not actually written by me, but by by good friend Pete of A Girl Called Pete. I Highly recommend you swing over and say hi! Sometimes I sit and watch the […]
When I started high school, being fond of the outdoors I joined what was called The Ecology Club. We basically did all sorts of outdoor activities depending on the time of the year. Among other things, I quickly gained a passion for canoeing, especially whitewater canoeing. The academic advisor of the club used to run 10 – […]
The blaring of sirens woke me up again. My first thought was: Damn I could use a bit of peace! My second though was: What exactly IS peace anyway? Time for a new quest!! I went to my neighbor, who has an answer for everything. He and his wife were shouting at each other. Did […]
What would we be without imagination? I live in an attic room. Well technically it is a loft that is right before the attic. But I am just below the roof. My futon is such that if I get up too quickly, I whack myself a good one. I often IMAGINE the ad I would put in […]
