Music of My Mind #1
A married couple at work gave me a Christmas present this year – a set of CD’s. They told me that they give it to the people that they feel make their lives great. It was a very thoughtful gift – with a specific CD tailored specifically for me. The interesting part about the gift [...]
Hope and Hallelujah
The introspection starts around my birthday. Moments of speculation, moments of wonder – the cosmic questions posed and answers hypothesized and deduced. Maybe there’s a god above, but all I’ve ever learned from all of this is simply that the answers are never truly clear – but they do ultimately come. 2008 will be looked [...]

It didn’t seem sordid. It didn’t seem full of gossip. It just seemed like a former friend, reminiscing about [...]

I was a [...]
