For the record, the photo above is definitely not my home. If it were I would be rocking to and fro in a fetal position in the darkest corner I could find. I merely used this photo to paint an image. Of a slightly less cluttered, but item filled > 1400 square foot home, inhabited [...]
My memory is fading. Which is sort of concerning, since I'm only thirty. I like to tell myself that it's not failing and that my brain is just occupied with more important information like precise movie quotes and the perfect comeback to something someone said to me a week ago. While my medial temporal lobe [...]
It started with a red scarf,Or so I've been told.A confident young punker,Sarcastic and bold. I went to buy strings,For the Schecter I've since hung on the wall,You were fancy and handsome,Puka shell necklace an all. From there it was burritos,Climbing and beers,Complaining about our now x's,Talking futures and fears. Then there was a pub [...]
We are so lucky to have you,Our mentor, and our Vader,Super strong with the force, you areNow, then, and later. You’re dapper like Jean Luke,but also suave like Kirk,So much more logical than Spock,but with more of a smirk.

Exciting times! SO much happening all at once! New career opportunities. European adventures. And my first "published" article outside of my blog sites! I recently had three blog posts accepted to one of my favorite blog sites, HelloGiggles.com. I considered this was a huge victory and my excitement was only surpassed when I received an email from HG [...]
I'm having the best night ever. It's Saturday night, its raining in San Diego, we have a fire roaring in our wood burning stove, we're drinking a local brewery's porter, eating mint chocolate chip ice cream in pajamas all while watching the Wizard of Oz. The only thing that could make it better would be [...]
We've discussed in the past the necessary evil of some labels. I don't feel that being either an introvert or an extrovert is in any way a hindrance. I've debated with some folks that feel that being an introvert has held them back, or deterred them from living, but I don't believe that labeling yourself [...]
Let's face it. You're kind of a big deal. You may not shout it from the mountain tops, but you know what's up in your working world. People come to you for answers, and because you are reliable and a known commodity...Now we just have to teach you how to convey that to someone that [...]
