It took about 12 hours before I decided to actually write some resolutions, contrary to the end of my 2015 Recap post. I didn't want to rush and write down the standard "new year, new me" resolutions; I wanted to think about things that didn't go as planned or wanted in 2015 (and previous years) … Continue reading Going Back On My Word: 2016 Resolutions
A Wild, But Not-Wild, 2015
2015, overall, was a pretty good year, both outside and inside the Terrordome. Not a lot of exciting social events happened for me but that wasn't always a bad thing. However, there were quite a few peaks, valleys, plateaus, barriers, and roadblocks that I had to navigate over, around, and through. In no particular order, … Continue reading A Wild, But Not-Wild, 2015
Too Much To Be Thankful For, To Put In A Facebook Status
On this U.S. Holiday evening, there is a TON that I am thankful/grateful for..... In addition to family: Friends. I don't tell them nearly enough, either. 🙂 FU5. A special group of most of my best friends. I first met 2 of them (J.R. and Allen) 14 years ago, 3 more (Angela, although we had been in band together … Continue reading Too Much To Be Thankful For, To Put In A Facebook Status
Simple Pleasures
Hope you had a Happy Halloween! As I was on the bus, returning home on this hazy, foggy morning an hour or so ago, I started thinking about the Halloween party that I left. The party itself was fun but what really made my night were the people there. To me, simple joy(s), such as … Continue reading Simple Pleasures
Inside The Terrordome V
Happenings in, and around, my life: - I am finally finished with Midterms. From roughly last Sunday (10/10) to about 11:30 PM tonight (10/19), I have spent easily 5-12 hours a day working on different Midterm assignments and projects for my 4 classes, depending on if I worked that day. (I think I'm paying for it with … Continue reading Inside The Terrordome V
“Short Circuits”
To get some of the more distasteful subjects out of the way first: Â Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis refused to grant marriage licenses to LGBT couples months ago. The Supreme Court made its ruling about gay marriages... and Davis refused to grant the licenses, based on "religious freedom". She and her attorney appealed; a Circuit … Continue reading “Short Circuits”
“List some of your achievements”: “I… Worked?”
I recently set up a profile on the business-oriented networking site, LinkedIn. It asked for the usual basic information: Name, Birthday, Marital Status, Current Job and Position(s), Previous Job(s) and Position(s), plus Education - Current and Previous School(s). However, underneath each of the Job and Education sections, it is strongly suggested that, in addition to basic … Continue reading “List some of your achievements”: “I… Worked?”
“What If…?”
"What if...": two powerful words, especially when leading off a sentence, that can you down uncharted mental roads and lead you to, and through, a maze of possible pathways and locations. I think nearly everyone, in their lifetime, has asked "what if...?" about something. Marvel Comics even came out with a seriesi called What If?, … Continue reading “What If…?”
