And I Love Living

And when cry it means water is coming out of my eyes, and when I laugh it means my emotions have connected with my muscles, and when I feel my heart it means my soul is wounded, and when I see clouds it means there are millions of gallons of water above me, and when [...]

7 days ago, 7 days from now

Just seven days ago I rearranged my room. I returned from the Road Trip to a bedroom missing a piece of furniture – my long had desk which I gifted to my sister. I took her car to california, she took my desk to her apartment.
Let’s pretend it was fair, shall we?

Photo Fraud

I’m not one to hop all over blogosphere bandwagons, but this scandal that has broken out about photo manipulation in news services is too good to pass up.

Derek Halet

“When I was in Mexico with an Indian friend of mine” would be a head-turning way to start a story. Just imagine where that story could go…
