"You better have some skills in this world. You better bring something to the dinner party, or you will be the dinner. You will either have value or be grist for the mill — nothing more. I know it seems so unfair. I didn't make the rules. The truth is that the world doesn't have … Continue reading You Better Have Some Skills…
Honesty
Know Your Rights
Author's Note: You can agree to disagree with me, but I feel that what I am saying is completely valid and I make no apologies for it. These are MY feelings. You don't have to share in them and I did not write this to argue, I wrote it because it's my perspective. Rights in … Continue reading Know Your Rights
You Don’t Have To Hide Yourself…
Inspiration for this weekend. 🙂 We can all use a little encouragement at times.
“Am I Mean?”
This was the question I posed to one of my best friends the other morning when a friend said something stupid and I responded. If you make something public, don't expect intelligent people not to make a statement. It's common sense. There's a lot you can say to and in front of me. I will … Continue reading “Am I Mean?”
Do You Remember?

I gave her multiple opportunities to "get it right" before she did, but I didn't start working until she paid in full. Call me crazy, but … Continue reading Do You Remember?

While going through a box that I never unpacked from my original move (because nothing inside it was overly important), I found a ton of missing CD's. I reorganized that box for its intended purpose, took the … Continue reading I Refuse To Change
No One Knows…
Praise to all the night owls who get it done. 🙂 I have some things to do today that may not give me the opportunity to write or post for a few days. If everything is copacetic when I return, I'll share some thoughts I have running circles through my head. If not, I will … Continue reading No One Knows…
The Most Important Things
"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them —words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie … Continue reading The Most Important Things
There’s A Difference
Of late, I've noticed people feel incredibly safe behind their computer-based bubbles, but I often wonder how real people are being. Sometimes, stories don't add up (You can't bullshit me, I have common sense.), and other times, it takes about two seconds for someone to get offended by the simplest thing. What is that you … Continue reading There’s A Difference
