Ramblings

A 8' x 4' space is where I learned the most important lessons of my childhood. I shared a room with my younger sister for approximately 14 years. There I learned compromise, dissapointment, resentment and the true meaning of happiness. It was only after I was given my own room that I truly grasped the importance of being an alone people person. I value my time. Especially the time I spend with family and friends. It still amazes me that everyday I manage to learn a new tidbit about my coworkers, longtime friends and family members. Every interaction with another human being leaves a mental mark in my mind; a new tidbit that continues to color my internal portrait of that person. We are an infinitely fascinating species for one reason: brains. Our brains our responsible for some very beautiful and dark things. Our emotional attitudes and physical actions all stem from the brain. Every year we get closer to unlocking the different functions of our cerebellum. But we will ne...

I know it seems kind of uncouth to discuss politics when people everywhere are clebrating the birth of Jesus, oh wait I mean the time of gift giving and spending money. As for the former I thing with the latter it is okay to go ahead and share my thoughts on the new term Happy Holidays! I'll save the Jesus/Christmas thing for another time! It didn't dawn on me until I started to wish my co-workers Seasons Greetings. Since I am still fairly new to my job I still am not completely aware of everyone's religious affiliation.

At the moment I said it I thought oh no another politically correct phrase meant to lessen the true meaning of Christmas. Now after hearing it passed around the institution I work at I now know it sounds completely like I sold out. Now don't get me wrong I completely respect everyone's right to be able to express themselves in the work place. But this m...

Saddam alive; Osama alive; Phillip alive and well and living the good life. Times change, people get older and life passes people by. About three months ago I stood here on my bully pulpit and proclaimed the end of stagnation. I promised to keep in touch and to keep you abreast of my activities and daily dalliances. Well as fate would have it I reverted back to my old ways and have not written here in awhile. I thought since Saddam has made a much awaited appearance in the hands of American forces I would make an appearance here on the world wide web. It seems like President Bush is working his magic on the short term fixes for our nation. The new economic numbers show some growth, not much but growth nonetheless! Now Saddam has been caught alive and without harm to his person! Mark it well here! I am predicting another victory for the incumbent president in 2004! Why? Well with no stand-out democrat and the primary attack issues concerning the war on terrorism and the faltering eco...
