Whoo WOMM

Even with network TV, there’s something to watch just about every night of the week: So You Think You Can Dance on Wed./Thurs.; How I Met Your Mother on Mon.; and NCIS on Tues. I’m a sucker for TV, even the ‘uncool’ shows. So recently, I’m trying something new… [...]

Our Best Tool: Hope

I never really understood or knew much about the hippie movement. To my knowledge, bunches of young people camped out on grass, made flower necklaces and took incredible amounts of drugs starting with acid/LSD. PBS’s program on the “Summer of Love” gave me an entirely different perspective.
The program itself deals with the seed [...]

Me Siento Mucho Mejor

…porque esta aqui y me oiste
Me siento mucho mejor.
Charly García.
No razonar
desaparecer
cuando tenías que estar
te echaste a correr
lo que hiciste en mí
no tiene perdón
y yo sé que me siento mucho más fuerte
sin tu amor.
Mucho tiempo atrás
me hiciste sentir
que nuestro amor era más
y de esa forma vivir
no sé más quién soy
de qué te reís
y ahora sé que [...]

Save a life

A worthy cause: help give hope to those who’ve lost it.

Old Fashioned Style

My July… or is it August? No it can’t be… issue of Elle greeted me in its usual cramped posture when I opened my mail box this evening. As I delighted with each page, orgasming over the marriage of style/art and marketing/product placement, the tiniest of voices inside my mind started to weep.
Despite all [...]

Giving myself a break.

A few months ago, I decided to take this whole ‘blogging thing’ a bit more seriously, spending more time researching posts and writing meaningful content.  The results were fabulous.  Since January, my blog readership has gone up 600% (thanks everyone!), and I’ve made a few amazing friends through my entries and of course my Tumblr.
But what [...]

Houston for a Week

 That’s just part of what I did back in Houston.  Yup.  My parents bought a house last year and built a new one from the ground up, and we finally moved in last week. 
Usually they both go online at work.  Dad loves the tech blogs and on my walks home from work, we’d discuss what [...]

The Bachelorette

I think most of us who have gone through college and been out in the workforce for a few years have suffered heartbreak.  It’s an intense cloud of weeks, even months, that seems to damper your ability to function in society and stunt hopes of finding someone that’s just perfect for you.  At least in [...]

Reblog: I’ve been tagged, yo!

Mommy, mommy!  Casacaudill tagged me!
 
Thankfully, this does not mean that someone took spray paint and did me up like a wall.  All I has (yes, has) to do is answer these five loverly questions about myself, and who doesn’t like to do that?
To quote Becky quoting Laura, “for those new to ‘Tagging’ – it’s a [...]
