Accountability. It’s a Very Good Thing!

I am not a religious person. My beliefs and morals are not derived from any holy book out there, yet I am a very principled person.  I learned the difference between right and wrong from my mom.  She also instilled in me that if I make a promise, I better keep it.  To this day, [...]

World Cup and Women

So Japan has won the Women’s World Cup. Yes I was rooting for the United States, but if the US had to lose to someone, I’m glad that it was Japan.  That country has suffered quite a bit in the course of the past few months, and let’s face it, they really did need something [...]

Tell Me Again… What’s Being Protected?

I read an article yesterday about how Doug Hutchison of “The Green Mile” married a 16 year-old girl in Nevada. Marriage of minors is allowed in 39 states. So, a 51 year-old guy can marry someone who is young enough to still be in high school. That’s 39 states that see no issue with children [...]

Bachmann, Murdoch… Yikes.

I’m baaaaaccccckkkkkkk!!!! I know, I’m like herpes: You think you can get rid of me and just when you think I’m gone, TADAAA!!!! I show back up.   Okay, so I actually finished my undergrad a couple weeks ago. Conferral happens within the next month and I’m already getting things in motion to start on [...]

Shameless Plug For a Friend

A friend of mine from back in Kansas City has finally created a blog with recipes. However, it’s more than just that. She shares her food experiments. She keeps it pretty entertaining as well. She has a youngin’ who she also creates meals for so that the little tyke gets proper meals and still pretty [...]

Memorial Day

If you pay attention to the commercials, Memorial Day is about the sales. As a side note, it is due to these sales that I did not receive coupons in my paper this weekend. Seriously, that was the excuse by the subscription service line. Apparently people clip coupons and rush on over to the grocery [...]

Eyes on Japan

It was just around this time last week that I started thinking about the Cherry Blossom Festival and how it isn’t that far away.  In the past few years I have made it a habit to surround myself with tourists and take in the beauty of the blossoms.  Btw, I thank you tourists who visit [...]

Perspective

Wow, January flew by without a posting.  Sorry folks. I’m still busy with classes.  End of June and this blog should pick back up again with more frequent postings… and I’ll be able to visit my favorite reads as well. At this time of year we have things going on.  Some are dealing with work [...]

The End of November Already?

Okay, so it’s been a little while since my last posting. In my defense, I’ve been taking classes full-time and a half, and I’m about to pick up a double load in December. Am I crazy? Well, is the sky blue? I have been asked to write about the rally that took place on 30 [...]

It’s National Coming Out Day

Just over 14 years ago, I realized that I was not into boys like my friends were and that I was a bit different.  My first thought when I came to realize this was, “oh shit”.  I had seen how gay classmates were treated, and I did not want be alienated by those who I [...]

Yep, I’m Still Alive

My postings have been pretty much non-existent in the past few months and I feel horrible about it since I used to post on a daily basis.  Between working a 9-5, going to school full-time, and doing some volunteer work… yes, I had to add that to my already full plate… I have been pretty [...]

Happy Memorial Day

Today isn’t just about having the day off or backyard barbeques. Today isn’t about sales at the local home improvement store or discounts at the local car dealership. Today is a day to take pause so that we can remember and thank the men and women of the armed forces who have put their lives [...]

Thank You

My thanks to the 16 members of the Armed Services Committee who voted for the repeal of DADT.  A special thanks for Sen. Collins for going against the current and being the only Republican in the committee to do so.  The House of Reps also voted to repeal this policy and it will now move [...]

Eyes On Haiti

This isn’t a very long posting tonight, but I just wanted to share that my thoughts are on the millions of earthquake victims in Haiti as well as their friends and relatives living abroad hoping that their loved ones are okay.  I know times are tough here in the States, but we are very fortunate [...]
