Greetings me hearties! The weekend started well for ya? Hungover? Happy from a lil morning tumble [ye who speak British English know what I mean]? Today it's the usual rambling to help me get back into the groove of blogging. I took an extended sabbatical to make some paper & now things have finally slowed down enough to for me to pick up this lil hobby of mine again. Alrighty then ... Umm

Back to regularly scheduled programming. Blogging regularly should also resume shortly... And if you don't reach for the moon you can't fall on the stars  So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last

Aaah the last post of the year. These tend to be epic year end reviews but we'll deviate ever so slightly. I was recently asked why I was out. Now to say I was rendered speechless by the question would be the understatement of the year. I was truly thrown for a loop. While the question did not come out of left field it certainly was in the vicinity of left of center. I contemplated not

Today the geeks celebrate a perfect binary day. By some fluke I happened to glance over at the clock this morning and it read 11:10 so ofcourse you know I waited for it to read 11/11/11 11:11:11. Happy Veterans day to my peeps who have / are serving in the armed forces. Now to the topic at hand. I am experiencing mid fall blues and can't seem to shake them.

Salut! I've been super busy with conferences and the great job search. Being back in the Chi after all the time away has been a jolt to my system. I miss my niece like crazy. I speak to her daily but it's not the same as being with her. Being on regular people time has been an adjustment after spending months observing vampire hours. Anyway I've been uber reflective these past few weeks and

These past few months have been an eye opener of sorts and I've come to realize that I've been holding myself back. Both in the sense that I'm my own stumbling block as well as in the sense that I don't allow myself to do or experience things fully. A year or so ago I decided that I would work towards living my life with no regrets. Not that I would do everything that I wanted, but that I

An acquaintance of mine has been participating in some extra curricular activities with someone she shouldn't be. At this point it's an open secret-- facebook don't lie [Miss Cleo voice]-- but her girl doesn't know or chooses to ignore, I'm not sure which. Now a few nights ago I got a text asking me if I could say we had hung out on such n such a day if her girl asked to which I replied I

So I was at the library minding my own business ... as all god stories start ... As I've been away from the Chi for the last couple of months, I've had to join a new library in order to keep up with my reading. Last week I stopped by to pick up my books and decided to peruse the new books shelf to see if there was anything that I was interested in reading. As I was reaching for something on

I am going to blame my absences on my brutal work schedule and leave it at that. Going from self employed to being on someone else's payroll = giving up some freedoms. Soooo how are the women looking out there? Where I am all I gotta say is dear Lord forgive me for I have sinned and unfortunately will continue to at the going rate. Yes there is a platter of eye candy which you would think at my

Hey folks, How are y'all doing this fine week? Happy, tired, hungry ... [insert mood here]? After a rollercoaster week I must say I find myself fairly relaxed today. Had time to do some car maintenance ... you know I'm not afraid of a little grease ... as well as hang out with fam. I recently relocated from the Windy and have started my new job. Should be an interesting summer by the looks of

Greetings, salutations, the Lexus and the Olive Tree (business and pol sci folks should know the book). It has been a while since I've taken time to sit and write something. Call it laziness or a forced sabbatical. In the 2 months that I've been away, soo much has taken place that I'm not even sure I have fully absorbed the changes. I'm still quasi spoken for. The phrase it's complicated doesn't

That you don't get to choose them most of the time. They choose you and you are stuck with them for life. That hold true for everyone. What equally holds true is that we are able to build "families" of our own as we grow. These are the people who've supported us, who are kindred spirits and those who we know, if at 2am you need some advice about a break-up, they will not cuss you out proper. I

Sugarland takes me back to the days in sunny OH when I finally gave in and started listening to @1037cky or Buckeye Country as it was called back then. I love, love, love Jennifer Nettles' voice. If you love her voice you should check out her CD An Acoustic Evening with Jennifer Nettles II.

Happy Chinese New Year! Am back home after a lil jaunt across a few states and as luck would have it, I got back in time for the Chi blizzard. Lots and lots of snow == snow days, snow angels and snow fights. My inner child had way too much fun out there. Lots going on in the world no? Protests against governments abound, Cyclones in Australia, the murder of the LGBT actvist in Uganda,
