Words, that is. Words have a way about them. Words are simply the vehicle of one person’s intention to another person’s reception. But sometimes that vehicle gets a little turned around, goes through a hail storm and by the time it reaches the other person the vehicle has become unrecognizable and has lost the Intentions [...]

My other half Ryan has decided to start his own wordpress blog. Yay! You can find him here: http://temporalaccounts.wordpress.com. I have also added him to my blogroll on the right. I am so proud of him and I can’t wait to see the intriguing things he says. Who knows, maybe this will help me understand [...]

It was history in the making today. Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States. I couldn’t be more thrilled!

This afternoon, as a coworker and I were rapidly rushing back to our desks to finish cleaning out our inboxes before the 5:00 hour, I noticed the sunlight shining through the office windows. I stopped in my tracks, closed my eyes and smiled as I breathed in the outside glow. My coworker wasn’t sure what do to at [...]
Hard Work

It really gets to me that my Dad has not had more economic success in his life. I feel like the ratio of his hard work to his success is so far from balanced that I can’t help but feel angry. Growing up I always said I wanted to make a lot of money – [...]
The Morning Rush

Breath is once again visible to the naked eye. Our cheeks are flush and our noses burn, but we stubborn Chicagoans wouldn’t dare bring out a scarf and hat this early in the year. Instead we wrap our exposed fingers tightly around our store bought coffees, willing the warmth to travel into our fingers and through [...]
Violence – Part 7: Love and Forgiveness
Posted in Me, People on October 29, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I’ve never understood violence, but I’m beginning to feel like this all may be a part of the lessons I am supposed to learn in this lifetime. I must learn to forgive, I must learn to love, I must learn to have faith that everything happens for a reason. I am fully capable of forgiving those around [...]
Violence – Part 6: Resolving to Hate

I immediately ran to his side crying, wanting to hug him but too afraid I might hurt him; wanting to look at him but too afraid of what more I might see. He put one arm around me and said, “it’s okay Mi’ja,” as he called my sister to join us, “I’m going to be [...]
Violence – Part 5: The Day That Changed It All
Posted in Me, People on October 24, 2008 | 5 Comments »
It was a Sunday and my sister and I were driving on our way to my Dad’s apartment. We saw him every Sunday since we were 2 years old and he usually came and picked us up but on that morning he called my sister and asked her if she could drive us there because [...]
Violence – Part 4: Fights
Posted in Me, People on October 1, 2008 | 3 Comments »
My experiences with violence are fairly limited, and therefore, very distinct in my mind. I can recall most if not all of my personal experience that involved violence. On only one occassion I was the recipient of a violent attack. It was violent in nature, but it was not very “violent.” It happened when I [...]
