Perplexing lack of Compassion

This is what I have for Michael Vick. You know… I really want to feel for the guy but I just don’t. I listened to his “apology” and heard approximately ten, clearly scripted and memorized phrases. He just kept saying them, verbatim, over and over again; sprinkled within his “um‘s“and “I‘m not a public speaker; [...]

Over-Extensions: It’s not just a Hair Thang

Man. I totally over-extended myself this past week. I’m exhausted and brain-dead. All cells are firing but the caffeine fueled thoughts are causing some electrical hou high. (That’s Hong Kong slang for intoxication.) I can’t find my keys. This is always the first indicator of losing my mind.
First of all, as you saw in the [...]

Birthday Embarrassments

Oldest turned 11 today. He’s been asking for one thing and one thing only for his birthday. No matter how much I prepared him that it, “Just ain’t gonna happen.” he was disappointed, nonetheless.

The boys are in the other room, bouncing on the floor, and yelling, “Run! Run! Run!”
Oldest is upset because they aren’t playing L. [...]

Go, Go Slow, Boom!

I could swear his eyes rolled back and stared right at me, as if to say,
“Biotch! Get [...]

The Believers

Last night I was all excited because there was a movie I haven’t seen in forever showing on the LOGO channel. I remember how this movie scared me when it first came out and how I hadn’t been able to watch it for some time. “The Believers” stars Martin Sheen and is about some voodoo, [...]

Guest Blogger Mojo

Mojo has been quite persistent about jumping up into my chair and getting his little paws all over my laptop. I told him I would help him out and be his typist/interpretter ’cause, really, he can’t read or write but he certainly has some strong opinions. (And I shall take advantage of this by interjecting [...]
