it is all in the attitude

“Maintain a positive attitude, so you can grow. And, with this life, you may help others.” The above quote is advice I might give to a friend in need of something uplifting to help during a time of tribulation, when things just seem to not be going in the person’s way. Yes, I realize it’s [...]

The good, the bad, and the wtf

Wow, another week is gone, and another round of random thoughts have been added to fritter around in my fricasseed brain. I’d blog more about them, but they tend to pop in at random intervals, so we just have to wait for “poppage”. Good news of the week: a mystery has been solved! Awhile ago, [...]

Letter to a friend

This is a note to a dear friend I once had, and one of whom I treasure. We parted some time ago, through circumstances beyond control. It took awhile, before I felt I could move on (so I knew I must’ve fell hard), and now I feel I can talk about it again slowly, without [...]

Tin Woman

—Warning: slight vent in entry— It appears I have no heart. For no lack of trying, I can not do anything right, I’m too lazy, too ugly and will never have a man or anything else. Or so I’m told. Arrgh, how I hate self-pity (so much so it makes me want to hit myself [...]

Marvin worked for ABC [...]

R.I.P. Richard Jeni…

Well, it’s happened again…I woke up this morning, turned on the t.v. and heard the bad news…another comedian bites the proverbial dust. This time, it’s Richard Jeni, an apparent victim of suicide. The why is to be determined with an autopsy, but some early reports claim he’d just found out something about his health recently. [...]

Gone Googling…

“Hello out there…“ I utter these words as a type my moniker into The Google (as U.S. President Bush calls it). First stop, I find a lovely painting, entitled “The Pearlady” by Artist Sandra Smith –> See it here. Although I’m not sure when the artist snuck in to paint it, it’s very pretty. It’s [...]
