I have decided to take part in Earth Hour 2009.  At 8:30pm, EST, I will be shutting off my lights in my room (share a house with others and I don’t believe they are participating) to show my support for this moment.  It also may be a good time to turn other things off and contemplate for this hour about how life is and how I want it to be.  To re-focus on myself and to continue with my commitment of forward momentum and a positive outlook.  I am just about all moved out of my place and have a few things to continue on, before I am done.  I am still surprised how life is and how it...

The Audacity of Significance

 What Lies Within Our surroundings are like a cloud. Grey and hazy. It’s where we hide. It’s where we lie. Walls govern this inner world that we often close off from the outside world.  But in our hidden sanctums, we possess a desire to attain and gain to fill in the emptiness of our surroundings. In this perpetual accumulation, we enter ourselves on to a path of self importance. Even when we say that what we have or what we want is for our own need, often times we can not wait to go and show it to others, or to someone. To prove that we have risen and triumphed. To be...

Packing

Accepting reality and storing it A while ago I was offered the option to move in with another person.  It was months ago, actually before the first of the year, and I tried like hell not to have to go with this option.  Not due to anything about who made the offer, but I think it’s just about the issue of pride.  My pride, that is.  That being the case, I have accepted the reality of my circumstances which is preventing me from living where I am at any longer.  So, with that being said, I committed (my previous day’s post about re-committing) today to packing up some of my...

Breaking down; breaking out I was feeling a bit overwhelmed today (or maybe underwhelmed) and couldn’t figure out what to do.  I’ve become tired of staying in my room and I couldn’t think of anyone to call.  Mostly everyone I know is in Florida, with exception of a few choice friends in other states, but I didn’t want to call and burden them with anything on my mind.  It’s equally hard to do this when you know others are in your same boat.  I decided to pack up my laptop, a book and my ipod.  Now, to end the suspense early, I didn’t use my laptop or...

An interesting development I’ve been looking at my blog stats lately and I am noticing a continuous increase in the number of people that are visiting my site, either directly or via referral links from other sites.  Today I just hit the highest number of blog views of 52 and yet, the day is not over.  I know most people would look at that and go, “so”, but for me it is quite exciting.  I suppose you could say it’s even been a little bit addictive, knowing that people are interested in reading what I am posting.  I’ve noticed that a lot of referrals have...
