Earth Hour
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...

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...

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...
Read MoreWow (brief post)
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...

Drifting can loosen your anchor; that you may never be able to cast again So, it’s been about five months since I’ve been out of work and I remember that initially I was really gung-ho about finding my next career opportunity. I spent every waking hour touching up my resume, having people (friends and former co-workers) review my resume and applying for jobs that I wanted to be in. I thought to myself that I was going to bounce back on my feet and set sail again. I’m confident that for 2-months straight I was on this mission. I’m still on this mission. I...

It’s amazing what happens when you turn around and look in a different direction. I REMEMBER: Waking up one day, years ago, and recalling a great amount of memories from a time past. On this day, my thoughts came to me as cascading moments of my childhood and thinking of missed opportunities. I was recalling the early mornings and late nights being bundled in my Mother’s purple coat as we waited at the bus stops trying to either get home or to go some place, while we were living in Seattle, WA (my birthplace). Seattle usually had a nice, thick fog in the early mornings and it...

Truth is a balancing act. It requires you to walk a fine line between Exaggeration and Lies. I’ve thought a while about the situation I’m currently in and have decided to put down once and for all what the truth is for me regarding my unemployment. First of all, I am appreciative of the opportunities and experiences I had in my former position. I worked for a company that, on the surface seemed OK, but in reality was lacking in a lot of areas. I had been with this company going on 4 years. Prior to being in the brand management department, I had been in an analyst role. ...

To "run without condition" is a metaphor for doing all that I can, with all that I have; to be boundless. It's my acceptance of an unconditional spirit and thriving to move beyond the constraints of myself.
