I did this tarot reading for Wookie last Friday. I had to give a demonstrative speech for my Com 101 class and the only thing I could think to demonstrate was a Tarot reading. Wookie was gracious enough to be my guinea pig... not that it was much of an experiment seeing as I've been doing this for 10 years now. However, I thought I would post the reading up here.. who knows... maybe in a year I'll be able to finally look at a complete reading and see where I was right and where I was wrong. Y...

I wrote this about a week or two ago now and I meant to post it a while ago. I'm posting it now and then I plan on posting again about the stuff I'm going through with my family. But, this is something I wrote and I thought it was worth sharing, so there you go. --- How to become a corporate shill in three easy steps I don't know exactly when I sold my soul to corporate America. I'm sure it happened in stages, that there isn't any one single quantifiable event that massively marked my t...

One of life's little random quirks - the human need for communication. It always feels like there is this overwhelming compulsion to constantly talk or express ourselves in some way. Blogs are one of the ways that we satisfy that urge. It seems like I always have this constant dialouge in my head.

Other times it's far more reflective, i.e. when I ...

This is quite conceivably the dorkiest thing I'm ever going to say about anything, but I'm going to say it. This is a journal of my journey as a human being - both the milestones and the pitfalls. I've been thinking a lot about some of the things that I've gone through recently and I have to admit that I'm quite proud of myself at this stage. I'm a reasonably decent person. I'm friendly, generally happy, perky and caring. I'm just me, and that's all I can be. I'm not a beauty by any standard ...

I know, I know. I just posted, but this didn't fit with what else I was going to say. I did an awful awful thing last night. I killed a possum with my car while driving home from buying groceries. It's never happened before. I've always tried to be very careful and respectful of the animals that live near the road, so in 6 years of driving I've never had a mishap, although a few close calls. I smooshed the poor thing with my little Geo. I feel so guilty. Don't worry, I'm not going to n...
