What I need for my apartment

I think the best part of eating ice cream is the first 2, maybe 3 bites.  Its during these bites that you can really taste the flavor of the ice cream because your tongue hasn’t had time to freeze yet.  Its true. Next time you eat ice cream, see if the first couple of bites [...]

80’s pop: Black or White

I think this might be where all the Michael Jackson/Macaulay Culkin drama started.  This is my fav MJ song, and when the video came out it was really cool, it pioneered this type of video imagery, and won a lot of MTV awards.

80’s pop: Pretty in Pink

I have found out recently that many more people like the music from the 80’s than I realized. Although not my favorite era musically, there were some great bands and good music that emerged…some of which is salvageable. This morning on my drive to work, I heard this song and yet again, in came a [...]

Sweeter Song

If our hopes are being disappointed just now, it means
that they are being purified. There is nothing noble the
human mind has ever hoped for or dreamed of that will
not be fulfilled. One of the greatest strains in life is the
strain of waiting for God. “because thou hast kept the
word of my patience.” [...]

Chivalry..dying or still around?

Today after work, I stopped at a gas station. As I was walking in, there was a man coming up on my right side, but I was clearly going to reach the door before he was. He all but runs in order to get there first so that he could get the door [...]

Don’t change a thing…for me

The year:  1982
The band: INXS
The album: Shabooh Shoobah
The drummer:  The reason puberty was bliss for me…I thought he (along with Adam Ant) was amazing.
The tragedy: Lead singer, Michael Hutchence took his life in 1997 by hanging himself.  He was only 38 years old.  What a waste, in so many ways..but especially for the rock and [...]

Wanted: GRACE

Last year, a kid threatened a teacher (at the school I work for) by telling him he was going to get a gun and shoot him.  The kid got suspended for the remainder of the school year.  He failed the 7th grade because of this.
This year, we were kinda glad that his family moved to [...]
