Looking for the right path...

“To talk much and arrive nowhere is the same as climbing a tree to catch a fish”

-Chinese Proverb

Someone very dear in my life is going through a spiritual journey, but he needs to be careful of alienating his loved ones in the process. As many are saying right now: he needs to "walk the walk and not just talk the talk." My prayers are with him that he finds his way.

The Paperwork Mountain

Well, I did get some rest this holiday weekend. Read a little...watched a mini Star Trek Enterprise marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel (I was too lazy to get out my DVD's, LOL) and saw the beginning of The Andromeda Strain mini-series. Also saw Indy Jones 4 at the movie theater with my mom (which was really cool, BTW). Then...I got back to work and saw my desk. Aaaaack. Must look around for a shovel (or machete) to clear a path. Wish me luck!

Memorial Day Weekend

During this time, I'm not only going to enjoy a long weekend (Monday is a day off, yay), but also remember people in my family. Both those individuals still here and those who have passed on, in the spirit of respect for those who have represented our country. My late grandfather, V, served in World War II and my uncle, D, and my father-in-law, P, were in the Air Force.

I salute everyone for their efforts and send a special prayer out to all the U.S. troops still fighting this awful war in the Middle East. God Bless you and may you all come safely home to your loved ones.

Girl Power!

Forgot to add on my last post that 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi just won the title of Dancing with the Stars champion! (But I do have to say that her gold medal is a lot prettier than the blindingly shiny silver disco ball trophy from the show).

Kristi rules! (and so do figure skaters...)

Awesome-O!

Our land line phone is fixed! YAY (and a quick nod to South Park in the post title...).

'Nuff said.

A Moment of Tranquility

"One step at a time is good walking."

-Chinese Proverb

Obviously, things are a little calmer today, thank goodness. And thanks for the prayers, SongKat. We appreciate them so much.

Welcome to the Weekend

Not a whole lot of plans for Saturday and Sunday. Just going out to a "lunner" (lunch & dinner combo) with G, K, S, and of course C for Mother's Day tomorrow. Besides that, just will probably hang out with my iPod and doing some fun writing. And get some SLEEP!!

Crazy Drivers

Here's a great George Carlin quote I found that sums up my thought for the day:

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

People constantly try to go 80 MPH behind me during my commute to and from work (on a 55 MPH highway, I might add). Do they really need to get to K-Mart 20 seconds faster? It makes you wonder...

Happy Friday everyone and may you have a safe commute home.

A Dollar and a Dream

This was the title of a recent episode of one of our favorite TV shows "Without a Trace." It dealt with a lottery winner and the reaction of her friends to the new money. But there was a twist in the story and showed how desperation and greed factored in.

So, I guess my question is, does money like that really change people from being basically decent to someone we don't even recognize? It may seem like a simple question now--we all would most likely say that money wouldn't change us. But can we really say that for sure? There might have been a grain of truth in this fictional--but insightful--story. What do you think? Agree or Disagree with this train of thought?
