To the Crazy One…

October 5, 2011

This and This feels like all there needs to be said tonight.

My plans of polishing off my 500 words on personal statements this evening, posting it with my new determinations, and celebrating a job well done with a Pumpking ran headlong into reality of life happening tonight. My coffeeshop/bar is out of the Southern Tier seasonal and midway into my edit my phone alights with news of the passing of Steve Jobs.

I feel posting anything else but something on Steve is not appropriate tonight— especially not my lowly thoughts about making a personal statement and standing proud in the face of your words.

I have a few of things in my life that I am working on right now that I schedule diligently… and setting aside time and space to write here was not one of them. So if I’m not making time for it, then it is’t important right?

A thousand words is worth more than one picture

June 17, 2011

I realize that I am adding to the noise here. I realize that I am ranting. I certify that this is the absolute last subject on which I thought I would open the gateway to my blog. But after ruminating for the last few weeks, there is one statement – one theme – in the ____gate-du-jour madness, that I have not read or heard as of yet and it just… must… needs… saying…
