  Tap Tap Tap… The Message Is On The Wall

  09.25.08 | Permalink | 11 Comments

  Consumed in my own thoughts 
  as music blared from the headphones 
  stuck in my ears, 
  I break out of my trance 
  for a moment and look down.

  that is attached to these feet 
  I see hair, lots of hair.

  Most of you know by now that I am what you would call a Morning Person. I appreciate the title and own up to all that it stands for.
  Like most mornings I jump out of bed with ease. This morning I woke up on the couch.
  I arrived home late last night (or should I say [...]

  In such a digital world, we have so little time to just reflect on our hopes and dreams before our peaceful thoughts are interrupted by the blaring of someone’s inane ring tone or someone doing the two-step to their favorite club jam brought to you by iPod, iTunes, Zune and all of the others [...]

  Back into the swing of the dating pool, feeling more confident about having attracted more people, getting more looks on the subway ride to work (aside from the homeless men looking at me as if I’m a Human ATM Machine), I decide to diversify my assets. . . see what it’s like to date more [...]

  Happy Birthday, Bob Marley (nee Robert Nesta Marley)
  I’m not a fan of Reggae music but I can appreciate the impact that Bob Marley has had on the world.
