In all our lives we face challenges. The Challenge of rejection, betrayal, and broken promises. Going from a time when you think you’re in control to a time that you are out of control is tough. You believe that logic and your own will power will get you through, but what if it can’t? [...]

It’s hard to label yourself as part of the “Me Generation” but yeah.. I’m one of ‘em and now a magazine that usually writes about successful billion dollar corporations is writing about us. On their recent issue of Fortune Magazine, front page is the article “Attracting the twentysomething worker.” The article goes into some depth [...]

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with [...]

As some of us gather at the theaters tonight to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (for a whopping 168 minutes!) without a break, I’d like to bring up some slight humor about the movie and actual digital piracy.

It never really started with one person, but one could claim that the bashing all started when McCain was running against Bush in the 2000 elections. Who knew that seven years [...]

This is my 70th post.. Since this is my original blog, I feel more are on their way. This doesn’t stack up to the 87 posts I made on my Japan blog, but soon I’ll make the 100 mark where I’m planning a special post.
Today I want to reflect on my meeting with my career [...]

So today starts my 9am-3pm new hours M-F. While it takes away from my vacation, I will get a boost in pay. I’m just happy to have summer hours or a summer job for that fact! As before I still got my weekends!
Something else I’m looking forward to is a meeting with a career councilor.. [...]

The North Korea problem is one that is so complex that annalists can’t figure out if it’s the bombs that are the main problem or the actors. Going from being just an “issue” to a full-fledged problem long ago, North Korea has become a pleasant catastrophe that remains, shockingly, diplomatically debated among the [...]
