at the end of the day, Oct 2007
As you start to encounter more people, it gets harder to watch everything you say or do, easier to give the wrong impression, and wrong information travels faster than anything else. You can’t talk to every single person, you can’t … Continue reading
me past self, on the past, oct 08
From time to time I like to think about the past. How it tells a story, and how it becomes a part of who we are. And perhaps more important than what happened is perspective; how we look at it … Continue reading

the lackadaisical feeling is a good thing, Feb 2010
I can most certainly identify with that. It’s the state of being unsettled, the realization that what you have and who you are is based on unstable premises that might eventually give way. It’s a lonely and uncomfortable place to … Continue reading
personal profile for powerofpop.com, 2008
I’m a very loud, extroverted person who enjoys good company, conversation and style. I’m full of energy, love to face life head-on, and believe that rules are guidelines meant to be challenged. While I’m a big-picture person, I also tend … Continue reading
people- nov 6, 2010
You know what’s strange and interesting? To observe a person who had once let you in, but now shuts you out. Don’t we all do it? It’s such a complex, subtle and nuanced process. I suppose we shouldn’t trouble ourselves … Continue reading
