About Me

SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Inspiration

What is it that inspires us? What is that thing that brings forth the better angels of our nature? Is it a song? A story we heard long ago as children?  Or is it the everyday things, those little...

Life...

Life is never quite what you think it will be.  It never turns out the way you want and it never seems to play favorites.  Life is an unbiased.  People come, people go, people die, and ...

As I sit here...

As I sit here at work, pondering what on earth my hair-do is all about, I find myself starting to look around.  I find I fear that what I am doing is not what I'm meant to do, but then a fri...
