A Different Perspective
This morning, I attended the church of one of my coworkers. I am taking my last two courses needed to complete my Educational Specialist degree, and one of them is Education in Culturally Diverse Environments. The first night of class, the professor explained that one of our assignments would be to attend a culturally diverse … Continue reading
Twitter: Wonderful Tool or Just Another Distractor?
I honestly don’t know when I first became aware of Twitter. I suppose at some point in the past months the sire began to creep into my consciousness, but I don’t recall when I first discovered it. I remember reading about on various sites. Los over at Ragamuffin Soul was using it, my friend David … Continue reading
Coming Soon to a Television Near You
What if I were a character on the Simpson’s? I think I would look a lot like this picture. But what if I were on South Park? I think I would look a lot like this: What do you think?

A Forum?
Sorry for not posting for almost a week. There are a couple of reasons for it. First of all, I spoke with someone from George Wallace, Jr.’s office last week, and I wanted to keep the post about George Wallace, Sr. and Corey at the top of the page. Also, I have continued to work … Continue reading
What a Crappy Day
I know, I know. “This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.” “Don’t let circumstances get you down… soar above them!” I have heard all the platitudes, and I know all the catchy bumper sticker slogans that encourage positive thinking, but the fact is, today pretty … Continue reading
