well thanks, James, for passing it along…. here i go:
True love doesn’t have a happy ending;
true love doesn’t have an ending.
spent all of my life emptied of anthems, bracing for something that never did come
...The first star I see, may not be a star.
And the time, such clumsy time, deciding if it’s time..
You can lose yourself in your courage.
Excuse me, are you lost? Perhaps you would care to visit the site map

well thanks, James, for passing it along…. here i go:
happy 4th birthday to Katrina. you’re sweet and adorable and pretty, and always a little lady… even when playing monkey-in-the-middle, with the exclamations of a four-year-old girl. ;)
strange for me to reminisce your even younger days and realize i’ve known you all their life—i thought only grownups think like that. ...oh, hmm..
happy birthday.
Alberto passed me this op-ed piece from the New York Times, by David Brooks: All Cultures Are Not Created Equal.
This really is a controversial subject. It’s along the same thread as “all men are not created equal”, isn’t it?
This is a long-standing subject of interest to me.
I do not believe all men are created equal. I do believe all men should be treated with reasonable consideration, respect, and open minds. ‘Reasonable’ is a very relative term, though, both upon the one doing the reasoning and the one being reasoned.
today/yesterday’re poignant days. it’s both days really, not just the one. it’s good-poignant. i don’t want to talk about it yet. i just want to smile for a while.

List of things to do gets longer and longer.. even when if keeping p — and especially when not.
how do the next months play out? with hope, anticipation, attention, and adaptability.

Teaching, designing, stuff clearing, grocery shopping, house selling, trip planning, email writing, working, reading, writing, sleeping, eating, hugging, thinking, and all the other *ings
afterthought: Dad would remind me that breathing should clearly be up there on that list..

dear Wawson, you’re out there staking out new territory yet again, and i hope your birthday is just start of a beautiful year for you. here’s to happy memories from C-town days, and looking forward to happy memories (in the grand country of Asia?) to come. *huggles!*
cheers and best wishes for your 18th year, and the stress, smiles, and mixed memories guaranteed.
I finished Catcher in the Rye the other day… third time I’ve tried to read it. I know it popularly makes me a lacking person somehow, but I just really found the book uninteresting for myself. I mean… I can see what the general appeal must have been to land it as such a remarkable, notable, classroom-essential, teenage-student’s-favorite book.. but… well, maybe timing didn’t work out properly for me to read it and better identify with it.. “well clearly you’ve never been a typical American teenager.” well, .. maybe. or maybe Holden Caulfield just isn’t anything more than what he is to me. Does it matter if I don’t like him?
I liked his little sister.
For that matter, I don’t like Harry Potter or Clark Kent much either. might all of those not be so different?
But I love that this book (and character) means so, so much to so many people. I love that.
