Excited About Tomorrow
It’s silly I guess, but I’m excited about my new tattoo tomorrow. I usually keep my tattoo thoughts over on my IAM blog, but this is a little more philosophical than most, so I’m going to make an extra post here in addition to the obligatory pictures tomorrow. For some reason I have this feeling … Continue reading
Hard of Hearing Interpreter
Somebody asked me on Facebook about being a hard of hearing interpreter. I figured I should blog my response so I don’t have to type it out again next time somebody asks. The main challenge as a hard of hearing interpreter is that you can’t accept just any job. You have to be able to … Continue reading
Why Animals (40/49)
As I’ve been browsing the other blogs through the surfing frame, I’ve been noticing most charities are for human beneficiaries. Several people are blogging for animals, but most are for people. So I feel like I should justify why I picked an animal charity. It’s because animals are part of our lives. Not just our … Continue reading
Euphoria (21/49)
I’ve been meaning to write about euphoria for a while now. It’s my new life philosophy. I picked it up in mid 2007 when I broke out of the rat race by quitting my job and going back to school full time. Euphoria has kept me almost completely drama free for two years now. Life … Continue reading
Twitter Test
After some consideration, I am doing a trial run. Here are some choice bits from Twitter. Aw, watching Voyager and just heard the computer voice. Once again, RIP Majel Barrett. LOL at Montel Williams hawking painted coins of Barack Obama. I really need a better way to store yarn. Suggestions welcome. Holiday party got much … Continue reading
Planners
I suck at using planners. Day Timer, Day Runner, that sort of thing. Electronic ones too – Palm Pilots, Sidekicks, and Blackberrys all have organizer features. I always use these things for a couple of months and then quit. (Electronic ones rarely even last that long.) To make note of assignments, I email myself when … Continue reading
Irony vs. Fate
Sometimes people say my hearing loss is ironic. I have been involved in the deaf world for all these years, and now I have a hearing loss of my own. People love to comment about the irony of this, so much that I’m tired of hearing about it. Now I think of it in terms … Continue reading
Advocate Column
I’m surprised by how much Jasmyne Cannick’s article No Country for Black Men bothers me. I have been told to “get out of America” because of my opinions about the president and our government, but when Cannick says how much she dislikes America, I find myself wanting to tell her to get out. For some … Continue reading
Compassionate Release
The State of California is cruel. Susan Atkins has largely been a model prisoner since her incarceration for her involvement in the Manson Family murders. She has been noted as still displaying resistance to authority, and she has refused to participate in therapy a few times since 1969. But for the most part, she’s a … Continue reading
Blah Blah Diet Again
So I’m a member of a site called FatSecret.com, which is a funny name but they have good food/exercise tracking tools. It’s similar to SparkPeople (which I’ve used in the past) but has a better look to it IMHO. I have been hovering at 200 pounds for a long time. I wear size 14/16 on … Continue reading
