It’s sad that in a country that boasts so much leniency and freedoms, the likes of which should make foreign countries green with envy, how unaccomodating we are in real life. Conceptually, we say that we are democratic, diplomatic and bureaucratic. We love to tell everyone we know that thanks to events such as the [...]

July 30, 2006What We Say vs. What We Mean
July 30, 2006I use euphemisms all the time. If I make a major mistake or am unsuccessful at doing something I yell at the top of my lungs, “FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!” This phrase replaces any expletives I had in mind and opts for the G-rated version. For me, it works because I find myself more and more [...]

Bayonne Car Stuck,
originally uploaded by Mema13.
This gives new meaning to the term: “Water under the bridge.” And it was among two other pics I took when I stepped off of the lightrail yesterday and saw this…The only good thing was that it didn’t consist of sewer water or anything, so it wasn’t really clean water, [...]
“Courage and Faith, Miss Honeychurch. Courage and Faith.”
July 20, 2006I don’t always know what I’m talking about. I talk out of my ass sometimes. These words escape my lips and then I’ll reconsider and wonder why I even said what I said. Have you ever lost your train of thought while in the middle of a sentence? I do it often. Like right now [...]

July 13, 2006Sometimes, when you’re rummaging through your old drawers and memory boxes, you come across the stupidest things that are on the one hand are completely ridiculous, but on the other, they’re so much fun. Being the Queen of nostalgia, I seldom like to throw little notes and gems like the example you see to my [...]
The Strangest Dream:
July 13, 2006Okay, do you wanna know the strangest dream I had? A while ago, I was doing this experimental Freudian thing where I would jot down a dream I’d just had using a scratch-pad beside my bed. Freud believed that dreams were best captured when they were the most vivid so the idea was to desribe [...]

Ok, kiddies, it’s time to open your books to page 101, because everyone could use a little insight these days when it comes to the “T” word.
