“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

Respect your haters. They are the ones who think you are better than them. -Unknown

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Sacked out at 7pm!

1 January, 2005 /

This was the second year in a row I was sick for new years. I was ‘recovering’ from Christmas and the other crap that made me sick this week.

Things that DIDN’T happen this new years celebration.

1. I didn’t drink so much that I pass out before midnight.

2. Justin and Rachel didn’t have a drinking game that was based soley on who took a drink of soda or went to the bathroom thus ending in SOMEONE throwing up Kettle One and passing out on the bathroom floor.

3. I didn’t get to see ‘Cita. It was the first time in years we weren’t together.

4. I wasn’t kissed at midnight. It’s a stupid tradition anyway.

5. I didn’t make some stupid resolution I am going to break.

As for the other shit. Yeah, I took care of it. I gave myself 6 months to be where I want to be. If I am not there at least I will be strong enough make a change.
The ‘strong enough’ part is what I have to work on. It’s so much easier to just stay where I am than to make that change.

Welcome to day one.
