A Possible Explanation for Why I Like Rain (And Why You Should Too)

In the Spanish language, the verb for to rain is llover.

Llover is the word 'lover' with an extra 'L' tacked onto it.

So you see, there's a natural connection between love and rain, which is why I'm so happy about the weather right now.

The Monday After A Long Weekend

After a long and exciting Thanksgiving break, I'm attempting to settle back into the slower, more marathon-like pace of work life with some mellow tunes - specifically those of a band called Bad Books. Here's a few samples of their mellow-dies. Enjoy.

There are so many ways to communicate that we've all grown too lazy to put any effort into keeping in touch with one another. This makes me sad. I wish I grew up 30 years ago when it was harder to communicate, so people actually had to put in some effort.

A Lesson

Sometimes, things are not going to be okay.  
They're just going to change.

Don't despair, readers (you exist, I think). This doesn't mean that all is lost and doom is imminent. What I'm trying to convey is that sometimes, when we lose something (be it death, a breakup, a wallet, etc.), we think that the only way things will ever be okay again is if we can get the thing we lost back.  By accepting that things are going to change, they'll eventually return to being okay. Just a different okay than you had before.

It's Election Day

I have a lot to say about this election, but as it is so early, I can't really put my thoughts into coherent sentences. Also, I want to keep my political views off this blog, so all I will say is that I cannot even look at one of the candidates without feeling uncomfortable (that should make it easy...think of which guy has the smile of a sociopath...or serial killer). Therefore, I hope the other candidate wins.

Happy Election Day.

Time Flies When....You Lose Track of It

This year, my holiday mantra will be the same one that I've had the last three years:   Better luck next year, kid.
