For Gaza

I don’t really have the appropriate words for a post about Gaza. I guess am just amazed that some people actually think this is justice. I am not angered, or filled with hate, I am just really sad. Mostly because it’s been a humanitarian crisis for so long, and most of us just sit back and watch, because the definition of “terrorist” these days is clearly lost, because I feel helpless when I read about what their daily life has become and try to imagine how it would feel if my family were there.

Indeed none of us a free, unless all of us are

And as life cycles on

Last night I went to a book store. I love book stores, it’s one of my favorite places to be.

Today it was sunny. Cold still, but sunny. I bought new jeans. From Jacob, on sale, of course. Somehow those 2 things made me feel pretty happy.

I think last year may have sucked for a lot of us and sucked for others so much more than I could ever imagine.

Sometimes I get to the point where I cannot remain positive, and at those moments its hard for me to really communicate with anyone, I just don’t like to be someone that’s ungrateful for the wonderful things in my life.

But, bookstores, sunny days, and jeans apparently makes the world seem like a better place, for me at least

So, although things may be getting worse by the second, and we look on, feeling helpless, I wish you all bookstores, sunny days, and new pairs of jeans! Find some comfort in your favorite things, and please say a prayer for everyone who is suffering in our world.

Happy New Year?

So, it’s 2009. There are so many reasons not to be happy at this moment.

I may be taking a small blogging break, due to a revival of the great funk of 2008, sort of. I just can’t help but reflect upon the last year, which was the most difficult year of my life thus far, so much so that I don’t think there was a moment that I didn’t think “so what’s next?” I am just now getting used to my new reality, I guess.

Last night I saw Slumdog Millionaire, it was a very good movie. Worthy of all it’s acclaim. It was certainly not the everyday cheesy love story and I would totally recommend it.

Anyway, here are some calendars for January 2009 and I wish us all a good and peaceful (we can hope) 2009.

31 today

Yay me. Said in sarcastic deadpan. Is that even correct terminology?

I don’t know how I feel at this moment (which is actually 5:20pm on the 24th, and not 12am on the 25th, because, yes, I do just set that publish time, and no, I don’t sit here and wait until 12am to hit publish), mostly I feel exhausted when I think about the year I spent being 30. It’s an age I would never, NEVER, never want to repeat.

So, to those of you not celebrating my birthday today, happy whatever you’re celebrating this time of year! And have a fantastic day!

And to Organica… “paper towel!”
