Leadership

"If your actions inspire others to do more, to learn more, to dream more or to become more, you are a leader." 

-John Quincy Adams

A Simple Outfit

Kay Kay: The Girl from Guangzhou

"My parents are very kind people. I am at the center of their circle. Materially they were not well off. But what  they've given me spiritually has no end. They gave me the power to run! They made me feel like I had a whole mountain behind me...pushing me to run. And I feel I wanted to run because of them."

I feel you Kay Kay.

ghet·to [get-oh]

It perturbs me when this word is used as an adjective.

Definition: Often Disparaging and Offensive. noting something that is considered to be unrefined, low-class, cheap, or inferior: Her furniture is so ghetto!

Its usage in that context is unproductive. "Ghetto" people are not inferior to us. We're better than this.

Musical Therapy

Just a list of songs that I've been playing frequently. I found many of them after choosing Sea Wolf as my radio station on Pandora. I know I'll return to reference this list for a future purchase at some point.

Anonymity

If suddenly you feel the need,

To post your date of birth,

Your name or address, school or work,

Remember what it's worth:

The internet's a crazy place,

And though most on this site,

Are pretty awesome on the whole,

There's some not so alright.

You might annoy a cannibal,

Who steals your kids to roast.

I'm sure there's only one or two...

But think before you post.
