How is a woman like a hurricane?

This one's going down in the history books, or so they say. Hurricane Sandy or "Frankenstorm" as they attempted to nickname it will be making landfall sometime tonight. It will bring wind, rain, flooding, snow and even death to the Eastern seaboard. So far Sandy ravaged the Caribbean leaving millions of dollars worth of damage and a hefty body count. What will it do here?

Bed Time Slam

No time to wait for life to reach me. To find me in a dark corner of my happy state of confusion. My tongue burns with excitement. This time it will be me who is late to the party. No one will ever know what could have been just imagine me. Time for bed. Restless I lie awake and tell myself I am dead tired of this life. When will it all end and start a new. Clean slate erased with a damp rag. I'm here again waiting for my second time around. Who knows what any of these means. Translation please. I randomly tap on keys but no music do I make. Melodies sound like sobbing crying begging for a reason. Because I can and I will impose mine on me and do what I say. Never leave me alone with my thoughts again, because solitary is the wandering imagination of a singular being. Say good night to the bad guy who is good at heart but beats to the funky drummer that is reality. Alternative or otherwise. Until we meet again cruel fate like deja vu. So uptown baby is where I will be waiting for the N train that can never come again but I wait. I hear tracks and see lights but silently I stand with my eyes closed waiting for nothing or no one.


Good night.

While I Wait

Tonight is Hispanic Heritage Night at my daughter's school. They are going to have some sort of concert. I'm guessing it will involve badly rehearsed Mexican dance numbers performed by student's and their cousins. I really don't mind going but I find myself fighting to stay awake, and so is my wife (or so I  thought) I see her pass my office on her way to the bedroom. I figured she would be going to sleep. She knows I don't want to go, but is determined to stay awake and drag me to this event.

Meat Room Manifest

Lately at work I have seen myself becoming some sort of a philosopher on leadership. I've always been one to believe that a generals work is in the trenches with his men. I'm finding out that I can get more people to follow my lead by working side by side with them. As I stand at I my post I find my
self preaching almost philosophizing about my ideas on effective leadership.

Who's the boss?

For many weeks now I have intended to write a new blog. I would get on the computer and stare at the screen. I could not find a single shred of inspiration. Usually hardship and drama fuel my posts. Recently I haven't endured anything significant enough to gripe about. In recent times the blessings have outweighed the tribulations. My career path has shifted and launched me into what I've been preparing 9 years for, even if I didn't know it back then.

Survival of the fittest?

I love watching wilderness survival shows. You know the ones where they make fire with sticks, hunt rabbits, and eat insects. Such as Man vs Wild, and Dual survival. These guys are awesome. I love watching it, because in my mind I'm learning how to do what they do. Of course watching a professional is not as easy as doing it in real time.

Temple Tour

Today we drove around Montgomery and Prince George's county Maryland taking pictures of various temples. It's amazing how diverse the religious community is in this area. We focused on temples that were architecturally appealing.

This what we found.
