By JANE E. BRODY NY TIMES Published: January 9, 2012
At 17, I wrote a speech titled, “When You Come to the End of Your Days, Will You Be Able to Write Your Own Epitaph?” It reflected the approach to life I adopted after my mother’s untimely death from cancer at age 49. I chose to live each day as if it could be my last — but with a watchful eye on the future in case it...

I hate the word SWAG...
…like somehow someone who says they have it thinks they have their shit together. its usually the opposite. Swag is what makes guys think they can go cheat on their girls. Swag is what makes girls think they can get any guy. People have to hustle to keep their swag by buying fresh clothes, new kicks, fly gear, etc..and unless their dealing, in the game, or sponging off the ‘rents;...

WHEN I met Joe, he told me he was trying to decide where to live. At the time, he lived in — well, that was hard to say.
He was from New Hampshire, but after stints in various United States cities, he had moved to Paris, where he had been based for 10 years.
But “based” was a loose term. There had been six months in...

New Year, new me?
I have high hopes for 2012. More so than 2011. Its amazing how life changes and how, “years” act as a marker for what is or is not accomplished in life for people. I’d like to feel I’m above that, but that would be a lie. I can clearly identify my years with “ups” and “downs.” A lot of times life changing events will define that year and forever...

I love taking naps.
denifed-nu:
Christmas shopping almost complete! I’m not young enough to ask for anything I can’t get myself, and I’m not religious to care about who was born when. But I do like getting something for the nieces and nephews because I remember how much I looked forward to X’mas when I was that age.
Raise Taxes on Rich to Reward True Job Creators →

By Nick Hanauer Bloomberg, Nov 30, 2011
It is a tenet of American economic beliefs, and an article of faith for Republicans that is seldom contested by Democrats: If taxes are raised on the rich, job creation will stop.
Trouble is, sometimes the things that we know to be true are dead wrong. For the larger part of human history, for example, people were sure that the sun...

1112pm:
I use this for writing, for rough drafts upon drafts to final copies and documentation, for private posts of reminders, for all of my emotions felt in-the-moment. I am not the type to dial somebody’s phone in incomprehensible hiccups and tears, I am not the type to depend, to lean, to dig for the…

Random thought today:
I really enjoy the unexpected human encounters, non-confrontational of course. Not the regular interactions we have with people we’re accustomed to, like coworkers, or customers we serve, or family and friends. Not the coffee break banter about work, or the water cooler talk of last night’s game. That all falls into our normal routine. I suppose anything that...

Both are convinced that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together. Beautiful is such a certainty, but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
Since they’d never met before, they’re sure that nothing was happening between them. What of streets, stairways and corridors where they could have passed…
Birthdays
A tidal wave of emotions
This week that has passed
Celebration and remembrance
Of life moving too fast.
Someone I’ve lost,
Someone still new,
Someone whose gray,
And someone true blue.

Regarding UC Davis Pepper Spray Incident
This is my letter to the UC President and UC Regents. I encourage all students and alumni to respond to the recent protest at UC Davis.

To President Yudof and the Regents of University of California, I am appalled at the recent actions of the Davis campus police during the peaceful protests on the UC Davis campus. Regardless of my feelings on the...

Life changes in ways that are neither good or bad. While you may think you are losing something of value, you are more likely gaining something which you will learn to value even more.
Just random commentary
What do you do when you see a friend of your ex? Do you try not to acknowledge their existence and go along your merry way? Do you casually say “hi” and walk on by? Or do you stop and say “Hi, how’s it going? What are you up to these days? Hows so-and-so?”
Such an opportunity presented itself to me last Friday. I had just finished a hearty bowl of Pho, opting for the...

SHORTLY after I turned 21, a boy handed me a poem. It was folded and folded until the words were concentrated and tucked away, handwritten black letters turned and flipped inside a small square.
We had been on a plane from Burlington, Vt., to Newark, seated a few rows away from each other. I had noticed him before we boarded: the...
