I got this in my daily dilbert today:
To me, this is a fabulous summary of why kids are the way they are these days. I’m not going to get into a rant about parenting skills. I just don’t have the energy and I’m in too good a mood. But I will say again what I’ve always said that those kids who tore up Columbine high school might not have done it if an adult, a parent, would have taken some time to know their child. Its a cliche, I know, but guns aren’t the problem.

I had a great conversation IM conversation this morning on a topic that seems to be all around me these days. I thought I’d share because my friend put it in such good words and was able to sum up exactly what I’ve been trying to verbalize:
If it’s one thing I’ve realized lately is everything is about perspective. At any time I can choose to feel however I want to feel regardless of external circumstances. If the perspective is right a person can be at peace regardless of what’s happening…whether there are cars buzzing around, or people yelling in our ears we can still choose to remain at peace with ourselves.
Kinda cheezy I know but once I’ve realized that, things don’t seem to get to me anymore as much as they used too. I can choose to live how I want by choosing how I view my life and what’s happening around me.

so much in my head and I just can’t get it out. my fingers just can’t keep up with the speed at which my mind is running.
those eyes. they just look through me.
and him, i’m more attracted to him than ever.
i feel sexy. and girly. its ok, you see, to be a tough girl who’s pretty too.
i really feel as if my feet haven’t touched the ground since it started. the lead weight, the ball and chain, that has been locked to my sexuality – my sensuality – has been removed. the shackels are off.
how did i get that lead weight anyway? where did it come from?
i’ve been dancing. and shopping. shit, i danced while i shopped!
i’ve been smiling and daydreaming.
life’s short. so i’m gonna live life like there’s no tomorrow.
those eyes. those fucking eyes.
