coffee thought...horoscope

November 28, 2011
I like this alot.

People who want everyone to be happy can never be good leaders -- they're too busy keeping everyone's needs satisfied. There will never be enough time in your life for planning and ambition if you are too concerned with communicating clearly with other people. Don't bother to ask for permission to do what you want right now -- you can ask for forgiveness later if you need to. You know what you are doing, and people are ready to follow your lead. Show them the way to go.

Got up this morning ready for my travels.
Loving the smoothness of the ride.
Next up Vegas baby!

Thanksgiving....

Thanksgiving

Giving thanks-

something that I feel I do often

therefore the actual day of thanksgiving

 is a formality of specialty foods and deserts.

Tradition says

we should have

 turkey

 stuffing

cranberry sauce

turnips & cheese

carrot cake

 apple pie

and many other fun filled desserts

 (most laced with liquor. heyyy)

 Family time

complete

with some family drama

and alcoholic spirits

 that turn the most liked aunt

into a raging lunatic.

 (or in my house)

the most liked me

into a raging lunatic

 (me)

Ahhh the good old days

Let the festivities begin.

Happy holidays!

coffee thought...

Or more like pre-coffee thought: it is the day before a holiday and I am tired as hell.
And why this bus have like 11 people on it and still people trying to sneak on back. You ain't invisible- holding up the traffic. Lord help me.
that's all...

coffee thought....

it is the end of the month I am trying to figure out how to keep coffee a coming & make sure my monthly indebtedness to the Student Loan deity is paid... this thought comes across my mind.
Stop Paying them... I mean what can they do?
Well, A whole heap of alot considering these loans that I will be paying back allof my natural born life cannot be discharged due to bankruptcy and will be with me as long as I have breath.
Some folk propose stop paying...
What say you?
that's all...

Coordinated

I found shoes to match my nails.
Now all I need is a place to go
 (and a lesson in walking like a girl ;)

coffee thought...

What is left of my homemade brownine

Ummm. My homemade brownies and cup of tea... Thoughts of the weekend ahead make me want to savor this Friday workday and pray for No to minimal drama.
That's all...

coffee thought

If you are inadequate then what would you like me (or anyone other than you) to do about that?
That happens to be your cross to bear so strap on and roll out.

that's all...

OWS

This as I leave work. They (the occupy wall street movement + that obnoxious drum) are walking on Broadway and effectively slowing traffic to a less than crawl. Nice. Hopefully they don't occupy my commute home otherwise I will have to occupy my foot in their... OK maybe I will occupy a stern glare.

random- new nails...

blue nails & snazzy ring

I must say this is the best manicure I have had in a long while--got it on monday w/ beks and has lasted just about all week..not bad not bad at all.

such is life as it is...

An Education

Everyone can teach but be careful what you educate.

coffee thought...

GOOD MORNING!

I am glas to be here with you on a Monday morning.

(awfully chipper, huh? blame that on the 6 am wake up for no reason and

 the attempt at excercise and

 the bowl of cherrios I had all before I left the home)

I am sure this hyperchipper self will cease in about ten good minutes.

 In the meantime, exjoy your day and think good thoughts...

speaking of thoughts... can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving again?

 Like food shopping has to go on and cooking said food I shopped for

 and then have to like make my home presentable

 AGAIN.

Sigh, I need an assistant and a housecleaner. 

that's all...

How responsible are you?11/10

How responsible are you?

Currently in the news there is A LOT going on about Penn State and the continued sexual abuse of children who were in their care by the assistant coach of the football team. The incident happened to no less than 8 boys starting some 20 years ago. There is no statue of limitations for shame just FYI. The long time head of the team (joe paterno) who had a lifetime contract as head coach of the football team was fired yesterday following allegations he failed to do ENOUGH as someone who was informed of the situation. As I write this blog the issues at hand are: he was told of some misconduct by his employee (who is said to have witnessed the act). At the time JoePa allegedly reports it to whom he is supposed to. The question at hand: is that enough? If there is a protocol in place for such atrocities and that was it [just reporting it to you superiors and the you are done] then OK maybe he has a case. I mean If I am supposed to do A B C and I do A B C then one would think my job is done, no? No?
Ok let's tackle the moral responsibility of this man. Morally if someone is doing something wrong or you get wind of it what is your role in it? Are you supporting this behavior by action or by non action? Did you not think your non action was support? Guess some people don't think of non action as support but I think sometimes it is the same thing.
My conclusions:
Here is /was a figurehead to this football tradition at Penn. He- as well as being a father and someone in a setting that was a leadership role- turned the team around and preached a doctrine of don't just do 100% always give 110%. He was someone who said you have a responsibility to your team as much as to yourself so make sure you honor that. Well what the hell man!!! Does this bit not apply to you. Is that for everyone else to follow and you jut say the words that sound nice to hear? I do not want to overshadow the atrocities done to these children by glossing over it- but today's argument is what is his role in this whole thing?
As an administrator there is a clear chain of command and clear things I am responsible to do.  When I chose this career I kind of almost didn't know what I was getting into..I mean you learn your "job" and then you learn the culture of the job and still you know what is right and wrong.There is also a moral obligation as a flipping human being to do right. Do right. Do what is right. Why is that so hard? I feel like John Quinones "what would you do?"

coffee thought...

no coffee today. I am taking a day off from coffee, work, thoughts and stuff.
that's all.

coffee thought... horoscope 11/7/11

Gemini Horoscope for November 07, 2011
Hoping and wishing for something to happen in your life will not make it happen -- you have to put in the work required for the joy that you want. There are many friends who share your dreams, though -- so use today to find out what they think about the situation, and what they think is the best way to make things happen. Together you can all decide what the right approach will be (and who needs to make it). To keep that hope alive, you need to get a group consensus on how to do it.


.........yeah.here goes nothing...

June 9 12:50 am

Be that as it may
Many of the facts remains
You are not who you claimed to be.
Judge me not for the content of my character
nor my actions toward you
because they were all based in the lies you told.
Those lies you told were the lies you sold my soul for
-same as a cheap bottle of wine and a promise of better times.
You told me you loved my voice
and wanted to build with me by choice
but little did I know
London bridges are falling down
crumbling
like the promise happiness
Security
Safety
Love. (Shit)
So I loved amidst this cruel fated world
and
Intriguing infatuation of intimacies imagined envelope my everyday existence of reality
I kept my head up in hopes I can one day soar with the clouds
high enough from the bullshit of commute, cash and cause.
I sang loud with praise for the Lord to hear my prayers and grant me a stay of sanity.
Stay with sanity 
I walked with purpose each day waiting for
The reason I have to defend you
My choices stay with me- haunting.
You are my worst critic
And I your biggest follower.

ummm yum!



Welcome to National Donut Day (as observed by my job).

I was so kind as to go to one of my favorite places in the Universe (yes, if i traveled the universe I am sure this would be one of my favorite places) Dunkin Donuts to procure a dozen donuts for the office & a large coffee for the day. Yes, I was being nice <-- a large french vanilla coffee produces said results.

looking forward to the day ahead *(and the chocolate donut)

that's all...

coffee thought...

just some thoughts today as I drink the java...

Some of them

Wonder why I don't smile

I keep my cheer to myself

Lest you try to steal my joy.

I move swiftly thru my job
Searching for my vocation
Wondering if I am making a difference
Hoping for a change

I keep on believing
Keep on dreaming
Keep on moving
Keep on doing

Don't ever hope for something different
If you are not willing to do the work

that's all...
