find somewhere i belong
Bottle of Red...Bottle of White.... 2 months ago

I belong on Loomis Street, in Chicago, Illinois. I belong on the big red front steps, where my dahlias will grow in pots, and I will look across the street at Arrigo Park. I belong on the same block as the baker who gives me a cannolli and knows my name. I belong where I can write my book, take long walks, and enjoy the seasons as they grow and change just as we do.

I belong where somebody wants to hold me hand, love me, and enjoy all of these things with me. This is simple, really.

Finish my PhD (read all 2 entries…)
No disrespect to anyone who has recently accomplished this... 2 months ago

but I’ve decided that I could care less. Maybe someday when I have nothing better to do I may return to this, but for right now, I’m ready to go live for awhile again.

finish my thesis (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 months ago

Go travel. Read a book. Write something that will make people happy. Unless one plans to make a living from this it is a painful venture.
