Listening to life requires infinite desire and infinite patience. Given time, every song has a story to tell. Here are mine. Tell me yours?
Memories, news, reviews. Old and new.
Wish. Listen.

Week 1: New World Order
Day 2: It's a Brand New Day....
Current track:Brand New Day from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog -- Joss Whedon
What is it about New Year's resolutions that have people up in arms, dropping "weapons of mass destruction" on the previous year? I have always found it more than a little amusing that so many people spew so much venom, only to turn around and declare that the New Year will be "so much better." Does anyone else see the irony, here?
I rarely make New Year's Resolutions...more like, New Year's "I'll Give It a Shots," or New Year's "We'll See What Happens-es." I have no delusions about actually being resolute, because I prefer flexibility and humor to failure. Last year, I started making a least one silly resolution. Things that seem silly at first can do beautiful things for one's life. In fact, I could argue that overcoming any obstacle requires a person to get over themselves, and their feelings of silliness, insecurity, awkwardness, etc. Last year, I chose "Cultivate the Absurd" as my non-resolution. I think it went well, especially in my classroom. I'm still not sure what silly/crazy goal to attack, this year. World domination might be a good place to start (see below).
