October Ramblings of the Mildly Insane Archives

I’m Going To Vote On Sunday!!

As I’ve said many times before, this is my first time voting. There are some things that I’m now realizing that you never take notice of before you’re a registered voter:
*You receive a whole lot more junk mail when you’re a registered voter
*You have to vote for more than one person
*The information can be overwhelming
Since [...]

Starting Your Mornings Off Right

It’s only every so often that I realize how important mornings are. The are the significators of a fresh start. A new beginning. Yesterday is now the past and tomorrow is now the future.
This morning was a lovely morning. I positioned my bed specifically so I’d be able to reach over and open up [...]

Island of the Blue Dolphins

That was the first book I’d ever had read to me. I was in the third grade and every Thursday afternoon Mrs. Dale’s class (my class) went over to Mrs. Wesson’s classroom for story hour.
My parents never read to me - no one read to me when I was a child. I learned to [...]

Racism

I knew eventually I would have a post on this topic. I just overheard someone use the term “nigger” and it made me cringe - apparently racism still exists (on all sides of the color spectrum). Everyone has their own beliefs, but frankly, I have no idea why people don’t like other people based solely [...]

Pure Milk Chocolate

One from waaaaay back in the day, found it in one of my old journals…and contrary to what some may believe, I really was writing about chocolate
Pure Milk Chocolate
The sensations of pure rich chocolate,
A touch of the sensually smooth and creamy texture of milk
Carefully blended together to create,
Without imperfections,
That which we call pure [...]

My sites are starting to look like crap

I’ve come to the haunting conclusion that I spend so much time working on other people’s websites (which I love doing) that I’ve neglected my own websites (i.e. this blog).

My first presidential debate

Well, this is the first year that I get to vote. I’m excited - but it’s bittersweet. Although I’m not originally from America, I was raised here since I was three and consider myself to be quite patriotic - I am very much looking forward to voting (and hope more “young” people will also). But [...]
