In Parentheses
Well, after a social networking hiatus, I’m back on Facebook for who knows long again. I had given it up (along with Myspace) early this fall after I started to feel that I just didn’t truly, personally know all 500 of my “friends.” And so I’m back (from outer space, you might say,) at least on Facebook, because one day I was bored. Really that’s it. Living on your own in a new city over a year has its perks, but it also has its drawbacks. Having a hard time meeting new people and missing your old friends is surely one of them.

A Broader Scope
A friend of mine in Washington (the state, not the District,) Toni, sent me her morning horoscope over email. I received it when I returned to my computer after a workout in my apartment’s tiny gym in the basement. I don’t typically believe in the validity of astrology, but I love Toni, and in the short time while we both lived in Cleveland, her friendship meant a great deal to me and she taught me a little something about openness and trust.

Appreciation is the Word
And, yet, that was the point at which I started to feel odd and somewhat ashamed of my youth and impatience. Not my age, mind you, or my maturity level which I feel is pretty on-par for being 4 years out of a 6-year college plan. It’s just that I looked around.

Loving on the Sadies
Since moving to Cleveland, I've taken a renewed interest in finding awesome music I haven't heard before. I've paid attention to more than just the radio. I've looked into local performers. I've asked friends, acquaintances, and people on the street who they are listening to. And some of the answers (like, “The voices,” for instance) were a little creepy. But for the most part my quest has led me to some worthwhile discoveries, including the Sadies. Read more and add a comment
Open and Shut [Universal]Us

“So this is how guys [in relationships] talk when their [significant other] isn’t around,” I mused. And then there was some guffawing and maybe general agreement. I couldn’t tell, because I was deep in thought, lost in the tangled reflection that is gender role, behavior, and stereotype. Read more and add a comment
