My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • We got up early the next morning to make our way to the ruins of Petra before the heat fully set in. However, being flexible with time is something to be learned when traveling in this part of the world. So, when our tour guide finally arrived, it was already warming up! On the positive side, the tour was in English! You have the option of riding horses from the entrance at the…

  • Sometimes I feel lost in this crazy world. I wonder if I’m the one who is going crazy or if just nearly everyone else is that way…? Philosophical topics have been going through my mind of late: – Why do I really have a mental block about going home this summer? *Maybe because it represents a life I no longer have nor want. I love my family to pieces, but we lead different…

  • When I sum up all that makes me happy – The color purple Korean food Teddy bears White roses A beautiful novel Hope in humanity Unity among men Shared joy and laughter My family My true friends My love – The sun shines a little brighter The air feels a little warmer And I smile a lot wider. -T ~June 6, 2010

  • It’s nearly 1am and I’m still up… The weekend is sadly coming to an end and my 8-hours + naps and 11-hours sleeping sessions this weekend has caused me to forget normal hours, like the fact I must be awake in about 5 hours to mark essays and teach classes… <sigh> Why must the real world get in the way?? 😀 The weekends are definitely the best part of my life right now.…

  • Today I got my second migraine in a month. While this is not really a very big deal, I do not usually get them twice in the same month – rather once a month if at all. Stress has been building up over a number of issues that I’ve been ignoring or avoiding having to deal with either for months or weeks or whatever. It is a re-occurrence that I get burnt out…

  • Why is it funny to joke – “You’re adopted” Is my life funny to others? Is my lack of known heritage a joke? Is my lack of identity with any country or culture something to laugh about? Go ahead laugh it up Go ahead enjoy your position of power Go ahead try to forget the truth staring you in the face I’ll smile along I’ll hide the pain your joke causes I’ll pretend…

  • While I was using my blog changes as a way of distraction from being as productive as I should be, it’s now down to crunch time and so I will have to put the blog updating on hold for a bit longer. Still, I will try writing here and there as it’s the best outlet for my crazed brain. Work to be done: – conference proposal (done today) – restaurant reviews (2 finished,…

  • Well, I think I’m nearly done moving all the content over to this new site. Just the laborious task of moving the photos over…. The hope is that all the separate blogs/links (blogger, tumblr, etc.) that were connected to my site will now be housed here since I can now easily post while traveling or otherwise away from my MacBook. While I love my MacBook dearly, I also want it to last as…

  • They say laughter makes a healthy heart. For me, being with you is just the start. Not only do you make me laugh, But you really are like my other half. Where I am lacking You are abundant Where I am weak You are strong Time spent with you is never dull. You make every part of me full. I love you – both parts and whole. All this to say – You…

  • My page is undergoing some major adjustments and will be back – new and improved – soon… I hope! Stay tuned!!! -T
