Do Something

Like a fat cat, I sat. I sat wondering. Wishing. Wishing I knew what to do. In the undertone of my breath, I mumbled, “do something with passion but don’t waste your time”.

Hoy Es Viernes

My high school Spanish class teacher deemed Fridays as a day to emphasize school spirit. The class would celebrate with “Hoy Es Viernes!” (It’s Friday!) and do football cheers.

Verbal Clones

I could be part of the problem. One of my all time favorite quotes is by Maya Angelou: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” I subscribe to that ideal but lately, not so much. I’ve been consumed by cynicism (sarcasm’s evil twin). In a meeting today
