Two Disasters in One Lifetime

I've been through one. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through. The uncertainty and loss coupled with human �suffering and the exploitive national media left a sour taste and a cynical eye. My personal Katrina, and the collective stories of all who lived through it, is enough drama,…

Home where I belong

I have spent my whole life trying to understand. I have spent countless hours meditating on where I fit in. I never had the basics, the emotional basics. From the very beginning of my life I wasn't wanted, by either of my parents. They were both emotionally distant, my mother…

I had to stop reading comments on NOLA.com because the level of competency gets lower with each comment.

Family and the safety net

What is family? I've never been sure because although I grew up in one, it was mostly a lie. There were so many secrets and half-truths, what I grew up thinking was real was just a story, and not the sweet bed-time kind. There is no happily ever after, just…

From Grass to Cheese

I read about this dairy farm in Ohio about a family farm and what they were doing to make good food. It really touched me in a way I can't describe. I've never met the Nolan family, they don't know me from Adam, but the world needs to know that…

Having a Choice

I know I haven't posted in a while, give me a break, it's Mardi Gras!In the days since New Years, I have learned of a health condition that has brought understanding, and so much more pain (physical) than I have ever imagine existed. I have learned that I have severe…

He is guilty of the worst kind of race baiting. Where is the conspiracy? African americans are tired of being screwed by the African-Americans they elect i.e. Jonathon Bolar, Derrick Sheppard, Bill Jefferson, Ray Nagin, do I have to go on?

The Funeral and its aftermath

The last 5 days have been some of the hardest, emotionally wrenching of my entire life. I am completely exhausted, enough that I didn't go to work this morning. Yesterday's funeral was one of the most well attended, touching and over-the-top events I have ever attended. Fitting, as the person…

Death Be Not Proud

Another death has occurred in my family. Another completely unexpected life taken away. Susan's mother passed away in her sleep Christmas night. Not only the shock of an untimely death but the timing could not have been more... untimely. Sorrow now fills my house as family members weep and remember.…

Trials and Drunks

I work for a living, there are a lot of us out there doing that very thing. I'm particularly fortunate that I LOVE what I do. I cook therefore I am happy. Unfortunately, when things in the kitchen are not running smoothly, it makes my life miserable. Not just at…

Its my birthday

I've never really understood the birthday celebration ritual. It's the day you were born. That is it. Maybe because my birthday falls so close to the Thanksgiving holiday and was an afterthought most of my childhood. I didn't have my first birthday party until I was 30. The circumstances surrounding…

Being Broken

I went to church for the first time in a very long time. A Baptist church, which I hadn't been to in an even longer time. The pastor, David something or other (an interesting and very in-tune speaker/pastor), communicates in an above average manner (wow! that sounds so critical) but…

Failure

Easy to achieve yet hard to overcome, failure has been a constant companion. Cursed with a poor upbringing and below average parenting, I have tried since I was freed from childhood to rebuild a foundation to start my adulthood. It's been a lifelong process. Being in the food industry makes…

Depression Sucks

I have lived through the best of times and suffered through the worst. I have a history that includes physical, sexual and psychological abuse. Depression and all the symptomatic side shows included have plagued me since before I was a teen-ager. I learned to cope through behavioral modification, self taught…

I think one has to look beyond the "cost" of things and look to the future. Since when was the government supposed to make money any how? The fact that the project is being funded by tax dollars and would benefit taxpayers should weigh in heaviest. I think a high…

Tattoo You

I have been pondering my affinity for tattoos. It's a love affair, actually. I'm not sure when it started, but since the age of 19 or 20 I wanted a tattoo, something significant and meaningful. I waited, and I'm glad I did. I got my first one at 40, to…

Dem Boys

I really like music. It's a part of how I got through the horrors of my childhood. When Elton John sang, "Don't let the Sun Go Down On Me" I realized I wasn't alone. It didn't matter that The lyrics to the song had nothing to do with what I…

Death

Death is never good. It can be a relief for the person who died, but those left behind really suffer. It's such a jarring experience even when you expect it, but unexpected deaths are particularly difficult. A friend recently died unexpectedly, leaving a group of people so unexpectedly, that even…

Jury Duty civic duties are not for the faint of heart

The President's Speech (and the idiots on the Northshore)

The President of the United States has requested to give a speech to the country's children. He wants to encourage them in their schoolwork (presumably) in the coming school year. There is a huge backlash among middle-class white people about bringing politics into education, saying that it is inappropriate for…
