I read a post yesterday written by a woman who is content as a single woman in her later years. She is an intelligent eloquent woman who was married once, but never found her other half. She is perfectly happy with her life, having casual relationships, and has maintained her vibrantly bold personality. As a girl/women in her […]
Gadgets, iPhones, and Toys Oh My!
It seems today is ablaze with information about the newest iPhone and its newest features and physical counterparts in the media world. Since I have owned the previous models and am carrying the current 3GS I felt it was only my duty to elaborate on what I think of all this gibberish. I worked for […]
Blame Shifters: Americans
There hasn’t been much on my mind over the past several weeks beside the oil spill and the law passed in Arizona. My heart went out when the flotilla was attacked, but nothing hits home like the events occurring at home. I just keep expecting to get on my computer, read the latest news and […]
Dear Boredom…
Dear Boredom, There is so much I want to say to you and yet I am at a loss as to why I have to say anything. I did not see much of you for months-in fact I may have called your name looking for you during the past year, but time wouldn’t allow it. There wasn’t space […]
New Laws Don’t Face The Real Problem
Tears fell down my face as I read that the Arizona law, SB 1070, had been signed into action by Gov. Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010. Although this law has been passed, we cannot afford to forget about it. SB 1070 makes it legal for Arizona law enforcement to ask anyone for their immigration […]
Do I look Illegal To You?
Today I attended and participated in a march protesting SB1070, the new law in Arizona that will make it a crime to be illegal/undocumented and will make it legal to ask a person to show proof of their citizenship based on the way they look. This was the first protest I have ever participated in […]
The End of Another Era
I have one exam left and my semester is completely over. Classes have ended, campus seems empty and I know that I will not see many of the seniors I met this year again for a long time-if ever. It is always encouraging to know that I have completed another semester at school, but this […]
The Man Under The Bridge
“When I lived in California I worked for a company cutting down trees. I had no choice because I needed to make money, but I quit as soon as I could. Trees carry the history of the world and have been here much longer than we have,” Jose Luiz Lopez-Sanchez said in Spanish. Now he […]
Arizona Is NO Longer A Part Of Free America
I have been keeping up on the bill that was brought up in Arizona against immigration. The man who proposed it was personally hurt by an immigrant who shot down his son. He said that this had nothing to do with him drafting the bill-but a measure so strongly opposed made me wonder. I didn’t […]
Help the hungry: Food donations low, but students can help
For most of us, at least one of the meals consumed within the past week has had leftovers on one edge of the plate. In America, it seems unimaginable that people are starving or in need of food, but it is a reality, and one that is hitting us on a local level. Even with […]
