Black Paperclips and Desert Roses
1. One way or another, I find my lunch sponsored by the good people of Central & South America. I salute them, because they keep my hunger in check and my wallet happy. Of course the cuisine is second to none during the allotted hour of peace that punctuates the work day.
2. I haven't worn a watch in years, between my cell phone and an iPod, the time has always been readily available. For reasons I have yet to locate, I decided it was time to begin wearing one again in January of this year. I've been haphazardly going about selecting a piece since then without making a decision. The decision making process has recently ended. It's quite the timepiece, if I may say so myself. Next time I see you, I'll tell you all about it.
3. Make sure that when you destroy an alliance, that which you are dismissing is accounted for in the party you're siding with. As a matter of fact, make sure that which you're dismissing and more is present in the party you side with - Yv. St. LeFleur
4. The truth you make public about a person is actually the perception you have of them. Make sure the image you present the public is an accurate assessment of the totality of the party being discussed (usually in said party's absence).
5. I really could use a few extra hours in the day, and by a few I mean 12.
6. In any relationship you have, whether it be business or personal, make sure that your actions reflect a genuine respect for all that is invested in the relationship. When you act in any other manner, you insult the investors.
7. If I could suspend two reading list to work on my third reading list, I'd be a happy(er) scholar. So instead, I keep my coffee black and water by the gallon at my side.
8. I've a trip coming up soon to one of the coolest cities in the country and while I have 3 separate lists of sights to see, it would be remarkably helpful if I narrowed those down to one list. It would also be wise if I checked the weather least I find myself in the cold with a thin sweater. No bueno senor, no bueno.
9. Who needs new socks?! This writer does! Ok, maybe not need but definitely want and will soon acquire.
10. I'm taking a Post Colonial Literature course currently and aside from drowning in PoCo theory (nerd life), I'm furthering my understanding of the post-colonial reality through the text we're examining. We've already completed Half of a Yellow Sun, God Dies By the Nile, & the biopic film Lumumba. I'm continually amazed by the stories (horrors) that arent' discussed in the American context.
11. The fall of empire will appear to it's loyal subjects as the result of a series of ill informed actions. The circle of advisers will note that the empire fell because of continued disregard for principles that maintained the structure. My forecasts, while most unfortunate, remains remarkably accurate. As an adviser, I am disappointed in this revelation but decisions are often made with no regard my words. I merely relay a spectators perspective.
12. You lobbied for a place at the table, wore down the chair of the committee, and even received an invite to several key events. Then you no-showed & grew silent, like you were suddenly at a loss for words. <<< that is all kinds of waq & so are you.
