irony 2 months ago

that job i was reluctant to take….? yeah, i got the ax on tuesday. it’s so ironic that i was the one worried about karma points if i had been offered the job for that one last interview i went on. so, now i’m unemployed and going to a temp gig on monday (better than nothin’). wish me luck, send me good vibes, pray for me, whatever. i need all the positive energy i can get comin’ my way.

totally doable, and yet somehow didn't happen 4 months ago

it must be some sort of subconscious thing. i swear every time i make a weight loss goal of some sort, it ends up totally sabotaged. i don’t know what i’m going to do, but something’s gotta happen. i guess i’ll figure something out…


properly grieve my brother's death (read all 5 entries…)
honoring rob 5 months ago

In honor of my brother and in recognition of World PD (Parkinson’s Disease) Day, I have changed my avatar to the Dr. James Parkinson tulip.

“On 11 April 2005, the Red Tulip was launched as the Worldwide Symbol of Parkinson’s Disease at the 9th Conference in Luxembourg.

The story of the Parkinson tulip began in 1980 in the Netherlands when J.W.S. Van der Wereld, a Dutch horticulturalist who had PD, gave the name “Dr. James Parkinson” to the red and white tulip he had developed.

In 1981 he registered his prize cultivar, the ‘Dr James Parkinson’ bulb. The name was chosen to honor Dr. James Parkinson, the English doctor who described the condition in his 1817 “Essay On The Shaking Palsy” and to honour the International Year of the Disabled.”

I think I will also make it a point to plant as many tulips as I can so as to always be remembered of my brother. Our birthdays are in April and tulips also happen to be my favorite flower, so I think it’s a win-win-win.
