The best way to get over a breakup
The New York Times published an article about the best way to get over a breakup saying that writing and journaling is a healthy, productive tool. Obviously, writing has been my tool, but in the public sphere of writing it is hard to really call out the one you are breaking up with on their behavior. You have to be sensitive to a public viewing. On the other hand, you also have your own portrayal…

Superstition and the Torah
While Tin was at Sunday school yesterday, I attended a pop-up university lecture at the synagogue on superstition and the Torah. Gathered with mostly elderly Jewish couples, I listened to the academic yoking together of superstition, religiosity, and Judaism and had to chuckle as most in the audience talked about how Judaism, religion, worshipping, and putting on teffilin are all strangely superstitious and irrational, so what’s the point?

Darrin came over Friday night and turned the house once again into a home made barbershop. He took Tin’s hole in his afro and styled it into a beautiful fade. Now he’s so darn cute I have to stop looking at him all the time.

It was like this
The saying April showers brings May flowers must have an equivalent in December excess brings January depress. I’m not trying to bring you down, but okay if you go there with me.

As broke as we all were, we forged a beautiful meal and ate it together and still felt a…

Clarity is the new Black
You know that book BLINK that told us to trust the first reaction we have to events, people and places? Well, I try to use that practice in most everything I do these days, but I still find myself sometimes on the slow uptake. I try to overcome this bovine mentality by remembering that not everyone is bright, sharp, self-aware or enlightened all of the time, so don’t be so hard on yourself. Tin is…
