I have a deep love of books & as a self-described English geek I take pride in my love of much classic literature. I remember vividly the first time I read Shakespeare’s plays & the first time I fell under the spell of Scarlett O’Hara & her beloved Tara. I was 10 maybe 11 years old [...]
A couple months ago I wrote my first ever album review for Shadow Gallery’s “Digital Ghosts”. It is an album I truly enjoy listening to & it seems I discover something new every time I listen. Going to see SG in concert would be a great thing…too bad they don’t perform live. Well […]
Continue Reading → Empathy: em·pa·thy Pronunciation: \?em-p?-th?\ Function: noun Etymology: Greek empatheia, literally, passion, from empath?s emotional, from em- + pathos feelings, emotion — more at pathos Date: 1850With all the emotions that have churned up lately I’ve been on a less than even keel.

Continue Reading → Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is interference. Specifically how we interfere in the lives of those around us. There are all kinds of reasons & excuses given for this: they asked for advice, I’ve been there, I care about what happens to the other person etc. Many times these are legitimate reasons […]

During college I wrote a lot of what was most likely terrible poetry. I stopped writing for years and have only started writing […]
Continue Reading → Well I’ve had the new website for nearly a week. I did manage to narrow my theme choices down to three…well 2 but one may be too “masculine” for me. I’m still looking at my options. The one theme that I’m using right now I like the look of but do not like the colors. […]
Continue Reading → Friday was the day…I went ahead & purchased my own domain & hosting package. As of 11 o’clock yesterday morning I became the proud owner of http://nil17.com. Excitement rushed through me as I made the commitment to see where this blog thing will take me. Then I left the office to get my hair done. […]
Continue Reading → Not a literal move but a virtual move. I’m thinking about taking the blog to a new site. I haven’t made any final decisions as of yet. I’m weighing my options & consulting with some people who have their own blogs. I’m thinking of the move so that I have more flexibility with my design […]
Continue Reading → I have been struggling with the 25 things meme that has been racing around the internet lately. At first it was that I couldn’t think of 25, then that nothing I could think of was interesting. However the more I’ve thought about it the more attractive the idea became. Why?
