How to deal
For a friend in distress:
The ocean between us teems with jettisoned dreams. As I reach out to you I see the shape of another in your eyes…
My thoughts during May, 2005
What to do??
The first time I remember coming across the word dilemma was back when we were doing Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Tom had a ‘moral dilemma’…
Silly Me!!!
Whoo boy!! I must be a really unreasonable person! How could I think to suggest that someone attempt to minimize the disruption they cause in class…
Music to my ears…
These were all in the last few days (gotta love this place):
4 amazing bands (BWIA Invaders, Phase II, Desperadoes, All Stars) all gathered in one place (All Stars panyard) just to jam and celebrate All Stars anniversary
Virtuoso solo pannists doing their recital for their degree (look where pan has reached…
Fascinating trivia…
Some weird stuff I found out about Trinidad this week:
Trinidad has some crazy venomous snakes (remember they have a South American fauna here)…
The good, the bad and the …
Wow!! One whole week out of touch! I was starting to feel like I was on some deserted island…
Long kiss goodbye
“Parting is such sweet sorrow”. Puhleeese!! Saying goodbye is always hard (unless there was never any good, in which case it is more of a ‘good riddance’)…
Simple pleasures
A really good first kiss
Turning on the radio just in time to hear the start of a great song
That “cozy spot” on your bed
Getting a hug from a child
Reading a good book from start to finish in one sitting

Catching a friend online because 4am your time is 12 noon their time (Love you Rana…
What do you want to be? (cont’d)
Here’s another one to inspire some more thought:
accept me for what I am
appreciate me as myself
i am not perfect
it doesn’t worry me
i have many failings
but i am unique
a one-of-a-kind me
and that is something to be proud of
i can change
let me do the changing though
for i will be responsible
for the mistakes i make
and the accomplishments i achieve
i want to be the way i am
that is my decision
and if you can’t see that
then don’t blind me
with what YOU THINK i should be
for i am me and nothing else
- Anne Bach
What do you want to be?
I am tired of trying
To figure out how to be,
What to say,
The right way to look
And act,
To make everyone
Satisfied with me.
I want to be
What I am
Before I can’t
Find myself anymore…
