Unpacking BaggageJust going through my luggage, clearing out some things to make way for enlightenment Thursday, May 04, 2006Back from the DeadI'm back! First, I'd like to apologize for falling off the face of the earth and thank you all for phone calls and emails expressing concern. Hiding out was terribly selfish of me and I promise to work on the ways in which I respond to trauma. What had happened was... I got called into personnel and was told that things weren't working out and that I should clear out my office immediately. Right away I went into a panic and shut down. All I could see was debt, hopelessness, homelessness and despair and while those things are still very real, I am no longer unemployed. I just accepted a public relations gig in DC. This means I will be moving closer to the city. How cool is that? This is also my 100th post! I can't believe it. And next week I will be turning the new 30, which used to be the old 40. If that's confusing, it's meant to be. Anyway, Happy Birthday to ME!!! I'll holla. Diversity Awareness There was a black man, a white man, and a native American man, and a Latino man. All four of them were on top of a cliff discussing the difficulties that their people had gone through. The native American said, "my people have suffered the most, and in honor of what they have endured, I will fling myself off this cliff in hopes that my blood will change things" So he yelled out real loud "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE", and jumped off the cliff, the latino not wanting to be outdone, quickly looked at the other two and followed suit yelling "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE" and jumped off the cliff as well. The black man was touched by this and decided it was his turn, so he yelled "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE" and pushed the white man off the cliff! |
