New England Transgender Pride March: Photos and Reflections
2008-06-08 17:13:00 The first-ever New England Transgender Pride March took place this weekend in Northampton, and I was there with my "Episcopal Church Welcomes You" rainbow tank top and a digital camera to capture the pageantry. I was hoping to blend into the MassEquality contingent, but they were scattered around other groups this time, so I just milled around looking like I knew what I was doing, and took lots of pictures. Next thing I knew, someone had handed me a bunch of purple and white balloons, and I was marching behind the lead banner, shouting "Trans Pride Now". Without either of my moms this time, I felt anxious that I didn't have the right to be there. Straight allies are important, but on the other hand, was I co-opting someone else's oppressed subculture? (I had a Native American Studies professor in college who was apoplectic about this.) The fact is, when you're genuinely weird, and view all human social categories as potential idols to be decons...

Reflections on Food History
2008-06-06 07:31:00 El had a great post the other day about her family food history and her mother’s perspective on her butchering the meat birds. It got me thinking about the fact that while so many of us are coming together online and talking about sustainability, local food, growing our own and raising meat, that we’re all ...

Reflections on 31 years in Real Estate
2008-06-06 02:16:00 I started selling real estate in 1977. Before fax machines, cell phones or office copiers. Our mls office had the tumbling litho with the great smelling purple ink. We took turns going to the mls office to pick up hot sheets and drop off new listing information sheets. The really good agents had polaroid pictures attached to their new listings. I am finishing my EPro course this week. This reminds of taking my real estate exam in Iowa before continuing education was mandated. We had the Yellow Iowa Primer, which you could read it (or not) and take the test. If you passed, you became a real estate agent. I didn't read it, I didn't pass. A week later I read it, took the test and passed. I am very gratefull for my career in real estate. I have learned to adjust and adapt to change. You cannot be in this business and expect things to remain constant. I have been through bad times, good times, slow times, wild crazy multiple offer times, high interes...

Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae. Swans usually mate for life, though 'divorce' does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure. The number of eggs in each clutch ranges from three to eight.The word "swan" is derived from Old English swan, akin to the German Schwan and Dutch zwaan, in turn derived from I...
PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Reflections and Musings #1
2008-05-29 08:07:00 Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - I had an entry lined up to address Bishop Tobias’ letter to the IC, but I think I’ll just maybe share my thoughts with you all tonight. There’s a short back story to this so bear with me please. I had been working on a “gift” that I’ve been meaning to give the CFC Home Office/Center for quite sometime now, but it was only recently that I figured out how to put it together properly and cohesively. If you read the response by the MMC in this entry, you’ll see that the home office has had some issues in communicating with its database of leaders and members because the person in charge joined the FFL. I encountered this verse during my search for a solution for that: He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. - I...

Celebrating Being a Successful Muslim Woman
2008-05-15 19:05:00 I’ve been promoted. It has proved to the outside world that Muslim women can be successful in the business world. That a man will be impressed with a women’s work who wears the hijab- that piece of cloth does not hinder her from using her brains. I can be a role model at home and outside. Those who think ...

Love - Reflections of a Daughter on Mothers Day
2008-05-09 08:14:00 Dear Friends, you must be knowing that Mothers Day is on Sunday. I’ll be going home this Mothers Day to be with my mom. I’m dying to see her. After the recent developments in my relationship with Rio, this will be the first time I’m going home. My mom is very supportive. I can discuss anything and everything with her. Sharing my troubled thoughts with her will definitely allay the conflicts in my mind to a great extent.Reflecting on the past, I remember I had a crush in high-school and like all those mushy heroines of romance novels, it was the basketball captain! However, I was not the heroine who bagged the guy in the end. My mom told me a lot of things which helped me get over him. Her comments were on the lines of how good I a person I was and how I’ll be kissing many frogs before Prince Charming shows up... That is always the way with my mom. She always makes me feel great and on top of this world. Moms have this ability to convince you that you are the best. That comin...
Parable of the Beach Ball
2008-05-09 00:43:00 When I was a boy, I practically lived in the pool during the summer. I loved to go to the pool and spend the entire afternoon swimming races against the other kids, diving for coins and playing endless games of Marco Polo. Some days, one of the kids would bring a beach ball along to ...
You Need Wings to Fly
2008-05-08 23:30:00 You need wings to fly. Just like you need dreams to live. Air to survive. Wings are our belief system that either keeps us flying or plunges us downwards. We are like birds with wings who wish to fly. But sometimes we feel paralyzed, our wings disabled, preventing us from lifting off to fulfill our destiny. Aren’t we ...

Reflections on a Sunday
2008-05-07 16:41:00 by Nathan McIntyreHey there folks...been a little bit. I know. Things have been hectic in the lives of your friends from the Porch, and honestly, as much as we enjoy writing to you family and friends come first. I come to you this evening very tired. Another long day at the office, coupled with providing a semblance of guidance for my raging man of a toddler gets exhausting, and while there's a lot on my mind, which I'll get to soon, I just thought I'd share something a little special with you.This past Sunday was a very good day.It was about 2:30 on Sunday afternoon. I was the only person in the house awake, as Nikki and Braedon had both chosen siesta over society. The porch was, as usual, shaded and cool with a slight breeze drifting across from right to left, west to east. I love my neighborhood, as folks aren't too far away, and yet there is a sense of solitude that tangibly rests on each doorstep.I chose such solitude this day.An occasional car would lazily drift by, leavin...
Reflections on UN Declaration of Human Rights
2008-05-07 12:12:00 This year, 2008, is specially notable because it is the sixtieth anniversary of the adoption and Proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization on December 10th., 1948. [ ... ] Even before the formation of the United Nations Organization, and the promulgation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in December 1948, the Institute of International Law, in its session held in New York on October 12th., 1929, adopted an International Declaration of the Rights of Man which is of particular interest today. The Declaration reads as follows:“The Institute of International Law, considering that the juridic conscience of the civilized world demands the recognition of the individual’s rights exempted from all infringement on the part of the State;That the Declaration of Rights inscribed in a great many constitutions and notably in the American and French constitutions of the end of the eighteenth century, e...

The Dark Side
2008-05-06 23:58:00 It’s a spider-eat-fly-world; that’s what the photograph above depicts. This photograph, which I took earlier this evening, pretty much sums up how I sometimes feel about the world. The horrific spider with its sharp claws enjoys its lunch, while the helpless fly, once free, flying high, faces the traumatic “mummification” event his ancestors did not ...

Review: Reflections
2008-05-06 11:01:00 Reflections by Rynne RainesWhat is an untamable rake to do after being cursed to suffer a fate unknown to man; to experience solitude in the deepest sense of the word? Watch and wait.As a silent observer in a world he is no longer part of, Rykel Deveau has entertained himself by becoming engrossed in the lives of the living. Society has changed in two hundred years—more importantly, women have changed.Now, over two centuries later, Rykel finds himself forced to share his living quarters with the most unusual female he has ever come across, sensual artist, Danica Lovel. Between the woman's hideous tattered bathrobe and unsightly pink slippers, he should be appalled, yet bizarrely, he finds himself strongly drawn to her. He wants her. The problem is, she has no idea he existsI think everyone’s got a little bit of the superstitious inside them. Black cats, Samhain, and of course, one of the most well known bits of superstition: breaking a mirror brings seven years bad luck. But in...
Love- Reflections of a Teacher
2008-05-05 09:30:00 The sudden jolt that I got from Rio has left me a little shattered. I was finding it hard to focus on my work. The same state continued in guitar class. Phillip noticed that I was distracted. He has the uncanny ability of reading a person’s mind. He stopped mid-way and put away his guitar. He was looking directly at me. I got flustered; I was sure it was my fault.He didn’t scold me. He just told me, “Go home. Take a rest. Think. People are of two types: some fit into square pegs, some into round pegs. Most people complain that they do not want what they get and do not get what they want. The key is to make the most of what you have in life, rather than pine for what you have not got.”Phillip’s words stayed with me. I’m really blessed to have a teacher like him. Really, what’s done cannot be undone and it’s better to move on… But it’s not that easy. I miss Rio a lot. If you too suffer from the same syndrome, click on this card and tell your partner how much you lo...

I believe in that hadith, where becoming believers would not add anything to God or His Kingdom, and becoming disbelievers would not take anything away. It ...

It was a community of about seven hundred and fifty people in 1775. Lexington had been founded in 1642, originally known as Cambridge Farms. In 1691, the town formed its own parish. In 1692, a meetinghouse was built. In 1693, Muzzy's Tavern (later Buchman's) was licensed as a public house. In 1698, Reverend John Hancock arrived would minister to Lexington until his death in ...
Passover and Politics: Reflections
2008-04-19 00:51:00 Hey, Passover starts tomorrow night - it's always been my favorite holiday.A fine feast, catchy songs, and a great storyline - what more can you ask for?The part I like best comes early in the seder. Why do we need to have a Passover ceremony - the answer is provided by a look at The Four Sons. The first son is highly intelligent - no need to have the story of Passover told for him, because he already understands it. The second son is evil - no point in telling the Passover story for him, because he deemed himself above all of this. The third is a little bit of a dim-wit - no need to have the story told to him either, because the meaning can be satisfactorily conveyed to his weak mind in just a few, simple sentences. But the fourth son - he who has not the capacity to even inquire - he is the reason that the Passover story must be told. It must be told, in other words, for those who, for whatever reason (perhaps because they are too young, or otherwise know nothing at all ...

Ancestry Matters ... The Ancestry of the House of Delano
2008-04-09 14:43:00 As time goes by the importance of knowing your genealogy or roots is becoming less important. The modern era had given full focus on technology and information and had forgotten looking back into our beginnings and history of our family. Personally, I will never forget the importance of holding down to my roots and knowing it for it had saved my life.I remember back in High School when I almost committed suicide because I am so depressed about the things that had happened in my life. I am an orphan who had no one to run to and then one day my grandfather sent me our family tree... the Family Tree of the House of Delano and I was surprised to discover who my ancestor was...I cannot even believe my eyes when I see it, it was Charlemagne or Charles the Great - The Holy Roman Emperor.

Complimentary Reflections
2008-04-07 06:48:00 I remember our walk kissing the sky...And the momentary halt to moisten the dry throat. Forever, I shall fall back on this,to keep myself afloat. I remember our walk stamping the earth...And the momentary comfortof allowing ourselves to rest.Forever, I shall envy the time,for its control and the test. I remember our walk under the sun?And the momentary anxiousness due to drying up of this special stream.Forever, I shall seek you,in my dream. I remember our walk by the sea?And the momentary pleasureof etching our names on the sand.Forever, I shall hate the wind,for its fatal hand. I shall remember this walk?And the momentary painto sit in my usual hole.Forever, I shall wait for an other chance,to play the same role.

Reflections on the 40th anniversary of King's assassination
2008-04-04 07:44:00 At a time when we were, ostensibly, trying to come together, it seemed the divisions had never been more pronounced. Each of us who lived through, and recalls, those times bears a certain number of wounds. The reaction to King's murder was rioting on a scale this country had never known. What started as a peaceful march for the rights of sanitation workers in Memphis became violence none could ignore.We must not forget. For the sake of our children, we dare not."We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." ~ Senator Barack Obamaread more | digg story
Coincidental or God's will?
2008-04-03 07:17:00 It was since last Saturday evening that I've been wondering about this and kept on hanging on my head regarding my question; I'm here in this world coincidental or God's will? Or is it happen to be a previous discussion between me and "the mighty Creator" before actually I was delivered to the world and then is it based on my own decision which maybe I was said I want to have a skinny body, dark brown skin, black hair which gradually fell of when I am above 30 y.o, Asian ethnic and more specific Indonesian? If so then I must be a little bit stupid to choose to be born as I am now instead of born to be a Brad Pitt or Beckham lol?If these are purely God's will, then why in these world many peoples think and dare to rise up their fingers and appointing to other mentioning that they're not right!! They're not blessed, sinner, will be burn in hell and so on why can we just accept and realize that we are a creations not creator and that's make us has no right to judge others and I ... |
