How did I end up here?

Still stuck at the desk! I am currently wondering how I arrived at this age (you know – 30-something) still working For The Man in Corporate America. I dislike corporate. Don't get me wrong, I like my company now and what it stands for, etc. It isn't this one company I don't like. It is corporate as a whole that I am uncomfortable in. I hate its trivial tangling and full-of-crap rules. I despise the hierarchy that builds upon itself not by what you know, but by who you know. The every-where signs of favoritism that I witness, all carefully hidden in the proper wording and documentation, just sicken me. And the strange tactics used day in and day out make me feel - on a good day - like I am on a planet not our own. And this is not by any means a slight to my current employer, but an overall view of corporate as I have always seen it and lived it. Carbon copies of each other, no matter where you go! I find its daily routine suffocating and demoralizing. Corporate is defini...

What’s that you say? A Sunny Day?

Normally the weather report doesn’t make such an impact that I should decide it is worthy of its own blog entry. However, as I mentioned yesterday, the month of May has been so rainy that a full four-day forecast of escalating 70+ degrees of sunny days makes an impact. Add that to the fact that it is Memorial Day weekend and a shot day at work and you know that I feel pretty damn great! Sunshine coupled with my early escape from work and a nearly empty office to start with has all the ingredients to start off the Memorial Day weekend with a bang! A little bird told me that I have made some references to my health (or lack thereof), but not fully delved into it. This brilliant birdie suggested I add some details to the mystery to avoid confusion. At first I thought, well that should bore someone to tears. But then I said: Oh, hell no! Not the way I will weave that tale! However, I am going to post that part in its own entry. Seeing as how it encompasses such a huge chunk of my existe...

The Human Watcher

By nature, I enjoy studying other human beings. In malls or airports, at restaurants or parks, I like to observe my fellow humans to try to understand some of the behaviors we all have. One of my favorite pastimes is watching and creating stories in my head for people I encounter in the subways of NYC. Everyone has a story and some of the folks I see underground make excellent subjects for tales I make up in my head. I can make these people part of my stories or make up entire books around them from merely a glance between subway stops. I go by what I see on their faces and their body language. I exam what they are wearing or carrying and how they mix in (or not mix in) with the general populace on board a subway car. This morning I see a man on the Q train holding one of NYC’s two free newspapers, the Metro news. His clothes are mismatched and his hair is uncombed. He looks like he has been up for days and he has a week’s worth of scruffy beard to show for it. Off his left hand, ...
