God, Are You There? It’s Me, Your Dice.

April 15, 2010 eating out

Einstein has a famous quote: “God does not play dice.” Judy Blume has a famous book: “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.” My not-so-famous summarization of yesterday: “God, Are You Freaking There? It’s Me, Your Dice. Stop freaking playing with my life.” Yeah. I was pissed off and stupefied yesterday.

April 13, 2010 eating disorders

Spring for Life

April 7, 2010 God

There is something very enlightening about spring. Spring might be my favorite season of the year. That’s the one thing I miss about living in a four-seasonal area.
