ANNOUNCEMENT

Looking for the Ayn Rand story? It's here and here.

 

Not blogging much these days, but still posting pics and a few thoughts now and then.

Do not harbor grief. Behind the curtain are hidden secrets and games of which we are not aware.

Six Principles Of Nonviolence

By Patia, on January 19, 2004, at 12:00 am

By Martin Luther King Jr.

Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding. Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people. Nonviolence holds that suffering can educate and transform. Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate. Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice.

The Internet Is Taking Over My Brain

By Patia, on December 18, 2003, at 12:00 am

I also find myself doing non-computer things — like reading a book or walking down the aisle at Safeway — . . . → Read More: The Internet Is Taking Over My Brain

By Patia, on January 1, 2003, at 12:00 am

It always feels so strange to write the date at the beginning of a new year. 2003. Weird. In any case, I wish everyone a very happy one!

Happy birthday, Michelle! I’m so glad you were born. I love you with all my heart.

Time Flies

By Patia, on October 20, 2002, at 12:00 am

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and thinking on organization and time management. Trying to get my life into some kind of order. Here’s a quote I like: “You don’t prioritize your schedule, you schedule your priorities.” Good read Here’s an essay by one of my favorite writers, Barbara Ehrenreich: “Not The War . . . → Read More: Time Flies

By Patia, on October 13, 2002, at 12:00 am

Hello, my name is Patia and I’m a Martha Stewart addict. Yes, it’s true. After having watched the Queen of Perfect’s TV show every morning for the past week, I can no longer deny it.
