Behind the Door

There's more here
than ever have my eyes met
but I would rather shut this tight
and bury the key
than face reality

Where Have You Been?

List all the countries to which you have been. Which ones did you like best and which ones would you not care to re-visit?

I've Got a Bone to Pick

I can't talk about work here, but it bugs me to death.

Still, know that I am happy about this past weekend.

Also know that I should be ready to visit St. Petersburg soon. Anyone else want to visit the motherland?

Fenway Park '09 improvements

Red Sox president Larry Lucchino gave a tour of the stadium to Boston Mayor Thomas Menino on Thursday, four days before the opener against Tampa Bay. Lucchino says a few more years of upgrades will be done and the park should last for another 40 to 50 years. This is the eighth straight year of improvements. There are more seats in the upper right field stands.

Far From Away

Sometimes, there is enough silence to hear your own heart beat. In these moments, you must either find peace or wait 'til the sun goes down.

Nice to See Some Familiar Faces

After an almost 5 year stint at JS it's nice to see some familiar faces. I'd rather not mention my name on here because it is highly searchable by those with which I work. Please don't make any guesses in comments; it should become pretty obvious after a while.

I was thinking lately about loyalty and how some people are extremely loyal to certain friends and family members but can't keep their word with strangers, co-workers, or even their spouses. I've known quite a few people that were not well-liked and had a reputation for sabotaging people out of jealousy who had a huge network of friends. They all seemed to have this undying loyalty to each other. Were they really loyal or just scared to be on each others' bad sides?

If I make a promise, before any words are uttered I have to be sure that I am fully capable of carrying out the promise. There have been times that I got myself in deeper than I wanted out of the desire to please a person/people, and have had to severely inconvenience myself to carry out the promise. In some rare cases I have had to come clean and tell the person that I was unable to do what I had promised. In my younger years I'd had run away or have avoided the person altogether, but now I find it very hard to do that unless I feel like I would be in danger otherwise.

What does the word loyalty mean to you?
