I don’t believe it
I see your joy I hear your tickle I feel your energy But I don’t believe it I see your worry I feel your pain I hear your sorrow But I don’t believe it You are a shell You are a whisper You are a robot Show me […]
Stranded on an Island, I hunger for music, over books..even Taylor Swift
I recently held an upper management retreat where I did a silly exercise of what five things each group would want with them if stranded on a remote island. If you had to experience Gilligan’s Island, what would you want besides ear buds so as to not have […]

Don’t upload that onto Facebook: The Psychology of Posing
You are with a group of friends or with a loved one enjoying a beautiful scenery. You take a photograph together for the fun of it. You take a photograph to remember and to commemorate the moment. You take a photo because you can now. You can go […]
The useless stuff I learned about myself through Facebook

You found me, fallen and unaware
I stand here, humbled, alone and contemplative. My head is bowed before your majesty hoping to find peace. You found me, lost and unsure. You found me, wandering searching for a hero. You found me, fallen and unaware. I stand here, head bowed and begging. Don’t throw […]
The most precious thing I own was $5
I have a nice jewelry collection. All of the expensive nice pieces not bought by me. And that’s fine by me. I have a nice art collection that was started off by someone else. I now buy my own pieces- often more in the absurdist art […]
