Here in the U.S. it’s Father’s Day. My Dad and I have a relationship that can be a little stressful at times and as a counselor it can be very irritating and frustrating. But there are also things that I wouldn’t change for the world. Try as we may, it seems that it’s almost inevitable [...]

Here’s another one I can add to the “books I never read in school but should have” pile. I would’ve enjoyed reading this book in a classroom setting. Particularly in college. Beowulf was a wonderful experience made even more enjoyable by Seamus Heaney’s mastery of the English language.
Beowulf is a 3,182 line epic poem written [...]

I’ve felt very “blah” today. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not the greatest either. It made for some good reading as I’m nearly done Beowulf in preparation for reading Grendel for the Banned Book Challenge. Beowulf’s great and if you haven’t read it, I highly recommend Seamus Heaney’s translation of it. Full review coming [...]

Never thought I’d say those words, but frankly, I’ve had enough of sitting on my butt doing a whole lot of nothing. Though I must say that I’ve enjoyed getting in all of this reading lately. That’s been nice. I need a job! Regardless of whether or not I choose to go into a PhD [...]

Don’t always get me down. How’s that for a clever title for a post. Oh brother :p There’s something that I just love about the rumble of thunder on a summer afternoon. It’s the most relaxing sound in the world. Especially when I can enjoy it at home underneath the patio with a book. I [...]

So I’m thinking that I’m a little bit crazy. Due to the total lack of jobs down here in the mental health area, I’m seriously considering going BACK to school again…this time for the big one….the PhD. I figure, what the hell…I went this far in school, why not finish it and be Dr. Howard. [...]
