It’s Never Enough
It’s no wonder why I don’t sleep well. I honestly feel like I’m never doing enough. I could be learning more about Microsoft Exchange or about Domino 8; I could be working on one of my papers for school; I could be putting together the slides that I will use for the training I am [...]
Paris – Week 1
Wow, I didn’t realize how absent I have been from my blog until I pulled up the page and saw nothing but weeks and weeks worth of Twitter updates. Sorry I’ve been away so long, folks. Work, school, vacation, and travel in general have made it difficult to keep up. Anyhow, for those of you [...]
Marriage Equality Protest – Part 2
In Marriage Equality Protest – Part 1, I asked the question, “… are straight parents are ‘teaching’ their children to be straight and that gay parents are ‘teaching’ their children to be gay?” I don’t think so, but I do believe there is a definite difference on how most straight parents raise their children and how [...]
Marriage Equality Protest – Part 1
Two weeks ago, I noticed a lot of activity on the streets surrounding my neighborhood as I left the apartment for a run through Central Park. Unfortunately, I was oblivious to everything that was going on around me; I had no idea why there were crowds of people strolling down Lexington Ave. I think I [...]
Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Paul Dalenberg
While attending Paul and Tracy’s wedding in Virginia Beach, VA – I was recognized! Can you believe it?
What Now?
The thing I love most about New York City is that there is never a shortage of activities to choose from when one wants to venture out of the confines of their small, New York apartment. Last night I chose to attend a special edition of Matthew Kelleher’s Sexy Back Thursdays @ The Park. Normally, [...]
Grieving 101: Dembinski Style
The members of my family all deal with grief differently, and some of those methods are more constructive than others. Personally, I would have preferred to lock myself in a room for two weeks as I sort through my own feelings and process my emotions alone. However, it was more helpful to the rest of the [...]
A Few Words About My Mother
At every funeral, people are always asked if they would like to come up and say a few words about the deceased. I’ve never got up to speak before, but the deceased was never my mother before. I had to write the words, I couldn’t do this speech off the cuff, otherwise I wouldn’t have [...]
State Of Confusion
I have been trying to deny how stressed out I am, but the signs are all there. First, there’s the insomnia. Ambien CR is still helping me get to sleep, but the hours of consecutive sleep continues to shrink. Then there’s the forgetfullness. I generally feel that I have a terriffic memory – except when [...]
I Felt, I Feel, I Felt – A Poem by Lynda Dembinski
Here is the another poem by my mother. This is the poem that was published in a book titled ‘American Poetry Anthology.’ I am not certain that this is my mother’s best poem, but it’s the only published poem. I do think it’s rather insightful regardless. I FELT, I FEEL, I FELT I don’t want to [...]
Michael Phelps Does Drugs!
This is hard to say without sounding like a habitual drug user myself, but I say – so what! I am sick and tired of hearing about it. I’ve seen headlines such as “Pot of Gold” or heard news taglines like “what should parents tell their children when role models go bad?” Parents should tell [...]
Free Financial Management Software – Mint.Com
Yesterday, the new roommate introduced me to the website, mint.com. I spent twenty minutes on this website and I have decided that it’s my new favorite free online money management site. Here are a few of the reasons why: Quick and Easy Setup – Within 30 minutes, I was able to quickly and easily connect [...]
Normalization
Normalization is a technique that database administrators use to organize their data into tables. Normalization may have the affect of duplicating data, but it does not introduce redundancy. Ultimately, the end result of normalization is a map that shows you what objects belong in a database, their relationships, and the tables required and the columns [...]
Peaked Pet Peeves
I have wrote about a few of my pet peeves in the past, I’m sure. I’m not one to keep my trap shut. But I wasn’t feeling well today. As we can all attest, things never seem to go our way when we are sick or don’t quite feel right. It’s as if Murphy also [...]
Introducing President Elect Barack Obama
Need I write anything else! Congratulations, America! You woke up!
