So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Torture

Sometimes, when I'm here alone in my kitchen, I start to cry. I just start crying, spontaneously.

Or maybe it's the onions that I'm chopping that does it.

Hmmm. Yes, it seems correlated with chopping onions.

Then I feel like I want to pour crude oil all over myself and slink across a table.

Stop teasing the man across the street...

And you'd think vegetable oil would've been more appropriate. It doesn't turn you black and they WERE in a kitchen so..

I thought of Shakira
even before looking at the thumbnail for the video.

I've always thought she has a manly voice.

I agree with middaymoon. MAN VOICE!

Also, I don't understand why she seems to be sitting with the cutting board in her lap...

I think your comment was longer than my entry


I believe that being a lawyer is all abotu writing, reading, and analyzing facts, too. From the classes I've taken, lawyers, representatives, and law school deans I've met, they all tell me it's about reading and writing.. but .. the kind of writing is what gives me pause. I want to write short stories and novels and those little excerpts for SAT passages, not briefs and summarizations and all that. I'm currently enrolled in a class taught by "The Honorary Judge Xavier Rodriguez," some guy who was some big-shot attorney, then joined the Texas Supreme court before leaving to become another big shot attorney at a big firm, before Bush called him last year and asked him to become a federal court judge. Anyway, I talk to him quite frequently outside of class about law and being a lawyer and he makes it seem like, unless you do criminal law, your job consists of writing briefs, and motions, and reading over contracts and all that stuff.. and making a lot of money.

I've met a lot of lawyers in the private and business sector of the law.. but never someone in the criminal field, which is what I really want to do. I'm not sure what that life would consist of..

I'm also not sure if I'll lose something in me when I delve deeper into this law thing. Volunteering at the rape crisis center gives me an idea of just how desensitizing it is to work with rape victims on a regular basis. If I become a lawyer, I want to be one who prosecutes rapist and child molesters, and I fear that I'll become even less sensitive and would eventually only see things in black and white because that's the only way I could cope with meeting so many victims-- victims who I know I couldn't save and couldn't repair the damage done and all that. I fear that I'll lose the ability to see what is in between black and the white if I completely commit to this career path.

And I don't want to trade in my creative writing pen for a technical one.


And stop eating onions. They made your breath smell bad last time.

This still makes me laugh
everytime I read it. It must be the wording.
