Sunday Sayings

I really don't have a lot to say today, so I apologize. I've been working a lot, it's late, and t's almost the end of the summer - I'm brain-dead.

Watchmen

After reading Watchmen  by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons in my pop lit class, I understood why this comic series, though I had never heard of it, was a total classic. It has so much substance to it. And the visual medium was entirely necessary to make the points that this graphic novel makes. Without the illustrations, the story could never have this kind of depth to it. The novel poses this most interesting question: what if superheroes really did exist in our world? But what if most of them were more like Batman: ordinary people who use their talents to go about in disguise and help the helpless? Yet, in some sense, they admit that this could never happen in our own world, and so there are subtle changes (which become more obvious as the story progresses) which prove that these events are happening in an alternate timeline. The addition of overly vibrant and somewhat unusual colours plays into the fictional atmosphere of the whole thing. At the same time, they use the para...

Starting in a new positions at my job, I have to admit that I've been feeling pretty co rodent about it. It seemed simple enough. And then I hit an unexpected snag. I can across some problems that I didn't know how to solve because I've never experienced them before. And I admit that when I saw the first problem I started to panic a bit.

Plus I'm still very new at this job, so no one will be expecting me to be perfect yet. If the fault is mine, they'll tell me what I've done wrong and hopefully I won't do it again. But I choose to see this as a learning experience, a small wave on an otherwise calm sea that has already passed me by. It won't stop me from enjoying life if I just let it go. This doesn't affect any of the important things in life.

Happy Mother's Day!

It has been 4 months exactly since I last saw my mom, but I did not realize that until I sat down to write this post. Has it been hard to live away from her? At times, yes. That probably sounds odd coming from an adult, but I think growing up and moving out is when we realize just how much we appreciate our moms. My mother and I have become really close in the last couple of years while my sister has often been away at school. We do so much together and sometimes I miss those little things like grocery shopping or watching our favourite shows. The older I got the more I was able to appreciate how well my parents raised me; I say this not out of pride for myself, but out of the humble realization that my parents shaped me into the woman that I am today. My mom and I have always been close, but becoming an adult has made us friends. You might think it odd that I would not have considered my mom a friend before, but I think a mother is something so much more special. Moms are the ones to ...
