Things to be said
I took this picture. Do you think it's hot? I do.
It's a Sunday afternoon and I'm trying to focus all my writing energy on some of my actual deadlines, so forgive me for the brevity from which I speak.
Outside of work and the occasional random thought about other random things, here's what I've been thinking about today.
I am not on the pill so I can have sex without condoms, although if the opportunity arose and I trusted my partner I'm not saying I wouldn't. According to the Yale Book of Women's Reproductive Health (or some title like that) - being on the pill reduces a woman's risk of ovarian and uterine cancer by 50%! When you've watched enough women under 55 in your own family die of some sort of cancer like that, you start to think that a 50% better chance of survival is something you'd like to aim for.
I am not as depressed as my writing may make me sound.
Why are some of us deep thinkers while others of us hardly think at all? Is there a method to the madness?
I live in the projects. Yes, the projects. Not around them but in them. Last night when I came home at 1AM I realized just what this meant. If I didn't live in the projects I might not, at 1AM, even walk on the same side of the street as these builidngs, but I live in the center of it all. However, the view is magnificent, and that's why I'm here. Is that enough of a reason?
