Evil shopping mall


shoppers on their way out
Originally uploaded by mary04.
My Sunday rushed by….and I dreaded getting a gift from the Mall. The suburban Mall is evil. I ran in and out of this mall as fast as I possible could before I was infected by the evil ideology of commercialism. It makes me really crazy to think that I grew up in this backdrop as a part of my suburban existence as a child; it is truly amazing that I have somehow opened my eyes to the hegemony!
YEAH! For all those of you that must enter this evil place best of luck!

Today I was lucky enough to be told about a student and fellow humanist/world traveler named Micah MacAllen. He was a student @ UB, studied abroad and is now exploring South America.
He has such thoughtful posts, fantastic pictures and real insight into life.

Here is his Blog: http://www.livedeliberately.org/

One thing he talked about was: (June 2005), How fast do you walk when you have nowhere to be? It made me stop and think how fast I walk now, as I have to be too many places...

Remembering Great times


Some days when work and school gets to me, I try to remember my good friends...even if they are not so close where I can give them a hug.

Love Di

Snowy Buffalo morning


Well, this morning was slow for me! Snow and cold weather seem to only work to challenge my motivation to do school work.
Thanks to Eric Delmelle, here's a picture of UB during one Buffalo winter. While we don't have this much snow today, you can get the idea~~~
Stay warm!

He announced he's contributing his $25,000 gold medal award from the U.S. Olympic Committee to refugees from Darfur. And he urged Olympic sponsors to support the same relief effort.
