There are a number of reasons that Carla could be agitated over, such as: being overwhelmed, confused, and angry about the agency’s actions, fearful, exhausted, confused, needing attention, and being angry about something said or done. I do believe the staff didn’t take Carla’s anger personally, because the staff recognized there was an underlying issue that needed to be resolved. Staff recognized that we all experience tough times and feelings of anger are not out of the ordinary. The staff was…
It's Friday night, I've worked all week. What better way to unwind or should I say treat myself, than to head over to Angel's Rock Bar in Baltimore, MD to check out hometown legends Silvertung on the first night of their headlining North American Tour " Hit The Pavement". Oh wait, did I say unwind? Well I meant to say wound up. But not before supporting act VIA took to the stage with their gritty vocals and down & dirty lyrics. Who would have known they drove 26 hours straight from Minneapolis,…
Sitting there at the end of the pier was the USS Enterprise (CVN 65) towering over every other ship it dominated my sight. Even from far away it was massive but as I inched closer it began to take over the sky, eventually it even blotted out the sun leaving me standing shivering in its cold shadow. I was so enamored by it that I barely remember boarding, only a slight conversation while crossing the quarter deck. Inside the chill lingered as I looked around out the varying shades of black and…
We are a generation of busyness and this is a trend that does not seem to be diminishing anytime soon. In a day and age where we work so feverishly to balance work and life demands, dealing with emotional issues often gets put on the back burner. We often don't' take the time needed to care for one of the must crucial aspects of our health, our mental health. What if there was a way to not only care for our emotional well-being but care for our physical self as well? Introducing Walk and talk…
exhaust themselves over trivial matters due to the pressure of society to do well. With the constant feeling of stress, these individuals develop mental illnesses and disorders that affect their behavior immensely. These illnesses can range from anxiety disorder, stress disorder, depression, to even Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). However, unlike physical illnesses, many tend to disregard mental illnesses, labeling them as simply a figment of insanity. The lack of emotional and mental…

My friend Toni and I should not be allowed in public. I have multiple reasons this rule should be held in place. First, gravity is out natural enemy. Any flat, bumpy, uneven, odd, or smooth surface holds danger for us. In addition to the social rimes that stand against us, we are incredibly loud. A person could hear our voices and laughter from across a building with a Michael Bay movie playing at full volume. The final reason would be, simply put, would be that I don’t care. i often find myself…
If we do not fear, what we can see in the inside and look at the body with a sense of its composition, its structure and complexity there is the option of celebrating our anatomies. It can stimulate curiosity and apply the biological mechanics of our insides in our surroundings. When we set aside our stigmata’s on sex and openly explore its nature, we can avoid misunderstandings and stimulate innocent curiosity towards the sexual element of our anatomies, and then we can discard the notion of a…
In the article, Depth Echolocation Learnt by Novice Sighted people the authors did a study to see if you could teach non-blind people to echolocate. They had 18 participants, 9 males 9 females. After conducting a few tests to make sure none of the participants had hearing impairments, some of the participants were put in the anechoic room, and half in the reverberant room which had parquet, polyester carpet on the floor. They believed that non-blind people would echolocate better in the…
Swimming Upstream I for one can honestly say that I do not like conflict and try to avoid confrontation. I feel as if that most people don’t like to be in arguments and don’t enjoy making people unhappy. For instance, on the morning that Mr. Messerschmidt and his friend took action and supported the old man cleaning up the glass, nobody even flinched at the actions of the two men in fear of supporting the less physically popular ideal. Physically no one moved, but I don’t think that there is…
