Rosie R.

I see myself as an observer. I like to see both sides. I prefer to play devil's advocate. I firmly believe no one is ever always wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I determine the worth of a person by how much love he/she gives to those around them, how hard they work at being better in everything they do and how much time they spend not judging other people's shortcomings and inadequacies.

The Cable Thief

Rosie R. -
One day, late January, I came home and noticed my front door was unlocked. Another day, mid-February, I came home from work and noticed my back door was unlocked. A week later, I woke up in the middle of the night.  I thought I heard someone in the house...

Coming to America

Rosie R. -
Handling visiting relatives is as dangerous as handling a scorpion.  Yes, I understand that most don’t know how the system work and need a little guidance in getting around and doing things - but the ones that refuse to listen and claim to be I-Too-Know in all things American - those ones are just plain annoying...

Rosie R. -
Sometimes I lose myself in the uncertainty of my place in the world.  What set of traditions and customs in particular make me who I am?  If I abandon those customs and traditions will I still be who I am?

Been There, Done That

Rosie R. -
I feel a little sorry for people in their 20s because no one will tell them that early adulthood can be just as tumultuous as teen years.  Only this time, adult mistakes have adult consequences and they will make loads of them...

Picking Your Self Up Off The Floor Starts With 0

Rosie R. -
Twice a week for three freaking hours, I had to sit in a room and look into the faces of people just like me - except they were not me.  I had to look at my failures dead in the eye and face them.  If I had a gun, I would have gladly put a bullet in my head...

I Have a Sun

Rosie R. -
On this particular day I was perfecting my multitasking skills - channel surfing, web surfing and chatting on the phone with Johnny. Some of you might remember him from One Sunday Morning. By now I am safely 1200 miles away from the sexy bastard, smack in the middle of nowhere...

The Cinderella Story

Rosie R. -
"Remember Nkechi's wedding? You know how skinny and tall she is, right? Well against all reason, she wore a body-hugging dress. Nice dress, but she looked like a rake. I am taller than she is and I am not wearing a body-hugging dress!"
