• The weekend cannot come soon enough. This has been a particularly busy time at work, and the stress is making me edgy. Compounded with other stresses and challenges in life at the moment, work has become little more than a nettlesome bother: an eight-hour labor-intensive interruption to live and living. Raising a teenager is tough, particularly as a single parent. I do not often talk about my son (lovingly referred to as "The Boy"), but I am resolving to be more involved with him this year, and going forward. Hopefully, I can reverse certain negative trends, and build a lsting bridge between us. My challenge is that I do not come from a particularly close-knit family, and in truth bitterness and internecine warfare are far more common in my relations. Tonight, his school is hosting a workshop for "Parents with Turbulent Teens", which I could stand to attend. I suppose it isn't ever easy being a teenager, particularly when your parents divorce, your Grandfather dies of cancer, you're bi-racial, and have changed households and schools once per parent. Hopefully, I can find time to post more lyrics to songs by bands I've found lacking on this site. I rather enjoy doing it, although It can be time-intensive.
