Hey there, MyFight began as my visceral reaction to the reality that horrible things like child-soldiery, sex trafficking, and human slavery existed in our world in record numbers while many of the people around me were writing this off as "just the way things are, isn't it awful."

I now know that many, many people are as intolerant as I am about this injustices, that my fight, is really our fight and that we're not going to back down until we're dead or the capsule of injustice--extreme poverty--no longer exists.

Don’t whiff right after a run.

I’ve taken on a new activity recently:  competitive running.  Yeah, I know I’m not exactly what you would call a runner, in fact I kinda loath running.  There is little satisfaction I receive from gasping for air as a pregnant woman pushing a stroller passes by me while over cheerfully yelling, “Good Job, keep it [...]
