About me - Jeffrey Jason Hill

I write. My work has been few and far between at times, and I'm just coming off of another sojourn in the wilderness. Forgive me. I promise to post only the most interesting hubs. I'm also in virgin territory for me here, having a hub and all. So you'll have

Arts & Humanities > Who & What is Helium My love for Helium: 9 of 21
With Helium, writers are in luck. This is the information age, and Helium's stock-in-trade is information. In the history of the world there has never been an easier way to publish your work than right now. The invention of Helium was a wonderful idea. Create a site where writers read each other's work and make the incentive... More..
Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing The benefits of journaling: 65 of 148
This is a short article because most articles about journaling should be short. Journal keepers, present company included, don't know exactly why we do what we do - not why we include certain details to the exclusion of others, not even if journal-keeping is possibly a suicidal act (especially if you're married). I figured t... More..

OFFICE SPOUSE On a mid-morning in August of 1994, I walked briskly into the cube farm of a local software company. The cube farm was busy and hectic, the air vibrating in shifts between soft all the way over to the furious and frantic pecking of keyboards under baffled ceilings. There are those who hate the office cubicle as... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Easter Relationship between Easter and Passover: 4 of 9
Passover and Easter are beautifully intertwined. Most know Passover and Easter always coincide in March or early April. However, there is a deeper spiritual connection and unity between them of which many are unaware. For thousands of years, to Jews the Passover is officially designated the "Season of Liberation" or "Season ... More..
Health & Fitness > Bipolar Disorder Mental illness and family life: How to cope with bipolar disorder: 10 of 22
Jason and Christina were parents of a one-year old autistic boy. They were unmarried. They were living together in 2002. Christina was the younger; she was a happy, scholastically-challenged, blue-eyed, blond girl. Jason was black, her senior by ten years. He was very intelligent, sensitive, and had an undiagnosed mental ill... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Celebrations & Holidays (Other) The symbols of Passover: 4 of 8
Every March or early April, Jewish homes observe certain symbols associated with the historic background of Passover. Take the matzo. The holy cracker. They look like your typical saltines. A little darker, though. When you cook them, roasting a simple mixture of wheat flour and water dough, the part near the holes becomes b... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Pulitzer Center What would be the most dramatic difference, in terms of U.S. foreign policy, between a President John McCain and a President Barack Obama?: 27 of 52
Political statements by Barack Obama and John McCain, as well as statements by government leaders and a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan, remind us of the reality of the Islamic threat and a seemingly inevitable conflagration. During a recent campaign stop, the Illinois senator spoke of the scarcity of military resources in ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders (Other) Are American citizens lowering their expectations of President Obama?: 8 of 15
He cut payroll taxes. He lifted the ban on stem cell research. He issued an executive order to shut down Gitmo. He extended unemployment benefits for millions of laid-off workers and signed the largest stimulus bill in American history. And on his orders, a team of Navy SEALs flawlessly executed the rescue of the captain of ... More..
Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts Can a relationship survive without intimacy?: 8 of 13
If I am sure of anything I am sure there is a difference between "loving" someone and "being in love with" someone. Why do people who are not in love get married? Often it is because they haven't realized it yet. When men are insecure, when they are lonely, when they have often been hurt and rejected, when they are self-hati... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball If I ran the New York Mets: 5 of 8
If I ran the the New York Mets, I wouldn't change a thing. Apparently the new boss isn't the same as the old boss. The Mets seem to be enjoying a renaissance under new manager Jerry Manuel. In case you haven't been paying attention, in the first half of the season the Mets had been effed over, left for dead, dissed and forgo... More..
