A good friend of mine who has been the spark of many of my recent self-realization posts just offered me a challenge. Well she frequently challenges me to be a better me, but this time it was a specific challenge. Basically she suggested that I write a Eulogy for myself written from another person’s perspective. How would I want […]
For most of my life (I pretty much discount the first few years when I was more interested in shiny objects than life paths) I have been trying to figure out what exactly I want to do when I grow up. Over the years I have managed to cross off the list a whole bunch of things […]
Part of the reason I took up blogging was to explore my own mind; to make concrete my own beliefs in my search for purpose in life. If in the process I also manage to help others understand my odd ways of thinking, then I get a bonus. BECAUSE I have chosen the “path less […]
So rumor has it today ends something and tomorrow starts something new. Personally I don’t get it. What does January 1st start anyway, other that an arbitrary calendar? I mean some dude with a god complex and the money and political clout to back it says: “Name a month after me, and make it the […]
There is a post I wrote almost a year ago that I often refer to. It is one of the first posts I wrote as I started creating my “blogging voice”. This small, on the surface possibly silly, post may be one of the most profound things that I have ever written. It is even one […]
Time for a little self mockery (and also self-indulgence) for the chance to gain some perspective. I seem to be waking up on the wrong side of the bed lately. In my bed this is not hard to do since all but a small corner is surrounded by walls. As one might imagine then getting […]
Any who have wandered the labyrinths of my writings here might notice that certain themes are often repeated. The themes are the foundations of my philosophy, so it is not unexpected that they play a major role in my blithering. I’ll lay the core ones out so no one has to think too hard: Everything, (and I mean […]
It seems T-shirt creating, dancing in underwear, and other “award” related duties must take a backseat for the moment, whilst I spout out some more thoughts from the depths, inspired by the events of recent days, a conversation or two, and of course some recent posts by my blogging family. Wow. Was that a sentence or what? […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was raised Jewish. When I was younger, I was a member of a Zionist Youth organization called Young Judea. This was before I really looked at organized religion and found it was not for me. We frequently had weekend “retreats” to help us be indoctrinated into a way of thinking. I am not being judgmental by saying this. It is […]
I am not one for astrology. I believe in the interconnectedness of all things, but I don’t believe anyone can predict anything from the positions of stars in the sky. Especially anything about human nature. On the other hand, I am completely dichotomous by nature. Which is ironic since the astrologers label me Gemini. What does this have to do with my title? […]
