I love apples. I am eating one right now. I am allergic to apples. Did I mention I am eating one right now? This seems to be a common theme in my life. I am the eternal “took the one less traveled by” man. Not sure if this is good or bad, but it is […]
Anyone who has wandered the pastures of my imagination may have noticed that there is an occasional demon to be found playing in there. I am not unusual in being a playground for demons, but I seem to have a knack for collecting odd ones. I am usually pretty good at keeping the buggers out of my […]
Back in my yute (hey I like Cousin Vinny!) I often found myself collecting things. The things I collected were usually a reflection of my inherently irreverent (say that one time slowly) nature. I collected T-shirts. Of course they had to be humorous to say the least. Never insulting. That’s not my style. But often sarcastic. I collected […]
After simmering in my own stew for the last couple of day (oooh what an appetizing image that must create), I have lots of thoughts that need sorting. Writing is one of my fundamental ways of doing just that. I find that my best writing just happens. I am the mere conduit for words that wish to be read. They are […]
Warning! Possibly depressing post! And definitely a long one. With no pictures. Good one to miss if you are in a lighthearted mood! My serenity is still disturbed. (Waves on my serenity) More pieces of the pattern keep appearing. More posts from others in the blogging world. A conversation I just had today with a new online acquaintance. TV […]
My mind is troubled today. Troubled in the way of a placid lake on a windy day. There are waves on my serenity. Apparently I think differently than most people. I tend to think in patterns, when most are focused on details. Because of this, I have a holistic view of reality. I believe everything is interconnected on some […]
I used to hear about people doing all sorts of things in order to find themselves. People attending religious camps, climbing mountains, trekking across deserts, and sitting alone in the dark staring at the wall. One guy even spent a whole winter living in a tiny wooden shack surrounded by hungry polar bears. I mean, […]
Been in hiding for a few days. I sometimes do that. Especially when I lose site of the positive. And sadly the negative seems to often come as a surrounding cloud, instead of a simple drop of rain. Usually when I hide away, I do a lot of thinking. About the world. About me. About […]
I put this disclaimer on one of my more involved and thought filled posts (The Road to Entropy): Knowledge is limiting. Knowledge is static. Understanding is limitless. Understanding is fluid. I lay no claim to knowledge. I do lay claim to understanding. The primary weakness of the following is that it is written with words. Words lie in […]
The blaring of sirens woke me up again. My first thought was: Damn I could use a bit of peace! My second though was: What exactly IS peace anyway? Time for a new quest!! I went to my neighbor, who has an answer for everything. He and his wife were shouting at each other. Did […]
