Get That Steam Out!
We, as people, humans, friends, lovers, enemies, conceptual beings, are killing ourselves above and beyond anything else by our inability to stop… and listen.
And I am not talking about hearing. Hearing and listening are two different things. Listening is active, participatory.. and volitional. You have to want to do it.
I am a firm believer that [...]
What Makes The Book So Holy?
I’ve ridden busses in Boston and New York, and although I’ve witnessed many interesting things in my travels, there was no guarantee of having that one passenger that made the trip unique. This is so not the case in Maryland; seems like only the froot loops ride the bus here… wonder what that makes me? [...]
Forsaken
I bring to you words of wisdom, words of wonder, and words from the very pain of my soul. I am lost, but you, oh you who would listen, you can be free of that maze. If only you listen.
The first is just that. Listen. Learn. Don’t be closed or empty to the world around [...]
Un-Earthly Expectations
I believe in psychics of all varieties, personally, but I do not know any of them. I have friends who practice varieties of rituals and spells, but none of them claim to be able to predict the future or successfully read the minds of others. Yes, I believe in extra-sensory perception (ESP), and know several [...]
Just To Let You Know…
I hate getting passed a message that someone has a problem with me. It makes me feel like I’m being talked about behind my back. I know that this is going to happen, regardless, but it still comes as a smack in the face. What gets me even more is when I am told the [...]
When Are You Going To TRY?!
As it is morning, instead of night, when I should have written this.
And I am going to say just this, insprised by a conversation last night:
Life will not always be easy. Life will not always go in directions you want. The difference is whether or not you try. You really have two choices in life: [...]
Your Pseudo Dogmatic Control
“You break my back, you won’t break me…
All is black, but I still see…”
-KMFDM “Anarchy”
“I don’t fear the life I want to live,
I don’t fear the nothing I have to see.”
-Atari Teenage Riot “The Future Of War”
“We come into the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady [...]
Don’t Freak Out, It’s Just Blood!
I’m not talking about menstrual blood (not yet). I’m talking about blood that comes from a cut, scratch or some other wound. Have you ever freaked a little bit about seeing someone else’s blood, or your own? Now. Has anyone ever said to you something along the line of “don’t freak out, it’s just blood!”? [...]
I’m A Slacker…
I picked up food for everyone in the office today. It was quite an ordeal, especially keeping the drinks from spilling in my truck… (you know.. if you they all drank water, it’d been easier on all of us, what with the water cooler in the office.. but, enough of my “pro water” sentiments..) It [...]
I’m Here To Learn…
Honestly, it’s all very simple when you are beyond forced grade school. You pay for school (oh, wait, that is just for people like me.. most people have other people pay for them), you actually GO, and then you leave? Why?
There are a lot of factors involved, I know. But I am disgusted by class [...]
