Passing Time Without Me
Which activities make you lose track of time? Today I have lost track of time with my mobile games. I also lose track of time when I’m doing my digital art. Sometimes when I’m arguing on Facebook I lose track of time but that is happening less and less often these days since the latest…

The Center of the Universe
What bothers you and why? It bothers me when I am not getting attention. I like attention. I crave attention. It’s probably an overstatement that I want to be the center of the universe, but I’m not so who knows. Gazillions of adoring sentient life forms would be fun to try. An alien species sends…

A Choice of Life or Death
I ponder 2 Nephi 2 again today. “27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man.

Holidays with the Family

Facebook Jail
I was banned from Facebook for only twelve hours. I have a theory as to why since they didn’t tell me what triggered either decision. I have several strikes for inciting violence according to Facebook Community Standards. I made a post a couple of years ago comparing the January 6th Republican protests to the Wisconsin…

Facebook Ban
At approximately 12;30 I received a ban for Facebook. They did not tell me why. They will review the ban once before it becomes permanent. I might have just made my last controversial post on the platform and I don’t even know which one it was. I feel like I’m coming to the end of…
