Today’s AriZona RxEnergy
I slept pretty well last night, but still want caffeine and sugar to wake completely up. So I’m sipping on an RxEnergy. It’s a guilty pleasure because it’s not a healthy breakfast. My youngest requested a bath so he’s soaking. His older brother is ready for his day program. And both of my sons on…

The Name of Christ
The LDS tradition has a peculiar concept. Members are encouraged to take on the name of Christ. This is largely metaphorical. No one is supposed to actually change their last name. But oddly enough one of my forefathers farther back than we have accurate genealogy literally took on the name of Christ. The LDS Church…

Pull Cord
On Friday in the early morning my youngest son was turning on all the lightbulbs in the house as he always does. He got to the light over the kitchen sink and yanked the cord so hard that it came clean out. That started a meltdown that lasted for 16 hours. With extra medication we…

WordPress’ Gimmick
I have run out of daily prompts. My views dropped from a steady stream to a trickle since then. I’ve talked to WordPress about giving more precedence to original posts but they don’t see the problem. If engagement is almost entirely reliant on the daily prompt gimmick, the service is of much less value to…

Objective Truth
I said and written it many times. I often argue that objective truth exists but that you shouldn’t take my word for it. I certainly won’t be taking yours at any rate. Stay Weird! Stay Awesome! Build your destiny!

Spooky Season
Bear with me. All Saints Day (November 1st) begins the Christmas Season. The Christmas season runs until about Valentine’s Day (February 14th) After that Comes Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter. The Easter season runs from Valentine’s Day to Independence Day (July 4th). July 5th, and I am sure of this, starts Spooky Season which runs…

Another Day
Each day is a new opportunity to do better, but lets be honest, doing better is a case of three steps forward two steps back. And sometimes that third step takes more effort than the rest of the week. So I sit here and type on my phone about getting better without actually getting better.…

A Will of its Own
How much agency did the One Ring in Lord of the Rings have? Did it want to be returned to Mount Doom? It was ultimately a slave of Sauron, and the magic in it might have sought release from that bondage. The One Ring ruled the other rings but was itself ruled. It was a…

Independent Thought
I’m all out of daily prompts right now so I have to come up with something to say at 12:41 am. Fortunately I’m still kinda high so I don’t really care if I’m being intellectually consistent. I drank 20mg of THC9 several o hours ago and now I’m eating rice crispy treats. The world will…

Never a Dull Moment
It’s a little after midnight again and the house is finally quiet. I don’t think everyone is asleep yet but they are all upstairs in their rooms. I however am not ready for bed yet. It’s been a busy day. Diapers, Baths, and Meltdowns. Arguments with my wife. Arguments online. The cats have to be…
