Words and The Word
I got in a short argument with my homeless friend Raven. We were talking about The Book of Mormon, the Bible, and the Quran. He said there is only one word. He wasn’t completely clear but I think he meant that Jesus was The Word. Could have been the Bible since The Word is obfuscating…

Headache
I stayed awake for 32 hours on purpose and now I have a headache. I need to wait a little while to take my psych meds and go to bed. I am not as young as I used to be.

Reciprocation

Assassin
When I was about thirteen I walked home from school in a very dirty area. There were hundreds of bottles on the ground. I played D&D a lot at the time and so made up a game based on the levels for a player character assassin. Every bottle I broke I gave myself 100 experience…

I Work for a Living
I had a short conversation with an ROTC cadet. He seemed competent so far as he’s been trained. Reminded me a little of myself 40 years ago. He called me sir at the end of the call and without thinking I said, “Don’t call me Sir. I work for a living.” The sergeants would tell…

Building a better you
The worst advice Americans get on a regular basis is: Just be yourself. If a person believes they are the way they are and can’t do anything about it, that is a recipe for mental illness. Lack of self control is a great predictor of negative outcomes. We all tend to be selfish, ignorant, and…
