  • The Sweetest Thing

    Brandon and William came over tonight. Brandon’s girlfriend LeeAnn was with The four boys, Stephanie, and me. Ben had a very hard time watching the movie with us but he let it play when everybody else did. After everyone went home I asked Ben if he had fun with Brandon and Will? He answered “love…

  • Anxiety

    I’m still not sleeping right. I’ve been getting to bed at midnight fairly regularly but when my alarm goes off at 10 am I shut it off and try to go back to sleep. I’m sleeping a lot but it doesn’t seem to be doing very much good. I simply don’t want to be awake.…

  • Humanizing

    The USA has a troubling history of dehumanizing people. Tribal people weren’t seen as human at all. African slaves were 3/5 of a person. Jewish, German, Irish, Italian, and Japanese citizens faced prejudice that dehumanized them. Today Muslims aren’t fully welcome as equal citizens and unborn children are in many places not considered humans at…

  • Scientific Determinism

    There are some brilliant scientific minds that assert that I do not have a choice about anything. They insist that everything I do and think has been determined by the physics and chemistry that I have inherited. Every particle in the universe was, they say, set in motion during the big bang. I can’t do…

  • Lacking Wisdom

    I made a New Year’s Resolution to describe myself as gnostic more often and a weirdo less often. But I can’t seem to convince anyone that I have experienced eternal truth. That is a very hard sell. On the other hand most people agree without much thought that I am a weirdo. If any of…

  • Poop Day

    It’s garbage day tomorrow. That means diapers and cat litter need to be taken out of the house and put into the garbage bin. All that poop is my responsibility. I have almost no sense of smell which is a small blessing on poop day. It mostly stays pretty contained during the week which is…

  • Free Speech

    A long time ago I swore an oath to defend The Constitution of the United States. I promised the federal government that I would kill and die for it. I am not legally bound to that promise any longer. I am far less enthusiastic about most of the Constitution but I love and will fight…

  • What I Know

    I am completely convinced about eternal progression. We lived before this life and chose to come here to progress. We learn the lessons of mortality as a form of progression. When we leave here we will learn the lessons of immortality and continue to progress if we choose. As we embrace the divine we become…

  • Another Good Day

    I’m good. I didn’t need to get dressed today. I took a shower and got right into clean jammies. William did his laundry this evening. We had hamburgers and shared with my homeless friend Raven. He agreed to do dishes which was helpful. Things are quiet again and I finished my last beer.
