  • Tired of Shit

    There is a lot of poop in my life. My morning started with cleaning a butt and then cleaning the floor because I was fast enough getting to the butt. There been fighting and screaming today. All I wanted to do was sleep though it. Stephanie was able to take up slack but now she…

  • Sedentary

    Pets live longer than similar animals in the wild statistically speaking. They don’t have to worry about predators eating them. They get fed, so they don’t have to hunt for food. They can generally lead more calm and relaxed lives. Human dependents are in a very similar station in life.

  • Relevance

    I want my life to matter. I want my life to be useful. I want my life to make a difference. I want relevance. I have a very small circle of influence. It’s a good circle but is very small. I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Danny and he tried to…

  • Selfish

    I want more than I need. I’m pretty sure of it. Stephanie wants me to be my authentic self. That I think is my authentic self. She also wants us to be sustainable. I want to eat more than I need to eat. That is not sustainable. I don’t care. I want you to bring…

  • Christmas Cynicism

    If you’ve spent much time with me online you know that I have grave and growing concerns about Christianity. Today I watched A Muppet Christmas Carol. Near the end Scrooge wipes the snow off his own gravestone to reveal his name. He begs the ghost of Christmas future that it will not be so. But…

  • 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…

  • Centipedes

    We have centipedes in the basement. I’m pretty sure they help to control the population of smaller bugs. We prefer a few natural predators to poisons and traps. The centipedes fill a niche in the ecosystem of our house. The move around so unlike our dearly departed spider Bob I can’t tell them apart or…

  • Saving the Earth

    There are two kinds of environmentalists broadly speaking. The first group want to save the earth FROM humans. They argue that we are a plague or an infection and that the earth is better off without us. saving the earth FROM humans means letting it go back to it’s natural state before we started exploiting…

  • 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…

  • Spirit

    I’m becoming more solid in my monoaltrism. Human things like father, mother, and child proceed from spirit. I muddle things by using the term Holy Spirit. That is a specifically Christian concept from the Trinity and is only repurposed a little to fit the LDS Godhead. But if our origin is spirit and manifest gods…
